20、 universal pastime. People around the world listen to it, play it, and appreciate it. However, world music is a subject that receives little attention in the West. Unfortunately, its common for people in the United States and Great Britain to be completely unfamiliar with the many styles of music fo

21、und in countries around the world. One of the most different, yet nonetheless beautiful, styles of music is found in Mongolia.Traditional Mongolian music uses a range of instruments, many of which are unique variations of instruments familiar to other cultures, such as the horse head fiddle, lute, t

22、rumpet, flute, zither, and drums. The most unique and well-known components of traditional Mongolian music, however, are the solo singing styles known as khuumii and urtiin duu.Khuumii, or throat singing, is performed without instrumental accompaniment, comes from deep in the throat, and produces th

23、e effect of two distinct notes at the same time. Khuumii developed in western Mongolia and the present-day Russian Republic of Tuva. The open expanse of the landscape in these regions was favorable for this type of singing, which allowed voices to travel long distances with minimal effort. Today, th

24、roat singing has become internationally known. However, many of the acts recording music and traveling the world are from Russia. Though many Mongolians still enjoy listening to and singing traditional music, young people (like those in many countries) tend to prefer modern pop music.Urtiin duu date

25、s back to the 13th century, when the style was practised as a professional art. Urtiin duu relates intricate stories about the natural beauty of the land and the rituals of daily life. The vocal style is similar to khuumii in that it takes a talented, practised singer in order to perform well. The s

26、ounds are drawn-out and require extreme control of the singers breath. Some examples of this style have been recorded to have as many as 20,000 verses, thus earning the name long songs.41.Music is almost a universal pastime.

31、presenting informationC. making an argumentD. persuading the reader窗体底端Answer当我被上帝造出来时，上帝问我想在人间当一个怎样的人，我不假思索的说，我要做一个伟大的世人皆知的人。于是，我降临在了人间。我出生在一个官僚知识分子之家，父亲在朝中做官，精读诗书，母亲知书答礼，温柔体贴，父母给我去了一个好听的名字：李清照。小时侯，受父母影响的我饱读诗书，聪明伶俐，在朝中享有“神童”的称号。小时候的我天真活泼，才思敏捷，小河畔，花丛边撒满了我的诗我的笑，无可置疑，小时侯的我快乐无虑。“兴尽晚回舟，误入藕花深处。争渡，争渡，惊起一滩
