Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct answer to each of the questions.
There is nothing to suggest that Evelyn Glennie is profoundly deaf. She insists that her deafness is irrelevant
to her musicianship, but there is no doubt that her obvious handicap has turned a remarkable career into
a miraculous one.
Glennie was eight when her hearing began to fail; by twelve she had lost it completely and feared she would
have to give up the music she loved. But a doctor's suggestion that she should become an accountant rather
than follow a hopeless musical career strengthened her will to succeed.
As it turned out, music was one of the most advantageous careers she could have chosen and is one reason
why her speech remains so extraordinarily correct, despite her deafness. Occasionally she listens to
recordings by holding a cassette player between her knees, interpreting the vibrations and the shaking
movements. Her deafness is one of the reasons for her unique style, for she cannot listen and be influenced
by other performances and she has often declared that getting her hearing back would be the worst thing
that could happen to her.
As a result of her devotion to her music and her determination to succeed, she has doubled the range of
works available for percussion music in Europe and introduced instruments previously unheard of in the

4
West. She has also asked composers to write more than fifty new pieces of music for these instruments and
has set up a library of three hundred works for other musicians to use.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct answer to each of the questions.
Music is one of the human species' relatively few universal abilities. Without formal training, any individual
has the faculty for recognizing music and, in some fashion, making it. Why this should be so is a mystery.
After all, music is not necessary for getting through the day, and if it aids in reproduction, it does so only in
highly indirect ways. Language, by contrast, is also everywhere - but for reasons that are more obvious.
Scientists have always been intrigued by the connection between music and language. Yet over the years,
words and melody have acquired a vastly different status in the lab and the seminar room. While language
has long been considered essential to unlocking the mechanisms of human intelligence, music is generally
treated as an evolutionary frippery - mere "auditory cheesecake", as the Harvard cognitive scientist Steven
Pinker puts it.

6
But thanks to a decade-long wave of neuroscience research, that tune is changing. Human musical
preferences are fundamentally shaped by the messy sounds of real life, and of speech in particular - which
in turn is shaped by our evolutionary heritage. The explanation of music, like the explanation of any
product of the mind, must be rooted in biology. Far from being abstract, music presents a strange analog to
the patterns created by the sounds of speech. Music, like visual arts, is rooted in our experience of the
natural world. It emulates our sound environment in the way that visual arts emulate the visual
environment.
This brings up some chicken-or-egg evolutionary questions. It may be that music imitates speech directly,
the researchers say, in which case it would seem that language evolved first. It is also conceivable that music
came first and language is in effect an imitation of the song - that in everyday speech we hit the musical
notes we especially like. Alternately, it may be that music imitates the general products of the human sound-
making system, which just happens to be mostly speech. We cannot know this, but what we do know is that
they both come from the same system, and it is this that shapes our preferences.
