For many years, people tried to find easier ways to wash their clothes. (3)…, for example, put their
clothes in bags and threw them into the sea. This method worked quite well because the moving water
helped.
In 1846, the first washing machine was invented, but it was (4)…… to use. The water was cold, so
people warmed it on a fire. Then they pulled the clean, wet clothes through a special machine to take out the
water.
The first electric washing machine was designed in 1908. It was more useful because it could warm

Read the following passage and mark the letter А, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct
answer to each of the questions from 1 to 7.
In the 1960s, it took pop and rock groups one or two days to record other their songs. Nowadays, it can take
months and months. Many rock groups begin by recording only one instrument, for example, the voice.
Then they record other instruments – electric piano, synthesizer, guitars, drums and so on.
Next, they might use a computer to add special effects. Finally, they ‘mix’ all the instruments until they get
the sound that they want. This means that a CD or cassette will always sound very different from a live
concert.
Music engineers have developed a new computer programme that will change the future of music. A
computer can analyze a singer's voice. Then if you give the computer the lyrics and music of a song, the
computer can 'sing' it in that voice. This means that a singer only needs to record one song and the computer
can then sing other songs in the singer's own voice. Singers can sing new songs many years after they have
died.
Most of us listen to music for pleasure, but for the record companies, music is a product, the same as soap
powder. When a record company finds a new group (or 'band'), they first try to develop the band's 'profile'.
They will try to create an 'image' for the band that they think will attract young people. Instead of allowing
the band’s full artistic freedom, they will often tell the band what they should wear, what they should say
and how they should sing and play.
In recent year, many rock groups have started their own record companies because they say that the big
companies are too commercial.
1. Today, to record songs, it takes ____.
A. longer than it used to do B. shorter than it used to do
C. only one or two days D. the same amount of time as the 1960s
2. Today’s record procedure results in ____.
A. different sounds of recorded songs and live-performed songs
B. the mixture between CDs and live concert
C. some special effects on songs

A. It is predicted to change the music future.
B. It can imitate singers' voices.
C. It can sing only one recorded song of the singer.
D. The singer does not necessarily present to really sing.
4. The word "it" in the passage refers to ____.
A. music B. a lyric C. a singer D. a song

A. suggest the outfits of the band B. tell the band what to say
C. give the band freedom to do things D. decide the songs the band will play
