上一題
Music which is original is individual and personal. That is to say, it can be identified as belonging to a particular composer. It has particular qualities, or a style, which are not copied from another. If you can recognize the style of a composer, you will probably be able to tell that a certain composition belongs to him or her even though you have never heard it before. A basket-maker has the skill of weaving and interweaving his materials to create colorful patterns. Similarly, in music a composer organizes his melodies and rhythm and combines sounds to create harmony. A composer may be capable of thinking up very good, original tunes, yet if tunes are poorly organized, that is, if the workmanship is poor, the final result will not be up to standard. Good music expresses feelings in a way that is suitable to those feelings. These may be joy, sorrow, fear, love, anger, or whatever. Bad music, on the other hand, may exaggerate some feelings and make them vulgar, that is, cheap and ugly. Good music will stand the test of time. It will not go out of fashion but will continue to be enjoyed and respected long after it is first introduced. It will gain a kind of permanent status while bad music will disappear and be forgotten quickly in pop music, where the general rule seems to be Tthe newer the better,U the test of time is the hardest test of all to pass.

另外,閱讀測驗的話,不應該查字典去說這個字是什麼意思。而該是用閱讀的文章去判斷作者說的這個是什麼意思。

第一句已明確說了,作曲者的技能組織旋律和各種聲音。就像編籃的人的技能一樣的概念。

第二句,如果組織旋律和各種聲音弄的很糟,"that is(to say)"即是,也可以這樣說

workmanship 很爛。所以第二句已說了workmanship 就是 組織旋律和各種聲音

所以(A) The skill in making things.  在製作東西的技能=組織旋律和各種聲音

第三句是說  組織各種聲音和旋律的能力爛的話,是如何爛,和爛的話會發生什麼事。
