问题          Early attempts to appreciate popular music concentrated almost exclusively
   on the American scene. For example, the music critic Adorno focused his
   analysis on the cultural hegemony achieved by the ruling classes through the
Line manipulation of musical semiotics in rapidly developing forms of mass
(5)    communication. The primacy of American forms on radio and record at this time
   was pronounced,  but it seems unfortunate that Adorno, in particular,
   concentrated his gaze exclusively on the most commercial forms of mainstream
   pop, ignoring counter-cultural developments within the USA, such as blues,
   jazz and gospel, or without. Although he was writing into the sixties, the
(10)    explosion of rock ’n’ roll and the proliferation of forms that it yielded seem not
   to have affected him, nor that of the rapid development of a radically different
   form of popular music in the Caribbean, such as Calypso. His trenchant analysis
   offered much in understanding the hegemony and manipulation of meaning in
   advanced capitalist societies, but less laudable is his tendency to perceive
(15)    popular music as an exclusively American form, and as monolithic and
   undifferentiated. [br] In lines 11 - 12, the phrase "radically different form" refers to

选项 A、pop music in relation to non-pop music in the Caribbean
B、music different from that which Adorno had previously considered
C、a style of popular music that did not exist in the United States
D、music which was outside the control of mass communication
E、the influence of rock ’n’ roll, or lack thereof, on Calypso

答案 C

解析
