【正确答案】 C

【答案解析】[听力原文]
   In western culture, music is regarded as good by birth. In some other cultures, however, it is of low value. There are three types of music. First, classical music, composed and performed by trained professionals originally under the support of courts and religious establishments; second, folk music, shared by the population at large and passed on orally; and third, popular music, performed by professionals, spread through radio, television, recorders, film, and print, and consumed by the urban mass public.
   Music is a major component in religious services, theater, and entertainment of all sorts. The most universal use of music is as a part of religious ritual. In some tribal societies, music appears to serve as a special form of communication with supernatural beings. Another less obvious function of music is social adherence. For most social groups, music can serve as a powerful symbol. Members of most societies share keen feelings as to what kind of music they "belong to." Indeed, some minorities including black Americans and Euro-American racial groups use music as a major symbol of group identity. Music also symbolizes military, patriotic and funeral moods and events.
