［A］ Reading of music notation has a great impact on musicians.
［B］ People may draw imspiration from it.
［C］ The music culture will be influenced by it in the end.

本题考查事实细节。根据题干中的“印刷式乐谱”定位到第二段。该段第三句提到，印刷式乐谱形式单调（limit variety），因为它们往往将所有歌曲都标准化。因此［D］不是它的优点，而是局限性。
［A］在该段末句提到，该句指出读乐谱（包括印刷乐谱）的能力对音乐家有着深远的影响。该段第三句yet转折后指出，印刷式乐谱促使人们创作新的、不同的歌曲。由此可推知创作者从中获得了灵感。［B］是其优点。从该段末句可知，当读乐谱的能力得到普及时，会对整个音乐文化产生影响。因此［C］也是其优点。

第8题：
It has been thought and said that Africans are born with musical talent.Because music is so important in the lives of many Africans and because so much music is performed in Africa, we are inclined to think that all Africans are musicians.The impression is strengthened when we look at ourselves and find that we have become largely a society of musical spectators (旁观).Music is important to us, but most of us can be considered consumers rather than producers of music.We have records, televisions, concerts, and radios to fulfil many of our musical needs.In most situations where music is performed in our culture it is not difficult to distinguish the audience from the performers, but such is often not the case in Africa.Alban Ayipaga, a Kasena semiprofessional musician from northern Ghana, says that when his flute (长笛) and drum ensemble (歌舞团) is performing, "Anybody can take part".This is true, but Kasena musicians recognize that not all people are equally capable of taking part in the music.Some can sing along with the drummers, but relatively few can drum and even fewer can play the flute along with the ensemble.It is fairly common in Africa for there to be an ensemble of expert musicians surrounded by others who join in by clapping, singing, or somehow adding to the totality of musical sound.Performances often take place in an open area (that is, not on a stage) and so the lines between the performing nucleus and the additional performers, active spectators, and passive spectators may be difficult to draw from our point of view.
