Part III: Reading Comprehension
Questions 41 to 45 are based on the following passage.
Music is almost a universal pastime. People around the world listen to it, play it, and appreciate it. However, world music is a subject that receives little attention in the West. Unfortunately, it's common for people in the United States and Great Britain to be completely unfamiliar with the many styles of music found in countries around the world. One of the most different, yet nonetheless beautiful, styles of music is found in Mongolia.
Traditional Mongolian music uses a range of instruments, many of which are unique variations of instruments familiar to other cultures, such as the horse head fiddle, lute, trumpet, flute, zither, and drums. The most unique and well-known components of traditional Mongolian music, however, are the solo singing styles known as khuumii and urtiin duu.
Khuumii, or throat singing, is performed without instrumental accompaniment, comes from deep in the throat, and produces the effect of two distinct notes at the same time. Khuumii developed in western Mongolia and the present-day Russian Republic of Tuva. The open expanse of the landscape in these regions was favorable for this type of singing, which allowed voices to travel long distances with minimal effort. Today, throat singing has become internationally
known. However, many of the acts recording music and traveling the world are from Russia. Though many Mongolians still enjoy listening to and singing traditional music, young people (like those in many countries) tend to prefer modern pop music.
Urtiin duu dates back to the 13th century, when the style was practised as a professional art. Urtiin duu relates intricate stories about the natural beauty of the land and the rituals of daily life. The vocal style is similar to khuumii in that it takes a talented, practised singer in order to perform well. The sounds are drawn-out and require extreme control of the singer's breath. Some examples of this style have been recorded to have as many as 20,000 verses, thus earning the name \
