15、.“By the third generation,the original language is lost in the majority ofimmigrant families.”Hence the description of America as a“graveyard”for languages.By 1996 foreign-born immigrants who had arrived before 1970 had a home ownershiprate of 75.6 percent,higher than the 69.8 percent rate among nat
16、ive-born Americans.Foreign-born Asians and Hispanics“have higher rates of intermarriage than doU.S.-born whites and blacks.”By the third generation,one third of Hispanic women2022 考研英语（一）基础阶段测评卷_官 网：电 话：400-011-8090地 址：北京市海淀区中关村南大街 17 号院韦伯时代中心 C 座北配楼4are married to non-Hispanics,and 41 percent of As

23、ntment in 2009.For the most part,the response has beenfavorable,to say the least.“Hooray!At last!”wrote Anthony Tommasini,asober-sided classical-music critic.One of the reasons why the appointment came as such a surprise,however,isthat Gilbert is comparatively little known.Even Tommasini,who had adv
24、ocatedGilberts appointment in the Times,calls him“an unpretentious musician with no airof the formidable conductor about him.”As a description of the next music director ofan orchestra that has hitherto been led by musicians like Gustav Mahler and PierreBoulez,that seems likely to have struck at lea
25、st some Times readers as faint praise.For my part,I have no idea whether Gilbert is a great conductor or even a goodone.To be sure,he performs an impressive variety of interesting compositions,but itis not necessary for me to visit Avery Fisher Hall,or anywhere else,to hearinteresting orchestral mus

28、where,and very often much higher in artistic quality thantodays live performances;moreover,they can be“consumed”at a time and place ofthe listeners choosing.The widespread availability of such recordings has thusbrought about a crisis in the institution of the traditional classical concert.One possi
29、ble response is for classical performers to program attractive newmusic that is not yet available on record.Gilberts own interest in new music has beenwidely noted:Alex Ross,a classical-music critic,has described him as a man who iscapable of turning the Philharmonic into“a markedly different,more v
30、ibrantorganization.”But what will be the nature of that difference?Merely expanding theorchestras repertoire will not be enough.If Gilbert and the Philharmonic are tosucceed,they must first change the relationship between Americas oldest orchestraand the new audience it hopes to attract.26.We learn
31、from Paragraph 1 that Gilberts appointment has _.A incurred criticismB raised suspicionC received acclaimD aroused curiosity27.Tommasini regards Gilbert as an artist who is _.A influential.B modest.C respectable.D talented.28.The author believes that the devoted concertgoers_.A ignore the expenses o
