问题     Accustomed though we are to speaking of the films made before 1927 as "silent", the film has never been, in the full sense of the word, silent. From the very beginning, music was regarded as an【C1】______accompaniment; when the Lumiere films were shown at the first public film exhibition in the United States in February 1896, they were【C2】______by piano improvisations (即兴创作) on popular tunes. At first, the music played【C3】______no special relationship to the films; an accompaniment of any kind was【C4】______. Within a very short time, however, the incongruity (不协调) of playing lively music to a【C5】______film became apparent, and film pianists began to take some care in【C6】______their pieces to the mood of the film.
    As movie theaters grew in number and importance, a violinist, and perhaps a cellist, would be added to the pianist in certain【C7】______, and in the larger movie theaters small orchestras were formed. For a number of years the selection of music for each film program【C8】______entirely in the hands of the conductor or leader of the orchestra, and very often the principal【C9】______for holding such a position was not skill or taste so much as the ownership of a large personal library of musical pieces. Since the conductor seldom saw the films until the night before they were to be shown, the musical arrangement was【C10】______improvised in the greatest hurry.
A) sufficient I) bore
B) incredible J) qualification
C) accompanied K) solemn
D) comparatively L) indispensable
E) matching M) severe
F) rested N) according
G) normally O) cases H) occasions
【C8】
选项
答案F
解析 此句需填入动词过去式充当句子谓语。根据句子的意思，在当时配乐的选择完全由指挥或管弦乐队的队长来决定，故选rested。rest in the hands of是同定搭配，意为“在于，取决于”。
