The spacing of the four holes on a fragment of a bone flute excavated at a Neanderthal campsite is just what is required to play the third through sixth notes of the diatonic scale-the seven-note musical scale used in much of Western music since the Renaissance. Musicologists therefore hypothesize that the diatonic musical scale was developed and used thousands of years before it was adopted by Western musicians.
Which of the following, if true, most strongly supports the hypothesis?

Which of the following, if true, most strongly supports the hypothesis? (A) Bone flutes were probably the only musical instrument made by Neanderthals. (B) No musical instrument that is known to have used a diatonic scale is of an earlier date than the flute found at the Neanderthal campsite. (C) The flute was made from a cave-bear bone and the campsite at which the flute fragment was excavated was in a cave that also contained skeletal remains of cave bears. (D) Flutes are the simplest wind instrument that can be constructed to allow playing a diatonic scale. (E) The cave-bear leg bone used to make the Neanderthal flute would have been long enough to make a flute capable of playing a complete diatonic scale.

Only 乐器。无效,杀
B No musical instrument that is known to have used a diatonic scale is of an earlier date than the flute found at the Neanderthal campsite.
还没有比这次发现的还早的全音阶乐器。这样也不能证明这次的四个孔就是全音阶啊。
C The flute was made from a cave-bear bone and the campsite at which the flute fragment was excavated was in a cave that also contained skeletal remains of cave bears.
同时发现了cave bears的头盖骨。无效,杀
D Flutes are the simplest wind instrument that can be constructed to allow playing a diatonic scale.
最简单的,无效,杀
E The cave-bear leg bone used to make the Neanderthal flute would have been long enough to make a flute capable of playing a complete diatonic scale.
这四个孔所在的cavebear 腿骨足够长能摆得下7个(完整的)全音阶。满足,和题干的fragement呼应,说明完整的骨笛是有可能确实能吹奏完整的全音阶的。

目的:支持假设。
逻辑:发现骨笛碎片,有四个孔,能吹奏七个全音阶的3456. 因此学者假设全音阶数千年之前就存在了。
Gap:有四个孔,不一定就是全音阶。要找到更充分的条件举证全音阶存在才行。
结论:Musicologists therefore hypothesize that the diatonic musical scale was developed and used thousands of years before it was adopted by Western musicians. 全音阶的音乐在被西方音乐学家采用之前几千年就存在了
增强
GAP:虽然四个孔的间隔是弹奏所用的 但是未必就会弹全音阶啊 也许是误打误撞碰巧4个孔的间隔符合全音阶的条件。
B. No musical instrument that is known to have used a diatomic scale is of an earlier date than the flute found at the Neanderthal campsite.在穴居人露营地上,没有已知的被用来演奏全音阶的乐器 削弱
E 这种山洞灰熊的腿骨足够长,以至于可以造出能吹出完整全音阶的骨笛 填补了GAP
