Go for E Q17: 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. (Premise) Musicologists therefore hypothesize that the diatonic musical scale was developed and used thousands of years before it was adopted by Western musicians. (Conclusion) Which of the following, if true, most strongly supports the hypothesis?
- Bone flutes were probably the only musical instrument made by Neanderthals.
(choice A:无法对结论support ) - 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. {choice B: irrelevant,无关的比较, 无法support hypothesis, 也就是, 就算是the flute比任何一种乐器 还早使用diatomic scale也无法support 题目中的结论 (结论是这种是用早于西方音乐家) } - 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. (好绕的一段话, irrelevant) D. Flutes are the simplest wind instrument that can be constructed to allow playing a diatonic scale. (无关比较, 最简单的乐器不代表support 结论) - 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. ( correct , 在 premise 与 conclusion 中间set up bridge, 来support conclusion )
open to discuss
