Music can bring us to tears or to our feet, drive us into battle or lull us to sleep Music is indeed remarkable in its power over all humankind, and perhaps for that very reason, no human culture on earth has ever lived without it From discoveries made in France and Slovenia even Neanderthal man, as long
as 53,000 years ago, had developed surprisingly sophisticated, sweet-sounding flutes carved from animal
bones It is perhaps then, no accident that music should strike such a chord with the limbic system- an
ancient part of our brain, evolutionarily speaking, and one that we share with much of the animal
kingdom Some researchers even propose that music came into this world long before the human race ever did For example, the fact that whale and human music have so much in common even though our evolutionary paths have not intersected for nearly 60 million years suggests that music may predate humans They assert that rather than being the inventors of music, we are latecomers to the musical scene
Humpback whale composers employ many of the same tricks that human songwriters do In addition to using similar rhythms, humpbacks keep musical phrases to a few seconds, creating themes out
of several phrases before singing the next one Whale songs in general are no longer than symphony
movements, perhaps because they have a similar attention span Even though they can sing over a range
of seven octaves, the whale typically sing in key, spreading adjacent notes no farther apart than a scale They mix percussive and pure tones in pretty much the same ratios as human composers- and follow their
Trang 55
ABA form, in which a theme is presented, elaborated on and then revisited in a slightly modified form
Perhaps most amazing, humpback whale songs include repeating refrains that rhyme It has been
suggested that whales might use rhymes for exactly the same reasons that we do: as devices to help them remember Whale songs can also be rather catchy When a few humpbacks from the Indian Ocean strayed
into the Pacific, some of the whales they met there quickly changed their tunes- singing the new whales’
songs within three short years Some scientists are even tempted to speculate that a universal music awaits discovery
Question 61: Why did the author write the passage?
A To describe the music for some animals, including humans
B To illustrate the importance of music to whales
C To show that music is not a human or even modern invention
D To suggest that music is independent of life forms that use it
Question 62: The word “sophisticated” in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to _
Question 63: The word “one” in the first paragraph can be replaced by
A the chord B the left brain C the right brain D the limbic system
Question 64: According to the passage, which of the following is true of humpback whales?
A Their tunes are distinctively different from human tunes
B They can sing over a range of seven octaves
C They do not use rhyme, unlike humans
D Whale songs of a particular group cannot be learned by other whales
Question 65: The word “they” in the second paragraph refers to
A human composers B whole songs C octaves D whales
Question 66: Which of the following is NOT true about humpback whale music?
A It uses similar patterns to human songs
B It’s comparative in length to symphony movements
C It’s easy to learn by other whales
D It’s in a form of creating a theme, elaborating and revisiting in rhyming refrains

Question 68: Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?
A The earliest human beings came from France and Slovenia
B Music helped to shape the whale brain
C Humpback whales imitate the way human composers so in creating their own music
