Did our early ancestors first start by beating things together to create rhythm, or using their voices to sing? What types of instruments did they use? ____1____ The answers show that the history of music is, in many ways, the history of humans.So, what is music?This is difficult to answer, as everyone has their own idea. “Sound that conveys emotion” is what Jeremy Montagu of the University of Oxford and author of the article describes.____2____ If we take singing, then controlling pitch(音高) is important. Scientists have studied the skulls and jaws of early apes, to see if they were able to make a sound and control pitch. Another important component of music is rhythm. Our early ancestors may have created rhythmic music by clapping their hands. ____3____ Many of these instruments are likely to have been made from soft materials like wood, and so haven't survived. What have survived are bone pipes. So, music is old, and may have been with us from when humans first evolved.But why did it arise and why has it existed? There are many possible functions of music. One is dancing. Another obvious reason for music is entertainment. ____4____ However, the major reason why music arises and exists may be that it brings people together. ____5____ He concludes: “It has even been suggested that music, in causing such bonding, created not only the family but society itself, bringing individuals together who might otherwise have lived alone.”A．When did our ancestors begin making music?B．Music can express certain emotion that you can feel.C．This may be linked to the earliest musical instruments.D．Our ancestors created music by beating stones or sticks by accident.E．Has music always been important in human society, and if so, why?F．Music can also be used for communication, often over large distances.G．“Music leads to bonding, such as bonding between mother and child or bonding between groups,” explains Montagu.（2022·黑龙江·高二学业考试）Many students study by reading their notes and textbooks over and over again. But studies show there are more effective ways to help you study smarter. ____6____ Many students know what they are expected to do. Yet many often fail to plan ahead. So they need first to set a reachable target. Break it into pieces and make them happen one by one. It may seem strange at first. But after two weeks or more, it becomes a normal thing. Don’t just reread. ____7____ Rereading is like looking at the answer to a puzzle, rather than doing it yourself. It looks like it makes sense. But until you try it yourself, you don’t really know if you understand it. Find examples. Abstract concepts can be hard to understand. It tends to be far easier to form a mental image if you have a concrete example of something. ____8____ On its own, that concept might be hard to remember. But if you think about a lemon or vinegar, it becomes easier! Dig deeper. It’s hard to remember countless facts and figures if you don’t push further. Ask why things are a certain way. How did they come about? Why do they matter? Psychologists call this elaboration(深究). It’s taking class material and asking many how and why questions about it. ____9____ Practice more. Musicians practice their instruments. Athletes practice sports skills. ____10____ In a study, students took practice tests over several weeks. On the final test, they scored more than a full letter grade better, on average, than did students who studied the way they normally had. As a teen, Cynthia Nebel studied by reading her textbooks, worksheets and notebooks. “Over and over and over again,” recalls this psychologist at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tenn. Now, she adds, “we know that’s one of the most common bad study skills that students have.”A．Make a budget and save it.B．Make a plan and stick to it.C．The same should go for learning.D．However, not all can apply to students.E．In other words, don’t just accept facts at face value.F．Sadly, reading books and notes repeatedly is common for many students.G．For instance, sour foods usually taste that way because they contain an acid.（2022·甘肃·天水市第一中学高二学业考试）One of the most important skills in building a successful career is listening. While drive and confidence may get you in the door of a dream job, listening enables you to build successful partnerships that will help you climb to the top. ____11____ When colleagues feel listened to, they feel safe to communicate and enjoy working together.So how do people become good listeners?____12____While we all have our own ideas, to properly listen, we must put these aside when the other person is speaking. Many people succeed because they’ve learned to listen with the purpose of understanding what the other person is trying to convey. It helps you get important information, of course, but it’s more than that: It’s also。
