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 thoughthey can sing over a range of seven octaves, the whales 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 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.

According to the passage, which of the following is true of humpback whales?

A. they do not use rhyme, unlike humans.

B. their tunes are distinctively different from human tunes.

C. whale songs of a particular group cannot be learned by other whales.

D. they can sing over a range of seven octaves.

Đáp án D

Theo đoạn văn, điều nào sau đây đúng với cá voi lưng gù?

A. không giống con người, chúng không sử dụng vần.

B. các giai điệu của chúng khác biệt rõ nét với giai điệu của con người.

C. các bài hát của một nhóm cá voi riêng biệt không thể được học bởi những con cá voi khác.

D. chúng có thể hát một khoảng gồm bảy quãng tám.

Thông tin ở câu: “Even though they can sing over a range of seven octaves, the whales typically sing in key, spreading adjacent notes no farther apart than a scale”: Mặc dù chúng có thể hát trong khoảng 7 quãng tám, nhưng cá voi thường hát theo trọng âm, lan rộng các nốt liền kề xa hơn một âm giai.

Dịch bài

Âm nhạc có thể mang tới cho chúng ta những giọt nước mắt hay những bước nhảy, có thể dẫn chúng ta đến những trận chiến hay cũng có thể ru chúng ta ngủ. Âm nhạc thực sự đáng chú ý trong quyền lực của nó đối với toàn thể nhân loại, và có lẽ vì lý do đó, không một nền văn hoá nào trên trái đất đã từng sống mà không có nó. Từ các khám phá được thực hiện ở Pháp và Slovenia, ngay cả người Neanderthal, cách đây 53.000 năm, cũng đã phát triển những chiếc sáo tinh vi, có âm thanh ngọt ngào được chạm khắc từ xương thú vật.Có thể sau đó, không phải ngẫu nhiên mà âm nhạc gây ấn tượng với những hợp âm với hệ hệ limbic - một phần cổ xưa của bộ não chúng ta liên quan đến việc tiến hóa trong lời nói và là một điểm chung của chúng ta và thế giới động vật. Một số nhà nghiên cứu thậm chí còn đặt ra giả thuyết rằng âm nhạc xuất hiện trong thế giới này trước cả nhân loại. Ví dụ: thực tế âm nhạc của cá voi và âm nhạc của con người có rất nhiều điểm chung mặc dù các con đường tiến hóa của chúng ta đã khác nhau từ gần 60 triệu năm cho thấy âm nhạc có thể xảy ra trước loài người. Họ khẳng định rằng thay vì là người sáng tạo ra âm nhạc, chúng ta là những người tiếp xúc trễ với nền âm nhạc.

Những nhà soạn nhạc cá voi lưng gù sử dụng nhiều mánh khóe giống các nhà soạn nhạc loài người làm. Ngoài việc sử dụng các nhịp điệu tương tự, cá voi lưng gù còn giữ những tiết nhạc trong một vài giây, tạo ra các bản dạo đầu từ một số tiết nhạc trước khi hát tiết tiếp theo. Những bài hát của cá voi nói chung không có gì hơn là những phần của bản giao hưởng, có lẽ là bởi vì chúng có một khoảng chú ý tương tự. Mặc dù chúng có thể hát trong khoảng 7 quãng tám, nhưng cá voi thường hát theo trọng âm, lan rộng các nốt liền kề xa hơn một âm giai. Có lẽ những bài hát tuyệt vời nhất của cá voi lưng gù bao gồm những điệp khúc lặp đi lặp lại mà có vần với nhau. Người ta cho rằng cá voi có thể sử dụng vần với các lý do chính xác như chúng ta làm: như các công cụ giúp chúng ghi nhớ. Các bài hát của cá voi cũng có thể khá hấp dẫn. Khi một số ít con lưng gù từ Ấn Độ Dương đi lạc vào Thái Bình Dương, một số con cá voi mà chúng gặp ở đó đã nhanh chóng thay đổi giai điệu của chúng - hát các bài hát cá voi mới chỉ trong vòng ba năm ngắn. Một số nhà khoa học thậm chí còn bị cám dỗ để suy đoán rằng thế giới âm nhạc đang chờ đợi sự khám phá.

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.

Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?

A. Music may have an influence on the whale brain

B. The earliest human beings came from France and Slovenia

C. The research of musical brain always leads to a discovery of a universal music

D. Humpback whales imitate the way human composers work in creating their own music

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 35 to 42.

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 thoughthey can sing over a range of seven octaves, the whales 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 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.
