In what way is music important? 用 In what way 询问音乐重要性的具体表现，属于对文中具体信息的考查。

In what way is music important? 为简单疑问句，主干是 music is important，In what way 询问方式或方面，无否定、比较等陷阱。

• A)偷换概念

  选项 It is able to create novel and extraordinary emotions 把原文 This can create extraordinary results 中的 extraordinary results 偷换为 extraordinary emotions，并新增 novel，改变了原文对象。

• B)✓ 正确
  • has the potential to bring people together↔has the power to unite people
  • across the globe↔throughout the world

  原文说音乐有潜力将全球人民凝聚在和平与和谐中，It has the power to unite people throughout the world 用 power 替换 potential，unite 替换 bring together，throughout the world 替换 across the globe，整体语义完全一致。

• C)过度推断

  原文 bring people together in peace and harmony 中的 harmony 是比喻性的和平和谐，选项 It allows different cultural groups to sing in harmony 把它具体化为 '唱歌和谐'，并添加 sing，属于过度具体化。

• D)过度推断

  原文 Music is a universal language 只说音乐是通用语言，并未说它是 the only language favored by all peoples of the world，only 与 favored 均无出处。

Why does the author like to see musicians from different cultures perform together? 为 why 引导的特殊疑问句，主干是 the author likes to see musicians perform together，无复杂从句。

• A)无中生有

  选项 Their musical experience can be compared 提出 '比较经历'，但原文 P1 只描述作者喜欢观看这种表演，未涉及比较。

• B)偷换概念

  原文 an entirely new sound is achieved 说的是产生全新声音，选项 A novel language can be created 把 sound 偷换为 language。

• C)偷换概念

  原文 each culture brings its own unique qualities to the group 强调文化特质被带入团体以创造新声音，选项 Their unique skills can be displayed 把 qualities 窄化为 skills，并把 brings 改为 displayed，重心从 '共同创造' 偏移为 '展示个人技能'。

• D)✓ 正确
  • This can create extraordinary results.↔Fantastic results can be achieved.
  • an entirely new sound is achieved↔Fantastic results can be achieved.

What does the passage say about the pentatonic scale? 直接问文中关于某对象的具体说法，属于典型细节题。

What does the passage say about the pentatonic scale? 为 what 引导的特殊疑问句，about 的宾语 pentatonic scale 是定位核心，结构简单。

• A)✓ 正确
  • This scale can be found in music everywhere↔It is present in music all around the world.
  • including that of Native Americans, Africans, and Asians↔It is present in music all around the world.

  原文 This scale can be found in music everywhere 与 It is present in music all around the world 语义完全等值，仅表达方式不同。

• B)过度推断

  原文 musicians from around the globe have a medium through which they can relate, communicate, perform, and ultimately understand each other 说的是音乐家相互理解，选项 It is helpful to understanding music 把对象扩大为 '理解音乐'，范围过宽。

• C)过度推断

  原文 musicians from around the globe have a medium through which they can relate 的主体是 musicians，选项 It is a medium for ordinary people to relate 把主体换成 ordinary people。

What is the fundamental role of music in people's life? 用 What is the ... role 询问音乐的根本作用，属于细节题。

What is the fundamental role of music in people's life? 为 what 引导的特殊疑问句，of music in people's life 是后置定语，修饰 role，结构平铺直叙。

• A)答非所问

  原文 has the potential to bring people together 与 it has the power to unite us 确实是音乐的作用，但题干问的是 fundamental role，答案应是 essentially serves to express or change emotions，A 项答非所问。

• B)无中生有

  选项 To show their identity 提出 '展示身份'，但原文从未提到 identity 或相关概念。

• C)✓ 正确
  • Music essentially serves to express or change emotions↔To express their emotions.

  原文 Music essentially serves to express or change emotions 中，express or change emotions 是音乐的本质功能，To express their emotions 提取了其中 express emotions 这一核心，对应 fundamental role。

• D)以偏概全

  原文 Music can simply be recreational: entertaining, joyful and fun 提到娱乐是音乐的用途之一，但选项 To keep them entertained 把它提升为根本作用，忽略了 express or change emotions 的核心地位。

In what aspect is music similar throughout the world? 用 In what aspect 询问全球音乐相似的具体方面，属于细节题。

In what aspect is music similar throughout the world? 为 in what aspect 引导的特殊疑问句，主干是 music is similar，throughout the world 限定范围，无复杂结构。

• A)偷换概念

  原文 every other culture has used music in the very same way 说的是 '使用' 音乐的方式相同，选项 The way people respond to it 把它改为 '回应' 音乐的方式，动作性质改变。

• B)以偏概全

  原文 the purposes behind music are very similar across the board 强调使用目的/方式相似，选项 The role it plays in society 把它扩大为 '社会角色'，范围过宽且未突出 '方式'。

• C)以偏概全

  原文 Music can simply be recreational: entertaining, joyful and fun 提到 joy 是娱乐用途的一部分，选项 The joy it brings to people 把它提升为音乐全球相似性的方面，范围过窄。

• D)✓ 正确
  • the purposes behind music are very similar across the board↔The way it is made use of.
  • every other culture has used music in the very same way↔The way it is made use of.

  原文指出不同文化音乐的目的和使用方式非常相似，The way it is made use of 准确概括了 purposes behind music 与 used music in the same way 两者。
