8、ist at Harvard started working on the project after he kept reading an overfamiliar line at the top of research papers that said, “music is universal.” But every time he came across the statement, there wasnt a citation to back it up.To see if there was any proof to this claim, he and his fellow res
9、earchers created two databases: one with descriptions from the researchers of what happened when music from the 1960s was playing, and another of 118 audio recordings from 86 different societies.He found that there were three characteristics of behavior that consistently characterized music: formali
10、ty, arousal (or how calming or exciting a song was), and religiosityreligious respect.People did a decent job guessing the themes, especially for dance songs and nursery rhymes, says Manvir Singh, a Harvard Ph. D. student in the department of human evolutionary biology.“Music appears in this huge di
11、versity of behavioral, social, emotional context in human societies,” Singh says, “but it does so similarly across societies. ”“The musical brain may have led to things that we take for granted in human nature, like compassion and empathy(同情与共情),because music uniquely can help us achieve those state
12、s,” Daniel Levitin, a cognitive scientist whos done similar research on music and evolution, explains, “Not to mention awe, appreciation, and gratitude. ”For Mehr and his team, the hunt for data is just the beginning. The lab is running more detailed quizzes to dig into how people respond to what th
13、ey hear. They also hope to do studies on different populations like babies to see how they react to tunes like nursery rhymes from faraway societies.Singh says he also hopes to analyze lyrics and the way they shape peoples feelings and actions, even if its in a language they dont understand. Explori
14、ng the lyrics allows us to better understand how music can bring these emotional or behavioral responses,” says Singh, “but also, in a broader way, the world view of the people who are singing.”4.

17、 be sought.【答案】4. B 5. D 6. A 7. DCIf you watch nature documentaries, its easy to come away with the impression that grand tropical forests have been largely undisturbed until modern times. However, in the last two decades, scientific data have shown that, actually, human societies have occupied and
18、 changed these environments over many million years.Patrick Roberts, from the Max Planck Institute for the Science of Human History, says some of the trees alive in tropical forests are up to a thousand years old. And theyre sort of like time capsules, storing a record of past human activity in thei
19、r tree rings, chemistry and DNA. So he wanted to see how different existing methods might come together to explore past tree populations, tree growth, tree ages by looking at the largest witnesses of the changes in human activity in the tropicsthe trees themselves.For example, native peoples of the
20、Amazon basin planted Brazil nuts for thousands of years. Roberts colleague Victor Caetano-Andrade analyzed tree rings to determine the age and growth rates of Brazil nut trees near the city of Manaus. He found that many trees were established in the late 1600s, but there was a steep drop-off in new
21、trees around the middle of the 18th century.As colonial communities came into Manaus and developed the city, they drove the natives out, often killing them. And what Victor found is that, actually, their growth slowed after this period without these traditional management strategies.Another example
22、is how communities selected for genetic features in a variety of tropical trees, such as the cocoa tree-used, of course, to make chocolate. A more detailed full genome analysis of this plant has shown that humans may have even selected genes that reduced bitterness and improved its resistance to dis
23、ease for their own economic benefit.Roberts says recognizing tropical trees as time capsules of cultural heritage gives us yet another reason to protect them. “Not just because of their ecological benefits, which are hugely significant, but also the information that they store about human history, a
