Today we learn about the Chinese flute(长笛)—a traditional musical instrument. Some scientists find it has a history of over 8,000 years. According to research, the first known Chinese flutes were made of the bones of cranes(鹤).
In ancient times, people carved the bones with great effort and put five to seven holes in them. A player holds the flute up to his mouth and straight out to the right. The air moves through the flute, and then it makes a musical sound. The player presses different keys on the flute to make different musical sounds.
Later, most flutes are made of bamboo. They are generally divided into two types. In the north, the flute which is used to accompany the Bangzi opera is called Bangdi. This flute is short. In the south, the flute which is used to accompany the Kunqu opera is called Qudi. This flute is longer and thicker than the Bangdi and the music style is gentler. Now, some flutes are even made of plastic.
Because it sounds great and is easy to learn, the Chinese flute is one of the most popular musical instruments in Asia now. You can be sure that flute makers will always be on the lookout for better quality of sound.

解析:
【分析】
这是一篇介绍中国传统长笛发展历史的阅读理解题,三道题均可以通过回原文定位对应信息得出答案:第4题询问最早的中国长笛出现的时间,直接回到原文第一段查找和时间相关的描述即可;第5题询问骨制长笛后续不再流行的原因,回到第二段查找骨笛制作过程的相关描述,就能推导得出制作难度大是核心原因;第6题是信息排序创新题型,只需要顺着语篇的时间线,依次梳理不同阶段长笛的制作材料,就能排出正确顺序。
【解析】
4. 定位原文第一段内容"Some scientists find it has a history of over 8,000 years.",可知中国长笛的历史超过8000年,也就是最早的中国长笛出现在8000多年前,对应选项D。
5. 定位原文第二段内容"In ancient times, people carved the bones with great effort and put five to seven holes in them.",可知制作骨笛需要耗费极大的精力雕刻骨头、打孔,制作难度非常高,因此骨笛后续没有普及流行,对应选项B。
6. 梳理全文不同阶段的制笛材料:①最早的已知中国长笛由鹤骨制成(对应c);②之后大部分长笛改用竹子制作(对应a);③如今部分长笛甚至用塑料制作(对应b),因此材料发展顺序为c-a-b,对应选项C。
【答案】
4. D 5. B 6. C
