All cultures of the world make some forms of music. Music can be simple for example, one person tapping (轻敲) out a beat on a log drum or singing a childrens song. _1_All music includes basic elements, or parts. The main elements of music are rhythm, melody, harmony, and form._2_ The most important part of rhythm is the beat. When you tap your foot to a song you like, you are tapping out the beat. The speed of the beats is called the tempo (速度). The pattern of the beats is called the meter (节拍)Melody is a series of different tones, or sounds, in a piece of music. The tones are played one after another to make up a song. _3_ The highness or lowness of a tone is called its pitch (音高). Musicians describe different tones with the letters A, B, C, D, E, F and G.Harmony takes place when people play more than one tone at the same time. Groups of tones played together are called chords (和弦). _4_Form is the way people put rhythm, melody, and harmony together. _5_ Repeating a short melody is one of the simplest forms. For example, in the song Mary Had a Little Lamb, each verse repeats the same melody. A symphony is a more complex form. In a symphony, different groups of instruments may play different melodies at the same time or a series of harmonies.AThe tones in a melody may be low or high.BRhythm describes the length of musical sounds.CThere are many different types of musical forms.DThe tempo may be fast or slow at different points.EHarmony also describes the way chords go along with a melody.FDrums help other instruments and voices keep the rhythm in many songs.GMusic can also be complex for example, hundreds of instruments playing together for hours.语篇解读：文章主要介绍了音乐的四大要素：节奏、旋律、和声和形式。1解析：选G由该空前的“Music can be simple . singing a childrens song”可知，G项“音乐也可能会复杂，例如，成百上千种乐器一起演奏数小时”符合此处语境。2解析：选B由上文中的“The mai
