10、ty of California in San Diego have found that children who learn Chinese Ptonghua as babies are far more likely to have perfect pitch. Thats the ability to name or sing a musical note at will. Theyre better than those raised to speak English. Perfect pith, though common among the great composers , i

11、s extremely rare in Europe and the US.Just one in 10000 there is thought to have the skill.【3】 Diana Deutsch, who led the research, believes the explanation lies the different use of tones in the two languages. The meaning of English words does not change with tone; the same is _ Chinese Putonghua.【

12、4】 Deutsch discovered the connection when she tested the firstyear students from the Central Conservatory of Music in Beijing. All of them spoke Chinese Putonghua. She also tested students at Eastman School of Music in New York, who all spoke English.【5】 Each of the students was asked to name 36 not

13、es played at random from a keyboard. The researchers found that of the students who began music lessons between the ages of four and five, 14 per cent of Americans had perfect pitch. That was compared with 60 per cent of Chinese. When children began music lessons later in life, their chances of havi

14、ng perfect pitch dropped dramatically.【6】 “The findings support the idea that babies can acquire perfect pitch as part of learning a language, which can later generalize to musical tones,”said Deutsch.【7】 Butwhile learning Chinese Putonghua appears to give children a better chance of developing perf

15、ect pitch, some parents might appreciate a simpler method.【8】 A good alternative, Deutsch said, might be to let babies play with keyboards with different notes labeled or colourded. As with language, learning perfect pitch is likely to be easier around the ages of 6 to 18 months.【9】 The British comp

16、oser Michael Berkeley said,“If you are using a language where pitch is so much more important your whole perceptoin(感觉) of pitch would be more accurate. The musicality of a language does make it easier to understand pitch.”56、Whats the best title of the passage? (Please answer within 10 words.)_57、W

17、hich sentence in the text is the closest in meaning to the following one?Another way of developing perfect pitch is to mark the notes of a keyboard with different labels and colors, and then to let babies touch this keyboard._58、Please fill in the blank in the third paragraph with proper words or ph

19、he breakdown of the two-parent family. Today, millions of American children grow up without fathers. Too often, these children lack the love and help they badly need and which they would ordinarily receive from not one but two parents. In the old days, American parents placed the needs of their chil

20、dren above their own. At present, however, nearly one half of all new marriages end in divorce(离婚), with often troubling results for their children. Worse, every year, thousands of teenage, unmarried Americans become mothers outside marriage, with generally terrible results for the mothers and child

21、ren alike and for American society more generally. However, Chinese continue to value whole marriages. This is not to say that Chinese marriages are all perfect-they certainly are not, judging from increasing rates of divorce and extramarital affairsbut the willingness of Chinese to set aside their

22、own needs and stay together for the sake of the children is admirable and worthy of study.Families, in whatever form they may take, are important to Americans. If one was to ask a group of Americans what is dearest to them, the majority would say“family”.And yet, so many Americans spend much more ti

23、me at work-that is, beyond the formal forty-hour work week-than they do with their own families. Obviously, the USA is one of the most powerful in the world, owing in large measure to“workaholism”（工作狂）.It seems to me that Chinese generally find a better balance between work and family needs than man

24、y Americans do. I dont see the number of workaholics in China that I do in the United States（or American organizations in China）.Instead, average Chinese usually head home right after work（in the office or field），have meals together, and spend time with their family members. Whats more, Chinese try

25、to make more time for grandparents, uncles, aunts and cousins than many Americans; in many cases, multigenerational families live together. Of course, like many facts of Chinese society, this is all changing; increasing numbers of“New Chinese”are working longer hours and spending less time with thei

26、r families than ever before. Still, while Americans do value their loved ones. I think we have something to learn from the Chinese about finding the proper balance between work and family.1. The main point of the passage is .A. family plays a very important role in America.B. there is something abou

27、t family for Americans to learn from China.C. a proper balance between work and family needs to be found for ChineseD. the Chinese have a proper balance between work and play2.
