26、In a study published in The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, Diana Deutsch of the University of California and her co-authors find that musicians who speak an East Asian tone language fluently are much more likely to have perfect pitch(音高).

Unlike English, many East Asian languages, such as Mandarin, Cantonese and Vietnamese, are “tonal”, so that a word’s meaning often depends on the tone in which it is said. So learning perfect pitch is, for fluent speakers of a tone language, similar to learning a second tone language.

The study looked at 203 students at the University of Southern California’s Thornton School of Music through a test. The students listened to the 36 notes. They attempted to identify the notes, and they self-reported their musical, ethnic and linguistic backgrounds — including whether they were very fluent in an East Asian tone language, fairly fluent or not at all fluent. Deutsch and her colleagues found that students who spoke an East Asian tone language very fluently scored nearly 100 percent on the test, and that students who were only fairly fluent in a tone language scored lower overall. Those students who were not at all fluent in speaking a tone language scored the worst on average.

Deutsch acknowledges that it still remains to be discovered why and how it is that some speakers of non-tone languages have perfect pitch. She expects it to be related to either an exceptionally long “critical window” for language acquisition, a very early musical upbringing, or both.

“Perfect pitch for years seemed like a beautiful gift — given only to a few genetically talented people. But our research suggests that it might be available to virtually everybody,” Deutsch said. She also proposed that parents who want their kids to acquire perfect pitch should expose them to musical tones from infancy onwards.

【1】What makes East Asian language speakers have perfect pitch?

A．Their tonal language.

B．Their various dialect.

C．Their musical talent.

D．Their large vocabulary.

【2】Who performed best in the test according to paragraph 3?

A．Students from Asia.

B．Students from America.

C．Students who speak English quite fluently.

D．Students who speak a tone language very fluently.

【3】What is the purpose of paragraph 4?

A．To summarize the paragraphs above.

B．To provide some advice for readers.

C．To add some background information.

D．To introduce the main idea of the text.

【4】How can people develop perfect pitch according to Deutsch?

A．By practicing communication skills.

B．By developing an interest in writing songs.

C．By acquiring as many languages as possible.

D．By receiving musical education from childhood.

27、   Growing up in England with a British father and a Chinese mother, I've enjoyed food from both countries ever since I was able to hold a knife and fork --- and chopsticks!

Mum has sweet memories of the food from her hometown in Sichuan, and often cooks spicy dishes. On account of this, Dad has come to love hot pot! But there are still some dishes that Dad dare not try ever after many years of marriage to my mother. He once told me he was surprised by what he saw on the table when he first visited my mother's parents in China. He was even shocked at their wedding when he saw how the Chinese ate almost every part of an animal. Even today, he still does not easily take to eating things like chicken feet.

But I enjoy sort of food myself. Last week, I went to the butcher's and asked, "Do you have pigs' ears?" "No," the butcher（屠夫） said, pulling at his own ears, "just these ordinary ones." He must have thought I was joking.

Dad can cook a super "full English breakfast" of bacon, eggs, beans, sausages and toast with butter --- Mum and I just have to find a way to get him into the kitchen! He also does a typical Sunday roast. We all love roast beef and vegetables, but Mum says we'd better not eat too much roast food as it may make us suffer from heat inside our bodies, according to traditional Chinese medicine.

I'll never forget my visit to China. Mum encouraged me to try different kinds of food, and I did! I loved everything. But just when I thought I could deal with all Chinese food, I came across stinky tofu, a terrible grey thing that looked and smelt like a burnt sports shoe. "You needn't try it if you don't want to," Mum said, but I gathered all my courage to take a bite and was amazed to find it wasn't that bad. It reminded me of blue cheese, a similarly strong smelling type of food you either love or hate. Maybe I'll fall in love with stinky tofu --- someday.

People say that one man's meat is another man's poison, but I feel at home with food from both my cultures. To me, there's nothing better than a cross-cultural afternoon tea of English biscuits and a cup of Chinese oolong tea in a fine china cup!

28、   When Lily Born was just 7, she noticed her grandfather, who has Parkinson’s disease, was knocking over his cup a lot. Lily felt bad her grandmother had to clean up spills(洒出物) so often.

Lily thought his cup would be less prone to spill if it had “legs”, so she drew a picture of such a cup for her dad, Joe Born. “He took it seriously and told me, ‘That’s your invention. Sign and date it’, which I did,” she said. “We went to Grandma and Grandpa’s house and made a prototype. This was just a plastic one, but it worked!” Later, Lily noticed her dad was always spilling coffee on his computer’s keyboard, so she made him a ceramic cup with legs. He loved it, too.

Though her family enjoyed using the cups, Lily didn’t see them as more than gifts and didn’t place much value on them. She was also struggling in school. “I was afraid of failing fourth grade. It had kind of destroyed my confidence, to be honest,” Lily said. “One day I asked my dad, ‘What am I good at?’ He asked me if I wanted to put the cups into production. It would make me see being an inventor was a real thing and something to be proud of.”

The Borns flew to Jingdezhen, China to find a factory that would produce the cups and make more prototypes. “We’ve sold something like 1,000 cups,” Lily said. “People are buying them for elderly relatives and people with mobility issues.”

As for Lily, doing business at such a young age helped her overcome her shyness. “Watching Lily blossom over this whole adventure has been an excitement for me as a dad,” Joe said. “I just can’t put into words how good it feels to see her have confidence.”

【1】What does the underlined word “prone” in Paragraph 2 mean?

A.unlike. B.eager. C.difficult. D.likely.

【2】Why did Lily ask her dad the question in Paragraph 3?

A.She wasn’t sure about her future career.

B.She was having trouble with her schoolwork.

C.She wasn’t confident about her cup business.

D.She was struggling to balance her life and hobbies.

【3】Which of the following words can best describe Joe?

A.Supportive and considerate. B.Traditional and scholarly.

C.Strict and single-minded. D.Generous and kind-hearted.

【4】What can we learn from Lily’s story?

A.Success is easily achieved through teamwork. B.It’s better to take action before it’s too late.

C.A good idea and action result in success. D.A youth is to be regarded with respect.
