第二部分：阅读理解（第一节20小题，第二节5小题；每小题2分，满分50分）
第一节：阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题纸上将该选项标号涂黑。
A
The ancient Greek philosopher Plato said , “Music is a moral law． It gives soul to the universe, wings to the mind ,flight to the imagination, and charm and joy to life and to everything．”
This is one of Don Spencer’s favorite mottos that he firmly believes． For the former Play School presenter and founder of the Australian Children’s Music Foundation, this motto forms the basis of the message he is trying to put across—that music should be a necessary part of a child’s education．
"We know that music brings joy and comfort, and makes us feel happy," Spencer says． "But research has also discovered music plays a powerful role in the mental development of children． Music inspires creativity, imagination and self-expression． It also builds self-respect and is good for memory skills． "
The power of music
Much research supports both Spencer and Plato． A Stanford University study found that musical training improves the way the brain processes the spoken word． It showed that musical experience can help the brain improve its ability to distinguish between rapidly changing sounds, a key skill in understanding and using language．
Research from Canada found that children aged four to six years old who had music lessons had better memories, as well as higher ability to read and write and maths levels．
Another study, from the US, showed that children aged five to seven years who had been falling behind in their school performance caught up with those who are of the same age in reading, and were ahead of them in maths, after just seven months of music lessons．
Not in the curriculum （课程）
Research shows it's not that smart kids play music; it's that music makes kids smarter． It supports Spencer's call for music to be a standard part of the school curriculum, like English and maths．
" Music is everywhere, but not at 75 per cent of public schools around Australia who don't have a devoted music teacher," Spencer says． "It's sad that many children don't have access to formal musical education, particularly when it has such an effect on a child's development． "
It's up to parents
Involving our children in music doesn't have to be expensive． And many parents give their kids musical exposure subliminally （下意识地） , be it through singing, the radio or stereo． But parents can take it to the next level by talking about music and exposing kids to different styles．
For many older children, music is part of their culture and while parents don't have to like it, they can still engage their kids in conversation about it．
Ideally, Spencer would like every child to learn an instrument． " Kids can access cheap instruments like a ukulele, recorder or harmonica," Spencer says． He says the Internet has a lot of free videos which teach you how to play instruments．
"I can't stress enough how important music is," he says． "It builds relationships, unites people and, most importantly, it is fun． "
41． Plato's words are mentioned at the beginning of the text to show that ______．
A． music has magic power B． everything is related to music
C． Don Spencer admires Plato D． music was important in ancient time
42． Which of the following is the main point Don Spencer states in the passage?
A． Music is important to a child's mental health．
B． Music is important to a child's education．
C． Music can improve one's skills in communication．
D． Music can help people to distinguish different sounds．
43． From the different researches mentioned in the passage, we can learn ______．
A． music can make children smarter
B． children aged four to six have better memories
C． there are no professional music teachers in Australia
D． music is a standard part of the school curriculum in most schools
44． It can be inferred from the last four paragraphs that ______．
A． parents always expose their children to different music
B． parents cannot talk about music with their older children
C． musical instruments are often expensive and not available
D． people can have easy access to a certain kind of musical instrument
45． What might be the best title for the passage?
A． When Music Is Taught B． Why Music Matters
C． What We Learn from Music D． How Children Learn Music

This site , all-birds. com , is about bird watching. Enjoy your browsing. There is much to learn and see.
Bird Watching Equipment
Some items that might make bird watching more enjoyable are binoculars （ 双目望远镜） , a camera, some kind of system for keeping notes, and maybe a back pack． Birders often keep lists of the birds they see along with notes about the habits． There is some great bird log software that will let you keep records on your computer． For more details on choosing binoculars see our Binocular -Optics page．
Clothes
If you are walking through a wooded area just wear clothes you would wear on any hike or field trip． You are best off wearing clothes with dull colors that mix into the background． Greens, browns, and grays are good． Avoid fabrics that rustle（沙沙响） easily． Depending on the birds you are watching you may want to get rain gear, rubber boots and warm clothing． For birds such as owls that you might look for in the evening a strong flashlight is also handy．
Choosing a Bird Field Guide
Take a good field guide to identify birds． Look for clear color pictures that make it easy to recognize one bird from another． Next to each picture should be detailed descriptions of each bird's anatomy, habits, and what it eats． The guide should have information about what habitat each species uses． Many guides have maps showing the range of different birds along with their migration patterns．
Where and When to see Birds
Learning the habitats of birds in your area will increase the number of birds you see, and make your birding more enjoyable． If you know that Meadow larks are likely to be in open grassy areas, and dippers are forage along stream beds, you may be looking for them if you are in those types of habitats． Edge areas where different types of habitats meet will likely have more species in them． You are more likely to see specific birds at certain times of the day． For example songbirds are easier to see two to three hours after dawn, or just before sunset． This is when songbirds are most actively feeding． Many small birds will be silent or even hidden during the rest of the day． After sunup is the best time to see eagles and hawks． Visibility is best for hunting at this time, and they can soar on the thermal currents from the warmed air． Birds like owls are more likely to be seen in the evening． Many shorebirds and waders rest at high tide and feed when the water rises or falls．
Photographing Birds
☆Patience in Bird Photography
Most birds are afraid of people, and all species have their own comfort zone． With a little time you can learn the comfort zone of the birds you are photographing． Once they know that you are not a threat you may be able to get closer．
☆ Type or Style
Your reason for photographing birds may determine your style and the kind of equipment you use． If you are just recording the kinds of birds you see you don't need to get as close, and you can use less expensive equipment, then you need for high quality prints.
☆ Photographing Birds in Flight
Photographing birds in flight can be fun． Many digital cameras have a tracking function． With these you focus on the bird, and then as you track it the lens will keep focus．
☆ Use Your Yard
Choose an open area where the birds will get direct sunlight, showing off their magnificent colors．
☆Try using props
Birds will often land on a stick or post near a seed feeder before going to the feeder． The background was just an out of focus fence but you can use anything you want for a background, and then wait for a bird to perch.

46． The main purpose of the passage is to .
A． attract more people to photograph birds
B． call on people to set some comfort zones for birds
C． help birders learn how to identify and understand birds
D．inform birders of the results of a scientific research on birds
47． Clothes in are highly recommended when y
