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
