26、s.Dr. Aaron Reeves of the University of Oxford found that UK parents did not see musical achievement by their children as character building or useful in getting university places or jobs. Instead, it was usually only those parents who played instruments that encouraged their children to follow suit

27、.This contrasted with research carried out by other academics in America, he said. “Middle-class parents in the US appear to associate cultural practice with other benefits, such as developing specific characteristics and paving the way for educational success. Middle-class families are often marked

28、 by a pattern of concerted cultivation, where parents organize music-centred activities for their children, often in addition to school-based musical practice.”Researchers had owed this to “parental anxiety over the declining fortunes of educated Americans. These parents have become increasingly wor

29、ried about providing their children with skills and abilities enabling them to stand out from their competitors in the job market.”By contrast, for British respondents, no such connection was made between what is considered as an overbearing parenting style and future educational or career possibili

30、ties. The parents interviewed here did not connect music with usefulness but rather they focused on the value of music as a family tradition and, to a lesser extent, as something valuable in its own right.One Scottish parent, a chemist by profession, said during the interviews, “Weve got two learnin

31、g musical instruments. If we think its maybe worthwhile we try and encourage them, but we wouldnt force them.” A housewife said, “My sons just turned five and I want him to do the guitar because his uncle does it, but its up to him.”In some UK families, said Dr. Reeves, music was even “believed to b

32、e an obstacle to educational success, or at least secondary to it.”28. What do British parents think of music learning?A. Useful for job application.B. Helpful for character building.C. Beneficial to further education.D. Worthwhile as a family tradition.29. What does the underlined word “this” in Pa

33、ragraph 4 refer to?A. Cultural practice.B. Educational success.C. Concerted cultivation.D. School-based musical practice.30. What can be inferred from the text?A.

35、unforgettable beauty to the Karoo, a vast semi-desert, that seems empty save for the stars overhead and sheep eating grass below. Economic opportunities here are few.But the Karoos clear skies also draw some of the worlds best scientists. A radio telescope project called the Square Kilometre Array (

36、SKA) is under construction, with the latest group of 64 giant antennae（天线）due to be completed late next year. When finished, it will be the biggest radio telescope in the world and should allow scientists to peer into the origins of the universe.Still, some sheep farmers are complaining. Because of

37、the sensitivity of the telescope, the surrounding area must be kept free from radio interference（干扰）caused by everything from mobile phones to microwave ovens and some car engines. The SKA is buying up more farms than originally expected to ensure radio silence over an area of some 130,000 hectares.

38、 There will be no mobile phone signals allowed, except in the few towns in the area. Save the Karoo, an advocacy group, isnt convinced by the bright future of groundbreaking astronomical discoveries. Its members fear the restrictions will make the Karoo “a cut-off and backward region”, and warn that

39、 people serving farms near the SKA site could face financial ruin. “I dont care about a black hole siting somewhere out in space,” says Eric Torr, an organiser with the group. “It does not put food on the table.”Sky-high expectations in this down-at-heel area are also a problem. An SKA official comp

40、lains that the locals expect the telescope to solve all their problems. Some jobs have been created, but few locals have the skills to find out the secrets of distant galaxies. Until recently the high school in Carnarvon, a nearby town, didnt even have a maths and science teacher. The SKA organisati

Perhaps if the next generations horizons are raised, they will be able to take advantage of the radio telescopes in their own backyard.32.

44、选项中有两项为多余选项。Each one of us has different natural and acquired abilities. Some learn new languages quickly, and some are more social than others. 36 Obviously, people interpret what youre saying in different ways, based on the way they think. 37 While looking to convince others, we rely on our own th

45、inking tools and strengths. It doesnt matter if youre trying to persuade your boss to adopt a new idea. But when you need to persuade your colleague, switch chairs with your listener and ask yourself what his or her strength is. Sure, you take into account whats important to them. 38 Try to fit some

To quickly identify if someone thinks better individually or in a group, I ask one simple question: Did you prefer studying by yourself or in a group in high school? Youll find out most people will answer

47、within a blink of an eye.Then how to communicate better after identifying individual or group thinking? 39 Individual thinkers need some time by themselves to digest a new idea. Therefore, try sending them suggestions by e-mail or introduce a new idea and then giving them some time to think about it. Group thinkers will react much better when talking about a new idea. 40 When group thinkers ask to talk about something, theyre actually asking you to brainstorm with them to help find a solution using conversation.A. Choose your presentation strategy.B. You can find out which category
