“Where is the light " My dad used to ask me that when I was little. It’s one of those questions that parents use to find out how smart their young children are. During my teenage years, my dad jokingly told me that he thought I was going to be dim-witted because I pointed at him whenever he asked me where the light was.
Dad is from a rural area about 230 kilometers north of the capital Manila, and where most people live off the land, raising and selling livestock and poultry. His father, an artist and street magician, died when he was very young. To make ends meet, his mother went about town and washed laundry in various households. My dad found himself alone-lack of nurturing and love, short of family bonds.
Dad loved reading and always looked for opportunities to educate himself. One day, when my father was 16 and out of work, a pastor saw him sitting under a tree absorbed in a book. He approached Dad and asked him why he wasn’t in school. Dad replied that he had no money for college. The pastor saw his desire to study and recommended him to University of the Cordilleras as a working student. He also gave Dad a job at a local church. Thanks to the pastor, Dad got his Bachelor of Arts degree, then went on to study law and became a successful lawyer. He wrote a widely read textbook on Philippine law.
Looking at my father now, I can see how he was able to overcome so many obstacles. He is by nature a hardworking man, pouring his energy into his career without forgetting his family. He values education—when we were younger, he would tell me and my brother to constantly seek improvement in ourselves through learning.
Like a light, he shines with dignity and respect because of his achievements, but his light radiates the brightest for maintaining our family as a cohesive unit with love and faith as its foundation.
There are times when my dad kids around and asks me, using my childhood nickname, “ Sasi, where’s the light "
I just smile, and point at him.
41. What jokes did Dad play on the writer
A. He considered her a little foolish.
B. He treated himself as the light.
C. He turned the light on to be dim for her.
D. He asked her to answer many difficult questions.
42. It can be inferred from the second paragraph that____.
A. Dad got along well with his sisters.
B. Dad didn’t have a happy childhood.
C. Dad was particular about his clothes.
D. Dad used to wander in the market.
43. How did Dad finish his college education
A. He won a scholarship by studying hard.
B. He got financial support from a pastor.
C. He paid his fees by doing a part-time job.
D. He earned money by writing books on law.
44. In the eyes of the writer, her dad_____.
A. taught his children by himself at home
B. worked too hard to forget the family
C. chose careers for his children
D. acted as the light in their life
45. Why did the writer write this passage
A. To praise her dad for his effort to success.
B. To recall a question asked by her dad.
C. To stress the importance of the light.
D. To introduce the benefit of a close family.

Amy Chua is the author of “Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother." In the book, Chua, also a professor at Yale Law School, states her child-bringing-up method learned from her parents moving here from China years ago: no sleepovers, no television, no grades lower than an A.
"We guessed her book would cause much disagreement," Wang Feifei, editor at CITIC Publishing House, told the reporter. “We don’t take it as a traditional parenting book, largely because it involves cross-cultural conflict.” The book has been available online since Mid-January and ranked No.80 in sales on , a Chinese version of Amazon. It is to receive wider distribution(发行) at bookstores after the Feb.3 Chinese New Year holiday.
The book has struck a nerve with Americans, especially American mothers. An article published earlier this month in the Wall Street Journal, called Why Chinese Mothers are Better, lit a strong reaction (the article now has close to 8,000 comments and most of them are critical, many of them completely unfriendly).
And that’s just what she did on Tuesday night's show “The Colbert Report.” The host Stephen Colbert put Chua on the spot. “People have accused you of saying that the Chinese way of raising a child is better to what Western mothers do. True or false ”he asked. “Uh… false," Chua replied, her voice uncertain. Colbert seized the opportunity to point out Chua’s inconsistency (不一致). “So you raised your children in a worse way ” Chua made a set of defensive talking points, some of them more convincing than others. Her arguments in defense of strict parenting were “I think if you give a 5-or 8-year-old free choice, I think that’s going to be video games.” Chua thinks that anyone can be what she calls a “Chinese Mother”; all you have to do is to demand hard work, determination and discipline from your children. "I think they are fundamental American values."
46. What is Amy Chua’s method of bringing up her children like according to the passage
A. Very open.
B. Very loose.
C. Completely scientific.
D. Very strict.
47. What can we infer from the second paragraph
A. The book is on sale since mid-January.
B. In February more people will buy the book,
C. The book is a traditional parenting book.
D. is a Chinese version of Amazon.
48. From the third paragraph, we will know______.
A. American mothers admire Chinese Mothers
B. Chinese mothers are better than American mothers
C. many Americans dislike Tiger mother’s method
D. American parenting is completely different from Tiger mother’s
49. What does the underlined word "they” mean in the last paragraph
A. American values.
B. Free choices for children.
C. Hard work, determination and discipline.
D. Parenting methods.
50. How did Chua defend herself when questioned by Stephen Colbert
A. Explaining her parenting methods with American values.
B. Taking two children’s stories for example.
C. Talking about her own experience in raising children.
D. Proving disadvantages of video games to children.
D
Some hearing loss is a common—and nearly unavoidable—effect of aging. A third of people aged 60 and older have lost some of their ability to hear.
But some research suggests a habit that might help offset the effect of aging on hearing. A study found that among middle-aged adults, being a lifelong musician was connected with better hearing later in life.
"The instrument you play does not seem to be important here," says Nina Kraus, a biologist. “It is really the act of engagement playing the instrument that matters."
Participants in the study were between ages 45 and 65. Researchers tested 18 musicians who had been playing an instrument since age nine or younger, and 19 non-musicians who had less than three years of music training. The musicians had statistically better auditory memory scores and tested better at hearing speech in noisy environments. They also showed better auditory processing abilities, which relate to how people interpret speech sounds.
However, the two groups tied when researchers tested visual working memory skills. “It isn’t as though musical training has a volume knob effect that makes all kinds of sensory processing enhanced in the same manner," Kraus says. “It focuses on auditory skill."
The latest findings follow earlier research from Kraus that showed musician in a younger age group had better hearing skills. At the same time, some research has shown that musicians who play in large ensembles(合奏) may face an occupational risk when it comes to their hearing.
Does this effect apply to the guy who plays in a community band one night a week Kraus says no. To be included in the study, musicians were required to have engaged in musical activities—practicing, teaching or performing—at least three times a week.
"What we do with our time and how we engage our senses and our thinking seems to really shape the people we become in very basic ways—in ways that affect how our series work," she says.
And, Kraus says, a person doesn’t need to be an Itzhak Perlman or a Yo-Yo Ma to experience the effects. Talent, she says, isn’t a factor.
Kraus says that more research needs to be done to see whether receiving music instruction later in life might have the same benefits.
51. Your hearing will be improved by_____.
A. what kind of instrument you play
B. what sort of music you play
C. whether you involve yourself with playing the instrument
D. how long you have learned music playing
52. A musician is not better than others in______..
A. getting better auditory memory scored
B. hearing speech in noisy environments
C. interpreting speech sounds
D. processing visual work memory
53. The underlined phrase “an occupational risk” may refer to____.
A. the danger of hearing loss
B. the possibility of losing a job
C. the trouble of playing music
D. the harm of hearing skills
54. It can be inferred Perlman and Yo-Yo Ma are the names of__.
A. instruments B. musicians C. songs D. music
55. The main idea of the text is about____.
A. enjoying music will do good to your health
B. learning music may promote your hearing skills
C. playing an instrument may help preserve hearing
D. listening to music can prevent you from aging

第一节阅读表达(共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分)
阅读下面短文,并根据短文内容完成下列各题。
[1| After an exhausting swim practice on a cold winter evening, I received an invitation from my friend Lucy, asking me to attend a dance. At the top of the invitation, Young Angels was written across the page. Young Angels was organizing a dance to raise money for community service projects. I thought it was such a great idea that I not only wanted to attend it, but also wanted to become involved.
[2]This was over two years ago and since then, I have become a lead member in Young Angels of America. At each dance, teens not only have fun with their friends but are also informed about different charities. Knowing that I have taught others how they can get involved makes me feel satisfied and delighted.
[3]The most memorable experience of my time in Young Angels was the Middle School Winter Dance in 2007, when we had a special child help organize the dance and participate in the event. This child was Lily. Lily had a dreadful disease that will eventually kill her. Lily had the best attitude towards life: she enjoyed every moment and made the best of it. Lily got me inspired to help others and never take any moment for granted.
[4] I now have a dream, I want to inspire as many children as possible to volunteer. So many kids don’t realize how easy it is to make a difference to the world. I am only 15 years old and I have organized over five events, getting nearly 1,000 children involved. I want to be the angel to inspire that passion in others to make the difference that I feel as I have made to my community.
56. What's the purpose of the dance organized by Young Angels (no more than 8 words)
57. How did the author feel about her influence on others (no more than 6 words)
