三.阅读理解(20小题,每题2分,共40分)
A
To me，life without music would not be exciting.I realize that this is not true for everybody.Many people get along quite well without going to the concert，and listening to the record. But music plays an important part in everyone’s life，whether he realizes it or not.Try to imagine，for example，what films or TV plays would be like without music.Would the feelings，the moving plot，and the greatest interests，be so interesting or dramatic? I’m not sure about it.
Now we have been speaking of music in its more common meaning—the kind of music we hear in the concert hall.We discover them in our everyday life too—in the rhythm of the sea，the melody of a bird in the woods and so on.So music surely has meaning for everyone，in some way or other.
And，of course，it has special meaning for those who have spent all their lives working on playing or writing music.
It is well said，“Through music a child enters a world of beauty，expresses himself from his heart，feels the joy of doing things alone，learns to take care of others，develops his mind and makes his body strong.”
51.From the text，we learn that many people_____.
A. don’t realize the importance of music
B.get along quite well without music
C.go to the concert instead of enjoying music
D.think music would be less exciting than moving plot
52. In the writer’s opinion，if there was no music in the films or TV plays，_______.
A.the cinema and theatre would be quiet
B.we would lose some of the audience
C.everything would be as exciting as before
D.it would be hard to imagine the result
53. The underlined word “melody” in the second paragraph means “______”.
A.flying
B.looking
C.singing
D.living
B
Have you ever noticed what happens to an idea once you express it？Just talking about it or writing it down causes you to make it clear in your own mind. How can you use this to increase your brain power？Start writing.
By putting thoughts into words，you are telling yourself the logic behind what you think，feel，or only partly understand. Often，explaining a thought is the process of understanding. In other words，you increase your brain power by exercising your “explain power”.
Another benefit of writing is that it helps you remember. Many，if not most，highly productive people are always taking notes. You can try keeping it all in your head，but if you keep a journal(日志)of your ideas the next time you’re working on a big project，you’ll probably have more success.
Want to understand a topic？Write a book about it. That’s an extreme example，but if you are learning something new，write a letter to a friend about it，and you will understand it better. Want to invent something？Write an explanation of the problem—why you want to solve it，and why it is worth solving，and you’re halfway there.
Writers don’t always write because they clearly understand something beforehand. Often，they write about something because they want to understand it. You can do the same. Writing will help bring you to an understanding. Give it a try.
54.What would be the best title for the passage?
A.A Way on How to Write
B.Increase Your Brain Power Through Writing
C.Brain Power Helps Improve Your Writing
D.How to Start Your Writing
55.According to the passage，writing can help you a lot except________.
A.to increase your brain power
B.to improve the ability to remember
C.to develop your interest in study
D.to strengthen the understanding of a topic
56.If a writer writes something，it means that he or she________.
A.has understood it very well
B.needs to understand it better
C.wants to remember it in his or her mind
D.is testing his or her new ideas
57.The underlined sentence“you’re halfway there”in the fourth paragraph means that________.
A.you are already successful
B.there’s a long way for you to go to reach your goal
C.you are left wondering what to do
D.you have been on the way to success

Getting your children to study can be a little like getting them to eat their vegetables.
66
Make a study time and have it at the same time every day. This will help your kids to learn to schedule their day and will give them a sense of control over how they spend their time.
Allow them to study in blocks of time, such as for half an hour with a five-minute break in the middle.
67
Ideal study times are after dinner or right after school before dinner.
Never allow your children to study in front of the television, as that will encourage passive activity.
68
You’ll also need to help your kids find the right place to study. After you’ve set up a good study time for little learners, set up a good place where they can get those creative juices flowing.
70
This includes helping them out with their homework sometimes and being there for them with the answers to any questions. The input you give your children during study periods will help form a bond and help make studying enjoyable.
A. Pick a place where your children can study properly.
B. Hold them to the schedule they create for themselves.
