28、In a study published in The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, Diana Deutsch of the University of California and her co-authors find that musicians who speak an East Asian tone language fluently are much more likely to have perfect pitch(音高).
Unlike English, many East Asian languages, such as Mandarin, Cantonese and Vietnamese, are “tonal”, so that a word’s meaning often depends on the tone in which it is said. So learning perfect pitch is, for fluent speakers of a tone language, similar to learning a second tone language.
The study looked at 203 students at the University of Southern California’s Thornton School of Music through a test. The students listened to the 36 notes. They attempted to identify the notes, and they self-reported their musical, ethnic and linguistic backgrounds — including whether they were very fluent in an East Asian tone language, fairly fluent or not at all fluent. Deutsch and her colleagues found that students who spoke an East Asian tone language very fluently scored nearly 100 percent on the test, and that students who were only fairly fluent in a tone language scored lower overall. Those students who were not at all fluent in speaking a tone language scored the worst on average.
Deutsch acknowledges that it still remains to be discovered why and how it is that some speakers of non-tone languages have perfect pitch. She expects it to be related to either an exceptionally long “critical window” for language acquisition, a very early musical upbringing, or both.
“Perfect pitch for years seemed like a beautiful gift — given only to a few genetically talented people. But our research suggests that it might be available to virtually everybody,” Deutsch said. She also proposed that parents who want their kids to acquire perfect pitch should expose them to musical tones from infancy onwards.
【1】What makes East Asian language speakers have perfect pitch?
A．Their tonal language.
B．Their various dialect.
C．Their musical talent.
D．Their large vocabulary.
【2】Who performed best in the test according to paragraph 3?
A．Students from Asia.
B．Students from America.
C．Students who speak English quite fluently.
D．Students who speak a tone language very fluently.
【3】What is the purpose of paragraph 4?
A．To summarize the paragraphs above.
B．To provide some advice for readers.
C．To add some background information.
D．To introduce the main idea of the text.
【4】How can people develop perfect pitch according to Deutsch?
A．By practicing communication skills.
B．By developing an interest in writing songs.
C．By acquiring as many languages as possible.
D．By receiving musical education from childhood.
29、Changing to electric vehicles makes sense. Now it can make cents, too. France on Wednesday announced a program to get high gas consumption old cars off the road by offering a grant（补助金）to buy an electric bike.
A French driver can get $2,991 towards a new e-bike. The grant is high enough to buy a quality e-bike. To receive the grant, the driver has to ensure their old car to be taken off the road and scrapped(报废). Replacing the highly inefficient gas-powered vehicles will help France meet its the Paris Agreement goals to keep global warming below 2℃. In 2018, 200countries-including France-agreed to the Paris Rulebook that details the way countries can relieve climate change and this includes limiting greenhouse gas emission(排放). Other benefit to the programme is to get cars off crowded roads. After all, e-bikes take up far less room. And cleaner air due to fewer pollutants is also a big plus.
A similar program was introduced in Norway. The project for the old car was actually spearheaded by the country’s government. Drivers applied to receive a grant for up to $1,200 to buy a bicycle, e-bike, e-motorcycle, or even public transportation credits for turning in their old vehicles. More than 8,500 people applied for the grant. Finland also has a similar grant, which is used to help fund more than 1,000 low emission cars,2,000 e-bikes, and 200public transportation tickets. “For the first time it is recognized that the solution is not to make cars greener, but simply to reduce their number, ” Olivier Schneider of the French Federation of Bicycle Users said.
Since the French grant is more than twice the amount of the Finnish and Norwegian ones, it should be more successful. Getting a large number of high gas consumption off the road will go a long way in helping to reduce emissions, road crowdedness, and less pollution in the air.
【1】Why does France give drivers a grant to buy electric bikes?
A．To help repair old cars.
B．To help electric bike sellers.
C．To make the economy better.
D．To protect the environment.
【2】What can we know from the second paragraph?
A．Electric bikes are popular with the French.
B．Preventing global warming is difficult to achieve.
C．The French programme is not more costly than Norway.
D．France has announced the conditions of getting the grant.
【3】Which of the following can replace the underlined word “spearheaded” in paragraph 3?
A．corrected
B．added
C．led
D．discussed
【4】What can we infer about the author from the text?
A．He is a news reporter.
B．He is a novel writer.
C．He is an e-bike buyer.
D．He is a French driver.
