Instead, it was usually only those parents who played instruments that encouraged their children to follow suit.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 by a pattern of concerted cultivation, where parents organize music-centered 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 bee increasingly worried about providing their children with skills and abilities enabling them to stand out from their petitors 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 possibilities. 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 learning musical instruments. If we think its 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 be an obstacle to educational success, or at least secondary to it.”32.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.33.What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 4 refer to?A. Cultural practice.B. Educational success. C. Concerted cultivation.D. School-based musical practice.34.What can be inferred from the text?A. The future of American kids is not promising.B. American parents hardly link music with success.C. Music learning is a personal choice for British kids.D. British parents show little concern about education.35.What is the text mainly about?A. Reasons for British music preference.B. British and American parenting styles in music education.C. Americans attitude towards music learning.D. Differences between British and American parents.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。（注意：在涂卡时，E涂为AB，F涂为AC，G涂为AD）Try to Remember What You ReadIt is agreed that reading play an important part in peoples life. 36 Memory is sometimes a tricky thing.
