阅读理解（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（a、b、c和d）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 ato be a good teacher, you need some of the gifts of a good actor; you must be able to hold the attention and interest of your audience; you must be a clear speaker, with a good, strong, pleasing voice which is fully under your control; and you must be able to act what you are teaching, in order to make its meaning clear.watch a good teacher, and you will see that he does not sit still before his class: he stands the whole time he is teaching; he walks about, using his arms, hands and fingers to help him in his explanations, and his face to express feelings. listen to him, and you will hear the loudness, the quality and the musical note of his voice always changing according to what he is talking about.the fact that a good teacher has some of the gifts of a good actor doesnt mean that he will indeed be able to act well on the stage, for there are very important differences between the teachers work and the actors. the actor has to speak words which he has learnt by heart; he has to repeat exactly the same words each time he plays a certain part, even his movements and the ways in which he uses his voice are usually fixed beforehand. what he has to do is to make all these carefully learnt words and actions seem natural on the stage.a good teacher works in quite a different way. his audience takes an active part in his play：they ask and answer questions, they obey orders, and if they dont understand something, they say so. the teacher therefore has to meet the needs of his audience, which is his class. he cannot learn his part by heart, but must invent it as he goes along.i have known many teachers who were fine actors in class but were unable to take part in a stage-play because they could not keep strictly to what another had written.56. what is the passage mainly about?a. the characteristics of a good teacher. b. the characteristics of a good actor.c. how to be a good teacher or a good actor d. the differences between a teachers work and an actors.57. a good teacher _.a. knows how to hold the interest of his students b. must have a good voicec. knows how to act on the stage d. stands or sits still while teaching58. in what way is a teachers work different from an actors?a. the teacher must learn everything by heart. b. he knows how to control his voice better than an actor. c. he has to deal with unexpected situations. d. he has to use more facial expressions.59. the main difference between students in class and a theatre audience is that _a. students can move around in the classroom b. students must keep silent while theatre audience neednt c. no memory work is needed for the students d. the students must take part in their teachers plays bfive years ago, david smith wore an expensive suit to work every day. “i was a clothes addict,” he jokes. “i used to carry a fresh suit to work with me so i could change if my clothes got wrinkled(皱的).” today david wears casual(非正式的) clothes khaki pants and a sports shirt to the office. he hardly ever wears a necktie. “im working harder than ever,” david says, “and i need to feel comfortable.”more and more companies are allowing their office workers to wear casual clothes to work. in the united states, the changes from formal to casual office wear have been gradual. in the early 1990s, many companies allowed their workers to wear casual clothes on friday (but only on friday). this became known as “dress-down friday” or “casual friday”. “what started out as an extra one-day-a-week benefit for workers has really become an everyday thing,” said business adviser maisly jones.why have so many companies started allowing their workers to wear casual clothes? one reason is that its easier for a company to attract new workers if it has a casual dress code. “a lot of young people dont want to dress up for work,” says the owner of a software company, “so its hard to hire people if you have a conservative（传统的）dress code.” another reason is that people seem happier and more productive when they are wearing comfortable clothes. in a study made by levi strauss and company, 85 percent of employers said that they believe that casual dress improves employee morale（士气）. only 4 percent of employers said that casual dress has a negative effect on productivity. supporters of casual office wear also say that a casual dress code helps them save money. “suits are expensive, if you have to wear one every day,” one person said. “for the same amount of money, you can buy a lot more casual clothes.”60. david smith refers to himself as having been “a clothes addict,” because_.a. he often wore khaki pants and a sports shirtb. he couldnt stand a clean appearance c. he wanted his clothes to

to wear formally even at weekend 20 years ago.b. dress-down has become an everyday phenomenon since the early 1990s.c. “dress-down friday” was first given as a favor from employers.d. many workers want to wear casual clothes to impress people.63. in this passage, the following advantages of casual office wear are mentioned except _.a. saving employees money b. making employees more attractivec.

he does not become very rich, he wants people to think that he is. that is what “keeping up with the joneses” is about. it is the story of someone who tried to look as rich as his neighbours. the expression was first used in 1913 by a young american called arthur momand. he told this story about himself. he began earning $ 125 a week at the age of 23. that was a lot of money in those days. he

people had servants, momand and his wife also hired a servant and gave big parties for their new neighbours.it was like a race, but one could never finish his race because one was always trying to keep up. the race ended for momand and his wife when they could no longer pay for their new way of life. they moved back to an apartment in new york momand looked around him and noticed that many people do things just to keep up with rich lifestyle of their neighbours. he saw the funny side of it and started to write a series of short stories. he called it “keeping up with the joneses” because “jones” is a very common name in the united states. “keeping up with the joneses” came to mean keeping up with rich lifestyle of the people around you. momands series appeared in different newspapers across the country for over 28 years.people never seem to get tired of keeping up with the joneses. and there are “jonses” in every city of the world. but one must get tired of trying to keep up with
