It was a rainy morning with low clouds and as I approached the driving school at 9: 50 a. m. my heart sank. My driving instructor, Stan, said something, trying to drive away my fears, but I was not impressed. We set off for the test centre with an hour to go. I wanted a run round the test circuit, but we got stuck in a traffic jam, and could only creep forward. We arrived at the test centre at 11 a. m. Stan made me watch a group of six learners emerging from the building with their respective (各自的) examiners. Their instructors were peering out from two windows. We watched them drive off. They must have been feeling very nervous. Stan took me round the probable test circuit, pointing out the traps. The weather became even gloomier. It seemed to deaden my nerves. I had developed a couldnt-care-less mood, and was almost calm. We returned to the test centre in time to see the six unfortunates returning. Their nerves must have been in a terrible state. I sat in the waiting room until six examiners came in to call out our respective names. Mine showed no emotion as he asked me to go to my car.

Acting is such an over-crowded profession that the only advice that should be given to a young person thinking of going on the stage is Dont! But it is useless to try to discourage someone who feels that he must act, although the chances of his becoming famous are small. The normal way to begin is to go to a drama school. Usually only students who show promise and talent are accepted, and the course lasts two years. Then the young actor or actress takes up work with a repertory company, usually as an assistant stage manager. This means doing everything that there is to do in the theatre: painting scenery, looking after the furniture, publicity, taking care of the costumes, and even acting in very small parts. It is very hard work indeed, the hours are long and the salary is tiny. But young actors with the stage in their blood are happy, waiting for the chance of work with a better company, or perhaps in films or television. Of course, some people have remarkable chances which lead to fame and success without this long and tedious training. Connie Pratt, for example, was just an ordinary girl working in a bicycle factory. A film producer happened to catch sight of her one morning waiting at a bus stop, as he drove past in his big car. He told the chauffeur to stop, and he got out to speak to the girl. He asked her if she would like to go to the film studio to do a test, and at first she thought he was joking. Then she got angry and said she would call the police. It took t he producer twenty minutes to convince Connie that he was serious. Then an appointment was made for her to go to the studio the next day. The test was successful. They gave her elocution lessons and within a few weeks she was playing the leading part opposite one of the most famous actors of the day. Of course, she was given a more dramatic name, which is now world-famous. But chances like this happen once in a blue moon!26. The reason why young people should be discouraged from becoming actors is that _. A) actors are very determined people B) the course at the drama school lasts two years C) acting is very hard work D) there are already too many actors27. Why is an assistant stage managers job difficult? A) Because he has to do everything. B) Because he has to work long hours every day. C) Because he will not be happy. D) Because he has to wait for another chance.28. Usually only students who _ are accepted. A) have received good education B) are hard-working C) are talented and promising D) are good-mannered29. Then she got angry and said she would call the police. This sentence shows that _. A) She totally disbelieved the proposal B) The man acted with an ill purpose C) The man forced her into his big car D) She was a nervous woman30. The phrase once in a blue moon refers to _. A) once in a full moon B) once for a while C) once for a long time D) once and for allPassage ThreeQuestions 3135 are based on the following passage.Sleep is part of your daily activity cycle, but there are several different types or stages of sleep, and they too occur in cycles. If you are an average sleeper, your sleep cycle will go something like this: When you first drift off into sleep your eyes will roll about a bit, your temperature will drop slightly, your muscles will relax, and your breathing will slow and become quite regular. Your brain waves slow down a bit too. This is called Stage 1 sleep. For the next half hour or so, as you relax more and more, you will drift down through Stage 2 and Stage 3 sleep. The lower your stage of sleep, the slower your brain waves will be. Then, about 40-60 minutes after you lose consciousness, you will have reached the deepest sleep of all. Your brain waves will show the delta rhythm. This is Stage 4 sleep. You may think that you stay at this deep fourth stage all the rest of the night, but that turns out not to be the case. Instead, about 80 minutes after you fall into sleep your activity cycle will increase slightly. The delta rhythm will disappear, to be replaced by the activity pattern of brain waves. Your eyes will begin to move around under your closed eyelids as if you were looking at something occurring in front of you. This period of Rapid Eye Movements lasts for some 8-15 minutes and is called REM sleep. During both light and deep sleep, the muscles in your body are relaxed but capable of movement. However, as you slip into REM sleep, a very odd thing occurs - most of the voluntary muscles in your body become paralyzed. Although your brain shows very rapid bursts of neural activity during REM sleep, your body is incapable of moving.31. The lower the stage of sleep, _. A) the greater the alpha waves will be B) the greater the activity pattern of the brain C) the slower the brain waves will appear D) the closer one is to the initial Stage 1 sleep32. Before one reaches the deepest sleep, _. A) muscular inhibition occurs B) loss of consciousness has already occurred C) ones body muscles become paralyzed D) ones eyes begin to move as if looking at something33. REM sleep is characterized by _. A) a lack of body movement B) a drop in temperature C) the appearance of delta waves D) a loss of consciousness34. Muscular relaxation, a temperature drop, and breath regularity are characteristics of _. A) Stages 2 and 3 sleep B) REM sleep C) delta rhythms D) Stage 1 sleep35. An increase in the activity cycle indicates _. A) one is waking up B) the beginning of the Rapid Eye Movement stage C) a relaxing of body muscles D) an increase in the bodys rhythmPart III Cloze (每小题0.5分，本大题共10分)Directions: In this part, you will read a passage with some blanks.
