阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（a、b、c、d）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡将该项涂黑 a to 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 text about? a. how to become a good teacher. b. what a good teacher should do outside the classroom. c. what teachers and actors could learn from each other? d. the similarities (相似处) and differences between a teachers work and an actors.57. the word “audience” in the fourth paragraph means _. a. students b. people who watch a play c. people who not on the stage d. people who listen to something58. a good teacher _. a. knows how to hold the interest of his studentsb. must have a good voice c. knows how to act on the stage d. stands or sits still while teaching59. 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.60. 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 b the flying fox is not a fox at all. it is an extra large bat that has got a foxs head, and that feeds on fruit instead of insects like all bats, flying foxes hang themselves by their toes when at rest, and travel in great crowds when out flying. a group will live in one spot for years. sometimes several hundred of them occupy a single tree. as they return to the tree toward sunrise, they quarrel among themselves and fight for the best places until long after daylight. flying foxes have babies once a year, giving birth to only one at a time. at first the mother has to carry the baby on her breast wherever she goes. later she leaves it hanging up, and brings back food for it to eat. sometimes a baby bat falls down to the ground and squeaks for help. then the older ones swoop down and try to pick it up. if they fail to do so, it will die. often hundreds of dead baby bats can be found lying on the ground at the foot of a tree.61. the passage tells us that there is no difference between the flying fox and the ordinary bat in_. a. their size. b. their appearance. c. the kind of food they eat. d. the way they rest.62. flying foxes tend to _. a. double their number every year. b. fight and kill a lot of themselves. c. move

which is plagues that flesh receives. the most widespread fallacy of all is that colds caused by cold. they are not. they are caused by viruses passing on from person to person. you catch a cold by coming into contact, directly or indirectly, with someone who already has one. if cold causes colds, it would be reasonable to expect the eskimos to suffer from them forever. but they do not. and in isolated arctic regions explorers have reported being free from colds until coming into contact again with infected people from the outside world by way of packages and mail dropped from airplanes. during the first world war soldiers who spent long periods in the trenches, cold and wet, showed no increased tendency to catch colds. in the second world war prisoners at the notorious auschwitz concentration camp, naked and starving, were astonished to find that they seldom had colds. at the common cold research unit in england, volunteers took part in experiments in which they gave themselves to the discomforts of being cold and wet for long stretches of time. after taking hot baths, they put on bathing suits, allowed themselves to be with cold water, and then stood about dripping wet in drafty room. some wore wet socks all day while others exercised in the rain until close to exhaustion. not one of the volunteers came down with a cold unless a cold virus was actually dropped in his nose. if, then, cold and wet have nothing to do with catching colds, why are they more frequent in the winter？despite the most pains-taking research, no one has yet found the answer. one explanation offered by scientists is that people tend to stay together indoors more in cold weather than at other times, and this makes it easier for cold viruses to be passed on. no one has yet found a cure for the cold. there are drugs and pain suppressors such as aspirin, but all they do is relieve the symptoms.71. the writer offered _ examples to support his argument. a. 4 b. 5 c. 6 d. 3 72. which of the following does not agree with the chosen passage？a. the eskimos do not suffer from colds all the time. b. colds are not caused by cold. c. people suffer from colds just because they like to stay indoors. d. a person may catch a cold by touching someone who already has one. 73. arctic explorers may catch colds when _. a. they are working in the isolated arctic regions b. they are writing reports in terribly cold weather c. they are free from work in the isolated arctic regions d. they are coming into touch again with the outside world 74. volunteers taking part in the experiments in the common cold research unit _. a. suffered a lotb. never caught colds c. often caught coldsd. became very strong 75. the passage mainly discusses _. a. the experiments on the common cold b. the fallacy about the common cold c. the reason and the way people catch colds d. the continued spread of common colds第二卷 非选择题 （满分45分）第四部分
