16、 and D.

17、t what you are teaching, in order to make its meaning clear. The fact that a good teacher has some of the gifts of an 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 actors. The actor has to speak words wh
18、ich 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 before hand. What he has to do is to make all these carefully learnt words and actions seem natural on the stage. A good
19、 teacher works in quite a different way. His audience takes an active part in his play; they ask and answer question; they obey orders, and if they dont understand something, they say so. The teacher therefore has to suit his act to the needs of his audience, which is his class. He cannot learn his
20、part by heart, but must invent it as he goes along. 36 The word “gifts“ in Line 1 means _. （ A） presents （ B） cleverness （ C） something that belongs to a good actor （ D） the way a teacher should act in class 37 In what way is a teachers work different from an actors? （ A） The teacher must learn ever
21、ything by heart. （ B） He knows to control his voice better than an actor. （ C） He has to deal with unexpected situations. （ D） He has to use more facial expressions. 38 Which of the following is TRUE? （ A） A teachers voice must be nicer than an actor. （ B） A teacher cannot decide beforehand what exa
22、ctly he is going to say in class. （ C） A teacher must have better memory than an actor. （ D） A teacher has to learn by heart what exactly he is going to say in class. 39 There are some similarities between teachers and actors EXCEPF _. （ A） a good, strong and pleasing voice （ B） the ability to hold
23、the attention of listeners （ C） you must be a clever speaker （ D） the ability to control unexpected situation 40 According to the passage, which is the best title? （ A） Teachers and Actors. （ B） How to Become a Good Teacher. （ C） A Good Teacher. （ D） How to Become a Good Actor. Task 2 Directions: Th
24、is task is the same as Task 1. The 5 questions or unfinished statements are numbered 41 through 45. 41 This ability to see words on either side of the point at which your eyes focus is called peripheral (周围的 ) vision. Foreign students of English often feel that it is impossible to recognize so many
25、words at a single glance. It is difficult for many native speakers, but it can be done. It is something that has to be done if you are to read as rapidly as you should. You can increase your peripheral vision by eye exercises. Equally important is the importance of moving your eyes from point to poi
26、nt in a uniform rhythm (以不变的节奏 ). Slow reading often results from regression (退回 ), the number of times your eyes have to go back. While practicing to increase your peripheral vision and uniform rhythm, you may occasionally have to go back to reread. Do not be discouraged. A smooth, forward rhythm c
27、omes with practice. Eventually your speed will get to the point where your eyes move comfortably forward without regression. A final cause of slow reading is forming the sound of each word, even though you might not speak them aloud. The average American speaks English at 180 to 200 words a minute.
28、If you form the sound of each word, it is impossible to read faster than this. Reading 200 words a minute is a dangerously slow speed. 41 Peripheral vision allows you to see _. （ A） things far away （ B） printed matter more clearly （ C） a wider range of things （ D） a whole sentence at one time 42 How
29、 would a slow reader improve his speed? （ A） By using books with large typeface. （ B） By decreasing peripheral vision. （ C） By not forgetting to regress. （ D） By not forming sound of each word. 43 Which was not listed as a cause of slow reading? （ A） Forming sound of each word. （ B） Visual defects.
30、（ C） Regression. （ D） Poor peripheral vision. 44 Native speakers _. （ A） all have good peripheral vision （ B） never form sound of each word （ C） speak about 190 words a minute （ D） all read rapidly 45 What is the main idea of the passage? （ A） Forming sound of each word can improve your reading spee
31、d. （ B） The practice on peripheral vision can improve reading speed. （ C） The reader reads too slowly. （ D） The reader does not recognize words in groups.
