Mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET. （20 points） Questions 31 ?35 are based on the following passage. 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 aboutt 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 （音 色）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 doesn't mean that he will indeed be able to act well on the stage, for there are very important differences between the teacher's work and the actor's. 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 （預先）. 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 don J t 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. 1 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. 31. 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 actorA could learn from each other. D. The similarities and differences between a teacher's work and an actor's. 32- The word “audience" in the first paragraph means? A. students B. people who watch a play C. people who not on the stage D. people who listen to something 33. A good teacher? A. knows how to hold the interest of his students B. depends on a good voice C. knows how to act on the stage D? stands or sits still while teaching 34. In what way is a teacher's work different from an actor's ? 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. 35. 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 needn't C. no memory work is needed for the students D. the students must take part in their teachers* plays Questions 36?40 are based on the following passage. Shundagarh is a village on India's east-facing coast. It is a village of simple mud and grass houses built on the beach just above the waterline- T he Khadra Hills rise immediately behind the village, to a height of one hundred and fifty meters. A simple, good-hearted old man, whose name was Jaipur, fanned two small fields on the very edge of these hills. From his fields he could see the fishing boats that travelled up and down the coast. He could see the children playing on the sands； their mothers washing clothes on the flat stones where the Shiva River flowed into the sea； and their fathers landing the latest catch or repairing nets and telling stories that had no end. All Jaipur owned in the world were the clothes he wore day in and day out 9 the miserable (糟糕蹩腳的)hut that he slept in at night, a few tools and cooking pots-and his fields. The corn that he grew was all that made life possible. If the weather was kind and the harvest was good, Jaipur could live happily enough - not well, but happily. When the sun was fierce? and there was little or no rain, then he came close to the line between life and death. Last year the weather had been so kind, and the harvest promised to be so good, that Jaipur had been wondering whether he could sell all that he had and live with his son farther up the coast. He had been thinking about doing this for some years. It was his dearest wish to spend his last days with his son and his wife. But he would go only if he could give； he would not go if it meant taking food out of the mouths of his grandchildren. He would rather die hungry than do this. ()n the day when Jaipur decided that he would harvest his corn, sell it, and move up the coast, he looked out to sea and saw a huge wave, several kilometers out, advancing on the coast and on the village of Shundagarh. Within ten minutes everyone in Shundagarh would be drowned. Jaipur would have shouted, but the people were too far away to hear. He would have run down the hill 9 but he was too old to run. He was prepared to do anything to save the people of Shundagarh, so he did the only thing that he could do： he set fire to his corn. In a matter of seconds the flames were rising high and smoke was rising higher. Within a minute the people of Shundagarh were racing up the hil! to see what had happened. There, in the middle of his blackened cornfields they found Jaipur； and there they buried him. On his grave, they wrote the words： Here lies Jaipur, a man who gave, living： a man who died, giving. 36. Which of the following could Jaipur NOT see from his Fields? A. Mothers washing clothes. B. Fathers taking their corn to market. C. Fishing boats traveling on the sea. D? Children playing on the sands. 37. Why didn't Jaipur live well? A? He didn't work hard. B. He had too many children to feed. C. He only depended on good weather and harvest for survival. D. The villagers kept taking his corn. 38. Jaipur's dearest wish was to? A. move away from his son B. take a vacation up the coast C. make a great deal of money in order to live an easy life D? spend his last days with his son and his wife 39. What did Jaipur do when he saw the huge wave? A? He set fire to his corn so the people of Shundagarh would leave the beach. B. He screamed loudly to get the villagers' attention. C? He ran down the hill to tell the people. D? He stood still, not knowing what to do. 40. The villagers were thankful to Jaipur because he had. A. given his life in order to save theirs B. saved their village from being drowned by the wave C. given them many things during his life D? given them his corn in order to save them from hunger V ?
