His students sat quietly and waited for him to speak.“It‟s been a pleasure teaching you this term,” he said. “You‟ve all worked very hard, so I have a pleasant surprise for you. Everyone who chooses not to take the final exam will get a …B‟ for the course.”Most of the students jumped out of their seats. They thanked the teacher happily, and walked out of the classroom. Only a few students stayed. The teacher looked at them. “This is your last chance,” he said. “Does anyone else want to leave?” All the students t here stayed in their seats and took out their pencils.The teacher smiled. “Congratulations(祝贺),” he said. “I‟m glad to see you believe in yourselves.

There‟s no exchange of presents among business people, and if one American tries to give another a present, it may look like that he wants to bribe (贿赂) him. Americans have learned that in some other countries people like to give presents to others, but among ourselves we don‟t see the nee d for presents.Even friends may never exchange presents. When I go to foreign countries, I try to bring back little things for close friends, but nobody would feel unhappy if I didn‟t. I don't often re-member a friend's birthday, and few people outside of my family remember mine. If someone gave me presents too often, I‟d get unpleasant. But a present from a foreigner - that kind from his or her homeland — won't go wrong, except to government employees (政府职员) who can‟t be given presents.You usually open a present at once and in front of the person who gives it except Christmas and birthday presents. You should only say, “It's so nice. Thanks…” when you get Christ mas or birthday presents.You may want to bring a bottle of wine (葡萄酒) or flowers to a dinner party, but you‟re never asked to. Nobody will mind if you bring wine, but your friend may not use it that evening.At Christmas we often give presents to our family and sometimes our friends. We also give presents to people who have been helpful during the year- doormen, babysitters, housecleaners, newspaper senders— anyone who has often helped us.( )31. What does “close friends” mean in the passage?A. The friends who are very kind.B. The friends who live close to each other.C. The friends who were once classmates.D. The friends who you like most.( )32. What kind of presents don't Americans usually open in front of the givers?A. The small presents.B. Christmas or birthday presents.C. The expensive presents.D.

Everyone must give presents to one's family and friends at Christmas.D. Government employees can get little presents from a foreigner.( )35. What is the main idea of the passage?A. Present-giving in the United States.B. Customs (习俗) in the United States.C. American people and present-giving.D.

The quake -- the most powerful to hit Japan in more than 100 years -- caused massive damage and many people are missing and feared dead.The 8.9 magnitude (巨大的)quake struck Friday(March 11) off Japan's eastern coast, and prompted(引发) tsunami warnings（海啸警报）across the Pacific as far away as South America and the U.S. West Coast. Several days after a 8.9-magnitude earthquake and resulting 10-meter-high tsunami devastated the coastline. The United States Geological Survey says it was the fifth largest earthquake since 1900. The largest, with a 9.5 magnitude, shook Chile(智利) in 1960.In Japan, the tsunami swept away boats, cars and hundreds of houses in coastal areas north of Tokyo. The quake shook buildings in the Japanese capital and caused several fires. All train and subway traffic in Tokyo has been stopped, and thousands of people there were unable to get back home. People are just trying to find clean water. Food supplies are running out. In the convenience stores, there are no rice balls left. There is no bottled water left. People are facing a really serious situation in the days ahead for these people that are living in areas that were only moderately（普通的）damaged. The final death toll could range from the thousands to tens of thousands, depending on how many of these communities are gone.Japanese Prime Minister Naoto Kan said the government would do everything it can to minimize（使降到最低）the effects of the disaster (灾难). And in Washington, President Obama said the United States is ready to help the people of Japan.( )36. The underline word damage means_____________ in the article.A. illnessB. disasterC. terror(恐怖)D. danger( )37. Which is true according to the passage?A.

The tsunami devastated not only the coastline in Japan, but also the eras across thePacific .as far away as South America and the U.S. West Coast.D. The massive earthquake caused the tsunami.( )38. According to the passage, which earthquake is the largest one since 1990 ?A. the one happened in Japan on March 11, 2011.B. the one in Chile in 1960.C. the fifth largest earthquake since 1900.D. We don‟t know.( )39. If you‟re in Tokyo these days, what you can‟t get from the convenience store?A. newspapers and magazinesB. some medicineC. paper napkins and toothpastesD. rice balls and bottled water( )40. The passage can‟t be in/on __________.A. March 10th newspapersB. TVC. InternetD. RadiosDTo 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,pleasant 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 doesn‟t 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.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(预先).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 take an active part in his play: they ask and answer questions, they obey orders, and if they don‟t understand anything, they say so. The teacher can‟t learn his part by heart, but must invent it as he goes along.I have known many teachers who are fine actors in class but are unable to take part in a stage-play because they can‟t keep strictly to what another has written.( )41. What does the underlined word “gifts” mean?A. presentsB. knowledgeC. skillsD. advantages( )42. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A. A good teacher should speak clearly.B. A good teacher should sit still before his class and speak with his body language.C. A good actor should speak as others have asked him to do.D. A good actor should repeat exactly the same words each time he plays a certain part. ( )43. The skills of a good teacher are ____ .A. draw his students‟ attentionB. change his voice when neededC. act out what he is teachingD. all the above( )44. From the passage, we know_______________.A. a good teacher should be a good actorB. a good teacher may be unable to act well on the stageC. a good actor should be a good teacherD. a good actor may act well in class ( )45. The title (标题)of the passage is _____________.A. How to be a good teacherB. How to be a good actorC. A good teacher‟s knowledgeD. A good actor‟s behavior四．补全对话(10分)A: Good morning, Doctor.B: Good morning, my boy! ___________________________________________? (46)A: I‟ve got a headache and a cough.
