(20%)To be a good teacher, you need some of the gifts of a good actor: you must be able to 31 the attention and interest of your students: you must be a 32 speaker, with good, strong, 33 voice which is fully under your control: and you must be able to 34 what you are teaching in order to make its meaning clea 匸 35 a good teacher and you will see that he does not sit still 36 his class: he stands the whole time when he is teaching; he walks about, using his 37 . hands and fingers to help him in his explanations, and his face to express feelings. Listen to him, and you will_38 the loudness, the quality and the musical note of his voice always 39 according to what he is 40 about. The fact that a good teacher has some of the gifts of a good actor doesn't 41 that he will indeed be able to act 42 on the stage, for there are very important 43 between the teachefs work and the actor's. The actor has to speak words which he has learnt by heart 1 he has to repeat exactly the 44 words each time he plays a certain part; 45 his movements and the ways in which he uses 46 beforehand. What he has to do is to make all these carefully learnt words and actions seem 47 on the stage. A good teacher 48 in quite a different way. His students take an active part in his49 : they ask and answer questions; they obey orders; and if they don't understand something, they will say so. The teacher therefore has to suit his act to the needs of his students. He cannot learn his part by heart, but must 50 it as he goes along.( )31. A pay Bhold C give D know( )32.

Short-range goals are those that usually deal with current activities, which we can apply on a daily basis. Such goals can be achieved in a week or less, or two weeks, or possible months. It should be remembered that just as a building is no stronger than its foundation, out long-term goals cannot amount to very munch without the achievement of solid short-term goals. Upon completing our short-term goals, we should date the occasion and then add new short-term goals that will build on those that have been completed.The intermediate goals build on the foundation of the short-range goals- They might deal with just one term of school or the entire school year, or they could even extend for several years. Any time you move a step at a time, you should never allow yourself to become discouraged or overwhelmed. As you complete each step, you will enforce the belief in your ability to grow and succeed・ And as your list of completion dates grow, your motivation and desire will increase.Long-range goals may be related to our dreams of the future. They might cover five years or more. Life is not a static thing. We should never allow a long-term goal to limit us or our course of action.51.Our long-term goals mean a lot _____ .A・讦we complete our short-range goalsB.if we cannot reach solid short-term goalsC.if we write down the datesD.if we put forward some plans52.New short-term goals are build upon _____ .A .two years B. long-term goalsC.current activitiesD. the goals that have been completed53.When we complete each step of our goals，____ •A・ we will win final successB.we are overwhelmedC・ we should build up confidence of successD.we should strong desire for setting new goals54.Once our goals are drawn up, ______ •A・ we should stick to them until we complete themB.we may change our goals as we have new ideas and opportunitiesC・ we had better wait for the exciting news of successD. we have made great decision 55・ It is implied but not stated in the passage that ____________________________________________ .A .those who had long-term goals will succeedB.writing down the dates may discourage youC.the goal is only a guide for us to reach our destinationD.everyone should have a goalPassage BThe food we eat seems to have profound effects on our health. Although science has made enormous steps in making food more fit to eat, it has, at the same time, made many foods unfit to eat. Some research has shown that perhaps eighty percent of all human illnesses are related to diet and forty percent of cancer is related to the diet as well, especially cancer of the colon・ Different cultures are more likely to cause certain different illnesses because of the food that is characteristic in these cultures. That food is related to illness is not a new discovery. In 1945, about 35 years ago, government researchers realized that nitrates, commonly used to preserve color in meats, and other food additives, caused cancer. Yet, these carcinogenic additives remain in our food, and it becomes more difficult all the time to know which things on the packaging labels of processed food are helpful or harmful. The additives which we eat are not all so direct. Farmers often give penicillin to beef and living animals, and because of this, penicillin has been found in the milk of treated cow. Sometimes similar drugs are given to animals not for medical purposes, but for financial reasons. The farmers are simply trying to fatten the animals in order to obtain a higher price on the market. Although the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has tried repeatedly to control these procedures, the practices continue.56.What is the best possible title of the passage? _____A.Drug and FoodB. Cancer and HealthC.Food and HealthD. Health and Drug57.Which of the following statements is NOT true? _____A.Drugs are always given to animals for medical reasonsB.Some of the additives in our food are added to the food itself and some are givento the living animalsC.Researchers have known about the potential dangers of food additives for overthirty-five years.D.Food may cause forty percent of cancer in world.58.How has science done something harmful to mankind? _____A.Because of science, diseases caused by polluted food haven been virtuallyeliminated.B.It has caused a lack of information concerning the value of food.C.Because of the application of science, some potentially harmful substances havebeen added to food.D.The scientists have preserved the color of meats, but not of vegetables.59.What are nitrates used for? ______A.They preserve flavor in packaged foods.B.They preserve the color of meats-C・ They are the objects of research.D.They cause the animals to become fattec60.The word Carcinogenic1 most nearly means ' ___ \A. trouble-makingB. color-retainingC.money-makingD. cancer-causingPassage CIf the population of the earth goes on increasing at its present rate, there will eventually not be enough resources left to sustain life on the planet. By the middle of the 21st century, if present trends continue, we will have used up all the oil that drives our cars, for example. Even if scientists develop new ways of feeding the human race, the crowded conditions on earth will make it necessary for us to look for open space somewhere else. But none of the other planets in our solar system are capable of supporting life at present. One possible solution to the problem, however, has recently been suggested by American scientist, Professor Carl Sagan.Sagan believes that before the earth's resources are completely exhausted it will be possible to change the atmosphere of Venus and so create a new world almost as large as earth itself. The difficult is that Venus is much hotter than the earth and there is only a tiny amount of water there.Sagan proposes that algae organisms that can live in extremely hot or cold atmospheres and at the same time produce oxygen, should be bred in condition similar to those on Venus. As soon as this has been done, the algae will be placed in small rockets. Spaceship will then fly to Venus and fire the rockets into the atmosphere .In a fairly short time, the algae will break down the carbon dioxide into oxygen and carbon.When the algae have done their work, the atmosphere will become cooler, but before man can set foot on Venus it will be necessary for the oxygen to produce rain. The surface of the planet will still be too hot for man to land on it but the rain will eventually fall and in a few years something like earth will be reproduced on Venus. 61.In the long run, the most insoluble problem caused by population growth on earthwill probably be the lack of ______ ・A. foodB. oil C・ space D. resources62.Carl Sagan believes that Venus might be colonized from earth because ____A. it might be possible to change its atmosphereB・ its atmosphere is the same as the earth'sC・ there is a good supply of water on VenusD.the days on Venus are long enough63.On Venus there is a lot of ________ .A. waterB. carbon dioxideC.carbon monoxide64.Algae are plants that can ___ ・A. live in very hot temperatures C.manufacture oxygenMan can land on Venus only whenD.oxygenB.live in very cold temperatures D. all of the aboveA. the algae have done their workB. the atmosphere becomes coolerC.there is oxygenD. it rains thereV.Translate the following sentences into Chinese.
