III.Reading Comprehension (45 points )

Section A(30 points,2 for each)

Directions: These are three passages in this part.Each of the passages is followed by some questions or unfinished statements .For each of them there are four choices marked A,B,CandD .You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the ANSWER SHEET with a single line through the center.

Questions 46 to 50 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 motionless before his class :he stand 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 . (1)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 doesn't mean that he will indeed be able to act well on the stage , for there are very important difference between the teacher 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 move-menu 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 wcy. His audience takes an active part in his play: they ask and answer questions ,they obey orders ,and if they don't understand something ,they say so .(2)The teacher therefore has to suit his act to the need s of his audience,which is his class .He cannot learn his part by were unable to take part in a stage-play because their brains wouldn's keep discipline :they could not keep strictly to what another had written..

49 A good teacher's voice _____.

B their audience are different.

C It is impossible for them to so much memory work.

D they are not used to repeating exactly the same words .

Questions 51 to 55 are baded on the following passage:

Bees do two kind s of dances to tell other bees of their discovery of food. First,there is a round dance. In this dance, the bee moves in a circle inside the hive.The round dance is used when food is close by. The food must not be more than ten meters away.(3)If a bee comes back and does a round dance , other bees know they must go out and look nearby for food. The bees also smell the bee that has found the food. The smell tells them what kind of flower to look for. After watching the round dance and smelling the bee that has found the food ,the other bees can find the food source .

A second kind of dance done by the bees is a tail-wagging dance. In this dance,the bee wiggles the end of its body as it moves in a straight line. The tail-wagging dance is used when the food is more than ten meters away. The bees know form the speed of the tail-wagging dance just how far away the food source is .In the tail-wagging dance, the bees also smell the bee that has found the food. The smell tells them what kind of flower to look for.(4)After watching the tail-wagging dance and smelling the bee that has found the food , the other bees know how far to fly and what kinds of flowers to look for .

Each bee can tell all the other bees where to look for food. The bees can also tell one another if the food is especially good and how much of it there is. Karl von Frisch did an experiment with bees. He put food source very high above the bee hive, and put a bee into the food . The bee returned to the hive and did the round dance, but none of the other bees could find the food. This suggests that bees do not really have a language .One bee could not tell the other bees the height of the food. One bee could not communicate this new information to the others .
