IV.Directions: Each of the passages below is followed by some questions.For each question there are four answers marked A,B,C and D.Read the passages carefully and choose the best answer to each of the questions.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 about,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 (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 () What he has to do is to make all these carefully learnt words and actions scem 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'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. I 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 actors could learn from each other. D.The similarities and differences between a teacher's work and an actor's. 575

miserable(糟糕整脚的)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,Jalpur 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 Jalpur 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. On the day when Jalpur 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.Jalpur would have shouted,but the people were too far away to hear.He would have run down the hill,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 hill to see what had happened.There, in the middle of his blackened cornfield,they found Jalpur;and there they buried him. On his grave,they wrote the words:Here lies Jalpur,a man who gave,living:a man who died,giving. 36.Which of the following could Jalpur NOT see from his Fields? A.Mothers washing clothes.
