You should choose the one that best fits into the 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 students; you must be a 21 speaker, with a good, strong, pleasing voice which is fully under your control; and you must be able to 22 what you are teaching in order to make its meaning clear. 23 a good teacher and you will see that he does not sit still 24 his class: he stands the whole time when he is teaching; he walks about, using his 25 , hands and fingers to help him in his explanations, and his face to express feelings. Listen to him, and you will 26 the loudness, the quality and the musical note of his voice always changing according to what he is 27 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 28 on the stage, for there are very important 29 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 30 words each time he plays a certain part; 31 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 seem 32 on the stage.A good teacher 33 in quite a different way. His students take an active part in his 34 ; 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 35 it as he goes along.21、 A. clear B. slow C. quick D. loud22、 A. act B. talk C. say D. repeat23、 A. Listen B. Look C. Watch D.

Each passage is followed by five questions. For each question there are four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best answer.Passage 1Being a salesman, the most important thing is to understand people. You've got to know what they're thinking. If you can figure that out, you cab get them to do a lot. They come in with an idea about what they want. You get them talking about themselves, about what they like.If it's a man, you talk about football, or something like that. If it's a woman, you ask her about fashions. That way they get comfortable with you. You ask them a lot of questions and get them saying yes. Then they just get into the habit of saying yes.In the end, you can put them into anything you want, if you're really good. For example, if they need a little ear for the city, you send them home a truck. Of course, I wouldn't really do that. It wouldn't be right. You've got to sell on this job, but you also have to be fair. It's not fair to take advantage of people too much. There are some people in this business who'd do anything. But I don't believe in that.36、 To be a good salesman, the most important thing is to ______.A. learn from different kinds of peopleB. understand what people are thinkingC. see what people usually do in daily lifeD. watch what changes people have made37、 According to the passage, you can make a woman feel comfortable by ______.A. talking about fashionsB. playing football togetherC. sending a small gift to herD. saying yes to her questions38、 One way to make people get into the habit of saying yes is to ______.A. ask them to say what they likeB. tell them to do anything you wantC. help them feel confident in themselvesD. get them to say yes to a lot of your questions39、 According to the last paragraph, the author believes that ______.A. it is right to do anything in businessB. it is useless to believe in what customers sayC. it is unfair to take too much advantage of peopleD. it is dangerous to listen to the advice of a salesman40、 Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. Most women like to talk about sports events.B. Some business people would do anything to sell.C. It's difficult to understand other people very well.D. You can make people do anything by talking with them. Passage 2When it comes to human resources, hiring highly-skilled staff is not usually enough for a company to function successfully. Besides the knowledge in their particular fields, employees must always have additional skills—those of co-operation. In the case that work tasks can only be carried out by communicating with people, accepting common decisions, solving problems, sharing information and helping one another, teamwork skills are vital. While some jobs may require talent, the ability to work as a team is learned. There are no complicated formulas; you don't need to have any special qualities or exceptional mental abilities. Individuals can be effective as a team if they have developed certain behaviors or habits of communication. Many companies, clubs and organizations use team building activities. Team building activities may include a number of teamwork elements. They are aimed at encouraging active participation in task accomplishment while all members have their roles as individuals and are able to co-operate towards a common goal as a team.Many team building activities focus on problem solving and discussing team issues; thus argument as a way to common consensus (共识) is encouraged. Team building activities often involve recognition and identification of team member skills, talents, knowledge, and experiences which allow the team members to learn more about each other and fully utilize those skills where appropriate. Many team activities are focused on developing keys to trust during challenging times.41、 In the author's opinion, which of the following is vital for a company to be successful?A. Specialized knowledge.B. Highly-skilled staff.C. Exceptional talent.D. Teamwork skills.42、 According to the second paragraph, co-operation skills ______.A. require special qualities and abilitiesB. are learned while working in a teamC. need exceptional mental abilitiesD. are quite complicated to learn43、 Team building activities are good for ______.A. hiring employees with special talentB. encouraging employees to co-operateC. helping employees work independentlyD. training employees in their special fields44、 Why are team members encouraged to argue in team building activities?A. To come to an agreement.B. To identify their own skills.C. To learn more about the company.D. To build up their own confidence.45、 What is the best title of the passage?A. Team BuildingB. Problem SolvingC. Communication SkillsD. Company Management Passage 3Five years ago, David Smith wore an expensive suit to work every day. "I was a clothes addict(迷)," he jokes. "I used to carry a fresh suit to work with me so I could change if my clothes got wrinkled(皱的)." Today David wears casual clothes—khaki pants and a sports shirt—to the office. He hardly ever wears a necktie. "I'm working harder than ever," David says, "and I need to feel comfortable."More and more companies are allowing their office workers to wear casual clothes to work. In the United States, the changes from formal to casual office wear have been slow. In the early 1990s, many companies allowed their workers to wear casual clothes on Friday (but only on Friday). This became known as "dress-down Friday" or "casual Friday". "What started out as an extraone-day-a-week benefit for workers has really become an everyday thing," said business adviser Maisly Jones.Why have so many companies started allowing their workers to wear casual clothes? One reason is that it's easier for a company to attract new workers if it has a casual dress code. "A lot of young people don't want to dress up for work," says the owner of a software company, "so it's hard to hire people if you have a conservative dress code." Another reason is that people seem happier and more productive when they are wearing comfortable clothes. In a study made by Levi Strauss and Company, 85 percent of employers said that casual dress improves employee morale. Only 4 percent of employers said that casual dress has a side effect on work. Supporters of casual office wear also say that a casual dress code helps them save money. "Suits are expensive, if you have to wear one every day," one person said. "For the same amount of money, you can buy a lot more casual clothes."46、 David Smith refers to himself as having been "a clothes addict" because ______.A. he often wore khaki pants and a sports shirtB. he couldn't stand a clean appearanceC. he wanted his clothes to look tidy and clean all the timeD. he didn't want to spend much money on clothes47、 David Smith wears casual clothes now, because ______.A. they make him feel at ease when workingB. he cannot afford to buy expensive clothesC. he looks handsome in casual clothesD. he no longer works for any company48、 According to this passage, which of the following is FALSE?A. Many workers don't like a conservative dress code.B. Comfortable clothes make workers more productive.C. A casual clothes code is welcomed by young workers.D. All the employers in the U.S. are for casual office wear.49、 According to this passage, which of the following is TRUE?A. Company workers started to dress down about twenty years ago.B. Dress-down has become an everyday phenomenon since the early 1990s.C. "Dress-down Friday" was first given as a favor from employers.D. Many workers want to wear casual clothes to impress people.50、 In this passage, the following advantages of casual office wear are mentioned EXCEPT ______.A. saving worker's moneyB. making workers more attractiveC. improving worker's feelingD. making workers happierPassage 4Many things about language are a mystery, and many will always remain so. But some things we do know.First, we know that all men in the world have a language of some sort. There is no race of men anywhere on earth so backward that it has no language. And, in historical times, there has never been a race of men without a language. Second, there is no such thing as a primitive language. There are many peoples whose cultures are undeveloped, who are, as we say, uncivilized, but the languages they speak are not primitive. In all known languages we can see complexities that must have been tens of thousands of years in developing. This has not always been well understood; indeed, the direct contrary has often been stated. Popular ideas of the language of the American Indians will illustrate. Many people have supposed that the Indians communicated in a very primitive way. Study has proved this to be nonsense. There are, or were, hundreds of American Indian languages, and all of them turn out to be very complicated and very old. They are certainly different from the languages that most of us are familiar with, but they are no more primitive than English and Greek.A third thing we know about language is that all languages are perfectly adequate. That is, each one is a perfect means of expressing the culture of the people who speak the language.Finally, we know that language changes. It is natural and normal for language to change; the only languages which do not change are the dead ones. This is easy to understand if we look backward in time. Change goes on in all aspects of language. Grammatical features change as do speech sounds, and changes in vocabulary are sometimes very extensive and may occur very rapidly. Vocabulary is the least stable part of any language.51、 What can be inferred from the second paragraph?A. Some backward race of men doesn't have a language of their own.B. Some race of men in history didn't possess a language of their own.C. Any human race, whether backward or not, has a language.D. Some race of men on earth can communicate without language.52、 What kind of language can peoples of undeveloped cultures have?A. Complicated.B. Uncivilized.C. Primitive.D. Well-known.53、 People used to think Indians communicated ______.A. with complicated languageB. in a primitive wayC. with hand gesturesD. through body movements54、 What does the word "adequate" (Line 1, Para. 4) most probably mean?A. Primitive.B. Unique.C.Sufficient. D. Proper.55、 According to the author, language changes are most likely to occur in ______.A. grammarB. pronunciationC. vocabularyD. intonationⅣ．Writing56、Directions: For this part, you're required to write a composition on the topic Raising Pets.
