阅读以下1-5段材料，然后从A-f中选出各段的主题。有一项为多余选项。 A. A good teacher acts in class
B. Acting: repetition of fixed words and movements
C. Teaching: a student-centered creative process
D. Similarities between teaching and acting
E. ( = AB) Differences between teaching and acting
F. ( = AC) A good teacher, not necessarily a good actor

       1   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 a- ble to act what you are teaching, In order to make
its meaning clear.
         2   Watch a good teacher, and you will see that he does not sit unmoved before his class: he stands
the whole time he is teaching; he walks about, using his arms, his hands and fingers to help him in his
explanations, and his face to express feeling. Listen to him, and you will hear the loudness, the quality and
the musical note if his voice always changing according to what he is talking a- bout.
       3   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 in 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 seem natural on
the stage.
        4     A good teacher works in quite a different way. His audience takes an active part in his play: they
ask questions, they obey orders, and if they don"t understand something, they say so, the teacher therefore
has to suit his act to the needs of his audience. He cannot learn his part by heart, but must invent it as he
goes along.
       5    As a good teacher presently, you must take your au- dience as your friends, take care of them, help
them and give them enough freedom and space. I have known many teachers who were fine actors in class
but were unable to take part in a stage play be- cause their brains wouldn"t keep discipline: they could not
keep strictly to what another had written.

阅读下面的短文，请根据短文后的要求答题。（请注意问题后的字数要求）      [1] Doctors may soon have some suggestions for health that even kids will like: more playtime. European
and international health experts say a new study makes the most convincing case for the benefits of children
being active. They say the research may lead to new guidelines saying youngsters aged between 5 and 16 need
to be active up to 1.5 hours a day.
     [2] Experts said the study doesn"t mean children need to be on treadmills (跑步机) or in a soccer
leagues-they just need to be able to run around and play physically, even for short bursts of time.
     [3] The study looked at 1,732 9-year-olds and 15-year-olds from Denmark, Estonia and Portugal. Physical
activity was observed for four continuous days. Despite differences among the three coun- tries where children were observed, the benefits of physical activity were the same.
     [4] About 40 percent of those observed were reasonably ac- tive, while the rest were sedentary, researchers said. The study found that the benefits of physical activity applied to all children- not just to obese ( 肥胖的)
children normally thought to be at a higher risk.
     [5] While much attention has been paid to children"s bad eat- ing habits,this study calls for equal weight to
be placed on activity levels.
     [6] "We don"t need to be getting kids running on treadmills in the gym." said Cavil."We need to encourage
kids to play." One of the study"s key findings, he explained, is that it proves the benefit of short bursts of activity, rather than a need for continuous exercises.
     [7] But _____ perhaps the greatest factor in children"s physical activ- ity will be the parents themselves."It"s
not just that children should be more active,it"s the whole family," said Weiss."Parents should be role models." 1. What idea can we get from the researchers" finding in the pas- sage?( No more than 15words)

geography, economics, and culture of South America, all without leaving their classroom.
     They"re using the Internet to follow the one road South team of adventures on a 14-month bicycle trip
around the continent. Through a program called Reach the World, kids at 60 of the city"s elementary and
middle schools are getting a taste of global citizenship by following the One Road South bikers, a family
traveling in Europe, a bike trek (艰苦跋涉) in Africa, and a Harlem teacher working with scientists in
Antarctica through online videos, journals, and field notes.
     Sometimes, students even get to meet the travelers they are following online. Three of the four One
Road South bicyclists recently visited Paulino"s classes present a slide show about the places they plan to
visit.
     The students jumped in with questions, asking if the travelers were afraid of wild animals, running out
of food, or going for 14 months without having a girlfriend.
     But Reach the World isn"t just for fun. The program aims to integrate technology into the classroom,
to bring subjects like science and social studies to life, and to encourage students to think of them- selves
as global citizens, according to administrators.
     Their teacher, Tony Paulino, said his students are beside them-selves with excitement about following
the One Road South bikers. "I believe it speaks to the core desire we all share, to dream, to travel and to
explore," he said.

阅读理解。      American children and teenagers have increased their use of entertainment media by more than one hour
a day in the last five years. On an average day they now spend seven and a half hours using media.
     These are the findings of a new survey. It included not only devices like TVs, computers, mobile phones
and MP3 players, but also media like books and magazines. It did not count media use for school.
     Vicky Rideout at the Kaiser Family Foundation, a health re- search group, wrote the report. She was
surprised that kids could fit even more media time into their day.
     She found that they spent ten hours and fortyfive minutes if you counted each device individually. But
children multi-task a lot, and Vicky Rideout says this is not necessarily a good thing. "
     People who study the brain will tell you that you can"t actually multitask in that way. You"re really
switching back and forth in order from different tasks, just doing it rapidly, and that you don"t really do either
task as well as you would do them if. you did them one at a time." she added.
     The study suggests a link between heavy media use and lower performance in school. About one-fourth of
those who used media the least reported that their grades were mostly average or below. But that was true of
half the heavy media users.
     So where are the parents? Children who had any rule limiting the use of any kind of media were exposed to
an average of about three hours less media a day. But only one-third of children had to follow any rules.
     Girls spent more time than boys on social networking sites, lis tening to music and reading. Boys spent
more time on video games-an average of forty eight minutes more a day than girls.
     Vicky said "It looks like the girls just sort of lose interest in the games and they drop off and start doing
other things, whereas the boys" interest remains strong."
     Some other findings: Time spent reading books has not dropped in the last five years. But time with
newspapers and magazines has, though some reading now takes place online.1. What is worrying about American children and teenagers according to the survey? A. The burden and pressure of study after school.
B. The money spent on the entertainment media.
C. Their increased time spent on entertainment media.
D. The lost control of their entertainment activities. 2. What does the underlined word "multitask" mean? A. Doing different tasks without being permitted.
B. Carrying many tasks at the same time.
C. Doing some illegal things out of school.
D. Only doing one task in the limited time. 3. The underlined sentence in Paragraph 7 means____. A. Parents should watch children while they are using media
B. Parents shouldn"t allow children use media at all
C. Parents should hide and give children free space
D. Parents should play an important part as a director

阅读理解。     Forget chip fat, sugar cane or rapeseed oil-the latest source of biofuel could be watermelons.
     Scientists have discovered that the fruit is a great source of sugar that can be readily distilled (蒸馏) into
alcohol to power cars and farm machinery.
     And because sellers reject 360,000 tons of" substandard"fruit annually in America alone they could be used
as an economical way to make fuel.
     The waste from US growers could produce nearly two million gallons( nine million litres) of biofuel per
year.
     In the study, researchers at the United States Department of Agriculture set out to determine the biofuel
potential of juice from rejected watermelons-those not sold due to cosmetic imperfec tions, and currently
ploughed back into the field.
     About a fifth of each annual watermelon crop is left in the field because of surface blemishes (瑕疵) or
because they are missha pen.
     Dr Wayne Fish, who led the team, found that 50 per cent of the fruit was fermentable(可发酵的) into
alcohol which could provide valuable fuel.
     "We"ve shown that the juice of these melons is a source of readily fermentable sugars, representing an
unexploited raw material for alcohol biofuel production," he said.
     The study, published in the journal Biotechnology for biofuels, discovered that watermelons could produce
around 20 gallons of fuel per acre from fruit that otherwise would go to waste.
     Production of biofuels has been targeted by western govern ments as a way to support renewable energy
targets.
     The European Union has a target for 2010 that 5.75 per cent of transport fuels should come from biological
sources, but the target is unlikely to be met.
     The British government"s Renewable Transport Fuel Obligation requires five per cent of the fuel sold at the
pump by 2010 to be biofuel. 1. The passage mainly tells us _____. A. western countries aim at producing biofuels
B. watermelons could be used to make fuel
C. the advantages of fuel made from watermelons
D. watermelon juice will be the largest source of renewable en ergy 2. Which of the following is NOT the reason why so many water melons are deserted in America each year? A. They are substandard.
B. They are imperfect.
C. They are misshapen.
D. They are oversupplied.3. It can be learned from the text that _____. A. sellers in the world throw away 360,000 tons of watermelons every year
B. about two gallons of fuel could be made from rejected fruit per acre
C. half of the watermelons were fermentable into alcohol to provide energy
D. five per cent of fuel is required to be biofuel from watermel ons by 2010 in Britain 4. The underlined word " cosmetic" in Paragraph 5 probably means _____. A. inside
B. flavor
C. surface
D. freshness
