Part Ⅱ Reading
Directions: This part is to test your reading ability. There are 5 tasks for you to fulfill. You should read the material carefully and do the tasks as you are instructed.
Task 1 （每题1分，共5分）
Directions: After reading the following passage, you will find 5 questions or unfinished statements. For each question or statement there are 4 choices marked A),B), C) and D). You should make the correct choice.
To be a good teacher, you need some of the gifts of a good actor; you must be able to hold the attention of your audience; you must be a clever 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.
The fact that a good teacher has some of the gifts of an 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 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.
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 no. The teacher therefore has to suit his act to the needs of his audience, which is his class. He can’t learn his part by heart, but must invent it as he goes along.
1. The word “gifts” in Line One means __C____.
A. presents B. cleverness
C. something belongs to a good actor D. the way a teacher should act in class
2. In what way is a teacher’s work different from an actor’s? C
A. The teacher must learn everything by heart.
B. He knows to control his voice better than an actor.
C. He has to deal with unexpected situations.
D. He has to use more facial expressions.
3. There are some similarities between teachers and actors except ___D____.
A. a good, strong and pleasing voice
B. the ability to hold the attention of the listeners
C. you must be a clever speaker
D. the ability to control unexpected situation
4. Which of the following is TRUE ? A
A. A teacher cannot decide beforehand what exactly he is going to say in class.
B. A teacher must have better memory than an actor.
C. A teacher’s voice must be nicer than an actor.
D. A teacher has to learn by heart what exactly he is going to say in class.
5. According to the passage, which is the best title ? B
A. How to Become a Good Actor.
B. Teachers and Actors.
C. How to Become a Good Teacher.
D. A Good Teacher.
Task 2 （每题1分，共5分）
Directions: This task is the same as Task l.
First impressions are often lasting ones. Indeed, if you play your cards right, you can enjoy the benefits of what is called “halo (光环) effect”. This means that if you are viewed positively within the critical first four minutes, the person you have met will likely assume everything you do is positive.
Four minutes. Studies tell us that is the critical period in which impressions are formed by someone we’ve just met. People tend to focus on what they see (dress, eye contact, movement), on what they hear (how fast or slowly we talk, our voice, tone and volume), and on our actual words.
Most employers believe that those who look as if they care about themselves are more likely to care about their jobs. We know “It’s what’s inside that counts, ” but research shows that physic attractive people are generally perceived by employers as more intelligent, likable and believable.
Here’s how to make those critical four minutes count:
First, look your best. It signals success. Studies have linked clothing consciousness to high self-respect and job satisfaction.
Second, monitor your body language. How you move and gesture will greatly influence an interviewer’s first impression of you.
Third, say what you mean. Your goal is to show confidence and be believed. Hold that favorable first impression by making your words consistent with your body language and appearance.
Finally, there is a matter of how you speak. Any professional voice coach will tell you that you can learn how to sound more relaxed, more assertive(坚定的), and more confident.
6. What kind of person is to be accepted by the employer? D
A. One who is physically excellent.
B. One who is capable of talking.
C. One who is fairly modest?
D. One who cares about oneself.
7. When people meet you for the first time, they will _____A____ .
A. notice all your behaviors
B. listen to you patiently
C. try to avoid eye-contact with you
D. act as friendly as possible
8. If you want to benefit from the so-called “halo-effect”’ you have to learn how to ______C____ .
A. create a lasting impression
B. act as if you were playing cards
C. make the first impression right
D. be critical within the first four minutes
9. In the sentence “It’s what’s inside that counts,” (L.3, Para.3) what does the word “count” mean? D
A. Do calculation.
B. Make a conclusion.
C. Take into consideration.
D. Be important.
10. Which of the following could probably be the title of this passage？ B
A. Be More Confident
B. The Deepest Impression.
C. The Attractive Four Minutes
D. How to Impress Interviewers

Everyone knows the small insects called mosquito. It is possible to find mosquitoes in almost every part of the world except in the places where it is extremely cold or where it is very dry. During the summer, it is almost certain that you can find many mosquitoes near swamps(沼泽), ponds, and lakes.

person or animal in order to get some blood. She needs this blood before she can lay her eggs. Second, she flies to an area of water and deposits (存放) her eggs in the water.

All of us who live a busy life may ask this question: how can I find time to read? The answer may be 15 minutes a day at any time. No universal formula can be prescribed; each of us must find our own 15-minute period each day. It is better if it is regular.
The only requirement is the will to read. With it you can find the 15 minutes no matter how busy the day is. And you must have the book at hand.
