第三部分阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）
A
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 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 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.
56. What is the passage mainly about?
A. The characteristics of a good teacher.
B. The characteristics of a good actor.
C. How to be a good teacher or a good actor
D. The differences between a teacher’s work and an actor’s.
57. A good teacher ______________.
A. knows how to hold the interest of his students
B. must have a good voice
C. knows how to act on the stage
D. stands or sits still while teaching
58. In what way is a teacher’s work different from an actor’s?
A. The teacher must learn everything by heart.
B. He knows how to control his voice better than an actor.
C. He has to deal with unexpected situations.
D. He has to use more facial expressions.
59. The main difference between students in class and a theatre audience is that ___________.
A. students can move around in the classroom
B. students must keep silent while theatre audience needn’t
C. no memory work is needed for the students
D. the students must take part in their teachers’ plays

Five years ago, David Smith wore an expensive suit to work every day. “I was a clothes addict,” 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(非正式的) 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 gradual. In the early 1990s, many companies allowed their workers to wear casual clothes o n Friday (but only on Friday). This became known as “dress-down Friday” or “casual Friday”. “What started out as an extra one-day-a-week benefit for
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（传统的）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 they believe that casual dress improves employee morale（士气）. Only 4 percent of employers said that casual dress has a negative effect on productivity. Supporters of casual office wear also say that a casual dress code helps them save money. “Suits are expens ive, if you have to wear one every day,” one person said. “For the same amount of money, you can
60. David Smith refers to himself as having been “a clothes addict,” because __________.
A. he often wore khaki pants and a sports shirt
B. he couldn’t stand a clean appearance
C. he wanted his clothes to look neat all the time
D. he didn’t want to spend much money on clothes
61. David Smith wears casual clothes now, because __________.
A. they make him feel at ease when working
B. he cannot afford to buy expensive clothes
C. he looks handsome in casual clothes
D. he no longer works for any company
62. According to this passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?
A. Company workers were required to wear formally even at weekend 20 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.
63. In this passage, the following advantages of casual office wear are mentioned except ________.
A. saving employees’ money
B. making employees more attractive
C. lifting working spirits
D. making employees happier
C
If you’ve ever seen a James Bond movie, you’ll know that the hero gets around in a smart Aston Martin car. Even if you know that you could never afford such an expensive vehicle, you don’t forget the name, or the car.
Why? You have been affected by product placement.
Companies pay a film to place their products in the movie. Product placement took off in the West in the 1980s and is now catching on in China. Two Hunan Satellite TV dramas are recent examples: Ugly Wudi and L et’s Go Watch the Meteor Shower(《一起去看流星雨》).
Shampoo, mobile phones, cars and fitness centers —anything can be product-placed. Advertisers value the mass appeal of the movies, knowing that a successful film can showcase (展示) their goods to hundreds of thousands of viewers. But when product placement takes over, art can only take a back seat.
Cai Zhiyong has been product-placing for years. The Beijing-based advertiser admits there is a conflict (冲突) between art and business. He explains the way one ad works. In If You are the One (《非诚勿扰》), the actress Shu Qi plays a flight attendant. The movie contains product placement for airline companies.
Cash-strapped filmmakers often can’t pay so much attention to the quality of their work because they need money from advertisers. In the original story for Meteor Shower, the heroine’s mother owned an ice cream shop. But no ice cream company wanted to sponsor (赞助) the film. For this reason, the story was changed. In the film the man drinks 20 cups of milk tea instead of eating ice cream.
So you may see the power of business over the movies, since the script (剧本) was perhaps written so that a product could be placed---whether it was ice cream or milk tea.
64. James Bond movies are mentioned in the first paragraph to show_________.
A. how popular James Bond is
B. how great the Aston Martin car is
C. how to make a movie more artistic
D. how effectively product placement works
65. Product placement can have a bad effect on the _________ of a movie.
A. atmosphere
B. mass appeal
C. box-office success
D. artistic value
66. What does the underlined word "cash-strapped" in Paragraph 6 probably mean?
A. Short of money.
B. Wasting a lot of money.
C. having enough money.
D. Trying to save money.
67. We can learn from the example of Meteor Shower that __________.
A. business has a great effect on the movie.
B. the original story was not suitable for a movie
C. filmmakers are only concerned about making money
D. milk tea is more popular than ice cream
D

Colleges may try to do a lot to prepare students for study abroad — telling about culture shock, warning about homesickness, and recommending books about the country. But when it comes to adjusting to campus life when they return, schools haven’t done as much, even though the transition (转变) is sometimes almost as difficult.
“They can feel disoriented (迷失方向的) and depressed. They find things are not exactly the way they were when they left,” said Antonio Jimenez, director of the Center for International Affairs at California State University Channel Islands in Camarillo, California, US. “They find that people don’t care much a bout their experiences.”
Some colleges are now rethinking their approach to studying abroad, recognizing that students might need almost as much help adjusting to life back home as they did getting ready to leave: students experience a sort of reverse (倒转) culture shock when they return to the US. They might be troubled by the wealth and waste they see back home or they might feel homesick for their new country and its customs. And when they try to talk about their experiences, people quickly lose interest, especially if they haven’t lived abroad themselves.
Down the road, they also might find it difficult to translate their time abroad into experience that an employer finds attractive.
Some California universities have organized conferences to help students make the most of their time abroad. During a one-day event, students learn how to adjust
after living abroad, talk about their experiences and incorporate (加上,包含) them into their lives and future careers.
Blythe Cheney, 22, a senior who has studied in Thailand and Britain, found the workshops helpful. “Any experience abroad does have an effect on you,” Cheney said. “When you come back, it’s important to talk about it, especially with people who know what you’ve been through.” Yet most universities focu s more on preparation than reorientation（重新定位）.
72. Which of the following is TRUE about the US students returning from studying overseas?
A. They may still miss the country they studied in.
B. They feel ashamed of the American way of wasting.
C. They don’t talk much about their overseas experience.
D. They feel comfortable being back in their own country again.
73. The writer is _____ the help colleges offer for the students when they return from studying overseas.
A. pleased with
B. proud of
C. dissatisfied with
D. no interest in
74. The underlined word “workshops” in the last paragraph refers to _____.
A. shops where books are bought
B. buildings where machines are made
C. labs where experiments are conducted
D. conferences where people share their experiences
75. What is the passage mainly about?
A. Some universities offer to help students in need.
B. Overseas students experience culture shock in foreign countries.
C. Returned students find it difficult to translate their time abroad into experience.
D. Returning from studying overseas, students face more trouble than they expected
