To be a good teacher, you need some of the gifts of a good actor: you must be able to 36 the attention and interest of your students; you must be a 37 speaker, with a good, strong, 38 voice which is fully under your control; and you must be able to 39 what you are teaching in order to make its meaning clear.

40 a good teacher and you will see that he does not sit still 41 his class; he stands the whole time when he is teaching; he walks about, using his 42 hands and fingers to help him in his explanations, and his face to express feelings. Listen to him, and you will 43 the loudness, the quality and the musical note of his voice always 44 according to what he is 45 about.

The fact that a good teacher has some of the gifts of a good actor doesn’t 46 that he will indeed be able to act 47 on the stage, for there are very important 48 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 49 words each time he plays a certain part; 50 his movements and the ways in which he uses his voice are usually 51 beforehand. What he has to do is to make all these carefully learnt words and actions seem 52 on the stage.

A good teacher 53 in quite a different way. His students take an active part in his 54 ; 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 his part by heart, but must 55 it as he goes along.

Part V Reading comprehension (20 points)

Among all the animals, the ape is most like human beings. Both people and apes have the similar brain structure, the similar nerve system, and the similar kind of blood.

There are four kinds of apes: the chimpanzee(黑猩猩), the orangutan(猩猩), the gorilla(大猩猩), and the gibbon(长臂猿). They live in the deep forests and warm tropical regions of Africa and of Southeast Asia, including Indonesia.

All apes are covered with brown, reddish-brown, or black hair everywhere on their bodies except their faces, feet, and hands. Their hands each have four fingers and a thumb that helps them grip things the way our thumbs help us. But they also have a thumb on each foot instead of a big toe. Thus they can hold things with their feet also. Having short, weak legs, apes do not walk on the ground very much. However, their arms are very strong. This enables them to swing from branches and travel very quickly from tree to tree.

These animals live in small family groups that move from place to place in search of vegetables and fruits. They also eat eggs, small animals, nuts, and insects.

When they are tired, they build nests in the trees. But they rarely sleep there for more than a night or two. Then they move on to look for more food.

There are some differences among the following three kids of apes. The gibbon is never more than three feet high and weight only about fourteen pounds. The gorilla grows to be six feet tall and weight up to 600 pounds. The orangutan is smaller than the gorilla. It stands three to five feet tall and weight up to 200 pounds.

Chimpanzees are the smartest of all apes. They can be taught to sit at a table and eat, to dress themselves, and to do things that human children can do.

[C] Apes have weak legs but very strong arms. [D] Apes’ arms are strong enough to swim.

(B )58. Apes build nests in the trees but seldom sleep there for more than a night or two because ________.

[A] They like to live in small family groups

[B] They like to move from place to place in search of more food [C] They like to eat eggs, small animals, nuts and insects [D] it rains too often in the deep forests

(A )59. Among the three kinds of apes, ________. [A] the gorilla is the biggest

[B] the gibbon is only three feet high but it is heavier than the orangutan [C] the orangutan is smaller than the gorilla and cleverer than the gibbon [D] the orangutan can stand up to a great height, but others cannot (D )60. The last paragraph tells us that ________. [A] chimpanzees can do better than human children

[D] the intelligence of chimpanzees is similar to that of human children

Videodisc holds great promise of helping to meet the needs of American schoolchildren who have problems seeing, hearing, speaking, or socializing. Almost eleven percent of the students aged 3~21 in this country have an impairment that affects their ability to benefit from a regular education program.
