课时作业(十六) Unit 4 Period 4
Ⅰ.阅读理解
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 (预先).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 stageplay because they could not keep strictly to what another had written.
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇议论文,比较了老师和演员的相似和不同之处。作为一名教师,要有一名优秀演员的才能和天赋,比如你必须要抓住观众的注意力,要讲话清晰,声音令人愉悦,为了把意思表达清楚还要有手势和动作等。
1.What is the text about?
A.How to become a good teacher.
B.What a good teacher should do outside the classroom.
C.What teachers and actors could learn from each other.
D.The similarities(相似处) and differences between a teacher’s work and an actor’s.
解析:选D 主旨大意题。由文章大意可知比较了老师和演员的相似和不同之处。
2.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
解析:选A 细节理解题。由第一段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.可知要成为一名好老师,你需要一个好演员的一些天赋; 你必须能够吸引学生的注意力和兴趣。可知好教师必须能够吸引学生的注意力和兴趣。
3.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.
解析:选C 逻辑推理题。由第三段可知,演员必须说出他用心学过的话; 他每次扮演某个角色时都必须重复同样的话,甚至他的动作和他使用声音的方式通常都是能事先确定的,他所需要做的是让这些经过仔细学习的单词和动作在舞台上显得自然。可以推知演员的表演都是在事先就已经确定好的,而教师必须处理不可预料的情况,这是他们工作的不同之处。

B.students must keep silent while theatre audience needn’t

B
Much meaning can be conveyed clearly,with our eyes,so it is often said that eyes can speak.
Do you have such kind of experience? In a bus you may look at a stranger,but not too long.And if he is sensing that he is being stared at,he may feel uncomfortable.
The same is true in daily life.If you are looked at for more than necessary,you will look at yourself up and down,to see if there is anything wrong with you.If nothing goes wrong,you will feel angry towards others’ staring at you that way.Eyes do speak,right?
Looking too long at someone may seem to be rude and aggressive.But things are different when it comes to staring at the opposite sex.If a man glances at a woman for more than 10 seconds and refuses to move his gaze,his intentions are obvious,that is,he wishes to attract her attention,to make her understand that he is admiring her.
However,the normal eye contact for two people engaged in a conversation is that the speaker will only look at the listener from time to time,in order to make sure that the listener does pay attention to what the former is speaking,and to tell him that he is attentive.
If a speaker looks at you continuously when speaking,as if he tries to dominate you,you will feel uncomfortable.A poor liar usually exposes himself by looking too long at the victim,since he believes in the false idea that to look straight in the eye is a sign of honest communication.Quite the contrary.
In fact,continuous eye contact is confined to lovers only,who will enjoy looking at each other tenderly for a long time,to show affection that words cannot express.
Evidently,eye contact should be done according to the relationship between two people and the specific situation.
【语篇解读】 很多意思都能用我们的眼睛清楚地表达出来,所以我们常说眼睛会说话。而眼神交流应根据两人之间的关系和具体情况而进行。
5.Which of the following behaviour is proper according to the passage?
A.To the opposite sex,stare at him or her.
B.To a stranger,avoid looking at him or her.
C.In a conversation,look at the listener all the time.
D.Make eye contact depending on the relationship and different situations.
解析:选D 推理判断题。根据最后一段可知,眼神交流应根据两人之间的关系和具体情况而进行。故选D项。
6.If two persons exchange eye contact gently for a long time,what is probably their relationship?
A.Boss and employee. B.Lovers.
C.Teacher and student. D.Strangers.
解析:选B 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段In fact,continuous eye contact is confined to lovers only,who will enjoy looking at each other tenderly for a long time,to show affection that words cannot express.可知,如果两个人的眼睛温柔地长时间对视,说明这两个人是情侣关系。故选B项。
7.What’s the best title of the passage?
A.Don’t Stare at Others
B.Body Language Is Important
C.Eyes Can Speak
D.Eye Contact Benefits You
解析:选C 主旨大意题。由第一段Much meaning can be conveyed,clearly,with our eyes,so it is often said that eyes can speak.可知,眼睛能说话。并且下文讲述了不同关系的两个人之间在不同情况下进行眼神交流所表达的意思。故选C项。
Ⅱ.完形填空
According to specialists,body language speaks louder than words.However,isn’t it true that words 1 with them great strength or influence? Such was the case with the 2 of Maude,a woman who learned that there is no wrong time to say the right thing.
