36、udents.

37、sh this,” the professor stated coldly as he handed the student a paper. “Yes, I will,” replied the student. He then took a seat and began writing. After two hours, the professor called for the exam papers, and the students filed up and handed them in. All except the late student, who continued writi
38、ng. Not until half an hour later, the last student came up to the professor who was sitting at his desk preparing for his next class. He attempted to put his exam on the pile of exam papers already there. “No, you dont, Im not going to accept that. Its late.” The student seemed not to believe what t
39、he professor said and appeared to be angry. “Do you know WHO I am?”“No, as a matter of fact I dont,” replied the professor.“DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM?” the student asked again.“No, and I dont care.” replied the professor with an air of superiority.“Good,” replied the student, who quickly lifted the pile

A Clever Student.CCrosstalk, a traditional form of comic storytelling, is making a comeback in Chinas teahouses and theaters.Audiences can laugh the night away every Saturday at the Qianxiangyi Teahouse in Tianjin
44、, entertained by the apprentices (学徒) of Hou Baolin, Ma Sanli or Yin Shoushan - all leading crosstalk artists of years past for only 20 yuan (US$2.40). The success in Tianjin has also given motivation to the rejuvenation (复活) of crosstalk in Beijing and other places.Although the art form originated
45、in Beijing in the Qing Dynasty (16441911), Tianjin became a place where rising stars developed their styles and new pieces were tried out. The city was famous for the quality of its crosstalk performances.“We only want to bring the traditional pieces back to the audiences, helping them to learn thei
46、r charms and definitions,” said Yin Xiaosheng, head of the Zhongyou Arts Troupe.Known in Chinese as xiangsheng (literally, face and voice), crosstalk was the main form of comedy throughout most of the 20th century. In the old days in Tianjin and elsewhere, temple fairs and markets were the main plac
47、es for crosstalkers to perform, although they occasionally also appeared in teahouses or theaters.Usually crosstalk pieces draw on every aspect of Chinese culture, from history and folk tales to contemporary social issues. Although there are hundreds of pieces in the traditional works, they are cons
48、tantly rewritten to suit the times and the audience, while new works are written as well. This is one of the features that have made crosstalk a populist(平民化) art form throughout its history.“Crosstalk was in the doldrums with competition from other art forms, especially TV,” said Wang Xiaochun, hea
49、dmaster of the Northern Storytelling Arts School of China (NSAS). “But it has regained its status with crosstalk fans, especially young people, growing aware of its rare qualities.” The reawakening of interest in the traditional art is going beyond merely watching and listening for many. “More and m
50、ore students are coming to NSAS to study crosstalk, including some girl students,” said Wang, “They are sure that crosstalk will have a strong market.”69. From the passage, we can know the crosstalk originates(源于) from _.A. the TV shows B. the teahouse and theater C. the cinema D. the temple fairs a
51、nd markets 70. Crosstalk makes a comeback mainly because_.A. it is one of the most popular traditional art formsB. the pieces mainly cover folk tales and social issues C. the pieces are changing with times and audience D. it is performed by some leading crosstalk artists71. Which is the opposite of
52、the underlined word “doldrums” (in the last paragraph)?A. Boom. B. Variety. C.Harmony. D. Period.72. From the passage we can predict the future of crosstalk lies in_.A. making up a variety of traditional pieces B. having advantages over other media C. young peoples the awareness of its value D. the
53、competitive and big markets for artDThis brief book is aimed at high school students, but speaks to anyone learning at any stage of life. Its formal, serious style closely matches its content, a school-masterly book on schooling. The author, W. H. Armstrong, starts with the basics: reading and writi
54、ng. In his opinion, reading doesnt just mean recognizing each word on the page; it means taking in the information, digesting it and incorporating it into oneself just as one digests a sandwich and makes it a part of him. The goal is to bring the information back to life, not just to treat it as dea
55、d facts on paper from dead trees. Reading and writing cannot be completely separated from each other; in fact, the aim of reading is to express the information you have got from the text. Ive seen it again and again : someone who cant express an idea after reading a text is just as ineffective as so
56、meone who hasnt read it at all. Only a third of the book remains after that discussion, which Armstrong devotes to specific tips for studying languages, math, science and history. He generally handles these topics thoroughly and equally, except for some weakness in the science and math sections and
57、a bit too much passion regarding history. Well, he was a history teacher if conveyed only a tenth of his passion to his students, that was a hundred times more than my history teachers ever got across. To my disappointment, in this part of the book he ignores the arts. As a matter of fact, they dema
58、nd all the concentration and study that math and science do, though the study differs slightly in kind. Although its commonly believed that the arts can only be naturally acquired, actually, learning the arts is no more natural than learning French or mathematics. My other comment is that the text a
59、ged. The first edition apparently dates to the 1960snone of the references(参考文献)seem newer than the late 1950s. As a result, the discussion misses the entire computer age. These are small points, though, and dont affect the main discussion. I recommend it to any student and any teacher, including th
60、e self-taught student. 73. According to Armstrong, the goal of reading is to_. A. gain knowledge and expand ones view B. expresses ideas based on what one has read C. understand the meaning between the lines D. get information and keep it alive in memory74. The author of the passage insists that lea
61、rning the arts_. A. is as natural as learning a language B. demands real passion C. is less natural than learning math D. requires great efforts 75. What is a shortcoming of Armstrongs work according to the author? A. It lacks new information. B. The style is too serious. C. There is too much discus
62、sion. D. Some ideas are slightly wrong.76. This passage can be classified as_. A. an advertisement B. news report C. a feature story D. a book review ks5uENo poem should ever be discussed or “analyzed”, until it has been read aloud by someone, teacher or student. Better still, perhaps, is the practi
63、ce of reading it twice, once at the beginning of the discussion and once at the end, so the sound of the poem is the last thing one hears of it. All discussions of poetry are, in fact, preparations for reading it aloud, and the reading of the poem is, finally, the most telling “interpretation(解释)” o
64、f it, suggesting tone, rhythm, and meaning all at once. Hearing a poet read the work in his or her own voice, on records or on film, is obviously a special reward. But even those aids to teaching can not replace the student and teacher reading it or, best of all, reciting（背诵）it. I have come to think
65、, in fact, that time spent reading a poem aloud is much more important than “analyzing” it, if there isnt time for both. I think one of our goals as teachers of English is to have students love poetry. Poetry is “a criticism of life”, and “a heightening （提升） of life”. It is “an approach to the truth
66、 of feeling”, and it “can save your life”. It also deserves a place in the teaching of language and literature more central than it presently occupies. I am not saying that every English teacher must teach poetry. Those who dont like it should not be forced to put that dislike on anyone else. But th
67、ose, who do teach poetry must keep in mind a few things about its essential nature, about its sound as well as its sense, and they must make room in the classroom for hearing poetry as well as thinking about it.77. What is the better way to have a better understanding of a poem?A. Discussing it with
68、 others.B. Practising reading it aloud. C. Hearing the poet read out.D. Analyzing it by oneself.78. According to the author, one of the purposes of teaching English is getting students A. to like poetry B. to criticize lifeC. to enjoy lifeD. to teach poetry79. The underlined word “make room ”( in th
69、e last paragraph) probably means _. A. to build a boothB. to provide equipmentC. to leave a certain amount of time D. to set aside enough space80. The passage is mainly about _.ks5uA. teaching poetryB. discussing poetryC. reading a poemD. reciting a poem第II卷（共20分）第一部分 短文填词（10分）阅读下面短文，根据以下提示：1）汉语提示，2

76、t to the cinema to see a film named Let the Bullets Fly I think the film doesnt let the audience down and of course its one of the most Chinese entertaining movies this year. The film, directed by Jiang Wen who also plays the role in the film, is set in the western part of Sichuan in the 1930s or 19
77、40s. Many famous performers, including Hong Kong star Chow Yun-Fat and local favorite Ge You, gather together to make the film and they give an amazing performance in the film. While seeing the film, Im impressed by its striking plot and smart dialogues as well as humorous lines. ks5uHowever, some people complain that it is hard to understand the plot of the film, and some even think the film is dull and full of violence.Personally, the film is well worth seeing and it is a real hit/masterpiece. Especially some of Jiangs fans prefer to queue up to buy tickets for the film.
