36.[阅读理解]Acting is such an over-crowded profession that the only advice that should be given to a young person thinking of going on the stage is "Don't!" But it is useless to try to discourage someone who feels that he must act, although the chances of his becoming famous are small. The normal way to begin is to go to a drama school. Usually only students who show promise and talent are accepted, and the course lasts two years. Then the young actor or actress takes up work with a repertory company, usually as an assistant stage manager. This means doing everything that there is to do in the theatre: painting scenery, looking after the furniture, publicity, taking care of the costumes, and even acting in very small parts. It is very hard work indeed, the hours are long and the salary is tiny. But young actors with the stage in their blood are happy, waiting for the chance of work with a better company, or perhaps in films or television. Of course, some people have remarkable chances which lead to fame and success without this long and tedious training. Connie Pratt, for example, was just an ordinary girl working in a bicycle factory. A film producer happened to catch sight of her one morning waiting at a bus stop, as he drove past in his big car. He told the chauffeur to stop, and he got out to speak to the girl. He asked her if she would like to go to the film studio to do a test, and at first she thought he was joking. Then she got angry and said she would call the police. It took t he producer twenty minutes to convince Connie that he was serious. Then an appointment was made for her to go to the studio the next day. The test was successful. They gave her elocution lessons and within a few weeks she was playing the leading part opposite one of the most famous actors of the day. Of course, she was given a more dramatic name, which is now world-famous. But chances like this happen once in a blue moon!
1Why is an assistant stage manager's job difficult?____
A.Because he has to do everything.
B.Because he has to work long hours every day.
C.Because he will not be happy.
D.Because he has to wait for another chance.
2The phrase "once in a blue moon" refers to ____.
A.once in a full moon
B.once for a while
C.once for a long time
D.once and for all
3Usually only students who ____are accepted.
A.have received good education
B.are hard-working
C.are talented and promising
D.are good-mannered
4The reason why young people should be discouraged from becoming actors is that ____.
A.actors are very determined people
B.the course at the drama school lasts two years
C.acting is very hard work
D.there are already too many actors
5"Then she got angry and said she would call the police". This sentence shows that ____.
A.She totally disbelieved the proposal
B.The man acted with an ill purpose
C.The man forced her into his big car
D.She was a nervous woman

37.[阅读理解]A nurse and her elderly uncle were waiting for a bus at a corner in downtown Chicago. Buses came by, but not the one they wanted. The woman finally half-entered one of the buses and asked the driver if the bus she wanted stopped at that corner. The driver ignored her, so she repeated the question. Incredibly, he then closed the door -- on her arm -- and drove off. The woman, her arm stuck in the door, trotted alongside the bus, shouting. Passengers said the driver stopped after almost a block only because they, too, were shouting. When the driver finally did stop and opened the door, the woman jumped on the bus to get his badge number. Then he took off again and went another couple of blocks before other shouting passengers persuaded him to stop and let the woman off. After the driver's bosses at the Chicago Transit Authority--a tax-supported governmental body -- heard of the incident, they looked into it and set his punishment: a five-day suspension without pay. That struck me as rather light. But Bill Baxa, a CTA public-relations man, said, "That's a pretty harsh penalty. " Five days off work is a harsh penalty for dragging a woman alongside a bus by her arm? Baxa said, "Any time you take money away from someone, it is a harsh punishment. The driver makes $14 an hour. Multiply that by 40 and you can see what he lost. " Yes, that comes to $560, a tidy sum. But we know that people in the private sector are fired for far less every day. If the people who run the CTA think that the loss of a week's pay is more than enough, I offer them a sporting proposition: Give me a bus. Then have their wives stick their arms in the doorway of the bus, and I'll slam the door shut, stop the gas pedal and take them for a fast one-block jog. And I'll pay $560 to anyone who is bold enough to try it. Any takers? Mr. Baxa? Anybody? I didn't think so.
6The reason why the woman trotted alongside the bus was that____.
A.she couldn't get herself away from the bus
B.the driver closed the door before she heard the answer
C.she was dragged by the bus driver
D.she wanted to get the driver's badge number
7Why did the author offer a sporting proposition? ____
A.Because the CTA paid little attention to the incident.
B.Because the bus driver had not been fired.
C.Because he wanted to threaten the CTA people.
D.Because he thought the penalty was not a harsh on
8How many blocks was the woman away from the corner where she waited when the bus driver finally let her off? ____
A.Almost one block.
B.Almost two blocks.
C.Probably three blocks.
D.Probably five or six blocks.
9The nurse half-entered one of the buses because____.
A.the bus they wanted didn't stop there
B.she wanted the driver to stop the bus
C.she wanted to get some information from the driver
D.she and her uncle couldn't wait any longer at the corner
10The bus driver's punishment was____.
A.being dismissed from the CTA
B.being out of work for a week
C.paying a fine of $560
D.working without pay for five days

38.[阅读理解]Your Bean Steak (素肉排), Sir! What sort of food are we likely to be eating in the year 2000? Most people, when you ask them a question like that, either say: " There won't be any left, " or "Whatever it is, there won't be much taste in it. " Of course, there are good reasons for being worried about the world's food supplies in the future. Nevertheless, not all the experts share these worries. For one thing, although the world's population is rising fast, food production is keeping pace with it, even in developing countries. It is therefore argued that the main reason why people are hungry is not that there is a world food shortage but that methods of cultivation are not sufficiently advanced in some areas and the food is not fairly distributed ( 分配 ). This does not mean, however, that our diet ( 饮食 ) will go on being the same. In many industrialized countries, people feed animals with grain to produce high-quality beef, even though the grain would feed the human population, and use fishmeal to fatten pigs to improve the quality of bacon. While not many of us would like fishmeal for lunch, its nutritional value is high and the unattractive fish it is made from can be presented to the public in colorful packets of fish fingers. By the year 2000, many of these problems will have been solved. Scientists are already capable of making steaks from soy beans. It is quite obvious that there will still be enough to eat, if we are not too particular about where the food comes from and what it is made of.
11The reason why people are hungry in today's world is ____.
A.poor farming methods and bad distribution
B.food shortages all across the world
C.fast rising population
D.slow growth of food production
12The title of this passage suggests that ____.
A.science is making rapid progress
B.there will be worldwide food shortages
C.food in the future will be tasteless
D.diet in the future will be very different
13The word "bacon" in Line 5, Para. 3 most probably is ____.
A.meat made from pigs
B.meat made from fish
C.a kind of "meat" made from grain
D.food for fish
14Most people believe that food supplies in the future ____.
A.will be much better than they are today
B.will become a very serious problem
C.will be enough in quantity but not good in quality
D.will be the same as they are today
15The word "particular" in Line 4, Para. 4 means ____.
A.special
B.very exact
C.choosy
D.detailed

39.[阅读理解]Reading time: 7 1/2 minutes Learning to Keep Your Cool During Tests Have you ever felt so anxious during an examination that you couldn't even put down the answers you knew? If so, you were suffering from what is known as test anxiety. According to psychologist Ralph Trimble, test anxiety is a very real problem for many people. When you're worried over your performance on an exam, your heart beats faster and your pulse speeds up. These reactions start others: You may sweat more than normal or suffer from a stomachache or headache. Your field of vision narrows and becomes tunnel-like. Before you know it, you're having difficulty focusing. "What I hear students say over and over again," says Dr. Trimble, who is working at the Psychological and Counseling Center at the University of Illinois, "is, 'My mind went blank.'" For a number of years, Dr. Trimble helped many students learn how to perform better during exams and to bring up their grades. Some of these students were interested in sharing what they learned and, with Trimble's help, began holding workshops on overcoming test anxiety. For many students, just being in a workshop with other sufferers made them feel better. They realized that they were not the only ones who had done poorly on tests because of tension. The workshops were so successful that they are still given. In the workshops, students are taught that anxiety is normal. You just have to prevent it from getting the best of you. The first step is to learn to relax. If before or during an examination you start to panic, stretch as hard as you can, tensing the muscles in your arms and legs; then suddenly relax all of them. This will help relieve tension. But keep in mind that you don't want to be too relaxed. Being completely relaxed is no better than being too tense. "If you are so calm you don't care how you do on an examination, you won't do well," Trimble says. "There is an optimum level of concern when you perform at your best. Some stress helps. There are people who can't take even slight stress. They have to learn that in a challenging situation, being anxiously excited is good and will help them to do better. But if they call it anxiety and say, 'It's going to hit me again, ' that will make them nervous and worried." As a student you must also realize that if you leave too much studying until a day or two before the examination, you can't do the impossible and learn it all. Instead, concentrate on what you can do and try to think what questions are likely to be asked and what you can do in the time left for studying. When you sit down to study, set a moderate pace and vary it by reading, writing notes, and going over any papers you have already written for the course, as well as the textbooks and notes you took in class. Review what you know. Take breaks and go to sleep early enough to get a good night's rest before the exam. You should also eat a moderate breakfast or lunch, avoiding drinks like coffee and stay away from fellow students who get tense. Panic spreads easily. Get to the exam room a few minutes early so that you will have a chance to familiarize yourself with the surroundings and get out your supplies. When the examination is handed out, read the directions twice and underline the significant instructions, making sure you understand them. Ask the teacher to explain if you don't. First answer the easiest questions, then go back to the more difficult. On essay questions, instead of starting right away, take a few minutes to organize your thoughts, make a brief outline, and then start off with a summary sentence. Keep working steadily, and even when time starts to run out, don't speed up.
16Dr Trimble often heard students say that ____
A.their mind failed to work when faced with a test
B.they had difficulty focusing on the test items
C.they could not think of a way to get rid of test anxiety
D.they began panicking well ahead of a test
17The author suggests that before a test ____.
A.you shouldav6id staying with a fellow student who suffers test anxiety
B.you should not think that you will be affected by your fellow student's anxiety
C.you should get together with other sufferers of test anxiety in order to feel better
D.you should eat a big meal and drink some coffee to keep yourself in high spirits
18In Trimble's workshop the students learned ____.
A.how to avoid being controlled by test anxiety
B.that test anxiety is normal and would go away in time
C.certain mental exercises that would help them relax
D.how to concentrate on what they could do
19We learn from the passage that test anxiety ____.
A.affects a small number of people
B.can lead to physical discomfort
C.can have a negative effect on a person's eyesight
D.often affects those who are physically weak
20According to the passage, being completely relaxed before a test ____
A.helps a student to perform better in the test
B.can also be harmful to a person's performance in the test
C.helps a student to cope with a challenging situation better
D.may be more harmful than getting too worried over tests

Then the young actor or actress takes up work with a repertory company, usually as an assistant stage manager. This means doing everything that there is to do in the theatre: painting scenery, looking after the furniture, publicity, taking care of the costumes, and even acting in very small parts. It is very hard work indeed, the hours are long and the salary is tiny. But young actors with the stage in their blood are happy, waiting for the chance of work with a better company, or perhaps in films or television. Of course, some people have remarkable chances which lead to fame and success without this long and tedious training. Connie Pratt, for example, was just an ordinary girl working in a bicycle factory. A film producer happened to catch sight of her one morning waiting at a bus stop, as he drove past in his big car. He told the chauffeur to stop, and he got out to speak to the girl. He asked her if she would like to go to the film studio to do a test, and at first she thought he was joking. Then she got angry and said she would call the police. It took t he producer twenty minutes to convince Connie that he was serious. Then an appointment was made for her to go to the studio the next day. The test was successful. They gave her elocution lessons and within a few weeks she was playing the leading part opposite one of the most famous actors of the day. Of course, she was given a more dramatic name, which is now world-famous. But chances like this happen once in a blue moon!

37.[阅读理解]A nurse and her elderly uncle were waiting for a bus at a corner in downtown Chicago. Buses came by, but not the one they wanted. The woman finally half-entered one of the buses and asked the driver if the bus she wanted stopped at that corner. The driver ignored her, so she repeated the question. Incredibly, he then closed the door -- on her arm -- and drove off. The woman, her arm stuck in the door, trotted alongside the bus, shouting. Passengers said the driver stopped after almost a block only because they, too, were shouting. When the driver finally did stop and opened the door, the woman jumped on the bus to get his badge number. Then he took off again and went another couple of blocks before other shouting passengers persuaded him to stop and let the woman off. After the driver's bosses at the Chicago Transit Authority--a tax-supported governmental body -- heard of the incident, they looked into it and set his punishment: a five-day suspension without pay. That struck me as rather light. But Bill Baxa, a CTA public-relations man, said, "That's a pretty harsh penalty. " Five days off work is a harsh penalty for dragging a woman alongside a bus by her arm? Baxa said, "Any time you take money away from someone, it is a harsh punishment. The driver makes $14 an hour. Multiply that by 40 and you can see what he lost. " Yes, that comes to $560, a tidy sum. But we know that people in the private sector are fired for far less every day. If the people who run the CTA think that the loss of a week's pay is more than enough, I offer them a sporting proposition: Give me a bus. Then have their wives stick their arms in the doorway of the bus, and I'll slam the door shut, stop the gas pedal and take them for a fast one-block jog. And I'll pay $560 to anyone who is bold enough to try it. Any takers? Mr. Baxa? Anybody? I didn't think so.
6The reason why the woman trotted alongside the bus was that____.
A.she couldn't get herself away from the bus
B.the driver closed the door before she heard the answer
C.she was dragged by the bus driver
D.she wanted to get the driver's badge number
7Why did the author offer a sporting proposition? ____
A.Because the CTA paid little attention to the incident.
B.Because the bus driver had not been fired.
C.Because he wanted to threaten the CTA people.
D.Because he thought the penalty was not a harsh on
8How many blocks was the woman away from the corner where she waited when the bus driver finally let her off? ____
A.Almost one block.
B.Almost two blocks.
C.Probably three blocks.
D.Probably five or six blocks.
9The nurse half-entered one of the buses because____.
A.the bus they wanted didn't stop there

38.[阅读理解]Your Bean Steak (素肉排), Sir! What sort of food are we likely to be eating in the year 2000? Most people, when you ask them a question like that, either say: " There won't be any left, " or "Whatever it is, there won't be much taste in it. " Of course, there are good reasons for being worried about the world's food supplies in the future. Nevertheless, not all the experts share these worries. For one thing, although the world's population is rising fast, food production is keeping pace with it, even in developing countries. It is therefore argued that the main reason why people are hungry is not that there is a world food shortage but that methods of cultivation are not sufficiently advanced in some areas and the food is not fairly distributed ( 分配 ). This does not mean, however, that our diet ( 饮食 ) will go on being the same. In many industrialized countries, people feed animals with grain to produce high-quality beef, even though the grain would feed the human population, and use fishmeal to fatten pigs to improve the quality of bacon. While not many of us would like fishmeal for lunch, its nutritional value is high and the unattractive fish it is made from can be presented to the public in colorful packets of fish fingers. By the year 2000, many of these problems will have been solved. Scientists are already capable of making steaks from soy beans. It is quite obvious that there will still be enough to eat, if we are not too particular about where the food comes from and what it is made of.
11The reason why people are hungry in today's world is ____.
A.poor farming methods and bad distribution
B.food shortages all across the world
C.fast rising population
D.slow growth of food production
12The title of this passage suggests that ____.
A.science is making rapid progress
B.there will be worldwide food shortages
C.food in the future will be tasteless
D.diet in the future will be very different
13The word "bacon" in Line 5, Para. 3 most probably is ____.
A.meat made from pigs
B.meat made from fish
C.a kind of "meat" made from grain
D.food for fish
14Most people believe that food supplies in the future ____.
A.will be much better than they are today
B.will become a very serious problem
C.will be enough in quantity but not good in quality
D.will be the same as they are today
15The word "particular" in Line 4, Para. 4 means ____.

39.[阅读理解]Reading time: 7 1/2 minutes Learning to Keep Your Cool During Tests Have you ever felt so anxious during an examination that you couldn't even put down the answers you knew? If so, you were suffering from what is known as test anxiety. According to psychologist Ralph Trimble, test anxiety is a very real problem for many people. When you're worried over your performance on an exam, your heart beats faster and your pulse speeds up. These reactions start others: You may sweat more than normal or suffer from a stomachache or headache. Your field of vision narrows and becomes tunnel-like. Before you know it, you're having difficulty focusing. "What I hear students say over and over again," says Dr. Trimble, who is working at the Psychological and Counseling Center at the University of Illinois, "is, 'My mind went blank.'" For a number of years, Dr. Trimble helped many students learn how to perform better during exams and to bring up their grades. Some of these students were interested in sharing what they learned and, with Trimble's help, began holding workshops on overcoming test anxiety. For many students, just being in a workshop with other sufferers made them feel better. They realized that they were not the only ones who had done poorly on tests because of tension. The workshops were so successful that they are still given. In the workshops, students are taught that anxiety is normal. You just have to prevent it from getting the best of you. The first step is to learn to relax. If before or during an examination you start to panic, stretch as hard as you can, tensing the muscles in your arms and legs; then suddenly relax all of them. This will help relieve tension. But keep in mind that you don't want to be too relaxed. Being completely relaxed is no better than being too tense. "If you are so calm you don't care how you do on an examination, you won't do well," Trimble says. "There is an optimum level of concern when you perform at your best. Some stress helps. There are people who can't take even slight stress. They have to learn that in a challenging situation, being anxiously excited is good and will help them to do better. But if they call it anxiety and say, 'It's going to hit me again, ' that will make them nervous and worried." As a student you must also realize that if you leave too much studying until a day or two before the examination, you can't do the impossible and learn it all. Instead, concentrate on what you can do and try to think what questions are likely to be asked and what you can do in the time left for studying. When you sit down to study, set a moderate pace and vary it by reading, writing notes, and going over any papers you have already written for the course, as well as the textbooks and notes you took in class. Review what you know. Take breaks and go to sleep early enough to get a good night's rest before the exam. You should also eat a moderate breakfast or lunch, avoiding drinks like coffee and stay away from fellow students who get tense. Panic spreads easily. Get to the exam room a few minutes early so that you will have a chance to familiarize yourself with the surroundings and get out your supplies. When the examination is handed out, read the directions twice and underline the significant instructions, making sure you understand them. Ask the teacher to explain if you don't. First answer the easiest questions, then go back to the more difficult. On essay questions, instead of starting right away, take a few minutes to organize your thoughts, make a brief outline, and then start off with a summary sentence. Keep working steadily, and even when time starts to run out, don't speed up.
16Dr Trimble often heard students say that ____
A.their mind failed to work when faced with a test
B.they had difficulty focusing on the test items
C.they could not think of a way to get rid of test anxiety
D.they began panicking well ahead of a test

B.you should not think that you will be affected by your fellow student's anxiety
C.you should get together with other sufferers of test anxiety in order to feel better
D.you should eat a big meal and drink some coffee to keep yourself in high spirits

A.how to avoid being controlled by test anxiety
B.that test anxiety is normal and would go away in time
C.certain mental exercises that would help them relax
