Both use actors and dialogue and scenery. But if you try to make a film by setting up a camera in front of the stage, you will find it won’t work. A film made in this way will leave the audience cold. An d even worse you’ll b3e wasting a powerful tool --- the camera.A stage is actually a box. One side of the box has been removed so the audience can see what’s going on inside. The actors remain at a fixed audience. In the film, however, the camera can bring the audience up close and fix their attention on small but important things: a frightened look, a whisper, a trembling of hands.The camera offers the film maker freedom allowing him to move easily across barriers(界限) of time and space. He can show his action in real cities and on real farms. He can also use the camera to change the scene dozens of times in one film. No expert of the stage can do this.36. The main idea of the text is that ________ .A. stage plays and films are two different kinds of artB. it is always disappointing to turn play into filmsC. films have certain advantages(长处) over stage playsD. the camera has made film making easy and possible37.

And usually, red rose is a sign of love.Usually we nod to express our agreement and shake our heads to show disapproval. To our heads to show disapproval.

One step is to make sure that the house seems a lived-in one. Living room curtains should be pulled down only half-way. Bedrooms that usually have the curtains pulled down at night should be left down . Another is to make sure that all outside locks are the dead-bolt type (双保险) . Still another is to leave several 100W lights burning and make sure that one is in the kitchen. Lights that turned on and off by themselves are the best. Then, too, it is a good idea to leave the radio turned on and setto a talking station. Any type of speaking makes a thief think twice before trying to enter. Finally, while away on holiday, make sure that nothing collects in front or in the house. Particularly, make certain that the newspaper is stopped and thata trusted neighbour has been asked to pick up the mail. Thieves are especially quick to notice piled-up newspapers and overpiled mail boxes.36. Why did the writer begin this piece with question?A. Because he wanted to catch the readers' attention.B. Because he wanted to have the readers guess the answer before reading.C. Because he wanted to sum up (概括) the topic of the piece.D. Because he wanted to make the readers understand him better.37. The word "live-in" in this passage means ______________.A. left emptyB. lively and cheerfulC. now being used by peopleD. laid inside38. What does the writer advise the people to do?A. Ask a neighbour to pick up the daily mailB. Make sure to have lights that turn on and off by themselves.C. Make sure the newspaper is handed over every day.D. Pull the living room curtains down.39. The most important room to leave a light burning in is the _________.A. bedroomB. kitchenC. living roomD. sitting-room( B )Mr Richards has worked in a small seaside town for about ten years and he and his wife have a comfortable house near the sea.During the winter they would be quite happy, but every summer a lot of their relatives used to spend holiday in their house , and it was much cheaper than staying in hotel . Finally one day in June Mr Richards complained to a clever friend of his who lived in the same place. "One of my wife's cousins is going to bring her husband and children and spend ten days with us next month again. How have you prevented all your relatives from coming to live with you in summer ?" "Oh,"the friend answered, "that is not difficult. I just borrow money from all the rich ones, and lend it to all the poor ones. After that,they seldom come again." Hearing this Mr Richards smiled.40. The relatives preferred to stay in Mr Richards' house because _____________.A. it was cool in summerB. they might spend less moneyC. they were more welcomeD. it was a comfortable place41. According to his friend's opinion, the poor relatives would stop going there so oftenbecause ________ .A. they were shy to borrow money againB. hey were afraid to be asked to pay off the debtsC. they had been ill-treatedD. it wasn't happy for the poor to meet the rich42. The best title for this passage is ___________.A. Such a Clever FriendB. Mr Richards and his FriendC. Money is ImportantD. Such Good Usage of Money43. After reading the passage we can infer _____________.A. Mr Richards still complains about the coming of his relatives in summerB. The friend of Mr Richards' hadn't as many relatives as RichardsC. Gradually Mr Richards succeeded in keeping his relatives out in summerD. sNone of Richards' relatives came to the seaside town for their holidays again( C )I wonder why American towns looks so much alike that I sometimes mix them up in my memory. The standard influence(影响)of massproduction whose agents(代理商)are the travellingsalesman, the mail-order house, the five-and-ten cent stores, the chain stores, the movies can hardly explain it. If you stay two days in Bologna and in Ferrare, or in Arles and in Avignon, you will never mix them up in all your life. But it may well happen that after you spend two days in St.Louis and in Kansas City the appearances of these two cities soon mix up. I think the reason for this is that these towns have not yet had time enough to develop their own characters. Similarly, children are much less different from each other than grown people.44. Which two of the following towns look so much alike?A. Bologna and FerrareB. Arles and AvignonC. St. Louis and Kansas CityD. Bologna and St. Louis45. In line 4 the word "it" refers to ____________.A. standard of townsB. similarity of townsC. people's memoryD. mass production46. American towns look very much alike because of ____________.A. the standard influence of mass productionB. their different appearancesC. not being fully developedD. having everything in common( D )Millions of stars are travelling about in space. A few form groups which journey together, but most of them travel alone.And they travel through a universe so large that one star seldom comes near to another. For the most part each star makes its journey in complete loneliness, like a ship on an empty ocean. The ship will be well over a million miles from its nearest neighbor. From this it is easy to understand why a star seldom finds another anywhere neat it.We believe, however, that some two thousand million years ago, another star wandering(漫游) through space, happened to comenear our sun, Just as the sun and the moon raise tides(潮汐)on the earth, so this star must have raised tides on the surface of the sun .But they were very different from the small tides that are raised in our oceans; a large tidal wavemust have travelled over the surface of the sun, at last forming a mountain so high that we cannot imagine it. As the cause of the disturbance(动荡) came nearer, so the mountain rose higher and higher. And before the star began to move away again,its tidal pull had become so powerful that this mountain was torn to pieces and threw off small parts of itself into space. These small pieces have been going round the sun ever since. They are the planets(⾏星).47. Millions of stars are _______________.A. following a regular path in spaceB. moving about without a fixed courseC. seldom wandering about in the universeD. always travelling together48. Some two thousand million years ago, the mountain on the sun was raised probably because__________.A. a large tidal wave of a star travelled over the surface of the sunB. another star happened to come near the sunC. the sun and the moon raised the tides on the earthD. the star moved away from the sun49. The article suggests that _____________ .A. our earth exists before the sunB. how space formedC. no one knows where the earth comes fromD. our earth used to be a high mountain on the sun50. The expression "the cause of the disturbance" refers to _________.A. the large tidal waveB. the powerful tidal pullC. the star coming near the sunD. one of the sun's planets51. In this article, the writer mainly wants to tell the readers __________.A. that the universe is so large that we cannot imagine itB. how the high mountains were formed on the sunC. why the tides over the surface of the sun were so powerfulD. where the planets in the universe came from( E )Contacts(交往) between Japan and the rest of the world have grown a great deal in the twentieth century. In the last thirty years, business contacts between Japan and the West have become very important. Many foreign companies now have offices inJapan and Japanese businessmen do business around the world.Differences between Japanese and Western ways of doing business, however, often bewilder the foreign businessman and makedoing business in Japan difficult for foreigners.The American businessman, for example , wants of start talking business immediately . He wants quick decisions. He does notwait. The Japanese, on the other hand , likes to arrive at decisions gradually after giving them a great deal of thought. Another thing foreign businessmen have difficulty in understanding is when a Japanese means "Yes" or "No". This is becauseof cultural difference for a J a p a n e s e t o s a y " N o " d i r e c t l y . b r > I n E n g l i s h , i t i s e a s y t o s a y " N o " t o s o m e t h i n g w e d o n o t w a n t t o d o .

全国英语等级考试二级模拟训练附答案全国英语等级考试二级模拟训练附答案The failures and reverses which await men - and one after another sadden the brow of youth - add a dignity to the prospect of human life, which no Arcadian success would do. 以下是店铺为大家搜索整理的全国英语等级考试二级模拟训练附答案，希望能给大家带来帮助!Proper an-angement of classroom space is important to encouraging interaction. Most of us have noticed how important physical setting is to efficiency and comfort when we work. Today' s corporations hire human engineering specialists and spend a great deal of time and money to make sure that the physical environments of buildings are fit to the activities of their inhabitants.Similarly, college classroom space should be designed to encourage the activity of critical thinking. We will move into the twenty-first century, but step into almost any college classroom and you will step back in time at least a hundred years. Desks are normally in straight rows, so students can clearly see the teacher but not all their classmates. The assumption behind such an arrangement is obvious:everything important comes from the teacher.With a imagination and effort, unless desks are fixed to the floor, the teacher can correct this situation and create space that encourages interchanges among students. In small or standard sized classes, chairs, desks and tables can be arranged in different ways: circles, U-shapes, or semicircles. The primary goal should be for everyone to be able to see everyone else. Larger classes, particularly those held i.n lecture halls, unfortunately, allow muchless flexibility.Arrangement of the classroom should also make it easy to divide students into small groups for discussion or problem-solving exercises. Small classes with malleable desks and tables present no problem. Even in large lecture halls, it is possible for students to turn around and form groups of four to six. Breaking a class into small groups provides more opportunities for students to interact with each other, think out hard, and see how other students' thinking processes operate--all these are the most important elements in developing new modes of critical thinking.In courses that regularly use a small group format, students might be asked to stay in the same small groups throughout the course. A colleague of mine allows students to move around during the first two weeks, until they find a group they are comfortable with. He then asks them to stay in the same seat, with the same group, from then on. This not only creates a comfortable setting for in teraction but helps him learn students' names and faces.46. The expression "step back in time at least a hundred years" ( Para. 2 ) is intended to convey the idea that_________ [ A] college classrooms often remind people of their college lifeB. critical thinking was encouraged even a century agoC. a hundred years ago, desk arrangement in a classroom was quite differentD.there is not much change in the college educational idea over the past hundred years47. The primary purpose of desk rearrangement is_________A. for the teacher to divide students into small groupsB. to make it possible for students to interact with each otherC. for the teacher to find out how students thinkD.to give students more opportunities to practice speaking48. The greatest advantage in allowing each student to find his own group might be that_________A. the teacher saves the trouble in doing that ——B. learning is made comfortable in this wayC. the teacher can easily remember students' names and facesD.brighter students can help slower ones49. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A. New kind of desks and chairs should be made.B. Many companies are trying to improve the working settings for their employees.C. Classroom interaction between students is essential to the training of critical thinkingD.A comfortable environment leads to higher working efficiency.50. Which of the following arrangements of the classroom can bring about the best teaching effect?A. Arranging the desks in straight rows and providing every minute for the students to listen to the teacher.B. Breaking a class into small groups and letting the students find the group they prefer to stay in.C. Putting the students in larger classes and allowing them to discuss.D.Breaking a class into small groups and asking the students to stay in the fixed groups as the teacher arranges.参考译文教室空间的合理布局对促进学生之间的互动是很重要的。
