old. But there can be disadvantages to being so clever. Members of American Mensa are three times more likely than the general public to suffer from allergies (過敏) or depression (抑郁), and they are almost six times more likely to struggle with anxiety. These are just some of the physical and emotional problems that gifted children in particular may face. Noticing those children is important, but many of them are being missed. To find out gifted children, you actually have to look for them in all places. The benefits can be huge when those lost Einsteins are found. A study has been observing 5,000 gifted people since 1972. All of the children had test scores high enough to get into university when they were just 13. In adulthood, the first 1,650 people went on to publish 85 books, more than 7,500 articles.

Watch a good teacher, and you will see that he doesn39。t 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. There are very important differences between the teacher39。s work and the actor39。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(預(yù)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 take an active part in his play: they ask and answer questions, they obey orders, and if they don39。t understand anything, they say so. The teacher can39。t learn his part by heart, but must invent it as he goes along. I have known many teachers who are fine actors in class but are unable to take part in a stageplay because they can39。t keep strictly to what another has written.(1)From the passage, we know______. good teacher should be a good actor. good teacher may be unable to act well on the stage. good actor should be a good teacher. good actor may act well in class.(2)Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage? good teacher should speak clearly. good teacher should sit still before his class and speak with his body language. good actor should speak as others have asked him to do. good actor should repeat exactly the same words each time he plays a certain part.(3)The skills of a good teacher are ______ . his students39。 attention. his voice when needed. out what he is teaching. the above.(4)The title (標題)of the passage is ______. to be a good teacher. to be a good actor. good teacher39。s knowledge. good actor39。s behavior.【答案】 (1)B(2)B(3)D(4)A 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說明文,介紹了教師職業(yè)與演員職業(yè)的異同。 (1)考查細節(jié)理解。根據(jù)最后一段中的“I have known many teachers who are fine actors in class but are unable to take part in a stageplay because they can39。t keep strictly to what another has written.”我認識許多老師,他們在課堂上是很好的演員,但在舞臺劇中卻表演不好,因為他們不能嚴格遵守別人提前寫好的內(nèi)容,可知,一個好老師不一定在表演臺上能表演好。故選B。 (2)考查細節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第二段中的“Watch a good teacher, and you will see that he doesn39。t sit still before his class。 he stands the whole time he is teaching”看一個好老師,你會看到他常常不會靜靜地在教室前邊坐著,他在教授的整節(jié)課上都會站著,可知,一個好老師不應(yīng)該就在班級前坐著,所以選項B描述不正確。故選B。 (3)考查細節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第一段可知,要成為一名優(yōu)秀的教師,你需要具備某些好演員的天賦。你必須能hold住觀眾(學(xué)生)的注意力和興趣點。語言要清晰,聲音要宏亮、悅耳,而且收放自如。.而且為了讓你所傳授的東西更好地被理解,你應(yīng)該能把你它表演出來。,故選D。 (4)考查主旨大意。本文第一段提出了做一名好老師應(yīng)該具有的天賦,以及通過與演員職業(yè)對比,說明做老師與做演員的差異。文章從前到后都在告訴我們?nèi)绾尾拍艹蔀橐幻美蠋?。故選A。 【點評】本題考點涉及細節(jié)理解和主旨大意兩個題型的考查,是一篇文化類閱讀,考生需要準確掌握細節(jié)信息,并根據(jù)上下文的邏輯關(guān)系,進行概括和歸納,從而選出正確答案。10.閱讀理解 Swimming in the water of Hawaii39。s Big Island is a fun experience. But it can be more exciting if there are dolphins swimming around and jumping out of the sea too. For many people, it would be a wonderful dream to swim with these lovely animals! However, this may not be good for dolphins. They may get hurt because of human interaction (互動). Dolphins are active and usually look for food at night. In the day, they like to rest in shallow bays(淺灣). Many people think the
