2004级新视野1级英语试题

On a practical level, teachers need a wide variety of skills and abilities. They have to be ready to spend many hours at home planning their lessons and preparing homework. They have to be well organized in class, patient with students, able to appear bright and interested even if they are in fact tired or unhappy, and lively enough to control a group of young people for almost 200 days a year. Outside the classroom, they may have to prepare teaching materials, to choose books to use as texts, to help organize the work of other teachers, or to organize spare time activities for students.

If you think that you have all the necessary qualities, you may feel that you would like to be a teacher. One way to decide, if you live in the United States, is by joining a club for future teachers, such as Student Action for Education. Clubs like this give advice about your field, and also allow you to watch teachers at work, attend meetings and experiment with teaching methods and equipment. You could also talk with the job advisor at your school or university. Finally, you could try teaching a younger student or becoming an advisor at a summer camp for children. Any activity in which you are dealing with children will help you decide whether you have a calling for teaching.

16. The first paragraph is mainly about ________.

A) various skills and abilities teachers need

B) how to help organize the work of other teachers C) how to plan lessons and prepare homework D) how to prepare teaching materials

17.The second paragraph is mainly concerned with ________.

A) the ways of deciding one's future employment

B) the ways to decide whether teaching should be one's future employment C) joining a club for future teachers

18. According to the author, a teacher should show a firm mind ________.

Passage 2

The earth is not the only body that travels around the sun. With it are eight other planets (行星), fellow members of the sun's family.

Two of them are nearer while the other six are farther from the sun than the earth is. The farther they are, the longer trips they make around the sun. People noticed long ago that these traveling bodies moved around in the sky in fixed paths. It is a force called gravity (重力) that holds them in their paths.

We know that every little bit of matter in the universe (宇宙) pulls upon every other bit of matter. Because the sun is so large, the pulls between the sun and the planets are thus great. If it were not for these pulls, the planets would fly off into space. In the same way there exists a pull between the earth and the moon, which keeps the moon traveling in its orbit (轨道) around our planet, the earth. Gravity holds you to the earth’s surface, and pulls back to it the ball which you throw into the air. Of course, the ball also pulls on the larger earth but the earth is so much larger that the pull is not noticed.

Now remember that large bodies bring to bear a greater pull on any body than smaller ones which contain less material. But each object in the universe, no matter how small, pulls on all other objects to some degree.

21. The earth is __________ in the sun family.

A) one of the nine fellow members B) bigger than two of the other bodies C) smaller than the other bodies D) nearer than two fellow members 22. These traveling bodies __________.

A) make much longer trips when they travel around the sun B) have the same traveling paths C) have their paths changed a bit

D) move along certain paths around the sun

23. The gravity of every matter in the universe __________.

A) works B) makes it fly off into space C) keeps the object traveling D) holds it to the surface 24. The pull makes the ball __________.

A) you throw into the air fall back to the earth B) go up into the sky C) fly around the body D) none of the above - 4 -

25. Which of the following is TRUE?

A) The smaller matters fly off into space. B) We do not notice the pull of the moon.

C) The larger the bodies are, the greater their pull is.

D) The moon travels around the earth because it's nearer to the earth than the other fellow members in the sun's family.

Passage 3

What makes Americans spend nearly half their food dollars on meals away from home? The answers lie in the way Americans live today. During the first few decades of the twentieth century, canned and convenience foods freed the family cook from full-time duty at the kitchen range. Then, in the 1940s, work in the wartime plants took more women out of the home than ever before, setting the pattern of the working wife and mother.

Today about half of the country’s married women are employed outside the home. But, unless family members pitch in with food preparation, women are not fully liberated from that chore. Instead many have become, in a sense, prisoners of the completely cooked convenience meal. It is easier to pick up a bucket of fried chicken on the way from work or t take family out for pizzas, or burgers than to start opening cans or heating up frozen dinners after a long, hard day.

Also, the rising divorce rate means that there are more single working parents with children to feed. And many young adults and elderly people, as well as unmarried and divorced mature people, live alone rather than as part of a family unit and don’t want to bother cooking for one. Fast food is appealing because it is fast, it doesn’t require any dressing up, it offers a “fun” break.

26. American women left home to work in large numbers because of_________. A) the improved living standard B) the need of wartime industry C) the increase in food price

D) the modernization of the kitchen

27. The phrase “pitch in” in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to_________. A) “offer help and support” B) “eat with good appetite” C) “offer compliment” D) “disagree with”

28. What is a working mother’s best choice if she does not have time to prepare dinner for the family according to the passage?

A) Making a meal out of canned food.

B) Taking the family to dinner at a pizza place.

C) Buying some chicken on the way home and frying it. - 5 -
