第二节 完形填空(共20小题，每题1.5分，共30分)

阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳答案。

In this modern world, we rush around all day, doing things, talking, sending and reading messages. We are always on, always connected, always thinking, always talking. There is no 36 for stillness.

And when we are 37 to be still because we’re in line for something, or waiting at a doctor’s appointment, or on a bus or train, we often 38 something to do. Some will play with mobile devices, others will read something. Being still isn’t something we’re 39 .

This comes at a 40 : we lose that time for 41 , for observing and listening. We lose peace.

And 42 yet: sometimes too much action is worse than no action at all. You can run around crazily, but get 43 done.

Take a moment to think about 44 you spend your days. Are you constantly rushing around? Are you constantly reading and answering 45 , checking on the news and the latest information? Are you always 46 through your schedule?

Is this how you want to spend your 47 ? If so, peace be with you. If not, take a moment to be 48 . Don’t think about what you have to do, or what you’ve done already. 49 be still in the moment.

Then after a minute or two of doing that, consider your life, and how you’d 50 it to be. See your life with less movement, less doing, less rushing. See it with more stillness, more consideration, more 51 .

Then be that vision.

It’s pretty simple: all you have to do is sit still for a little bit each day. 52 you have gotten used to that, try doing less each day. Breathe when you feel yourself moving too 53 . Slow down. Be present. Find happiness now, in this moment, instead of 54 for it.

55 the stillness. It is a treasure and it’s available to us, always.

36．A．place B．time C．room D．freedom

37．A．forced B．ordered C．invited D．told

第三部分? 阅读理解（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 A

To be a good teacher, you need some of the gifts of a good actor; you must be able to hold the attention and interest of your audience; you must be a clear speaker, with a good, strong, pleasing voice which is fully under your control; and you must be able to act what you are teaching, in order to make its meaning clear.

Watch a good teacher, and you will see that he does not 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. Listen to him, and you will hear the loudness, the quality and the musical note of his voice always changing according to what he is talking about.

The fact that a good teacher has some of the gifts of a good actor doesn’t mean that he will indeed be able to act well on the stage, for there are very important differences between the teacher’s work and the actor’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. 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 takes an active part in his play：they ask and answer questions, they obey orders, and if they don’t understand something, they say so. The teacher therefore has to meet the needs of his audience, which is his class. He cannot learn his part by heart, but must invent it as he goes along.

I have known many teachers who were fine actors in class but were unable to take part in a stage-play because they could not keep strictly to what another had written.

56. What is the passage mainly about?

A. The characteristics of a good teacher.

B. The characteristics of a good actor.

C. How to be a good teacher or a good actor

D.
