单选题What personal qualities are desirable in a teacher? Probably no two people would write exactly similar lists, but I think the following would be (31) accepted. Firstly, a teacher should be pleasantly (32) and attractive. This does not rule out people who are not good-looking or even (33) , because many such have great personal (34) . But it (35) rule out such types as the over-excitable, dull, sad, cold-mannered, or any with other (36) qualities. Secondly, it is not only desirable but essential for a teacher to have real capacity for (37) —a capacity to understand the minds and thoughts of other people. Closely related with this is the capacity to be (38) —not indeed of what is wrong, but of weakness of human (39) which induces people, and especially children, to make mistakes. I find it essential for a teacher to be a bit of a(n) (40) . That is part of the technique of teaching, which demands that every now and then a teacher should put on an act to make his lesson interesting and (41) . Children, especially young children live in a world that is rather larger than life. A teacher must be capable of great (42) .This, I may say, is largely a matter of self-training. We are (43) of us born like that. Teaching (44) great demands on nervous energy and one should be able to take in (45) stride countless small irritation any adult dealing with children has to endure. Finally, I think a teacher should have the kind of mind which always wants to go on learning. Teaching is a job at which one will never be (46) ; there is always something more to learn about it. There are three main subjects of study: the subject or subjects which the teacher is teaching; the methods (47) the pupils can best be taught in the classes he is teaching; —by far the most important—the children, young people or adults whom he (48) teach. The two main principles of British education today are that education is of the (49) person, and that it is best acquired through full and active (50) between persons, the teacher and the learner.

单选题Rolling Stones The rock group, members Mick Jagger (1943 -) vocals, Keith Richards (1943 -) guitar, Bill Wyman (1936 -) bass, Charlie Watts (1941 -) drams, Ron Wood (1947 -) guitar, former member Brian Jones (1942 - 69) guitar, one of the longest-running and most successful popular music groups to emerge in the 1960s. They first performed together in 1962. At first, they were very much in the shadow of The Beatles, but their less boyish, more rebellious style together with their more aggressive music soon won them a large following. Although their uninhibited life styles and overtly sexual lyrics often hit the headlines, it was the excellence of their com- positions (usually by Jagger and Richard) that ensured their continuing success. Among their early hits were "The Last Time" and "Satisfaction". Later albums include Exile on Main Street (1972) and Tattoo You (1981).1964 The Rolling Stones1965 The Roiling Stones Now!1966 Big Hits (High Tide, Green Grass)1967 Between the Buttons1968 Beggars Banquet1969 Through the Past, Darkly (Big Hits, Vol. 2)1970 The Stones Detroit1971 Sticky Fingers1972 Exile On Main Street1973 Goat's Head Soup1974 It's Only Rock and Roll1975 Made in the Shade1975 Metamorphosis1976 Black and Blue1977 Love You Live1978 Some Girls1980 Emotional Rescue1981 Sucking in the Seventies1982 Still Life1983 Undercover1984 Rewind (1971-1984)1986 Dirty Work1989 Steel Wheels1991 Flashpoint1993 Jump Back: the Best of the Rolling Stones1994 Voodoo Lounge1995 Stripped1996 Rock and Roll Circus1997 Bridges to Babylon1998 No Security

单选题 Decide which of the choices given below would best complete the passage if inserted in the corresponding blanks. Mark the best choice for each blank on your ANSWER SHEET. Many critics consider that far more stress is placed on achievements in athletics than in the academic sphere. We're told that it's {{U}}(31) {{/U}} to compel boys with no athletic {{U}}(32) {{/U}} to spend hours of misery on the playground, when, if {{U}}(33) {{/U}} to themselves, they would occupy their time far more usefully in some {{U}}(34) {{/U}} hobby. The {{U}}(35) {{/U}} to this argument, no doubt, {{U}}(36) {{/U}} the simple assumption that every non-athlete has some good hobby. It's not true; {{U}}(37) {{/U}} even if it were, other hobbies are no substitute for being out, exercising the muscles and having {{U}}(38) {{/U}} with our human beings. {{U}} (39) {{/U}} the youthful idolizing of athletes, which tends to upset a boy's {{U}}(40) {{/U}} of values and may do {{U}}(41) {{/U}} harm to the objects of this hero-worship, {{U}}(42) {{/U}} a very different matter.The schoolboy {{U}}(43) {{/U}} may suffer through being surrounded at an early age with feint {{U}}(44) {{/U}} of artificial light. From preparatory school to university his career is a {{U}}(45) {{/U}} procession. Then he becomes a future legend, one of the great products of the school that is proud to call him her son although {{U}}(46) {{/U}} may have taught him nothing except to play football. Not until he hangs up his {{U}}(47) {{/U}} does he realize his true value--or the lack of it. It'd be better for everybody if this artificial glory were {{U}}(48) {{/U}} from games at an early stage. For some devotees, sport is kind of religion, the sporting spirit is the finest attitude to face life, since its possessor is very conscious of his obligation to the {{U}}(49) {{/U}}. The truth is that games have practically no effect on character. Games afford an opportunity for showing the spirit within; they are a {{U}}(50) {{/U}} for virtue or for vice. It's for this reason that we should value them.
