单选题Like most people, I've long understood that I will be judged by my occupation, that my profession is a gauge people use to see how smart or talented I am. Recently, however, I was disappointed to see that it also decides how I'm treated as a person. Last year I left a professional position as a small-town reporter and took a job waiting tables. As someone paid to serve food to people, I had customers say and do things to me I suspect they'd never say or do to their most casual acquaintances. One night a man talking on his cell phone waved me away, and then beckoned me back with his finger a minute later, complaining he was ready to order and asking where I'd been. I had waited tables during summers in college and was treated like a peon by plenty of people. But at 19 years old, I believed I deserved inferior treatment from professional adults. Besides, people responded to me differently after I told them I was in college. Customers would joke that one day I'd be sitting at their table, waiting to be served. Once I graduated I took a job at a community newspaper. From my first day, I heard a respectful tone from most everyone who called me. I assumed this was the way the professional world worked — cordially. I soon found out differently. I sat several feet away from an advertising sales representative with a similar name. Our calls would often get mixed up and someone asking for Kristen would be transferred to Christie. The mistake was immediately evident. Perhaps it was because money was involved, but people used a tone with Kristen that they never used with me. My job title made people treat me with courtesy. So it was a shock to return to the restaurant industry. It's no secret that there's a lot to put up with when waiting tables, and fortunately, much of it can be easily forgotten when you pocket the tips. The service industry, by definition, exists to cater to others' needs. Still, it seemed that many of my customers didn't get the difference between server and servant. I'm now applying to graduate school, which means someday I'll return to a profession where people need to be nice to me in order to get what they want. I think I'll take them to dinner first, and see how they treat someone whose only job is to serve them.

单选题Few modern travel writers excite more hostility and awe than Sir Wilfred Thesiger, who died in 2003. Despising the " drab uniformity of the modem world" , Sir Wilfred slogged across Africa and Asia, especially Arabia, on animals and on foot, immersing himself in tribal societies. He delighted in killing lions in Sudan in the years before the Second World War, Germans and Italians during it. He disliked "soft" living and "intrusive" women and revered murderous say ages, to whom he gave guns. He thought educating the working classes a waste of good servants. He kicked his dog. His journeys were more notable as feats of masochistic endurance than as exploration. Yet his first two books, Arabian Sands, about his crossing of the Empty Quarter, and The Marsh Arabs, about southern Iraq, have a terse brilliance about them. As records of ancient cultures on the point of oblivion, they are unrivalled. Sir Wilfred"s critics invariably sing the same chorus. They accuse him of hypocrisy, noting that his part-time primitive lifestyle required a private income and good connections to obtain travel permits.They argue that he deluded himself about the motives of his adored tribal companions. In Kenya, where he lived for two decades towards the end of his life, his Samburu "sons" are calculated to have fleeced him of at least one million dollars. Homosexuality, latent or otherwise, explains him, they conclude, pointing to the photographs he took of beautiful youths. This may all be true, but it does not diminish his achievements. Moreover he admits as much himself in his autobiography and elsewhere. In 1938, before his main travels, for example, Sir Wilfred wrote of his efforts to adopt foreign ways: "I don"t delude myself that I succeed but I get my interest and pleasure trying. " In this authorized biography, Alexander Maitland adds a little color to the picture, but no important details. He describes the beatings and sexual abuse the explorer suffered at his first boarding school. Quoting from Sir Wilfred"s letters, he traces the craggy traveler"s devotion to his dead father, his mother and three brothers. At times, Sir Wilfred sounds more forgiving, especially of friends, and more playful than his reputation has suggested. As for his sexuality, Mr. Maitland refers coyly to occasional "furtive embraces" , presumably with men. Wearisome as this topic has become, Mr. Maitland achieves nothing by skirting it; and his allusion to Sir Wilfred"s "almost too precious" relationship with his mother is annoyingly vague. There may be a reason why Mr. Maitland struggles for critical distance. He writes that he and Sir Wilfred were long-standing friends, but he fails to mention that he collaborated with the explorer on four of his books and later inherited his London flat. If Mr. Maitland found it so difficult to view his late friend and benefactor objectively, then perhaps he should not have tried. An earlier biography by Miehael Asher, who scoured the deserts to track down Sir Wilfred"s former fellow travelers, was better; Mr. Maitland seems to have interviewed almost nobody black or brown. His book is, however, a useful companion to the explorer"s autobiography, The Life of My Choice. Hopefully, it will also refer readers back to Sir Wilfred"s two great books, and to sentences as lovely as this; " Memories of that first visit to the Marshes have never left me: firelight on a half-turned face, the crying of geese, duck fighting in to feed, a boy"s voice singing somewhere in the dark, canoes moving in procession down a waterway, the setting sun seen crimson through the smoke of burning reed-beds, narrow waterways that wound still deeper into the Marshes. "

单选题The following passage has five paragraphs I — V. Choose the correct heading for each paragraph from the list of headings below. Note there are more headings than paragraphs, so you will not use them all. Write the correct number A — E on the answer sheet (10 points, 2 points each)List of Headings[A] Guess the invention and check[B] Make your own inventions[C] Sell the invention[D] Inventions presentations[E] Inventions for and against【R1】Paragraph I______【R2】Paragraph II______【R3】Paragraph Ⅲ______【R4】Paragraph V______【R5】Paragraph VI______Paragraph I The most fun and speaking-intensive way of tackling inventions is for students to make up their own in pairs or small groups and then present them to the class or try to sell them to their partner ( see below for details of those later stages) . You can add language and help give them ideas by giving them: -objects that they should invent replacements for -actions that they could make their invention do -words they could use to describe their invention (materials, shape, types of power, actions, positive adjectives, etc)Paragraph II Either with their own inventions or ones they have been given (pictures and/ or descriptions), students roleplay trying to sell them to each other. This can be made more involved and fun by giving them roleplay cards such as "You are very conservative and don't like anything new" , "The last thing that this sales representative sold to you was quickly discontinued" and "Price is the most important thing to you" .Paragraph Ⅲ As in real life, presenting inventions makes a lot of sense. This can be their own inventions, real inventions (including from the past or near future), or science fiction inventions. People listening can ask questions , argue that it won't be a good idea or work, or just vote at the end on who has the best idea (apart from their own).Paragraph IV Students read or listen to descriptions, perhaps from their classmate or teacher, and guess what invention is being talked about.Paragraph V Inventions is perhaps the best of all topics to do the TEFL classic of guessing things from the photo and then reading to check. This works best with very old inventions, prototypes of things coming up or inventions in science fiction that don't exist yet.Paragraph VI It can be quite amusing and a good test of their argumentative powers to get students to argue that inventions have made or are likely to make life worse, e. g. that the computer has made working life more intolerable. It is also possible to find articles and blog posts on this topic by searching the internet for topics such as "How mobile phones have made life worse". It's quite difficult to come up with opinions on inventions, so to make debates work it is generally a good idea to give them roles like "You distrust all technology" and "You work for the health and safety inspectorate".

单选题Film has properties that set it apart from painting, sculpture, novels, and plays. It is also, in its most popular and powerful form, a story telling medium that shares many elements with the short story and the novel. And since film presents its stories in dramatic form, it has even more in common with the stage play; Both plays and movies act out or dramatize, show rather than tell, what happens. Unlike the novel, short story, or play, however, film is not handy to study; it cannot be effectively frozen on the printed page. The novel and short story are relatively easy to study because they are written to be read. The stage play is slightly more difficult to study because it is written to be performed. But plays are printed, and because they rely heavily on the spoken word, imaginative readers can conjure up at least a pale imitation of the experience they might have been watching a performance on stage. This cannot be said of the screenplay, for a film depends greatly on visual and other nonvisual elements that are not easily expressed in writing. The screenplay requires so much "filling in" by our imagination that we cannot really approximate the experience of a film by reading a screenplay, and reading a screenplay is worthwhile only if we have already seen the film. Thus, most screenplays are published not to read but rather to be remembered. Still, film should not be ignored because studying it requires extra effort. And the fact that we do not generally "read" films does not mean we should ignore the principles of literary or dramatic analysis when we see a film. Literature and films do share many elements and communicate many things in similar ways. Perceptive film analysis rests on the principles used in literary analysis, and if we apply what we have learned in the study of literature to our analysis of films, we will be far ahead of those who do not. Therefore, before we turn to the unique elements of film, we need to look into the elements that film shares with any good story. Dividing film into its various elements for analysis is a somewhat artificial process, for the elements of any art form never exist in isolation. It is impossible, for example, to isolate plot from character; Events influence people, and people influence events; the two are always closely interwoven in any fictional, dramatic, or cinematic work. Nevertheless, the analytical method uses such a fragmenting technique for ease and convenience. But it does so with the assumption that we can study these elements in isolation without losing sight of their interdependence or their relationship to the whole.
