27、hreeToday the game reserves （ 猎物保护区 ）of East Africa are facing a number of threats. Al though they earn considerable revenue （ 收入 ）by attracting tourists, they take up land which is increasingly sought by the local people. While these reserves feed and protect animals, they are in danger of turning

28、into barren areas or deserts. Trees, shrubs and grass are gradually being eaten by grazing hems.Another problem is to be found in the changing attitudes of the animals themselves. Many of them are losing their hereditary（ 天生的 ）fear of man. In this way they may become a danger to visitors and thus to

29、 themselves. Attacks on vehicles are beginning to increase, and it is possible that the problems will become serious in a few years time.The problem of shortage of land is not a simple one. As the population increases, more and more people look hungrily at the land set aside for game reserves. They

30、claim that a Government s first duty is to its inhabitants and not to tourists or to wild animals. Despite the income obtained from tourism, this is an argument which it is difficult to answer satisfactorily.11. The best title of this passage is D_ .A. problems Facing East African TouristsB.

35、n which we live today, a man may be one thing but appear to be another. This was impossible in Indian society. An Indians name told the world what he was - a coward, a liar, a thief, or a brave.When I was young, every Indian had at least three names during his lifetime. His first name was given to h

36、im at birth. It described something that had happened at that time.Each Indian was supposed to keep his birth name until he was old enough to earn money for himself. But his friends would always give him a name of their own. No matter what his parents called him, his childhood friends would use the

37、name they had chosen.The Indian earned his real name when he was old enough for his first fight against the enemy, his life name depended on how he acted during this first battle. When he returned he would be given his tribal name by the chief. If he had done well, he would be given a good name. But

38、 if he had done poorly, he might be given a bad name.A man was given many chances to improve his name, however. If in a later battle he was ver y brave in fighting against the enemy, he was given a better name. Some Indians had as many as twelve names - all good and each better than the last.All nam

39、es given to one Indian belonged to him for the rest of his life. No one else could use them. Even he himself could not give them away. This was because no man could pass on his name unless the chief and the tribe asked him to do so.16. According to the passage, Indian names were important because th

40、ey _A_.A. described the character of a manD. described the appearance of a manC. were never used by other peopleB. told us his profession17. _C gave the second name of an Indian.A. The chiefB.

The sentence in the sixth paragraph ” no one could pass on his name may mean that _B.A. n

42、o one could change his name by himself B. no one could give his name to a sonC. no one could give his name awayD. no one could give up his namePassage FiveTo be a good teacher, you need some of the gifts of a good actor: you must be able to hold the attention of your audience; you must be a clever s

43、peaker, 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.The fact that a good teacher has some of the gifts of a actor doesnt mean that he will indeed be able to act well on the stage, for the

44、re are very important differences between the teachers work and actors. 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

45、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 dont understand something, they say no. The teache

46、r therefore has to suit his act to the needs of his audience, which is his class. He cannot learn his part by heart, but must invent it as he goes along.21.
