阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、D)中，选出最佳选项。

　　Besides this question of the time given to pronunciation，there are two other requirements for the teacher：the first，knowledge；the second，technique．

　　It is important that the teacher should be in possession of the necessary information．This can generally be go form books．It is possible to get from books some idea of the speech；and of what we call general phonetic rules．It is also possible in this way to get a clear mental picture of the relationship between the sounds of different languages，between the speech habits of English people and those，of your students．Unless the teacher has such a picture，any explanations he makes on his students'pronunciation are unlikely to be of much use，and lesson time spent on Pronunciation may well be wasted．

　　But it does not follow that you can teach pronunciation successfully as soon as you have read the necessary books．It depends，after that，what use you make of your knowledge；and this is a matter of technique．

　　Now the first and most important part of a language teacher's technique is his own performance，his ability to show off the spoken language，in every detail of sound as well as in fluent speaking，so that the student's ability for imitation is given the fullest space and encouragement．The teacher，then，should be as perfect a model in this field as he can make himself．And to make his own performance better，however satisfactory this may be，the modern teacher has in his hand recordings and a radio，to supply the real voices of native speakers，or，if the teacher happens to be a native speaker himself，or speaks just like one，then to change the method of presenting the language material．

　　However，the process of showing pronunciation，whether by personal ex-ample or with the help of machines，is only the beginning of teaching pronunciation．The technique of teaching each sound also needs to be considered．

1．How might the teacher find himself wasting lesson time？

[　　]

A．By spending lesson time on pronunciation．

B．Bu making ill-informed explanations upon pronunciation．

C．By not using books on phonetics in the classroom．

D．By not giving students a clear mental picture of the difference between

sounds．

2．Students have an ability for imitation which is________．

[　　]

A．plain and obvious

B．well developed

C．not yet developed

D．too weak to be useful

3．What is the main point the author makes about imitation of the teacher？

[　　]

A．It is a matter of secondary importance．

B．Students should be given every chance for it．

C．It depends on the student's ability．

D．Teachers are perfect models for students to imitate．

4．TO Someone teaching his own language to foreigners mechanical aids can________．

[　　]

A．improve his own performance

B．replace his own performance

C．provide examples of native speech

D．make his voice louder

5．Showing pronunciation is to be regarded as ________．

[　　]

A．a part of teaching pronunciation

B．an exercise of value in itself

C．an example of the use of mechanical aids

D．a technique for teaching separate sounds

On Jan. 3, a netizen（网民）nicknamed “Programmer Humor”published a short story on his micro-blog. It said that there was an old lady who swept nearly every inch of his Internet company. When she passed by a programmer, she took a look at the codes on the programmer’s computer and kindly reminded him, “Be careful, the stack is overfilled!”
Certainly, it is a casual and fictitious（虚构的）story made up by the micro-blogger. However, no one would have guessed that the short blog would eventually cause the first great Internet meme（网络快速爆红现象） of 2011 in China. Suddenly, the mysterious “Sweeping Old Lady” is showing up nearly everywhere and reminding professionals of their mistakes. From 8 a. m. on Jan. 5, some netizens collected stories of the “Sweeping Old Lady” and found she had appeared to give advice in 150 kinds of careers. A netizen even said he had met with a similar situation in real life.
Actually, the “Sweeping Old Lady” is not new figure, but is based on the “sweeping monk （和尚）”in Louis Cha’s famous Kung fu novel of “Tian Long Ba Bu”. The “sweeping monk” is an old monk and does the lowest class of work in Shaolin Temple, but he is actually the No. 1 master in the noel both in Kung fu and in the study of Buddhism.
The “Sweeping Old Lady” is also a great modest master. Lots of netizens wish that they could have such a lady beside them to give them precious suggestions at a key time.
Although there may be 1,000 “Sweeping Old Ladies” in 1,000 people’s minds, it cannot prevent the “Sweeping Old Lady” from becoming the most popular figure on the Internet.
“Programmer Humor” said he is just a programmer in the real world and once he saw the story about the “Sweeping Old Lady,” he wrote it down in his micro-blog because it was funny. He never knew who the original writer of the story was and never thought the story could be so popular.

New research shows that overweight or even mildly obese people have a lower risk of early death than people considered to be normal weight.

Researchers examined the results of 97 studies. Most of the studies were less than 10 years old. They included almost three million adults from around the world, including the United States, Canada, China, Taiwan, Brazil, India and Mexico.

The researchers at the National Center for Health Statistics found that people who are considered overweight or slightly obese were five to six percent less likely to die from all causes than people of normal weight. People with higher obesity ratings, however, had almost a 30 percent greater risk of death compared to normal-weight individuals.

Katherine Flegal was the lead author of the study. She says she was not surprised that overweight people would not have a higher risk of death.

“Because we’d actually already read a lot of this literature and realized it was likely that mortality rates (死亡率) for overweight would be at least not higher than normal weight. I guess I was a little bit surprised that it was definitely lower. And I was also surprised that the lower rates of obesity also didn’t seem to differ from normal weight.”

But she says the difference in death rates appears to be small between normal-weight people and those who are overweight or mildly obese.

The study has raised new questions about “body mass index,”（体重指数） or BMI. This is a measurement of body fat as a ratio（比率） of height to weight. In recent years, many public health experts have promoted body mass index as a way to predict the risk of health problems. Bu t a person's BMI can be misleading in some cases.

Steven Heymsfield ,the executive director of the Pennington Biomedical Research Center, says people can be physically fit and in good health, but might weigh more because they are more muscular.

Still, Dr. Heymsfield says people should not think gaining extra weight is OK just because of the new findings. He says being at a healthy weight lowers the risk for heart disease and diabetes（糖尿病）.

1.According to the new findings, the researchers found that __________ .

A.People with high obesity have a lower risk of early death than people with low obesity

B.People with overweight have a greater risk of early death than people of normal weight.

C.People with mild obesity are less likely to die than people of normal weight.

D.People with obesity live much longer than people of normal weight.

2.What does the underlined word “literature” in paragraph 6 mean ?

A.works like novels and poems

B.books and articles on a particular subject

C.printed material

D.magazines and newspapers

3.Which of the following statements is not true according to the passage?

A. BMI is commonly used to measure body fat as a ratio of height to weight.

B. Not all people with a little higher BMI are fat .

C. Many public health experts encourage more people to use BMI as a way to predict the risk of health problem

D. Because of the ne w findings, people should think about gaining extra weight.
