It’s summertime-time once again for mosquitoes to make their appearance. And once they appear, mosquitoes are a total pain. They land on you, bite you, suck out some blood and leave behind an itchy welt（发痒的红肿）.

1 Female mosquitoes must find blood in order to reproduce, so mosquitoes come equipped with finely tuned sensors to help them locate the blood they need.

Mosquitoes’ weapons

Mosquitoes have perfected three different types of sensors. First, mosquitoes can sense several different chemicals. Mosquitoes can smell carbon dioxide and lactic acid（乳酸）up to 100 feet away. 2

Second, mosquitoes have very good eyesight. If you are wearing clothing that contrasts with the background, and if you move while wearing that clothing, mosquitoes can see you. It’s a good bet that anything moving is alive, and therefore full of blood.

Finally, mosquitoes come equipped with temperature sensors, so they can find warm-blood mammals and birds very easily.

3 The female mosquito sticks her proboscis（喙）into you. She sucks about five microliters of your blood into her abdomen.

After she has bitten you, some saliva（唾液）remains in the wound. 4 The area swells and you tich. Eventually, the selling goes away, but the itch remains until your immune cells break down the saliva proteins.

Our defense methods

Because mosquitoes are both a nuisance（讨厌的东西） and a danger, people prefer to stay away from mosquitoes. One way to do that is to use a chemical called DEET, which seems to black a mosquito’s chemical sensors. 5 In some cities there are even trucks that drive around town to spray for mosquitoes. Finally there are to traps. The most popular traps turn propane（丙烷） into carbon dioxide and warmth to attract mosquitoes. Over time, by catching large numbers of mosquitoes, these traps can cause the collapse of the mosquito population in the area.

A．Another way to control mosquitoes is with insecticides（杀虫剂） that kill them.

B．How mosquitoes work is unknown to most of us.

C．Once a mosquito lands on you, it is time to bite.

D．Some bites of mosquitoes are more serious than you thought.

E. Mammals and birds give off these gases as part of their normal breathing.

F. The proteins from the saliva create an immune response from your body.

G. But if you ignore the fact that mosquitoes are so annoying they really are amazing.

A．How a good teacher acts in class

B．Acting: natural expression of fixed words and movements

C．Teaching: a student-centered creative process

D．Similarities between teaching and acting

E. Differences between teaching and acting

F. A good teacher, not necessarily a good actor

61. ____________________________

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.

62. ____________________________

Watch a good teacher, and you will see that he does not sit unmoved before his class: he stands the whole time he is teaching; he walks about, using his arms, his hands and fingers to help him in his explanations, and his face to express feeling. Listen to him, and you will hear the loudness, the quality and the musical note if his voice always changes according to what he is talking about.

63. ____________________________

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, and 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.

64. ____________________________

A good teacher works in quite a different way. His audience takes an active part in his play: they ask questions, they obey orders, and if they don’t understand something, they say so. The teacher therefore has to suit his act to the needs of his audience. He cannot learn his part by heart, but must invent it as he goes along.

65. ____________________________

As a good teacher presently, you must take your audience as your friends, take care of them, help them and give them enough freedom and space. I have known many teachers who are fine actors in class but are unable to take part in a stage play because their brains can’t keep discipline: they cannot keep strictly to what another has written.

The Great Fire of London started in the very early hours of September 2, 1666. In four days it destroyed more than three-quarters of the old city, where most of the houses were wooden and close together. One hundred thousand people became homeless, but only a few lost their lives.

The fire started on Sunday morning in the house of the King's baker in Pudding Lane. The baker, with his wife and family, was able to get out through a window in the roof. A strong wind blew the fire from the bakery into a small hotel next door. Then it spread quickly into the Thames Street. That was the beginnings.

By eight o'clock three hundred houses were on fire. On Monday nearly a kilometer of the city was burning along the River Thames. Tuesday was the worst day. The fire destroyed many well-known buildings, old St Paul's and the Guildhall among them.

Samuel Pepys, the famous writer, wrote about the fire. People threw their things into the river. Many poor people stayed in their houses until the last moment. Birds fell out of the air because of the heat.

The fire stopped only when the King finally ordered people to destroy hundreds of buildings in the path of the fire. With nothing left to burn, the fire became weak and finally died out.

After the fire, Christopher Wren, the architect, wanted a city with wider streets and fine new houses of stone. In fact, the streets are still narrow; but he did build more than fifty churches, among which was new St Paul's.

The fire caused great pain and loss, but after it London was a better place: a city for the future and not just of the past.

In a national spelling contest in America，an 11-year-old girl was asked to spell a certain word. But with her 36 voice the judges were not sure whether she spelled the word with the letter A or E. They talked it over and 37 decided to simply ask her what she had said. By now, the girl knew she had 38 the word. But instead of lying，she told the truth that she had said the 39 letter—so she lost the contest.

As the girl walked off the 40 ，the entire audience stood to their feet clapping to applaud her

41 . Later，dozens of newspaper reporters wrote about this 11-year-old girl’s honesty，even when it 42 her the contest. But the fact is that she 43 the biggest contest that day: the contest of her 44 .

Probably the biggest test of our character and honesty is that we would do if we knew we would never get 45 .This young girl could easily have 46 and nobody would have known it but herself.

It’s been said, “If you 47 , you make yourself cheap.” This young girl was strong and smart enough to prize her own 48 and character more than the prize from a spelling 49 . Her respect for herself was more important than any 50 others might give her for winning a contest. She knew she would have to live with herself and the 51 she made in that moment will have long-lasting influence.

It’s so true that the choices you make today 52 what you are tomorrow. Our children will 53 our behaviour much more than our advice. So if we want them to 54 to be honest，we must show them the way by being honest ourselves. Remember，our kids are 55 what we do and how we live even when we don’t think they see or know.

Does this situation seem familiar to you? Your English is progressing well, the grammar is now familiar, the reading comprehension is no problem, and you are speaking quite fluently. _ _1.

First of all, remember that you are not alone. Listening is probably the most difficult job for almost all learners of English as a foreign language. The most important thing is to listen as often as possible. _ 2. The Internet is really a useful tool for English students. You can download The RealPlayer from RealMedia.com. The RealPlayer allows you to use the Internet like a radio station.

Once you have begun to listen on a regular basis, you might still be frustrated （受阻）by limited understanding. __ 3.__

Here is some of the advice I give my students:

●Accept the fact that you are not going to understand everything.

●Stay relaxed when you do not understand, and try listening to the material for more times.

● Do not translate everything into your native language.

● __4.___ Don’t concentrate on details before you have understood the main ideas.

● Listen to something you enjoy.

I remember the problems I had in understanding spoken German when I first went to Germany. In the beginning, when I didn’t understand a word, I insisted on translating it in my mind. This method usually resulted in confusion. 5. Firstly, translating creates a barrier between the listener and the speaker. Secondly, most people repeat themselves constantly. By remaining calm, I noticed that even if I didn’t pay much attention I could usually understand what the speaker had said.

A. But you can’t follow a native English speaker at all!

B. What should you do?

C. But listening is a problem for most of the beginners!

D. However, after several weeks, I got used to the new environment in Germany.

E. So, what you need to do is to find listening resources.

F. Then, after the first six months, I discovered two extremely important facts.

G. Listen for the general idea of the conversation.

The fact ________ English teaching has become business- driven isnot surprising when considering the great number of learners of Englishthroughout the world.
