They talked in a very low voice ________make themselves ________ clearly.


  1. A.
    in order to; hear
  2. B.
    so as not to; hear
  3. C.
    in order not to; heard
  4. D.
    so that to; heard
C
本题要考虑两个知识点。so as to do和in order to do都可以表示目的,只不过so as to不用于句首,两个短语的否定形式都是在不定式符号to前加not或never. so that后面接的是从句。make oneself heard是过去分词作宾语补足语,意为“使自己让别人听见”。综上所述,选项D为正确答案。

C
At present, in many American cities expecially, many teachers in the public schools say they are underpaid. They point to jobs such as secretary or truck driver, which often pay more to start than that of a teacher. In many other fields, such as law, medicine, computer science, a beginning worker may make more than a teacher who has taught for several years.
Teaching has never been a profession that attracted people interested in high salaries. It is by history a profession that has provided rewards in addition to money—the satisfaction of sharing knowledge, of influencing others, of guiding young people. But in the past several years, there are more difficulties in teaching, for many, than there are rewards.
Unruly students, especially in big cities, large classes and a lack of support from the public in terms of money and understanding have led many public school teachers to leave the profession.
As a result, many of the best students, who would have chosen teaching as their life career in the past, are going into other fields.
Another reason for this change in teacher candidates is the changing status of women in the United States. Until the late 1960s and 1970s, one of the most popular choices for women was teaching. But as other professions, such as law and medicine opened up to women, women stopped pouring into teacher training programs. Thus, a major pool of excellent candidates for the teaching profession dwindled.
Bit by bit government officials and others realized that the status of the teacher had suffered. They talked about change. But the change in a vast society like the United States is not easy. People’s attitudes have formed over many years, and sometimes change takes many years.
63.The underlined word “that” in Paragraph 1 refers to “      ”.
A.money             B.job
C.secretary          D.truck driver
64.What is the present situation of the teaching?
A.Teachers work harder and get underpaid.
B.Teahcers have no opportunities to work in other fields.
C.Teaching can attract best students to work as a teacher.
D.Teaching can provide rewards as well as high salaries.
65.Many public school teachers turn to other professions because        .
A.the government doesn’t finacially support them
B.they have to work longer hours than a lawyer
C.their students refuse to listen to them
D.they are not fairly treated
66.The author believes that change in teachers’ status in the United States       .
A.is not great     
B.is impossible
C.influences people’s attitude
D.needs time
