Make me laugh, now!

　　In a room filled with cigarette smoke and the smell of beer, people are laughing as a little man on stage talks．This is stand-up, a major form of live entertainment in the West．

　　It could be held in a theatre or just a bar．The basic idea is that a person, or sometimes two, "stands up" on a stage and makes the audience laugh．

　　The performer could tell a story or lots of little stories．He could just tell jokes or discuss the most serious issues of the day．The point is that the audience expects to be made to laugh．

　　Audiences at stand-up shows are not polite．If they don't find the person funny they will shout out．These people are called "hecklers"(詰難者)．If a comedian

(喜劇演員)is good he will be able to shout back at the heckler with some clever response(應(yīng)答)．

　　Normally, the comedian has prepared a script, which he has learnt．But often they might think of something different while on stage．This is called improvising

(即興發(fā)揮)．

　　Different stand-up comedians have different styles．Some are called straight men．These will never laugh or smile and will try to appear very serious even though what they are talking about is very funny．Others play the fool．These act and say things that are very stupid so that you can't help laughing at them．Another type is

the person who can copy famous people's voices．They will pretend to be someone famous in a funny situation．

　　Stand-up comedians will talk about anything from sex to polities, from family to animals．To a stand-up comedian everything is funny．

第三部分 閱讀理解 (滿分30分)

A

Some scientists say that animals in the ocean are increasingly threatened by noise pollution caused by human beings. It is caused mainly by industrial underwater explosions, ocean drilling, and ship engines.

Some scientists have proposed setting a noise limit of one hundred and twenty decibels (分貝) in oceans. They have observed that noises at the level can frighten and confuse (使困惑) whales.

A team of American and Canadian scientists discovered that loud noises could seriously injure some animals. They found that powerful underwater explosions were causing whales in the area to lose their hearing. This seriously affected the whales’ ability to exchange information and find their way. Some of the whales even died.

Some researchers whose work depends on ocean sounds object to (反對(duì)) a limit of one hundred and twenty decibels. They say such a limit would mean an end to important industrial and scientific research. Scientists do not know how much and what kinds of noises are harmful to ocean animals. However, many scientists agree that noise is a greater danger than they believed. They want to prevent noises from harming creatures (生物) in the ocean.

56. According to the passage, which of the following is increasingly dangerous to sea creatures?

A. The man-made noises.            

B. The noises made by themselves.

C. The sound of earthquakes.         

D. The sound of ice-breaking.

57. Concerning the effect of noises on whales, which of the following is TRUE?

A. They are deaf to noises.           

B. Noises at a certain level may hurt them.

C. Noises could kill them.            

D. Noises will cause them to lose their eyesight.

58. Some scientists think that the noise limit of one hundred and twenty decibels would _________.

A. prevent them doing their research work    

B. benefit them a lot in their research work

C. do good to their health                 

D. increase the industrial output

59. According to the last paragraph, what will scientists most probably do in the future?

A. They will study the effect of different noises in the sea.

B. They will work hard to make no noise.

C. They will never do any scientific research in the sea.

D. They will protect sea animals from harmful noises.
