第三部分:阅读理解(共两节;每小题 2 分,满分 20 分)
第一节:阅读下面短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C 和 D)中,选出最
佳选项。
There is one language that is used in every country in the world. The people who
use it are young and old, short and tall, thin and fat. It is everybody’s second language.
It is easy to understand, although you can’t hear it. It is sign language.
When you wave to a friend who is across the street, you are using sign language.
When you smile at someone, you are saying, “I want to be friendly”, but you are not
using speech. You are using sign language. When you raise your hand in class, you
are saying, “Please ask me. I think I know the correct answer.”
Babies who can’t talk can point at things. They are using sign language. A
policeman who wants to stop traffic holds up his hands. He is using sign language.
Many years ago, a French priest, Charles Michel de Epee, became interested in
education for deaf people. He invented a finger alphabet (字母表). It is still in use.
People can make the sign for letters and spell words with their hands, and deaf people
can read and understand them. Soon there were schools for the deaf in many countries.
The only university for the deaf is Gallaudet College in Washington, D.C.
Today, in the United States, there are special TV news programs for deaf people.
The newsreader tells the news in sign language. At the same time, the words appear
on the TV screen.
The actors in the Theatre of Deaf don’t spell every word. Sometimes they use
hand signs. When they put two hands together, it means sandwich. They can make a
roof with their hands when they want to show a house. One finger in front of an
actor’s mouth can mean quiet. You can talk to people who are behind windows that
are closed. And when you go swimming with your friends, you can have
conversations under water.
How many hand signs do you use every day?
56. Which of the following about sign language is TRUE?
A. It is a special language used in a few countries in the world.
B. It is a way to express one’s ideas without words.
C. It is only used by the deaf.
D. It can be heard.
57. If you want to express the idea that “I am very friendly” to someone, you will
______.
A. raise your hand B. put one hand onto the other
C. smile to the person D. make a roof with your hands
58. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Hand signs instead of finger signs are used everyday.
B. There are schools, colleges and universities for the deaf in the USA.
C. The French priest Charles invented sign language.
D. Even babies are using sign language.
59. The passage is mainly about ______.
A. an introduction to sign language B. the importance of sign language
C. a famous priest in France D. how to use sign language
第二节:阅读下面短文, 并根据短文内容判断正误(正确:T;错误:F)。
There are some basic things to know about kite flying that can help you to enjoy
the sport more. Here are a few of the most important ones.
First, if you have ever seen someone flying a kite in a movie, you probably saw
him or her get the kite off the ground by running into the wind. However, this is not
the way to launch a kite. Most beginners will find a “high start” launch to be the
easiest. For a high start launch, have a friend stand about one hundred feet away,
facing into the wind. Your friend should face you and hold the kite gently. Place some
tension(拉力) on the flying line by pulling gently on the line. With a steady breeze
behind you, tug gently on the line, and the kite will rise.
If your kite begins to dive (俯冲), don’t panic or pull on the line. Dropping the
reel (线轴) will cause it to spin out of control, and could cause someone to be hurt.
Simply let the line go slack (松弛的). This usually will right the kite in midair.
For a kite that is pulling hard away from you, have a friend stand behind you and
take up the slack line as you bring it in. Hand over hand, pull down the kite. It is very
important to have gloves on to do this, or you may burn or cut your hands. It is
recommended (建议) that you always wear gloves while flying kites.
When two kite lines get crossed, pulling may cause enough friction to cut one or
both of the lines. Instead of pulling, both fliers should walk towards one another until
their lines uncross as they pass.
60. To launch a kite, run into the wind holding the kite behind you.
61. In a high start launch, a friend stands about one hundred feet away from you
holding the kite.
62. If your kite begins to dive from the sky, immediately drop the reel.
63. It is suggested that you always wear gloves when flying a kite.
64. If your kite is pulling hard away from you, you should run after it.
65. If two kite lines get crossed, you should pull them apart.

When you learn another language, you have to learn what people from another
culture mean when they move or indicate without speaking.
Watch what people from different cultures do when they introduce themselves.
Some 86 the person they are greeting and kiss them on the 87 , some kiss on
both cheeks, some shake hands, some bow, some beat the 88 and some just nod as
it is not their custom to 89 the other person.

other human beings. It is how we do it that differs!
