But ,beginning in the 170Os,the deaf were taught a special language. Using this language, they could share thoughts and ideas with others. The language they used was a language without sound. It was a sign language.
How did this sign language work？ The deaf were taught to make certain movements using their hands, face, and bodies. These movements stood for things and ideas. People might move their forefingers across their lips. This meant," You are not telling the truth. "They might tap their chins with three fingers. This meant "my uncle".
The deaf were also taught to use a finger alphabet. They used their fingers to make the letters of the alphabet. In this way, they spelled out words. Some deaf people could spell out words at a speed of 130 words per minute.
Sign language and finger spelling are not used as much as they once were. Today, the deaf are taught to understand others by watching their lips. They are also taught how to speak.
In the 1700s, the deaf were taught ______.
A．to speak
B．sign language
C．to watch others
D．Braille

Paradoxes of this kind arise when the time traveler tries to change the past, which is obviously impossible. But that does not prevent someone from being a part of the past.
Suppose the time traveler goes back and rescues a young girl from murder, and this girls grows up to become his mother. The causal loop is now self-consistent and no longer paradoxical. Causal consistency might impose restrictions on what a time traveler is able to do, but it does not rule out time travel per second.
Even if time travel isn't strictly paradoxical, it is certainly weird. Consider the time traveler who leaps ahead a year and reads about a new mathematical theorem in a future edition of Scientific American. He notes the details, returns to his own time and teaches the theorem to a student, who then writes it up for Scientific American. The article is, of course, the very one that the time traveler reads. The question then arises: Where did the information about the theorem come from？ Not from the time traveler, because he read it, but not from the student either, who learned it from the time traveler. The information seemingly came into existence from nowhere, reasonlessly.
The bizarre consequences of time travel have led some scientists to reject the notion outright. Stephen W. Hawking of the University of Cambridge has proposed a "Chronology protection conjecture," which would outlaw causal loops. Because the theory of relativity is known to permit causal loops, chronology protection would require some other factors to intercede to prevent travel into the past. What might this factor be？ One suggestion is that quantum processes will come to the rescue. The existence of a time machine would allow particles to loop into their own past. Calculations hint that the ensuring disturbance would become self-reinforcing, creating a runaway surge of energy that would wreck the wormhole.
The first paragraph intends to show ______.
A．the time machine in the future would be feasible
B．the time machine in the future is just like the Pandora's ox
C．the time machine in the future is still doubtful
D．the time machine in the future might cause murder
W: Well, Peter, it's an event that's open to anybody who'd like to ride a bicycle through the streets of Montreal. The tour covers a standard distance of 65 kilometers. But the route's quite different every year. So even people who've already done it might enjoy doing it again. Cyclists are free to go as fast or as slow and do as much or as little of the course as they like. The typical pace for a participant is between 12 and 30 kin per hour. Some cyclists stop along the way and don't cross the finish line until early evening. But the whole point is that there is no rush. It's not a race. Last year's tour had 45 thousand cyclists and it was the largest mass cycling event in the world.
M: How many do you expect this year？
W: The same as last year. And since we regularly have so many participants, can I take this opportunity to remind our listeners to sign up early？ We filled up quickly last year and we had to refuse lots of applications.
What are the speakers talking about？
A．How to increase one's speed in a bicycle race.
B．Major American bicycle races.
C．The contributions of cycling to health.
D．An annual cycling event.
听力原文： The cost is going up for just about everything, and college tuition is no exception. According to a nationwide survey published by College Board's Scholarship Service, tuition at most American universities will be an average of 9 percent higher this year than last.
The biggest increase will occur at private colleges. Public colleges, heavily supported by tax funds, will also increase their tuition, but the increase will be a few percentage points lower than their privately sponsored neighbors.
As a follow up, the United Press International did its own study at Massachusetts Institute of Technology. At MIT advisors recommended that students have ＄8,900 available for one year's expenses. Ten years ago the tuition was ＄2,150.
An additional burden is placed on out-of-state students who must pay extra charges raging from ＄200 to ＄2,000, and foreign students who are not eligible for scholarships at state-funded universities.
On the brighter side, the survey revealed that college graduates are entering the best job market since the middle 1960s. Job offers am up 16 percent from last year, and salaries are good, at least for graduates in technical fields. For example, a recent graduate in petroleum engineering can expect to make as much as ＄20,000 per year. A student with a liberal arts degree might expect to make about half that salary.

A．Average tuition costs increased by 9 percent.
B．Average tuition costs increased by 15 percent.
C．Average tuition costs increased by 90 percent
D．Average tuition costs increased by 150 percent.
How Do American Consumers Borrow ？
Young consumers often have not established their credit ratings. Many do not have steady incomes. They might have difficulty borrowing money from an agency in business to make loans. Parents or relatives are usually their best source of loans. Of course, the parents or relatives would have to have money available and be willing to lend it. You might even get an interest-free loan. However, a parent or relative who lends should receive the same interest as any other lender.
There are disadvantages in borrowing from parents or relatives. One is that they may not insist on you paying back the money by a certain time. As a result, you might let the loan drag on. This is especially true if you are not required to pay interest. This is not a way to develop good credit habits.
For most consumers, the cheapest place to borrow is at a commercial bank. Banks are a good source of installment loan which may run for 12 months or up to 30. Most banks also make single-payment loans to consumers for short periods--30,60 ,or 90 days.
The newest type of bank loan is one that a depositor can get simply by writing a check. It is usually called something like "ready credit" or "reserved checking." It works like this. A depositor is given a limited amount of credit, usually between ＄500 and ＄1,000. He or she may write checks up to the amount allowed. Once a check has been written, the amount of the check becomes a loan. Usually no charge is made for interest until the loan is made. A typical interest rate is 3 cents per ＄100 per day, or just under I percent a month. Suppose that you used ＄100 of your credit and repaid it in 30 days. The cost would be 90 cents. If you repaid it in 10 days, the cost would be only 30 cents.
The advantage of borrowing from a bank is that banks generally charge lower rates than most other lenders. One reason is that banks have more strict credit requirements than most other lenders. A consumer must have a fairly good credit rating to get a bank loan.
According to the first paragraph, young people ______.
A．have difficulty borrowing from their parents or relatives
B．can't get an interest-free loan from their parents or relatives
C．always borrow money from an agency
D．usually borrow from their parents or relatives
