For many years, no one could communicate with people who had been born without hearing. Th

ese deaf people were not able to use a spoken language.

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

Section B

Directions: In this section, you will hear 3 short passages. At the end of each passage, you will hear some questions. Both the passage and the questions will be spoken only once. After you hear a question, you must choose the best answer from the four choices marked A, B, C and D.

听力原文： It may be Surprising to learn that there are many deaf people who can sing. They do not sing with their voices; they sing with their hands. Using hand and finger motions to signal words is called signing. Sign language is used by people who have severe hearing problems or deaf. When they use sign language to "sing", their hands "dance". it is a beautiful sight.

Many deaf people in the United States use American Sign Language. In ASL some signs express a specific word, while other words and names are spelled out with finger movements that represent letters. There are also special signs for special words such as love and family. Signs can also represent feelings. Just as you can change your voice to illustrate emotions, you can also change your hand movements to show different feelings.

A．By foreigners.

B．By the deaf or hearing-impaired.

C．By blind people

D．By ordinary people.

SECTION B PASSAGES

Directions: In this section, you will hear several passages. Listen to the passages carefully and then answer the questions that follow.

听力原文： Today I'd like to talk to you about dictionaries because most of you have them, but don't use them very of- ten. Whenever I ask people what a dictionary is for, they almost always say that it's to find the meaning of a word. Well, but that's really only a small part of the answer. Sure, a dictionary will tell you the meaning of a word, and it will also give you examples to show you how the word is used in a sentence, but it will also tell you how to pronounce a word you already know the meaning of. And this is very important, because if you can't say a word correctly, then no one will understand you. Of course, learning the pronunciation symbols your dictionary use will take a little time, but it's worth it, believe me.

Now think about when you're writing something, are you always sure of the spelling of every word？ If not, what do you do？ Do you just write it the way you think it's spelled and hope it's correct？ Or, do you wait around for someone to tell you the spelling, or do you look for another word to use instead？ What you should do is open your dictionary and check to see that your spelling is correct. If it isn't, think of another way the word might be spelled and check that out. Through' guessing and checking you're sure to find the right spelling.

Another thing to help you when you're writing, the dictionary will tell you where each syllable of a word begins and ends. This is important information, because when you write in English, when you come to the end of the line on a piece of paper you cannot separate words where you want to, but only between syllables. So you can use your dictionary to find out if you're separating the word in the right place.

Which of the following statements is true according to the speaker？

A．Most people have dictionaries but don't use them frequently.

B．Most people don't have dictionaries but need them very often.

C．Most people have dictionaries and use them very often.

D．Most people don't have dictionaries and seldom need them.

Text 4 Humor, which ought to give rise to only the most light-hearted and ** feelings, can

often stir up vehemence and animosity. Evidently it is dearer to us than we realize. Men will take almost any kind of criticism except the observation that they have no sense of humour. A man will admit to being a coward or a liar or a thief or a poor mechanic or a bad swimmer, but tell him he as a dreadful sense of humour and you might as well have slandered his mother. Even if he is civilized enough to pretend to make light of your statement, he will still secretly believe that he has not only a good sense of humour but are superior to most. He has, in other words, a completely blind spot on the subject. This is all the more surprising when you consider that not one man in ten million can give you any kind of intelligent answer as to what humour is or why he laughs.

One day when I was about twelve years old, it occurred to me to wonder about the phenomenon of laughter. At first I thought it is easy enough to see what I laugh at and why I am amused, but why at such times do I open my mouth and exhale in jerking gasps and wrinkle up my eyes and throw back my head and halloo like an animal？ Why do I not instead rap four times on the top of my head or whistle or whirl about？

That was over twenty years ago and I am still wondering, except that I now no longer even take my first assumption for granted, I no longer clearly understand why I laugh at what amuses me nor why things are amusing. I have illustrious company in my confusion, of course, Many of the great minds of history have brought their power of concentration to bear on the mystery of humour, and, to date, their conclusions are so contradictory and ephemeral that they cannot possibly be classified as scientific.

Many definitions of the comic are incomplete and many are simply rewording of things we already know. Aristotle, for example, defined the ridiculous as that which is incongruous but represents neither **er nor pain. But that seems to me to be a most inadequate sort of observation, for of at this minute I insert here the word rutabagas, I have introduced something in congruous, something not funny. Of course, it must be admitted that Aristotle did not claim that every painless in congruity is ridiculous but as soon as we have gone as far as this admission, we begin to see that we have come to grips with a ghost when we think have it pinned, it suddenly appears behind us, mocking us.

An all-embracing definition of humour has been attempted by many philosophers, but no definition, no formula had ever been devised that is entirely satisfactory. Aristotle's definition has come to be known loosely as the "disappointment" theory, or the "frustrated expectation", but he also, discussed another theory borrowed in part from Plato which states that the pleasure we derive in laughing is an enjoyment of the misfortune of others, due to a momentary feeling of superiority or gratified vanity in appreciation of the fact that we ourselves are not in the observed predicament.

第36题：Which of the following can be inferred from the first paragraph？

[A] People don't like to be considered as one with no sense of humour.

[B] People will give you a satisfactory answer to what humour is.

[C] People would like to be a liar or a coward.

[D] People can make light of other's comment on their sense of humour.

听力原文： During the Christmas shopping rush in London，the intriguing story was reported o

f a tramp who，apparently through no fault of his own，found himself locked in a well-known chain store late on Christmas Eve．No doubt the store was filled with last-minute Christmas shoppers and the staff were dead beating and longing to get home．Presumably all the proper security checks were made before the store was locked and they left to enjoy the three-day holiday untroubled by customers desperate to get last-minute Christmas presents．

However that may be，our tramp found himself alone in the store and decided to make the best of it．There was food，drink，bedding and camping equipment，of which he made good use．There must also have been television sets and radios．Though it was not reported if he took advantage of these facilities，when the shop re-opened．he was discovered in bed with a large number of empty bottles beside him．He seems to have been a man of good humour and philosophic temperament—as indeed vagrants very commonly are．Everyone else was enjoying Christmas，so he saw no good reason why he should not do the same．He submitted，cheerfully enough，to being taken away by the police．Perhaps he had a better Christmas than usual．He was put into prison for seven days．The judge awarded no compensation to the chain store for the food and drink our tramp had consumed．They had，in his opinion，already received valuable free publicity from the coverage the story received in the newspapers and on television．Perhaps the judge had a good Christmas too．

The tramp was locked in the store ______.

A．for his own mistakes

B．due to a misunderstanding

C．by accident

D．through an error of judgment
