He became interested in ways to support people with hearing disability because he was in the service of the Governor of Castile, whose younger brother was hearing “impaired”. It wasnt until 1885 that Bonets Simplification of the Letters of the Alphabet and Method of Teaching Deaf-mutes to Speak was published. The book consisted of four essays. One was on phonetics(语音学) describing which ways of the phonetic alphabet to select for teaching typical children to read. The second essay in Bonets book was on teaching speech to children with hearing problems. He recommends use of a one-handed finger signing, with the different finger positions representing different letters of the alphabet and of the printed word for teaching sounds and speech to deaf children. He used the letters of the alphabet to teach phonetic aspects of speech production. Bonet attached great importance to language environment. For example, he insisted that everyone living in a house with a deaf person use the manual alphabet(手势字母). Bonets book ends with two essays, one on numbers and another Greek language. Bonets educational approach to teaching deaf students was through sense training. Deland has described Bonets method of teaching similarities and differences between objects based on quality such as length, width, color and weight. In this lesson he ought to be very expert; and this can be achieved, for it is the very beginning of reasoning; and he must learn the word and concepts by which he is to express what he thinks; and with this in view he will have to be asked many questions about different things, some of them are so similar as to demand feeling rather than sight to tell them, and these he must weigh in his head, so as to recognize differences in things that need some consideration. 59. The underlined word “impaired” in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to “_”. A. repaired or made normal. B. functioning normally in some sense. C. unique or special in some way. D. having some kind of physical or mental problems. 60. What can we learn about Juan Bonet from the passage ? A. He was interested in helping people with hearing disability when he was in the army. B. He recommends use of a one-handed finger signing, with the different positions of hand representing different letters of the alphabet. C. His method of teaching deaf students was based on sense training. D. He insisted that everyone in a house should use the manual alphabet. 61. To be a qualified teacher of children with hearing disabilities, which of the following isNOT a must?A. Being very experienced while teaching B. Learning necessary words and concepts. C. Telling the distinctions between similar things. D. Asking many questions about different things. C Certain masterpieces are recognized worldwide as outstanding achievements in human creativity. Three good examples of such works are the Taj Mahal, The Sistine Chapel and the sculpture of David. All of these works are hundreds of years old, and like everything that ages, some parts of these works need to be restored (修复) from time to time. However, not everyone agrees how and when certain works should be restored. In some cases, there is a urgent need for something to be done in order to save a historical treasure. For example, through careful study of the building, experts found that the Taj Mahal was sliding toward the river beside it ! Restoration efforts then began to repair cracks (裂缝) in the building and to stop its slide. But for such works as the Sistine Chapel and the statue of David, the work is not under any threat of serious damage or loss. Rather, restorations are meant to clean the work so that it looks better. David is a perfect case in point of just such a clean project. For the statues 500th “birthday”, the Galleria dellAccademia, the museum in Italy where David stands today, planned to restore the statues appearance. There was really nothing wrong with David. He was just dirty. And that should not have surprised anyone because for more than 300 years the statue stood outdoors in the main square in Florence,Piazza Signoria. When he carved the sculpture, Michelangelo planned for it to stand outside and naturally gather the marks of weathering. Therefore, critics of Davids restoration claimed that cleaning the statue would change its intended appearan
