Like spoken languages, sign languages are different from each other. But all sign languages are based on sight instead of sounds.Sign languages have several main visual (视觉) parts that work together to express meaning. The first part is the shape made by the hands. Movement is also important. Moving the body or organs (器官) like hands affects the meaning of the shape. The place where the sign is made and the direction the hands face are crucial as well. Other visual clues (线索), such as the expression on a persons face, can sometimes change a signs meaning. For example, a change in a smile can show whether a signer is happy, very happy, or overjoyed. Raising the eyebrows can mark a question.In sign languages, the visual parts are combined (结合) in different ways to create signs.These signs stand for things, actions, feelings, and ideas. ASL has about 4,000 different signs. Like spoken languages, sign languages cannot be translated word-for-word. For English word may be represented by a series of signs in ASL. Or several English words may berepresented by a single ASL sign. Unlike spoken languages, the signs are organized according to sign-language grammar and the most important word or idea is signed first.In ASL, the letter signs are made with one hand. Signers would rarely, if ever, spell out all the words they are signing. That would be as awkward and slow as speakers spelling each spoken word. However, American Sign Language does not have signs for proper names, so signers may use the alphabet to spell these. Also, sign languages often borrow words from other languages. They may spell words using finger spelling which is done with a set of hand shapes that stand for letters of the alphabet.Sign languages develop naturally when people with shared culture and needs want to communicate with each other. Signers are closely linked to each other, perhaps more than to speaking people in their own communities. Signers share points of view, values, needs, and problems,as well as languages.（1）Which group of signs shows how to finger-spell the word hat?A . B . C . D . （2）What can we learn from the underlined sentence in the fourth paragraph?A . Different visual parts are combined to create signs.B . Sign languages do not have signs for proper names.C . Signers express ideas following the specific grammar.D . Direct sign combinations wont tell what signers mean.（3）What feature do sign languages and spoken languages have in common?A . They are influenced by different cultures.B . Movements work together to express meaning.C . They are both rich in vocabulary and grammar.D . Facial expressions are of great importance to them.（4）What might be the best title for the passage? A . Speak and ShareB . Signs and LanguagesC . Show and TellD . Sight and Signers 23. （10分）阅读理解(D)Its good to share your feelings with others. No matter whether your feelings are good or not, it can also help you to get closer to others.But how to share your feelings? First, you should pay attention to your feelings. What troubles you? Does it make you sad or angry? Do you have this sense only once or many times? You can know about your feelings in your head by writing them down on a piece of paper or even by drawing pictures.

The sounds you make will hit the walls and come back to you. The walls reflect the sounds. These reflected sounds are called “echoes”.We can use reflected sound to make sound travel farther. Hold a watch about fifty centimeters from your ear. You cannot hear it. The sound of the watch travels a short way in all directions. It does not travel as far as your ear. You can make it travel to your ear by using a roll of cardboard(纸板筒).Make the roll of cardboard about fifty centimeters long. Put one end over your ear and hold the watch at the other. Now you can hear the watch because the sound has not gone in all directions. It is reflected down the roll to your ear.A megaphone(喇叭筒)works in the same way. It makes sound travel farther. It reflects the sound into a beam which can travel a long way. In the ship, the sailor uses the megaphone to make his voice travel. Without the megaphone, his voice cannot travel far.We use reflected sound in many ways. We use it to measure the depth of the sea, for example. Among the animals, bats and whales use reflected sound to tell them where they are and what things are near them.（1）Which is the right order of hearing our echo in a very large, empty hall?a. We hear the reflected sound b. The sound returns to usc. The sound hits the walls d.

He read a letter by Zhuge Liang(181 234) to the emperor of Shuhan during the Three Kingdoms(220280) period in the new season of Growling Tiger and Roaring Dragon(虎啸龙吟)The letter has been read by so many students. We would never have thought that the text written in old Chinese could be so beautifully read in another language. As a result, foreigners begin to show interest in Rommance of the Three Kingdoms, translated bt C.H. Brewitt-Tailor and Robert E. Hegel. Earlier in November 1979, pupils in England were able to watch a new TV program called Monkey. Most of them were hearing the story for the first time. However, the story of the Mokey King isnt new to Chinese Children in the traditional Chinese book Journey to the West. As soon as the TV programme came out more than 30 years ago, western children became interested in reading this story because the clever Monkey King keeps fighting to help the weak and never gives up. Chinese scholars(学者) should do a better job of introducing Chinese literature(文学) to the rest of the world. At the same time, we could encourage western schools to try something different. Reading international literature is an effective way of understanding other people in the world. And the more we understand each other, the more beautiful the world will be.（1）The letter by Zhuge Liang (181234) to the emperor of Shuhan(20280) was read so beautifully in another language _.
