For many years, no one could communicate with people who had been born without hearing. These deaf people were not able to use a spoken language.
But, beginning in the 1700s, 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, faces, 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(手势语). 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 spell.
59. In the 1700s, the deaf were taught __________.
A. to speak
B. sign language
C. to watch others
D. Braille
60. T he deaf “talked” to other people ______.
A. by moving their hands, faces and bodies
B. by shouting and singing
C. without using any letters
D. without using any language
61. From the text we learn that _______.
A. deaf people make signs to earn a living
B. there is still no way to communicate with the deaf
C. sign language helped the deaf learn to read
D. many deaf people now can speak
62. The story as whole is about _______.
A. learning to spell
B. teaching the deaf to speak
C. how the deaf communicate
D. understanding Indian sign language
C
A couple had a son eleven years after they married. They were a loving couple and the boy was the apple of their eye. When the boy was around four years old, one day the father was very tired after work so he asked his wife to pick up their son. The mother, who was very busy in the kitchen, totally forgot about it.
Later the boy lost his way on the street. When the son was found missing, the mother hurried to look for him, but sh e didn’t find him. The mother felt very sad and didn’t know how to face her husband.
When the father went to the police station after hearing that the son was missing, he looked at his wife and said just four words. What do you think the four words were? The husband just said "I love you, darling."
The son was missing. If he had picked him up earlier, this would not have happened. There is no point in blaming (责备) anyone. His wife had also lost her only child. What his wife needed at that moment was comfort and understanding from her husband. That is what the husband gave his wife. Several weeks later, with the help of the police, the couple finally found their lost son. The family’s relationship became stronger over that time.
Sometimes we spend lots of time asking who is to blame. We miss many chances to give each other support and let each other feel the warmth of human relationships. Get rid of all your unwillingness to forgive, selfishness, and fears and you will find the world is much more wonderful.
63. What is the meaning of the underlined phrase "the apple of their eye"?
A. A person who always has a sweet smile.
B. A person who is as pretty as an apple.
C. A person who is loved more than anyone else.
D. A person who looks like an apple.
64. Why didn’t the father pick the boy up himself?
A. He was very lazy.
B. He thought the mother had picked him up.
C. He forgot to pick him up.
D. He was too tired to do it.
65. What can we learn from this passage?
A. Be careful in everything you do.
B. Love is the most important thing.
C. Learn to forgive others.
D. Everyone can make mistakes.
66. What do you think of the husband?
A. Warm-hearted.
B. Careful.
C. Hard-working.
D. Broad-minded.
D
Monarch butterflies(黑脉金斑蝶)from eastern Canada make the most amazing journey in the insect world. Each year, this butterfly travels about 3000 miles to its winter home in central Mexico(墨西哥). How can it fly so far? And why does it make this long and dangerous trip? Scientists still don’t have an answer.
For many years, people in Mexico wondered where the orange-and-black butterflies came from every winter. Then, in 1937, a scientist started to follow and study the butterflies. For the next 20 years, he discovered that one butterfly started its journey in Canada. Four months later, it arrived in Mexico.
The length of the butterflies’ trip is only one part of the mystery. Another amazing thing is that the butterflies always return to the same area in central Mexico.
How do the butterflies find their way back to the same place? This is an interesting question because only every fourth generation makes the trip south. In other words, the butterfly that travels to Mexico this year is the great-great-grandchild of the butterfly that traveled there last
year.
Each year, four generations of a Monarch butterfly family are born. Each generations of the family has a very different life. The first generation is born in the south in late April. It slowly moves north, reproduces(繁衍) , and then die. Each of these generations of butterflies lives for generations are born, reproduces, and die. Each of these generations of butterflies lives for only two or five weeks. In the autumn, the fourth generation of butterflies is born. This generation has a much longer life. It lives for about eight months. This generation of butterflies makes the amazing journey back to the winter there, and in the spring they reproduce and then die. Their offspring will be the first generation of the next circle of life.
Today, people are still studying the Monarch butterfly. But they are not clear about everything.
67.The best title of the passage can be __________.
A. Family of Monarch butterflies
B. Mystery of Monarch butterflies
C. Monarch butterflies’ birthplace
D. Monarch butterflies’ winter home
68. It took the scientist ______to find out that Monarch butterflies came from Canada.
A. 20 years
B. four months
C. five weeks
D. eight months
69. The underl ined word “offspring” in the passage is closest in meaning to ______.
A. seasons
B. butterflies
C. children
D. parents
70. Which statement is true according to the text?
A. Monarch butterflies spend winter in eastern Canada.
B. The four generations have the same length of life.
C. Some generations die on the way north of Canada.
D. Scientists are clear about everything of the butterflies.
第二卷（共二部分，满分35分）
第一部分：任务型阅读（共10小题：每小题1分，满分10分）
请认真阅读下面短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入最恰当的单词。

注意：每空格1个单词。

Although many Chinese students say that their knowledge of English grammar is good, most would admit that their spoken English is poor. Whenever I speak to a Chinese student they always say, “My spoken English is poor.” However, their spoken English does not have to remain “poor”!
I would like to suggest that there may be some reasons for their problems with spoken English.
First, they fail to find suitable words to express themselves due to a limited vocabulary. Obviously the better answer is to expand (增加，扩充) their vocabulary. However, you can speak with a limited vocabulary, if your attitude is positive. Others will follow you as long as you use the words that you know.
Second, they are afraid of making mistakes. Sometimes they make mistakes when they are speaking because they are shy and nervous. Yet students should remember that their goal should be fluency not accuracy（准确）. Your aim in writing is to be accurate following the rules for grammar and using the right words and spelling them correctly. However, in speaking your aim is fluency. You want to get your message across to talk to someone in English, as quickly and as well as you can, even though sometimes you may use a wrong word or tense, but it doesn’t matter because the person you are speaking to will understand you and make allowances for any mistakes he hears.
The third reason is that not enough attention is paid to listening. You have one mouth but two ears! All that hearing was necessary for you to start speaking.
Fourth, most Chinese students are reactive（反应性的）rather than proactive(主动的) language learners. Instead of actively take opportunities to improve their spoken English they passively wait for speaking opportunities to come to them and wonder why their English always remains poor. If you have this proactive outlook, then you will see English opportunities wherever you go.
If you do not use your English beyond the classroom you will forget what English you know. Remember: USE IT OR LOSE IT! You can learn how to speak English better by speaking English more.
Title: (71) ___________ With Spoken English

Limit of vocabulary

You should take a (74)_________ attitude towards speaking English.

We have held a discussion about whether it is good or not for a top student to share a desk with a slower student.
Some are for the idea. They believe everyone has strengths as well as weaknesses. Although slower students are not good at lessons, they might do well in other fields like sports or arts. Therefore, they can learn from each other, and they may develop friendship.
However, some top students don’t hold the same view. They think some slower students are always making trouble, such as keeping talking in class, breaking school rules, which has a bad effect on their studies. Besides, they may often be asked questions by slower students which will probably distract them from their lessons.
In my point of view, that top students share desks with slower students does good to them all. In this way, they can help and learn from each other.。
