那些仅仅通过《奇迹创造者》了解海伦凯勒的人们在发现她有多方面的（性格）特点时会感到惊奇。“我为盲人所做的工作，”她写到，“从未在我的人生中（我身上）占据中心地位。我的同情心是向着所有为正义而奋斗的人们的。”她是一个提倡种族和男女平等的不倦的（不屈不挠的）活动家。她（的思想）丰富而深邃。她（传递）的信息过去是、今天依然是，“我们和别人一样。我们在这个世界上能够和视力正常的人一样过上充实的生活。我们成为盲人没有什么不好。”

这意味者（就是说）我们拥有和视力正常者一样的成为非凡者的自由。海伦凯勒热爱听众，她写道她非常喜欢“在我周围涌动着的人类生命的暖流。”这就是为什么讲坛对她有（如此的）吸引力，她为什么去学习说话和发表演说，学习去感觉（受）由音乐、收音机、（人的）嘴唇嚅动（所）发出的颤动的原因。

SECTION 1：LISTENING TEST

Part A: Spot Dictation

Directions: In this part of the test, you will hear a passage and read the same passage with blanks in it. Fill in each of the blanks with the word or words you have heard on the tape. Write your answer in the corresponding space in your ANSWET. Remember you will hear the passage only once. Now let’s begin Part A with Spot Dictation.

As a linguist, my interests lie in the study of sign languages. A typical example of gesticulation is the movement of the head, namely, the Head Nod and the Head Shake. Many people believe that the Head Nod is the only way to signal YES and that the Head Shake is always used to signal NO. They further believe that these gestures mean the same all over the world. This is close to the truth, but not the whole truth. In certain parts of the world, there are other, less well-known head movements that are used to signal YES and NO.

In the Head Nod gesture, the head moves vertically up and down one or more times. This gesture is used by people almost everywhere in the world. Whenever is occurs, it is usually a YES sign, rarely a no. This action may well be something we are born with, since even blind people use it.

In the Head Shake gesture for meaning NO, the head moves horizontally from side to side. This is the most common form of negative reply, and it covers a wide range of NOs, from “I cannot:” and “I will not” to “I disagree” and “I do not know”.
