题目内容

Would you believe that the first outstanding deaf teacher in America was a Frenchman? His name was Laurent Clerc. He became a friend of Thomas Hopkins Gallaudet and together they founded America' s first school for the deaf,

Laurent Clerc was born in a small village near Lyons, France, on December 26, 1785. When he Was one year old, he fell into a fire, losing both his hearing and his sense of smell.

At 12, Laurent entered the Royal Institution for the Deaf in Paris where he excelled in his studies. After he graduated, the school asked him to stay on as an assistant teacher.

Meanwhile, in America, Thomas Hopkins Gallandet was studying to be a minister. He was very concerned about the lack of educational opportunities for the deaf. Therefore, in 1815, Gallaudet sailed to London, England to seek ideas on how to teach deaf people. While he was there, he met a French educator of the deaf who invited him to go to Paris to spend three months learning at the Royal Institution for the Deaf, the school where Laurent Clerc was teaching. Gallaudet accepted the offer. The two worked and studied well together. When the time came for Gallaudet to return, he asked Clerc to come with him. Clerc accepted on one condition: that he would stay in America only a short time.

The two men set sail on June 18, 1816. The voyage across the Atlantic Ocean took 52 days; however, Clerc and Gallaudet put the time to good use. Clerc studied English, and Gallaudet studied sign language. They discussed the school for the deaf which they planned to open. On the long trip, they had many conversations about education and deafness. The year after they arrived, they founded a school for the deaf in Harford, Connecticut.

At the school, Clerc led a busy life. He taught signs to Principal Gallaudet; he taught the pupils; and he taught hearing men who came to the school to study deaf education.

In 1819, Clerc married Eliza Crocker Boardman, one of his pupils. They had six children. He retired from teaching in 1858. Although he had intended to return to France, he never did. He died on July 18, 1869 in the United States.

72. Why did Thomas Hopkins Gallaudet sail to London?

A. He needed to finish his studies to become a minister.

B. It was the easiest way to get to France.

72---75 CABC

解析:

72．C(解析：细节题。第四段"he was concerned about the lack of opportunities for deaf people in America和he went to London to seek ideas on how to teach deaf people．”与C项表达虽然不同，但意思基本一致。)

73．A(解析：可以用排除法解答此题，B项不可能，Clerc懂法语、手语、还在旅途中学习英语；C项文中既没有说明为什么与Eliza结婚，更谈不上当时是否有“绿卡”。D项没有足够的信息推断挣钱多少。根据文中"an excellent teacher, learned many different language, succeeded in school"等信息可以推断he was an intelligent man。)

74．B(解析：细节理解题。根据第五段中“Clerc studied English, and Gallaudet studied sign language．They discussed the school for the deaf which they planned to open．”可以确定答案是B。)

75．C(解析：逻辑顺序题。根据第三段Clerc went to school in Paris、第四段The two worked and studied well together第五段on June 18，1816．The voyage across the Atlantic Ocean和最后一段in 1819，Clerc got married可确定其先后顺序，C项正确。)
