【题目】Together the two boys, who go to Escondido High School in California, have had the difficult job of learning in schools where the majority of the students can speak and hear. Orlando lost his hearing at the age of one. German was born deaf, and his parents moved from Mexico to find a school where he could learn sign language. He met Orlando on their first day of kindergarten.

“We were in a special class with about 25 other deaf kids,” German remembers. “Before then, I didn’t know I was deaf and that I was different.”“Being young and deaf in regular classes was very hard,” signs Orlando. “The other kids didn’t understand us and we didn’t understand them. But we’ve all grown up together, and today, I’m popular because I’m deaf. Kids try hard to communicate with me.”

Some things are very difficult for the two boys.“We can’t talk on the phone, so if we need help, we can’t call an emergency service,” German signs. “And we can’t order food in a drive-thru.”

Despite their difficulties, the two boys have found work putting food in bags at a local supermarket. They got their jobs through a “work ability” program, designed for teenagers from local schools with different types of learning disabilities. German has worked in the supermarket since August, and Orlando started in November.“The other people who work here have been very nice to us,” Orlando signs.“They even sign sometimes. At first, we were nervous, but we’ve learned a lot and we’re getting better.”The opportunity to earn money has been exciting, both boys said. After high school, they hope to attend the National Technical Institute for the Deaf in New York.

【3】A

【解析】

试题分析:本文属于记叙文,讲述了两个聋哑人Orlando和German努力克服自身的残疾,在生活和学习上取得成功的小故事。

【1】C 推理判断题。根据第一段最后一句He met Orlando on their first day of kindergarten.可知自从上幼儿园开始,他们就已经相互认识了,就是很好的朋友了。故C项正确。

【2】B 词义猜测题。根据本句We can’t talk on the phone, so if we need help, we can’t call an emergency service。可知本句是在叙述当他们需要帮助的时候,因为他们无法听到别人说话,所以他们无法使用电话。名词“emergency”就是指他们需要帮助的时候,所需要的帮助。所以不可能是“危险、警报”,只能是紧急情况。故B正确。

【3】A 细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二句The opportunity to earn money has been exciting, both boys said.可知能够挣钱让两个男孩很高兴。故A正确。

Every day, in hundreds of ordinary situations, actions speak far louder than words. We talk with our mouth, but we communicate with our facial expressions, our tone of voice and our whole body.

【1】6 When we can read what others are saying unconsciously, we can deal with things---at work and at home before they become problems.

By understanding how to use body language, you can communicate more effectively. Here is how:

2 Throughout the day, notice details about the way you speak, gesture and move. When standing, keep your shoulders straight, your body open and your weight balanced on both feet.

Work on your handshake. 3 The handshake most likely to show confidence is firm and dry, with strong but not too much pressure.

Use eye contact. Eye contact is very important in forming an impression of someone. You should have the ability to keep direct eye contact if you want to be taken seriously, But some people feel uncomfortable when it is too strong. 4

Be yourself. Nonverbal(非言语的)messages come from deep inside you, from your own sense of self-respect. If you are comfortable with yourself, it shows. 5 They always give others a deep impression.

A. Use hand gestures carefully.

B. Pay attention to your body-talk.

C.A mirror can be useful to examine facial expressions.

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.” 【1】 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.2 However, you can speak with a limited vocabulary, if you choose a positive attitude. Others will follow you as long as you use the words that you know.

3 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. Your aim in writing is to be accurate following the rules for grammar and using them to get your message across. But to talk to someone in English, as quickly and well as you can, even though sometimes you may use a wrong word or tense, but it doesn’t matter.4

The third reason is that not enough attention is paid to listening. You have one mouth but two ears! All the hearing is necessary for you to start speaking.

Fourth, most Chinese students are reactive rather than proactive(主动的) language learners. Instead of actively seeking out opportunities to improve their spoken English they passively wait for speaking opportunities to come to them and wonder why their English always remains poor. 5

A. Second, they are afraid of making mistakes.

B. They may try to avoid making similar mistakes next time.

C. Obviously the better answer is to expand their vocabulary.

D. However, their spoken English does not have to remain “poor”!

E. The second reason lies in the reluctance of using what has just been learned.

F. The person you are speaking to will understand you and make allowances for any mistakes he hears.

G. If you have this proactive outlook, then you will see English opportunities wherever you go.
