It is everybody’s second language. It is easy to understand, although you can’t hear it. It is sign language.‎ ‎ When you wave to a friend who is across the street, you are using sign language. When you smile at someone, you are saying, “I want to be friendly”, but you are not using speech. You are using sign language. When you raise your hand in class, you are saying, “Please ask me. I think I know the correct answer.”‎ ‎ Babies who can’t talk can point at things. They are using sign language. A policeman who wants to stop traffic holds up his hands. He is using sign language.‎ ‎ Many years ago, a French priest, Charles Michel de Epee, became interested in education for deaf people. He invented a finger alphabet (字母表). It is still in use. People can make the sign for letters and spell words with their hands, and deaf people can read and understand them. Soon there were schools for the deaf in many countries. The only university for the deaf is Gallaudet College in Washington, D.C.‎ ‎ Today, in the United States, there are special TV news programs for deaf people. The newsreader tells the news in sign language. At the same time, the words appear on the TV screen.‎ ‎ The actors in the Theatre of Deaf don’t spell every word. Sometimes they use hand signs. When they put two hands together, it means sandwich. They can make a roof with their hands when they want to show a house. One finger in front of an actor’s mouth can mean quiet. You can talk to people who are behind windows that are closed. And when you go swimming with your friends, you can have conversations under water.‎ ‎ How many hand signs do you use every day?‎ ‎ 24. Which of the following about sign language is TRUE?‎ ‎ A. It is a special language used in a few countries in the world.‎ ‎ B. It is a way to express one’s ideas without words.‎ ‎ C.

The passage is mainly about ______.‎ ‎ A. an introduction to sign language B. the importance of sign language ‎ C. a famous priest in France D. how to use sign language C ‎ Far from the land of Antarctica(南极洲), a huge shelf of ice meets the ocean. At the underside of the shelf there lives a small fish, the Antarctic cod.‎ ‎ For forty years scientists have been curious about that fish. How does it live where most fish would freeze to death? It must have some secrets. The Antarctic is not a comfortable place to work and research has been slow. Now it seems we have an ‎ answer. ‎ Research was begun by cutting holes in the ice and catching the fish. Scientists studied the fish’s blood and measured its freezing point. ‎ The fish were taken from seawater that had a temperature of -1. 88℃ and many tiny pieces of ice floating in it. The blood of the fish did not begin to freeze until its temperature was lowered to -2. 05℃. That small difference is enough for the fish to live at the freezing temperature of the ice-salt mixture. ‎ The scientists’ next research job was clear: Find out what in the fish’s blood kept it from freezing. Their search led to some really strange thing made up of a protein(蛋白质) never before seen in the blood of a fish. When it was removed, the blood froze at seawater temperature. When it was put back, the blood again had its antifreeze quality and a lowered freezing point. ‎ Study showed that it is an unusual kind of protein. It has many small sugar molecules(分子) held in special positions within each big protein molecule. Because of its sugar content. It is called a glycoprotein. So it has come to be called the antifreeze fish glycoprotein, or AFGP. ‎ ‎28. What is the text mainly about?‎ A. The terrible conditions in the Antarctic. ‎ B. A special fish living in freezing waters. ‎ C. The ice shelf around Antarctica. ‎ D. Protection of the Antarctic cod. ‎ ‎29. Why can the Antarctic cod live at the freezing temperature?‎ A. The seawater has a temperature of -1. 88℃. ‎ B. It loves to live in the ice-salt mixture. ‎ C. A special protein keeps it from freezing. ‎ D. Its blood has a temperature lower than -2. 05℃. ‎ ‎30. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 5 refer to?‎ A. A type of ice-salt mixture. B. A newly found protein. ‎ C. Fish blood. D. Sugar molecule. ‎ ‎31. What does “glycol-” in the underlined word “glycoprotein” in the last paragraph mean?‎ A. sugar B. ice C. blood D. molecule D It’s only 4 hours flying time from Sydney, but a world away. What better place to rest than a country where the only place people hurry is on the football field and things are done in “Fiji time”?‎ Viti Levu – Great Fiji – is the largest island. Here you’ll find the capital Suva and the international airport at Nadi. On the other hand, Vatoa, is a tiny island in the farthest part of Fiji. Then there are 331 other islands, many of them with places to stay. ‎ With less than a million people living on islands, you’ll never feel crowded. And with a climate(气候) that changes only for five degrees between seasons, there’s never a bad time to come. ‎ From cities to villages, from mountains to beaches, from water sports to wooden artworks, Fiji can give you more adventures and special experiences than you could find ‎ almost anywhere in the world. ‎ Whenever you come, wherever you go, you’re sure to see some unforgettable events. From war dances to religious(宗教的) songs. From market days to religious days. It’s not just staged for tourists; it’s still a part of everyday life in Fiji. And any one of us can enjoy Fiji’s spirit by being part of the traditional(传统的) sharing of yaqona, a drink made from the root of a Fiji plant. ‎ So why not join us for the experience of a life-time?‎ ‎32.
