Sign has become a scientific hot button. Only in the past 20 years have
specialists in language study realized that signed languages are unique—a speech of
the hand. They offer a new way to probe how the brain generates and understands
language, and throw new light on an old scientific controversy： whether language,
complete with grammar, is something that we are born with, or whether it is a learned
behavior. The current interest in sign language has roots in the pioneering work of one
rebel teacher at Gallaudet University in Washington, D.C., the world’s only liberal
arts university for deaf people. When Bill Stokoe went to Gallaudet to teach
English, the school enrolled him in a course in signing. But Stokoe noticed something
odd: among themselves, students signed differently from his classroom teacher.
Stokoe had been taught a sort of gestural code, each movement of the hands
representing a word in English. At the time, American Sign Language (ASL) was
thought to be no more than a form of pidgin English (混杂英语). But Stokoe believed
the “hand talk” his students used looked richer. He wondered: Might deaf people
actually have a genuine language? And could that language be unlike any other on
Earth? It was 1955, when even deaf people dismissed their signing as “substandard”.
Stokoe’s idea was academic heresy(异端邪说). It is 37 years later. Stokoe—now
devoting his time to writing and editing books and journals and to producing video
materials on ASL and the deaf culture—is having lunch at a cafe near the Gallaudet
campus and explaining how he started a revolution. For decades educators fought his
idea that signed languages are natural languages like English, French and Japanese.
They assumed language must be based on speech, the modulation (调节) of sound.
But sign language is based on the movement of hands, the modulation of space.
“What I said,” Stokoe explains, “is that language is not mouth stuff—it’s brain stuff.
“ (340 words)
1． The study of sign language is thought to be______.
A．a new way to look at the learning of language
B．a challenge to traditional views on the nature of language
C．an approach to simplifying the grammatical structure of a language
D．an attempt to clarify misunderstanding about the origin of language
正确答案：B
解析：本题属于细节推断题。这篇文章开头介绍了手语研究的进展以及意义，“进展”指过去的20年研究人员发现了手语的独特性(realized that signed
languages are unique)，意义是指手语的这一发现为研究大脑如何应用与理解语言开辟了新的方向(a new way to probe how the brain generates and understands
language)，同时为一个古老的科学论题带来了新的希望：语言到底是天生的还是后天习得的(whether language…is something that we are born with，or whether it is a
learned behavior)。可知答案为B。 知识模块：英文阅读理解
2． The present growing interest in sign language was stimulated by______.
A．a famous scholar in the study of the human brain
B．a leading specialist in the study of liberal arts
C．an English teacher in a university for the deaf
D．some senior experts in American Sign Language
正确答案：C
解析：本题属于细节理解题。题目问的是，当前对手语的越来越高涨的兴趣是由谁激发的。第一段段末和第二段段首给我们介绍了一位先驱人物Stokoe的基本信息：华盛顿特区一所聋人大学的教师。他在学校教授英语。对照选项，显然答案为C。 知识模块：英文阅读理解
3． According to Stokoe, sign language is______.
A．a substandard language
B．a genuine language
C．an artificial language
D．an international language
正确答案：B
解析：本题属于细节理解题。根据文章第三段，我们了解到当时人们普遍认为美国手语不过是一种混杂英语(thought to be no more than a form of pidgin
English)，这里也在强调手语从属于语言。之后是Stokoe自己的发现与思考：他认为学生们使用的手语意义比人们的普遍认为的要更为丰富(the“hand talk”his
students used looked richer)，同时受到了启发：或许聋人确实拥有一种真正的语言。可知答案为B。 知识模块：英文阅读理解
4． Most educators objected to Stokoe’s idea because they thought______.
A．sign language was not extensively used even by deaf people
B．sign language was too artificial to be widely accepted
C．a language should be easy to use and understand
D．a language could only exist in the form of speech sounds
正确答案：D
解析：本题属于细节理解题。题目问的是，许多教育者都反对Bill Stokoe的观点，是因为他们认为什么。根据“For decades educators fought his idea that
signed languages are natural languages like English，French and Japanese．They
assumed language must be based on speech，the modulation(调节)of sound．”，即得出答案为D。 知识模块：英文阅读理解
5． Stokoe’s argument is based on his belief that______.
A．sign language is as efficient as any other language
B．sign language is derived from natural language
C．language is a system of meaningful codes
D．language is a product of the brain
正确答案：D
解析：本题属于细节理解题。根据文章最后一段我们得知：很多教育家们反对Stokoe的观点，认为语言必须以语音为基础，是声音的变体(language must be
based on speech，the modulation of sound)，而Stokoe则认为手语恰恰以手的动作为基础(sign language is based on the movement of hands)，进一步解释说“语言不是嘴巴层次的东西，而是大脑层次的东西(brain stuff)”。由此可知答案为D。 知识模块：英文阅读理解

People born in autumn live longer than those born in spring and are less likely to fall chronically
ill when they are older, according to an Austrian scientist. Using census(人口普查)data for more
than one million people in Austrian, Denmark and Australia, scientists at the Max Plank Institute
for Demographic(人口统计的)Research found the month of birth was related to life expectancy over
the age of 50. Seasonal differences in what mothers ate during pregnancy, and infections occurring
at different times of the year could both have an impact on the health of a new-born baby and
could influence its life expectancy in old age. "A mother giving birth in spring spends the last
stage of her pregnancy in winter, when she will eat fewer vitamins than in summer," said one of

Researchers have shown that noise can adversely affect human in both
physiological and psychological ways. Hearing losses in particular
occupations such as shipbuilding and construction work are well-known. In fact, however, we all find hearing more difficult as we
age. Young ears can distinguish a wide range of sounds from low to
very high frequencies, while older ears lose the ability to
distinguish high-pitched sounds. A comparison of people living in
some industrialized and non-industrialized areas suggests that this
hearing loss may not necessarily accompany old age. Furthermore, a
closer inspection of other data reveals economic effects. For
instance, an increased turnover in property has been observed in
noisy areas near airports. Job performance can be adversely affected

题型有：1. Wal-Mart’s achievement caps a bigger economic shift—from
producing goods to providing services. Manufacturing’s share of U. S. employment
peaked in 1953, at 35%. It has been declining steadily since. In the decade that will
end in 2010, the Bureau of Labor Statistics figures that goods-producing industries
will create 1. 3 million new jobs, compared to 20 million for service industries. To
look at it another way, today there are about four times as many people working in
service jobs as in other kinds of jobs. And even within manufacturing, services are an
increasingly large share of operations. As America got richer, consumption got
more complicated. With more income to throw around, people started spending more
on services—movies and travel, mortgages to buy houses, insurance to protect those

0 People living on parts of the south coast of England face a serious problem. In 1993,
the owners of a large hotel and of several houses discovered, to their horror, that their
gardens had disappeared overnight. The sea had eaten into the soft limestone cliffs on
which they had been built. While experts were studying the problem, the hotel and
several houses disappeared altogether, sliding down the cliff and into the sea.
Erosion (侵蚀) of the white cliffs along the south coast of England has always been a
problem but it has become more serious in recent years. Dozens of homes have had to be
abandoned as the sea has crept farther and farther inland. Experts have studied the areas
most affected and have drawn up a map for local people, forecasting the year in which
