综合英语5Unit5练习答案

Unit 5 Force of NatureText Comprehension1. Decide which of the following best states the author's purpose.A.To display Marie Curie's career as a Nobel Prize winner.B.To honor Marie Curie who made magnificent contribution in science.C.To unfold Marie Curie's complex life as glorious and tragic.D.To introduce Marie Curie and her family.Key: [ C ]2. Judge, according to the text, whether the following statements are true or false.1). At first I only knew that Marie Curie, a brilliant woman scientist, was the first person to win two Nobel Prizes. [ T ]2). Marie Curie was obsessively engaged in her research after her daughters were born. [ F ]3). As governess to a wealthy family, Marie Curie fell in love with Casimir Zorawski, the young master. As his father threatened to disinherit him, she left Warsaw with courage for Paris, where her new life began. [ T ]4). Marie Curie left Warsaw for Paris at the age of 18. [ F ]5). The place where the Curies were working was dark, damp, shabby, and sad, more like a stable than a lab. [ T ]6). The Curies became world famous, especially after they won a Nobel Prize in physics in 1903 for the discovery of radium and polonium. [ F ]7). Eve Curie, a year old when her father died, wrote that Pierre's death marked a crucial moment in her mother's life. [ F ]8). Shortly after her husband's funeral, Madame Curie went into the lab immediately though she should have stayed with her family and friends. [ T ]9). A second Nobel Prize in chemistry was awarded to the Curies for isolating the elements radium and polonium. [ F ]10). According to the author, Madame Curie conquered colossal obstacles in science, but paid an enormous personal price. Her life was so complex that her glory was mingled with tragedy. [ T ]Writing StrategiesThis text is a biographical sketch of the great woman scientist Marie Curie. Except for the first three paragraphs, which make up the introductory part of the story, the narration of the major events in Madame Curie's life follows the chronological order. To make her narration and description more graphical and impressive, the author has used some metaphorical expressions and sentences. For example, the expression 'drag by' used in paragraph 4 immediately makes the reader share the way Marie felt about those four long years of waiting.Can you find more instances of metaphorical language used in the text?More instances of metaphorical language found in the text:Paragraph 1: “her arms wrapped around her daughters”Paragraph 3: Also she was a woman driven by passions, fighting battles much of her life withwhat a doctor now would probably diagnose as severe depression.Paragraph 5: “walked into history”.Paragraph 7: “The reality was a lot grittier”Paragraph 9: For the Curies, though, their triumph contained the seeds of their tragedy.Paragraph 10: "A cape of solitude and secrecy fell upon her shoulders forever."While the purpose of writing a biographical sketch or a biography is to present the major events that happen during the lifetime of the person concerned, it is also common for the writer to offer his/her own personal assessment. Madame Curie is recognized by the whole world as a renowned scientist, but she appeals to the author not just as a great scientist, but, perhaps more essentially, as a woman. This point is made clear in the sentence in the last paragraph: The Marie Curie that I discovered was no icon but a flesh-and-blood woman.Can you find some supporting evidence of this point in the introductory part of the text?→Elaboration of this point is mainly found in the second paragraph of the text:Looking back, I think I admired that photo so much, not because of Marie Curie and what she stood for but because she seemed so exotic -- or maybe because of how her arms encircled her girls. My own mother lay in the hospital, recovering from a grave injury in a car crash. I wanted her to hold me, but she couldn't. So, instead, I idolized Marie, who in my mind became the strongest and most capable woman in the world.Language Work1. Explain the underlined part in each sentence in your own words.1). I didn't know very much about Curie beyond the basics.→ except the most important aspects of her life2). I was just a girl with little direction…→ having no concrete goals or purposes to attain3). Marie Curie's own daughters grew into accomplished women in their own right.→ because of their own efforts and talents4). …for months she'd find places to hide so she could cry her eyes out.→ cry to her heart's content5). …where sh e changed her name, enrolled at the Sorbonne -- and walked into history.→ and thus launched her journey to become sb. to remember6). …Pierre's death marked the defining moment in her mother's life.→ represented the most crucial change2. Fill in each blank with one of the two words from each pair in their appropriate forms and note the difference of meaning between them.glistening luminousExplanation: Luminous describes a source of light, indicating the brightness or clarity, but it can also specifically suggest a soft or barely perceivable radiance or one enclosed within or seen through something else. Glistening is almost exclusively restricted to reflected light, althoughsometimes it does suggest in addition to dimness an undulating reflection or a moist surface.1). The luminous wallpaper had attractive silhouettes of young women.2). The luminous stars in the clear northern night sky brought back all the beautiful memories of her childhood.3). A six-person shower was full of glistening naked bodies and a tangle of arms and legs.4). He could see the gunners, their eyes hidden behind goggles and their faces glistening with sweat.More: brilliant: very bright, splendid, or showy in appearance.radiant: sending out light or heat in all directions, shinning; (of a person) showing loveand happinessshiny: esp. of a smooth surface looking as if polishedbright: giving out or throwing back light very strongly; fully light; famous, gloriousgrave seriousBoth words emphasize something that is urgent or crucial and that promises to have an extremely undesirable outcome. Grave is the more restricted of the two, specifically suggesting something that may well have a fatal conclusion. Serious is more general and it suggests the crucial, ponderous, or solemn, but with less emphasis on urgency and even less on negative eventualities.1). The AIDS patient finally couldn't survive the grave illness and left his five helpless children at the mercy of charity.2). This is a serious and good-faith effort to try to engage in a dialogue.3). The US finally became serious about toppling Saddam and the devastating war began.4). We had to tip up the bed and the model was in grave danger of falling off it.More: significant: a significant amount or effect is large enough to be important or affect a situation to a noticeable degreesolemn: someone or something that is solemn is very serious rather than cheerful orhumorousbasic: if one thing is basic to another, it is absolutely necessary to it, and the secondthing cannot exist, succeed, or be imagined without itfantasy imaginationBoth words refer to the mind's power to call up images, to picture or conceive things that are not actually before the eye or within the experience. Fantasy is imagination divorced from reality. The creations of fantasy may be delightfully bizarre or may be weird and grotesque, as in the case of science-fiction stories depicting monstrous beings from Mars. Engaged in fantasy, the imagination projects unreal images or imaginary scenes on the screen of the mind, creating a dream world. 1). In lives that are always difficult to comprehend, we are all accustomed to retreating into a world of fantasy, illusion and omnipotence.2). Seeing the dome at close quarters, I was struck by its failure of imagination, its sheer ugliness.3). She tortured herself with fantasies of Bob and his new girlfriend.4). Doomsday fantasies have haunted the popular imagination of this century, from nuclear Armageddon to alien invasions.More: fiction: fiction refers to books and stories about imaginary people and events, rather than books about real people or eventsfallacy: a fallacy is an idea which many people believe to be true, but which is in factfalse because it is based on incorrect information or reasoningprominent outstandingBoth words refer to something of unusual distinction or relevance by reason of its excellence or motivating force. Outstanding, besides its general meaning of being excellent, suggests a feature that is sharply distinct from its surroundings. Prominent carries less suggestions of excellence than outstanding, and it may point to status gained on other grounds entirely, or suggest merely familiarity to a wide audience.1). Tina was presented with a trophy for her outstanding contribution to the music industry.2). The Fords' family is wealthy and socially prominent, and now intends to enter into politics.3). It has to be the most beautiful clubhouse in Denmark, and the restaurant is quite outstanding.4). Prominent American educators, such as Horace Mann, Henry Barnard, etc. sought to increase educational opportunity for all children by creating the common-school movement.3. Fill in the blank in each sentence with a word or phrase taken from the box, using its appropriate form.obsessively congeal icon luminousmetamorphosis fete pernicious definitelyretreat devastating a shred of a fleet of1). A useful definition of an air pollutant is a compound added directly or indirectly by humans to the atmosphere in such quantities as to affect humans, animals, vegetation, or materials.2). The most distant luminous objects seen by telescopes are probably ten thousand million light years away.3). "Want some wine?" she asked. He smiled and took a swig from the bottle. He thanked her and retreated again into his silence.4). The self-educated son of a Delaware farmer, Evans became obsessed by the possibilities of mechanized production and steam power.5). Stone carvers engraved their motifs of skulls and crossbones and other religious icons of death, into the gray slabs that we still see standing today in old burial grounds.6). The employment department has undergone several metamorphoses over the past few years.7). Respect is never given freely; every shred of it has to be earned and you earn it by how well you treat others.8). The professor argued that these books had a pernicious effect on young and susceptible minds.4. Make a sentence of your own for each of the given words with meanings other than those used in the text. You may change the part of speech of these words.1). upHe suddenly stopped talking, and his friends knew something was up.2). crash→ The angry wife dropped the tray of bowls and plates with a crash.3). accomplished→Numerous experiments have shown that once the concept of self is changed, other things consistent with the new concept of self, are accomplished easily and without strain.4). stroke→ She looked down at her lap while one hand absently stroked the other.5). stable→ Nothing is fixed and permanently stable. There must be movement forward, which is progress of a sort, or movement backward, which is decay and deterioration.6). defining→Worksheets require defining the problem in a clear and concise way and then listing all possible solutions to the problem.5. Rewrite the following sentences in such a way as to avoid dangling non-finite clauses.1). Reading in bed, my hands often get very cold.→ When I read in bed, my hands often get very cold.2). While cleaning his gun it went off unexpectedly.→ He was cleaning his gun when it went off unexpectedly.3). When carrying a gun it should never be pointed at anyone.→ When carrying a gun, you should never point it at anyone.4). Falling from such a height, we thought he would never survive.→ We thought falling from such a height he would never survive.5). Tied to a post, the sea was tossing the boat up and down.→ Tied to a post, the boat was tossed up and down by the sea.6). Barking furiously, I led the dog out of the room.→ Barking furiously, the dog was led out of the room.7). Reading the letter a second time, the meaning becomes clearer.→ Being read a second time, the letter becomes clearer in meaning.8). Wondering where to go, an advertisement caught her eye.→ As she was wondering where to go, an advertisement caught her eye.9).

Unit5Active reading (1)Language points1 It was snowing heavily … not just to track down the last-minute presents, but to escape the bittercold … (Para 1)To track down means to find something or someone after a long search.At Christmas many people give a lot of thought to find the right gift and buy presents well in advance,others wait and buy something at the last opportunity on Dec 24th to buy the last-minute presents.A place in society Unit 51572 He was not yet enjoying the Christmas spirit ... albeit a working dinner at Joanne’s. (Para 2)The word albeit is used for introducing a comment that slightly changes or reduces the effect of a previousremark, like even if it is / although …3 He was from a hard-working family in upstate Virginia … (Para 2)The word upstate means the place is in the northern part of a particular state in the US.4 But his demeanor concealed a Harvard law degree and an internship in DC witha congressman, ajunior partnership in a New York law firm, along with a razor-sharp intellect and an ability to thinkon his feet. (Para 2)Partnership refers to the position of being one of two or more people who own a company as partners.A junior partner is a newer or younger partner who has less responsibility or fewer shares than a seniorpartner.A razor-sharp intellect is a very intelligent mind, which is quick to think and react; it is as sharp as a razor.The ability to think on one’s feet means being able to think quickly in unexpected situations.5 Senator Rogers was a Democrat … who knew Capitol Hill inside out but who had neverthelessmanaged to keep her credibility with her voters as a Washington outsider. (Para 3)To know something inside out means to know something very well.A Washington outsider refers to someone who is outside the central groups or members of political circlesin Washington and is therefore possibly independent.Senator Rogers was in her third term of office (ie she had been a senator for at least eight years) and sheknew the Senate and the government institutions in Washington thoroughly. Still, she had kept an imagewith voters that she was an outsider (ie she had not been affected negatively by knowing Washington toowell or by becoming too much like other politicians).6 She was pro-abortion, anti-corruption, pro-low carbon emissions andanti-capital punishment, asfine a progressive liberal as you could find this side of the Atlantic. (Para 3)The prefix pro- means in favour of something or someone. The prefix anti- means against. Pro-abortion,anti-corruption, pro-low carbon emissions and anti-capital punishment, all of these examples have beenseen as important political issues in the US, which are debated in political campaigns and thereforepoliticians are generally expected to take a position on them. For example, Senator Rogers was in favourof reducing carbon emissions – the output of CO2 into the atmosphere, because she was aware of thenegative effect of high emissions on climate change.A progressive liberal is someone who believes in social or political change if most people want it,especially change that makes a system fairer.The expression this side of the Atlantic refers to North America. The other side of the Atlantic would be inEurope, and vice versa for speakers in Europe.7 It was election time in the following year, and the word was she was going to run for the Democraticnomination. (Para 3)The expression the word was means there was s ome talk that …, or people were saying that …Unit 5 A place in society158The Democratic nomination here refers to the official approval of a candidate for the president bythe Democratic party. The nomination takes place officially during the Democratic convention beforea presidential election campaign. Up to that point, there are candidates who run or compete for thenomination, later the Presidential candidates run for President. There are parallel processes in theRepublican party.8 He’d never been to Joanne’s … which had often been maligned, or its jazz orchestra, which had aguest slot for a well-known movie director who played trumpet, but because of the stellar qualityof its sophisticated guests: politicians, diplomats, movie actors,hall-of-fame athletes, journalists,writers, rock stars and Nobel Prize winners – in short, anyone who was anyone in this city of powerbrokers. (Para 4)To malign means to say unpleasant things about something or someone, usually unfairly.A guest slot refers to a guest appearance as a particular occasion in a series of performances orprogrammes.The expression anyone who is anyone means any really important person or someone with a well-knownname.Power brokers are the people who control or influence which people get political power in an area.The sentence means he knew the reputation of the restaurant for its famous guests; its reputation was notfor its food or live music (which included a jazz orchestra in which a famous film director sometimesplayed). The guests included politicians, diplomats, actors, journalists, writers, musicians and scientists –anyone who is well-known in Washington, a city in which many people are powerful or influential in thegovernment.9 Inside, the restaurant was heaving with people. (Para 5)The expression heaving with people means crowds of people are pushing and pulling, moving up anddown.10 “Good evening Miss Bacall, good evening Mr Hanks,” and clicked his fingers to summon anotherwaiter to show them to their table. (Para 8)Miss Bacall and Mr Hanks may be oblique references to film stars Lauren Bacall and Tom Hanks.To click one’s fingers means to make a noise with one’s fingers as a signal to summon or call someone.11 The head waiter blinked, and swallowed hard. (Para 22)To blink means to close and open one’s eyes quickly. Here, this shows surprise.To swallow hard means to make a movement in the throat as if swallowing food. Here this showsembarrassment – Alberto realized he has made a mistake.12 In a classless society, Rogers was the closest thing to aristocracy that America had. (Para 23)America has a reputation for being classless, ie it doesn’t have such social classes as European countriesare supposed to have. This means that there are no people like aristocrats, but Senator Rogers was sodistinguished that she seemed like an aristocrat, or very nearly an aristocrat.13 Alberto hovered for a moment, then went to speak to a colleague. (Para 23) To hover means to wait or stay for a moment while somebody decides what to do. This shows that he orshe is unsure for the moment.A place in society Unit 5159Reading and understanding2 Answer the questions.1 Where and when is the story set?The story is set in Joanne’s, a famous restaurant in New York on Christmas Eve.2 Who is Josh?Josh is a smart, hard-working lawyer in his early thirties. He is anAfrican-American.3 Why does he go to Joanne’s?He has an appointment at Joanne’s.4 Who is Jo Rogers?Jo Rogers is a senior Senator in Washington and a well-known person in America.5 How does the head waiter greet Josh?He greets Josh very badly. He has a disdainful, superior attitude towards Josh and behaves rudely.6 Where does he eventually seat him?At the back of the restaurant, close to the bathroom, near a half-opened window through which an icybreeze is blowing.7 What does everyone do when Jo arrives?Everybody becomes silent and turns to look at her and greets her with silent applause.8 What suggestion does the head waiter make?He suggests that they should sit at a better table in the middle of the restaurant, from which she can seeeverybody, or everybody can see her.9 Does Jo accept the invitation?No, she says the waiter brought her friend to that table, so they will stay there.3 Choose the best summary of the passage.Teaching tipsAsk Ss to give reasons why the other two summaries are not the best ones. Please see comments below.1 It’s Christmas time, and a young man comes into a very busy restaurant. The head waiter shows him to atable by an open window. A little later a well-known politician comes in and says she is dining with theyoung man. The head waiter suggests moving them both to a more comfortable table, but the politiciandeclines the offer, saying that she’s happy to stay there if her friend is happy there too.Comment: It summarizes some of the points. But the final sentence is wrong: The Senator doesn’t giveany conditions about staying at the table, she just says they will stay where the waiter seated her friend.2 A well-known politician arranges a meeting with a young man. She wants him to help her in her electioncampaign to become US President. They arrange to meet in a crowded restaurant, where they can speakinformally. The waiter doesn’t recognize the young man, and seats him at the worst table in the room,but when the politician arrives he realizes his mistake, as he knows the two need to be comfortable todiscuss politics.Comment: This is partially wrong and fails to capture the main idea, they arrange to meet at Joanne’sbecause it is a famous restaurant.Unit 5 A place in society1603 When a young black man arrives in a crowded and expensive restaurant, the head waiter makes him sitin the least comfortable place, even though a table has been booked for him and a “Ms Rogers”. WhenMs Rogers arrives, the waiter realizes that she is a well-known politician; and Ms Rogers realizes thather friend has been treated badly because of the colour of his skin. The waiter realizes his mistake too,and tries to make up for it, but it is too late.Comments: This is the best summary because it captures the main point about the treatment of Josh.The passage does not actually state that he was treated badly because of thecolour of his skin, but it isimplied and in the context it is likely to be the point of the story. Dealing with unfamiliar words4 Match the words in the box with their definitions.Teaching tips• To vary the way of doing the activity, ask Ss to work in pairs. Student A randomly picks a word in thebox and asks Student B about the meaning. Student B listens and finds the appropriate answer amongthe definitions. The point is that Ss should interact with each other. For example:A: Can you tell me the meaning of “sophisticated”?B: Yes, just a moment … it means knowing and understanding a lot about a complicated subject.That’s No 3.A: OK, thanks. (writes 3 beside the word)• In order to give the class an example, T may ask one pair to repeat the dialogue to the class. Theyshould try to speak fluently.1 money or goods that you give to an organization, especially one that helps people (donation)2 involving or done with a lot of energy, effort, attention etc (intense)3 knowing and understanding a lot about a complicated subject (sophisticated)4 supporting social and political change that aims to make a system fairer (progressive)5 capable of doing something in a satisfactory or effective way (competent)6 a new member of a company or an organization, especially someone who has recently joined (recruit)7 to deliberately make someone feel frightened, especially so that they will do what you want (intimidate)8 to experience or deal with something, especially a problem (encounter)5 Complete the paragraph with the correct form of the words in Activity 4.There are two big political parties in the United States: the Republican party, which is traditionallythe more conservative of the two, and the Democratic party, which is said to be more (1) progressive.One of the most interesting and (2) intense moments in American political life is the election campaignwhich comes before the presidential elections. Both parties need a lot of money to pay for the campaign,for which they rely on (3) donations made by individuals and organizations. Theyalso need a lot of new(4) recruits to work on the campaign. These people are usually young, intelligent and hard-working,(5) competent in their jobs and not easily (6) intimidated, since they are likely to (7) encounter a lot ofproblems which have to be resolved quickly. But they also need to be highly (8) sophisticated, to beable to understand what the American people want, and to communicate with them through the style andorganization of the election campaign.A place in society Unit 5161Additional activityWhen Ss have completed Activity 5, ask them to work in pairs and prepare a brief presentation forCultural Encounters, a slot in a Chinese TV show which gives insights into other cultures around theworld. Each pair should discuss and think of an interesting way to present the information in Activity 5, eg tomake it an interview, a conversation, or a monologue to the camera. Ss will need to introduce the informationand make conclusions using their own words. Choose one or two pairs to make presentations. For example:A: And now it’s time for Cultural Encounters, a brief look at cultures around the world. Today we sharesome insights into election campaigns in the US … I am with Miss Xie who is from Washington DC,the city at the heart of American politics. So, Miss Xie, can you tell us about the two main politicalparties?B: Yes. There are two big political parties ...A: And what about the election campaigns?B: The election campaigns are certainly one of the most interesting and intense moments in Americanpolitical life ...A: And I gather the parties use volunteer recruits?...A: Well, that’s all for now. Thank you very much, Miss Xie.

Its language is Arabic, spoken as the major language in the Middle East andNorth Africa.2 This annoyed Johan nesson and his superiors … but the Saudis wanted the intermediary to be there.(Para 1)An intermediary is a go-between (Para 4, Line 6), someone who talks to each of the people or groupsinvolved in business or other matters, usually passing information from one to the other or trying topersuade them to agree with each other. So this person mediates between them.3 Just when Johannesson’s superiors started to doubt the wisdom of the corporation’s investment inthese expensive trips, a telex arrived from Riyadh ... (Para 2)To doubt the wisdom means people are not at all sure about the judgment or decision.4 When he came to Riyadh it appeared that the conflict was over a minor issue and could easily beresolved … (Para 3)A conflict could be resolved. Apart from resolving a conflict, other collocations worth noting are thatconflicts can be solved, settled or handled. Problems can lead to, create or provoke conflicts or become asource of conflict, and conflicts might be avoided, averted or prevented. Unit 5 A place in society1685 This is known in cultural anthropology as the extended family. (Para 5) The extended family is usually the wider family members of a married couple and children, withgrandparents and perhaps uncles, aunts and in-laws who live together or are in regular contact. The nuclearfamily (Para 6, Line 9) is a married couple and their children only, in the classical definition in sociology.6 The “we” group is distinct from other people in society who belong to “they” groups, of which thereare many. The “we” group (or in-group) is the major source of one’s identity …(Para 5)The in-group is the “we” group to which people feel they belong to first for their identity. Thecomplementary group is the out-group or the “they” group to which the in-group may sometimes beopposed, or at other times the in-group is just a tighter group within many larger out-groups.Reading and understanding3 Choose the best answer to the questions.1 Who was Johannesson?(a) A businessman with good contacts in Saudi Arabia.(b) An engineer who lived in Saudi Arabia.(c) An engineer working for a Swedish company.(d) A 30-year-old Swede with a British university degree.2 Why was he sent to Saudi Arabia?(a) To work for a Saudi engineering firm.(b) To work on a project funded by the Saudi government.(c) To take the place of a Swedish engineer who was already there.(d) To learn about Saudi customs and traditions.3 Why wasn’t he happy about the meet ings with the Saudis?(a) The Saudis spent too much time laughing and joking.(b) The trips to Saudi Arabia were long and tiring.(c) The Saudi brothers didn’t speak good English.(d) Another Swedish man was always present.4 What happened after the contract was signed?(a) Johannesson lost his job with the Swedish corporation.(b) The Swedish businessman returned to Sweden.(c) The attitude of the Saudis towards Johannesson changed.(d) The Swedish corporation stopped doing business in Saudi Arabia.5 Why was Johannesson sent to work in a different division?(a) As a reward for getting the contract with the Saudis.(b) Because he wasn’t suited to work with the Saudis.(c) Because he had become too friendly with the Saudis.(d) Because he had got too frustrated by the experience in Saudi Arabia.6 Why was he asked to return to Saudi Arabia?(a) The corporation wanted him to start a new project.(b) There was a lot of new work to do so two people were needed.(c) The engineer who replaced Johannesson fell ill and had to go home.(d) The Saudis trusted only Johannesson to sort out a small problem.A place in society Unit 51694 Work in pairs and answer the questions.1 Why don’t Saudis like doing business with a company?They want to work with an individual that they know and trust.2 Which type of group is a company: a “we” group or a “they” group?A company is a “they” group unless it is a small company.3 What type of family is there in a collectivist society?Families in co llectivist societies are usually “extended”, ie they consist of a larger number of peopleliving closely together.4 How does an in-group give people protection from the hardships of life?

He told me that next week is Deaf Awareness Week and that we would be discussing it in class. He's already planned several activities and lectures, but, for obvious reasons, he also wanted me to make a class presentation.I stared at him in disbelief. How could I possibly make a presentation to the entire class? I was petrified. I didn't want to do it, and I told him so. He was determined, though. He really thought it would be a good opportunity for me to share my "culture" (his word) with my classmates. That got me thinking. Do I have a unique culture? I've never thought about it like that before.I went straight to the library to do some research. What makes different cultures recognizable and distinct? I know that language is what distinguishes so many cultures. I may be deaf but I still understand English. Yet, I do utilize a form of English that not everyone can understand—American Sign Language, or ASL. Once I realized that, I immediately looked for books about ASL so I could learn more.Soon after Thomas Gallaudet graduated from Yale University, he was commissioned to help teach Alice Cogswell, the deaf daughter of a wealthy local doctor. Gallaudet travelled to Europe, where deaf education had been in existence for a long time, to study communication among deaf people. He met Laurent Clerc in Paris, recruited him to help develop deaf education in the United States, and, in 1817, thetwo founded the American School for the Deaf in Hartford, Connecticut.Laurent Clerc began teaching American students the form of French Sign Language with which he was familiar. However, many of the students at the new school were already using their own unique form of sign language that had independently developed in their communities. Over time, and with extensive use, the various forms eventually evolved into what we now know as American Sign Language.Sign language is almost exclusively based on easily decipherable hand motions that represent spoken words. Since deaf people rely heavily on their sense of sight, this method of communication is logical. Body language is extremely important in ASL, and subtle movements of the eyebrows, mouth, or fingers often indicate connotations that are typically represented by tone of voice in spoken language.Interestingly, there is still no universal form of sign language that is readily understood by deaf people around the world. Indeed, though people in the United States and Great Britain speak English, American Sign Language and British Sign Language are distinctly different and "speakers" of each form would not be able to easily communicate with one another.You know what? I'm not so scared to make this presentation to my class next week. In fact, I'm actually looking forward to it. Maybe I'll even inspire some of my classmates to learn ASL! That would be great. I guess Mr Jenkins was right. I do have a special culture to share. American Sign Language is like a different language, and understanding that language is essential to understanding me and my culture.41. The writer of this passage is unable to _____.A. seeB. hearC. smellD. walk42. Even though this passage is in the form of a diary entry, the material is _____.A. entertainingB. persuasiveC. informativeD. fictitious43.

American Sign Language is a form of French Sign Language.C. Laurent Clerc introduced the first form of sign language to the United States.D. Every country has its own unique form of sign language.44. Which of the following events occurred in 1817?A. Thomas Gallaudet graduated form Yale University.B. Thomas Gallaudet met Laurent Clerc in Paris.C. Thomas Gallaudet and Laurent Clerc founded the American School for the Deaf.D. Laurent Clerc developed American Sign Language.45.

Why do you think this is so? There are a(n)(32)myriadof explanations, but many of them can be traced back to the basic(33)masculinestereotypes: strength, power, and dominance.

Words and ideas convey much more than the basic information we use them for. Our choice of words, examples, context, and grammatical structure all contribute to forming a picture of ourselves and our world view. However, language is not a neutral vehicle in the representation of reality, and the mere existence of non-sexist and feminist terms does not guarantee their usage.Many of the words and ideas we use in everyday speech are overtly coded with sexist or gendered understandings which distract from their true intent. The only way to truly create a neutral language is to eliminate all of the sexist, feminist, gender-encoded terms and replace them with new ones. However, even this is not a guarantee that the words will be used in the intended manner or even that the cultural understandings which are attached to the non-neutral terms will be changed. Sexist use of language can not, very feasibly, be changed simply through the replacement of certain words or terms. With the samecultural understanding in place, the new terms will only be appropriated to mean or signify the same thingas the old ones. There is inherent sexism in language.Language and cultural understanding are connected and have a reciprocating relationship. Anotherimplied sexist use of language is the tendency to refer to inanimate objects in English (with no grammatical gender) as gendered. This is seen in references to boats, planes, or cars as feminine. Perhaps the mostwidely-used example of this is the idea of Mother Nature. Historically, men have treated nature as they treat women—as something to be subdued, exploited, and admired. Our concepts of gender and the relation ofthose concepts to reality are reflected in our choice of words and referents.Language and our use of it are almost entirely entrenched in our understanding of the world.Therefore, commonly held beliefs about gender and the differences between men and women are reflectedin language use. When gender neutral or feminine terms are introduced into a society still dominated bymen, their intended neutrality is thwarted in actual usage. Indeed, if man equals human (linguistically and culturally), then man will always be the standard against which woman is measured.41. Which of the following would make the best title for this passage?A. The Neutrality of Language: Why Uninteresting Language is Sometimes BetterB. Language as a Mirror: How Our Words Reflect What We ThinkC. Gendered Language: How English Sets a Perfect ExampleD. The Culture of Language: Why We Think the Way We Do42.

Anc ient Greece and Rome constructed and valued "museums," though they were largely centers of philosophical thought, rather than repositories of valuable objects. Neverth eless, the ancient world still had public collections of objects which resembled the mo dern concept of a museum. Greek temples and Roman forums often displayed gold a nd silver offerings, sculptures, and paintings.During the 15th century, the modern concept of museums came into fashion in Euro pe. During the following few centuries, museums such as the Ashmolean Museum, th e Vatican museums, the British Museum, and the Louvre were founded and opened. The first modern museums began as private collections of wealthy individuals who a massed extensive collections and then exhibited them for public viewing. The moder n museum has been described as "a product of Renaissance humanism, eighteenth-century enlightenment, and nineteenth-century democracy." These first museums were, however, rarely accessible to the pu blic beyond the upper classes.Until the 18th century, museums were chiefly concerned with collecting the beautiful and the curious, and this was often done for personal interests. During the 19th and 20th centuries, however, museums and cultural institutions proliferated throughout E urope and the United States. It was during this intense period of proliferation that th e concept of the museum as something more than just a storehouse for invaluable tr easures was developed. Museums began to dedicate themselves to collection, conser vation, preservation, and research. Natural history, science, and art museums becam e scholarly centers of academic research and thought. Once museums and other cult ural institutions became public, exhibition became a much more predominant concer n. Preexisting museum goals ., collection, conservation, and preservation) suddenly b ecame the means to procure interesting and desirable exhibitions.Museums in the United States developed slowly. Charles Wilson Peale founded his na tural history museum in the late 18th century in Philadelphia, and he is considered th e first great American museum director. In 1846, James Smithson made a bequest to the United States "for the increase and diffusion of knowledge" which led to the dev elopment of the Smithsonian Institution. The United States finally made itsmark on the development of the modern museum in 1870 with the founding of the A merican Museum of Natural History and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York and the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston. Throughout the 20th century, museums and other cultural institutions began to focus on education. American museums, especial ly, are devoted to public education in their specific areas of expertise. Many such organizations have also transformed themselves into cultural centers with performing art s, music, and film presentations.41. Which of the following museums was the first to open?A.

The truth, however, bears no resemblance (32)whatsoeverto this image.In movies, members of organized crime typically (33)intimidateinnocentbusiness owners to pay them "protection money"—which is actually a fee the citizens need to pay for protection from the very people they're paying.

He told me that next week is Deaf Awareness Week and that we would be discussing it in class. He's already planned several activities and lectures, but, for obvious reasons, he also wanted me to make a class presentation.I stared at him in disbelief. How could I possibly make a presentation to the entire class?I was petrified. I didn't want to do it, and I told him so. He was determined, though. He really thought it would be a good opportunity for me to share my "culture" (his word) with my classmates. That got me thinking. Do I have a unique culture? I've never thought about it like that before.I went straight to the library to do some research. What makes different cultures recognizableand distinct? I know that language is what distinguishes so many cultures. I may be deaf but I still understand English. Yet, I do utilize a form of English that not everyone can understand—American Sign Language, or ASL. Once I realized that, I immediately looked for books about ASL so I could learn more.Soon after Thomas Gallaudet graduated from Yale University, he was commissioned to help teach Alice Cogswell, the deaf daughter of a wealthy local doctor. Gallaudet travelled to Europe, wheredeaf education had been in existence for a long time, to study communication among deaf people. Hemet Laurent Clerc in Paris, recruited him to help develop deaf education in the United States, and,in 1817, the two founded the American School for the Deaf in Hartford, Connecticut.Laurent Clerc began teaching American students the form of French Sign Language with which he was familiar. However, many of the students at the new school were already using their own unique form of sign language that had independently developed in their communities. Over time, and with extensive use, the various forms eventually evolved into what we now know as American Sign Language.Sign language is almost exclusively based on easily decipherable hand motions that represent spoken words. Since deaf people rely heavily on their sense of sight, this method of communication is logical. Body language is extremely important in ASL, and subtle movements of the eyebrows, mouth, or fingers often indicate connotations that are typically represented by tone of voice in spoken language.Interestingly, there is still no universal form of sign language that is readily understood by deaf people around the world. Indeed, though people in the United States and Great Britain speak English, American Sign Language and British Sign Language are distinctly different and "speakers" of each form would not be able to easily communicate with one another.You know what? I'm not so scared to make this presentation to my class next week. In fact, I'm actually looking forward to it. Maybe I'll even inspire some of my classmates to learn ASL! That would be great. I guess Mr Jenkins was right. I do have a special culture to share. American Sign Language is like a different language, and understanding that language is essential to understanding me and my culture.41.
