24、Communicating with Our Hands
We use our hands to communicate in many ways. The thumbs up sign shows agreement. A wave of the hand can be a gesture to mean hello. Many people make an “O” with their thumb and second finger to show that everything is OK.
While riding a bike, people use hand signals (信号) to communicate that they are going to turn left, or stop. Policemen wave traffic on or hold their hands up to direct drivers to stop. In classrooms, children often put up their hands for permission (许可), people clap their hands to show appreciation (赞赏) for a performance.
Some people use sign language (a system of hand gestures, facial expressions and body language) as their primary form of communication. Deaf people communicate through a system of sign language. Like different verbal (口头的) languages are spoken around the world (促进) communication and education of deaf people.
It has become common for parents to teach signs to little children. Babies can actually imitate (模仿) and use signs before they can speak clearly. This helps parents get to know what a child is in need of before the child is able to communicate his or her needs verbally (口头地).
Just as people study more spoken languages, an increasing number of people are choosing to study sign language in their free time. Each year, thousands of people learn sign language so they can more easily communicate with deaf people. Many companies are looking for workers with the ability to communicate through sign language. Many people learn sign language simply because they find it interesting and enjoy the challenge of learning a new skill. Sign language is growing in usage every day.
【1】Paragraph 2 mainly tells us ________.
A.hand signals are taught in many places

C.children use different kinds of hand signals
D.people often use their hands to communicate
【2】Parents teach signs to their little children because ________.
A.their children want to learn them
B.it helps them get to know what their children need

【3】What can we learn from the passage? ________
A.Companies should teach workers how to use sign languages.
B.Sign languages need to be improved in many places.
C.More and more people are interested in sign languages.
D.Sign languages are much more difficult for young children.
25、 The deer (鹿) is the king of the woods. The deer is one of the largest woodland animals, but it is so shy that you might find it hard to really spot one. During the day, deer hide in the high grass quietly, listening for any noise and ready to run away at the first sign of danger. Nighttime is when deer really get active. They move around all the time in search of grass and other plants to eat. They can run as far as 60 km in one night! Female (雌性的) deer live in groups with their young, while males (雄鹿) prefer to be on their own or with other males.
But in the autumn, things change. The woods are full of the sounds of male deer. They let out sounds to draw females’ attention and to let other males know that they are ready to fight over the female deer. Male deer fight each other with their antlers (鹿角).
A baby deer is called a fawn (幼鹿). The coat of a newborn fawn is covered in pretty white spots (斑点) that disappear as it gets older. The mother deer watches over her babies and bravely protects them from dangers. Although female deer don't have antlers, they fight off other animals by kicking!
A male deer's antlers carry on growing all his life. A ten-year-old deer's antlers can have more than 10 branches (分枝) and weigh 20 kg each. Every spring, the antlers drop off and an even larger set will take their place. You can tell how old a deer is by counting the number of branches on his antlers. The more branches it has, the older the deer is.
【1】In Paragraph 1, the word "spot" has the closest meaning to "________".

26、In 1845, a deadly disease struck Ireland, killing all the Lumper potato plants. In another place or time, the death of single crop species might not have been so important. But in Ireland, in 1845, people depended almost solely on the potato for food. The death of one species caused a terrible famine(饥荒). Now, some scientists are worried that such a famine could happen again, but on a much wider area.
Over the centuries, farmers have discovered thousands of different species of food crops. However, you won’t find many of these species in your local supermarket. To feed the seven billion people on Earth, most farmers today are growing only species of plants and farming only species of animals that are easy to produce in large numbers.
In the Philippines, there were once thousands of varieties of rice: now fewer than 100 are grown there. In China, 90% of the wheat varieties grown just a century ago have disappeared. Scientists believe that over the past century, more than half of the world’s food varieties disappeared.
One solution to this problem is to collect and store the seeds as many different plant varieties as we can before they disappear. The idea was first suggested by Russian scientist Nikolay Vavilov. In the 1920s and 1930s, he collected around 400,000 seeds from five continents. More recently, others are continuing the work he began.
In the US state of Iowa, Diane Ott Whealy wanted to protect historic plant varieties, like the seeds her great grandfather brought to the US from Germany more than a hundred years ago. She and her husband started a place called Heritage Farm, where people can store and trade seeds.
More importantly, people at Heritage Farm don’t just store the seeds, they plant them. By doing this, they are reintroducing foods into the marketplace that haven’t been grown for years. These food species are not just special in terms of appearance or taste. They also offer farmers food solutions for the future, from the past.
【1】What is this passage mainly about?
A.The fact that many food species are dying out.
B.The need to protect potatoes from disappearing.
C.The ways to increase the number of food species.
D.The ways to prevent food species from disappearing.
【2】The underlined word “solely” in Paragraph 1 is in closest meaning to __________ .
A.immediately
B.only
C.rarely
D.occasionally
【3】Why are some scientists worried that such a famine could happen again?
A.Because people depend on certain species of food crops.
B.Because the same deadly disease may attack crops again.
C.Because the world’s population is larger than that in 1845.
D.Because farmers grow the same potatoes as those in the past.
【4】What can we learn from the passage?
A.The disease spread very quickly and killed many people in Ireland.
B.Around 80 percent of the rice varieties in the Philippines have disappeared.
C.Heritage Farm is the first place in the US for people to store and trade seeds.
D.People have been storing seeds to save plant varieties for more than 150 years.
27、 It was Day 1 of our vacation on Cortes, a beautiful island. “iPhone, iPhone, iPhone,” my son kept moaning. In front of him was a big window facing the blue ocean. And a cool gentle wind was coming in from the door. Clearly, he saw and felt none of it.
Back at home, I’d soon give up and hand the phone over to him after five minutes of listening to this kind of moaning.
But not here. Before we left, I had told my 10-year-old son the rule — no emails, no Facebook, no video games, and no iPhone. We came here to get away from them all. Here we were on our first day and already, he couldn’t stand it.
_______ I walked down the grass road to the beach and looked out to the sea. My 6-year-old daughter and my husband were drawing on pieces of wood. They were doing just fine.
On Day 2, we spent the whole morning digging for shells(贝壳). This time, my son joined us. He collected shellfish and other sea treasures. When we got back to our little wood house, I gave my son a book, and put him on the lovely garden chair. It was almost dinner when he looked up.
The next few days passed in peace.
On Day 6, my son was lying beside me on the beach, watching the sun going down. He was playing with the sand. And there was something shining in his eyes. I realized how time slowed down for both of us. It was exactly what I wanted. Finally, we were able to sit quietly without thinking about screens, phone calls and e-mail.
A week away from all the electronics and life is good.
