From the time I was a child growing up in New Jersey, I loved spending weekends with my grandparents. I
felt ____ 1 ___ in Granny’s small kitchen. We always had peaceful conversations, and Granny always seemed to
include some wisdom with every dish she prepared.
I remember one Saturday morning. I was about 11 years old. After breakfast I asked Granny, “What kind of
soup are you making today?” “Vegetable beef,” she answered. “And you can help by cutting some carrots.” As I
slowly cut the carrots, I said, “I’ve got to give a report next week and I’m scared (害怕的). I don’t like standing in
front of everybody. What if I forget what I’m going to say? Or what if somebody laughs?” “And what if you do just
fine?” Granny asked. “Have you ___ 2 ___ notes?” “Well, no. That would be a lot of work.” “Hard work never
___ 3 ___ anyone,” Granny said. “You could try practicing in front of a ___ 4 ___ . It’s easy to find how well you are
practicing.”
I pushed the pieces of carrots to the side of the cutting board and went on to complain (抱怨) about
schoolwork, friends and family. Granny took it all in, listening ____ 5 ____ while I talked about so many pieces of
grief (伤心事) in my life. “Nancy, ” she said, “there’s nothing wrong with a little trouble in your life. Well, you

such a little trouble. It adds flavor (滋味) to my soup — and to my life. My soup would be pretty bland (平淡)
___ 7 ___ the vegetables, and so would my life if it didn’t have the little ups and downs.” She smiled and then
started washing the dishes. While I helped Granny clean up, I thought about what she had said. I still had a few
days to practice my report.
That Saturday, Granny gave me food for ___ 8 ___ as well as a bowl of her homemade soup. As I __ 9 ___ the
meal with my grandparents, somehow (不知何故) my problems didn’t seem so big any more. Maybe I could turn a
little trouble into something as ___ 10 ____ as Granny’s homemade soup. I would have to work on them. Granny

二、阅读理解（共4篇每题2分，共40分）
A
There is one language used in every country in the world. It is everybody’s second language. It is easy to
understand, although you can’t hear it. It is sign language.
For example, 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.” A policeman is
using sign language when he holds up his hands to stop traffic. Even a baby can use sign language when she
points at things that she wants.
Many years ago, a French priest（牧师）called Charles Michel invented a finger alphabet（字母表）for deaf
people. 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 US, 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 one
hand above and the other below, empty in the middle, 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
behind closed windows. And when you go swimming with your friends, you can have conversations under water.
1. If you want to express the idea that “I am very friendly” to someone, you will .
A. raise your hand B. smile to the person
C. put one hand onto the other D. make a roof with your hands
2. What is sign language according to the article?
A. It is only used by the deaf.
B. It can be heard by people under the water.
C. It is a way to express one’s ideas without words.
D. It is a special language used in a few countries in the world.3.The underlined word “ them ” (paragraph 3) refers to ______________.
A. schools B. deaf people C. hands D. words
4. How to express sandwich with your hands?
A. B. C. D.
