II. Read the passage below and choose the correct answers. Write A, B, C or D 
in the spaces provided. (2 points)
Deaf people cannot hear sounds. How do they hear words and talk?
Deaf people use American Sign Language (ASL). They talk with their hands. 
Sometimes two deaf people talk to each other. They both use ASL. Sometimes a 
person who can hear interprets for deaf people. The person listens to someone 
talking, and then he or she makes hand signs.
There are two kinds of sign language. One kind has a sign for every letter in the 
alphabet. The person spells every word. That is finger spelling. The other kind has a 
sign for every word. There are about 5,000 of these signs. They are signs for verbs, 
things and ideas.
Some of these signs are very easy, for example, eat, milk and house. You can see 
what they mean. Others are more difficult, for example, star, egg, or week. 
People from any country can learn ASL. They use signs, not words, so they can 
understand people from other countries.
ASL is almost like a dance. The whole body talks. American Sign Language is a 
beautiful and useful language.
1. Deaf person is the one who cannot _______.
 A. talk B. hear sounds C. seeing anything D. make signs
2. There are _______kinds of sign language.
 A. two B. 5,000 C. three D. many
3. In this passage, “to interpret” means _______.
 A. to say B. to teach
 C. to set forth the meaning of something D. to tell
4. Why is ASL a beautiful language?
 A. It helps deaf people talk to each other and it also makes people from different 
 countries understand one another.
 B. It’s like a dance.
 C. People can teach and learn it easily.

III. Read the passage, then answer the questions. (2 points)
Parks have long been thought of as vast city-owned, tree-covered areas which have 
been put aside for people to relax in. They are expected to be large enough for 
activities like cycling, running, public gatherings, and various outdoor games. 
Investment, maintenance, and renovation of parks are all the job of the city. However, 
many modern and densely-populated cities have little land for such traditional parks.
Instead of complaining about the lack of such parks in their city, a group of 
concerned residents of Creek County in California have become more creative in 
building new neighbourhood and community parks. These parks may often be 
smaller in size, but they can still bring to a community most of the benefits of a much 
larger green space, providing balance amid busy and populous areas. These 
volunteers have been successful in turning some abandoned public locations in the 
area into green and relaxing spaces. The project has been greeted with lots of local 
enthusiasm, and has involved almost every resident in the area: cleaning up the area, 
planting trees and flowers, putting in benches, and creating outdoor activities for 
children. Volunteers also help maintain the parks.
This plan has attracted interest from different parts of the city. Now there are more 
than ten other similar projects operating throughout the city.
1.What are parks traditionally expected to be like?
2.Who is usually in charge of building such parks?
3.Why is it difficult for modern cities to have a traditional park?
4.What is special about the creation of this neighbourhood park?
Part 4: WRITING (4 points)
Write a paragraph about the benifits of living in the city (about 100-120 words).
