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.

答案以及解析
一、单选题
1．答案：A
解析：句意：——多么酷炫的车！它们是无人驾驶的。——据报道它们有电脑在里面控制。考查动词的语态。根据“It’s reported that”可知从句讲述客观存在的现象，句子是一般现在时，表达“被控制”用被动结构“are controlled”。故选A。
2．答案：B
解析：句意：如果你提前告诉我这个消息，我会有足够的时间来准备。考查名词辨析。in silence沉默地；in advance提前；in danger处于危险中；in trouble处于困难中；根据“I will have enough time to prepare for it”可知，此处指提前告诉，故选B。
3．答案：C
解析：句意：——布鲁斯，你借了这么多书。 ——我的小儿子喜欢读书，所以这些书主要是给他的，只有两本是给我的。
考查副词。simply（强调简单）仅仅；hardly几乎不；mainly主要地；certainly当然。结合前后文“so many books”和“only two are for me”可知，借的这么多书里面，主要都是给小儿子借的，只有两本是给自己借的。故选C。
4．答案：B
解析：句意：——我能和杰克逊讲话吗？我之前打电话。——对不起，他还在开会。考查副词辨析及其比较级。late晚；earlier更早；earliest最早；later后来。根据“Sorry, he is still in his meeting.”可知仍然在开会，应是早些时候打过电话，比说话时早，用比较级earlier。故选B。
5．答案：C
解析：句意：当你遇到老师和同学时，向他们打招呼是有礼貌的。考查it固定句型。本句是固定句型“It’s +形容词+ of/for sb. +动词不定式+其他”结构，it是形式主语，后面的不定式是真正主语；of 用于指某人的性格、属性、特征等，介词for表示对象，意为“对……来说”。本句“polite”用于描述“you”的性格特点，介词需用of，故选C。
