For many years, no one could communicate with people who had been born without hearing. These deaf people were not able to use a spoken language. But, beginning in the 1700s, the deaf were taught a special language. Using this language, they could share thoughts and ideas with others. The language they used was a language without sound. It was a sign language. How did this sign language work? The deaf were taught to make certain movements using their hands, faces, and bodies. These movements stood for things and ideas. People might move their forefingers across their lips. This
meant, “You are not telling the truth.” They might tap their chins with three fingers. This meant “my uncle.” The deaf were also taught to use a finger alphabet. They used their fingers to make the letters of the alphabet. In this way, they spelled out words. Some deaf people could spell out words at a speed of 130 words per minute. Sign language and finger spelling are not used as much as they once were. Today, the deaf are taught to understand others by watching their lips. They are also taught how to speak.

49. Why are sign language and fingerspelling not used as much as they used to?

A. Because there are other ways to help the deaf communicate.

50. What is the main idea of the passage you’ve read?

A. How the deaf people communicate.

Explanation:

46. In the 1700s, the deaf learned sign language. We can see this when the text says, "The language they used was a language without sound. It was a sign language."

47. A tap on the chin with three fingers means my uncle. It was after the explanation of how body language works. After that, there are two examples: the first one describes the sign that meant you are not telling the truth, and the second example describes the sign for my uncle. The text says, -They might tap their chins with three fingers. This meant “my uncle”-

48. Sign language helped the deaf to communicate with other people. As it says at the beginning of the text, before the 1700s, deaf people could not communicate because they could not use spoken language. Then, with sign language, they could express themselves and interact with others.

49. Sign language and fingerspelling are not used as much as they used to because there are other ways for deaf people to communicate. These ways are: understand others by watching their lips and teach deaf people how to speak. The text says, "Sign language and fingerspelling are not used as much as they once were. Today, the deaf are taught to understand others by watching their lips. They are also taught how to speak."

50. The main idea of the text is how deaf people communicate. The text describes: how deaf learned sign language to express themselves, the use of fingerspelling, and the most common ways that deaf people use today to understand and to interact with others, which are watching the speaker's lips and learning how to speak. In conclusion, they are all ways that deaf people use to communicate.

Montresor and Fortunato are wearing costumes because it is carnival time.

One reason Montresor is wearing a costume is to be sure no one recognizes him when he is walking back to his house with Fortunato.

Fortunato was a competitive person because he got jealous when he thought Luchesi was going to taste the Amontillado.

Montresor leads Fortunato down into the catacombs where many people were buried.

Montresor and Fortunato were down in the catacombs until midnight.

Montresor was upset because Fortunato had seriously offended him and wanted revenge.

No one ever found Fortunato, who Montresor buried alive down in the catacombs.

Montresor kept giving Fortunato wine because he knew he could not resist it and wanted Fortunato to keep following him.

1. Read the passage and answer the questions that follow.
The Black Beauty
The first place that I can well remember was a large pleasant
meadow with a pond of clear water in it. Some shady trees
leaned over it, and rushes and water-lilies grew at the deep
end. Over the hedge on one side, we looked into a ploughed
field, and on the other, we looked over a gate at our master's
house, which stood by the roadside. At the top of the meadow
was a plantation of fir trees, and at the bottom a running brook
overhung by a steep bank. Whilst I was young, I lived upon my
mother's milk, as I could not eat grass. In the day time, I ran
by her side, and at night I lay down close by her. When it was
hot, we used to stand by the pond in the shade of the trees, and
when it was cold, we had a nice warm shed near the plantation
As soon as I was old enough to eat grass, my mother started
to go out to work in the day time, and come back in the
evening. There were six young colts in the meadow beside me,
all older than I was; some were nearly as large as grown-up
horses. I used to run with them and had great fun; we used
to gallop together round and round the field, as fast as we
could. Sometimes we had a rather rough play, for they would
frequently bite and kick as well as gallop.
I wish you to pay attention to what I am going to say to
you. The colts who live here are very good colts; but they are cart-horse colts, and of course they have not learned manners
You have been well bred and are well born; your father has a
great name in these parts, and your grandfather won the cup
two years at the Newmarket races; your grandmother had the
sweetest temper of any horse I ever knew, and I think you have
never seen me kick or bite. I hope you will grow up gentle and
good, and never learn bad ways do your work with a good
will lift your feet up well when you trot, and never bite or kick
even in play
Thave never forgotten my mother's advice, I knew she was a
wise old horse, and our master thought a great deal of her. Her
name was Duchess, but he often called her Pet. Our master
was a good kind man. He gave us good food, good lodging
and kind words; he spoke as kindly to us as he did to his little
children: we all were fond of him, and my mother loved him
