Ⅱ　阅读理解

After I made it to the city centre, I started to feel it might be easy for a foreigner to deal with the great size of Beijing. With growing confidence, I decided to take the subway to the hotel, not realising that the network didn't go that far. Impressed with the cleanliness of the station, I bought a ticket and boarded the first train that came along.
After a few minutes I asked in English of course a young man seated next to me where I should get off closest to the Friendship Hotel. Wearing a smart business suit and tie, he would surely speak English, wouldn't he? Unfortunately, he couldn't understand me but seemed very friendly. I showed him the room card with all the information of the Friendship Hotel in Chinese characters (汉字). He looked at it, and then his eyes moved quickly to the carriage (车厢) subway map. Next, he raised three fingers of his right hand.
In Australia, raising fingers at someone is not usually nice, but this man wasn't smiling. At the next station he showed me two fingers. Now in Australia, that's really rude, but I got the message. When we stopped at the third station, he didn't just point to the door, but got up, took me out of the carriage, and led me to the top of the stairs, and out onto the street. Then he stopped a taxi and told the driver where to take me.
All this came from a man who couldn't speak my language, and I couldn't speak his. I was now speechless, especially when he refused my offer of money. I felt a little embarrassed having even thought he would accept a tip.
This experience made it clear that I had to learn some Chinese quickly or my adventures (冒险) might start turning into bad luck.

篇章导读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了一个感人的故事：为了让一位聋哑儿童更好地融入班集体，全班同学使用手语进行交流，以便他能够和同学交流日常的家庭作业和游戏。

2．when　考查定语从句的引导词。分析句子结构可知，先行词指时间，该空引导定语从句并在从句中作时间状语，故用when引导。

4．disability　考查词性转换。分析句子结构并结合空前的a可知，此处应用名词形式作宾语，故填disability。
5．but　考查连词。前面说老师Lily几乎立刻就同意了，后面提到老师注意到一个问题，此处表示转折，故用but。
6．sitting　考查非谓语动词。notice sb. doing sth. “注意到某人在做某事”。此处表示老师注意到James总是一个人坐在那儿，故用sitting。
7．determined　考查词性转换。be determined to do sth. “决意做某事”，是固定用法。此处是形容词短语作状语，故用determined。
8．with　考查介词。come up with是固定短语，意为“想出(主意等)”。
9．happily　考查词性转换。修饰动词用副词，故填happily。
