五、阅读理解
During work hours, among the sounds of machines, the kitchen of Bach's Bakery is especially tidy and quiet, not because of any rules against talking during work hours, but because all of the workers have a hearing disability. They are hard-working and professional in their work, and use sign language to communicate with each other from time to time.
Bach's Bakery lies in Changsha City, Hunan Province. It is run by a German couple, Uwe Brutzer and his wife Dorothee Brutzer, who started it with the purpose of creating more jobs for those disabled in the neighbourhood. So far, Bach's Bakery has trained around 30 hearing-impaired people. While some skilled workers found jobs in other bakeries and hotels and have been able to live on their own, several of them have stayed to work at the bakery after they completed the training.
The Brutzers' work has won the support of many people in China. With the spread of news about the bakery, many internet users learned about Bach's Bakery and its inspiring story. As a result, many local people in Changsha as well as visitors from other parts of the country come to buy their products. Uwe said that public attention has encouraged them a lot and helped grow the bakery's business, resulting in workers getting higher pay. However, what he values more is that, through media reports, more people have come to understand that disabled people can work as well as other people when they are given chances.
Now, as they are preparing to return to Germany, they have found a German couple teaching in China as the new managers, and handed over the bakery to a public welfare(福利) organisation. Their wish is to continue providing free training for the hearing-impaired and that the bakery will never be changed into a shop with moneymaking as its main goal.

【解析】
1. 第1题：定位到第二段。原文提到“some skilled workers found jobs in other bakeries and hotels and have been able to live on their own”，对应选项B“帮助工人独立生活”。A选项：原文是“trained around 30 hearing-impaired people”，并非现在有超过30名工人，错误；C选项：原文未提及面包店雇佣湖南以外的人，错误；D选项：原文是部分工人培训后留下，并非要求工人不能离开，错误。故选B。
2. 第2题：定位到第三段最后一句。原文明确“what he values more is that, through media reports, more people have come to understand that disabled people can work as well as other people”，即公共关注最大的价值是让残疾人被更好理解，对应选项C。A、B、D都是公共关注带来的好处，但不是Uwe最看重的，错误。故选C。
3. 第3题：主旨大意题。全文围绕巴赫面包店展开，核心是该店的工人都是听障人士，面包店安静，是一家“安静的面包店”，对应选项A。B选项“特殊愿望”只是部分内容，C选项“残疾人的成功”偏离核心，D选项“面包店的规则”仅为开头细节，均不适合作为标题。故选A。

1. bakery
n. 面包房
2. hearing-impaired
adj.有听力障碍的
答案
1. n. 面包房 2. adj.有听力障碍的
解析
【分析】
要判断单词的词性和意思，可结合构词法知识分析：bakery是由动词bake加表场所的名词后缀-ery构成，对应场所类名词；hearing-impaired是复合形容词，由表“听力”的hearing和表“受损的”impaired组合，用于修饰人，据此推导词性和词义。
【解析】
1. bakery：后缀-ery常用于构成表示场所的名词，故词性为名词（n.），中文意思是面包房；
2. hearing-impaired：由名词hearing和形容词impaired组合成复合形容词，用于描述人的听力状况，故词性为形容词（adj.），中文意思是有听力障碍的。
