16.How to Communicate With a Deaf Person
Communicating with a deaf person doesn't have to be as difficult as it might seem.The trick is to be patient,straightforward,and to remember that deaf people communicate visually.
Method 1:Starting Your Conversation
(36)AYou can do this by moving into the person's field of vision and waving from a polite distance,or by tapping the person gently on the shoulder.
Position yourself carefully.Make sure that the light in the room is shining directly onto your face,and that you're not standing with your back to a light. (37)E
Find out how the person prefers to communicate.Some deaf people are better lip-readers than others.Some deaf people may prefer to write back and forth or to use an interpreter.Man interactions between the deaf and the hearing require a combination of these methods.(38)F
Method 2:Communicating through Lip-reading.
Keep your sentences simple and use plain language. (39)GThe more complex your phrasing and vocabulary,the more likely your deaf companion is to miss something.
When someone else is speaking,don't turn away from the deaf person in your group.(40)D
You don't have to look at the deaf person while someone else is talking,but try to make sure your face is visible.

A.Get the person's attention.
B.It's important not talk too quickly.
C.Or,they'll miss parts of the conversation.
D.If so,it'll make them feel left out of the conversation.
E.Stand directly in front of the person,at a normal distance.
F.The best way to know which methods are most effective is to ask.
G.Try not to be too difficult when using your words in the beginning.

分析 本文属于说明文阅读,作者通过这篇文章主要向我们描述了与 失聪者交流,关键是让他们明白,能够听清,你需要注意以下几点.

解答 36.A.推理判断题.根据后文语境You can do this by moving into the person's field of vision and waving from a polite distance可知,要引起那个人的注意,故选A.
37.E.推理判断题.根据本段主题句Position yourself carefully与该空前的句子the light in the room is shining directly onto your face可知,此处是保持一定距离,直接站在那个人的前面,故选E.
38.F.推理判断题.前面提到,有些失聪者擅长读唇语,有些喜欢来回写,有些喜欢用翻译,所以最好的方法是知道那种方法是最有效的,故选F.
39.G.推理判断题.根据空前的语境Keep your sentences simple and use plain language.可知,此处是开始说话时,用的词尽量不 要太难,故选G.
40.D.推理判断题.根据空前的句子don't turn away from the deaf person in your group可知,如果这样做,会让他们感受到冷落,故选D.

点评 七选五阅读是完成性阅读,和完形填空很类似,不同的是一个选词,一个选句子.解题时,要注意上下文语境,充分考虑信息词(选项中和空格前后句子中相同或相近的词),选出最符合语境的句子.

11.Something's happening at the lowest point on our planet,some 1,388 feet below sea level.
The Dead Sea,a salt lake close to Israel,Jordan and the West Bank,is shrinking at an alarming rate-about 3.3 feet per year,according to the environmentalist group EcoPeace Middle East.And human actions are largely to blame.
"It's not just like one country is punishing the Dead Sea;it's more like the whole region,"said photographer Moritz Küstner,who visited the area in February to work on his series"The Dying Dead".
The Dead Sea needs water from the other natural sources surrounding it,such as the Jordan River basin.But around the 1960s,some of the water sources it relied upon were diverted.
Mineral extraction industries are another main reason why the water levels are declining,experts say.The Dead Sea's minerals have been popular for their medical power and can often be found in cosmetics(化妆品)and other consumer products.
And then,of course,there's the Middle East's hot,dry climate,which makes it difficult for the lake to refill itself.
Last year,Israel and Jordan signed a $900 million deal in an effort to stabilize the Dead Sea's water levels.
It involves building a canal from the Red Sea to the Dead Sea so that both countries would be able to not only supply water to Israel and Jordan but also to pump much needed water-some 300 million cubic meters annually-into the Dead Sea.
"This is the most important and significant agreement since the peace treaty with Jordan (in 1994),"said Silvan Shalom,Israel's energy and water resources minister at the time.
Whether the canal-estimated to take three years to complete-will work out positively and as planned remains to be seen.

32.Moritz Küstner visited the Dead Sea toC.
A.shoot TV series about people's action there              
B.make a survey about the sea level
C.do his photographic series work                     
D.research into environmental problems
33.Which of the following statements is NOT the reason for the water levels'declining?D
A.The other natural sources the Dead Sea relied on were switched.
B.The Dead Sea's minerals have been dug and used in some products.
C.The Middle East's climate makes the lake itself difficult to store water.
D.Israel and Jordan are the two countries to destroy the Dead Sea.
34.What measure has been taken to save the Dead Sea?A
A.Bringing in water from the Red Sea.
B.Introducing water from Israel and Jordan.
C.Taking Israel's energy and water resources.
D.Struggling for international support.
35.What does the passage mainly tells us?A
A.Why the Dead Sea is dying and the measure taken to save it.
B.How important the Dead Sea is in Israel,Jordan and the West Bank.
C.How to solve the problem that the Dead Sea is being destroyed.
D.Protecting the environment is in no hurry all over the world.

8.The second Monday in October in the United States is Columbus Day.It is a federal holiday.The holiday honors the first visit to America by the Italian explorer Christopher Columbus.Columbus thought he could reach the Far East by sailing west across the Atlantic Ocean from Europe.
He was right.But he was also wrong.He thought the world was much smaller than it is.He did not imagine that another continent and another huge ocean lay between Europe and East Asia.
Columbus and his crew arrived in October 1492 on an island they called San Salvador,in today's Bahamas.Columbus believed these were the coastal islands of East Asia,and then called the Indies.That is why he called the people who lived on the islands"Indians."He refused to accept he was wrong about the geography,even though local plants where he explored were unknown in Europe or Asia,and native people did not understand any languages spoken in the East.
Many people have pointed out that Christopher Columbus never recognized where he really landed.Other European explorer.s did land in what is now the United States.But not Columbus.More importantly,some say,Columbus did not"discover"a new world:many native people already lived here.
Critics of Columbus Day also strongly object to the holiday because Columbus treated native people cruelly.He imprisoned some of the West Indians,forcing them to serve the Europeans or search for gold.He controlled parts of the population with violence and oppression.In addition,Columbus and his fellow European voyagers forced native people to accept Christianity.And,they brought new diseases that sickened and killed many of the native people.Columbus'arrival in the Caribbean was destructive to the people there.
Even though Columbus Day is one of the most doubtful holidays in the U.S.calendar,scholars say the origins of Columbus Day aimed to bring Americans together.In 1892,President Benjamin Harrison called on the country to observe Columbus Day,and to reflect on their achievements in the 400 years since Columbus landed in San Salvador.

32.Why did Columbus fail to reach the Far East?B
A.He went in the wrong direction of his voyage.
B.He lacked enough geographic knowledge.
C.Hrs theory proved to be wrong in practice.
D.He didn't have good enough imagination.
33.Which of the following best describes Columbus?C
A.Cautious.
B.Honest.
C.Stubborn.
D.Modest.
34.What does Paragraph 5 mainly talk about?A
A.Great harm Columbus brought to the native people.
B.Various Changes since Columbus landed there.
C.The way how Columbus controlled the native people.
D.Conflicts occurring between Columbus and the natives.
35.What was the original purpose of creating Columbus Day?C
A.To honour the United States.
B.To get relaxed from work.
C.To unite American people.
D.To show progress of America.

2.Five Steps to Better Handwriting
Some kids love handwriting,but others hate when it's time to put their pen to paper.Maybe they are worried about their handwriting.Are you one of them?(36)F Here are five steps that really work!
Get a great grasp
Try this-hold your pencil at the top and try to write your name.Pretty hard?But when you hold your pencil the correct way,writing is much easier.(37)G Hold it in place with your thumb(大拇指),and your index(食指) and middle fingers.
Let the lines be your guide
Lined paper is your friend!Those lines can help you create letters that are the right size and proportion(均衡).(38)CAlso be sure to fill up the lined space completely.Those capital letters should be from the bottom line to the top one.
Slow down
If your writing is hard to read,try slowing down a little.If you rush,it's hard to control where you stop and start your letters.
Lower the pressure
(39)EThat makes it harder to make the smooth lines.Try easing up and don't hold the pencil too tightly.
(40)A
Lots of games require you to write or draw pictures.So even though it's not schoolwork,you're still using the skills you need to control your pen better.

A.Play games.
B.Ask for more advice.
C.So"a"should be half the height of a capital"A".
D.You've been writing since you were a little kid.
E.Some kids press down really hard when they write.
F.The good news is that just about everyone can improve their handwriting.
G.The best way to hold a pen or pencil is to let it rest next to the base of your thumb.
