When he tells people that he is deaf, Oliver Stabbe is called a liar. "The idea that deaf people cannot speak is a very offensive assumption," the sophomore(大二学生) said.

Stabbe's experience speaks of many of the misunderstandings about deaf people and the struggles they face---things commonly found right in Rochester. This city is home to 90, 000 deaf people, a significant slice of the more than 1.1 million national

population. The percentage of deaf people here is higher than the national average, due in part to RITs National Technical Institute for the Deaf, the first technological college in the world created specifcally for the deaf and hard of hearing.

" Really, there seems to be an embarrassment in communicating with deaf people," said sophomore Stephen Davis,another deaf student. This awkwardness might arise because non-deaf people just don't know how to do so without possibly offending someone. "I guess they think saying ‘ deaf’is offensive, but it really isn't and deaf people don't get upset about it," Davis said. He noted that the biggest issue he's had when communicating with other students is their anxiety about communicating.

Deaf or hard-of-hearing students also face frustrations( 令人心烦的事) on their end when interacting with others." Sometimes people talk about you, maybe to a non-deaf friend standing beside me, as if I'm not there," Davis said. " That's depressing.”As Davis put it,”We don't see ourselves as the disabled, so the awkwardness is only one -sided.”

Stabbe advised that those communicating should not make assumptions about others' preferences or ability. If you have a question, ask. A moment of awkwardness is absolutely worth it if you are being educated about an important topic.

24. Why are there more deaf people in Rochester?

A. Deaf people have some privileges here.

B. Deaf people may get better job opportunities here.

C. Deaf people meet fewer struggles here.

D. A professional school for the deaf appeals to them.

25. What may embarrass people when communicating with the deaf according to Davis?

A. They are afraid of upsetting the deaf.

B. They are unwilling to communicate.

C. They don't know any simple gestures.

D. They don't challenge enough assumptions.

26. What kind of person is Stephen Davis?

A. Sensitive and talkative.

B. Reasonable and reliable.

C. Outspoken and aggressive.

D. Confident and intelligent.

27. What can be the best tile of the text?

A. We can hear your heart

B. "Deaf" is not a bad word

C. Deaf people are not liars

D. Embarrassment is one-sided

C

For many of us, summer time means road trips to the beach or mountains, or at the very least some additional dust on the outside of our vehicle. The extra dirt leads us to do one of two things: wash our car in the driveway or head to the car wash. But which choice is better for the environment?

The main concerns with either choice are the amount of fresh water used and the types of chemicals used to get rid of the dirt. Both of these concerns can be closely monitored when washing the car at home, says Katy Gresh, spokeswoman for the Southwest Region of the PennsyIvania Department of Environmental Protection. She

advises car owners to keep a set amount of water in a container for the entire wash.”You don't want to leave the water running or use more than you need for the job," she says. But even following this piece of advice comes with an environmental risk: Washing your car in the driveway gets the dirty water into drains(下水道).

”Drains are not made for treating waste," says John Schombert, executive director of 3 Rivers Wet Weather. Even when car owners use natural soaps to wash their car, Schombert says they are probably ineffective in breaking down prase (油脂) anyway.

The commercial car wash knows full well the rules regarding wastewater in drains. According to the International Carwash Association( ICA)，professional car washes must use special water treatment systems. These proceses not only keep the dirty water out of drains and regular water treatment systems, but also work to reduce water usage at commerial facilities.

As experts point out, cleaning our car at home can use 100 gallons of water. Compare that to self-service car washes,which allow you to use only about 17 or 18 gallons of water. And most full-service car washes average about 30 to 45 gallons of water per vehicle.

28. What does Katy suggest people do about washing cars?

A. Use soft toothbrushes.

B. Save treated water.

C. Put aside some water.

D. Avoid using chemicals.

29. What is Schombert's atitude to washing cars at home?

A. Disapproving.

B. Favorable.

C. Suspicious.

D. Objective.

30. What is the fourth paragraph mainly about?

A. Rules of handling wastewater.

B. Advantages of professional car washes.

C. Processes of getting rid of dirty water.

D. Drawbacks of water treatment systems.

31. Which method of car washing consumes the least water?

A. The full-service car washes.

B. Car washing in the driveway.

C. The self-service car washes.

D. Car washing using natural soaps.

In a world where nearly 6 million fingerprint records of government employees are stolen in one computer hack(非法人侵)，and here millions of people are victims of identity theft every year, the next step in cybersecurity may well be mapping your brain.

Researchers at Binghamton University,State University of New York are working on a biometric(生物特征识别的)system that records how your brain reacts to certain images. With a little more polishing, the scientists' brainchild could become the way you get into a safe deposit box, your office or past scanners at the airport. It could replace the password for your online banking, your email or your social media accounts.

They started their project by measuring the brain waves of 30 subjeets.The subjects were fitted with a cap that had 30 electrodes( 电极) attached to it, and then shown various images and symbols--celebrity faces, words, pictures of food -on a

computer screen in 20- millisecond bursts. The brain's reaction was recorded.

The idea is that every time a person needs to use a”password"，he or she goes through the sane procedure，and the results are matched with their first time reaction. If the " braiprint" is compromised 一like what happened with the fingerprint records 一then the system is merely reset by running another set of images and collecting a different set of brain waves. "Even if that was stolen, you could just cancel it and record one to something else"，says professr Laszlo.

Laszlo and her team have shown that their system can be 100 percent accurate. So one of the more difficult parts of making the system practical already has been overcome. Now they’re spending much time recording accurate brainprints with as few as three electrodes,which could make recording in the future as easy as wearing a pair of special glasses.They’re also working with cheaper material and methods to see if they can bring the cost down.

32. What does the underlined word "brainchild" in paragraph 2 refer to?

A. The brain function.

B. The fingerprint record.

C. The biometric system.

D. The online password.

33. Why were the images and symbols shown to the subjets?

A. To create their brainprints,

B. To check the brain's reaction.

C. To match brainprints with pictures.

D. To connect brain waves to electrodes.

34. What will happen when a brainprint fails?

A. A spare one will be ready beforehand.

B.A new one will be set again.

C. The users' security will be leaked:

D. The fingerprint record will replace it.

35. What are the researchers doing with the program now?

A. Making it user-friendly.

B. Improving its accurancy.

C. Recording more brainprints.

D. Increasing the number of electrodes.

Dear Jim,

I'm delighted to know you'll take part in the " Classical Chinese Poetry Recitation Contest" to be organizing in your school. Now I'd like to recommend your favourite poem. It is Quiet Night Thoughts witten by Li Bai, which was a famous poet in the Tang Dynasty. On quiet night, the poet catches sight of the moonlight in front of his bed. He wondered about if there was frost on the ground. Raise his head and looking at the bright moon, he suddenly thought of his hometown. The poem is written in so simple language that it trips off the tongue, which makes it easily to read for beginners. If you need any other help, just let me know! Wish you successful!
