20.(36)D
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.After you know it,you'll forget you were ever worried!
Method 1:Staring Your Conversation
(37)A.You 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.If it's a real emergency,you can also turn the lights off and on quickly.
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.Stand directly in front of the person,at a normal distance.
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)G.The more complex your phrasing and vocabulary,the more likely your deaf companion is to miss something.Try to avoid using slang or expressions that aren't widely known.
When someone else is speaking,don't turn away from the deaf person in your group.(40)C.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.Ways of Communicating.
C.If so,it'll make them feel left out of the conversation.
D.How to Communicate With a Deaf Person.
E.It's important not talk too quickly.
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.

19.The trouble of having to charge(充电)your smartphone for hours a day could become a thing of the past.
British scientists have created a material that replaces the screen glass for phones,i-pad and smartwatches,but uses no power----meaning they could be charged weekly.The discovery is important because more than 90percent of a device's battery power illuminates(照明)the screen.
Technology firms have focused on improving battery life.But the British experts say dealing with the main power-using may give better results.Oxford University engineer Dr Peiman Hosseini,who invented the material,told the Sunday Telegraph:"You have to charge smartwatches every night.But if you had smart glass,you could recharge it just once a week."
The invention uses electrical pulses to create displays that require no power and can be viewed even in direct sunlight.Dr Hosseini's company,Bodle Technologies,hopes to have a prototype(样机)in a year.
Battery life is seen as a major obstruction for modern computing and technology.While the power of technology and lifestyle gadgets(小器件)has improved rapidly in recent years,batteries have not kept pace.The success of smart watches,including Apple's version,is thought to depend on solving this problem because few users are willing to charge a watch every day.
Gadget firms are also desperate to solve the problem.
Apple,for example,is investigating using fuel cells to power its phones and laptops,and this year had gained a patent for a system that it claimed could power its gadget for weeks.
In 2012US energy secretary Steven Chu called for a big push to improve batteries,challenging scientists to produce a battery with five times the capacity within five years.
Aside from mobile gadgets,improving battery technology is seen as being key to the success of electric cars,which currently have a limited journey before they must stop to be recharged.

32.Who invented the new material?B
A.Energy secretary.
B.Oxford University engineer.
C.Technology firms.
D.Apple Corps.
33.What can we know about the invention?C
A.It has gained a patent.
B.It is popular with customers.
C.It is a kind of glass.
D.It uses power to charge the phones.
34.The author uses the example of Apple in para7 to showD.
A.what the key to success is
B.why Apple products are popular
C.how often batteries must be recharged
D.how gadget firms are making efforts to improve batteries
35.What can be inferred from the passage?B
A.90% of batteries will be replaced with smart glass.
B.It is likely that mobile phones will be recharged once a week.
C.Scientists are focusing on increasing the number of batteries.
D.Many users are willing to pay more for watches of Apple version.

18.Imagine you've finally landed a job of your dreams in another city.It's everything you'd hoped for,but there's only one problem-housing costs in the area are so high that you're forced to live in a parking lot.
While this sounds like an impossible situation,this predicament is a reality for one man.Brandon,25,is a software engineer for Google at its San Francisco,California campus.
"I realized I was paying too large an amount of money for the apartment I was staying in,and I was almost never home."He told Business Insider,"It's really hard to justify throwing that money away.You're not putting money into anything and you are not building it up for a future."
Since scoring his job in May 2015 following a successful internship,he's been living in a truck on a parking lot a short distance from his workplace.
The tech worker makes up for the lack of facilities by eating,using the bathroom and showering at work,also charging his phone and computer there.
San Francisco is home to the most expensive rental market in the US,with the aver age rental for a one-bedroom apartment coming to $3,590(24,900 yuan)a month,according to property site Zumper.
And while some may not be able to handle giving up life's luxuries just to put aside some cash,Brandon estimates that he's saved almost $28,000 since he moved in just over 18 months ago.
"Not only do I get to invest all of that redirected rent money,but I get to invest all the money I'm not spending on furniture,facilities and buying food."Brandon wrote on his blog.

29.Which of the following can replace the underlined word"predicament"in paragraph 2?C
A.possibility       
B.disappointment        
C.dilemma       
D.mess 
30.Why does Brandon prefer to live in a truck on a parking lot?B
A.Because he has no time to go back to an apartment.
B.Because the rent is too high and he thinks it isn't worthwhile.
C.Because his workplace provides him with what he needs   
D.Because he wants to save money for an apartment of his own.
31.What does Brandon think of his choice?D
A.Difficult        
B.Embarrassing            
C.Painful         
D.Wise.

17.When I first started university,I remembered hearing about bone marrow(骨髓)donation during Freshman's Week.Some students volunteers from a group called Marrow tried to convince me to attend an event so I could learn more about it.The word"bone"immediately made me think that donating would be a painful procedure,so I refused. Back then,there was no way I could have known three years later,I would be one of the many people that desperately needs a bone marrow donor to save their lives.
I am currently waiting to be matched with a donor and if I am lucky enough to find a good match,it will be this lovely stranger that saves my life.I received my cancer diagnosis in June.It is only at that time that I realized how ignorant I had been about the bone marrow donation process.
The process of donating stem cells is actually very simple.In 90% of cases,donors are asked to donate their blood stem cells,the other 10% will give their bone marrow.Lots of donors say that both these things are virtually pain free,and nothing to be scared about.Being a bone marrow donor should be something to be proud of,as every donor has an opportunity to save someone's life!
At the moment I know that the doctors are busy searching for a match,I simply live every day in the hope that there will be a donor right for me.If I have an opportunity for life,I won't waste it.
When I was a first year at university,I made the mistake of walking away from becoming a stem cell donor.Please don't make the same mistake that I did.There are so many people out there,including myself,that need your help; and by undergoing a simple,pain-free procedure,you could have the chance to proudly say that you saved someone's life.

25.Why did the author refuse to learn more about bone marrow donation before?B
A.Because she could get nothing from it.
B.Because she thought that donating would be painful.
C.Because she had known nothing about it.
D.Because she was in poor health.
26.What can we learn from the underlined sentence in paragraph1?C
A.The author was concerned about others.
B.The author was confident about the bone marrow donation.
C.The author needs the bone marrow donation now.
D.The author donates her bone marrow to save others.
27.The author needs the bone marrow because she gotA
A.cancer        
B.headache     
C.flu     
D.high blood pressure
28.The author told us her story toD
A.show us the experience of her college life.
B.explain the cause of her cancer.
C.recall her painful past.

16.My mother sat in silence,shocked by my guided tour of websites of adventurous families,who bike around the world for charity,sail the globe in search of their roots or see the world through children's eyes.We found many people on boats,bikes and foot,showing that adventure doesn't have to die when a new life is created.As one of my friends says,‘This is your one and only chance to explore the world with your children as they are now.
‘Mum,'I began awkwardly.‘We're going to travel across New Zealand.Two bikes,two trailers(拖车),two toddlers(学步的孩子)and 2,000miles.'
‘Two thousand nappies(纸尿裤)more like.'
My mother wasn't the only one to raise objections.While friends and family were impressed by our bravery,they were horrified at what it would involve.‘No nursery,no babysitters,no bath time,no peace,no escape…'And that was before we mentioned the real difficulty:pulling 50kg of trailer,toddler and baggage.And of course the nappies.
‘Is there anything I can say to put you off?'my mother asked.
‘No,Mum,'I replied firmly.
‘Well,we'll see about that.'
The challenge of dealing with my mother's phone call about potential disasters is as great as anything we may have to face on the road.Meanwhile,we rush to toilet-train both children to avoid the nappy carrying.Among the voices of doubt and disapproval,I still sometimes wonder if we are mad,but know we aren't mad alone.We have now been in communication with many of the families I showed my mother on the web.And we can feel our own voice getting stronger  and more confident with their encouragement,advice and support.
Now we know there are so many families out there adventuring,we're already developing ideas for a world tour to meet some of these families and talk with them about their experiences and spread the word about the possibilities for independent family adventure.As a friend of ours said,‘The only limit is the parents'imagination.'We intend to let ours run wild.

24.What made the author's mother surprised?B
A.That there're so many things to view on the Internet.
B.That so many parents travel with their small children.

15.Many Chinese students have studied English for approximately ten years,but most of them cannot even speak English correctly or fluently.In my opinion,there are several obstacles that have caused this to happen.The main obstacle is fear!Another is the habit of mentally translating from Chinese to English and then to change these thoughts into spoken words and sentences.Many of these difficulties are caused by the way Chinese people study and learn the language.
We must learn to speak as a child does.When we are learning a second language we need to remember how we learned our native language.Learning to understand and speak a language is one of the first skills a child develops.How does a child learn the language?He listens for a time and then he tries to repeat the words.Parents give great praise for the smallest effort and slightest improvement.Therefore,the child develops courage and is excited about learning.It takes a long time before he knows anything about grammar,spelling or formal sentence structures.
As for language teachers,they should avoid criticism and be very encouraging and generous with praise.Criticism or pointing out faults too often causes students to lose self-confidence and develop a fear of speaking.The best way to motivate a student is using praise.
The most important aspect of speaking is having good self-esteem.Self-esteem is how you feel about yourself.When most Chinese people are asked how their English is,or they are told their English is very good,they immediately respond by saying,"Oh my English is very poor."If you say this to yourself often enough,you will believe it.When someone compliments(称赞)you,just say"thank you".
Caused by their fear and way of learning,many Chinese students cannot speak English fluently even after ten-years'learning.(要点1)Actually we should learn to speak English as a child learns his native language by listening and repeating a lot.(要点2)And teachers should praise and encourage rather than criticize students,just as parents do.(要点3)Finally,having good self-esteem is of vital importance in speaking English..(要点4).

14.Four Essential Tips For You To Ease Homesickness
When home is far away,the sense of ease and belonging that so many people feel can transform into painful feelings of longing,commonly known as homesickness.Along with feelings of insecurity,loss of control and nervousness,physical effects,including sleep issues,tiredness and loss of appetite,are also caused by homesickness.(31)ECheck them out below:
●Realize that feeling homesick is 100 percent normal.
Almost everyone experiences homesickness when moving to a new place-some people might just be better at hiding it. (32)DHomesickness is a normal and evolutionarily healthy reaction.
●Make connections with new people in comfortable settings.
Feeling homesick when separated from loved ones motivates people to want to be with those supportive people.(33)GWhen making new connections,it's best to stick to the style that works for you in order to ease homesickness.
●(34)B
This point is vital and also one of the hardest to accomplish.Self-compassion is loving yourself just as you love the ones you care about.The most important step in practicing self-compassion is substituting negative,critical and,sometimes,automatic thoughts about yourself with thoughts that are more supportive and kind.
●Keep tabs on your negativity.
It's also useful to ask yourself how much of your homesickness is due to an event,such as being separated from loved ones,and how much is from how you're understanding a situation. (35)F A positive outlook on a situation can do wonders for your mood,but it often can be hard to practice.You can silence negative thoughts in many ways,including reciting positive mantras(祷文),keeping a journal or even taking a walk in a park.
If you're dealing with feelings of homesickness,remember you're not alone.Even though there's no place like home,give yourself some time and care,you might find yourself falling in love with a new place.

A.Learn to help others.
B.Practice self-compassion.
C.Being homesick is unnormal.
D.Being homesick is not a sign of personal shortcoming.
E.We gathered a few psychologist-backed tips to help ease homesickness.
F.Taking a step back is recommended,instead of falling into the trap of a negative outlook.
G.But keep in mind that everyone is different when it comes to forming those new relationships.

13.Cigarette ends are everywhere-littering our streets and beaches-and for decades they've been thought of as"unrecyclable".But a New Jersey based company,called TerraCycle,has taken on the challenge,and has come up with a way to recycle millions of cigarette ends and turn them into industrial plastic products.Its aim is to recycle things that people normally consider impossible to reuse.
Obviously it would be even better for the environment if everyone just stopped smoking,but the statistics show that although there has been an increase in anti-smoking ads and messaging,between 2000 and 2014,global sales of cigarettes increased by 8 percent,and a whole lot of those cigarette ends are ending up as trash.Since most of our litter eventually ends up in waterways,cigarette ends can surely pollute the surrounding environment."It only takes a single cigarette end to pollute a liter of water,"TerraCycle founder,Tom Szaky,said."Animals can also mistake littered cigarette ends for food."
So how do you go about turning all those poisonous ends into something useful?TerraCycle does this by first breaking them down into separate parts.They mix the remaining materials,such as the tobacco and the paper,with other kinds of rubbish,and use it on non-agricultural land,such as golf courses.The filters (过滤嘴) are a little harder.To recycle these,TerraCycle first makes them clean and cuts them into small pieces,and then combines them with other recycled materials,making them into liquid for industrial plastic products.
They're now also expanding their recycling offerings to the rest of the 80 percent of household waste that currently can't be recycled,such as chocolate packaging,pens,and mobile phones.The goal is to use the latest research to find a way to stop so much waste ending up in landfill (垃圾填埋),and then get companies to provide money for the process.And so far,it's working.

21.What does TerraCycle intend to do?D
A.Search for recyclable materials for use.
B.Deal with as many cigarette ends as possible.
C.Produce new kinds of industrial plastic products.
D.Recycle what used to be considered unrecyclable.
22.The underlined word"trash"in Paragraph 2 probably meansA.
A.rubbish
B.poison 
C.disaster  
D.ruin
23.What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about?B
A.The effective use of cigarette ends.
B.The process of recycling cigarette ends.
C.The difficulty in recycling cigarette ends.
D.The reason for breaking down cigarette ends.

12.If you take a look at the best-selling books in the UK these days,it is almost certain that there will be a lot of autobiographies (自传) in that list.Bill Clinton,Nelson Mandela and actor Michael J Fox have all written them.An autobiography is the story of a person?s life,written by that person.It is usually a very famous person who might tell us all about their childhood,how they became famous and any other interesting things that have happened in their lives.
Traditionally,someone would write an autobiography when they were older because they had had a long,successful life.However,these days there are many magazines with stories and photos of the stars which sell very well.Reality TV shows are extremely popular and lots of people become famous very easily just from being on the TV rather than being able to sing or act well.As a result,people become famous very quickly and as soon as they are famous,a lot of money can be made from writing an autobiography,even if they are very young.
So now you can find an autobiography from almost everyone who is in the public eye.Even though we can follow the lives of the stars very closely on TV or in magazines nowadays,we maybe don?t know how they live their lives from day to day.Autobiographies often give the information we never knew about the stars.The British public are very curious to find out more so they are very eager to read autobiographies.
Not every star wants to write though.Sometimes stars employ writers to write their life stories for them.The writer will interview the stars,listen to everything they want to say,record interviews and then write books based on their words.David Beckham did this with his book My Side.
Not everyone likes to read books regularly but they might like to read about the lives of stars.Autobiographies are helping to get more British people reading books.About 100million autobiographies are sold in Britain every year.More stars depend on them for extra income and as more of these books appear in the shops,more people are sure to keep buying them.

11.It's official.Denmark---as well as being the world's best country to live in for women with the second-happiest people and one of the best healthcare systems in Europe---has the most contented babies.Or,at least,the ones who cry the least.According to research published in the Journal of Pediatrics,Danish,German and Japanese babies cry the least,while British,Canadian and Italian babies cry the most.
"I'm not surprised,"Danish parenting expert and co-author of The Danish Way of Parenting Jessica Alexander tells me."The first year of a child's life is considered so important in Denmark.Danish parents are much less stressed because they get good maternity and paternity leave (孕产假).The atmosphere is much calmer and,if mothers are getting more time off,that goes hand in hand with less stress,more contact,more routines and less crying."She pauses before throwing in a final tip:"Oh,and Danish babies sleep outdoors a lot."
In Denmark,a woman is given four weeks pregnancy leave followed by 52weeks of paid leave that can be shared between parents.And Alexander thinks there is another important reason why Danish babies cry less:breastfeeding."It's just the done thing in Denmark,"she says of a country that has the world's highest breastfeeding rates."In other countries,there are continual discussions about whether you should or shouldn't breastfeed.In Denmark,breastfeeding has never gone out of style.And everyone does it for a year."
For Iben Sandahl,Alexander's co-author,it comes down to the Danish attitude to life in general."We are an honest and pure people,"she tells me."We are surrounded by social support and are less likely to become angry,sad or annoyed when our babies are crying.And we are good at embracing (拥抱) all kinds of feelings,so we aren't scared.Instead,we try to connect with the babies when they cry.It's how babies communicate and it's about trying to understand it."

28.Which of the following can make a baby cry less?B
A.An effective healthcare system.
B.More company from a parent.
C.An energetic busy mother.

A.something in the milk from breastfeeding can keep babies happy.

C.Danish parents'attitudes to a baby's first year vary considerably
D.breastfeeding is a common and accepted practice in Denmark
30.When babies cry,Danish parents will probablyA.
A.try to figure out what they want
B.put them outdoors for a good sleep
C.seek social support for guidance
D.wait a moment for them to calm down.
