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 specifically fbr the deaf and hard of hearing.nReally, 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. nI 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. nSoiTietimes people talk about you, maybe to a non-deaf friend standing beside me, as if I'm not there/ Davis said.叮hat'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.4. 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 fbr the deaf appeals to them.5. 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 donft challenge enough assumptions.6. What kind of person is Stephen Davis?A. Sensitive and talkative.B. Reasonable and reliable.C. Confident and intelligent.D. Outspoken and aggressive.7.

Embarrassment is one-sided.CThe exact location in France where Dutch master Vincent van Gogh painted his last work of art has been discovered.A Dutch researcher figured out that a scene described in the artisfs last work Tee Root, was visible on apostcard showing a man standing next to a bicycle on a back street of the village Auvers-sur-Oise. Van Gogh spent the last weeks of his life in the village. Helpfully, the card even included the name of the street.Researchers were given a unique glimpse （体验）into the famous painter9s final hours. He was at work right up to the end.Wouter van der Veen, scientific director of the Van Gogh Institute in France, made the discovery. While stuck at home, van de Veen used the extra time to organize the numerous files and documents on van Gogh, including images such as the old postcard from Auvers-sur-Oise. One day in late April, he saw the card on his computer screen and it suddenly struck him that he was looking at the location of Tree Roots. Next to the man and his bicycle, roots and trees are clearly visible. He took a virtual trip down the site using Google9s Street View."Villagers know the spot and the main tree root well, even giving it the name "the elephant, because of its shapes,“ van der Veen said. “It was really hiding in overt sight.”The discovery provides tourists with an extra reason to visit Auvers-sur-Oise. "They travel a lot just for one reason - to walk in the footsteps of Vincent van Gogh. Now they can stand at the very place where he painted his last painting,van der Veen said. "And that's a very moving thing for a lot of people. So I'm very happy to be able to share that with all those who love van Gogh.” 8. What is paragraph 2 mainly about?A. What the postcard revealed.B. How Tree Roots was discovered.9. Why Auvers-sur-Oise became known.D. Where van Gogh painted his works.9. How did van der Veen confirm his discovery?A. He studied a picture of Auvers-sur-Oise.B.

They want to experience the life there.DPlastics are amazing materials, which are widely used in our daily life. Besides, they're often cheap to make. About 8. 3 billion metric tons of plastic have been produced to date. That's about 1,400 times the weight of the Great Pyramid of Giza. Some of that plastic is still in use. But about 5. 8 billion metric tons have been thrown away.All that plastic waste is an environmental scourge （祸根）.Only about 9 percent of plastic waste has been recycled. Another 12 percent has been burned. The remaining 79 percent wound up in landfills or in nature. And that plastic, like a single Lego block, takes a long time to decompose （分解）.Plastic litters the world from the highest mountaintop to the deepest seafloor. Many animals mistake this rubbish fbr food. If they get full, these animals may forget to eat real food and suffer. Plastic rubbish in the oceans also leaves birds, turtles and other wildlife in a jam.Big pieces of plastic aren't the only problem. Abandoned plastic can break into tiny bits called microplastics. Winds blow these bits far and wide. Ocean currents can spread them throughout the sea. These pollutants build up inside animals. They also get into our food and drinking water. Each American is likely to consume more than 70, 000 microplastic pieces per year. Right now, no one knows what risk that might bring.Scientists have some ideas about how to clean up this mess. The Ocean Cleanup is developing cleanup systems to fish out plastic pieces from the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. Microbes or mealworms with an appetite fbr plastic might someday eat the garbage. And new nanotechnology （纳米技术）could help microplastics decompose in the environment. But many of these plans are still far from effective so far. The best way to help Earth right now is to stop buying so much plastic - and then throwing it out - in the first place.12. What does the Lego block show about plastic waste?A. It is hard to break down.B.Little of it has been burned.C. It is easy to pile up.D.Most of it ends up in landfills.13. How might the plastic rubbish influence animals?A. By starving them.B.By reducing their food.C. By piling up in their homes.D.By changing the environment.14. What is the author's attitude to the present methods of cleaning plastic waste?A. Opposed.B. Supportive.C. Indifferent.D. Doubtful.15. Why does the author write the text?A. To criticize plastic production.B. To suggest ways to handle plastic.C. To advocate environmental protection.D. To introduce the state of plastic pollution.第二节（共5小题；每题3分，总分值15分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最正确选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。The Human Library has been working to encourage a sense of shared humanity fbr almost two decades.
