Conley is a deaf man, and he reads lips to understand what people are saying to him. However, people have been wearing masks to help slow the spread of COVID-19, a new virus that spreads from person to person when infected people breathe out virus particles (颗粒). People who are deaf and hard of hearing communicate in many different ways. Some might learn to read lips. Many people also use American Sign Language (ASL). It is a way to communicate using gestures and signs for people who are deaf and hard of hearing.For both reading lips and ASL, being able to see someones face and facial expressions is critically important. Particularly for ASL, facial expressions play a role in grammar and wording.Helping Lip Readers See Mouths MoveConley told his co-worker, Chris LaZich, about his situation. LaZich asked her friend, Helton, for help. Ingrid Helton is a costume designer with the San Diego Opera. She makes masks with plastic windows for hearing people to wear, making it possible for lip readers to see mouths move.For a long time, lip readers have struggled to understand hospital workers who wear masks. The problem has only gotten worse during COVID-19. Many interpreters for the deaf have not been able to enter hospitals because they could catch the virus. More Challenges For Deaf PeopleNow, more people are wearing masks outside of hospitals, too. This creates even more challenges for deaf people. When people began wearing masks, Conley felt cut off from the world. Since he could not read lips, he did not know when people were speaking to him or what they were saying.Conley was nervous to go to the pharmacy or the grocery store. Once, he felt so nervous to enter his favorite restaurant that he waited outside for 45 minutes. He did not know what he would do if a masked worker asked him questions about his order. Luckily, the employee recognized him and pulled down her mask to talk to Conley. Conley was grateful for her action. Not everyone knows Conley, though, and would not know he is deaf. He carries pieces of paper with him so he can ask people to write what they are saying. This 北京市西城区 20202021 学年度第一学期期末试卷 高二英语 第 7 页（共 21 页）way, other people dont have to remove their mask. However, it also means touching the same paper. Touching common surfaces can spread germs. Spreading germs risks contracting COVID-19. Because of that, Conley was refused service many times.“It makes you lose your confidence,” said Conley, who has been deaf his entire life. However, Heltons windowed masks helped him get his independence back. Conley and his co-worker, Chris LaZich, tried out the masks and he had no trouble reading LaZichs lips. 34. Where can you probably read the passage?A. In a newspaper.B. In a diary.C. In a guidebook.D. In a medical report.35. How did Conley feel when people began to wear masks? A. He felt the situation couldnt be changed.B. He felt it difficult to recognize people.C. He felt cut off from the world.D. He felt lonely and angry.36. What is the special value of windowed masks for deaf people? A. To help them meet other deaf people.B. To keep them safe from COVID-19.C. To comfort them emotionally.D. To satisfy their social needs.37. Which of the following could be the best ending of the passage?A. Soon she started her company called Happy Laugh Masks.B. The windowed masks helped slow the spread of the virus.C. Through her masks window, LaZich smiled at him.D. Helton said store owners liked the masks as well. CGarbage cans are not magical openings. Garbage does not disappear when you throw it in a can. Yet, the average American throws away about 1,600 pounds of waste each year. If there are no magical garbage fairies, where does it all go? There are four methods of managing waste: recycling, landfilling, composting, and incinerating. Each method has its strengths and weaknesses. Lets take a quick look 北京市西城区 20202021 学年度第一学期期末试卷 高二英语 第 8 页（共 21 页）at each. Recycling is the process of turning waste into new materials. For example, used paper can be turned into paperboard, which can be used to make book covers. Recycling can reduce pollution, save materials, and lower energy use. Yet, some argue that recycling wastes energy. They believe that collecting, processing, and converting waste uses more energy than it saves. Still, most people agree that recycling is better for the planet than landfilling. Landfilling is the oldest method of managing waste. In its simplest form, landfilling is when people bury garbage in a hole. Over time the practice of landfilling has advanced. Garbage is squeezed (挤压) together before it is thrown into the hole. In this way more garbage can fit in each landfill. Large liners are placed in the bottom of landfills so that poisonous garbage liquid doesnt get into the ground water. Sadly, these liners dont always work. Landfills may pollute the local water supply. Not to mention that all of that garbage smells horrible. Nobody wants to live next to a landfill. This makes it hard to find new locations for landfills. Because of all the negative attention that landfilling has received, interest in composting has grown. Composting is when people pile up organic matter, such as food waste, and allow it to decompose. The product of this decomposition is compost. Compost can be added to the soil to make the soil richer and better for growing crops. One thing that is easier to do is burning garbage. There are two main ways to incinerate waste. The first is to create or harvest a fuel from the waste, such as methane gas (沼气), and burn the fuel. The second is to burn the waste directly. The heat from the incineration process can boil water, which can power steam generators. Unfortunately, burning garbage pollutes the air. Also, some critics worry that incinerators destroy valuable resources that could be recycled. Usually, the community in which you live manages waste. Once you put your garbage in that can, what happens to it is beyond your control. But you can make choices while it is still in your hands. You can choose to recycle, you can choose to compost, or you can choose to let someone else deal with it. The choice is yours. 38. Why does the author mention magical garbage fairies in the first paragraph? A. To creatively support his argument with evidence.B. To point out that garbage doesnt disappear by itself.C. To make the language more attractive to please readers.D. To draw attention to different kinds of garbage thrown away.北京市西城区 20202021 学年度第一学期期末试卷 高二英语 第 9 页（共 21 页）39. What can we learn from the passage? A. Some think recycling is a waste of time.B. Incineration may destroy recyclable resources.C. Finding new locations is the focus of landfilling.D. The purpose of a compost pile is to make soil rich.40. According to the passage, landfilling _. A. involves burying garbage in a holeB. reduces the horrible smellsC. squeezes garbage togetherD. protects ground water41. Which of the following could be the best title for
