【題目】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. Before you know it, you’ll forget you were ever worried!

Method 1: Staring Your Conversation

【1】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. 【2】

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. 【3】

Method 2: Communicating through Lip-reading.

Keep your sentences simple and use plain language. 【4】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. 【5】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.

【解析】這是一篇介紹說明類文章。文章介紹了如何和聾人交流。

【1】下文提到的進(jìn)入某人的視野范圍，禮貌的揮手，輕拍某人都是引起對(duì)方注意的方式。故A選項(xiàng)適合做段標(biāo)題。

【2】由該段標(biāo)題“Position yourself carefully”可知，該段主要建議我們要認(rèn)真確定自己的位置。選項(xiàng)中和“position”有關(guān)的選項(xiàng)只有E選項(xiàng)。

【3】由該段標(biāo)題“Find out how the person prefers to communicate”可知，該段建議我們要弄清楚地方喜歡哪種交流方式。承接該話題，F選項(xiàng)切題：想知道哪種辦法最有效，最好的方式就是問一問。該選項(xiàng)和上一句中的“methods”呼應(yīng)。

【4】上一句提到，Keep your sentences simple and use plain language盡量是你的句子簡單，使用簡單的語言。承接該句，G選項(xiàng)切題：在一開始，盡量不要使用太難的詞。

【5】上一句提到，當(dāng)其他人在說話的時(shí)候，不要背對(duì)著When someone else is speaking, don’t turn away from the deaf person in your group。承接該句，D選項(xiàng)切題：如果這樣的話，會(huì)使得他們感到被排除在了談話之外。
