【題目】根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容,從短文后的選項中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項。選項中有兩項為多余選項。

Understanding Disabilities

There are around 650 million people in the world that have disabilitiesyet most people are still quite ignorant about it.

(1)What do you think of when you see the word, ‘disability’?

Wheelchairs? White sticks? The Paralympics? 1 The legal definition of disability is that someone has a physical or mental impairment that has a great and longterm bad effect on his or her ability to carry out normal daytoday activities.

This affects about 650 million of us, worldwide. 2 Most become disabled during the course of their life. So maybe the term TAB (Temporarily AbleBodied) is better for people who are not disabled,because we may not stay that way forever.

(2)3

Imagine not being able to see,or not being able to walk. Think of all the things that would be different. How can I get my education? What about my future? Would my friends still want to hang out with me? Will strangers laugh at me in the street? Can I get my own place? What job can I do?

Clearly,having a disability can affect many things in a person's life.

(3)Disability and the law

4 It is illegal and extremely unpleasant to discriminate (歧視) against someone who is differently abled. The label ‘disabled’ is not always helpful. Even if someone meets the legal definition,they may not see themselves that way. Instead of thinking about what is wrong with those people,or noticing what they can't do,we should look at how we like to liveand try to make it possible for everyone to join in.

After all—what is normal?5 But better understanding would be a start.

AHow can the disabled find better jobs?

BHow does disability affect people?

CPeople with disabilities don't need pity.

DMost of us have never really thought about it.

EWe should consider more for people with disabilities.

FOnly 17% of people with a disability are born with it.

GThere are laws to prevent people with disabilities being treated unfairly.

【答案】

1D

2F

3B

4G

5C

【解析】試題分析:文章通過對人們平常對殘疾的理解引出殘疾的定義,通過描寫法律保護(hù)殘疾人,告訴人們要理解殘疾人。

1D考查對上下文的理解和推理判斷能力。根據(jù)上一句:提到disability想到輪椅手杖或是殘奧會;下一句內(nèi)容為對殘疾的定義,可知此句內(nèi)容應(yīng)改為我們對殘疾從未真正地了解。故選D。

2F考查對上下文的理解和推理判斷能力。根據(jù)下一句:Most become disabled during the course of their life. 大多數(shù)人成為殘疾人是后天生活中的原因,可知前一句內(nèi)容應(yīng)該為多少殘疾人是先天的。故選F。

3B考查對上下文的理解和推理判斷能力。根據(jù)后文內(nèi)容介紹,想象無法看到,或不能走路,把所有的東西都想象成不同的。我怎樣接受教育?我的未來會怎么樣?我的朋友還會想和我一起出去嗎?在街上的陌生人會嘲笑我嗎?我可以到達(dá)我自己想去地方嗎?我能做什么工作?顯然,殘疾可以影響一個人生活的許多事情?芍径蔚拇笠鈶(yīng)該為殘疾會怎么影響人。故選B。

4G考查對上下文的理解和推理判斷能力。根據(jù)標(biāo)題3Disability and the law可知,此空所填的內(nèi)容應(yīng)該是關(guān)于殘疾和法律的,答案中與法律有關(guān)的是G;根據(jù)后文內(nèi)容,歧視殘疾人是不合法的,故選G。

5C考查對上下文的理解和推理判斷能力。根據(jù)后文內(nèi)容But better understanding would be a start.更多的理解或許是個開始,此句為轉(zhuǎn)折句,前一句內(nèi)容應(yīng)該與后文表達(dá)的是不同方面的,故選C。

【題目】PITTSBURGH For most people, snakes seem unpleasant or even threatening. But Howie Choset sees in their delicate movements a way to save lives.

The 37-year-old Carnegie Mellon University professor has spent years developing snake-like robots he hopes will eventually slide through fallen buildings in search of victims trapped after natural disasters or other emergencies.

Dan Kara is president of Robotics Trends, a Northboro, mass-based company that publishes an online industry magazine and runs robotics trade shows. He said there are other snake-like robots being developed, mainly at universities, but didn't know of one that could climb pipes.

The Carnegie Mellon machines are designed to carry cameras and electronic sensors and can be controlled with a joystick (操縱桿). They move smoothly with the help of small electric motors, or servos, commonly used by hobbyists in model airplanes.

Built from lightweight materials, the robots are about the size of a human arm or smaller. They can sense which way is up, but are only as good as their human operators, Choset added.

Sam Stover, a search term manager with the Federal Emergency Management Agency based in Indiana, said snake-type robots would offer greater mobility than equipment currently available, such as cameras attached to extendable roles.

"It just allows us to do something we've not been able to do before," Stover said, "We needed them yesterday."

He said sniffer dogs are still the best search tool for rescue workers, but that they can only be used effectively when workers have access to damaged building.

Stover, among the rescue workers who handled the aftermath (后果) of Hurricane Katrina, said snake robots would have helped rescuers search flooded houses in that disaster.

Choset said the robots may not be ready for use for another five to ten years, depending on funding.

1Which institution is responsible for the development of Choset's robots?

A. Robotics Trends. B. Pittsburgh City Council.

C. Carnegie Mellon University. D. Federal Emergency Management Agency.

2Choset believes that his invention _________.

A. can be attached to an electronic arm

B. can be used by hobbyists in model airplanes

C. can find victims more quickly than a sniffer dog

D. can sense its way as well as its operators

3By saying "We needed them yesterday" (paragraph 7), Stover means that snake-like robots ________.

A. could help handle the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina

B. should have been put to use in past rescue work

C. helped rescuers search flooded houses yesterday

D. were in greater need yesterday than today

4What is the text mainly about?

A. Snake-like robots used in industries.

B. Snake-like robots made to aid in rescues.

C. The development of snake-like robots.

D. The working principles of snake-like robots.
