  I always felt sorry for the people in wheelchair.Some people, old and weak, cannot get around by themselves.Others seem perfectly healthy, dressed in business suits.But whenever I saw someone in a wheelchair, I only saw a disability, not a person.

  Then I fainted(暈倒)at Euro Disney due to low blood pressure.This was the first time I had ever fainted, and my parents said that I must rest for a while after First Aid.I agreed to take it easy but, as I stepped toward the door, I saw my dad pushing a wheelchair in my direction! Feeling the color burn my cheeks, I asked him to wheel that thing right back to where he found it.

  I could not believe this was happening to me.Wheelchairs were fine for other people but not for me, as my father wheeled me out into the main street, people immediately began to treat me differently.

  Little kids ran in front of me, forcing my father to stop the wheel chair suddenly.Bitterness set in as I was thrown back and forth.“Stupid kids-they have perfectly good legs.Why can’t they watch where they are going?” I thought.People stared down at me, pity in their eyes.Then they would look away, maybe because they thought the sooner they forgot me the better.

  “I’m just like you!” I wanted to scream.“The only difference is you’ve got legs, and I have wheels.”

  People in wheelchairs are not stupid.They see every look and hear each word.Looking out at the faces, I finally? understood:I was once just like them.I treated people in wheelchairs exactly the way they did not want to be treated.I realized it is some of us with two healthy legs who are truly disabled.

(1)

Facing the wheelchair for the first time, the author ________.

[  ]

A.

felt curious about it

B.

got ready to move around in it right away

C.

refused to accept it right away

D.

thought it was ready for his father

(2)

The experience of the author tells us that “________”.

[  ]

A.

life is the best teacher

B.

people often eat their bitter fruit

C.

life is so changeable that nobody can foretell

D.

one should not do to others what he would not like others do to him

(3)

Which is the best title for this passage?

[  ]

A.

How to Get Used to Wheelchairs

B.

The Wheels Are as Good as Two Legs

C.

People with Two Legs Are Truly Healthy

D.

The Difference Between Healthy People and the Disabled

答案:1.C;2.D;3.D;
解析:

(1)

細(xì)節(jié)推斷題。當(dāng)作者看到父親推來(lái)輪椅時(shí),還一時(shí)無(wú)法接受自己也將坐在輪椅上成為一名殘疾人的事實(shí)。所以“I asked him to wheel that thing right back to where he found it.”根據(jù)這個(gè)信息,選擇C。

(2)

推理判斷題。作者的親身經(jīng)歷說(shuō)明了一個(gè)問(wèn)題:己所不欲,勿施與人。作者還是一個(gè)正常人時(shí),他看殘疾人時(shí)的目光是憐憫的,但自己不覺(jué)得有什么不妥;而當(dāng)自己成為殘疾人時(shí),卻無(wú)法接受人們可憐的目光。所以答案應(yīng)該為D。

(3)

本題為主旨大意題。作者一開始就亮出了自己的觀點(diǎn):But whenever I saw someone in a wheelchair, I only saw a disability, not a person.所以作者想通過(guò)本文說(shuō)明,正常人不是把殘疾人當(dāng)成一個(gè)人來(lái)看待;同時(shí)作者最后的結(jié)論是:殘疾人認(rèn)為自己是一個(gè)人,而不是disability,這是正反不同的兩種觀點(diǎn),所以答案為D。分析其他的幾個(gè)選項(xiàng)都不合文意。

  Proverbs (諺語(yǔ)) are 勻quite common in spoken English. We do not normally use them in a composition or letter. But more often than not it is helpful if you know what common proverbs mean.

  Here are a few examples:

  1)“Once bitten,twice shy.” If a dog bites me,I shall be twice as careful in future when I see it again. This proverb is also used to apply to (適用) many things. If you have been cheated at a shop,you will not go to the same shop again.

  2)“A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.” if I am a hunter,trying to catch birds,it is better to catch one bird than to see two birds in a bush which I can't catch. Thus this means that what you have already got is better than the chance of being able to get something bigger in future.

  3)“Too many cooks spoil the broth (soup).” When too many people do something,they get in each other's way.

  4)“To pour oil on troubled water”is to try to calm things down. Oil is lighter than water. If a ship is in trouble at sea,another ship may come to help it. The second ship can send small boats to rescue people. However,it may first pour oil on the sea to make the sea less rough.

  5)“Don't be a dog in a manger (槽)” means “Don't be selfish”. In a stable (馬廄),the manger is the place where the horse's food is put. Sometimes a dog will sleep in the manger and bark when a horse comes to get its food.The dog does not want to eat the hay in the manger but it will not let the horse eat it.

  6)“He is sitting on the fence” means that somebody will not say whether he is in favor of a plan or against it. He is sitting on a fence (籬笆) between two opposing sides,perhaps waiting to see which side will win.

  7)“He who pays the piper calls the tune. ” A piper is a musician. The man who employs or pays a musician can say what tunes the man will play. Thus this means that if a man provides the money for a plan,he can say how it will be carried out.

  8)“You can't get blood out of a stone” means that you cannot get something from a person who has not got any of the things you want. For example,you cannot get a million dollars from a poor man.

(1)Peter had a bicycle which was much too small for him but he did not want to let his younger brother ride it. His mother was angry and said to him,“_______”

[  ]

A.You can't get blood out of a stone

B.Don't be a dog in a manger

C.The early bird gets the worm

D.Don't be a horse in the manger

(2)Mr and Mrs. Smith had a quarrel. Their friend,Mr. Brown,went to mediate (調(diào)解)in them. When he came back,he told his wife that he had been trying to help the Smiths by ________.

[  ]

A.pouring oil on troubled water

B.getting blood out of a stone

C.being a dog in a manger

D.not pouring oil on water

(3)Mr Wang paid for a new school. Some people did not like the design of the school but they did not argue with Mr. Wang because ________.

[  ]

A.he was sitting on the fence

B.once bitten,twice shy

C.he who pays the piper calls the tune

D.a(chǎn) bird in the hand is worth two in the bush

(4)Mrs Chen wanted to buy a new dress. Her husband suggested that she buy it from a shop near their home. Mrs. Chen disagreed because she had been cheated by that shop. Then she said,“I won't go there again because________.”

[  ]

A.a(chǎn) bird in the hand is worth two in the bush

B.I am sitting on the fence

C.once bitten,twice shy

D.too many cooks spoil the soup

(5)Mr. Brown had quite a good job in Hong Kong but he thought if he went to Singapore he might get a much better job with more money and a large house. His wife did not want him to leave his job in Hong Kong and she reminded him that________.

[  ]
