题目内容
1.It's roughly estimated that there are 450million disabled people in the world.No one knows exactly how many disabled people there are in the world.The number of disabled people in India alone is probably more than double the total population of Canada.In the United Kingdom,about one in ten people have some disability.Disability is not just something that happens to other people:as we get older,many of us will become less mobile,hard of hearing or have failing eyesight.
Disablement can take many forms and occur at any time of life.Some people are born with disabilities.Many others become disabled as they get older.There are many progressive disabling diseases.The longer time goes on,the worse they become.Some people are disabled in accidents.Many others may have a period of disability in the form of a mental illness.All are affected by people's attitude towards them.
Disabled people face many physical barriers.Next time you go shopping or to work or visit friends,imagine how you would manage if you could not get up steps,or on to buses and trains.How would you cope if you could not see where you were going or could not hear the traffic?But there are other barriers:prejudice can be even harder to break down and ignorance inevitably represents by far the greatest barrier of all.It is almost impossible for the able-bodied to fully appreciate what the severely disabled go through,so it is important to draw attention to these barriers and show that it is the individual person and their ability not their disability that count.
28.The first paragraph points out thatC.
A.the number of disabled people in India is the greatest
B.India has much more disabled people than Canada

D.it is impossible to get an exact figure of the world's disabled people
29.The last word of the passage"count"most probably meansD.
A be numbered B.be included
C.be considered D.be most important
30.Which of the following statements is not true?C
A.About 10percent of people in the UK are disabled.
B.Even the able-bodied may lose some of their body functions when they get older.
C.There still exists prejudice against the disabled which results mainly from ignorance
D.The whole society should pay due attention to the barriers faced by the disabled people
31.It can be concluded from the passage thatB.
A.both physical and metal barriers are hard to break down
B.we should take a proper attitude towards the disabled
C.we should try our best to prevent disablement
D.the able-bodies people will never fully understand the disabled.

点评 考察学生的细节理解和推理判断能力,做细节理解题时一定要找到文章中的原句,和题干进行比较,再做出正确的选择.在做推理判断题不要以个人的主观想象代替文章的事实,要根据文章事实进行合乎逻辑的推理判断.
A.Make sure a sale is a sale. B.Use less to save money. C.Shop wisely. D.Shop in large amount. E.Establish a person budget. F.Spend less to save money. |
76.F
Review what you spend and look at ways you can save money.Consider making telephone calls for instance only at off-peak times.Do you really need to have newspapers and magazines delivered?Can you do without those coffees you buy at break time everyday-would a flask of coffee taken to work save you money?What about using the public lending library instead of buying books or music CDs?
77.E
This is essential for families and individuals and can be the fastest way to save money.You will instantly see your incomings and outgoings once you figure out the amount of money available to spend.You will not be able to save money unless you know how much money you have coming in,and how much money you have going out.
78.A
Do your price research before you make an expensive purchase in a retailers promotion.You have to be sure the promotion really is not a creative marketing strategy of the store to encourage you to spend your money without thinking.Once you have researched the true price of a product (any product) you are in a good position to take advantage of a promotion,special offer or discount and really save money.
79.C
Consider markets,superstores,farmer's markets,local shops and stores.Anywhere is worth checking out to see if you can save money.Farmer's Markets can be particularly good places to save money.Typically you are buying direct from the producer of the product so the savings are passed on to you.Use your bulk buying strategy here-farmer's markets often offer opportunities to save money by buying larger quantities of staples,for instance potatoes,rice or corn.
80.B
We live in a consumer society where waste is a huge problem.If we could all use and consume less,there would be less waste and power consumption.Consider using less shampoo when you wash your hair,this may not mean washing your hair less effectively but it means not flushing the excess shampoo and your money down the drain.Turn off lights,the TV and the computer when they are not in use.Each little saving you make will build up and enable you to save money.
A.Glass art crafts are becoming popular. B.The physical feature of glass. C.Technology made glass bulbs affordable. D.Scientists'dreams cost millions. E.Architectural experiments with glass. F.The wide use of glass. |
Glass,in one form or another,has long been in noble service to humans.As one of the most widely used of manufactured materials,it can be as impressive as a telescope mirror the width of a tennis court or as small and simple as a marble rolling across dirt.The uses of this adaptable material have been broadened dramatically by new technologies.
77.C
Not all the glass technology that touches our lives is ultra-modern.Consider the simple light bulb; at the turn of the century most light bulbs were hand blown,and the cost of one was equal to half a day's pay for the average worker.In effect,the most light bulbs were hand blown,and the cost of one was equal to half a day's pay for the average worker.In effect,the invention of the ribbon machine by Corning in the 1920s lighted a nation.The price of a bulb plunged.
78.B
The secret of the adaptation of glass lies in its interior structure.Although it is hard,and thus like a solid,the atoms are arranged in a random disordered way,characteristic of a liquid.In the melting process,the atoms in the raw materials are disturbed from their normal position in the molecular (分子) structure.This looseness in molecular structure gives the material what engineers call tremendous"formability",which allows technicians to tailor glass to whatever they need.
79.A
The use of glass as art,a tradition dates back at least to Roman times,is booming.Nearly everywhere,it seems,men and women are blowing glass and creating works of art."I didn't sell a piece of glass until 1975,"Dale Chihuly said,smiling.For 18years he has become one of the most financially successful artists of the 20th century.He now has a new commission,a glass sculpture for the headquarters building of a pizza company---for which his fee is half a million dollars.
80.E
Today,scientists continue to experiment with new glass mixtures and building designers test their imaginations with applications of special types of glass.A London architect,Mike Davies,sees even more dramatic buildings using molecular chemistry."Glass is the great building material of the future,"he said.Think of how the tall buildings in New York could perform a symphony of colors as the glass in them is made to change colors instantly.Mike Davies's vision may indeed be on the way to fulfillment.
