Question

【题目】根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

Understanding Disabilities

There are around 650 million people in the world that have disabilities，yet 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 (歧视) 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 live，and try to make it possible for everyone to join in.

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

A． How can the disabled find better jobs?

B． How does disability affect people?

C． People with disabilities don't need pity.

D． Most of us have never really thought about it.

E． We should consider more for people with disabilities.

F． Only 17% of people with a disability are born with it.

G．There are laws to prevent people with disabilities being treated unfairly.

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】D

【2】F

【3】B

【4】G

【5】C

【解析】试题分析：文章通过对人们平常对残疾的理解引出残疾的定义，通过描写法律保护残疾人，告诉人们要理解残疾人。

【1】D考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。根据上一句：提到disability想到轮椅手杖或是残奥会；下一句内容为对残疾的定义，可知此句内容应改为我们对残疾从未真正地了解。故选D。

【2】F考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。根据下一句：Most become disabled during the course of their life. 大多数人成为残疾人是后天生活中的原因，可知前一句内容应该为多少残疾人是先天的。故选F。

【3】B考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。根据后文内容介绍，想象无法看到,或不能走路，把所有的东西都想象成不同的。我怎样接受教育?我的未来会怎么样?我的朋友还会想和我一起出去吗?在街上的陌生人会嘲笑我吗?我可以到达我自己想去地方吗?我能做什么工作?显然,残疾可以影响一个人生活的许多事情。可知本段的大意应该为残疾会怎么影响人。故选B。

【4】G考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。根据标题3．Disability and the law可知，此空所填的内容应该是关于残疾和法律的，答案中与法律有关的是G；根据后文内容，歧视残疾人是不合法的，故选G。

【5】C考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。根据后文内容But better understanding would be a start.更多的理解或许是个开始，此句为转折句，前一句内容应该与后文表达的是不同方面的，故选C。
