Its wheels were not __42__. Then I wondered where to put my __43__.It took me quite a while to get the metal footrest into __44__.

第二节 完形填空
【要点综述】 本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者参加了一次周日残疾体验活动,通过对自己几个小时使用轮椅的详细记述,说明了残疾人生活的不易。文章的最后给了我们这样的启示:残疾人必须克服心理和身体上的挑战。
36.C 考查形容词短语的含义。根据空白处后面的the problems faced by disabled people可知,活动的目的是为了“意识”到残疾人面临的问题。
37.C 考查动词词义辨析。根据下文“Some members…Others wore…”可知作者被要求“挑选”一种残疾,而不是“治愈、阻止或分析”。
38.D 考查语境理解。根据最后一段第一句中的“My wheelchair experiment…”可知,作者选择使用轮椅。有些人也“像我”一样选择了轮椅。
39.A 考查动词词义辨析。根据后句“I had never considered before how…”和这段最后一句的感慨可知,作者认为坐在轮椅上就是一次“学习”的经历,而不是工作经历或令人满意、令人放松的经历。
40.B 考查形容词词义辨析。根据第二段的描述可知,以前作者从未意识到使用轮椅有多么的“笨拙”。
41.D 考查名词词义辨析。状语从句部分“As soon as I sat down…”提示,轮子动起来发生的时间是当作者一坐下去的时候,显然能让轮子动起来的不可能是作者的身高或技巧,而是作者的体重。force也有“力”的意思,但表示可以做功的各种力,范围太大,所以最佳答案是D。
42.A 考查动词词义辨析。后句Then提示:本句是对上句轮子为什么会转动的解释,显然因为轮子未被锁住。
43.B 考查名词词义辨析。根据下文“费了好长时间我才让金属footrest (脚蹬)归位”可知,这时的作者不知道把自己的脚放在哪里,毕竟是健康人在模拟残疾人的生活。
44.A 考查名词词义辨析。put …into place有“把……归位”的意思。作者是健康人,他/她刚坐到轮椅上不会驾轻就熟,所以即便将脚蹬归位这样简单的动作,竟然用了很长时间。
45.C 考查名词词义辨析。作者参加的是使用轮椅几小时的体验活动,而轮椅是一种交通工具,故最佳答案是C。means of transportation 交通工具。
46.C 考查名词词义辨析。根据第一段可知,作者参加的是残疾体验活动,使用轮椅只不过是个实验,但对残疾人而言,使用轮椅可不只是个实验,而是一辈子的生活。
47.D 考查形容词词义辨析。作者努力要找一个舒服的姿势,从而被人推着四处走动是件让人放松的事,所以要找的不是“灵活的、安全的或开始的”的姿势。
48.D 考查副词词义辨析。相比空白处前面的restful,空白处后面的kind of nice显然递进了一步,所以最佳答案是even,意思是“甚至”。
49.B 考查动词词义辨析。作者坐着轮椅,自然希望被人推,而不是开车接送或引导,更不会是被人带领四处逛逛。
50.A 考查动词词义辨析。四下张望,“我”意识到只能自己搞定这件事。
51.B 考查动词词义辨析。上句中提到作者意识到没人帮忙推轮椅,只能自己搞定这件事。言外之意是,作者得让轮椅动起来。轮椅的轮子自然得转动,作者的手在轮椅转动起来的同时,开始疼,因为用手拨动轮椅才能转。
52.C 考查名词词义辨析。轮椅是一种交通工具,而交通工具最重要的是掌控方向,这是生活常识。所以,本题的正确答案是C。
53.A 考查形容词词义辨析。上句提到,拨动沉重的轮子的时候,作者的手开始疼。既然轮子重,手又疼,可推知拨动轮椅不是件容易的事。
54.D 考查动词词义辨析。本题出现在最后一段的第一句话,这段正是文章总结性的段落,作者要感慨残疾人的不易,自然要到体验结束,而不是体验被遗忘、重复或实施的时候。
55.B 考查名词词义辨析。A项意为“弱点”;B项意为“挑战”;C项意为“焦虑”;D项意为“疾病”。 “我”只是“品尝”了一下残疾人必须要克服的心理和身体上的挑战。
阅读下面短文,从短文后所给各题的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出能填入相应空白处的最佳选项。
It was 4 o’clock in the morning, when I received the phone call.
“This is the emergency room calling and your son was just 1 in with severe burns on his face, neck and arms. We’ve called for a (n) 2 and are going to fly him to the burn unit in Seattle.”
Seattle was 350 miles from his college, so we knew immediately this was 3 .
The doctor described the accident, which caused the burns. At 6 am, our son and his friends decided to barbecue hamburgers. When they 4 the charcoal (木炭), it burst into flames because they had sprayed (喷洒) too much gasoline (petrol). The flames 5 my son’s shirt tail and shot from his waist to his head.
6 , one of the boys was quick-minded, grasped my son, and rolled him on the grass. While it saved his life, it was not in 7 to save him from severe burns and the terrible scars (伤疤). So, he had to return to college with scars.
When I was a child, my mother told my sister, who had a 10-inch, very 8 scar on her arm. “Ann, if you ignore the scar, other people will ignore it. It doesn’t mean they won’t 9 it, but it means it will not matter to them if it doesn’t matter to you.”
I 10 this wisdom (智慧) on to my son. He took my advice to 11 and returned to school with his head held high — glad he was alive.
By the end of the six-month waiting period, he decided that the scars did not matter, so he made the 12 to give up any plastic surgery (外科手术).
We all have “scars” that 13 people to keep away from us. And we spend a lot of time thinking that if only we looked differently, or dressed differently, people would like us better.
But you see, people will only judge you by your looks, or your clothes, if you are judging yourself by these same 14 standards(标准). Put your imperfections out of your 15 and concentrate (集中) on what you value within yourself, and your beauty will shine through.
