13.The Importance of Accessibility Awareness
At a recent Teen Leadership of Jewish Family Services meeting,people with disabilities talked about their lives.(36)G However,what amazed me most was the great importance of education about handicap accommodations (殘疾人便利設施).
One school-teacher who is blind,and a woman who has used a wheelchair all her life are two important members of the National Group for Disabled Persons,devoted to raising awareness about disabilities.(37)C These include handicap parking spots,handrails,and wheelchair ramps.One big concern is the people who take advantage of aids,such as handicap parking spaces.(38)F And the meeting focused on educating the public.
Some handicap spots have extra room next to them,marked with the"No Parking"signs."As long as I'm not in the spot,I can take the no-parking area next to it,"some people say.However,the woman who uses a wheelchair disagrees to this.The space exists to allow someone in a wheelchair to have room to get in or out of their car.(39)E
Some walkways have handrails next to them to help those who require extra assistance.Whether it is a blind person seeking guidance or an elderly person seeking support,the rail is there for walking.Sometimes the rail is blocked,by a parked bicycle for instance,and consequently made useless.(40)BPeople who are informed of the rail's use would be less likely to mistake it for a bike rack.
Meeting some of the people who are affected by the lack of education about accommodations made me see that there is work to be done.If more people were educated about the proper uses of accommodations,there would be fewer challenges for people with physical disabilities.
A.Accommodations will vary according to the needs of the disabled.
B.As with the parking spot,this is more likely a case of lack of education.
C.They educate about all the accommodations for people with disabilities.
D.Improvement must be made so that disabled people can fully participate.
E.If there is a car in that space,the handicap parking spot is no longer useful.
F.So people without disabilities need to be educated about these accommodations.
G.I was amazed to hear about the challenges faced by people with physical disabilities.
分析 本文屬于說明文閱讀,作者通過這篇文章主要向我們描述了
解答 36.G.推理判斷題.根據(jù)前文At a recent Teen Leadership of Jewish Family Services meeting,people with disabilities talked about their lives."在會議上殘疾人談論他們的生活."可知,G項"聽到殘疾人面臨的挑戰(zhàn)我感到很吃驚."符合語篇邏輯.選G.
37.C.推理判斷題.根據(jù)下文中的"handicap parking spots,handrails and wheelchair ramps"可知,它們都屬于殘疾人的便利設施.選C.
38.F.推理判斷題.前文One big concern is the people who take advantage of aids,such as handicap parking spaces提到一個很大的擔憂就是人們占用殘疾人便利設施.故F項"因此需要對健全人進行關于這些便利設施的教育."符合語境.選F.
39.E.推理判斷題.前文The space exists to allow someone in a wheelchair to have room to get in or out of their car提到那個地方存在是為了讓坐輪椅的人有空上下車.E項意為"如果那個地方有車,殘疾人的停車點就不再有用了."符合語境.選E.
40.B.推理判斷題.根據(jù)下文People who are informed of the rail's use would be less likely to mistake it for a bike rack可知,知道扶手用途的人是不大可能把它錯認為是自行車架的.B項"至于占用停車位,很有可能是缺乏教育的結果."符合語境.故選B.
點評 七選五閱讀是完成性閱讀,和完形填空很類似,不同的是一個選詞,一個選句子.解題時,要注意上下文語境,充分考慮信息詞(選項中和空格前后句子中相同或相近的詞),選出最符合語境的句子.
