解析
本文是一篇记叙文。全文讲述了作者通过参加一次小组活动来了解残疾人所面临的问题的经历。作者和其他人都暂时“接受残疾”，把自己“扮”成残疾人，而作者选择了坐轮椅的方式。由于是第一次坐轮椅，作者不知道该把脚放到哪里，以及怎样使轮椅转起来。通过这次经历作者体验了残疾人每天在生活中所面临的种种挑战。
小题1:解析：选B。结合空格前sensitivity的含义“感受，敏感”以及常识可推断，这个活动的目的是让人们对于残疾人在生活中所面临的问题有更多的了解。从本文结尾作者的感受中也可判断出应选择B项。
小题2:解析：选B。下文中For disabled people，“adopting a wheelchair”is not a temporary(临时的)．..提到了adopt这个词，指的是让人们采用乘坐轮椅的方式了解残疾人，这是一种暗示；此处指的是被要求“接受残疾”几个小时以了解残疾人，因此选B。cure表示“治愈”；prevent表示“阻止”；analyze 表示“分析”。
小题3:解析：选D。作者以自己作为例子，下文中也主要是以作者本人的体验来展开的，所以选like me“像我这样的”。
小题4:解析：选A。根据下文的I had never considered before how __40__it would be to use one.可知，作者从来没有考虑过怎样使用轮椅，所以这是一个学习的过程，故选learning。
小题5:解析：选B。既然作者没使用过轮椅，同时结合下文也可看出作者使用起轮椅比较笨拙，不知道该怎样弄才好，因此选B。
小题6:解析：选D。结合前面的As soon as I sat down...以及后面的made the chair begin to roll的暗示和常识可知，当作者坐下后，应该是作者的体重使得轮椅开始动起来。
小题7:解析：选A。作者一坐下轮椅就开始动起来，表明这个轮子没有被锁住。
小题8:解析：选B。联系下文It took me quite a while to get the metal footrest...中的footrest可知，这里指作者不知道该把脚放到哪里。
小题9:解析：选A。联系上句的内容可知，作者费了半天劲，终于把footrest放到了恰当的位置，上文的where对此处的place也是一种提示。
小题10:解析：选C。这里表示作者第一次不安地看了看将要在上面度过几个小时的唯一的交通工具(transportation)。
小题11:解析：选C。联系本文最后一段的My wheelchair experiment was soon...可知，作者进行的只是一次坐轮椅的体验。此处表示：对那些终生在轮椅上的人们来说，却并非是一次临时性的体验。
小题12:解析：选D。联系后面的thought it might be restful 中的restful可知，作者经过一番周折想在轮椅上找一个比较舒适的位置来坐得放松些。
小题13:解析：选D。restful和nice是一种递进的关系，故选even，表示程度，意为“甚至”。
小题14:解析：选B。联系下文的I would have to handle the thing myself！可知，作者原以为有人会推着自己的轮椅到处转转。
小题15:解析：选A。联系前面的Looking around“环顾四周”，作者终于明白了I would have to handle the thing myself，即作者明白了得自己来推动轮椅，而不是有人推着他。
小题16:解析：选B。结合前面的My hands started to ache和后面的the heavy metal wheels 可知，当作者转动轮子让轮椅移动的时候，因为费力，所以手都疼了。turn在这里表示“转动”。
小题17:解析：选C。转动轮椅的轮子后，下一步就是把握轮椅的方向。
小题18:解析：选A。对于一个“新人”来说，控制轮椅的方向不是一项容易的任务。
小题19:解析：选D。前文已经提到了for several hours one Sunday，联系下文的It made a deep impression on me.可知，作者的这次体验很快就结束了。
小题20:解析：选C。几个小时的残疾体验，对于作者无论在生理上还是心理上都是一种挑战，而这种挑战是残疾人必须克服的，故答案为C项。 |

China is a land of bicycles.At least it was back in 1992 when I traveled the country.Back then everyone seemed to be riding a bicycle.Millions of them，all black.Cars were rare.Yet since my arrival in Beijing last year，I’ve found the opposite is true.There are millions of cars.However，people still use their bicycles to get around.For many，it’s the easiest and cheapest way to travel today.Bicycles also come in different colors－silver，green，red，blue，yellow，whatever you want.
It’s fun watching people biking.They rush quickly through crossroads，move skillfully through traffic，and ride even on sidewalks(人行道)．Bicycles allow people the freedom to move about that cars just can’t provide.
Eager to be part of this aspect of Chinese culture，I decided to buy a bicycle.Great weather accompanied my great buy.I immediately jumped up on my bicycle seat and started home.
My first ride home was orderly (守秩序的)．To be safe，I stayed with a“pack”of bikers while cars on the streets came running swiftly out of nowhere at times.I didn’t want to get hit.So I took the ride carefully.
Crossing the streets was the biggest problem.It was a lot like crossing a major highway back in the United States.The streets here were wide，so crossing took time，skill and a little bit of luck.
I finally made it home.The feeling on the bicycle was amazing.The air hitting my face and going through my hair was wonderful.I was sitting on top of the world as I passed by places and people.Biking made me feel alive.
小题1:According to the author，why are bicycles still popular in China today?| A．Because they are traditional and safe. | | B．Because they are convenient and inexpensive. | | C．Because they are colorful and available. | | D．Because they are fast and environment friendly. |
小题2:The author decided to buy a bicycle because he intended ________.| A．to ride it for fun | | B．to use it for transport | | C．to experience local culture | | D．to improve his riding skills |
小题3:How did the author feel about his street crossing?| A．It was boring. | B．It was difficult. | | C．It was lively. | D．It was wonderful. |
小题4:Which of the following best describes the author’s biking experience?| A．The author enjoyed showing off his biking skills. | | B．The author was annoyed by the air while riding. | | C．The author was praised by the other bikers. | | D．The author took great pleasure in biking. |

Some years ago，writing in my diary used to be a usual activity.I would return from school and spend the expected half hour recording the day’s events，feelings，and impressions in my little blue diary.I did not really need to express my emotions by way of words，but I gained a certain satisfaction from seeing my experiences forever recorded on paper.After all，isn’t accumulating memories a way of preserving the past?
When I was thirteen years old，I went on a long journey on foot in a great valley，wellequipped with pens，a diary，and a camera.During the trip，I was busy recording every incident，name and place I came across.I felt proud to be spending my time productively，dutifully preserving for future generations a detailed description of my travels.On my last night there，I wandered out of my tent，diary in hand.The sky was clear and lit by the glare of the moon，and the walls of the valley looked threatening behind their screen of shadows.I automatically took out my pen...
At that point，I understood that nothing I wrote could ever match or replace the few seconds I allowed myself to experience the dramatic beauty of the valley.All I remembered of the previous few days were the dull characterizations I had set down in my diary.
Now，I only write in my diary when I need to write down a special thought or feeling.I still love to record ideas and quotations that strike me in books，or observations that are particularly meaningful.I take pictures，but not very often－only of objects I find really beautiful.I’m no longer blindly satisfied with having something to remember when I grow old.I realize that life will simply pass me by if I stay behind the camera，busy preserving the present so as to live it in the future.
I don’t want to wake up one day and have nothing but a pile of pictures and notes.Maybe I won’t have as many exact representations of people and places；maybe I’ll forget certain facts，but at least the experiences will always remain inside me.I don’t live to make memories－I just live，and the memories form themselves.
小题1:Before the age of thirteen，the author regarded keeping a diary as a way of________.| A．observing her school routine | | B．expressing her satisfaction | | C．impressing her classmates | | D．preserving her history |
小题2:What caused a change in the author’s understanding of keeping a diary?| A．A dull night on the journey. | | B．The beauty of the great valley. | | C．A striking quotation from a book. | | D．Her concerns for future generations. |
小题3:What does the author put in her diary now?| A．Notes and beautiful pictures. | | B．Special thoughts and feelings. | | C．Detailed accounts of daily activities. | | D．Descriptions of unforgettable events. |
小题4:The author comes to realize that to live a meaningful life is________.| A．to experience it | | B．to live the present in the future | | C．to make memories | | D．to give accurate representations of it |

When 19yearold Sophia Giorgi said she was thinking of volunteering to help the MakeAWish Foundation (基金会)，nobody understood what she was talking about.But Sophia knew just how important MakeAWish could be because this special organization had helped to make a dream come true for one of her best friends.We were interested in finding out more，so we went along to meet Sophia and listen to what she had to say.
Sophia told us that MakeAWish is a worldwide organization that started in the United States in 1980.“It’s a charity(慈善机构)that helps children who have got very serious illnesses.MakeAWish helps children feel happy even though they are sick，by making their wishes and dreams come true，”Sophia explained.
We asked Sophia how MakeAWish had first started.She said it had all begun with a very sick young boy called Chris，who had been dreaming for a long time of becoming a policeman.Sophia said lots of people had wanted to find a way to make Chris’s dream come true－so，with everybody’s help，Chris，only seven years old at the time，had been a“policeman”for a day.“When people saw how delighted Chris was when his dream came true，they decided to try and help other sick children too，and that was the beginning of MakeAWish，”explained Sophia.
Sophia also told us the Foundation tries to give children and their families a special，happy time.A MakeAWish volunteer visits the families and asks the children what they would wish for if they could have anything in the world.Sophia said the volunteers were important because they were the ones who helped to make the wishes come true.They do this either by providing things that are necessary，or by raising money or helping out in whatever way they can.
小题1:Sophia found out about MakeAWish because her best friend had________.| A．benefited from it | | B．volunteered to help it | | C．dreamed about it | | D．told the author about it |

小题4:Which of the following is true about MakeAWish volunteers?| A．They are important for making wishes come true. | | B．They try to help children get over their illnesses. | | C．They visit sick children to make them feel special. | | D．They provide what is necessary to make MakeAWish popular. |
