The Importance of Accessibility Awareness
At a recent Teen Leadership of Jewish Family Services meeting, people with disabilities talked about their lives.   小题1:  However, what amazed me most was the great importance of education about handicap accommodations (残疾人便利设施).
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.   小题2:  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.   小题3:  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.   小题4:  
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.   小题5:  People 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.
答案

解析

试题分析:有许多的残疾人便利设施经常被人们占用,比如停车、停放自行车等,这严重影响了残疾人的出行。对公众开展残疾人便利设施的使用方面的教育是很有必要的。
小题1:根据“people with disabilities talked about their lives ...the great importance of education about handicap accommodations”可知,第一段讲的是有关残疾人的事情,G项“身体残疾的人所面对的困难让作者感到吃惊”符合段意,故选G。
小题2:根据“devoted to raising awareness about disabilities ...These include handicap parking spots, handrails, and wheelchair ramps.”可知,这个组织致力于提高残疾人使用便利设施的意识,C“他们教育残疾人使用便利设施的方法”符合段意,故选C。
小题3:根据“One big concern is the people who take advantage of aids, such as handicap parking spaces. ...And the meeting focused on educating the public”可知,人们往往会占用残疾人便利设施,对大众的教育是会议的焦点,故选F。
小题4:根据“The space exists to allow someone in a wheelchair to have room to get in or out of their car.”可知,E“如果那里停着一辆车,残疾人停车区域就派不上用场了”与上文连接最紧密,故选E。
小题5:根据“Sometimes the rail is blocked, by a parked bicycle for instance, and consequently made useless. ...People who are informed of the rail’s use would be less likely to mistake it for a bike rack.”可知,残疾人专用扶手有时会被自行车等占用,而知道这种扶手的用途的人是不会去占用的,由此可见,对公众的教育很有必要,故选B。

We all like watching online videos of dogs and cats doing funny things. But if you had to decide, which of the two animals would you say you might like better? Your answer may say something about your personality.
According to a 2010 study led by Sam Gosling, a scientist at the University of Texas, US, dog people are about 15 percent more outgoing and 13 percent more pleasant to be friends with than cat people.
This is not hard to understand, since cats and dogs behave differently themselves. “Cats will occasionally engage in social activities, but usually after only a few minutes, they will abandon the game. Dogs, on the other hand, will often engage in play, like fetching a thrown ball, for hours at a time,” said Modern Dog Magazine.
Although cat people are less social, Gosling’s study showed that they are 11 percent more open-minded than dog people. They usually like art, adventures and unusual ideas. They also have more imagination and curiosity. But dog people are more likely to stick to old beliefs and traditional interests.
However, their love of a free lifestyle also means that cat people dislike making plans. They just follow whatever ideas pop into their heads without planning ahead. But dog people are different. They usually have strong self-control and like to carry out their plans.
Despite these big differences between dog people and cat people, there are some things that they have in common, “Both types of people consider themselves close to nature, dislike animal-print clothing, and are generally optimists,” noted Mother Nature Network.
But can personality change? Can a cat person become a dog person, or the other way around? In a study done by Stanley Coren, a scientist based in Canada, he asked cat owners: “If you had enough living space and there were no objections form other people in your life, and someone gave you a puppy as a gift, would you keep it?”
About 68 percent of them said they would not accept a dog as a pet. But when dog owners were asked the same question about a kitten, almost 70 percent said they would allow a cat into their lives.
小题1:According to the article, dog people _____________ cat people.
A.perform better in school than B.are more open-minded than
C.have closer friends thanD.are more traditional than
小题2:The underlined phrase “engage in” in Paragraph 3 probably means_____________.
A.take little interest in B.take part in C.benefit fromD.suffer from
小题3:What do cat people and dog people have in common?
A.Both of them like planning ahead
B.Both of them love travelling and adventures
C.Both of them are imaginative and curious
D.Both of them care about nature.
小题4:What can we conclude from the last two paragraphs?
A.Cat people are more likely to become dog people.
B.Dog people are more likely to accept cats into their homes than cat people are to accept dogs.
C.Neither dog nor cat people like to accept a new pet.
D.It is difficult to find out whether dog people or cat people will make a change.

If you see a group of people dancing and singing on the street or in the railway station,  you don"t need to feel surprised.They are a flash mob (快闪族), which is a group of people who come together suddenly in a public place, do something unusual for a brief period of time,  and then quickly break up.They are usually organized with the help of the Internet or other digital communication network.At a predetermined time, they gather and perform some  distractions(消遣) such as waving their hands and exchanging books, Then, they quickly break up before the police can arrive.Using mobile phones, the flash mob can change its location if the first one has been replaced for any reason.

Thanksgiving is a time to give thanks for family, health, and life in general. However, Black Friday has turned it into a business.
Traditionally, the true value of Thanksgiving lies at home not the shopping centers. However, Black Friday has nowadays allowed society to ignore this as individuals long for something that they do not need or even truly want. Shopping on Black Friday becomes a sign of a shift into a culture that values material wealth over spending time with loved ones. People are willing to force their way through the crowds in their desperate search for marked-down sweaters and necklaces.
In recent years, Thanksgiving has become a pre-Black Friday holiday for many families. They are devoted to mapping out shopping routes and making organized schedules for which stores to hit first. By drawing individuals out to shopping centers with "matchless savings", businesses encourage this behavior of ignoring Thanksgiving. Many families take their home-cooked meals while camping out at the door of shopping centers. With each new year, Thanksgiving is becoming victim to over-commercialization—switching from a meaningful time of thanks and family to a day dedicated to products and profit.
Black Friday has shown that with current common standards, people cannot even set aside a single day to appreciate what they already have without immediately buying more. Families have lost sight of what is truly important in life, and have found reasons in debating between a low cost HD television and an appreciation for what they already have. Remember, Thanksgiving should be a day in which people are grateful for all that they have.
小题1:The underlined word "this" in paragraph 2 probably refers to ______.
A.the sign of a shiftB.the material wealth
C.the shopping crowdD.the true value of Thanksgiving
小题2:In recent years, what will many families do when thanksgiving comes?
A.Make full preparations for the Black Friday shopping.
B.Visit some newly-opened shopping centers in advance.
C.Find it difficult to choose a store for their first visit.
D.Go camping at the gate of shopping center for a good deal.
小题3:In the last paragraph, the author mainly intends to tell us that we should ______.
A.set aside a single day to buy more
B.try to spend less to get low cost products
C.stay with our families as long as we can
D.appreciate what we"ve possessed with our families
小题4:What"s the author’s attitude towards the present ways people celebrate Thanksgiving?
A.Annoyed. B.Worried. C.Supportive. D.Unconcerned.
