| No one knows exactly how many disabled people there are in the world, but estimates (估计) suggest the figure is over 450 million. The number of disabled people in India alone is probably more than double the total population of Canada. In the United Kingdom, about one in ten people have some disability. Disability is not just something that happens to other people: as we get older, many of us will become less mobile, hard of hearing or have failing eyesight. Disablement can take many forms and occur at any time of life. Some people are born with disabilities. Many others become disabled as they get older. There are many progressive disabling diseases. The longer time goes on, the worse they become. Some people are disabled in accidents. Many others may have a period of disability in the form of a mental illness. All are affected by people's attitude towards them. Disabled people face many physical barriers. Next time you go shopping or to work or visit friends, imagine how you would manage if you could not get up steps, or on to buses and trains. How would you cope if you could not see where you were going or could not hear the traffic? But there are other barriers: prejudice can be even harder to break down and ignorance inevitably represents by far the greatest barrier of all. It is almost impossible for the able-bodied to fully appreciate what the severely disabled go through, so it is important to draw attention to these barriers and show that it is the individual person and their ability, not their disability, which counts. |
| 1. The first paragraph points out that . |
| A. there are many disabled people in the world B. the number of disabled people in India is the greatest C.India has much more disabled people than Canada D. it is impossible to get an exact figure of the world's disabled people |
| 2. The key word in paragraph 4 is . |
| A. disability B. ignorance C. prejudice D. barriers |
| 3. The last word of the passage "counts" most probably means " ". |
| A. is most important B. is considered C. is included D.is numbered |
| 4. It can be concluded from the passage that . |
| A. we should try our best to prevent disability B. both physical and mental barriers are hard to break down C. we must take a proper attitude towards the disabled D. the able-bodied people will never fully understand the disabled |

| More than 50 years ago the idea of disabled people doing sport was never heard of. But when the yearly Games for the disabled were started at Stoke Mandeville, England in 1948 by Sir Ludwig Guttmann, the situation began to change. Sir Ludwig Guttmann, who had been driven to England in 1939 from Nazi Germany, had been asked by the British government to set up an injuries centre at Stoke Mandeville Hospital near London. His ideas about treating injuries included sport for the disabled. In the first Cames just two teams of injured soldiers took part. The next year, 1949, five teams took part. From those beginnings, things have developed fast. Teams now come from abroad to Stoke Mandeville every year. In 1960 the first Olympics for the disabled were held in Rome, in the same place as the normal Olympic Games. Now, every four years the Olympic Games for the disabled are held, if possible, in the same place as the normal Olympic Games, although they are organized separately. In other years Games for the disabled are still held at Stoke Mandeville. In the 1984 wheelchair Olympic Cames, 1 064 wheelchair athletes (运动员) from about 40 countries took part. Unfortunately, they were held at Stoke Mandeville and not in Los Angeles, along with the other Olympics. The Cames have been a great success in helping the progress of international friendship and understanding, and in proving that being disabled does not mean you can't enjoy sport. One small source (来源 ) of disappointment for those who organize and take part in the Games, however, has been the unwillingness of the International Olympic Committee (委员会) to include disabled events at the Olympic Games for the able-bodied. Perhaps a few more years are still needed to persuade those fortunate enough not to be disabled that their disabled fellow athletes should be included. |
| 1. The first Cames for the disabled were held after Sir Ludwig Guttmann arrived in England. |
| A.40 years B. 21 years C. 10 years D. 9 years |
| 2. Besides Stoke Mandeville, surely the Games for the disabled were once held in . |
| A. New York B. London C. Rome D. Los Angeles |
| 3. This text tells us that Sir Ludwig Guttmann . |
| A. is an early organizer of the Games for the ablebodied B. is welcomed by the British government C. is an injured soldier D. is from England |
| 4. From the passage, we may know that the writer is . |
| A. one of the organizers of the Cames for the disabled B. a disabled person who once took part in the Games C. against holding the Games for the disabled . D. in favour of holding the Cames for the disabled |

| In today's world, almost everyone knows that air pollution and water pollution are harmful to people's health. However, not all know that noise is also a kind of pollution, and that is harmful to humans, too. People who work and live under noisy conditions usually become deaf. Today, however, scientists believe that 10 percent of workers in Britain are being deafened by the noise where they work. Many of the workers who print newspapers and books, and who weave cloth become deaf. Quite a few people living near airports also become deaf. Recently it was discovered that many teenagers in America could hear no better than 65-year-old people, for these young people like to listen to "pop" music and most of "pop" music is a kind of noise. Besides, noise produced by jet planes or machines will make people's life difficult and unpleasant, or even make people ill or even drive them mad. It is said that a continuous noise of over 85 decibels can cause deafness. Nowadays the governments in many countries have made laws to reduce or control noise and make it less than 85 decibels. In China, the government is trying to solve not only air and water pollution problems but also the noise pollution problem. |

| People who have lost the ability to understand or use words due to brain damage are called aphasics(失语症患者). Such patients can be extremely good at something else. From the changing expressions on speakers' faces and the tones of their voices, they can tell lies from truths. Doctors studying the human brain have given a number of examples of this amazing power of aphasics. Some have even compared this power to that of a dog with an ability to find out the drugs hidden in the baggage. Recently, scientists carried out tests to see if all that was said about aphasics was true. They studied a mixed group of people. Some were normal, others were aphasic. It was proved that the aphasics were far ahead of the normal people in recognizing false speeches-in most cases, the normal people were fooled by words, but the aphasics were not. Some years ago, Dr. Oliver Sacks wrote in his book about his experiences with aphasics. He mentioned a particular case in a hospital. Some aphasics were watching the president giving a speech on TV. Since the president had been an actor earlier, making a good speech was no problem for him. He was trying to put his feelings into every word of his speech. But his way of speaking had the opposite effect on the patients. They didn't seem to believe him. Instead, they burst into laughter. The aphasics knew that the president did not mean a word of what he was saying. He was lying! Many doctors see aphasics as people who are not completely normal because they lack the ability to understand words. However, according to Dr. Sacks, they are more gifted than normal people. Normal people may get carried away by words. Aphasics seem to understand human expressions better, though they cannot understand words. |
| 1. What is so surprising about aphasics? |
| A. They can fool other people. B. They can find out the hidden drugs. C. They can understand language better. D. They can tell whether people are lying. |
| 2. How did the scientists study aphasics? |
| A. By asking them to watch TV together. B. By organizing them into acting groups. C. By comparing them with normal people. D. By giving them chances to speak on TV. |
| 3. What do we learn from this text? |
| A. What one says reflects how one feels. B. Aphasics have richer feelings than others. C. Normal people often tell lies in their speeches. D. People poor at one thing can be good at another |

| It is very possible for a person with a disability to get a job. Depending on the type of disability a person has, there are many positions available. Of course, he must be realistic in choosing a job. If he has a physical disability, he should look for a job in which he can use his skills and abilities. Some larger companies have programs for hiring people with disabilities. It is a good idea to get into touch with them, as they are much more enthusiastic to hiring people with disabilities due to their positive past experiences. Some disability-support groups may have lists of companies that have been helpful in the past, have a history of hiring disabled people or know of some working positions that are open to disabled people. When talking with an employer about the job, one must be very honest. He should tell the employer about his disability. It is also important to know whether there are any sorts of' tools or new technology that could help a person with a disability do a job.
