The Importance of Accessibility Awareness
At a recent meeting, people with disabilities talked about their lives. I was amazed to hear
about the challenges (21) (face) by people with physical disabilities. However, (22)
amazed me most was the great importance of education about handicap (残障)facilities.
Two women who (23) ________ (use) wheelchairs all their life are two important members of
the National Group for Disabled Persons, devoted to (24) (raise)awareness about
disabilities. They educate about all the facilities for people with disabilities. One big concern is the
people who take advantage of aids, such as handicap parking spaces. So people (25)
disabilities need to be educated about these facilities. And the meeting focused on educating the
handicap spots have extra room next to them, marked with the “No Parking” signs.
“(26) I'm not in the spot, I can take the no-parking area next to it/
5
some people
say. However, the women (27) use a wheelchair disagree to this. The space exists to allow
someone in a wheelchair to have room to get in or out of their car. If there is a car in that space, the
handicap parking spot is no longer useful. Some walkways have handrails next to them to help
those who require extra assistance. (28) 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. As with the parking spot, this is more likely a
case of lack of education. People who (29) (inform) of the rail’s use would be less likely to
mistake it for a bike rack(停放架).Meeting some of the people who are affected by the lack of
education about facilities made me see that there is work to be done. If more people were educated
about the proper uses of accommodations, there would be (30)_______(few) challenges for people
with physical disabilities.

Could It Be a Work by Rembrandt(伦勃朗)
Rembrandt is the most famous of the seventeenth-century Dutch painters. However, there are
31 whether some paintings attributed (归属)to Rembrandt were actually painted by him.
One such painting is known as attributed to Rembrandt because of its style, and indeed the
representation of the woman’s face is very much like that of portraits known to be by Rembrandt.
But there are problems with the painting that___32____it could not be a work by Rembrandt.
First, there is something inconsistent (不一致) about the way the woman in
3
the___33___is dressed. She is wearing a white linen cap of a kind that only servants would
wear—-yet the coat she is wearing has a 34 fur collar that no servant could afford.
Rembrandt, who was known for his attention to the details of his subjects' clothing, would not have
been_____35_____of such an inconsistency.
Second, Rembrandt was a master of painting light and___36___, but in this painting these
elements do not fit together. The face appears to be illuminated(照亮)by light____37____onto
it from below. But below the face is the dark fur collar, which would absorb light rather than reflect
it. So the face should appear partially in shadow, which is not how it appears. Rembrandt would
never have made such an error.
Finally, examination of the back of the painting____38____that it was painted on a panel
made of several pieces of wood ___39___ together. Although Rembrandt often painted on wood
panels (面板)
s
no painting known to be by Rembrandt was painted in this way.

For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A,
B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.
A Question of Judgment
Human beings are, in principle, poor at considering background information when making
individual decisions. At first glance, this might seem like a strength that __41__ people the ability
to make judgments which are independent of __42__ factors. But in a world of quotas(配额)and
limits—__43___, the world in which most professional people operate—Dr. Simonsohn reported
in Psychological Science that it was actually a weakness since an inability to consider the big
picture was leading decision-makers to be biased(有偏见)by the daily samples they were
working with. For example, he supposed that a judge fearful of appearing too soft on crime might
be more likely to send someone to prison ___44___ he had already sentenced five or six other
defendants(被告)only to forced community service on that day.
To__45_ this idea, Dr. Simonsohn. and his assistants turned their attention to the
university-admissions process. Admissions officers interview hundreds of applicants every year, at
a rate of 4% a day, and can offer entry to about 40% of them. In theory, the ___46__ of an applicant
should not depend on the few others ___47__ randomly for interview during the same day, but Dr.
Simonsohn suspected the truth was otherwise.
He studied the results of 9,323 MBA interviews ___48___ by 31 admissions officers. The
interviewers had rated applicants on a scale of one to five. This scale ___49___ numerous factors,
including communication skills, personal drive, team-working ability and personal
accomplishments, into consideration. The scores from this rating were ___50___ used in
conjunction with an applicant's score on the GMAT, a standardized exam which is __51___ out of
800 points, to make a decision on whether to accept him or her.
Dr. Simonsohn found if the score of the previous candidate in a daily series of interviewees
was 0.75 points or more higher than that of the one _52_ that, then the score for the next applicant
would __53__ by an average of 0.075 points. This might sound small, but to reverse the effects of
such a decrease, a candidate would need 30 more GMAT points than would otherwise have been
necessary.
4
As for why people behave this way, Dr. Simonsohn proposes that after accepting a number of
strong candidates, interviewers might form the illogical expectation that a __54__ candidate “is due”.
Regardless of the reason, if this sort of thinking proves to have a similar effect on the judgments of
those in other fields, such as law and medicine, it could be responsible for far worse things than the
__55__ of qualified business-school candidates.

unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the
one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.
(A).
Roald Dahl - the author who entertained people with classics like Matilda, Charlie and the
Chocolate Factory and James and the Giant Peach - would have been 100 years old this year.
Roald Dahl is most famous for the books he wrote for children, but he also wrote novels and short
stories for adults, screenplays, and non-fiction, too!
Roald Dahl was born near Cardiff, in Wales in 1916. His parents were from Norway, and they
named him after Roald Amundsen, the famous Norwegian explorer. Roald was sent off to boarding
school when he was only nine years old. He was very homesick, and had a hard time obeying the
strict teachers and the headmaster. In those days, teachers would sometimes hit their students with a
cane (藤条)when they misbehaved. This naturally made a lot of children very afraid of their
teachers! Later on, Roald integrated this fear and distrust of adults into many of his children's
books.
During World War II, Roald joined the Royal Air Force and flew missions over Africa, the
Mediterranean, and the Middle East. At one point, his plane crashed in the Libyan Desert. He was
temporarily blinded, and stranded in the middle of nowhere with a cracked skull and a broken nose.
Fortunately, he was rescued, and within a few months had made a complete recovery. After his
injuries forced him to leave the Air Force, Roald began writing. His first published piece was a
magazine article about his plane crash. During the 1950s, he became an accomplished writer of
short stories for adults. These stories usually featured mystery, suspense, and a twist ending.
In 1961, Roald published James and the Giant Peach, which tells the story of a young boy
5
who attempts to escape from his two nasty, abusive aunts. The boy finally gets away by sailing
across the ocean inside a magical. giant peach and befriends the giant bugs that live inside it. James
and the Giant Peach was prompted by the bedtime stories Roald would make up for his young
daughters. He said that it was a challenge to keep them interested and attentive--- he had to make
his stories funny, exciting, and original. In 1964, he wrote his most famous book--- Charlie and the
Chocolate Factory, in which a poor boy wins a “golden ticket” to tour a mysterious world.
