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 public.
Some 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

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)

Section A 15%
Directions
:
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.
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.
