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,‖ 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(停车架). 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 第 3 页 共 3 页
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 know to be by Rembrandt. But there are problems with 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 paining these elements do not fit together. The face appears to be illuminated(照亮) 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), no painting known to by Rembrandt was painted in this way.
For these reasons, the painting was __40__ from the official catalog of Rembrandt’s paintings in the 1930s.
III. Reading Comprehension
第 4 页 共 4 页
Section A
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.
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 Simonsoph 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 Simonsoph 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 would be responsible for far worse things than the ___55___ of qualified business-school candidates.
41 A. grantsB. equipsC. deniesD. delivers
42. A. minorB. external C. crucialD. objective

Section B
Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or 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 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 Dalh was born near Cardiff, in Wales in 1916. His parents were from Norway, and they named him after Roald Amundsen, the famous Norwegian explorer. Ronald 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 teachers! Later on, Ronald integrated this fear and distrust of adults into many of his children’s books.
During World War II, Ronald 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 第 6 页 共 6 页
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 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 promoted 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.

A. He was a pilot, and his first publication was about a plane crash.

D. He worked in a military factory, and his first publication was about factory life.
57. Many of Roald Dahl’s children’s stories were inspired by _________ .
A. a vacation he took with his grandparents
B. his relationship with his parents
C. his time in the military
D. his time away at boarding school

France，which prides itself as the global innovator of fashion, has decided its fashion industry has lost an absolute right to define physical beauty for women. Its lawmakers gave 第 8 页 共 8 页
preliminary approval last week to a law that would make it a crime to employ ultra-thin models on runways. The parliament also agreed to ban websites that ―incite excessive thinness‖ by promoting extreme dieting.
Such measures have a couple of uplifting motives. They suggest beauty should not be defined by looks that end up impinging on health. That’s a start. And the ban on ultra-thin models seems to go beyond protecting models from starving themselves to death –as some have done. It tells the fashion industry that it must take responsibility for the signal it sends women, especially teenage girls, about the social tape-measure they must use to determine their individual worth. The bans, if fully enforced, would suggest to women (and many men) that they should not let others be arbiters of their beauty. And perhaps faintly, they hint that people should look to intangible qualities like character and intellect rather than dieting their way to size zero or wasp-waist physiques.
The French measures, however, rely too much on severe punishment to change a culture that still regards beauty as skin-deep-and bone-showing. Under the law, using a fashion model that does not meet a government-defined index of body mass could result in a $85,000 fine and six months in prison.
The fashion industry knows it has an inherent problem in focusing on material adornment and idealized body types. In Denmark, the United States, and a few other countries, it is trying to set voluntary standards for models and fashion images that rely more on peer pressure for enforcement.
In contrast to France’s actions, Denmark’s fashion industry agreed last month on rules and sanctions regarding the age, health, and other characteristics of models. The newly revised Danish Fashion Ethical Charter clearly states:‖We are aware of and take responsibility for the impact the fashion industry has on body ideals, especially on young people‖. The charter’s main tool of enforcement is to deny access for designers and modeling agencies to Copenhagen Fashion Week (CFW), which is run by the Danish Fashion Institute. But in general it relies on a name-and -shame method of compliance.
Relying on ethical persuasion rather than law to address the misuse of body ideals may be the best step. Even better would be to help elevate notions of beauty beyond the material standards of a particular industry.
63. According to the first paragraph，what would happen in France?
A. Physical beauty would be redefined.
B. New catwalks would be constructed.
C. Websites about dieting would boom.
D. The fashion industry would decline.
64. The phrase ―impinging on‖(Line 2，Para.2) is closest in meaning to
A. increasing the value of
B. indicating the state of
C. losing faith in
D. doing harm to
65. Which of the following is true of the fashion industry?
A. The French measures have already failed.
B. New standards are being set in Denmark.
C. Models are no longer under peer pressure.
第 9 页 共 9 页
D. Its inherent problems are getting worse.
66. Which of the following may be the best title of the text?
A. Just Another Struggle for Beauty
B. A Prospect for the Starving models in France
C. A Challenge to the Fashion Industry’s Body Ideals
D. Threats to the Fashion Industry
Section C
Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given m the box.
In 2009, the number of hungry people in the world reached one billion for the first time. It is difficult not to be shocked by the fact that more than one in seven people on the planet do not have enough to eat. 67 _______. Hunger kills more people per year than diseases such as AIDS, malaria (疟疾) and TB(肺结核) combined.
The UN estimates that almost two thirds of the world’s hungry people are in Asia., which is of course the world’s most populous continent. 68 _______.Although this region has a much lower population than Asia, it has the highest percentage of hungry people. Almost all of the rest are in Latin America, North Africa and the Caribbean. In the richest regions of the world there are only a tiny number of people who don’t have enough to eat.
69 _______. They include wars, droughts, floods and the overuse of farming land. All these factors affect food production. Many people also blame greedy businessmen for pushing up the prices of basic foods in the global market.But the most important reason, quite simple, is poverty — which has increased recently due to the economic effects of the financial crisis of 2008.
Although many people make the obvious point that there would be less hunger if the global population were smaller, few people would argue that there is not enough food to go around. The basic problem seems to be not a lack of food, but its distribution. In the last 50 years, global food production has risen even more quickly than the global population and there are areas of the world in which people generally have more than enough food. 70 _______.The answer to world hunger, therefore, may be a balanced food distribution around the whole world. Everyone will have enough to eat, but not overeat.

Teaching In ―One of the Least Popular Jobs In the UK‖
The UK government has just published a report on the future of secondary-school teaching, and the conclusion of the report is that many secondary schools now face great difficulties in finding people who want to be teachers. Since the 1980s, the number of graduates who say they would ―seriously consider‖ teaching as a career has fallen sharply, from 64% in 1982 to just 17% today. The report suggests that urgent action needs to be taken in order to encourage more intelligent young graduates into teaching.
The main drawback of secondary teaching, according to the report, is the low salary. Earnings in teaching are much lower than in many other jobs, and this means that fewer and fewer young people decide to be teachers. Joanne Manners, 24, is a good example. ― I graduated in maths last year, and I was thinking of doing a teacher training course to become a maths teacher—but I saw I could earn twice as much if I worked in marketing or advertising, and so I decided not to become a teacher.‖
It’s not just about the money, however. The survey concluded that another reason why people don’t want to be teachers is that some teenagers behave very badly in school. A lot of schools have problems with discipline, and it seems clear that children do not have the same respect for teachers as in the past. Here’s the view of Dave Hallam, an accountant from London:‖ I think parents are to blame. They should have stricter rules with their children at home and also teach their children to have more respect for teachers.‖
The report is clear that the problem of teacher shortage is a very serious one. It says that the government should raise teachers’ pay significantly, to catch up with workers in other professions. It also suggests that the government could launch a nationwide publicity campaign, with some advertisements on TV and in the newspapers, to show the positive sides of teaching to young people.

Summary:
范文1：
Secondary schools in UK experienced difficulties recruiting young teachers. The reasons are low salary and kid’s bad behavior, which push talents to business occupations with twice income. Therefore, poorly behaved students need to obey stricter rules and parents need to discipline them at home. Also, government should increase teachers’ income and promote a teaching campaign to display teaching’s bright side.
范文2：
It’s reported that many secondary schools in UK have trouble enrolling young teachers due to low salary and the bad behavior of the youth in school. To change the situation, parents should be strict with the kids to back teachers up and the government are encouraged to improve teachers’ income and publicize the positive image of teaching.
范文3：
The report from UK government shows that the difficulty of finding new teachers is increasing and it proposes immediate measures to attract young graduates.
The reasons for teacher shortage include: low salary and students’ lack of discipline in school.
The problem is serious, so the government needs to improve teachers’ salary greatly and initiate a nationwide publicity campaign.

Dear Present
I’m writing to express some of my opinions towards our school’s broadcast which intends to change one of the programs from science technology, interest hobby and literature art and select one of them from travelling, environmental protection, fitness.
From my perspective, I would choose ―interest hobby‖ to be the one to be eliminated. Not only is this topic out of date, but also students’ interest varies a lot. Therefore, they may be indifferent about others’ interest and hobbies.
As for the column to be added, I highly recommend is fitness. As senior high students, so busy are we with our study that we often forget to do some physical exercise and even don’t know how to keep fit to avoid getting ill. If the school broadcast can provide us some useful advice on how to keep fit in a good way, which will benefit us a lot and as a result I believe that it will be more popular among students.
I’d appreciate it very much if you could follow my advice, and I’m looking forward to hear from you as soon as possible.
Best wishes!
