本文是一篇記敘文。全文講述了作者通過參加一次小組活動(dòng)來了解殘疾人所面臨的問題的經(jīng)歷。作者和其他人都暫時(shí)“接受殘疾”，把自己“扮”成殘疾人，而作者選擇了坐輪椅的方式。由于是第一次坐輪椅，作者不知道該把腳放到哪里，以及怎樣使輪椅轉(zhuǎn)起來。通過這次經(jīng)歷作者體驗(yàn)了殘疾人每天在生活中所面臨的種種挑戰(zhàn)。
小題1:解析：選B。結(jié)合空格前sensitivity的含義“感受，敏感”以及常識(shí)可推斷，這個(gè)活動(dòng)的目的是讓人們對(duì)于殘疾人在生活中所面臨的問題有更多的了解。從本文結(jié)尾作者的感受中也可判斷出應(yīng)選擇B項(xiàng)。
小題2:解析：選B。下文中For disabled people，“adopting a wheelchair”is not a temporary(臨時(shí)的)．..提到了adopt這個(gè)詞，指的是讓人們采用乘坐輪椅的方式了解殘疾人，這是一種暗示；此處指的是被要求“接受殘疾”幾個(gè)小時(shí)以了解殘疾人，因此選B。cure表示“治愈”；prevent表示“阻止”；analyze 表示“分析”。
小題3:解析：選D。作者以自己作為例子，下文中也主要是以作者本人的體驗(yàn)來展開的，所以選like me“像我這樣的”。
小題4:解析：選A。根據(jù)下文的I had never considered before how __40__it would be to use one.可知，作者從來沒有考慮過怎樣使用輪椅，所以這是一個(gè)學(xué)習(xí)的過程，故選learning。
小題5:解析：選B。既然作者沒使用過輪椅，同時(shí)結(jié)合下文也可看出作者使用起輪椅比較笨拙，不知道該怎樣弄才好，因此選B。
小題6:解析：選D。結(jié)合前面的As soon as I sat down...以及后面的made the chair begin to roll的暗示和常識(shí)可知，當(dāng)作者坐下后，應(yīng)該是作者的體重使得輪椅開始動(dòng)起來。
小題7:解析：選A。作者一坐下輪椅就開始動(dòng)起來，表明這個(gè)輪子沒有被鎖住。
小題8:解析：選B。聯(lián)系下文It took me quite a while to get the metal footrest...中的footrest可知，這里指作者不知道該把腳放到哪里。
小題9:解析：選A。聯(lián)系上句的內(nèi)容可知，作者費(fèi)了半天勁，終于把footrest放到了恰當(dāng)?shù)奈恢�，上文的where對(duì)此處的place也是一種提示。
小題10:解析：選C。這里表示作者第一次不安地看了看將要在上面度過幾個(gè)小時(shí)的唯一的交通工具(transportation)。
小題11:解析：選C。聯(lián)系本文最后一段的My wheelchair experiment was soon...可知，作者進(jìn)行的只是一次坐輪椅的體驗(yàn)。此處表示：對(duì)那些終生在輪椅上的人們來說，卻并非是一次臨時(shí)性的體驗(yàn)。
小題12:解析：選D。聯(lián)系后面的thought it might be restful 中的restful可知，作者經(jīng)過一番周折想在輪椅上找一個(gè)比較舒適的位置來坐得放松些。
小題13:解析：選D。restful和nice是一種遞進(jìn)的關(guān)系，故選even，表示程度，意為“甚至”。
小題14:解析：選B。聯(lián)系下文的I would have to handle the thing myself！可知，作者原以為有人會(huì)推著自己的輪椅到處轉(zhuǎn)轉(zhuǎn)。
小題15:解析：選A。聯(lián)系前面的Looking around“環(huán)顧四周”，作者終于明白了I would have to handle the thing myself，即作者明白了得自己來推動(dòng)輪椅，而不是有人推著他。
小題16:解析：選B。結(jié)合前面的My hands started to ache和后面的the heavy metal wheels 可知，當(dāng)作者轉(zhuǎn)動(dòng)輪子讓輪椅移動(dòng)的時(shí)候，因?yàn)橘M(fèi)力，所以手都疼了。turn在這里表示“轉(zhuǎn)動(dòng)”。
小題17:解析：選C。轉(zhuǎn)動(dòng)輪椅的輪子后，下一步就是把握輪椅的方向。
小題18:解析：選A。對(duì)于一個(gè)“新人”來說，控制輪椅的方向不是一項(xiàng)容易的任務(wù)。
小題19:解析：選D。前文已經(jīng)提到了for several hours one Sunday，聯(lián)系下文的It made a deep impression on me.可知，作者的這次體驗(yàn)很快就結(jié)束了。
小題20:解析：選C。幾個(gè)小時(shí)的殘疾體驗(yàn)，對(duì)于作者無論在生理上還是心理上都是一種挑戰(zhàn)，而這種挑戰(zhàn)是殘疾人必須克服的，故答案為C項(xiàng)。

(2013·高考四川卷，B)On a sunny day last August，Tim heard some shouting.Looking out to the sea carefully，he saw a couple of kids in a rowboat were being pulled out to sea.
Two 12­year­old boys，Christian and Jack，rowed out a boat to search for a football.Once they’d rowed beyond the calm waters，a beach umbrella tied to the boat caught the wind and pulled the boat into open water.The pair panicked and tried to row back to shore.But they were no match for it and the boat was out of control.
Tim knew it would soon be swallowed by the waves.
“Everything went quiet in my head，”Tim recalls(回憶)．“I was trying to figure out how to swim to the boys in a straight line.”
Tim took off his clothes and jumped into the water.Every 500 yards or so，he raised his head to judge his progress.“At one point，I considered turning back，” he says.“I wondered if I was putting my life at risk.”After 30 minutes of struggling，he was close enough to yell to the boys，“Take down the umbrella！”
Christian made much effort to take down the umbrella.Then Tim was able to catch up and climb aboard the boat.He took over rowing，but the waves were almost too strong for him.
“Let’s aim for the pier(碼頭)，”Jack said.Tim turned the boat toward it.Soon afterward，waves crashed over the boat，and it began to sink.“Can you guys swim？”he cried.“A little bit，”the boys said.
Once they were in the water，Tim decided it would be safer and faster for him to pull the boys toward the pier.Christian and Jack were wearing life jackets and floated on their backs.Tim swam toward land as water washed over the boys’faces.
“Are we almost there？”they asked again and again.“Yes，”Tim told them each time.
After 30 minutes，they reached the pier.
小題1:Why did the two boys go to the sea?
A．To go boat rowing.
B．To get back their football.
C．To swim in the open water.
D．To test the umbrella as a sail.
小題2:What does “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to?

C．The boat. D．The wind.
小題3:Why did Tim raise his head regularly?
A．To take in enough fresh air.
B．To consider turning back or not.
C．To check his distance from the boys.
D．To ask the boys to take down the umbrella.
小題4:How did the two boys finally reach the pier?

We chat with our colleagues all the time when we have lunch, gossip in the tearoom, or leave work together. Sharing your personal life brings you closer to your coworkers and builds trust within your team. But revealing too much about yourself to colleagues, managers or human resources staff can cause difficulties and even endanger your work.
It's important to keep the right balance between getting along with colleagues and maintaining your privacy. “Communication in the office is tricky and complicated. You can neither spread chatter, nor be too silent and shut yourself off from others，” said Yang Yudan, deputy HR director at P&G.
According to her, there are several safe topics to talk about with colleagues during the break, such as the weather or movies. Women like to talk about makeup and clothing, while men are fond of sports and online games. But discussing your private life, such as relationship, habits or health conditions, is a potential minefield.
Liang Kun, 26, had to resign from his job at a trading company in Guangzhou last week after discussing his income with colleagues during a lunch break. “I didn't realize it was such a serious issue until a senior member of staff went to find the boss, asking why I got a higher salary than her，” said Liang. “Then our HR told me that according to the employee handbook it is forbidden to talk about salary in the office.” HR expert Yang also reminds us that paychecks are your own business. It is unwise to share this information with others, no matter how close you are.
To summarize, Yang advises office workers to be more aware of the image they project when talking to colleagues, “When you share your personal life, it will be recorded on your invisible resume and may slow down your career progressing.”
小題1:The author quoted Yang Yudan in the text to ________.
A．show his admiration for her
B．make an argument with her
C．support his own viewpoint
D．build up his fame
小題2:What can be inferred from the fact that Liang Kun had to resign his job according to the text?
A．It was unwise for him to share information with others.
B．He broke the rules made by the company.
C．He was such an honest person that he told the truth.
D．He treated his colleagues as family members.
小題3:What is the author's purpose in writing the text?
A．To draw people's attention to their behaviors in public.
B．To advise office workers to be aware of the image they project.
C．To make you believe that communication in the office is complicated.
D．To warn you to be careful of invisible trouble while talking about your privacy to colleagues.
小題4:Which would be the best title for the text?
A．At Work, Keep It to Yourself
B．Keep the Right Balance
C．Share Your Personal Life with Others
D．Safe Topics to Talk about

When a rare disease ALD threatened to kill the four-year-old boy Lorenzo, his parents refused to give up hope. Doctors explained that there was no cure for ALD, and that he would probably die within three years. But Lorenzo’s parents set out to prove the doctors wrong.
The parents devoted themselves to keeping their son alive and searching for a cure. But doctors and the families of other ALD patients often refused to take them seriously. They thought the efforts to find a cure were a waste of time, and drug companies weren’t interested in supporting research into such a rare disease.
However, the parents still refused to give up and spent every available hour in medical libraries and talking to anyone who would help. Through trial and error, they finally created a cure from ingredients (調(diào)料) commonly found in the kitchen. The cure, named "Lorenzo’s Oil", saved the boy’s life. Despite the good results, scientists and doctors remained unconvinced. They said there was no real evidence that the oil worked and that the treatment was just a theory. As a result, some families with ALD children were reluctant to try it.
Finally, the boy’s father organized an international study to test the oil. After ten years of trials, the answer is: the oil keeps ALD children healthy.
小題1:Doctors said that Lorenzo might die within three years because_____ .

A．the research for the new cure would cost too much money

小題3: Scientists and doctors believed that Lorenzo’s Oil_____.
A．was really effectiveB．was a success story
C．only worked in theoryD．would save the boy’s life
小題4: From the passage we can conclude that_____.

D．the oil really works as a cure for ALD
