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 (可动的) , hard of hearing or have failing eyesight.Disablement can take many forms and happen 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 disability in the form of a mental illness. All are affected by peoples attitude towards them.Disabled people face many physical barriers. Next time you go shopping or to work or visit friends, imagine what would you do if you could not get up steps, or on to buses and trains. What would you do if you could not see where you were going or could not hear the traffic? But there are other barriers: prejudice(偏见)can be even harder to break down and ignorance (无知) represents by far the greatest barrier of all. It is almost impossible for the able-bodied to fully understand what the 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.12. The key word in Paragraph 4 is _.A. ignorance B. barriers C. disability D. prejudice13. The last word of the passage “counts” most probably means _.A.

It can be concluded（推断）from the passage that _.Awe should try our best to prevent disablementBwe must take a proper attitude towards the disabledCthe able-bodied people will never fully understand the disabledDboth physical and mental barriers are hard to break down第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中的两项为多余选项。注意：请将该题答案转涂到答题卡7175对应位置，1620不再填涂。Maybe you are an average student.
