people there are in the world.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, hard of hearing or have failing eyesight.disablement can take many forms and occur 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 a period of 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 how you would manage if you could not get up steps, or on to buses and trains. how would you cope if you could not see where you were going or could not hear the traffic? but there are other barriers: prejudice can be even harder to break down and ignorance inevitably represents by far the greatest barrier of all. it is almost impossible for the able-bodied to fully appreciate what the severely 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 that count.1.the first paragraph points out that_.a. the number of disabled people in india is the greatestb. india has much more disabled people than

passengers a life-flashing 418 feet. ferrari worlds formula rossa, the fastest, takes riders breath away at speeds of up to150 mph. brc imagination arts, a southern california design firm, has proposed something entirely new: a ride that creates the sensation of zero gravity for up to eight seconds at a time.brc drew its concept from the vomit comet, the plane nasa uses to train astronauts. its proposed theme-park ride would travel up and then back, similar to the existing superman: escape from krypton coaster at six flags magic mountain in california. but unlike superman and other open-car coasters, the vomit-comet ride would be fully enclosed. riders would enjoy the illusion of floating within a stable chamber.to create that illusion, a special motor system would speed coasters up the track with great precision（精确度）. as the coaster approached a top speed of more than 100 mph, it would suddenly and ever so slightly slow downjust enough to throw the passengers up from their seats and then quickly adjust its speed to fly in formation with and around the passengers. as the coaster reached the top of the track and began to drop back down, the computer system would continue to match its speed to that of the falling passengers, extending the sensation of weightlessness for several additional seconds, and finally rapidly slow down to a stop back at the base station.roller coasters typically cost no more than $30 million, but the zero-gravity ride would cost $50 million or more, to a large extent because the precision-response propulsion system（推进系统） is so complex. but if someone were to write a check today, rogers says, his company could be sending riders on weightless journeys by the end of 2014.1. what makes brcs coaster different?a. its the tallest roller coaster in the states.b. its the fastest roller coaster on earth.c. it can bring a sensation of zero gravity to its riders.d. it is a nasa product.2. why would people in brcs coaster have an illusion of floating in the chamber?a. because its designed with the inspiration of superman.b. because a special functioning motor system is applied to it.c. because the coaster can approach a top speed of more than 100 mph.d. because the coaster would cost $20 million more than normal ones.3. at what point could a rider begin to feel weightless?a. when the coaster reduced its speed immediately after it reached its top speed.b. when the coaster began to increase its speed.c. when the coaster reduced its speed to a stop back at the base station.d. when the coaster reached the top of the track.4. what can we infer from the passage?a. brc is a famous design firm.b. you feel like a superman when riding brc coaster.c. brcs budget cant make the project complete until 2014.d. kingda ka and ferrari worlds formula rossa will close down soon.【参考答案】14、cbac阅读理解。阅读下列短文, 从给的四个选项 (a、b、c和d) 中, 选出最佳选项。according to historical documents, the forefathers of the naxi people were closely

population is in growth at this rate , there will not be enough resources. by the middle of the 21st century, if present trends continue, we will have used up all the oil that drives our cars, for example. even if scientists develop new ways of feeding the human race, the crowded conditions on the earth will make it necessary for us to look for open space somewhere else. but none of the other planets in our solar system are capable of supporting life at present. one possible solution to the problem, however, has recently been suggested by american scientist, professor carl sagan.sagan believes that before the earths resources are completely exhausted it will be possible to change the atmosphere of venus and so create a new world almost as large as the earth itself. the difficult is that venus is much hotter than the earth and there is only a tiny amount of water there.sagan proposes that algae organisms(海藻有机体) that can live in extremely hot or cold atmospheres and at the same time produce oxygen, should be bred
