Question

【題目】 An 11-year-old blind girl is proud of walking alone every day to and from school. Why? She has to walk past so many barriers (障礙物) in her way. The girl's home is near the school, yet her mother follows her without letting her know.

The case of the girl shows the barrier-free facilities (設施) are not enough in her city. Many other cities are short of barrier-free facilities as well. There's no well-designed path for the blind. In fact, in the early 2000s, some cities started to build barrier-free facilities for disabled people. However, almost 20 years later, only a few large cities have had facilities of high quality.

It's common that sidewalks are taken up with barriers. Few workers are sent to move them away, so it's dangerous for the blind to walk on them. Also, some other barrier-free facilities are badly destroyed（毀壞）. Only a few workers are assigned (分配) to do the task of repairing the broken ones.

Some ideas can make a difference-build more barrier-free facilities and employ more workers to protect them –but hard to be put into practice, because both of them require money. In a word, more money is needed to carry on with the work. It’s our duty to make life easy for disabled people, so that they can live without barriers some day.

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】secret

【2】Problems

【3】neither

【4】except

【5】easy

【解析】

這篇短文給們講述的是現(xiàn)在很多城市都缺乏無障礙設施，如沒有為盲人專門設計的道路。有些城市修建了無障礙設施，但這些設施可能都被毀壞了，沒有及時的修理。作者認為應該建造更多的無障礙設施，雇傭更多的工人來維護他們，因為讓殘疾人生活得更輕松是我們的責任，希望他們有一天能毫無障礙地生活。

【1】根據(jù)短文第一段最后一句話The girl's home is near the school, yet her mother follows her without letting her know.可知，這個盲人女孩能順利的上學、放學，其實是她的媽媽一路上跟著她，沒有讓她知道，即保守秘密，故這里填secret，“秘密”。

【2】根據(jù)表格中對應的內(nèi)容以及文章的結構可知，短文第二段和第三段中，作者主要介紹了無障礙設施的一些問題，這個空應該填概括這部分內(nèi)容的一個單詞，故應該是Problems。

【3】根據(jù)短文第二段The case of the girl shows the barrier-free facilities (設施) are not enough in her city.以及短文第三段It's common that sidewalks are taken up with barriers. Few workers are sent to move them away, so it's dangerous for the blind to walk on them可知，無障礙設施的問題有“這些設施不夠，還有就是維護這些設施的工人也很少”。結合題目可知，這里應填neither，意為“也不”，neither are the workers是一個倒裝結構。

【4】根據(jù)短文第二段Many other cities are short of barrier-free facilities as well…. However, almost 20 years later, only a few large cities have had facilities of high quality.可知，除了一些大城市有高質量的無障礙設施之外，很多城市都缺乏這些設施。由文意可知，這里應填except，意為“除了”。

【5】根據(jù)短文最后一段It’s our duty to make life easy for disabled people, so that they can live without barriers some day.可知，我們有責任讓殘疾人的生活像普通人一樣的輕松。由此可知這里應填easy，輕松的，容易的。
