15、 that best fits each blank.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 a

16、bout handicap (殘障）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 peopl

17、e 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,

18、I can take the no-parking area next to it/5 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 w

19、alkways 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

20、parking spot, this is more likely a case of lack of education. People who (29) (inform) of the rails use would be less likely to mistake it for a bike rack(停放架).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 pe

21、ople were educated about the proper uses of accommodations, there would be (30)_(few) challenges for people with physical disabilities.Section B 10%Directions： Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box. Each word can be used only once. Note that there is one word more than you need.A

22、. glued B. guilty C. luxurious D. portrait E. proud F. reflectedG. removed H. doubts I. reveals J. shadow K. suggestCould It Be a Work by Rembrandt（倫勃朗）Rembrandt is the most famous of the seventeenth-century Dutch painters. However, there are 31 whether some paintings attributed (歸屬）to Rembrandt wer

23、e actually painted by him. One such painting is known as attributed to Rembrandt because of its style, and indeed the representation of the womans face is very much like that of portraits known to be by Rembrandt. But there are problems with the painting that_32_it could not be a work by Rembrandt.F

24、irst, there is something inconsistent （不一致） about the way the woman inthe_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 a34fur collar that no servant could afford. Rembrandt, who was known for his attention to the details of h

25、is subjects' clothing, would not have been_35_of such an inconsistency.Second, Rembrandt was a master of painting light and_36_, but in this painting these elements do not fit together. The face appears to be illuminated（照亮）by light_37_onto it from below. But below the face is the dark fur colla

26、r, 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_ togethe

27、r. Although Rembrandt often painted on wood panels (面板)s no painting known to be by Rembrandt was painted in this way.For these reasons, the painting was_40_from the official catalog of Rembrandts paintings in the 1930s.III. Reading Comprehension Section A 15%Directions： For each blank in the follow

28、ing 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.A Question of JudgmentHuman beings are, in principle, poor at considering background information when making individual decisions. At first glance, this might seem

29、like a strength that _41_ people the ability to make judgments which are independent of _42_ factors. But in a world of quotas（配額）and limits_43_, the world in which most professional people operateDr. Simonsohn reported in Psychological Science that it was actually a weakness since an inability to c

30、onsider the big picture was leading decision-makers to be biased(有偏見(jiàn)）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）

31、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, t

32、he _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 f

33、ive. 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

34、800 points, to make a decision on whether to accept him or her.Dr. Simonsohn 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. T

35、his 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. Simonsohn proposes that after accepting a number of strong candidates, interviewers might form the illogica

36、l 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 could be responsible for far worse things than the _55_ of qualified business-school candidates. 41
