20、on. It is estimated that over 35 million Americans have physical, mental, or other disabilities. About half of these disabilities are “developmental, i.e., they occur prior to the individuals twenty-second birthday, often from genetic conditions, and are severe enough to affect three or more areas o

21、f development, such as mobility, communication, employment, etc. Most other disabilities are considered “adventitious, i.e., accidental or caused by outside forces.Prior to the 20th century, only a small percentage of people with disabilities survived for long. Medical treatment for these disabiliti

22、es was unavailable. Advancements in medicine and social services have created a climate in which people with disabilities can expect to have such basic needs as food, shelter, and medical treatment. Unfortunately, these basics are often not available. Civil liberties such as the right to vote, marry

23、, get an education, and gain employment have historically been denied on the basis of disability.In recent decades, the disability rights movement has been organized to fight against these infringements of civil rights. Congress responded by passing major legislation recognizing people with disabili

24、ties as a protected class under civil rights statutes.Still today, people with disabilities must fight to live their lives independently. It is estimated that more than half of qualified Americans with disabilities are unemployed, and a majority of those who do work are underemployed. About two-thir

25、ds live at or below the official poverty level.Significant barriers, especially in transportation and public awareness, prevent disabled people from taking part in society. For example, while no longer prohibited by law from marrying, a person with no access to transportation is effectively excluded

26、 from community and social activities which might lead to the development of long-term relationships.It will only be when public attitudes advance as far as laws have that disabled people will be fully able to take their rightful place in society.46.A “developmental disability _.A.develops very slow

27、ly over timeB.is caused forcesC.occurs in youth and affects developmentD.is getting more and more severe47.Most disabled people used to die early because _.A.disabilities destroyed major bodily functionsB.they were not very well looked afterC.medical techniques were not availableD.they were too poor

28、 to get proper treatment48.In the authors opinion, to enable the disabled people to take their rightful place in society _.A.more laws should be passedB.public attitudes should be changedC.government should provide more aidsD.more public facilities should be set up49.Which of the following cannot be

29、 inferred from the passage?A.Many disabled people may remain single for their whole life.B.The public tends to look down upon the disabled people.C.The disabled people feel inferior to those surrounding them.D.Discriminatory laws prevent the disabled from mixing with others.50.The best title for thi

30、s passage might be _.A.Handicaps of People with DisabilitiesB.The difficulties of the DisabledC.The Causes for DisabilitiesD.Medical Treatments for DisabilitiesWithin fifteen yearsand other nations should be well on with the building of huge industrial complexes for the recycling of waste. The word

31、rubbish could lose its meaning because everything which goes into the dustbin would be made into something useful. Even the most dangerous and unpleasant wastes would provide energy if nothing else.The new concept of recycling waste is taking shape at the British technological laboratory atWarren Sp

32、ring, not far from the north of. Today, the laboratory spends four times as much money in studying recycling as it did five years ago.The latest project is to take a city of around half a million inhabitants and discover exactly what raw materials go into it and what go out. The aim is to find out h

33、ow much of these raw materials could be provided if a plant for recycling waste were built just outside the city. This plant would recycle not only metal such as steel, lead and copper, but also paper and rubber as well. Methods have been discovered, for example, for removing the ink from newsprint

34、so that the paper can be used again, and for obtaining valuable oils and gases from old motor car types. All these ideas are already being made use of, but what is new is the idea of combining them on such a large scale in a single plant designed to recycle most types of waste.Another new project is

35、 being set up to discover the best ways of sorting and separating the rubbish. When this project is complete, the rubbish will be processed like this: first, it will pass through sharp metal spikes which will tear open the plastic bags in which rubbish is usually packed; then it will pass through a

36、powerful fan to separate the lightest elements from the heavy solids; after that crushers and rollers will break up everything that can be broken finally, and the rubbish will pass under magnets, which will remove the bits of iron and steel; finely the rubber and plastic will then be sorted out in t

37、he final stage.The first full-scale giant recycling plants are, perhaps, fifteen years away. But in some big industrial areas, where rubbish has been dumped for so long that there are no holes left to fill up with rubbish, these new automatic recycling plants may be built sooner. Indeed, with the gr

38、owing cost of transporting rubbish to more distant dumps, some big cities will be forced to build their own recycling plants before long.51.Projects for recycling waste in_.A.will not be started for at least fifteen yearsB.are being developed all overC.have not yet been fully testedD.have been aband

39、oned because they are too expensive52.The purpose of the latest recycling project is _.A.to prevent people from putting rubbish into holesB.to find a way of destroying all kinds of wasteC.to extract useful raw materials from the wasteD.to find out how much raw materials should be provided of people

40、want to recycle the waste53.The new type of recycling plant will _.A.recycle only paper and rubberB.not recycle metals, paper or rubberC.recycle paper, rubber and metalsD.not recycle steel, lead or copper54.The first recycling plants _.A.have already been built in large industrial areasB.will not be

41、 built for at least fifteen yearsC.will probably be built in the next fifteen yearsD.will be too expensive to build near big cities.55.“Well on with in the first paragraph probably means _.A.finished withB.nearing completionC.getting ready to startD.making improvements onHow do you send a message to

42、 a submerged submarine, particularly one carrying mi Water may not look like a barrier to communications, but appearances are deceiving. Water strongly absorbs all electromagnetic waves except blue green light and extremely low frequency radio waves. Thevery low frequency waves now used to contract

43、submarines penetrates only a short distance into the ocean, so the craft must either surface or send up and antenna (天线) to receive messages, thereby increasing its weakness. A laser system - accurate over long distances and capable of carrying more data than the very low frequency waves - would tal

44、k to submarine at their normal depths.In the system, a very broad beam spreading out freely in all directions would be scanned (扫描) over thousands of square miles of ocean so that it wouldnt endanger boats, birds or fishor the submarines it is supposed to reach.Since only a small fraction of the las

45、er system will make its way through the air and ocean, receivers mounted on the submarines must be able not only to detect the laser but also to discriminate between it and sunlight. So, military scientists are now working hard on special filter that allow through only the precise wavelengths emitte

46、d by the laser. The filtered light, when transformed into electrical signal, can then be decoded. Military planners are confident that laser communication with submarines is feasible.56.Which of the following does the passage mainly discuss?A.Missiles carried by submerged submarines.B.Messages sent

47、by submerged submarines.C.Blue-green lasers used by submerged submarines.D.The way to send a message to submerged submarines.57.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A.Water is a barrier to radio communication.B.Lasers have found wide application in submarine communication.C.Water

48、absorbs all kinds of electromagnetic waves.D.Very low frequency radio waves cannot be used to contact submarines.58.Which of the following is NOT true of a laser system?A.It is able to make its way through water.B.It is able to communicate with submarines at work.C.Its beam reaches a submerged subma

49、rine with the help of an antenna.D.It is able to carry more data than low frequency waves.59.The reference word “it” (Sentence 1, para.3) refers to _.A.the airB.the laser beamC.the oceanD.the submarine60.Who would be very much interested in the passage?A.Missile buildersB.Military scientistsC.Fisher

50、menD.Ship builderResearchers who are unfamiliar with the cultural and ethnic groups they are studying must take extra precautions to shed any biases they bring with them from their own culture. For example, they must make sure they construct measures that are meaningful for each of the cultural or e

51、thnic minority groups being studied.In conducting research on culture and ethnic minority issues, investigators distinguish between the emic approach and the etic approach. In the emic approach, the goal is to describe behavior in one culture or ethnic group in terms that are meaningful and wit to t

52、he People in that culture or ethnic group, without regard to other cultures or ethnic groups. In the etic approach, the goal is to describe behavior so that generalizations can be made across cultures. If researchers construct a questionnaire in an emic fashion, their concern is only that the questi

53、ons are meaningful to the particular culture or ethnic group being studied. If, however, the researchers construct a questionnaire in an etic fashion, they want to include questions that reflect concepts familiar to all cultures involved.How might the emic and etic approaches be reflected in the stu

54、dy of family processes? In the emic approach, the researchers might choose to focus only on middle-class White families, without regardfor whether the information obtained in the study can be generalized or is appropriate for ethic minority groups. In a subsequent study the researchers may decide to

55、 adopt an etic approach by studying not only middle-class, White families, but also lower-income White families, Black American families, Spanish American families, and Asian American families. In studying in ethic minority families, the researchers would likely discover that the extended family is

56、more frequently a support system in ethnic minority families than in White American families. If so, the emic approach would reveal a different pattern of family interaction than would the etic approach, documenting that research with middle-class White families cannot always be generalized to all ethnic groups.61.According to the first paragraph, researchers unfamiliar with the target cultures
