Ⅳ.阅读理解
I always felt sorry for the people in wheelchairs. Some people, old and weak, cannot get around by themselves. Others seem perfectly healthy, dressed in business suits. But whenever I saw someone in a wheelchair, I only saw a disability,not a person.
Then I fainted(昏倒) at Euro Disney due to low blood pressure. This was the first time I had ever fainted, and my parents said that I must rest for a while after first aid. I agreed to take it easy, but as I stepped toward the door, I saw my dad pushing a wheelchair in my direction! Feeling the colour burn my cheeks, I asked him to wheel that thing right back to where he found it.
I could not believe this was happening to me. Wheelchairs were fine for other people but not for me. As my father wheeled me out into the main street, people immediately began to treat me differently.
Little kids ran in front of me, forcing my father to stop the wheelchair suddenly. Bitterness set in as I was thrown back and forth.
“Stupid kids! They have perfectly good legs. Why can't they watch where they are going?”I thought. People stared down at me,pity in their eyes. Then they would look away, maybe because they thought the sooner they forgot me the better.
“I'm just like you!” I wanted to scream. “The only difference is that you've got legs,and I have wheels.”
People in wheelchairs are not stupid. They see every look and hear each word. Looking out at the faces, I finally understood: I was once just like them. I treated people in wheelchairs exactly the way they did not want to be treated. I realized it is some of us with two healthy legs who are truly disabled.
1.The author once ________ when she was healthy.
A.helped disabled people
B.looked down upon disabled people
C.imagined herself sitting in a wheelchair
D.saw some healthy people moving around in wheelchairs
2.Facing the wheelchair for the first time, the author ________.
A.felt curious about it
B.got ready to move around in it right away
C.refused to accept it right away
D.threw it away
3.The experience of the author tells us that ______.
A.life is the best teacher
B.people often eat their bitter fruit
C.life is so changeable that nobody can foretell
D.one should not do to others what he would not like others to do to him
4.What is the best title for this passage
A.How to get used to wheelchairs
B.People in wheelchairs should be equally treated
C.People with two legs are truly healthy
D.The difference between healthy people and the disabled
??答案与解析:
本文为一篇夹叙夹议文。作者曾对坐轮椅的残疾人倍感同情,而当自己因为意外晕厥也坐上轮椅时,才感觉到坐轮椅的人和正常人一样,同样应受到他人的尊重。
1.解析:从第一段中的“But whenever I saw someone in a wheelchair,I only saw a disability,not a person.”可以看出不论作者什么时候看到有人坐在轮椅上,作者看到的只是残疾,而不是一个完整的人。说明作者曾经对坐在轮椅上的人有偏见。look down upon意为“看不起”。
答案:B
2.解析:从第二段中的“...I saw my dad pushing a wheelchair in my direction!Feeling the colour burn my cheeks, I asked him to wheel that thing right back to where he found it.”可以看出作者当时的心态。当作者第一次面对轮椅时,立刻拒绝使用。
答案:C
3.解析:从最后一段看出作者悟出的道理:一个人不应该做他不愿意别人对他做的事情。从“...I was once just like them.I treated people in wheelchairs exactly the way they did not want to be treated.”可知。
答案:D
4.解析:从作者一开始看不起残疾人到自己成为残疾人,亲身感受到残疾人的窘迫,可以看出人们不应该看不起残疾人。尤其是从最后一句“I realized it is some of us with two healthy legs who are truly disabled.”可得知,有些双腿健全的人,实际上在人格上是残疾的。因此,要平等对待残疾人。
答案:B
