The buttons in the lifts should be easy for a person in a wheelchair to reach, and the doors be wide enough to enter. In some cinemas, the lifts are at the back of the cinema in cold, unattractive places. As disabled people have to use the lifts, this makes them feel they are not as important as other customers.
7. Reach 够得着

【4】 3 Raised seating. People who are short cannot always see the screen.

Perhaps there could be a space at the end of each row for people in wheelchairs to sit next to their friends.
Raised seating
(被)提高/抬高的座位

【5】 4 Toilets. For disabled customers it would be more convenient to place the toilets near the entrance to the cinema. It can be difficult if the only disabled toilet is in the basement a long way from where the film is showing. And if the doors could be opened outwards, disabled customers would be very happy.

The key to… …关键
The answer to question 问题的答案

A
Every living thing has genes. Genes carry information. 36 G They make sure that humans give birth to humans and cows give birth to cows. However, genetic engineers take genes from one species — for example, a snake, and transfer them to another — for example, corn. 3 7F . Such new life forms have been described, by some scientists as a real-life Frankenstein.
Genetic engineers put duck genes into chicken to make the chickens bigger. They put hormones(激素) into cows to make them produce more milk. They put genes from flowers into beans and from fish into tomatoes. 38C It just makes them easier and faster for the farmer to grow.
The effects of genetic engineering on the natural world may be disastrous. The engineers may create strange life beings or monsters that we cannot control. 39D They’ll have to find one, fight for one, or kill for one. It may be your land they fight for, or you that they kill. Moreover, the effects of these experiments can often be cruel. In America, pigs were given human genes to make them bigger and less fatty. The experiment failed. The pigs became very ill and began to lose their eyesight.
We would all like a better, healthier and longer life, and genetic engineering might give us this. On the other hand, it may be a dangerous experiment with nature. In the story of Frankenstein, the doctor created such a terrible and dangerous monster that he had to destroy it. 40B
The information tells us what to do or what not to do.
We must make sure that this tale remains a story — and no more than that.
This doesn’t make them cheaper, tastier, or healthier.
The new life forms have no natural habitat or home.
Then they feed the tomatoes to the fish.
In this way, a new life form is created.
They are passed on from generation to generation.
B
Imagine being asked to spend twelve or so years of your life in a society that consisted only of members of your own sex, how would you react？ 36D But the fact is that segregated(隔离)schools shoot up very rapidly around the world, and so many parents choose to force such abnormal conditions on their children-conditions which they themselves wouldn’t put up with for one minute!
37G Those advocates of segregated schools argue that children from segregated schools have greater achievements academically, socially in athletic and have greater self-confidence. Further, there are many more practical advantages in segregated schools：adolescent problems can be dealt with better and more easily. 38 B It is a wonderful proof of their worth.
On the other side. those advocates of co-education point out that any discussion of this topic is bound to question the aims of education. One of the chief aims of education is equip future citizens with all they require to take their places in adult society which is made up of men and women. When segregated, boys and girls are made to feel that they are a race apart. Competition between the sexes is developed. 39 C Children from segregated schools sometimes lack healthy attitude to life that co-education encourages.
To sum up, every coin has double sides. 40 F It is about time somebody exploded that theory about segregated schools being the better place for your children.
A. You would react as if you were a puzzled parent.
B. Lastly in many countries, the most famous schools are segregated.
C. Anyone entering adult society after years of segregation can only be in for a shock.
D. Unless there was something wrong with you, you wouldn’t be too happy about it.
E. When segregated, boys and girls can focus on their study.
F. However, I believe it’s far more beneficial for boys and girls to learn and play together.
G. Many sociologists and educationalists present their views on this issue from both sides.
C
Your might think that fitness and fun can hardly ever go together. Well, that is changing with the Color Run, or a 5 km run (5k) where participants get colored dust thrown at them. Sounds crazy, right? Well, this is known to be a very fun activity in the US, and it’s getting more popular in China too.
36. __B___. This is an ancient cultural festival that came from legends (传说) that talk about good beating evil. 37. __E___. Everyone throws colored dust at each other and yells “Happy Holi!” This year Holi fell on March 24.
The color run is called the “Happiest 5k on the Planet”. The race is not timed and there are no winners or prizes. The only rule is that runners must start the race wearing white. 38. __C____.
There is a color station once every kilometer. Each color station is associated with a different color and volunteers throw colored dust at runners when they pass each color station. 39. ___A____. There’s even a color dance party at the end!
40. ___G__. Well, it is made of cornstarch that comes in your food, so it is safe and easy to clean off. But it’s best to try and keep it out of your eyes.
Do you want to join in the fun race?
A. By the end of the race, runners are covered in all the colors of the rainbow.
B. The Indian festival called Holi inspired this colorful run.
C. The point is for everyone to forget about the competition and enjoy the unique experience.
