Have you been asked for money by some disabled beggars(乞丐) while you’re enjoying

shopping? Do you have any pity on them who are so poor and lonely or do you just feel afraid of

their terrible shapes? As one of the special groups, disabled people’s living conditions—not only

their material(物质的) conditions, but also their mental(精神的) world—really need improvement.

The treatment for disabled people should go like this: First, don’t look down upon them. Don’t

be afraid of looking at the terrible shapes of the disabled. Try to treat them equally. Because they are

part of the society, we can’t discard(抛弃) them. The second is to help them as much as we could. If

you can be a volunteer and do some work for the disabled people, that would be very nice. That does

help not only to the disabled people but also to yourself because you will feel good after your kind

action.

If every one of us gives a little love, the world will become a beautiful wonderland!

任务型阅读

Welcome to Guide Dogs Training Center, boys and girls! First let me tell you something about

guide dogs. In 1918 a doctor and his pet dog walked with a soldier(士兵) who was blind. The doctor

went in the hospital for a short time. When he came out, he saw his pet dog had guided the soldier to

the other side of the hospital yard safely. So he taught a dog to guide a person and it worked out well.

Germany helped start a program to teach dogs to be guides.

Dorothy, an American woman, went to Germany to find out about the guide dogs. When she

came back to the United States, she wrote it for a magazine. Soon more people knew of the guide

dogs.

The best dogs for the job are clever and fit. It takes more than two years to train a little dog to be

a guide dog. When the dog is 14 months old, it learns many instructions. Then the owner and the dog

meet, and they practice for four weeks.

Have I made myself clear? OK, let’s go on visiting.

1. What kind of people do guide dogs help?

do something good not

only for the people living

分析：本句是一个含有if引导的条件状语从句的复合句。you will do

Spring Festival是该句的主句，If you join us是该句的条件状语从句。该句的主句中含有由not

only ... but also ...连接的两个并列成分；who will

visit the area over the

next few weeks for the

Spring Festival是定语从句，修饰先行词the

thousands of people。句意：如果你加入我们，你不仅能为居住在该地区的人做一些好事，而且能为接下来几周春节期间来游玩的数以千计的人做一些好事。

本文主要谈论了应该如何正确对待残疾人。作为一个特殊的社会群体，残疾人的物质条件和精神状况都需要得到改善。

1. B推理判断题。根据第一段的第一句“Have you been asked for money by some

disabled beggars while you’re enjoying

【方法技巧】巧用上下文暗示突破词义猜测题

词义猜测题可分为非指代型猜词题和指代型猜词题。前者难度更大，设题也比后者普遍。非指代型猜词题最常用的解题技巧就是利用上下文猜测词义。该题即是如此。由第二段第二句“First， don’t

look down upon them.”及画线词所在句的后一句“Because they are part of

the society ...”可知，作者提出我们不应该歧视残疾人，因为他们是我们社会的一部分，由此可推知，作者意在要求人们平等地对待残疾人。由此可知，equally意为“平等地”。

5. C推理判断题。由第二段第四句“Try to

treat them equally.”可知，残疾人在日常生活中通常得不到平等对待，故选C。

书面表达

One possible version:

Dear Jane，

How are you? Last Sunday my

classmates and I went to visit the sick

children in Children’s Hospital. We took the

bus there with a lot of toys. When we got

there，the children were very happy to see us.

Then we gave out toys. Some girls sang

songs and danced to cheer them up. Some

boys played games with them happily.

Others read funny stories and made them

laugh. All the kids were really happy. And

we also got a strong feeling of satisfaction

from the volunteering.

I think it’s our duty to help the sick

children. We should do more volunteering.

Do you agree with me?

Yours,

Jim
