grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word 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 about handicap (残障）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 people 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, 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 walkways 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 parking spot, this is more likely a case of lack of education. People who (29) (inform) of the rail’s 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 people 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. glued B. guilty C. luxurious D. portrait E. proud F. reflected G. removed H. doubts I. reveals J. shadow K. suggest Could It Be a Work by Rembrandt（伦勃朗）
Rembrandt is the most famous of the seventeenth-century Dutch painters. However, there are 31 whether some paintings
attributed (归属）to Rembrandt were actually painted by him. One such painting is known as attributed to Rembrandt because of its style, and indeed the representation of the woman’s 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. First, there is something inconsistent （不一致） about the way the woman in the wear—-yet the coat she is wearing has a have been 33 is dressed. She is wearing a white linen cap of a kind that only servants would
34 fur collar that no servant could afford.
Rembrandt, who was known for his attention to the details of his subjects' clothing, would not
35 of such an inconsistency.
37Second, 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 onto it from below. But below the face is the dark fur collar, 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 together. 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 Rembrandt’s paintings in the 1930s.

A Question of Judgment
Human beings are, in principle, poor at considering background information when making individual decisions. At first glance, this might seem like a strength that __41__ people the ability to make judgments which are independent of __42__ factors. But in a world of quotas（配额）and limits—__43___, the world in which most professional people operate—Dr. Simonsohn reported in Psychological Science that it was actually a weakness since an inability to consider the big picture was leading decision-makers to be biased(有偏见）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）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, the ___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 five. 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 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. This might sound small, but to reverse the effects of such a decrease, a candidate would need 30 more GMAT points than
