Moved with pity, the bird threw her a blade of grass, which supported her like a raft(筏子), and thus the ant reached the bank again. While she was resting and drying herself in the grass, she heard a man come near. He was walking along barefooted(光脚) with a gun in his hand. As soon as he saw the dove, he wished to kill it. He would certainly have done so, but the ant bit him in the foot just as he raised his gun to fire. He stopped to see what had bit him, and the dove immediately flew away.

The curious child reached up to catch the wire(电线) of a hot kettle(壶) in the family kitchen and poured boiling water over her little body.Her mother Ruby turned round and, seeing Ammie terribly burnt, called an ambulance(救护车) which rushed her daughter to a nearby hospital. Twenty per(组织)taken from unburned areas of Ammie’s body, surgeons（外科医生）performed difficult skin grafts（移植）to close her wounds and control herillness, an operation that took about six hours. Over the next 16 years, Ammie experienced 12 more operations to repair her body.When she started school at Maxwelton Primary at age 4, other pupils say cruel words about her or simply wouldn’t play with her. “ I was the only burned child in the street, the class and the school,” she recalled, “some children refused to become friends because of that.”Today, age 17, Ammie can only ever remember being a burned person with scars(疤), suffering from ache is a lasting part of her body. She still has to have two further skin grafts. Yet she is a confident, outgoing teenager who offers encouragement and hope to other young burnt victims.She is a member of the Scottish Burned Chindren’s Club, a charity set up last year. This month, Ammie will join the younger children at the Graffham Water Center in Cambridgeshire for the charity’s first summer camp. “I’ll sh ow them how to pay no attention to unkind stares(注视) from others,” she says. Ammie loves wearing fashionable sleeveless dresses, and she plans to show the youngsters at the summer camp that they can too. “I do not go t o great lengths to hide my burnt scars,” she says, “I gave up wondering how other people would react years ago.”41.

OutgoingDPeople with disabilities make up a large part of the population. It is reported that over 35 million Americans have physical, mental, or other disabilities. About half of these disabilities are “developmental", that is to say, they happen before people’s twenty-second birthday, often from born conditions, and are hard enough to affect three or more areas of development, such as movement, communication, occupation, etc. Most other disabilities are considered “adventitious"(偶然的), i.e., accidental or caused by outside forces.Before the 20th century, only a small percentage of people with disabilities survived for long. Medical treatment for these disabilities was unavailable. Improvements in medicine and social services have created a climate in which people with disabilities can expect to have such basic (基本的) needs as food, shelter, and medical treatment. Unluckily, these basics are often not available. Human rights such as the right to vote, marry, get an education, and achieve work have traditionally been not agreed on the basis of disability.In recent ten years, the disability rights movement has been organized to fight against these disagreements of human rights. Congress(国会) replied by passing important laws recognizing(承认) people with disabilities as a protected group under human rights laws.It is reported that more than half of qualified(有资格的) Americans with disabilities don’t have work, and a lot of those who do work are out of work. About two-thirds live at or below the official lowest level.Obvious difficulties, especially in communication and public awareness(意识), prevent disabled people from taking part in society. For example, while no longer stopped by law from marrying, a person unable to communicate is excluded(排斥) from society and social activities which might lead to the development of long-term relationships.Only when public attitudes(态度) advance as far as laws have, disabled people will be fully able to take their rightful place in society.46. A “develop mental" disability ______.A. is caused by forcesB. happens in youth and affects developmentC. develops very slowly over timeD. is getting harder and harder47．Most disabled people used to die early because ______.A. they were not very well looked afterB. disabilities destroyed body functions terriblyC. they were too poor to get right treatmentD. medical treatment were not available48.

Which of the following cannot be inferred（推断）from the passage ?A. The public tend to(倾向) look down on the disabled people.B. Many disabled people may remain single(保持单身) for their whole life.C. The disabled people feel inferior(不及) to those common people.D. Discriminatory(歧视性) laws prevent the disabled from mixing with others.50. The best title for this passage might be ______.A．The Causes for Disabilities B．Medical Treatments for DisabilitiesC．The physical difficulties of the Disabled D．Disadvantages of People with Disabilities四、阅读文章，回答问题（10 分）You are going to high school, aren't you?
