Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the following questions.
The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) was signed into law in 1990. This law extends civil rights protection to persons with disabilities in private sector employment, all public services, and in public accommodations, transportation, and telecommunications. A person with disability is defined as someone with a mental or physical impairment that substantially limits him or her in a major life activity, such as walking, talking, working, or self-care. A person with a disability may also be someone with a past record of such an impairment, for example, someone who no longer has heart disease but discriminated against because of that history.
The ADA states that employers with fifteen or more employees may not refuse to hire or promote a person because of a disability if that person is qualified to perform the job. Also, the employer must make reasonable accommodations that will allow a person with a disability to perform essential functions of the job.
        All new vehicles purchased by public transit authorities must be accessible to people with disabilities. All rail stations must be made accessible, and at least one car per train is existing rail systems must be made accessible.
It is illegal for public accommodations to exclude or refuse persons with disabilities. Public accommodations are businesses and services such as restaurants, hotels, grocery stores, and parks. All new buildings must be made accessible, and existing facilities must remove barriers if the removal can be accomplished without much difficulty or expense.
The ADA also stipulates that companies offering telephone service to the general public must offer relay services to individuals who use telecommunications devices for the deaf, twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week.
It can be inferred from the passage that
A.every car of a train must be accessible to persons with disabilities.

C.large companies may not discriminate against workers with disabilities.
D.restaurants can refuse service to people with disabilities.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each question from 36 to 45.
             Until recently, most American entrepreneurs were men. Discrimination against women in business, the demands of caring for families, and lack of business training had kept the number of women entrepreneurs small. Now, however, businesses owned by women account for more than $40 billion in annual revenues, and this figure is likely to continue rising throughout the 1990s. As Carolyn Doppelt Gray, an official of the Small Business Administration has noted. “The 1970s was the decade of women entering management, and the 1980s turned out to be the decade of the woman entrepreneur.”
            What are some of the factors behind this trend? For one thing, as more women earn advanced degrees in business and enter the corporate world, they are finding obstacles. Women are still excluded from most executive suites. Charlotte Taylor, a management consultant, had noted. “In the 1970s women believed if they got an MBA and worked hard they could become chairman of the board. Now they have found out that isn’t going to happen, so they go out on their own.”
            In the past, most women entrepreneurs worked in “women’s” fields – cosmetics and clothing, for example. But this is changing. Consider ASK Computer System, a $22 million a year computer software business. It was founded in 1973 by Sandra Kurtzig who was then a housewife with degrees in math and engineering. When Kurtzig founded the business, her first product was software that let weekly newspapers keep tabs on their newspaper carriers – and her office was a bedroom at home, with a shoebox under the bed to hold the company’s cash. After she succeeded with the newspaper software system, she hired several bright computer-science graduates to develop additional programs. When these were marketed and sold, ASK began to grow. It now has 200 employees, and Sandra Kurtzig owns $66.9 million of stock. Of course, many women who start their own businesses fail, just as men often do. They still face hurdles in the business world, especially problems in raising money; the banking and finance world is still dominated by men, an old attitudes die hard. Most businesses owned by women are still quite small.
            But the situation is changing; there are likely to be many more Sandra Kurtzig in the years ahead.

Read the passage carefully, then choose the best answer for each question.
THE ROBOTS ARE COMING!
The year is 2045. A goal is scored at the soccer World Cup. Not by a human player, but by a robot. A robot? Is that possible? Many scientists believe it is. In fact, there are already robots that can play soccer. Of course, today's robots don't just play sports. Today's scientists are working on robots with various skills. For example, it is very possible that robots will soon help take care of children or the elderly,  or do dangerous jobs such as fighting fires.
When people started making robots, they were made to do just simple things, mainly in factories. Since then, however, robots have changed a lot. Early robots were operated by humans. Today's robots function on their own. Some can only move around a little, like robot vacuum cleaners,  but others, such as Honda's ASIMO, can do much more. He can run, climb stairs, dance, and yes, even play soccer.
Then there are robots designed to be like humans. These robots have faces and can show emotions. Such robots can learn new things, and show us how they "feel.'' Actroid-DER—a social robot—looks so human, she sometimes makes people feel uncomfortable.
Animal-bots
Scientists aren't just building humanlike robots. They are also making  robots that look and act like animals.
At NASA, scientists are making a robot snake. They think it's a good alternative to vehicles with wheels. These snake-bots can enter holes and move over rough ground. They might one day help scientists look for signs of life on Mars. Other animal robots include the frog-bot, which can jump over objects, and the sticky-bot, which can walk up walls. There's even a robot called Water Runner that can walk on water.
But can a robot soccer team ever operate all on their own, or play as well as a human team? Many robot scientists definitely think so. Among the robots of today are Honda's ASIMO (top left), the NASA snake-bot (bottom left), and Actroid-DER—the social robot (right). Anything is possible. One day, they may even be world champions!
Which statement would the author probably agree with?
A.A frog-bot can do more things than a sticky-bot.
B.Robots should not have to do difficult jobs for humans.
C.There could be robot soccer players that think for themselves in the World Cup by 2045.
D.Human should depend on robots to do things.
