They educate about all the facilities for people
17、 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
18、 Parking” signs. “(26) Im 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.

23、e are 31_ whether some paintings attributed (归属)toRembrandt were actually painted by him. One such painting is known as attributed to Rembrandt because of its style, and indeed the representation of the womans face is very much like that of portraits known to be by Rembrandt. Butthere are problems w
24、ith the painting that _32 it could not be a work byRembrandt.First, there is something inconsistent (不一致) about the way the woman inthe_33_is dressed. She is wearing a white linen cap of a kind that onlyservants would wear-yet the coat she is wearing has a_34 fur collar that no servant couldafford.
25、Rembrandt, who was known for his attention to the details of his subjects clothing, would not have been 35 of such an inconsistency.Second, Rembrandt was a master of painting light and36_, but in this painting theseelements do not fit together. The face appears to be illuminated(照亮)by light 37_onto
26、itfrom 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.

Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.A Question of JudgmentHuman beings are, in principle, poor at considering background info
29、rmation 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 operateDr. Simonsohn reported in Ps
30、ychological 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 someo
31、ne 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, a
32、t 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 admis
33、sions 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
34、applicants 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 s
35、core 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 would otherwise have been necessary.As for why people behave this way, Dr. Simonsohn proposes that after accept
36、ing a number of strong candidates, interviewers might form the WORD 格式-可编辑 专业知识-整理分享 illogical expectation that a _54_ candidate “is due”. Regardless of the reason, if this sort of thinking proves to have a similar effect on the judgments of those in other fields, such as law and medicine, it could

His parents were from Norway, and they
42、named him after Roald Amundsen, the famous Norwegian explorer. Roald was sent off to boarding school when he was only nine years old.

46、 and the Giant Peach, which tells the story of a young boy who attempts to escape from his two nasty, abusive aunts. The boy finally gets away by sailing across the ocean inside a magical. giant peach and befriends the giant bugs that live inside it. James and the Giant Peach was prompted by the bed
47、time stories Roald would make up for his young daughters. He said that it was a challenge to keep them interested and attentive- he had to make his stories funny, exciting, and original.
