23、）_七、BSECTION 2: STUD(总题数：6，分数：60.00)Like many people, Ive always seen the Olympics as the “main“ sporting event held every four yearsthe headline actand the Paralyrnpics as something of an “add-on“the supporting act. It you are not disabled yourself it is hard to understand some of the games and the
24、 athletes mobility problems.But being in the host city for these Paralympics changed my perspective. I came to realize these athletes were nothing short of superheroes. Deprived of physical abilities that able-bodied people take for granted, they made up for them and then some. They tested their sen
25、ses and the boundaries of physical ability to extremes that the Bolts and Phelpses of this world would never have to.If some Olympic runners had to undergo a double-amputation, I wonder if they would strap two carbon fiber blades to their knees like Oscar Pistorius, also known as Blade Runner, of So
26、uth Africa, and relearn everything that once came naturally.If some Olympic swimming heroes suddenly went blind, would they have the courage to still surge through the water like Donovan Tildesley, not knowing when they would reach the end of the pool?

27、life-changing experience like a car crash or bad rugby scrum.

28、 dont watch TV as a kid aspiring to be a Paralympian. But it takes more than early mornings, training programs and special diets to get to the Paralympics. It takes a tragedy or loss that will have been grieved over, worked through and overcome.Skiing is terrifying enough if you have all your facult
29、ies. Standing at the top of a ski slope, its a battle of wills for most people to launch themselves, but Canadas Donovan Tildesley, who has been blind from birth, revealed to a China Daily reporter that not only did he already ski, but he also wanted to take it up competitively.Superheroes indeed, e
30、ach and every one. The Paralympics should be renamed the “Superlympics“. Its nothing to do with the equality denoted by the Greek “para“, its about “super“ ability, courage and strength that most of us, the top able-bodied athletes of the world included, will never have to muster.Its worth rememberi
31、ng that many Paralympians suffered horrific injuries while living life to the full. You dont get paralyzed sitting at home playing video games. And having lived life to the full they are not prepared to stop. Thats the lesser talked about “Paralympic spirit“.I only hope that if life dealt me or my l

35、But civil rights groups and minority business owners have complained to Congress about minorities being set up as “fronts“ with White backing, rather than being accepted as full partners in legitimate joint ventures.Third, a minority enterprise that secures the business of one large corporate custom
36、er often run the danger of becoming and remaining dependent. Even in the best of circumstances, fierce competition from larger, more established companies makes it difficult for small concerns to broaden their customer bases: when such firms have nearly guaranteed orders from a single corporate bene

Although corporations showed considerable interest in working with minority businesses in the 1970s, their aversion to government paperwork ma
45、de them reluctant to pursue many government contracts. C. The significant response of corporations in the t970s is likely to be sustained and conceivably be increased throughout the 1980s. D.
