【C20】
选项 A、route
B、chance
C、access
D、entrance
答案C
解析 语义衔接题。前面提到法律不再禁止残疾人结婚，即残疾人享有结婚的权利，while(虽然)表明前后意思有转折，由此可知，后面应该是说残疾人不容易享用的权利，即乘坐公共交通的权利，故答案为[C]access。access to表示“享用…的机会”。route to表示“做／解决…的方法”或“去…地方的路线”：chance经常构成chance of(doing)sth．或chance to do sth．，表示“做某事的机会或可能性”，根据空后为名词transportation可排除强干扰项[B]；entrance to表示“进入某个地方的门、通道等”或“进入某个地方的权利或能力”。
