The Bush administration is going to propose far-reaching new rules which would give people with disabilities greater access to tens of thousands of courtrooms, swimming pools, golf courses, stadiums, theaters, hotels and retail stores. The proposal would substantially update and rewrite federal standards for enforcement of the Americans With Disabilities Act, which is a landmark civil rights law passed with strong bipartisan support in 19 90. The new rules would set more stringent requirements in a lot of areas and address some issues for the first time, in an effort to meet the needs of an aging population and increasing numbers of disabled war veterans.
More than seven million businesses and all state and local government agencies would be influenced. The proposal includes some exemptions for parts of existing buildings, but any new construction or renovations would have to comply. The new standards would affect everything from the location of light switches to the height of retail service counters, to the use of monkeys as "service animals" for people with disabilities, which would be forbidden.
The White House approved the proposal in May after a five-month review. It will be published in the Federal Register on Tuesday, with 6 0 days for public comment. After considering those comments, the government would issue final rules with the force of law. Already, the proposal is stirring concern. The United States Chamber of Commerce says it would be onerous and costly, while advocates for disabled Americans say it does not go far enough.
Since the disability law was signed by the first President Bush, advances in technology have made services more available to people with disabilities. But Justice Department officials said they were still receiving large numbers of complaints. In recent months, the federal government has settled lawsuits securing more seats for disabled fans at Madison Square Garden in New York and at the nation’s largest college football stadium, at the University of Michigan.
The Justice Department acknowledged that some of the changes would have significant costs. But over all, it said, the value of the public benefits, estimated at ¥54 billion, exceeds the expected costs of ¥23 billion. In an economic analysis of the proposed rules, the Justice Department said the need for an accessible environment was greater than ever because the Iraq war was "creating a new generation of young men and women with disabilities." John L. Wodatch, chief of the disability rights section of the Justice Department, said: "Disability is inherent in the human condition. The vast majority of individuals who are fortunate enough to reach an advanced age will benefit from the proposed requirements."
We can learn from the last paragraph that the proposed rules would
选项
A、be costly and impose pressure on the government.
B、be profitable and bring interests to citizens.
C、be beneficial to both the aged and the disabled.
D、be a compensate to those Iraq war victims.
答案
C
解析
本题考查对原文相关细节的准确理解。答案信息来源在第五段,主要检索对该提议的评价。一方面the Justice Departmen指出伊拉克战争带来“年轻残疾人”,从而需要残疾人服务;另一方面,John L.Wodatch指出“人总会肢体不灵便的,人到了一定年纪就会受益于该提议”。故C选项为正确答案。
