问题    No one knows exactly how many disabled people there are in the world, but estimates suggest the number is over 450 million. The number of disabled people in India alone is probably more than double the total population of Canada.
   In the United Kingdom, about one in ten people have some disability. Disability is not just something that happens to other people: as we get older, many of us will become less mobile, hard of hearing or have failing eyesight.
   Disablement can take many forms and occur at any time of life. Some people are born with disabilities. Many others become disabled as they get older. There are many progressive disabling diseases. The longer time goes on, the worse they become. Some people are disabled in accidents. Many others may have a period of disability in the form of a mental illness. All are affected by people’ s attitude towards them.
   Disabled people face many physical barriers. Next time you go shopping or go to work or visit friends, imagine how you would manage if you could not get up steps, or on to buses or trains. How would you cope if you could not see where you were going or could not hear the traffic? But there are other barriers: prejudice can be even harder to break down and ignorance inevitably represents by far the greatest barrier of all. It is almost impossible for the able-bodied to fully appreciate what the severely disabled go through, so it is important to draw attention to these barriers and show that it is the individual person and their ability, not their disability, that counts.
The first paragraph points out that______.

选项 A、there are many disabled people in the world
B、the number of disabled people in India is the biggest
C、India has many more disabled people than Canada
D、it is easy to get an exact number of the world’ s disabled people

答案A

解析 第一段首句说“世界上残疾人数目大概超过4.5亿”,后面又提到了“仅印度残疾人口的数目就超过了加拿大总人口的两倍”,所以第一段主要是为了指出“世界上有许多残疾人”。故选A。
