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."
Which of the followings could be the title of the Text?
选项
A、Expensive Changes Proposed by Bush
B、Plan Seeks More Access for Disabled
C、The Revision of the Americans With Disabilities Act
D、Comments on the Governmental Proposal
答案
B
解析
本题考查对文章主旨和框架的理解。文章在首段提出布什政府提议建立助残新标准,为残障人士提供更广泛的服务;第二段说明该提案影响范围广,要求社会各界为残障人士考虑;第三段指出在该提案的评议过程中人们看法不一,倡导者们认为如此做还不够;第四段通过残疾人的投诉证明他们享受的服务确实不够;第五段从经济及人口的角度肯定了该提案的价值。全文一直围绕该提议展开,而B选项中的Plan正是提议(proposal)的同义替换,且内容与该提议内容相符,包括了“残障人士”、“更多服务”的概念,是全文中心议题的提炼和概括,是正确选项。
