.  Visual impairment carries with     1    ability to travel through one's physical and social until adequate orientation and mobility skills have been established. Because observational skills are more limited, self-control within the immediate surroundings is limited. The visually impaired person is less able to anticipate     2    situations or obstacles to avoid.
    Orientation refers to the     3    map one has of one's surroundings and to the relationship between self and that environment. It is best generated by moving through the environment and     4    together relationships, object by object, in an organized approach. With     5    visual feedback to reinforce this map, a visually impaired person must rely on memory for key landmarks and other clues, which enable visually impaired persons to     6    their position in space.
    Mobility is the ability to travel safely and efficiently from one point to another within one's physical and social environment. Good orientation skills are necessary to good mobility skills. Once visually impaired students learn to travel safely as pedestrians (行人), they also need to learn to use public transportation to become as     7    as possible.
    To meet the     8    demands of the visually impaired person, there is a sequence instruction that begins during the preschool years and may continue after high schools. Many visually impaired children lack adequate concepts regarding time and space or objects and events in their environment. During the early years much attention is focused on the development of some fundamental     9    , such as inside or outside, in front of or behind, fast or slow, which are essential to safe,     10    travel through familiar and unfamiliar settings.1. 
【正确答案】 C
【答案解析】[考点] 本题考查的是上下文。
本文介绍了视觉障碍者安全出行的困难性,和学习独立出行所需具备的两点:建立足够的定位能力和移动能力。
   第一句话是视觉障碍的定义,所以是能力不足或有限,故选C。
[参考译文] 视觉障碍者在实际生活中和社会中的行动能力是被限制的,直到他们建立足够的定位能力和移动能力。因为观察能力比较有限,所以他们对周围的自控力是有限的。视障人不能预见危险情况或避免障碍。
   定位能力是指一个人对环境和对自我与环境的关系的心理地图。最好是由有组织性的,一对一的,通过在环境中移动和人际关系的拼凑建立起来的。没有视觉反馈来加强这种地图,有视觉障碍的人就必须依靠对关键性地标的记忆和其他线索,来确认他们的空间位置。
   移动性是指一个人在自然和社会环境中从一点到另一个点安全的、有效的移动。良好的定位能力需要良好的移动技能。一旦有视觉障碍的人学会了安全出行,他们也需要学会使用公共交通,并尽可能地独立。
   为了满足视障者日益增长的需求,从幼儿园开始到高中以后,都有一系列有序的指导。许多视障儿童缺少对于时间和空间或物体和环境的适当的概念。在年幼时期,关注点放在一些基本概念的发展上,如内部或外部,前或后,和快或慢,这些对于安全性都是必不可少的,有助于提高在熟悉和不熟悉的环境中行动的效率。
