The National Union of Students (NUS) welcomes the news that greater numbers of black and disabled students are studying at UK universities, but there is still a lot of work to be done on widening access, writes the union's president, Gemma Tumelty.
A recent Department of Communities and Local Government (DCLG) equalities review showed that significant numbers of potential students felt their disability was to accessing higher education (HE). This is simply unacceptable.
Equality and diversity is not entirely a “numbers game” and before too much praise is given we need to hear more from , not just about their experience of accessing higher education but also going through the system.
Equality in society is absolutely, and fundamentally, linked to .
, university is the place where they will be first exposed to different cultures and . As well as fighting for better access, the NUS wants to see diversity properly valued and promoted within the student experience. Many pay lip service to the value of diversity, but is this recognized and promoted as a core asset to those who go through the HE system?

答案：1. B 2. E 3. C 4. A 5. D
解析：
1. 从第二段significant numbers of potential students felt their disability was这句话，我们可以看出这些潜在的学生对他们的disability有些担忧，所以可以猜到他们认为能力缺乏阻碍了他们，barrier的意思是“障碍”，因此选择B。
2.这里表示要听取某人的意见，可以从五个选项中找到表示某人的词语non-traditional students，所以选择E。
3. equality in society做主语，而且后面提到它和某事物相联系，所以可以猜测到equality in access to education与它有关联，因此选C。
4. 空格为一个句子的开头，因此必然要用首字母大写。因此选择A项。
5. 此句中的and表示并列，前面用到different cultures ，后面应该选择different people，从意思和用词上都一致，因此选择D。
