Today, her nonprofit, Autism Inclusion Resources, helps families affected by autism deal with challenging social situations, such as sporting events, airport travel and museum visits. Many Major League Baseball teams hold annual 44autism awareness nights, when they take temporary measures such as lowering the volume (音量)on the public address system. But Ross wanted to do more. You can39。t turn down the volume of the world, Ross said. It39。s nice to do it for one night, but our goal is for families to be able to go to a game on any night. To that end, Ross partnered with the Philadelphia Phillies to develop a creative program. She armed all the Phillies players and gameday staff with knowledge about autism and how to interact with individuals who have the disorder. Each family is also provided a clinician at the game who gives additional support if problems arise. She also helps prepare the families for the event. Ross has also found her airport travel program to be successful for families. Using the same principles, she trains airline and security staff at major airports and then guides families through the travel experience, including checking in, going through security and boarding a plane. Ross hopes that the tools she gives families can help them explore other settings on their own. We really see it as a stepping stone to a brighter future, she said.(1)According to Ross, what does a social disability mean? A.Fearing light and noise.B.Lacking social experience.C.Having to rely on others for help.D.Being separated from the munity.(2)What does the underlined part do more, imply? A.Making the ballpark less noisy.B.Making baseball teams autismfriendly.C.Providing a normal game for autistic children.D.Encouraging autistic children to go out into public.(3)What is the Philadelphia Phillies? A.A baseball team.B.A baseball game.C.A team of clinicians.D.Families with autistic children.(4)What is the purpose of Ross39。s airport travel program? A.To help families to learn about air travel.B.To teach airport staff knowledge about autism.C.To teach autistic children how to travel by air.D.To help autistic children get used to social situations.【答案】 (1)C(2)C(3)A(4)D 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇記敘文,兒科醫(yī)生Dr. Wendy Ross為了讓深受自閉癥折磨的孩子和家庭能夠順利融入社會(huì)而做出的卓有成效的努力。 (1)考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第四段中的“If kids are not in the munity, building their skills from very young ages, then there39。s no reason to expect them to be independent one day, 以及It39。s a social disability.

This could not be good. My mind raced through the list of family members who might need help, but the voice was hardly familiar. Linda, this is Lesley. I didn39。t know Lesley well. We did occasionally speak with each other, but to say we were friends was not appropriate. I asked what she needed. Perhaps something really awful caused her to reach someone she barely knew. Instead, she asked me, Do you have room for a turkey? In your freezer? We had lots of room in our freezer, and in fact, too much. Sure, I responded, did your freezer break down? Not exactly, Lesley replied, but I will explain when I arrive. Minutes later came a huge freezer truck. Lesley stepped down and explained the lease (租約) of the grocery store her husband serviced had run out and that they had to empty all the freezers that night. Thinking it was a shame to throw away all this good food, they decided to drop off food to anyone she could think of. Noticing our freezer was pretty empty, Lesley asked to fill it up. Our home was their last stop and anything left would have to be put in our freezer. An hour later, everything finished, I asked her, When will you e back for all this? Lesley laughed, We don39。t want it back. It is yours! Thanks for helping us out! Then they waved goodbye and drove away. For helping them out? We opened our freezer door. Inside were all expensive foods we never bought but often longed to try. We were struggling to buy groceries, yet it was not something we shared with anyone. However, our needs were met in an unexpected way by that call.(1)How did the writer feel when she heard the phone ringing?
