　　Ⅳ.閱讀理解

　　Taylor Bernard and her twin sister were born 12 weeks early. As a result, Taylor suffers from cerebral palsy (CP). It is a condition that affects the brain. Kids who are born with CP have trouble controlling the muscles in their body. Taylor is 8 years old now. She uses a power-wheelchair to get around. Her twin sister Sydney participates in sports, but Taylor has a different interest: art.

　　Taylor submitted(提交) a watercolor painting of a sunset in Chesapeake Bay, Virginia, to an art contest. Of the more than 5,500 students who took park in the contest, only 51 were selected. Taylor was one of them. Her winning painting is now being displayed in Union Station, in Washington, D．C. After leaving Union Station, the exhibit will tour the country.

　　The contest was sponsored by VSA, the international organization on arts and disability. The nonprofit group was started to give people with disabilities an opportunity to participate in the arts. Submissions for the contest came from students with and without disabilities. The exhibition is part of VSA's International Arts Festival and was also sponsored by CVS Caremark's All Kids Can program.

　　Art Changed Her Life

　　Amanda LaMunyon represented Oklahoma in the exhibition. She just finished her freshman year of high school. When Amanda was in elementary school, she had problems focusing and following rules. She has Asperger Syndrome, which is a form of autism.

　　“People started looking at her differently，” her mother, Sherry LaMunyon, said. “They stopped looking at her as a girl who was struggling and started looking at her as an artist. It's changed her whole life.”

　　The president of VSA, Soula Antoniou, said that the point of the exhibition is to focus on students' abilities, rather than their disabilities. “What we're trying to do is make sure each student finds something they're good at，” she said.

　　That's exactly what Taylor's done. While she has some difficulty with fine motor skills, she's found that she's talented with wide brush strokes(筆畫) in painting.

　　Inspiring Others

　　Before finding painting, Amanda said she had trouble fitting in. “I didn't have anything that I felt was my talent，” she said. Now she's more focused on school and is interested in studying fashion design and theater.

　　Amanda hopes that the exhibition will show others that even if they have disabilities, they have abilities they don't even know yet. You can see more of Amanda's artwork at amandalamunyon.com.

　　41．How could Amanda's mother feel when they learned Amanda could paint?

　　A．Disappointed.

　　B．Surprised.

　　C．Doubt.

　　D．Pleased.

　　42．What is the text mainly about?

　　A．Students with disabilities show their creativity at an international art festival in Washington, D．C.

　　B．Students with disabilities are more talented in art according to the result of an international art festival in Washington, D．C.

　　C．An international art festival in Washington, D．C. gives people with disabilities an opportunity to participate in the arts.

　　D．More than 5,500 students submitted their paintings at an international art festival in Washington, D．C.

　　43．We may infer from the passage that ________.

　　A．Amanda had Asperger Syndrome before she went to the elementary school

　　B．Some children who are disabled even don't know their situation

　　C．Taylor has trouble controlling the muscles, but her sister is healthy

　　D．Amanda is good at painting with wide brush strokes

　　44．Where could this passage come from?

　　A．In a newspaper.

　　B．In a magazine.

　　C．On the Internet.

　　D．In a report.

　　課時作業(二十六)

　　Ⅰ.1－5　CBBAD

　　Ⅱ.6.B　考查名詞辨析。句意：這個司機可以根據自己的喜好在冬天調節供暖器，也可以在夏天調節空調。preference意為“偏愛，更加喜歡”。

　　7．A　考查冠詞的用法。因為sky和world原本是獨一無二的，但這里前面都有了形容詞修飾，表示會出現一個什么樣的sky和world，這里就屬于泛指了。

　　8．B　考查動詞短語辨析。答語的意思是：一切都進展順利，除了我們的汽車在途中拋錨了兩次外。break down意為“拋錨”；slow down意為“慢下來”；get down意為“記下，寫下”；put down意為“放下，記下”。

　　9．A　考查名詞辨析。區分四個近義詞，可從句意及空格后面的介詞入手，表達“中國在……上面有著較好的聲譽”應接介詞for；influence后接on；impression后接on；knowledge后接of。

　　10．D　考查形容詞辨析。句意：在那時候，我們主要的任務是給那些被暴風雪阻擋的人們提供食物和醫療救助。primary意為“主要的，基本的”，符合題意。normal表示“正常的”；constant表示“不斷的，恒定的”；permanent表示“永久的”。

　　11．C　考查交際用語。would rather sb. didn't do sth.意為“寧愿某人不要做某事”；A、D兩項“去吧；隨你意”與下句“外面在刮大風”矛盾。B項 I'd rather not.意思是“我寧愿不……”，與上句不符。

　　12．C　考查形容詞辨析。根據下文中“警察很容易就找到了那個小偷”可知，目擊者給出的是詳細的描述。detailed“詳細的”。故選C項。

　　13．B　考查動詞辨析。wish 后的賓語從句常用虛擬語氣；hope則表示有可能實現的愿望，不用虛擬語氣。C、D兩項中介詞后不能接that引導的賓語從句。

　　14．D　考查名詞詞義辨析。句意：盡管普通的讀者在他們的一生中花了超過四千英鎊在書上，但55%的人說買書只是為了裝飾并不打算讀它們。intention意為“打算”，符合語境。advantage意為“優點”；attempt意為“嘗試”；evidence意為“證據”。

　　15．C　考查倒裝。so…that…， such…that…結構中，若so, such 和與其所修飾的詞置于句首，使用部分倒裝，又因為sudden是形容詞，作表語，所以選C項。

　　16．D　考查虛擬語氣。wish后接賓語從句， 從句要用虛擬語氣。由句中的could attend可知，這是與現在事實相反的虛擬語氣，所以“繁忙”應是現在的情況，是事實不是虛擬，故用一般現在時。

　　17．C　考查形容詞辨析。typical 意為“典型的；有代表性的；一向如此的”。句意：“約翰總是先考慮別人然后再考慮自己。”“的確是，他一向都愿意幫助別人。”aggressive意為“好斗的，侵略的”；evident意為“明顯的；明白的”；conventional意為“常規的”。

　　18．A　考查名詞辨析。句意：“那天瑪麗正受人欺負，這時約翰碰巧經過給她解了圍。”“我想這絕非巧合，而是精心安排的。”coincidence意為“巧合的事情”，與well planned相對。occurrence意為“偶然發生的事”；arrangement意為“安排”；incident“小事件，事變”。
