It gets information from what we see,hear, touch, taste and smell. The brain works out what all this means and then we show a particular emotion (特别的情感) to all that information.But children with autism (自闭症) are different from us. In fact, children with autism can get all the information, but they are not able to understand it all.Their ears can hear normally, but their brain cannot understand what others are saying. Sometimes, sounds that we like are far too loud to them. They may feel really upset by the everyday noises and will try to shut them out of their ears.Their eyes can see normally, but some things seem to hurt their eyes; some things seem to be very interesting.Sometimes they are so interested in looking at something that they cant notice what else is going on around them.They may be more comfortable learning in their own homes or in a special class at school.They may not be able to learn much about a lot of things, but they may know a large amount about one or two things.They will have trouble communicating by talking, listening and watching, or understanding what people mean when they are talking.People who have autism are born with it, but the signs that they are having problems usually do not show up until they are at least a year or more older.Everyone needs to feel loved. If you have someone in your family or in your class who is autistic, you can help him by encouraging and caring. Try to give them love. It will make them feel much better.（1）What does the underlined word “it” refer to?A . The autism.B . The information.C . The brain.D . The particular emotion.（2）What does the underlined part mean?A .

Have you ever thought about why that is so?In the A, B, C, D and F grading system, the first four letters are typically considered passing grades. An F in this system simply stands for“fail”.The word“fail”happens to start with the letter F, which seems to leave out the letter E. The fact”Some schools have U grade for“unsatisfactory”,or I grade for “incomplete”.Even with all this said, we should also point out that E grade actually has been used pretty commonly throughout the history of letter grades in the US.The first college in the US to use a letter grading system like the ones we use today is Mount Holyoke College. In 1897, they began to use the following grading scale:A: 95-100%(excellent) B: 85-94%(good) C: 76-84%(fair)D: 75%(barely passed) E: below 75%(failed)We can see the inclusion of E instead of F.Gradually,the letter grading system became more popular throughout the US. However, many schools decided to drop the E grade and go straight to F.There is no evidence(证据) to really support this, but one possible explanation is that teachers were worried that some students and parents might mistake E for “excellent”.Why do we have letter grades? Well, part of the reason is that they made grading simpler during a time of great change for schools. As the 20th century began,growing cities and an increase in immigration led to larger school classrooms. Most teachers at that time thought this new letter grading system was an easy, fair and clear way to grade students.Today, more and more people argue that letter grades dont fully reflect(反映) student learning. However，as teachers try to improve grading methods, many parents continue to favor the letter grades they got as kids, they are familiar(熟悉) and easy for parents to understand. So while they might not be perfect, the letter grades probably arent going away any time soon.（1）What does an F stand for in the A、B、C、D and F grading system? （2）When was the letter grading system first used in the US college? （3）What is one possible explanation for dropping the E grade? （4）What did most teachers think of the letter grading system in the 20th century? （5）Why do many parents still prefer the letter grades today? 三、 完形填空 (共1题；共15分)5. （15分）完形填空先通读下面的短文，掌握其大意，然后在每小题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。Creativity(创造力)is the key to a bright future. Here is 1schools and parents can help their children to develop their creativity.Drew worked for a company in 1925. At work he invented(发明)a kind of material 2enough to hold things together.

And his company learned from its 3.Now the company asked its workers to 415 percent of their work time just thinking about and developing new ideas.Creativity is not something one is just born with. A person with high intelligence(智力)does not mean that he uses it creatively.
