But it can be a terrible experience for those with autistic（自闭症的）children, who are sensitive to light and noise and usually become upset and scared.For these families, fear of how their child will react to new situationsand how others will react to them-keeps them from gaining everyday experiences others get to have.Dr. Wendy Ross was heartbroken to see that. The pediatrician（儿科医生）in Philadelphia also knew that separation from the community didnt serve her patients well in the long run.If kids are not in the community, building their skills from very young ages, then theres no reason to expect them to be independent one day, Ross said. Its a social disability. It needs to be addressed in a social setting.So in 2020, Ross set out to do just that. 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 cant turn down the volume of the world, Ross said. Its 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 game-day 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.4. 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 community.5. What does the underlined part do more, imply?A. Making the ballpark less noisy.B. Making baseball teams autism-friendly.C. Providing a normal game for autistic children.D. Encouraging autistic children to go out into public.6. What is the Philadelphia Phillies?A. A baseball team.B. A baseball game.C. A team of clinicians.D. Families with autistic children.7. What is the purpose of Rosss 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】4. C 5. C 6. A 7. D【解析】本文是一篇记叙文。自闭症的孩子遭受着巨大的痛苦，他们尤其是对灯光和声音非常敏感。本篇文章介绍了儿科医生Dr. Wendy Ross为了让深受自闭症折磨的孩子和家庭能够顺利融入社会而做出的卓有成效的努力。【4题详解】细节理解题。Ross在第四段If kids are not in the community, building their skills from very young ages, then theres no reason to expect them to be independent one day, Ross said. Its a social disability. It needs to be addressed in a social setting.一句中解释了a social disability的概念：无法独立，只能依靠别人的帮助。故选C。【5题详解】词句猜测题。根据Its nice to do it for one night, but our goal is for families to be able to go to a game on any night.可知Ross并不是只想举办一场特殊的比赛，而是想让患有自闭症的孩子们每个晚上都能观看比赛。由此可知do more意为：为自闭症孩子提供正常比赛。故选C。【6题详解】推理判断题。根据第七段中partnered with the Philadelphia Phillies一句及第八段中She armed all the Phillies players可知Philadelphia Phillies应该是一支棒球队伍。故选A。【7题详解】推理判断题。根据helps families affected by autism deal with challenging social situations, such as sporting events, airport travel and museum visits、 Ross has also found her airport travel program to be successful for families. Using the same principles”可知，让患自闭症的儿童去机场也是使这些儿童适应社会环境。故选D。CHow was your day today? If it was just sort of OK, with nothing much happening, then Scott Shaffer wants to hear from you. Mr Shaffer is the editor of the Journal of Mundane Behaviour. We can learn a lot about the way that society works by examining normal patterns of behavior,” he says. All the ordinary decisions we make and ordinary things we do are society in action.The idea that social scientists should “study the unmarked”，in Mr Shaffers words, has also spread to historians. Traditionally, most history has been written as the story of greatness. It is all about great ideas, great people and great economic and social forces changing the way that millions of people live for ever. Albert Einsteins theory of relativity changed the way that we look at the universe. But has he been of more benefit to humanity than the unknown person who invented the first really comfortable shoe? Try thinking great thoughts when your feet hurt.In recent years, books of micro-history have been a great success with the public. Most micro historians like to relate their subject to wider developments in society. According to historian Catherine Gallagher, the potato was once a matter of great argument. Supporters pointed out that it could grow cheaply and easily and help feed the poor. Opponents said that this would lead to the poor becoming more powerful, since they did not have to spend every hour working to feed themselves. It seems that European socialism started with an argument about vegetables. British historian Colin Jones wants us to look at pictures painted hundreds of years ago. He wants us to notice the fact that nobody smiles in these pictures. Compare that with today, when everyone smiles for the camera and refusing to smile is seen as an unfriendly act. It is all because of dentistry, he says. Once people were able to look after their teeth, they began to smile and the world became a happier place.Whether stories like this are true or not, they put ordinary people at the center of history. Most of us are not going to change the world in a big way. But we might be able to do something that makes life a bit easier for other people. And maybe one day a historian will come along and write the story. It is something to get excited about, though perhaps not very excited.8. Why does the author tell you to try thinking great thoughts when your feet hurt?A. To show the ordinary is necessary.B. To show history is created by the unknown.C. To show great thoughts are unnecessary.D. To show greatness comes from the ordinary.9. What was the most important thing about the argument about the potato?A. It helped the poor to feed themselves.B. It helped to spend less money on food.C. It brought about a struggle against the rich.D. It led to great changes in society.10. Why didnt people smile in pictures painted hundreds of years ago?A. They lived a hard life.B. Their teeth looked terrible.C. They were not friendly.D. They preferred to look serious.11. What is mainly discussed in the text?A. The ways to make life easier.B. The importance of the ordinary in history.C. The increasing interest in micro-history.D. Unknown people who invented small things.【答案】8. A 9. D 10. B 11. B【解析】【分析】本文是一篇议论文。文章讨论了关注社会中普通人的重要性。【8题详解】推理判断题。根据第一段中 Mr Shaffer 所表述的观点(All the ordinary decisions we make and ordinary things we do are society in action.)及第二段的主题But has he been of more benefit to humanity than the unknown person who invented the first really comfortable shoe? Try thinking great thoughts when your feet hurt.可知第一个发明舒适的鞋的未知人的重要性。作者以此来印证普通人和普通人的想法的重要性。故选A。【9题详解】推理判断题。根据第三段According to historian Catherine Gallagher, the potato was once a matter of great argument. 以及 It seems that European socialism started with an argument about vegetables. 可知作者在文中提到了potato，而恰恰是对potato的讨论带来了社会的变革。故选D。【10题详解】推理判断题。根据第三段It is all because of dentistry, he says. Once people were able to look after their teeth, they began to smile and the world became a happier place可推断当人们会照料自己的牙齿的时候，人们才敢笑，这表明在此之前人不敢笑，是因为他们的牙齿很糟糕。故选B。【11题详解】主旨大意题。本文主题为“The importance of the ordinary in history,（历史中普通人的重要性）”各段落紧扣主题内容，论证了作者在本文中的观点普通人是很重要的。故选B。【点睛】主旨大意题做题技巧1) 主旨大意题属于归纳概括题。如有标题，标题中蕴含的信息往往是关键信息。2) 找准文章的主题句是关键。“主题句定位法”是一种行之有效的方法。在答题时，我们可以：读首句抓大意；读尾句抓大意；读首尾段抓大意。3.) 无明显主题句时高频信息词，任一篇文章都是围绕某个主题展开的，因此，有的文章中最明显的特点之一是有一个反复出现的中心词，即高频词，也叫做主题词。抓住了它，便容易抓住文章的中心。比如小题4，通读全文可知，本文主题为“The importance of the ordinary in history,（历史中普通人的重要性）”各段落紧扣主题内容，论证了作者在本文中的观点普通人是很重要的。故选B。DHistory is full of tales of great ideas taking shape in sleeping minds； Paul McCartney said that he awoke with the tune of Yesterday in his head, and Robert Louis Stevenson said that the idea for The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde came to him in a dream.Scientists believe that the mind at night puts together bits of information in creative ways. Throughout the day your brain rarely gets a chance to stop and think. It constantly responds to a stream of challenges, from writing a report for a work deadline to remembering where you left your car keys and figuring out what to buy for dinner.“Think of your brain like a web, says Russell Foster, Professor of Neuroscience at Oxford University. During the day the web is very tight, so you can only put information in a certain number of places. During sleep the web expands, and with the luxury of time, those bits of information can be put into lots of different places and make new associations.He adds that this process may help to foster the formation of new ideas. This bringing together of seemingly unrelated bits of information is vital to helping the brain think itself out of problems,” says Russell Foster.Sleep seems to allow your mind to make non-obvious connections. It puts all the information from the day into a big biological theatre and forces the mind to speak to people at the back of the theatre, who you may not think you have any connection with. This is the basis of creativity connecting ideas, events and memories that wouldnt normally fit together.By placing volunteers into brain scanners and sending them to sleep, scientists have seen that the areas associated with emotion go into overdrive, especially while dreaming, while the areas that are responsible for logic (逻辑)are switched off. This not only explains why dreams are unbelievably random-you can be talking to a colleague one minute and the next minute sitting in your old school classroom dressed in your nightclothesbut also explains how the brain can put together different information.12. In what way are the mind at night and the mind during the day different?A. The ways to receive information.B. The ways to provide information.C. The ways to process information.D. The ways to exchange information.13. According to Russell Foster, what may bring out creativity?A. Information put together in normal ways.B. Information put together in unusual ways.C. Information stored in a biological theatre.D. Information stored in the mind.14. Which can replace go into overdrive, underlined in the last paragraph?A. Start being active.B. Return to normal.C. Stop working.D. Perform badly.15. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. The Creative Power of the BrainB. Great Works from SleepC. Never Believe Your Sleeping MindsD. Sleep Can Bring Creative
