Janice Fialka showed a new documentary (纪录片) about her cognitively (认知地) disabled son at schools and seminars across the country.Everyone seemed to enjoy it,but one comment from a teacher proved her family’s investment to Fialka was a success.
“In Baltimore an early childhood teacher came up and said,‘I have to apologize to the family of a 4­year old with Down Syndrome (先天愚型),’”Fialka said.“She said,‘I told them to be more realistic about their dreams for him.Now I have to tell them I’m sorry.’”
The story of Micah Fialka­Feldman,a 22­year­old Oakland University student,is meant to show parents,educators and the disabled anything is possible.
Fialka­Feldman wrote in an essay titled “I wanted to go to college and my dream came true”.A lot of people didn’t think he could go to college,but because family and friends believed in him he learned how to take public transportation to campus and found teachers who helped him pick the best classes.
The title of the film Through the Same Door came from a day when Fialka­Feldman,who was enrolled in a first grade special education program,told his parents he wanted to walk through the same door as the rest of the kids at his school.It led him to becoming the first student with cognitive disabilities in mainstream classrooms in Berkley.
Though he can’t read or write on his own,Fialka­Feldman reached amazing heights with the help of voice recognition computer software,tutors,and the embrace (接受) of his community.
At Berkley High School,Fialka­Feldman won the Social Studies Department Award for civic (公民的) involvement.In 2004 he received the Michigan “Yes,I Can” award for self­advocacy (自强).
He finished high school in 2003 with a certificate of attendance,took a 10­day trip through Israel with friends last year,and enrolled at Oakland University through the Transitions Program,which is geared (使适合于) to help the disabled go from high school to college.
Fialka said he’s the happiest kid in the world.Everyone should be so happy.
小题1:What would be the best title for the passage?
A.Disabled Man Living His Dream
B.Nothing Is Impossible
C.Don’t Look Down Upon the Disabled
D.Through the Same Door
小题2:What the early childhood teacher said suggests that________.
A.disabled people should be realistic about their dreams
B.she used to believe we should not expect much from disabled people
C.she hadn’t given the 4­year old with Down Syndrome enough attention

小题3:Which of the following is NOT true about Fialka­Feldman?
A.He was the first cognitively disabled student in mainstream classrooms in Berkley.
B.He went to school by public transportation and was helped to pick up classes.
C.He benefited from computer software and other people.
D.He received the “Yes,I Can” award for civic involvement and self­advocacy

b.His documentary was shown and welcomed.

e.He enrolled at Oakland University through the Transitions Program.
A.a­c­d­e­bB.b­a­c­d­e
C.c­d­e­a­bD.c­d­b­e­a

小题1:A
小题2:B
小题3:D
小题4:C

小题1: A
解析 主旨大意题。文章介绍“智障”青年Fialka­Feldman自强不息,实现自己的大学梦的故事,因此A项恰如其分地反映了文章的主题。
小题2: B
解析 推理判断题。这位老师告诉“智障”儿童的父母要实事求是地对待孩子的梦想,不要对他期望太高。但看了纪录片以后,她认识到自己错了,这说明她原来认为不应该对“智障”儿童抱太大期望。
小题3: D
解析 细节理解题。由文章倒数第三段内容可知,D项与文章信息不符,civic involvement是他获得另一个奖项的原因。
小题4:C
解析 细节理解题。根据文章的叙述可知,Fialka­Feldman上一年级应该排在第一个,纪录片上映应该排在最后。故C项正确。

A man, who sometimes takes my bus, is in rags. His life seems different from that of the others. He looks exhausted and carries nothing. He appears along a downtown street, seemingly out of nowhere. We sometimes want to know where he sleeps at night.
A few weeks ago he boarded the bus. A few stops later, a young woman boarded. She swiped (刷) her bus-card, only to find the machine would not accept it. The driver told her to pay the $2.25 fare. “I just bought this card,” she said. “I paid the money...”
The driver said she could take the card back to the sales office and explain the problem. In the meantime she would have to pay the fare for that day. The woman became confused and distressed. The rest of us just watched, wondering how the problem would be solved. Suddenly the man rose from his seat, dropped a few coins into the fare box.
“You’re lucky,” the bus driver said quietly. “He paid for you.” Silence fell over the bus. The rest of us had watched the woman’s discomfort, but he felt it. We lawyers, journalists and business people headed downtown to help fix the world. He fixed her world.
I haven’t seen him since that day. Some people believe angels occasionally drop down and move among us. All I know is that I have a new respect for the simple act of kindness. It speeds us along on our way.
小题1:According to the first paragraph, the author _______.
A.thinks highly of the manB.often gives the man some help
C.knows the man very wellD.considers the man strange

My husband Jeff and I moved into our new home in Scottsbluff last year just before Christmas. I did not have the        or energy to carry out my traditional Christmas decorating and baking activities. What was the point, anyway? It was going to be a        Christmas after all.
     , the neighborly nature of west Nebraska residents started to trickle (陆续来临) in.
There was a        on the door one evening. It was Jeff’s new colleague, John Smith, and his wife, Phyllis. The Smiths had stopped by to        us to town with a loaf of homemade bread. They pointed out a       on the porch (门廊). Apparently the doorbell wasn’t working in the cold snowy weather and we had        a visit from the Browns, our across-the-street neighbors, who brought us a Christmas card and more Christmas cookies.
The        feelings brought by these thoughtful gestures lasted longer than the food.
As Jeff and I were clearing pre-Christmas        from our driveway, Ernie Guzman came over from next door to        us to dig out.
Then, we received an invitation to        a Christmas Eve meal with our neighbors, Ernie and Nancy Sommer, and their       —a 90-year-old lady, who also had no family in the immediate area with whom to spend the holiday.
Our Christmas Eve was quite merry, thanks to our       . Our Christmas morning        was special, thanks to the Smiths’ gift of bread. I was so       for these gestures of welcome, especially during the holidays.
This year, we were again unable to be with our families for Christmas. The        and work schedules just made things too difficult.        that sense of Christmas isolation (孤立) all too well, we decided to try to round up some other folks who were        in the holidays.
Lonely people are all around us, but most of us        notice them. Just take a look around you. Sometimes, the smallest        gesture can make a world of difference.

The day of my holiday arrived, but I wasn’t looking forward to it. I had little money and had only been able to afford to stay with my Aunt Rosa in Spain. So, I wasn’t really excited as I knew exactly what it was going to be like: lots of noisy cousins , and Aunt Rosa begging me to take her for a ride.
After I had checked in, I made my way slowly to the departure gate. As I was waiting to board the plane, I kept thinking about my ideal holiday destination: Jamaica, with its long, sandy beaches and crystal clear water.
As soon as the plane took off, I fell fast asleep and only woke to the sound of the announcement: “Ladies and gentlemen, please fasten you seat belts, as we will shortly be landing in Kingston.” I froze in my seat. Was I dreaming? Kingston? Jamaica? I had boarded the wrong plane!
Immediately after the plane landed, I explained the situation to the authorities. It seems there were also three other passengers heading for Spain. Apparently it had been the airline’s fault, since the flight numbers for Spain and Jamaica were exactly the same! Therefore, with no flight back to London for a week, the airline had no choice but to pay for our stay.
So there I was, lying on the beach, enjoying the music and the marvelous food of Jamaica! As for Aunt Rosa, I suppose she just had to live without me!
小题1:Why did the writer choose to spend her holiday with her aunt in Spain?
A.She missed her cousins very much.
B.Her aunt begged her to go there.
C.She could hardly afford any better trip.
