Question

【題目】A

Gavin Joseph, a teenager with Asperger’s Syndrome, was beaten up by a group of people for just being different. Asperger’s Syndrome is a developmental disorder that affects a person’s ability to socialize. But instead of putting them into prison for what they did to him, Gavin offered them a chance to become more tolerant and understanding.

On Thursday night, some kids were talking about how “it’s weird(怪異的)” that he is always by himself, attending events alone and watching people, and it was “creepy” that he wanted to be friends with people he didn’t know.

On Friday night, another kid that overheard that conversation decided to take matters into his own hands and become judge and jury, and this is the result of that. He didn’t ask questions, didn’t get to know Gavin, never met him, and didn’t give him a chance to leave. He was called to meet someone, surrounded by people he didn’t know, choked, punched(用拳猛擊), and left lying on the pavement so he would “l(fā)earn his lesson”.

Gavin emerged from the attack with a concussion(腦震蕩), a fractured nose, a bruised esophagus(食道) and some damage to his eye, but thankfully, none of the injuries resulted in permanent damage.

But here’s the truly amazing part — Gavin refused to press charges against the people who did this to him. Instead of wanting to see them punished, he wants to see them educated. Gavin asked that his attackers do community service that is disability-related. According to his mother, Gavin also asked “that they watch a 20 min video statement he taped while their families were present so they could see the damage they did and hear the event from his perspective.”

“If you are reading this, I hope you talk to your teens,” his mother wrote. “Tell them about disabilities you can’t see, teach them to be tolerant of people that are different, teach them that if they continuously see someone alone that maybe it is not their choice to be alone, remind them to ask questions first and get to know one another.”

【解析】

【文章大意】本文是一篇記敘文。一個(gè)阿斯伯格綜合癥患者被同學(xué)欺凌后的反應(yīng)讓人稱贊。

【1】C細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)首段第一、二句以及第二段第一句中的“he is always by himself”可知，Gavin因患有阿斯伯格綜合癥患而影響自己的社交能力（總是獨(dú)自一個(gè)人玩）。因此選C項(xiàng)。

【2】B詞義猜測題。根據(jù)第二段中“it’s weird(怪異的)”及“he wanted to be friends with people he didn’t know”可知，一些孩子認(rèn)為Gavin想和陌生人交朋友的行為很奇怪。因此答案為B項(xiàng)。

【3】B 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由第一段中的“was beaten up by a group of people for just being different”及第二、三段可知，Gavin僅僅因?yàn)楹蛣e人不同而被毆打。因此答案為B項(xiàng)。

【4】D細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由倒數(shù)第二段可知，Gavin想讓欺凌他的孩子們從這次事件中學(xué)到東西。因此答案為D項(xiàng)。

【5】B 推理判斷題。Gavin在被欺凌后不僅沒有粗暴地報(bào)復(fù)，反而想辦法讓欺負(fù)他的孩子們從這件事上有所收獲。再根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段首句“But here’s the truly amazing part — Gavin refused to press charges against the people who did this to him.”可推斷，他對待欺凌的方式值得稱贊。
