第Ⅱ卷 语篇综合训练
(一)阅读理解
A
Like many others who are autistic (患自闭症的), Bobby Latheron has known for most of his life that there was something that made him different from his peers.As a child, he often preferred spending time with adults.
Throughout school, Bobby struggled.He suffered from panic attacks that would cause him to run out of the room crying, which made teachers view him as a “naughty child”.Then, at around 13 years old, he was officially diagnosed (诊断) with autism.But because autism was still so misunderstood, this didn’t improve his situation by much.
Still, Bobby persevered and made it to university.But after a while, he struggled academically here, too.Things were looking up when he switched to art, design, and photography, but he simply couldn’t do it.That’s when a kind teacher changed his life for the better.
“I was telling one of the music teachers about my life with autism — my relationships and my struggles,” Bobby tells InspireMore.“She said, ‘Why don’t you write a book about your life?’ So I did.”
This is how My World in My Words by Bobby Latheron came to be.When writing this book, Bobby remained incredibly focused.Finding the inspiration to write his first book has changed Bobby’s life in so many ways.He’s met others who are like himself; plus, he’s even managed to secure a job he loves.He’s even given multiple interviews for various news and radio stations.Best of all, this new direction in life has given Bobby the opportunity to help others like him to feel less alone and, in doing so, he’s proven to himself that he’s far more capable than he once believed.
“I’m not here to say it’s always been perfect and that I haven’t made mistakes,” Bobby tells InspireMore, “but you have to learn in life.”

A voice reaches us, crying out from the depths of a silence: “I am alive, I can think, and no one has the right to deny me these two realities.”
The words were conveyed by a flicker (跳动) of the left eyelid. It came from a book, The Diving Bell and the Butterfly, by a former journalist, Jean⁃Dominique Bauby. He worked for journals like Le Quotidien de Paris and Paris Match. For four years until December 1995, he was the very successful chief editor of Elle.
Then the unthinkable happened. A cardiovascular (心血管的) accident sent him into a deep coma (昏迷). His brain remained undamaged, but its connection to his body left him with only the ability to blink his left eyelid.The poor man was found to be suffering from the rare disease “Locked⁃in Syndrome”, unable to breathe or eat without assistance.
In this body, however, his brain was working wildly, trying to make people understand what he was thinking. With the help of a specialized nurse, Claude Mendibil, he was able to write his book, using only his ability to blink at the most frequently used letters of the alphabet.
He would spend most of the night editing his thoughts and composing sentences. It took him about 200,000 blinks to write his book of more than 100 pages. In it, Bauby describes his paralyzed (瘫痪的) existence as being trapped in an old⁃fashioned deep⁃sea diving bell while the “butterflies” of his mind fly freely.
One would expect a formal factual report from this process, but that is not the case. The book unfolds through flowing images that illuminate his dilemma. The style is clear and fresh, and not without elegance, imagination and humor.
He is also in search of past time, of memory itself, of the books he had read and the poems he had learnt by heart. Even sadder, he thinks of all the books he wanted to read and hadn’t gotten to. He has to listen to someone else reading them to him. He recalls meals, a horse race, his life and work as an editor, and his struggle in his hospital bed to twitch (抽动) his nose when a fly lands on it.
“From this adversity comes a great message of life and hope,” said Antoine Audouard, a friend of Bauby’s and the book’s publisher.
语篇解读:本文是一篇记叙文。一位患有一种罕见病“闭锁综合征”的作家与病魔斗争,最终把自己的故事用优美的语言写成一本书展示给世人,传递出他不屈不挠的精神。

解析:选C 推理判断题。根据第四段“With the help of a specialized nurse, Claude Mendibil, he was able to write his book, using only his ability to blink at the most frequently used letters of the alphabet.”可知,Bauby即使在瘫痪的情况下也没放弃写书,可见他意志力超强。C选项“Strong⁃willed (意志坚强的)”是用来描述Bauby的最佳词汇。
