Question

【题目】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(怪异的)” 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(用拳猛击), and left lying on the pavement so he would “learn his lesson”.

Gavin emerged from the attack with a concussion(脑震荡), 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】本文是一篇记叙文。一个阿斯伯格综合症患者被同学欺凌后的反应让人称赞。

【1】C细节理解题。根据首段第一、二句以及第二段第一句中的“he is always by himself”可知，Gavin因患有阿斯伯格综合症患而影响自己的社交能力（总是独自一个人玩）。因此选C项。

【2】B词义猜测题。根据第二段中“it’s weird(怪异的)”及“he wanted to be friends with people he didn’t know”可知，一些孩子认为Gavin想和陌生人交朋友的行为很奇怪。因此答案为B项。

【3】B 细节理解题。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仅仅因为和别人不同而被殴打。因此答案为B项。

【4】D细节理解题。由倒数第二段可知，Gavin想让欺凌他的孩子们从这次事件中学到东西。因此答案为D项。

【5】B 推理判断题。Gavin在被欺凌后不仅没有粗暴地报复，反而想办法让欺负他的孩子们从这件事上有所收获。再根据倒数第二段首句“But here’s the truly amazing part — Gavin refused to press charges against the people who did this to him.”可推断，他对待欺凌的方式值得称赞。
