    My youngest son has a severe form of autism (自闭症). Even though he is in his twenties now, he still has the mind of a young child.

He speaks only a few words. He is lost in his own world most of the time. Things I find silly delight him and little changes that wouldn’t bother me at all bother him greatly. He will tear things up and cry for no reason that I can see. He will even hit himself.

It always hurts me to see him suffer this way especially when there is little I can do. This morning was particularly trying for him. He tore up a new shirt I’d bought him and cried on and off for an hour. Finally he calmed down again. However, I was still feeling stressed and exhausted. I sat down before my computer to see if I could get a little work done.

As I was turning it on, though, I heard my son laugh for the first time all day. I turned my head and saw him standing directly under the glass angel hanging from our ceiling fan. The light from our house lamps seemed to shine all around him like a gold ring. His eyes shone too as the little angel swung gently above his head. He laughed again and smiled at me, saying, “Mom, I love you”.

At that moment my heart opened. I could see that the miracle (奇迹) was reminding me that my son was more than his autism. I instead saw the shining soul within. I saw the love and light of his spirit and knew he was here for a purpose. My eyes watered and I feel grateful for this minor miracle and gentle reminder of his love for me.

Miracles are all around usbut we can’t always see them with our eyes. We often have to see them with our hearts. Keep your heart open to them then. And let yourself be the miracle you were meant to be!

1.What do we know about the author’s son?

A.Little changes seldom bother him.

B.His physical condition is very good.

C.He treats others rudely and impolitely.

D.He isn’t mature for his age.

2.What does the underlined word “trying” in paragraph 3 mean?

A.Interesting. B.Puzzling.

C.Annoying. D.Embarressing.

3.Why were the author’s eyes full of tears?

A.Because she saw her son’s love for her.

B.Because the little angel comforted her son.

C.Because the light from lamps seemed to shine.

D.Because she heard her son’s laughter for the first time.

4.What is the best title for the text?

A.The glass angel is swinging B.Disease can be cured accidentally

C.The happiness lies in waiting D.Miracles come with open heart

 

1.D 2.C 3.A 4.D 【解析】 这是一篇记叙文,文章讲述了,作者患有严重自闭症的小儿子在看到一只挂在吊扇下的玻璃天使后,病情奇迹般好转的故事。 1. 细节理解题。由第一段“My youngest son has a severe form of autism (自闭症) . Even though he is in his twenties now, he still has the mind of a young child.”(我的小儿子患有严重的自闭症。尽管他现在20多岁了,但他的头脑仍然像个小孩子。)可知作者认为就年龄而言,儿子心智还不成熟。故选D项。 2. 词义猜测题。由第三段中的“This morning was particularly trying for him. He tore up a new shirt I’d bought him and cried on and off for an hour.”(今天早上对他来说特别烦人。他撕碎了我给他买的新衬衫,断断续续地哭了一个小时。)可知这个早晨对儿子来说很烦人,所以撕了衬衫,又哭了,trying在此处意为“烦人的”。故选C项。 3. 细节理解题。由倒数第二段中的“My eyes watered and I feel grateful for this minor miracle and gentle reminder of his love for me.”(我的眼睛湿润了,我为这个小小的奇迹和他温柔地提醒他对我的爱感到感激。)可知作者的眼里充满了泪水是因为她看到了儿子对她的爱。故选A项。 4. 主旨大意题。由最后一段“Miracles are all around us,but we can’t always see them with our eyes. We often have to see them with our hearts. Keep your heart open to them then. And let yourself be the miracle you were meant to be!”(奇迹就在我们身边,但我们不能总是亲眼看到它们。我们常常要用心去看。那就对他们敞开心扉吧。让自己成为你命中注定的奇迹!)可知奇迹常常围绕着我们,我们要用心才能看见它们,要敞开心扉面对奇迹,D项“敞开心扉,奇迹会来临”符合文意。故选D项。
