Janice Fialka showed a new documentary (紀(jì)錄片) about her cognitively (認(rèn)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 4?year 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 Fialka?Feldman，a 22?year?old Oakland University student，is meant to show parents，educators and the disabled anything is possible.

Fialka?Feldman 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 Fialka?Feldman，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，Fialka?Feldman reached amazing heights with the help of voice recognition computer software，tutors，and the embrace (接受) of his community.

At Berkley High School，Fialka?Feldman won the Social Studies Department Award for civic (公民的) involvement.In 2004 he received the Michigan “Yes，I Can” award for self?advocacy (自強(qiáng))．

He finished high school in 2003 with a certificate of attendance，took a 10?day trip through Israel with friends last year，and enrolled at Oakland University through the Transitions Program，which is geared (使適合于) 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.

【答案】

1.A

2.B

3.D

4.C

【解析】

1.

解析　主旨大意題。文章介紹“智障”青年Fialka?Feldman自強(qiáng)不息，實(shí)現(xiàn)自己的大學(xué)夢的故事，因此A項(xiàng)恰如其分地反映了文章的主題。

2.2】　B

解析　推理判斷題。這位老師告訴“智障”兒童的父母要實(shí)事求是地對待孩子的夢想，不要對他期望太高。但看了紀(jì)錄片以后，她認(rèn)識(shí)到自己錯(cuò)了，這說明她原來認(rèn)為不應(yīng)該對“智障”兒童抱太大期望。

3.3】　D

解析　細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由文章倒數(shù)第三段內(nèi)容可知，D項(xiàng)與文章信息不符，civic involvement是他獲得另一個(gè)獎(jiǎng)項(xiàng)的原因。

4.4】C

解析　細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章的敘述可知，Fialka?Feldman上一年級(jí)應(yīng)該排在第一個(gè)，紀(jì)錄片上映應(yīng)該排在最后。故C項(xiàng)正確。
