Question

【題目】Amy Maplethorpe, a first-year speech-language teacher at Raymond Ellis Primary School, used tennis balls, a hot glue gun, Mod Podge and a bit of paint to create two chairs that help students with sensory (感官的) problems.

According to the school’s Facebook page, which became very popular, the chairs provide a “different texture (質(zhì)地) to improve sensory regulation (調(diào)控).”

Maplethorpe told ABC News that the chairs will service about 15 to 20 students. Children with sensory problems often have a hard time “dealing with sensory information”. Things, such as coats, blankets and Maplethorpe’s chairs, often comfort a student.

Maplethorpe was excited to create the chair after seeing something similar on a website, and she made some changes to the idea.

“I wanted to continue to help students with sensory problems at Ellis and provide a different kind of seat for the students,” she continued. “I was excited that this chair could help my students.’’

The two chairs are now in the school’s sensory room, which was created recently, according to headmaster, Beth Kiewicz.

“When a child’s sensory needs are met, we then can move on to their needs in study,” Kiewicz, who has led the school for six years, told ABC News.

Maplethorpe said the chairs have already made a difference for some of her students.

“Students have become more patient, and have followed directions, while waiting for activities,” she said.

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】C

【2】A

【3】B

【解析】文章介紹了Maplethorpe為幫助學生們提高感覺調(diào)控制造了兩把專門的椅子。

【1】C

細節(jié)推理題。根據(jù)第四段Maplethorpe was excited to create the chair after seeing something similar on a website, and she made some changes to the idea.可知，Maplethorpe是從網(wǎng)上看到了類似的東西，然后制造了這種網(wǎng)球椅。故選C。

【2】A

細節(jié)推理題。根據(jù)第二段the chairs provide a “different texture (質(zhì)地) to improve sensory regulation (調(diào)控).可知，這種椅子可以幫助學生們提高感覺調(diào)控，故選A。

【3】B

細節(jié)推理題。根據(jù)第五段“I wanted to continue to help students with sensory problems at Ellis and provide a different kind of seat for the students,” “I was excited that this chair could help my students.’’可知，這種椅子確實對學生們有幫助，故選B。

細節(jié)理解題屬直接解答性問題，是閱讀理解題中最簡單的一種，多數(shù)屬中低難度的題。但高考所占的比例大，應特別引起注意。事實和細節(jié)題的命題特點是：對文章或某一段落中的一些特定細節(jié)或文章重要事實的理解，一般包括直接理解題和語義轉(zhuǎn)化題。直接理解題能在原文直接找到答案，而語義轉(zhuǎn)化題則需要將題目信息與原文信息加工或整理后才能得出結(jié)論。

做細節(jié)理解題具體方法與步驟如下：

1.略讀材料，大概了解原文，掌握中心或主旨；文章介紹了Maplethorpe為幫助學生們提高感覺調(diào)控制造了兩把專門的椅子。

2.按文章的體裁，作者寫作的組織模式及有關(guān)的信息詞。如for example, first, second…等預測應該到何處尋找自己所需要的事實；

3.將精力放在尋找你所需要的細節(jié)上�？焖偻ㄆ�跳讀，全文掃視，找到細節(jié)出處，待找到含細節(jié)句子時，放慢速度，仔細核對比較內(nèi)容，直至找到答案。如小題1根據(jù)第四段Maplethorpe was excited to create the chair after seeing something similar on a website, and she made some changes to the idea.可知Maplethorpe是從網(wǎng)上看到了類似的東西，然后制造了這種網(wǎng)球椅。小題2根據(jù)第二段the chairs provide a “different texture (質(zhì)地) to improve sensory regulation (調(diào)控).可知，這種椅子可以幫助學生們提高感覺調(diào)控。小題3根據(jù)第五段“I wanted to continue to help students with sensory problems at Ellis and provide a different kind of seat for the students,” “I was excited that this chair could help my students.’’可知，這種椅子確實對學生們有幫助。
