分析 這是一篇社會文化類閱讀，主要介紹的是幾種不同的學(xué)習(xí)障礙癥，比如言語障礙癥：指他們很難理解別人的語言表達式及其意義；閱讀障礙癥：指一個人發(fā)現(xiàn)很難區(qū)分字母或相似的詞之間的混淆，在嚴(yán)重的情況下，患者會發(fā)現(xiàn)分辨某些字母是極難的；書寫障礙癥：指一個人的運動神經(jīng)不能被有效地操控，不能在書面結(jié)構(gòu)上系統(tǒng)地闡述等．最后又說明了這種癥狀的造成原因有多種而且若不及時治療會伴隨患者一生．
解答 32．C 推理判斷題．根據(jù)題干聯(lián)系文中第一段Various terms are used to classify them and a person can have one or more than one kind of learning disability．意為各種各樣的術(shù)語被用來區(qū)分它們，而且一個人可能會有一種或者幾種不同的學(xué)習(xí)障礙，再聯(lián)系前后語境語義得知 them 指的是學(xué)習(xí)障礙，故選C．
33．D 細節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)題干中的dyslexia可定位到文中的第三段This refers to the problem in reading以及it is in a severe form where a person finds it extremely difficult to tell apart certain letters．可知閱讀障礙癥是指在閱讀上有一定困難，比如，嚴(yán)重的話可能是無法區(qū)分某些信件．再聯(lián)系選項，故選D．
34．C 推理判斷題．根據(jù)文中最后一段Research has found causes of these problems arising from complications，during birth，from complicated genetic combinations 研究發(fā)現(xiàn)造成這些問題的原因是一些在出生時或是由基因所導(dǎo)致的并發(fā)癥，可知學(xué)習(xí)障礙可由多種原因?qū)е拢珻選項符合文意，而其他選項與文意不符，故選C．
35．C 主旨大意題．縱觀全文，可知文章主要介紹了幾種不同的學(xué)習(xí)障礙癥，分別是言語障礙癥：指他們很難理解別人的語言表達式及其意義；閱讀障礙癥：指一個人發(fā)現(xiàn)很難區(qū)分字母或相似的詞之間的混淆，在嚴(yán)重的情況下，患者會發(fā)現(xiàn)分辨某些字母是極難的；書寫障礙癥：指一個人的運動神經(jīng)不能被有效地操控，不能在書面結(jié)構(gòu)上系統(tǒng)地闡述等．即作者對這幾種分別作了簡短介紹，故選C．
點評 這是一篇社會文化類閱讀，題目涉及多到細節(jié)理解題，做題時結(jié)合原文和題目有針對性找出相關(guān)語句進行仔細分析，結(jié)合選項選出正確答案．推理判斷也是要在抓住關(guān)鍵句子的基礎(chǔ)上合理的分析才能得出正確的答案．
