Question

Goedeker's loves to see happy customers, so every year we host a drawing competition in January and July, and one lucky person receives an iPad Mini. Goedeker’s customers can enter the competition through many ways, such as sending product or customer reviews.

When I spoke to July’s drawing winner, I couldn’t believe the encouraging story behind her efforts. Sari Bailey entered the drawing competition in hopes of winning the iPad Mini for her blind granddaughter, Aubrey. Aubrey, soon-to-be 4 years old, was born with a rare condition called Septo-Optic Dysplasia. The condition, also known as De Morsier’s Syndrome, happens when the optic(視覺的) nerves do not develop fully before the baby is born. Aubrey once had an iPad Mini, given to her by the Gia Foundation, which provides an iPad Mini to the blind once a year. However, it was stolen, and her family did not know how they could replace it. The iPad was extremely important to Aubrey’s development, as she uses it for intensive therapy(強化治療). Each week, Aubrey works through an hour of physical and speech therapy.

While Aubrey may struggle with her sight, she loves music and plays the piano and sings fairly well for a three-year-old! As one can imagine, the iPad plays a huge role in this. She also finished her first year of school in May.

Sari says, "We are very happy for her progress. We like to have as many tools for learning as possible available to Aubrey, thus, my desire for the winning of the iPad Mini! She is a very special little girl and I love her dearly."

Here at Goedeker’s, we wish Aubrey the very best, and we hope she loves the new iPad Mini!

試題分析：Goedeker七月份繪畫比賽的獲勝者Sari Bailey。

1. 細節(jié)信息題。根據(jù)文章第二段第二句“Sari Bailey entered the drawing competition in hopes of winning the iPad Mini for her blind granddaughter, Aubrey.”可知，Sari Bailey參加這個繪畫比賽是希望為她眼盲的孫女Aubrey贏得一個iPad Mini.故該題正確答案為A.

2.Aubrey, soon-to-be 4 years old, was born with a rare condition called Septo-Optic Dysplasia. The condition, also known as De Morsier’s Syndrome, happens when the optic(視覺的) nerves do not develop fully before the baby is born.”可知，Aubrey不久就到4歲了，而她所患的疾病是由于其在母體里視覺神經(jīng)發(fā)育不完全造成的，也就是說她從出生就患了這種疾病，所以她患病將近有4年時間了。故該題正確答案為D.

3.B細節(jié)信息題。根據(jù)文章第二段中“The iPad was extremely important to Aubrey’s development, as she uses it for intensive therapy(強化治療).”可知，iPad對于Aubrey來說意義特殊在于，她得用它來進行強化治療。故該題正確答案為B.
