Thirty years ago, when Christian Boer was first learning how to read while growing up in the Netherlands, he made a lot of mistakes. His teacher didn’t【C1】______ his challenges to what would eventually be diagnosed as dyslexia — she just told Boer to try harder, and even【C2】______ called him lazy and stupid.
Fortunately,【C3】______ of dyslexia is much higher these days, and most of us have some vague sense that dyslexics see the letter "b" as "d" or "p". Yet it’s still common to assume that we can train dyslexic children out of their【C4】______ or that they’ll eventually outgrow the affliction.
But, says Boer, that’s not the【C5】______ at all. "Dyslexia is a lifelong neurological condition," he says. "You can explain the difference between letters to me today,【C6】______ it won’t change how I see them tomorrow. To understand it helps to read research that says dyslexia is the【C7】______ of autism. In autism, the brain makes【C8】______ connections — which makes people hyper-focused and great at rote tasks — while dyslexics make more associations between everything."
Dyslexic individuals experience the world three-dimensionally — not just with letters, but with【C9】______. Paradoxically, they read more slowly, but think more quickly. Their 【C10】______ thinking leads many of them to become artists and "visionary" thinkers who end【C11】______ inventing things, or starting their own businesses. Dyslexics have 【C12】______ distinguishing between left and right, or up and down, which isn’t exactly a huge problem in our 3D world. But when it comes to letters on a【C13】______ page, a persistently tipped over letter has a different meaning than its mirror image.
As Boer grew older, awareness of dyslexia started to spread, and he was eventually lucky【C14】______ to have been taught by compassionate educators who understood his 【C15】______ and nurtured his learning experience. He even went on to pursue graduate design school, where for his thesis project, he decided to create something that would make his own life【C16】______: a font called Dyslexie, designed to counteract the singular neurological perceptions of dyslexic individuals. For Boer, the font works so well that before reading almost any text sent to him over E-mail or in a document, he lays it【C17】______ in Dyslexie first.
The font has received a lot of【C18】______, mostly because【C19】______ suggests that it’s effective, and because Boer has made the font available for free. Already, many educators and businesses make use of Dyslexie — in fact, Project Literacy recently integrated the typeface into its logo. Boer【C20】______an anecdote from one of his design clients. "They were creating an animated commercial and hired a dyslexic voice-over artist to narrate it. He wanted to be able to read the script fast enough to match the video’s pace, so he asked them to lay it out in Dyslexie first," says Boer.
【C8】
选项
A、more
B、fewer
C、little
D、less
答案
B
解析
本题考查语法搭配。本句中associations与connections是同义词,均意为“关联”。while一词将前后句意形成对比,可推断出此句意为“自闭症者建立的关联较少”。词义辨析:首先,通过文意排除more,再根据比较级的结构形式需求排除little,最后fewer用来修饰可数名词复数,而less修饰不可数名词。此处connections为复数形式,故选择fewer最为恰当。
