问题     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.
【C1】
选项 A、contribute
B、attribute
C、owe
D、refer
答案B
解析 文中后半句表示老师只是让布尔再努力一点，并且会言语辱骂他，推测老师并没有将他的困难联想到疾病，attribute…to…意为“将……归因于”，符合句意，因此选B项。contribute to意为“有利于，有助于”；owe…to意为“把……归功于”；refer…to意为“把……介绍给”。
