【導(dǎo)語(yǔ)】本文是一篇說(shuō)明文，主要通過(guò)介紹患有誦讀困難癥的成功企業(yè)家來(lái)講誦讀障礙和創(chuàng)業(yè)優(yōu)勢(shì)之間的

關(guān)系。

【12題詳解】

推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段的“Allareorweresuccessfulentrepreneurswithdyslexia-alearningdisorderthat

makesitverydifficulttoread,write,andspell."（他們都是或曾經(jīng)是患有誦讀困難癥的成功企業(yè)家。誦讀困難

癥是一種學(xué)習(xí)障礙，使人很難讀、寫(xiě)和拼寫(xiě)。）可知，第一段提到一些患有誦讀困難癥的名人的目的是引出

誦讀障礙這個(gè)話題，故選D。

【13題詳解】

細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段“Andhisdyslexiaalsoforcedhimtodelegatetaskstothosewhoexcelledintheareas

wherehewasweak."（他的誦讀困難癥也迫使他把任務(wù)分派給那些在他的弱項(xiàng)上表現(xiàn)出色的人。）可知，閱

讀障礙迫使RichardBranson給人任命合適的職位，故選D?

【14題詳解】

推理判斷題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段"Dr.MariluGoi-no-TempiniofUCSanFranciscosaid,“Hecanunderstandwhat

可知，MariluGornoTempini博士認(rèn)為患有誦讀困難癥的人能比別人更了解人們的需求和情感，且Marilu

Gorno-Tempini博士和EleanorPalser是一個(gè)研究團(tuán)隊(duì)，因此MariluGorno-Tempini博士可能會(huì)同意誦讀困難

癥可能與移情方面的生物差異有關(guān)。故選A。

35題詳解】

主旨大意題。通讀全文，尤其是第一段的“Peoplewithdyslexiahavetroubleconnectingtheletterstheyseetothe

soundstheymakeandasaresult,oftenstruggleinschool.”（患有誦讀困難癥的人很難將他們看到的字母與他們

發(fā)出的聲音聯(lián)系起來(lái)，因此，他們?cè)趯W(xué)校里經(jīng)常會(huì)遇到困難。）和第二段的"Butintherealworld,theymake

【16題詳解】

前文ExtendingsouthfrompartsknownasMexicointoCentralAmerica（從墨西哥一直向南延伸到中美洲）"作

為狀語(yǔ)可推知，主句主語(yǔ)應(yīng)該是瑪雅。E項(xiàng)“自從重新發(fā)現(xiàn)瑪雅文明以來(lái)，它一直被神秘所包圍中主

語(yǔ)MayaCivilization符合題意，與題目TheMysteriesofTheMaya相呼應(yīng)。故選E項(xiàng)。

understanding,G項(xiàng)“瑪雅人對(duì)數(shù)學(xué)和天文學(xué)的理解也相當(dāng)驚人?！迸c后文敘述一致，符合題意。故選G項(xiàng)。

【18題詳解】

前文“ThefactthatMayasocietywastechnologicallyprimitivemakesitsachievementsalllhemoreincredibleand

mysterious.（瑪雅社會(huì)在技術(shù)上是原始的，這一事實(shí)使其成就更加不可思議和神秘）”提到了瑪雅社會(huì)的不可

思議和神秘。B項(xiàng)“但是最大的謎團(tuán)是什么導(dǎo)致瑪雅人放棄了他們大部分的偉大城市」進(jìn)一步說(shuō)明最大的

謎團(tuán)，前后邏輯一致，B項(xiàng)符合題意。故選B項(xiàng)。
