When my little boy, Skyler, was born, I longed for the day he would talk to me.My husband and I dreamed about the first sweet“Mama”or“Dada”．Every cry or coo was a small glimpse into my son's mind. My baby's noises were even more precious to me because Skyler had been born with several health problems.At first, the problems had delayed his development, but once they were safely behind us, I looked forward to my son's first words.They didn't come. At age three，Skyler was diagnosed as autistic(自闭症的)，a developmental disability destined to affect his social and emotional wellbeing throughout his entire life.Skyler couldn't talk—wouldn't talk.I would probably never hear any words from him at all.In a store, I would hear a child calling “Mommy”， and I would wonder if that was what my little boy might sound like.I wondered how it would feel to hear my child call out for me. But I could have learned to live with his silence if it weren't for another hallmark characteristic of autism：Skyler formed no attachments.He didn't want to be held, much preferring to lie in his bed or sit in his car seat.He wouldn't look at me; sometimes, he even looked through me. Once, when I took him to the doctor, we talked to a specialist who was of my size, age and who had the same hair color as me.When it was time to go, Skyler went to her instead of me—he couldn't tell us apart.When Skyler was three, he spent three days at Camp Courageous for disabled children in Iowa, and when he returned he didn't even recognize me. The pain was almost unbearable.My own son didn't even know I was his mother. I hid the pain, and we did the best we could for Skyler.We enrolled him in our local area educational agency preschool, where the teachers and speech pathologist worked hard to help Skyler connect with the world around him.They used pictures and computer voicemachines that spoke for him, and sign language.These devices gave me little glimpses of who Skyler was, even if he didn't understand who I was.“He will talk，” the speech pathologist insisted, but inside,_ I had given up hope. The one dream I couldn't let go was to have Skyler understand that I was his mom.Even if I never heard him say “Mom”， I wanted to see the recognition in his eyes. 只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力，才能尝到成功的滋味。 2 The summer of Skyler's fourth year was when it started.A smoldering (郁积的) ember of understanding in him sparked, and fanned by our efforts, steadily flamed.His first words were hardly recognizable, often out of context, never spontaneous.Then, slowly, he could point to an item and say a word.Then two words together as a request.Then spontaneous words.Each day, he added more and more recognizable words, using them to identify pictures and ask questions.We could see his understanding increase, till his eyes would seek out mine, wanting to comprehend. “You Mom？” he said one day. “Yes, Skyler, I'm Mom.” He asked his teachers and caregivers, “You Mom？” “No, Skyler, not Mom.” “You my Mom？” he said back to me. “Yes, Skyler, I'm your Mom.” And finally, a rush of understanding in his eyes, “You my Mom.” “Yes, Skyler, I'm your Mom.” If those had been Skyler's only words ever, they would have been enough for me：My son knew I was his mother. But Skyler wasn't done. One evening I leaned against the headboard on Skyler's bed, my arms wrapped around him.He was cozily tucked between my legs, our bodies warm and snug as I read to him from one of his favorite books—a typical affectionate(深情的) scene between mother and son, but because of Skyler's autism, one that I could never take for granted. I stopped reading.Skyler had interrupted me, leaning back his head so he could look me in the eyes. “Yes, Skyler？” And then the voice of an angel, the voice of my son, “I love you, Mom.” 【语篇解读】 本文真实地记录了作者作为一位自闭症孩子的母亲的心路历程。从发现孩子生病，到接受孩 子的各种病症，再到努力为孩子安排康复课程，最后孩子取得了可喜的进步，文章处处都流露出一位母亲对 孩子无私、深沉的爱。 1．According to the description of the author, we can learn that Skyler________． A．could easily have a cold B．usually preferred to stay alone C．could only recognize his doctor 只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力，才能尝到成功的滋味。 3 D．frequently lost temper 答案 B [考查细节理解。根据本文第四段和第五段的内容可知患 有自闭症的孩子不仅有语言障碍，在社交上也不喜欢与人接触，作者的儿子更喜欢一个人躺在床上或者坐在 车座上。] 2．The author felt the most heartbroken when ________． A．Skyler was diagnosed with autism B．a child in a store called her “Mommy” C.she realized Skyler didn't know who she was D．she found Skyler was born with several health problems 答案 C [考查细节理解。根据文章第七段的内容可知，作者感到 几乎无法承受的痛苦是因为自己的儿子不认识自己(妈妈)。] 3．What does the underlined sentence mean?

On the wall are maps, crisscrossed with brightly colors arrows that painstakingly track the fearsome path of the enemy. What kind of invader gives rise to such high-level monitoring? Not man, not beast, but the lowly desert locust(蝗虫). In recent months, billions of the 3-inch-long winged warriors have descended on Algeria, Libya, Morocco and Tunisia, blackening the sky and eating up crops and vegetation. The insect invasion, the worst in 30 years, is already creating great destruction in the Middle East and is now treating southern Europe. The current crisis began in late 1985 near the Red Sea. Unusually rainy weather moistened the sands of the Sudan, making them ideal seedbed for the locust, which lays its eggs in the earth. The insect onslaught threatens to create yet another African famine. Each locust can eat its weight (not quite a tenth of an ounce) in vegetation every 24 hours. A good-size swarm of 50 billion insects eats up 100,000 tons of grass, trees and crops in a single night. All ﹩150 million may be needed this year. The U.S. has provided two spraying planes and about 50,000 gal. of pesticide. The European Community has donated ﹩3.8 million in aid and the Soviet Union, Canada, Japan and China have provided chemical-spraying aircraft to help wipe out the pests. But relief efforts are hampered by the relative mildness of approved pesticides, which quickly lose their deadly punch and require frequent replications. The most effective locust killer dieldrin has been linked to cancer and is banned by many Western countries and some of the affected African nations. More than 5 million acres have been dusted with locust-killing chemicals; another 5 million will be treated by the end of June. On May 30, representatives of Tunisia, Algeria, Libya, Morocco and Mauritania will meet in Algiers to discuss tactics to wipe out the ravenous swarms. The move is an important step, but whatever plan is devised, the locust plague promised to get worse before the insects can be brought 只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力，才能尝到成功的滋味。 7 under control. 11.
