Kids with special needs refer to any kid who might need extra help because of medical, emotional, or learning problems. For example, disabled kids need wheelchairs. They not only need the equipment that helps them get around, but they might need to have ramps(斜坡) or elevators available. 36
Kids with an illness would have special needs, too. 37 Kids with sight problems might need Braille books to read. Kids with hearing problems might need hearing aids.
38 It might be harder to do normal things—like learning to read or just getting around school. The good news is that parents, doctors, nurses, teachers, and others can help. The goal is to help kids be as independent as possible.
Other kids also can be a big help. How? By being a friend. Kids who use a wheelchair or have lots of health problems want friends just as you do. But meeting people and making friends can be difficult. 39 Be sure to tell a teacher if you see someone being bullied(欺侮) or teased.
40 You might carry the person’s books or do something simple, such as asking him or her to join you and your friends at lunch. It’s also important not to be “overly helpful” when no help is needed. Why? Because just like you, kids with special needs like to be as independent as they can be.
Being friendly to kids with special needs is one of the best ways to be helpful. As you get to know, they may help you understand what it’s like to be in their shoes. And you’ll be helping fill a very special need, one that everybody has—the need for good friends.
A. Some kids might laugh at or make fun of them.
B. They also might need to get a special bus to school.
C. Life can be challenging for a kid with special needs.
D. It’s good manners to try to offer help to kids with special needs.
E. Also try to be helpful if you know someone with special needs.
F. Kids with special needs usually live a harder life than normal kids.
G. They might need medicine or other help as they go about their daily activities.
七选五 BGCAE 【语篇解读】 本文是一篇关于有特殊需要的孩子的文章。
36. B 语篇拓展型。本段为全文首段，主要解释“kids with special needs”的含义。根据前一 句的主语they, 我们首先想到B和G，但本处举例的是有残疾的孩子，显然G的关联度远远不及B，B承接首句，继续说明残疾孩子的特殊需要，also表示添加，与此处语境吻合。故选B.F有一定的干扰性但下文第三段专门讨论这一话题，若选F, 就会出现不必要的重复。
37. G 承上启下型。 根据首句可知，本段承接第一段继续说明“有特殊需要的孩子“不同情况，B和G与此关联。但对于”Kids with an illness”来说， G中的“medicine”显然比”get a special bus to school”更为合理，故选G.
38. C 主题型。根据本段下文可知，本段的话题为“有特殊需要的孩子的生活相对艰难”， C和F与此关联。 但F的主语与下句不一致， 让人感觉“话题的'中心变化太突然”，而C中的life显然与下句主语it一致，较好地保持话题一致，有利于突出“中心话题”， 故选C.
39. A承上启下型。从本段开始，文章就如何帮助“kids with special needs”进行说明。上句说：和人交往和交友，对于这些孩子来说，可能会有难度。原因何在？显然A是最好的解释或说明，且A中的“laugh at or make fun of “与下句的”bullied or teased”吻合，故选A.
40. E 主题型。分析本文的语篇结构可知，首段就“kids with special needs”的含义做出解释，第二段是就不同类型的情况做进一步的说明，第三段呼吁人们对这些孩子给予关爱和帮助。第四、五段则就如何帮助提出建议。本段的中心话题是如何帮助，D和E有关联，但D更像是评论，而不是指引，且E中的“to be helpful” 与下文一致，故选E。
