【文章大意】本文是记叙文。文章主要介绍了好心人帮一个可能患有自闭

症的小男孩更换便利鞋带的故事。

1．WhatcanwelearnaboutAsher?

aveautism.

eatedbadlyatschool.

winaspecialeducationclass.

ufferedfromautismforayear.

解析：A细节理解题。依据其次段中的Heisnowundergoingtestingtofindout

whetherhehasautism可知，Asher可能患有自闭症。

2．WhathappenedtoAsherlastTuesdayafterschool?

whisshoelacesaway.

eshadspeciallaces.

dtiehisshoelaces.

eswerereplaced.

解析：B细节理解题。依据文中的ThenlastTuesday,Ashercamehomefrom

schoolwithsomethingnewonhisfeet和Someoneatschoolhadreplacedthemwith

specialno-tielacesthatmakeiteasierforAshertokeephisshoeslacedup可知，Asher

上周二放学回家后，鞋上有着一对特殊的鞋带。

3．HowdidCarpentergettoknowTorricelli'skindbehavior?

解析：C细节理解题。依据文中的shepostedaphoto...toFacebook和Through

4．Whatdoestheunderlinedword“it”inthetextreferto?

elli'shelp.

influence.

gAsher.

gthemystery.

解析：A篇章结构题。依据上一段内容可知，Torricelli认为给Asher换鞋带

是举手之劳，没想到会对Asher的家庭产生巨大的影响。然而，这件事情对于Asher

的妈妈来说却是意义非凡。因此，划线词it指代上一段中的gettingAsherthelaces，

由此可知，it在此指Torricelli对Asher的挂念。
