1、英语听力Rose farm Thanksgiving autism 玫瑰农场感恩自闭症 From CNN, July,2012 导语： 4月是美国自闭症(autism)宣传月,其目的是教育人们了解这一医学障碍及关于孤独症群体的问题,自闭症实际上是一系列的发育障碍,他们通常出现在患者3岁前,症状因人而异,但所有自闭症障碍影响着人与人之间的交流和互动。据上个月公布的报告显示,疾病控制和预防中心估计大约每88位8岁的孩子中有一位会被检查出患有自闭症,这些疾病男孩的发病率要比女孩们高5倍。鉴于成人自闭症患者难以找到一份工作来谋生的现状，一家玫瑰农场成为一个专为自闭症患者开设的就业中心。 插图： 原文：

6、th the help of a few charitable grants, Roses for autism is now helping young adults with autism improve their lives. And Penchbacks rose farm is also back, producing close to 1 million flowers per year. 注释： autism n. 自闭症 fierce adj. 激烈的 legacy n. 遗产 dent n. 减少 staggering adj. 惊人的 stereotypes n. 成见
7、charitable adj. 慈善的 grant n. 补助金 听力点拨： 1.在同一意群内，如果前词的词尾和后词的词首都是元音，口语中为了发音方便，有些情况下，两个元音中间会有一个微弱的加音。若前词以i或i:结尾，后词词首又是元音的话，两次中间会加一个微弱的j来过渡。例如本片第一句话中finding a job can be a very difficult struggle，其中be 和a之间就加了一个微弱的j音。 2.本片中出现多个人名。注意区分人名也是听力里的一个难点。尽管我们无需记住所有类型的人名，但需要多练习多积累，起码要突破其对句意理解的干扰。推荐方法是，在同一文中作为主语出现
8、多次，有可能是人名。如本片中的Penchback。另外，其中的一部分是你熟知的人名，如本片中的Tom, Jenny等，那么紧挨着它的有可能是此人姓名的另一部分。 3.turninto意为“将变为”这个短语的特别之处在于，它可以可以主动表示被动，例如：His worry turned into fury.他由烦恼变成了大怒。 4.句子A family friend, worried about his own autistic sons future, helped reshape Penchbacks legacy.里的worried about his own autistic sons f
9、uture作为friend的后置定语，插入了句子的主干A family friend helped reshape Penchbacks legacy.中间，注意区分，否则会影响整体句子的理解。 5.遇到合成词时，可以用已知的单个词来推断其意思。non-profit可以分为non和profit，non为否定词，profit意为盈利，所以non-profit的意思是非盈利。 参考译文： 嗯,自闭症经常在童年时期被诊断出，而且这是 一种终身障碍,目前没有治愈的良药,而对于成人自闭症患者而言，找到一份工作就变得非常艰难。珍妮塞姆报道有一家企业想要帮助这些患者。汤姆平克贝克从来没想到自己将家人的玫瑰农
10、场变成一个专为自闭症患者开设的就业中心。激烈的国际竞争迫使他们早早关闭了由他的曾祖父一手创造开始的农场，一位家庭的朋友担心他自己患有自闭症的儿子的未来，于是帮助塑造平克贝克整理遗产,现在他正在一家非盈利组织工作,这样才能超越残疾为减少在美国人患有自闭症高达88%的失业率而努力。我希望来到我们这里的人们，他们学习需要学习的精益技能，让我们帮助他们，在他们在住的地方的社区找到一份工作，希望是一种职业。威尔斯，这位18岁的自闭症患者是玫瑰园的雇员，他和他的母亲桑德拉称潜在的雇主应该放下成见，因为这可能阻止他们雇佣那些自闭症患者，我只相信自闭症，因为那帮助过我，我学会了一种特定的方式，大多数人并不真的
