4．Dear Alfred，
I want to tell you how important your help is to my life．
Growing up，I had people telling me I was too slow，though，with an IQ of 150at 17，I'm anything but stupid．The fact was that I was found to have ADIID（注意力缺陷多动障碍）．Anxious all the time，I was unable to keep focused for more than an hour at a time．
However，when something did interest me，I could become absorbed．In high school，I became curious about the computer，and built my first website．Moreover，I completed the senior course of Computer Basics，plus five relevant pre-college courses．
While I was exploring my curiosity，my disease got worse．I wanted to go to college after high school，but couldn't..So，I was killing my time at home until June 2012when I discovered the online computer courses of your training center．
Since then，I have taken courses like Data Science and Advanced Mathematics．Currently，I'm learning your Probability course．I have hundreds of printer paper，covered in self-written notes from your video．This has given me a purpose．
Last year，I spent all my time looking for a job where，without dealing with the public，I could work alone，but still have a team to talk to．Luckily，I discovered the job-Data Analyst-this month and have been going full steam ahead．I want to prove that I can teach myself a respectful profession，without going to college，and be just as good as，if not better than，my competitors．
Thank you．You've given me hope that I can follow my heart．For the first time，I feel good about myself because I'm doing something，not because someone told me I was doing good．I feel whole．
This is why you're saving my life．
Yours，
Tanis

分析 这是一封书信．作者患有多动症，因为注意力不能集中，作者无法上大学．作者在家通过网络 自学了计算机知识，并找到了心仪的工作．作者认为自己能够和同龄人做得一样好．
解答 25．B．细节理解题．根据第四段"my disease got worse．I wanted to go to college after high school，but couldn：t"可知，"我"的多动症加重了，无法上大学，故选B．
26．A．细节理解题．根据倒数第三段"without dealing with the public"排除 B；根据"I could work alone，but still have a team to talk to．"可知，尽管我可以单独工作，但仍需与团队交流，故选A．
27．C．写作意图题．根据倒数第二段"Thank you．You've given me hope that I can follow my heart．Fot the first time，I feel good about myself"可知，作者写信的目的是表达感谢，故选C．
点评 考察学生的细节理解和推理判断能力，做细节理解题时一定要找到文章中的原句，和题干进行比较，再做出正确的选择．在做推理判断题不要以个人的主观想象代替文章的事实，要根据文章事实进行合乎逻辑的推理判断．
