1.（2016·北京）阅读下列短文：

A

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 150 at 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 2012 when 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 well. I feel whole.

This is why you’re saving my life.

Yours,

【意思】

亲爱的阿尔弗雷德,

我想告诉你你的帮助对我的生活有多重要。

在我成长的过程中，有人说我太慢了，不过，我17岁就有150的智商，一点也不笨。由于一直处于焦虑状态，我无法一次集中注意力超过一个小时。

然而，当我确实对某件事感兴趣时，我会全神贯注。在高中时，我对电脑产生了兴趣，并建立了我的第一个网站。此外，我还完成了计算机基础的高级课程，以及五门相关的大学预科课程。

当我探索我的好奇心时，我的病恶化了。高中毕业后我想上大学，但没能。所以我一直在家里消磨时间，直到2012年6月我发现了你们培训中心的在线计算机课程。

从那以后，我学习了数据科学和高等数学等课程。目前，我正在学习你的概率课程。我有几百张打印纸，上面都是你在视频里写的笔记。这给了我一个目的。

去年，我花了我所有的时间去寻找一份工作，在不与公众打交道的情况下，我可以独自工作，但仍然有一个团队可以交流。幸运的是，我在这个月发现了这份工作——数据分析员，并一直在全力工作。我想证明，我可以自学一门受人尊敬的职业，不用上大学，即使不比竞争对手更好，也可以和他们一样优秀。谢谢你。你给了我希望，我可以跟随自己的心。这是我第一次对自己感觉良好，因为我在做某件事，而不是因为别人说我做得很好。我觉得整体。

所以你才救我的命。

（1）细节理解题。根据第四段”my disease got worse. I want to go to college after high school, but I couldn’t”可知，“我”的多动症加重了，无法上大学，故选B。
