51、 same goes for anyone else with disabilities. The boy in my class amazed me by what he was capable of doing. As the days went by, I started helping him instead of avoiding him.”（Melody向我展示了她如何和班里的其他同学一样优秀，以及如何让其他有残疾的人也一样优秀。我们班上一个男孩能做的事情令我感到惊讶，随着日子一天天过去，我开始帮助他，而不是躲着他）可知，Melody向大家证明了她能和班里其他人一样做得很好。作者班
52、里的那个男孩也以他的行为让作者感到惊讶。由此推知，很多时候残疾人也能做得像正常人一样好。故选C。【40题详解】推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Dear Sharon Draper, A lot of books have flashes of insight, but only few of them can open the readers mind and make them realize something new. Your book, Out of My Mind, filled me with those sparks.”（亲爱的Sharon Draper：很多书都有灵光一现的洞察力
53、，但它们中只有极少数可以打开读者的思维，让他们意识到一些新的东西。你的书Out of My Mind，让我心中充满了这样的火花）可知，Sharon Draper是Out of My Mind这本书的作者。由此推知，她很可能是一位作家。故选D。BAshok Gadgil has spent the past three decades helping people in needand he has no plans to stop .On May 2, Gadgil won the$100000 Lemelson-MIT Award for Global Innovation.
