学习能力 学习策略 Before Elea Abisamra went to college, her school years were focused on her love of writing. Using a self-publishing service, Abisamra published her first book in the fifth grade. Because of this, she felt seen and heard, which was something she longed to share with other kids. This idea gradually grew.
Once Abisamra became a college student studying neuroscience(神经科学), she followed her love of science and writing. With new resources and chances, her earlier dream took form. In the summer of 2022, she set up a nonprofit organization(非营利组织)called Kids Can Write. Its first programme started that fall with 15 students from Gilbert Linkous Elementary School, and allowed students to create and publish a story on a topic of their choice.
“I love science, but I feel there is always a mindset where people think, ‘You may be a doctor or an engineer one day.’ In my mind, storytelling is the thread(线)between everything,” said Abisamra. “You can be a scientist but you also have to communicate and you need to communicate effectively. You have to use scientific methods, which is like planning your story. Stories are everywhere.”
In January 2024, Abisamra created a new programme that taught students about the brain through storytelling. She included her neuroscience schoolmates as instructors. They supported the programme by teaching lessons on brainscience and helping students create their own understanding of the scientific ideas.
Karen Schendel, an elementary school director, said Kids Can Write is very popular with both students and parents. “One student told me she had been working on a story in her head before she even knew about the class, and that she was very excited to turn it into a real book. I get the sense that kids have stories to tell, and they love the idea of sharing their stories with others,” said Schendel.
Looking forward, Abisamra hopes to see Kids Can Write widen its influence worldwide. For now, she continues to spread the word in the hope of encouraging others to join her cause.
“The more partners we have, the more we can do. I want this to be big,” said Abisamra.

答案
6~10 BADAC
【文章大意】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了 Elea Abisamra 在五年级的时候就出版了自己的第一本书，当她上大学学习神经科学时，她成立了 Kids Can Write 这个非营利组织，帮助学生创作故事并出版。
6. B 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“... Abisamra published her first book in the fifth grade. Because of this, she felt seen and heard, which was something she longed to share with other kids. This idea gradually grew.”和第二段中的“Its first programme... allowed students to create and publish a story on a topic of their choice.”可知，Abisamra 通过出版书籍感到自己被看到和听到，她也想与其他孩子分享这种体验，这个组织帮助学生就自己选择的主题创作和发表故事。由此可推测出，她创立 Kids Can Write 这个非营利组织是想要帮助孩子实现自己的写作梦想。故选 B。
易错点拨 A 选项“和孩子们分享她的写作技巧”并没有在文章中提及，Kids Can Write 这个组织的重点是给孩子们分享自己的故事的平台，A 项错误；C 选项“号召孩子们加入慈善团体”的意思是让孩子们成为志愿者，做慈善，文章中没有提及，C 项错误；D 选项“寻找支持科学学习的方法”，根据第三段“You have to use scientific methods, which is like planning your story. Stories are everywhere.”可知 Elea Abisamra 认为讲故事是一种锻炼有效的科学沟通的方法，这只是讲故事的好处之一，并非她成立该组织的目的，D 项错误。
7. A 句意猜测题。根据第三段中的“You have to use scientific methods, which is like planning your story. Stories are everywhere.”可知，成为科学家还要具备有效沟通的能力，而有效沟通需要使用科学的方法，这和设计故事有异曲同工之处。由此可知，讲故事需要设计故事，将不同部分串联、连接起来，因此 Elea Abisamra 认为讲故事可以锻炼科学的沟通。画线句表达了她的观点，即讲故事将不同领域连接起来。故选 A。
8. D 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“In January 2024, Abisamra created a new programme that taught students about the brain through storytelling.”可知，这个新项目通过讲故事的方式向学生传授大脑知识，即把讲故事用作教学方式。故选 D。
9. A 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“I get the sense that kids have stories to tell, and they love the idea of sharing their stories with others”可知，Karen Schendel 认为孩子们想要把自己的故事分享出来，一名学生在了解这门课之前就已经构思了一个故事，而这个项目帮助她将自己的故事出版，由此可推测出，这个非营利组织能够满足学生表达的需求。故选 A。
10. C 观点态度题。根据第一段中的“Using a self-publishing service, Abisamra published her first book in the fifth grade.”和第四段中的“In January 2024, Abisamra created a new programme that taught students about the brain through storytelling.”可知，她出版了自己写的书，而且她还在新项目中通过讲故事的方式给学生讲授大脑知识，这说明她是一个具有创造性的人。根据最后一段中的“Looking forward, Abisamra hopes to see Kids Can Write widen its influence worldwide.”可知，她希望自己创立的 Kids Can Write 组织能够在全球扩大影响力，说明她是一个很有志向的人。故选 C。
