wall. “I can’t describe my frustration. I felt so helpless,” she says. “What I wanted was the help with my very bright daughter who had a problem with language.” She was slow to learn to talk and at 9 her reading and writing were still poor.
“We took her to psychologists and all sorts of experts, but for years nobody
seemed to be able to give us a proper diagnosis or know what to do.” But that changed this month when she heard a radio program about an exhibition called Genes Talking at the Institute of Contemporary Arts (ICA) in London. It was about a research project to discover a gene lined with a condition known as specific language impairment. “As soon as I heard it I knew that this was what I’d been looking for,” she says. “I wasn’t alone; I wasn’t mad. There was someone who understood my daughter.”
SLI covers speech and grammar problems suffered by children, the most familiar
of which is dyslexia (诵读困难). About 8 percent of children are recognized as dyslexic. But a similar number may be suffering from other forms of SLI and are not recognized. The condition is the failure of different parts of the brain to deal with speech and language, and different failures manifest (表明) themselves in different ways.
The scientist involved in the ICA project was Professor Heather van der Leiy,
the director of the Centre for Developmental Language Disorders and Cognitive Neuroscience at University College London, and a leading expert on SLI. “If we can find a genetic link, it will provide the kind of hard evidence that this is a genuine problem, which is needed if we are to cure the disease,” she says.
1. The underlined part in the first paragraph probably means Jo Eddings couldn’t _____.
A. understand her daughter and was very sad
B. help her daughter out of trouble and felt helpless C. afford to treat her daughter’s disease and felt sad D. find where to treat her daughter’s disease and felt ashamed
答案解析：答案为B。本题为句意推测题。从划线部分后文 “I can’t describe my frustration. I felt so helpless,” she says. “What I wanted was the help with my very bright daughter who had a problem with language.”可知，Jo Eddings 对于女儿的疾病感到沮丧、无助，他非常需要帮助。故答案为B。
