题目

阅读理解 Hundreds of autism（孤独症） sufferers are being recruited（招聘） by a German software designer to train as high-tech IT experts. SAP, the company, said it wants to recruit up to 500 sufferers because they think differently from others. An autistic person is more likely to be of average or above-average intelligence and possess certain skills that the company wants to tap into. The firm employs more than 65, 000 people globally. By 2020 the aim is for one percent of these to be autistic, it announced from its headquarters in south-western Germany. Recruitment begins this year in Germany, America and Canada, assisted by Danish specialists with experience in hiring autistic people for large firms. Autism is part of a range of related developmental disorders known as autistic spectrum disorders （ASD）（自闭症系列障碍） . ASD can cause a wide range of symptoms including difficulties with social action, language and communication skills as well as unusual or repetitive patterns of thought and physical behavior. Some people with autism find it difficult to speak, communicate and in some cases are only able to process minimal amounts of information. However, at the other end of the spectrum are some very high-functioning sufferers, who can in many cases perform better than people with no such symptom. Studies have shown that these autistic people possess an unbelievable ability to process information and remember data. This may explain why there is a higher than normal percentage of autistic people working in the information technology industry. A University College London study carried out last year gave 16 adults with autism and 16 adults without autism a task designed to assess their perceptual load capacity'（知觉负载能力）. Both groups were successful at the task in the easier initial stages, but the adults with autism significantly did better than those without autism as the task became more difficult. This, the scientists said, proved that the brains of autistic people are able to process greater amounts of information. Previous studies have also linked the symbols of genius- breathtaking achievement, attention to detail and addiction to a particular subject- to autism. （1） It can be inferred from the second paragraph that ______. A . autism sufferers are employed by SAP because they are different from others B . one percent of SAP's workers are autism sufferers now C . some experienced Danish specialists are helping SAP to hire autistic people D .

To prove autistic people have the ability to become high-tech IT experts. B . To compare the adults with autism and the ones without autism. C . To find out the links between genius and autism. D . To show us some studies about autism. （4） Which is the main idea of this passage? A . Why are some people with autism better at IT? B .
