📖 題組：
Known as Asperger Disorder, Asperger Syndrome (AS) is an autism spectrum disorder that is characterized by difficulties in social interaction and nonverbal communication, alongside restricted and repetitive patterns of interests/behavior. The exact cause of Asperger Syndrome is unknown. Although researches suggest the likelihood of a genetic basis, there is no known genetic cause to be identified with. What we can do is to learn how to help people with Asperger Syndrome interact with the world. People with Asperger Syndrome generally seem more normal than other autistic people. They learn well, speak normally, and are usually very smart. They may not understand small talk, but may ramble on about a particular interest whether their listeners care or not. How to move can also be a problem for them. They may not use normal eye contact, or they might require more space than other people. They may not seem emotional or affectionate; they demonstrate limited empathy with their peers. People with Asperger Syndrome do feel. They just show it differently. They think differently from most of the people, but they often think deeply. Accordingly, some researchers have advocated a shift in attitudes toward the view that it is a difference, rather than a disability that must be treated or cured.

What does the last sentence of the passage imply?
- A If Asperger Syndrome is treated as a difference, rather than a disability, it will be cured in the near future.
- B Because the exact cause of Asperger Syndrome is unknown, it is considered as a disability.
- C Because people with Asperger Syndrome have difficulties in social interaction, they are significantly different.
- D As questions about the causes of the disorder remain, Asperger Syndrome should be seen as a difference.
思路引導 VIP
請試著思考：當文中提到一個狀況的『成因依然未知』且現有方法無法『治癒』它時，研究人員提議我們改變看待它的『標籤』。如果你必須在『修正一個錯誤』與『理解一種獨特性』之間做選擇，哪一個更符合文章結尾所傳遞的精神？

太棒了！你的觀察力非常敏銳！
- 觀念驗證：這題考驗的是對文章「核心結論」的推論能力。文末提到研究人員提倡將其視為一種「差異」(difference) 而非「殘疾」(disability)。選項 (D) 精準地結合了文中提到的「成因不明」與最後一段對「觀點轉向」的呼籲，反映出既然無法根治成因，社會應轉而接納這種特質。
- 難度點評：本題難度為 Medium。其鑑別度在於學生必須整合第二段「成因未知」與最後一段「重新定義」的邏輯關聯，而非僅從單一句子找關鍵字，這需要良好的閱讀理解與歸納能力。
