人物故事类
故事类阅读应试技巧
1、抓住文章的6个要素：
阅读时要学会从事情本身的发展去理解故事情节而不要只看事件在文中出现的先后顺序。因此，无论是顺叙还是倒叙，阅读此类文章时，必须要找到它结构中的5个W(when, where, who, why, what)和1个H(how)，不过不是每篇都会完整地交待六个要素。毫无疑问，寻出这些元素是能够正确快速解题的一个先决条件。
2、注意作者的议论和抒情：
高考英语阅读理解故事类文章常伴随着作者思想情感的流露和表达，因此议论和抒情往往夹杂其中。行文时或按事情发生发展的先后时间进行或按事情发生发展的地点来转换，也可能按事情发展的阶段来布局。在引出话题，讲完一件事情后，作者往往会表达个人感悟或提出建议等。这些体现作者观点或思想的语句在阅读时可以划线，它们往往体现文章中心或者写作意图，属于必考点，所以要仔细体会。
3、结合前两点归纳文章中心，把握作者态度：
故事类文章是通过记叙一件事来表达中心思想的，它是文章的灵魂。归纳文章中心思想时，尤其要分析文章的结尾，因为很多文章卒章显志，用简短的议论、抒情揭示文章中心;文章中议论抒情的句子往往与中心密切相关;也有的文章需要在结合概括各段大意的基础上归纳中心。另外，叙述一件事必有其目的，或阐明某一观点，或赞美某种品德，或抨击某种陋习，这就要求我们在阅读时，通过对细节(第1点中的六要素)的理解，把握作者的态度。
4、有章有据进行解题判断：
分析文章，归纳主题，属于分析、概括、综合的表述能力的考查。切忌脱离文章，架空分析，一定让分析在文章中有依据。

me out of my dream, then finally signed the papers that would allow me to be a solider.
One day, nearly two years after the Philippines (菲律宾) became my 2 , I was told to go to the
office of Lieutenant Colonel (中校) Boyd. He seemed to be a kind man, but I was pretty sure that he hadn"t
called me in to 3 the time of day.
Standing before his desk, I waited 4 as he read through some paperwork. Then he looked up.
"Why, Private (二等兵), haven"t you written to your mother for more than six months?"
I felt weak in my knees. Has it been 5 long? I thought.
"I don"t have anything to say, sir."
Lieutenant Colonel Boyd told me that my mother had got in touch with the American Red Cross,
which in turn informed me about that. Then he said, "Go to that desk, and you"ll find some paper and a
pen. Sit down right this minute and write to your mother, Private?"
"Yes, sir."
When I finished a short letter, I stood before him again.
"Private, I"m 6 you to find something to say to your mother at least once a week. Do you
understand?" I did.
Some thirty-five years later, my 7 mother"s mind was not as good as it used to be, and I had
to place her in a convalescent home (疗养院). As I 8 her own things in a big old strong box, I found
some letters tied with a bright red ribbon (缎带).
They were the letters I had 9 from the Philippines. I sat on the floor of her room that afternoon
reading each one, tears (眼泪) running down my face. I now realized how deeply I, as a 10 , had made
her worried by my careless thoughts.
The lesson I learned may have been too 11 to help my mother, but it"s still 12 me good.
These days I don"t need an officer standing over me to write my loved ones on a regular basis (定期).阅读理解。

seat, paint, and bell. Then she thought, "I want to make sure drivers see me on my bike. I"ll add reflectors

Tracy"s dad walked into the kitchen. "What are you doing?" he asked.
"Oh, I"m just thinking about the bike I want to buy", Tracy said. "I had hoped to earn enough on my
paper route the first week to buy it, but I only made fifteen dollars. I hope the bike is still there after I get
paid next week."
"Well, if you would like to earn the money tomorrow, you can help me," Tracy"s dad said.
"Doing what?" Tracy asked eagerly.
"I"m washing windows in the morning," her dad said. "I could use five dollars" worth of help."
Even though it was a Saturday, Tracy got up quite early. She washed the inside of all of the windows.
By twelve o"clock, she finished and had the money in her hand. Just as she was ready to leave, her mom
called to her, "Tracy, did you make your bed?" Tracy rushed to her bedroom and made her bed. Finally, she
headed for the door. She raced down the street to where the bike was for sale. Luckily, It was still there. The
owner noticed Tracy looking at the bike. "Would you like to buy it?" asked the owner.
"I sure would! I have twenty dollars," Tracy answered, pulling the money out of her pocket.
Within minutes Tracy rode away wearing a huge smile. She circled the block several times. She wanted
her friends to see her on her new bike.通读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从短文后各题所给的四个选项中选择最佳的一项。 On my way into the house, I heard a child"s voice from the other side of a small forest. I had traveled several thousand kilometers to the center of Africa, to see this kid. I went through 1 and saw a little boy walking

take my dog Rosie with me, so I spoke to my vet (兽医) before I booked the tickets. Rosie would have to
travel in a large wooden box, and I wanted to check that she would be OK. The vet said that Rosie would be
fine because it was only a short flight.
When the plane landed in Seattle at five o"clock, I asked the flight attendant if I could stay in my seat
until Rosie was taken off the plane. The flight attendant told me to get off the plane immediately, and that I
should wait for Rosie at the baggage claim area (行李认领处). So I went to the baggage claim area and
waited until all the baggage had been taken off the plane. Soon I was the only person waiting and there was
still no sign of Rosie.
After forty-five minutes, I asked a woman who worked for the airline if she could find out where my
dog was. After I"d waited another thirty minutes, she told me that the plane was now flying to Los Angeles.
Rosie was still on the plane! It wasn"t until eleven thirty that night that the airline found Rosie in Los Angeles.
There were no more flights that night so she had to spend the night in her box at Los Angeles airport.

of time. People think I"m selfish or not kind-hearted. But I don"t feel sorry for that, and I think more parents
will be coming around to my way of thinking. Britain"s universities are failing to serve either the country or
our children. It"s about time we voted (投票) with our feet.
I can"t remember when I began to change my mind on education. Like a lot of middle-class parents,
we had believed that going to university was what your children did. It"s one of the reasons (理由) we offered
more than $ 100,000 in fees (学费) for Jim to go to a private (私立) school rather than a free public one.
Education is more important than nice cars, new kitchens or skiing holidays.
Jim is a young boy of whom any parent would be proud. He"s clever and helpful; he"s good at things like
hanging pictures and mending doors; he can get on well with other kids. But he"s shown little interest in study.
It"s not Jim"s intellect (智力) that"s the problem-after he entered the school he was asked to sit an exam
but an in-built reluctance (勉强) to do any more work than necessary to get by. We"ve tried everything to make
him work harder. None of it has worked. For his final exams, Jim got a D and two Es. Even allowing for our
low expectations (期望), this came as a surprise to his mother and me.
"Surely," I said to one of Jim"s teachers, "the only subject Jim would get on with such poor grades would
be the kind of subject that wouldn"t be worth doing anyway."
"Not at all," the teacher answered, as if speaking to a dinosaur. He read out the names of a lot of univer-
sities I"d never heard of, saying they"d all be fit for Jim.
It was at this point I realized how far away I was from today"s education. I knew that, since I was at
school in the early 1980s-when a student with such poor grades as Jim"s would not have been allowed to go to
any university-the population in the UK going on to higher education has gone up from 14% to a surprising 44%.1. The reason the writer won"t let Jim go to university is that _________. [ ] A. the family is too poor to send Jim there
B. there are few universities in the UK
C. Jim won"t be allowed to go to university
D. it"s a waste of time and money to do so2. What"s Jim"s main problem? [ ] 完形填空。 The sun was shining when I got on No. 151 bus. We passengers sat closely in heavy clothes. No one

3 the back of the driver"s head. "Put your papers down. All of you." The 4 came down. "Now,
turn and face the person next to you. Go ahead."
Surprisingly we all did it. Still no one smiled. I faced an older woman. her head wrapped (裹) in a red
scarf. I saw her 5 every day. Our eyes met. We waited for the next order from the driver. "Now repeat
after me. Good morning, neightbor!"
Our voices were 6 . For many of us, these were the 7 words we had spoken that day. But we
said them together, like 8 , to the strangers beside us. We couldn"t help smiling. There was the 9 of
relief (解脱). Moreover, there was the sense of ice being broken "Good morning, neighbor." It was not so
10 after all. Some of us repeated it, others shook hands, and many laughed.
The bus driver said nothing more. He didn"t 11 to. Not a single newspaper went back up. I heard
laughter, a 12 sound I had never heard before in No. 151 bus.

when this method of communication first came into business life, his company in New York and its satellites
across the earth were among the first to get it.
One evening in New York, the American friend was late for a drink we"d arranged (安排). "Sorry," he
said, "I"ve been away and had to deal with 998 emails." "Wow," I said, "I"m really surprised you made it before
midnight." "It doesn"t really take that long," he explained, "if you simply delete (删除) them all."
The friend had developed his own way on dealing with emails before most of us heard of emails. If any
information he got was very important, his no reply would make the sender ring him up. If the sender wasn"t
important enough to have his phone number, the communication couldn"t be important enough.
Almost every week now, we have to spend lots of time in dealing with emails. But if this happens, it"s only
because we haven"t developed the same thing in dealing with emails as we do with post. Have you ever regarded
an important letter as a piece of advertisement and thrown it out? Of course you haven"t. Junk (垃圾) email
looks unnecessary to read. But I cannot understand why so many people would like to open emails which come
from this kind of address such as SPECIALOFFER@junk.com.
Dealing with emails is an art. Firstly, you delete anything from any address you don"t know. Secondly, not
all the emails have to be answered. Thirdly, a reply email doesn"t have to be the same length as the original (原始
的).1. Why was the friend late for the drink that evening? [ ] A. Because he had a lot of work to do.
B. Because he had to deal with quite a lot of emails.
C. Because he had to finish his work before midnight.
D. Because he had to delete quite a lot of emails.2. What is the American friend"s opinion on e-mails? [ ] 完形填空。 Last summer, I was a volunteer (志愿者) at a shelter for the homeless, a place for homeless people

(控制) of the class from the 10 I wouldn"t be able to get it back. I thought the big boy made the noise.
To my 11 , a small boy was the source (根源) of trouble. Days went 12 and I discovered that the big
boy was good and quiet and the great source of trouble came from a group of small-sized students who became
under control after some weeks. From then on, I realized that judging (判断) by appearance can often be wrong,

(A play)
THE SCENE: A classroom in a high school.
(场景) Summer is over. This is the first day of school. The students arrive one by one or in small
groups. Everyone stops to read the sign on the door. It says:
PHYSICS 1, DR.F. DIRKSON.
THE CHARACTERS: Five students (Linda, Ben, Rudy, Tony, Molly) and Dr. Dirkson.
(人物)
Linda: Dirkson? Dirkson? I don"t know that name. Who is he?
Rudy: Don"t ask me. He must be a new teacher. I don"t remember him teaching in this school last year.
Do you, Ben?
Ben: No, but here comes Tony. If anyone can tell you about Dr. What"s-His-Name, Tony can. He knows
everything.
Tony: (laughs.) I don"t know everything. I only know almost everything. What is your question, please?
Molly: What do you know about this new teacher?
Tony: I don"t really know much about Dr. Dirkson. I do hear things, though. I hear lots of things.
Rudy: What do you hear? Is he a good teacher? I"m hoping to go to college. This class is important to me.
Tony: I have a friend who goes to Central High School. I"m almost sure that"s where Dr. Dirkson comes
from. If it"s the same teacher, he is rough. Believe me, he is rough and tough.
Linda: What do you mean "rough and tough"? I plan to go to college, too. I have to do well in this class.
Tony: What I hear is that Dirkson"s exams are very hard. He usually fails about half the class. All the girls.
Linda: (angry) That can"t be true. You"re making it up, Tony.
Molly: He"s just talking like that to make us angry, Linda. Tony, What does Dr. Dirkson look like? Is he
married?
Tony: I don"t think so. But don"t get excited, Molly. He isn"t going to interest you. He"s about seventy-seven
years old and he uses a walking stick.
Molly: (she is angry) Tony, why do you say that this teacher fails all the girls? Do you think physics is too
hard for girls? Do you think we can"t do it?
Tony: All I"m saying, Molly, is that girls don"t make it in Dr. Dirkson"s class. Physics is very difficult. It"s
not like art or music or history. It"s a science. How many famous women scientists are there? Hardly
any. You can count them on the fingers of one hand.
Ben: That"s not fair(公平), Tony. There are many women who are doctors and engineers and scientists. And
there are more of them all the time.
Rudy: That"s right, Tony. I agree with Ben. Girls can do anything we can do.
Tony: I don"t care what anybody says. I"m telling you the truth, Molly. I"m not saying that girls are not
intelligent (有智力的). They just don"t have the right kind of intelligence to understand physics.
Dr. Dirskson must know that. Take my advice (忠告) and get out of his class before he walks in.
(A very pretty young woman hurries into the classroom.)
Dr. Dirkson: Good morning. I"m sorry I"m late. I am Dr. Dirkson.
(The whole class starts to laugh. Everyone laughs hard. Everyone except Tony.)阅读短文，根据其内容回答问题。 "Climbing Mount Qomolangma is a kind of discovery," said a reporter of CCTV. He was sent to join the

climbers had to live there for ever. During the past 50 years, more than 10,000 men and women tried to get to
the top, but only 1,200 have made their dreams come true. We Chinese climbers first showed our national flag
to the world on the top of the mountain in 1960.
Once someone asked why the pioneers never stopped trying to reach the top. "I don"t think climbing the
highest mountain only means danger or death. It is really a chance to challenge. You can really understand the
love of nature and the true meaning of life," a reporter of CCTV answered.
