    Living an Adventurous Life
    Nearly ten years ago, I was told that I had a brain tumor (瘤), and this experience changed my
    attitude about adventure forever. I thought that I was going to die and that all my adventures were over.
    I did not have a brain tumor, it turned out, but rather multiple sclerosis (多发性硬化症), which meant
    that, although they were not over, the nature of my adventures could have to change.
    Each morning that I wake up is a fresh event, something that I might not have had. Each gesture that
    I make carries the weight of uncertainty and demands significant attention: buttoning my shirt, changing a
    light bulb, walking down stairs. I might not be able to do it this time. If I could not delight in them, they
    would likely drown me in anger and in self-pity.
    I admire the grand adventures of others. I read about them with interest. With Peter Matthiessen I
    have hiked across the Himalayas to the Crystal Mountain. I have walked with Annie Dillard up, down,
    into, and across Tinker Creek in all seasons. David Bain has gone with me along 110 miles of Philippine
    coast, and Ed Abbey has rowed me down the Colorado River. I enjoy the adventures of these
    courageous figures, who can strike out on difficult trips - 2 miles, 250 miles, 3000 miles - ready to bear
    cold and tiredness, indeed not just to bear but to celebrate.
    But as for me, I can no longer walk very far from the armchair in which I read. Some days I don't
    even make it to the backyard. And yet I'm unwilling to give up the adventurous life, the difficulty of it,
    even the pain, the anxiety and fear, and the sudden brief lift of spirit that makes a hard journey more
    attractive.
    I refine adventure, make it smaller and smaller. And now, whether I am moving on my hands and
    knees across the dining room to help my cat, lying wide-eyed in the dark battling another period of
    sadness, gathering flowers from the garden, meeting a friend for lunch, I am always having the adventures
    that are mine to have.
    1. Which of the following is TRUE about the author's reaction after the illness?
    A. The author is drowned in anger and self-pity.
    B. The author travels to places he/she has dreamed of.
    C. The author can't take care of himself/herself any longer.
    D. The author adapts to the condition successfully.
    2. Why does the author admire the people mentioned in Paragraph 3?
    A. Because they write popular novels.
    B. Because they are great adventurers.
    C. Because they are famous geographers.
    D. Because they fight with hardship in life.
    3.Which of the following shows the author's strong love for adventures?
    A. The author spends almost every day looking for adventures.
    B. The author works hard to make more money for adventures.
    C. The author imagines having adventures while reading.

故事类阅读

等考点的理解。关于这些考点您可以点击下面的选项卡查看详细档案。
  • 故事类阅读

故事类阅读概念:

这类文章一般描述的是某一件具体事情的发生发展或结局,有人物、时间、地点和事件。命题往往从故事的情节、人物或事件的之间的关系、作者的态度及意图、故事前因和后果的推测等方面着手,考查学生对细节的辨认能力以及推理判断能力。


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。
