    I work in a major U.S. factory. We make refrigerators. Four thousand five hundred new refrigerators
    every day. It is a union workshop and it's gradually shrinking as many blue collar factories seem to be but
    that is not what this story is about. This story is about one man who works in this huge factory.
    I've seen him around for years but never paid much attention. He always seemed just a little strange.
    A little short. A little... scruffy (肮脏的). Always the same old red ball cap. And always a garbage bag
    in one hand. He walks around this big old factory on his breaks and his lunch time collecting aluminum
    (铝) cans. Day after day, month after month on hot days and cold days. Over the years I've followed
    him as he walkedto his old pickup truck on the coldest day with snow blowing and everyone with their
    collars turned up and their hands in their pockets. He would be there with a 40 gallon garbage bag full of
    aluminum cans. He'd toss it into the back of his truck and jump in and I'd reach my car and jump in and
    we'd all race to the exit of this big half empty parking lot.
    Today I was working on a broken machine in this factory and the can man came by with his bag
    picking up cans. Our manager was standing there because the machine I was working on had been
    "down" for a couple of hours and he was getting worried that we might run out of the parts for one of
    the assembly lines(装配线). I was finishing and I stood up just as the manager asked the can man what
    he did with all those cans. I'd never thought to ask him that question because I always just assumed he
    cashed them at the recycle center. The can man said: "I give them to my neighbor. He's disabled and
    can't hold a job." Iblurted out: "You mean you've been collecting all those cans for all these years to
    give to your neighbor?" "It isn't much," he said, "but I give them to him. He can't hold a job." Right then
    and there in that factory I found myself staring at him. He was wearing a T-shirt and an old red ball cap
    and he had a garbage bag full of aluminum cans in his hand! I don't even know his name, but I thank him
    for the lesson he's taught me.
    1. It can be inferred from the passage that ______.
    A. the author didn't like the can man before knowing about his story
    B. making friends at work was not encouraged
    C. the author drove a very old pickup truck

    B. The author thought the can man sold the cans for extra money.
    C. The manager was worried because he might be short of cans.
    D. People in the factory all looked down upon the can man.
    3. What's the possible meaning of the underlined phrase "blurted out" in the last paragraph?
    A. said suddenly without thinking much
    B. screamed at somebody in anger
    C. spoke in a low voice thoughtfully
    D. shouted to somebody cheerfully
    4. What lesson does the author learn from the story?
    A. Never judge a person by his appearance.
    B. Don't work in a factory as a blue collar worker.
    C. Always treat neighbors as family members.

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。
