    Christmas is a religious holiday. It is the day on which Christians celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ. It is a happy holiday. Families come together to share their happiness, go to church, and exchange gifts. During the days before Christmas, parties are held in schools, offices, factories, and clubs; homes and stores are
    crowded with shoppers.
    Cities and towns in the United States sparkle with bright lights and decorations. Churches, homes,
    schools, shops, and streets are decorated with Christmas trees, colored lights, Santa Claus and his
    reindeer, and nativity scenes showing the stable where Jesus Christ was born. Store windows display gifts and Christmas scenes. The traditional colors for this holiday are red and green, and red poinsettia is
    considered as the Christmas flower. On Christmas Eve, President of the United States turns on the lights of the Christmas tree near the White House and sends his greetings to the nation.
    Families prepare for this holiday a few weeks before. They make special foods. They make and buy
    gifts. They wrap them with ornaments and lights. Houses are decorated with wreaths of holly, evergreens, and mistletoe. Many families share memories by following special ethnic Christmas traditions from their
    country of origin. On Christmas Eve, many read the famous prom A Visit from Saint Nicholas by Clement Moore. Children hang up stockings to receive gifts from Santa Claus. Schools usually have two weeks of
    vacation, and some families take vacations together.
    People wish each other "Merry Christmas" during this holiday season. In many states, people look
    forward to snow (White Christmas). Christmas carols are sung on the radio and in public places during this season. Some of the most famous carols are Silent Night, The First Noel, Joy to the World, and Jingle
    Bells. There are many shows on television called "Christmas Specials". Films like A Christmas Carol (by
    Charles Dickens) and Miracle on 34th Street are family favorites. Churches, organizations, and
    newspapers ask for donations of money and food for the needy. Volunteers from the Salvation Army stand outside stores collecting money for the same purpose. Meals are prepared and served to the poor and
    homeless.

  • 历史文化类阅读

什么是历史文化类阅读:

本类题型常用的方式是夹叙夹议。叙述的目的是为了议,所以要把握其议才是主要方面。阅读这类文章,先弄清其引入的话题,再弄清里面人物对其不同的看法,然后理解作者本身对话题的观点看法或思考。


历史文化类阅读技巧:

题型说明】历史文化类阅读理解文章属高考常选材料之一。这类文章常涉及历史、文化、法制、宗教等方面的文学艺术、发明创造、文化遗产保护、宗教与文化、风俗与习惯、道德与法制、中外文学名著节选、等等。这类材料的命题点往往落在主旨大意题、事实细节题上。
答题方法】在做这类阅读理解题时,我们应注意以下几个方面:
1、采用先题后文:先读题目,再带着问题读文章。这类阅读理解文章相对来说事实细节题稍多一点,如果带着问题读文章,有利于我们抓细节。
2、先做细节题。因为做完了局部性的事实细节题后,自然会加深我们对文章的理解,这样更有利于做主旨大意题。
3、重点敲定主旨题。主旨大意题提问的形式主要有两大类:一类是Main idea型;一类是Topic或Title型。
在解答这类试题时应注意以下几点:
a.读首句抓大意。
文化教育类阅读理解文章多采用说明文、议论文体裁,而这类文章大都采用文章段落的中心,即主题句在文章开头。因此,要寻找这类文章的主旨大意就需要研究文章的首句。
b.读尾句抓大意。
有时这类文章的主题句安排在文章的结尾,作为对全篇的总结。
c.读首段抓大意。
有些文章或段落的开头和结尾部分都有主题句。这种结构是为了突出主题思想而使用两次点题的写作方法。这两个主题句在句子结构和用词上有所不同,而且在内容上前句和后句也不重复。
d.从段落中抓大意。
有些文章或段落的主题句在文章中,这种文章或段落往往以一句话或几句话引出要表达的主题,在主题句出现后,再举例子陈述细节或继续论证。
e.归纳要点抓大意。
有些文章或段落无明显的主题句,只是暗示性地体现主题。这就要求同学们在阅读过程中根据文中所叙述的事实或线索来概括总结主旨大意。
