    It was Saturday. As always, it was a busy one, for "Six days shall you labor and do all your work"
    was taken seriously back then. Outside, Father and Mr Patrick next door were busy chopping firewood.
    Inside their own houses, Mother and Mrs. Patrick were engaged in spring cleaning.
    Somehow the boys had slipped away to the back lot with their kites.Now, even at the risk of having
    Brother caught to beat carpets, they had sent him to the kitchen for more string(线). It seemed there
    was no limit tothe heights to which kites would fly today.
    My mother looked at the sitting room, its furniture disordered for a thorough sweeping. Again she
    cast a look toward the window. "Come on, girls! Let's take string to the boys and watch them fly the
    kites a minute."
    On the way we met Mrs. Patrick, laughing guiltily as if she were doing something wrong, together
    with her girls.
    There never was such a day for flying kites! We played all our fresh string into the boys' kites and
    they went up higher and higher. We could hardly distinguish the orangecolored spots of the kites. Now
    and then we slowly pulled one kite back, watching it dancing up and down in the wind, and finally
    bringing it down to earth, just for the joy of sending it up again.
    Even our fathers dropped their tools and joined us. Our mothers took their turn, laughing like
    schoolgirls. I think we were all beside ourselves. Parents forgot their duty and their dignity; children
    forgot their everyday fights and little jealousies. "Perhaps it's like this in the kingdom of heaven," I
    thought confusedly.
    It was growing dark before we all walked sleepily back to the houses. I suppose we had some sort
    of supper. I suppose there must have been a surface tidyingup, for the house on Sunday looked clean
    and orderly enough. The strange thing was, we didn't mention that day afterward. I felt a little
    embarrassed. Surely none of the others had been as excited as I. I locked the memory up in that
    deepest part of me where we keep "the things that cannot be and yet they are".
    The years went on, then one day I was hurrying about my kitchen in a city apartment, trying to get
    some work out of the way while my threeyearold insistently cried her desire to "go park, see duck."
    "I can't go!" I said. "I have this and this to do, and when I'm through I'll be too tired to walk that far."
    My mother, who was visiting us, looked up from the peas she was shelling."It's a wonderful day,"she
    offered, "really warm, yet there's a fine breeze. Do you remember that day we flew kites?"
    I stopped in my dash between stove and sink. The locked door flew open and with it a rush of
    memories. "Come on," I told my little girl. "You're right, it's too good a day to miss."
    Another decade passed. We were in the aftermath (余波)of a great war. All evening we had been
    asking our returned soldier, the youngest Patrick Boy, about his experiences as a prisoner of war. He
    had talked freely, but now for a long time he had been silent. What was he thinking of-what dark and
    horrible things?
    "Say!" A smile slipped out from his lips."Do you remember -no, of course you wouldn't. It probably
    didn't make the impression on you as it did on me."
    I hardly dared speak."Remember what?"
    "I used to think of that day a lot in POW camp (战俘营), when things weren't too good. Do you
    remember the day we flew the kites?"

    A. she was too old to fly kites
    B. her husband would make fun of her
    C. she should have been doing her housework then

    D. forgot their fights

    B. They should have finished their work before playing.

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。
