    My brother, Michael, was born one month before his due date and he also had cerebral palsy(脑瘫). He was retarded. He never lost his baby teeth, never grew taller than about 30 inches and never weighed more than 28 pounds. They did estimate, however, that he would not live to see his 12th birthday.
    As a boy I learned to feed and clothe Mike. As a teenager, I babysat for my "big brother" and learned use the proper medicine to prevent the seizures(癫痫) that caused him to tremble.
    Many people said he would never walk or talk . He never did learn to walk, but he did learn to
    talk  -not even in complete sentences, but he had the basics down. If he was hungry, thirsty, happy or sad, we knew. He knew names too. I was Kagun, not Kevin. But that changed with a beard I grew during the
    summer before college. Family members said it was ugly. Mike heard it.
    "Look who's at home. Who's that?" they'd say to Mike. "Ugly," he would respond with delight.
    All of which-to me-was normal, for he was the only brother I knew. The only time I thought of the
    differences between us was when others pointed them out.
    My circle of friends widened when I entered high school. One day Mom asked if my new friends would have a problem seeing Mike for the first time. "If they don't accept Mike, they don't accept me and they
    aren't welcome," I said.
    And if I didn't think of him as different, I never thought about him dying either. On a warm fall night in
    1998, Mike had a seizure. With this first seizure, Mike's life was beginning to fade.
    On March 15, 1999, Mike died. Michael Patrick Harter-just 26 years old- died in Mom's arms.
    We never had those great talks other brothers have about women, work and parents. We never played catch or talked about our dreams. But Mike taught me compassion and strength. He taught me respect for those less fortunate than myself. And he taught me an appreciation of the beauty in the simplest things.
    Physically and mentally, I was my brother's keeper. Spiritually, Mike was and is my keeper-a nearly
    silent guardian angel.
    1. The underlined word "retard" in Paragraph 1 may mean_______.
    A. to make development faster
    B. to make development slower
    C. to make development earlier
    D. to make development better
    2. How much longer did the writer's brother live than expected?
    A. About 26
    B. About 12
    C. About38
    D. About 14
    3. Which of the following statements is supported by the passage?
    A.It was a great shock to the writer that his disabled brother died in his mother's arms.
    B.He thought his brother would inspire him forever.
    C.His brother brought him great shame in his childhood.
    D.He thought that friendship wasn't that important.
    4.The best title of this passage might be____________.
    A. My Disabled Brother
    B. A Peaceful Death of My Brother
    C. My Silent Keeper
    D. Love to My Brother

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。
