    Patricia asked for the cheapest car available at Acme Car Rental. She needed a car for 48
    hours. Because it was the weekend,there was only one car available at the moment-an SUV.
    Patricia was an environmentalist. SUVs,which are big cars consuming a lot of gasoline,offended
    her greatly.
    But she needed something to get to Baker,a town that was 100 miles from the small airport.
    So she went, RentMe instead. "I need a car for 48 hours," she said," and I don't want an SUV.
    I want something cheap. "They told her they had just the vehicle for her,a 1998Toyota. Thirty
    dollars a day,including insurance and other incidental fees. All she had to do was to pay forher
    own gasoline. Patricia was very pleased. Thirty dollars a day was a good rate even for a weekday.
    She signed all the paperwork,and they gave her the keys.
    The Toyota was a 4-speed,4-cylinder,2-door beauty,the paint,tires,and the interior were like
    the new. It was comfortable, even though the air-conditioner was not the frostiest(结霜的) . She
    got in and drove north. It was a two-lane road all the way to Baker,with only one town between
    the airport and Baker. That town was Noms,40 miles from Baker.
    Patricia didn't make it to Norris. The car refused to run 30 minutes after she had been driving
    it. Fortunately,her cell phone was able to connect back to the RentMe desk. "My car stopped
    running. and I'm out here in the middle of nowhere in the hot sun! " she said.
    "That doesn't make any sense," said the clerk."You did put gas in the car before you left town,
    didn't you? "
    "No. Of course not ! "  yelled Patricia. " Why would Iput gas in the car before I even got out
    of town?" "Well,why do you think you got such a good
    rate-we save money by having the customer gas up instead of us having to put gas in the car. "
    "I was in a hurry,"said Patricia.
    "Well,sometimes you pay a price for being in a hurry," said the clerk. " We'II send a man out
    with some spare gas for you:if you'd like. ,,"
    Of course l'd like , " said Patria.ia. " How long willit be?"
    The clerk told her it would be within the hour. He didn't tell her that there would be a  $ 50
    service charge for delivering the gas,or that the 3 gallons of fuel would cost her $ 7 a gallon. She
    would get that bad news when she retumed the car to the airport.

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。
