    Years ago, when I started looking for my first job, wise advisers advised,  "Barbara, be enthusiastic!
    Enthusiasm will take you further than any amount of experience." How right they were!
    "Nothing great was ever done without enthusiasm," wrote Ralph Waldo Emerson. It is the paste (浆
    糊) that helps you hang in there when the things get tough. It is the inner voice that tells you, "I can do it!" when others shout, "No, you can't!" It took years and years for the early work of Barbara McClintock, a
    geneticist who won the 1983 Nobel Prize in medicine, to be generally accepted. Yet she didn't stop
    working on her experiments.
    We are all born with wide-eyed, enthusiastic wonder and it is the childlike wonder that gives
    enthusiastic people such youthful air, whatever their age. At 90, cellist Pablo Casals would start his day
    by playing the cello (大提琴). As the music flowed through his fingers, his shoulders would straighten and
    joy would reappear in his eyes. As writer and poet Samuel Ullman once wrote, "Years wrinkle (起皱纹)
    the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul."
    Enthusiastic people also love what they do, not considering money or title or power. Patricia Mellratl,
    a retired director in Kansas City, was once asked where she got her enthusiasm. She replied, "My father,
    long ago, told me, 'I never made any money until I stopped working for it.'"
    We can't afford to waste tears on "might-have-been". We need to turn the tears into sweat (汗水)as
    we go after "what-can-be". We need to live each moment whole-heartedly, with all our senses finding
    pleasure in the sweet of a backyard garden, the simple picture of a six-year-old, and the beauty of a
    rainbow.
    1. What is the passage mainly talking about?
    A. Enthusiasm is more important than experience.
    B. Enthusiasm can give people more success and fame
    C. Enthusiastic people will never get old
    D. Enthusiasm can make you succeed and enjoy life.
    2. We can infer that enthusiasm is more important for a person especially when __________.
    A. he is in trouble
    B. he is getting old
    C. he can do what he love
    D. he has succeeded
    3. The author mentions Pablo Casals in the third paragraph to show that ______.
    A. enthusiasm can make people feel young
    B. music can arouse people's enthusiasm
    C. enthusiasm can give people inspiration needed to succeed
    D. enthusiasm can keep people healthy
    4. How many examples are referred in the passage to show the importance of enthusiasm?
    A. Three
    B. Four
    C. Five
    D. Six
    5. Which proverb may the writer agree with according to the last paragraph?
    A. A good beginning makes a good ending
    B. Don't cry over the spoiled milk
    C. All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy
    D. Love me, love my dog

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。
