    Imagine yourself on a boat looking out at the horizon and all you can see is the water meeting the sky
    with no land in sight and you are sailing straight ahead to meet the world. Jesse Martin does not have to
    imagine: he is living in it.
    On Dec. 7, 1998, at 17 years old, Jesse set sail from Melbourne, Australia on his boat, attempting to
    become the youngest person to sail alone and nonstop around the world. He sailed south of New Zealand,
    through the South Pacific, around South America, north on the Atlantic, back south past Africa, through
    the Indian Ocean and back to Melbourne.
    Even as a young child, Jesse had been an adventurer who traveled all over Europe and Asia with his
    parents. Born in Munich, Germany in 1981, he moved to Australia with his family when he was only two
    years old. They moved close to a rainforest in Cow Bay, about 3500kms north of Melbourne, where they
    built a small house with no electricity or running water. Jesse grew up at the beach enjoying the outdoors
    to its fullest.
    At 14, he sailed for the first time with his father and brother, Beau. It was after this trip that he began
    to dream about sailing around the world.
    Jesse's family played an important role. "I was made to believe I could do anything." he says. Although,
    he says, there were others that were not so encouraging or supportive, "People that I looked up to, respected
    and trusted told me I couldn't. Thankfully, I trusted myself. There were people that said that the boat
    couldn't be ready by the time I had to leave." However, through perseverance and belief in himself he was
    able to do what many told him was impossible.
    On Oct.31, 1999, more than 10 months after he set sail, Jesse Martin went down in history as the
    youngest person to sail around the world alone, nonstop and unassisted.
    1. What's the author's purpose in encouraging the reader to imagine a sailing experience?
    A. To show how difficult it is to be a sailor.
    B. To show how wonderful Jesse's sailing is.
    C. To describe what Jesse's sailing is like.
    D. To describe what a sailor's life is like.
    2. Jesse Martin was at the end of his voyage when he ______.
    A. sailed on the South Pacific.
    B. sailed on the Indian Ocean.
    C. sailed past Africa.
    D. sailed past South America.
    3. Which of the following made Jesse decide to sail alone around the world?
    A. His childhood adventure experiences.
    B. His journeys to Europe.
    C. His first sailing trip with his family.
    D. His love for outdoor activities.
    4. What can we learn from Jesse Martin's story?
    A. Interest leads to success.
    B. A strong belief will make a person stronger.
    C. Life is an unusual adventure we should enjoy.
    D. Failure is the mother of success.

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。
