    Twenty years ago, I drove a taxi for a living. One night I went to pick up a passenger at 2:30 AM. When
    I arrived to collect, I found the building was dark except for a single light in a ground floor window.
    I walked to the door and knocked, "Just a minute," answered a weak, elderly voice.
    After a long pause, the door opened. A small woman in her eighties stood before me. By her side was a
    small suitcase.
    I took the suitcase to the car, and then returned to help the woman. She took my arm and we walked
    slowly toward the car.
    She kept thanking me for my kindness. "It's nothing," I told her. "I just try to treat my passengers the
    way I would want my mother treated."
    "Oh, you're such a good man." She said. When we got into the taxi, she gave me an address, and then
    asked, "Could you drive through downtown?"
    "It's not the shortest way," I answered quickly.
    "Oh, I'm in no hurry," she said. "I'm on my way to a hospice (临终医院). I don't have any family left.
    The doctor says I don't have very long."
    I quietly reached over and shut off the meter (计价器).
    For the next two hours, we drove through the city. She showed me the building where she had once
    worked, the neighborhood where she had lived, and the furniture shop that had once been a ballroom where
    she had gone dancing as a girl.
    Sometimes she'd ask me to slow down in front of a particular building and would sit staring into the
    darkness, saying nothing.
    At dawn, she suddenly said, "I'm tired. Let's go now."
    We drove in silence to the address she had given me.
    "How much do I owe you?" she asked.
    "Nothing." I said.
    "You have to make a living," she answered. "Oh, there are other passengers," I answered.
    Almost without thinking, I bent and gave her a hug. She held onto tightly. Our hug ended with her remark,
    "You gave an old woman a little moment of joy."
    1. The old woman chose to ride through the city in order to _____.
    A. show she was familiar with the city
    B. see some places for the last time
    C. let the driver earn more money
    D. reach the destination on time
    2. The taxi driver did not charge the old woman because he _____.
    A. wanted to do her a favor
    B. shut off the meter by mistake
    C. had received her payment in advance
    D. was in a hurry to take other passengers
    3. What can we learn from the story?
    A. Giving is always a pleasure.
    B. People should respect each other.
    C. An act of kindness can bring people great joy.
    D. People should learn to appreciate others' concern.

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。
