         On May 23,1989,Stefania Follini came out from a cave at Carlsbad,New Mexico.She hadn't
    seen the sun for eighteen and a half weeks.Stefania was in a research program,and the scientists in
    the program were studying body rhythms(节奏). In this experiment Stefania had spent 130 days in a
    cave,30 feet in depth.
         During her time in the cave,Stefania had been completely alone except for two white mice.Her
    living place had been very comfortable,but there had been nothing to tell her the time.She'd had no
    clocks or watches,no television or radio.There had been no natural light and the temperature had
    always been kept at 21℃.
         The results were very interesting.Stefania had been in the cave for over four months,but she
    thought she had been there for only two.Her body clock had changed.She hadn't kept to a 24hour day,
    she had stayed awake for 20~25 hours and then had slept for 10 hours.She had eaten fewer meals and
    had lost 171 bs in weight as a result!She had also become rather depressed(抑郁).
         How had she spent her time in the cave?As part of the experiment she'd done some physical and
    mental tests.She'd recorded her daily activities and the results of the tests on a computer.This computer
    had been specially programmed for the project.Whenever she was free,she'd played cards,read
    books and listened to music.She'd also learned French from tapes.
          The experiment showed that our body clocks are affected by light and temperature.For example,
    the pattern of day and night makes us wake up and go to sleep.However,people are affected in
    different ways.Some people wake up naturally at 5:00 am,but others don't start to wake up till
    9:00 or 10:00 am.This affects the whole daily rhythm.As a result,the early risers are at their best
    in the late morning.The late risers, on the other hand,are tired during the day and only come to life in
    the afternoon or evening!

    1. Stefania stayed in the cave for a long time because________.

    A. she was asked to do research on mice
    B. she wanted to experience loneliness
    C. she was the subject of a study
    D. she needed to record her life

    2. What is a cause for the change of Stefania's body clock?

    A. Eating fewer meals.
    B. Having more hours of sleep.
    C. Lacking physical exercise.
    D. Getting no natural light.

    3. Where does the text probably come from ?

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。
