    Music died here last spring, or rather, it was killed by members of the school committee who ignored
    the importance of music and drama as part of the highschool curriculum.
    The committee decided that teaching students how to take a standardized test is more important than
    a curriculum in which students can explore their interests in the arts as well as academics. Because the
    school system is running out of funding, it needs to make sure that students pass the mastery test or even
    more money will be lost. If students fail the state standardized test, it is not the fault of drama and music
    classes-they are failing because the "academic" classes are not sufficient.
    It is painful to think of how many students will be discouraged from singing, acting, and playing
    instruments because school programs are no longer offered. Many families cannot afford private music
    lessons, and many potential musicians and artists may not find their calling if they are not exposed to it in
    school. The fact that the school committee thinks the arts are not worth the investment will certainly make
    some students believe the arts are not worth their time or support and the cycle will continue.
    Teaching for a test does not shape students into complete, well-rounded people. It blocks the natural
    sense to create and express feelings through art-there is more to life than the analytical thinking that math
    and English provide. What happens after a test?Sure, a student might graduate, but they will have limited
    knowledge-certainly not a good preparation for the real world.

    1. Music and drama are not included in the highschool curriculum mainly because ________.
    A. the school committee pays no attention to them
    B. the school is afraid of losing financial support
    C. the students are not interested in both of them
    D. the state standardized test is more important

    2. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
    A. The sufficiency of the classes determines students' performance in the mastery test.
    B. Quite a few students are discouraged from learning music and art in today's school system.
    C. Students can be musicians and artists only if they can afford private music lessons.
    D. The school committee completely influences students' attitude towards the arts.

    3. We can learn that music and art can ________.
    A. motivate students in creativity and expression
    B. make students roundshaped people in future
    C. provide students with analytical thinking
    D. prevent students graduation from high school

    4. The best title of the passage can be ________.
    A. "Who killed music and drama?"
    B. "Can curriculum go without music?"
    C. "Why is music so important?"
    D. "How to prepare for the real world?"

本试题 “阅读理解Music died here last spring, or rather, it was killed by members of the school committee who ignoredthe importance of music and drama as pa...” 主要考查您对

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。
