    Until I was twelve years old, I thought everyone in the world knew about the grinnies, if I thought
    about the term at all - which is unlikely. After all, everyone in my family used the word quite naturally,
    and we understood each other. So far as I knew, it was a word like any other word  - likebath, or
    chocolate, orhomework. But it was my homework which led to my discovery thatgrinnieswas a
    word not known outside my family.
    My last report card had said that I was a "C" student in English, and my parents, both teachers,
    decided that no child of theirs would be just an average student of anything. So nightly I spelled words
    aloud and answered questions about the fine points of grammar. I wrote and rewrote and rewrote every
    composition until I convinced my mother that I could make no more improvements. And the hard work
    paid off. One day the teacher returned compositions, and there it was - a big fat, bright red "A" on the
    top of my paper. Naturally, I was delighted, but I didn't know I was attracting attention until the teacher
    spoke sharply, "Helen, what are you doing?"
    Called suddenly out of my happy thoughts, I said "Oh, I've got the grinnies!" The teacher and my
    classmates burst into laughter, and then I understood that grinnies were used inside my family. Other
    people were not so lucky.
    And it is really lucky to have the grinnies, an uncontrollable, natural state of great pleasure. Grinnies
    are shown on the outside by sparkling eyes and a wide, wide smile - not just any smile, but one that
    shows the teeth and stretches the mouth to its limits. A person experiencing the grinnies appears to be
    all mouth. On the inside grinnies are characterized by a feeling of joyful anxiety. Grinnies usually last just
    a few seconds, but they can come and go. Sometimes, when life seems just perfect, I have occasional
    attacks of the grinnies for a whole day.
    The term originated in my mother's family. Her younger sister, Rose, who had deep dimples (酒窝),
    often expressed her pleasure with such a grin that the dimples appeared to become permanent. When
    Rose was about four, she started explaining her funny look by saying, "I have the grinnies". The term
    caught on, and it has been an important word in our family now for two generations.
    The occasion doesn't matter. Anything can bring on the grinnies - just so long as one feels great
    delight. When my brother finally rode his bicycle - without training wheels - from our house to the corner
    and back, he came home with the grinnies. When I was little, my mother's announcement that we would
    have homemade ice cream for dessert always gave me the grinnies. My father had the grinnies when I
    was chosen to make a speech at the end-of-school-year ceremony. Grinnies can be brought on by a
    good meal, a sense of pride, a new friend, a telephone call from someone special, an achievement. Or
    sometimes one gets the grinnies for no reason at all: just a sudden sense of happiness can bring on a
    case. Whatever brings them on, an attack of the grinnies is among life's greatest pleasures.
    In fact, now that I look back on the experience, I feel sorry for my seventh-grade teacher. I think it's
    a pity that she didn't know the word grinnies. It's such a useful term for saying, "I'm really, really pleased!"
    1. After the writer was twelve years old, she ______.

    B. equaled "grinnies" to bath or chocolate in meaning

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。
