         Two traveling angels stopped to spend the night in the home of a wealthy family. The family was rude
    and refused to let the angels stay in the guest room. Instead the angels were given a space in the cold
    basement. As they made their bed on the hard floor, the older angel saw a hole in the wall and repaired it.
    When the younger angel asked why, the older angel replied. "Things aren't always what they seem."   
         The next night the pair came to rest at the house of a very poor, but very hospitable (好客的) farmer
    and his wife. After sharing the little food they had, the couple let the angels sleep in their bed where they
    could have a good night's rest. When the sun came up the next morning, the angels found the farmer and
    his wife in tears. Their only cow, whose milk had been their only income, lay dead in the field. The younger
    angel was very angry and asked the older angel, "How could this happen? Why did you watch out for the
    cow? The first man had everything, yet you watched over his house," she accused, "The second family
    had little but was willing to share everything, and you did not help."
         "Things aren't always what they seem," the older angel replied.
         "When we stayed in the basement, I noticed there was gold stored in that hole in the wall. Since the
    owner was so greedy and unwilling to share his good fortune, I asked God if I could seal the wall so that
     he wouldn't find it. Then last night as we slept in the farmer's bed, the angel of death came for his wife.
    I asked God if the angel could take the cow instead. Things aren't always what they seem."


    1. Why did the older angel repair the hole for the rich family?
    A. Because she didn't like the greedy owner.
    B. Because she wanted to save the gold for the poor.
    C. Because the basement was too cold to stay in.
    D. Because she believed that one should always be ready to offer help.
    2. The youngest angel was very angry because _____.
    A. the old angel killed the farmer's cow
    B. the old angel treated the two families differently
    C. the wealthy man gave them a bad place to live
    D. the angel of death took the cow away
    3. Why did the older angel let the farmer's cow die?
    A. Because God wanted the older angel to take the cow.
    B. Because she wanted to teach the youngest angel a lesson.
    C. Because she wanted to save the farmer's wife.
    D. Because she thinks it is unfair to the rich
    4. The story tries to tell the reader that ______.

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。
