    About 70 scientists were working on a very busy project.All of them felt really desperate due to the
    pressure of work and the demands of their boss but everyone was loyal to him and did not think of
    quitting their job.
    One day,one scientist came to his boss and told him,"Sir,I've promised to take my children to the
    exhibition going on in our township so I want to leave at 5:30 pm" His boss replied,"OK.You're permitted
    to leave the office early today."
    The scientist started working.He continued his work after lunch.As usual, he got involved to such an
    extent that he looked at his watch only when he felt he was close to completion.The time was 8:30 pm.
    Suddenly he remembered his promise to the children.He looked for his boss but he was not there.Having
    told him in the morning himself, he closed everything and left for home.Deep within himself, he was feeling
    guilty for having disappointed his children.He reached home.The children were not there.His wife alone
    was sitting in the hall and reading magazines.The_situation_was_explosive;any_talk_would_boomerang_on_him.His wife asked him,"Would you like to have coffee or shall I straight away serve dinner if you are
    hungry?" The man replied,"If you would like to have coffee, I will have too, but what about the children?"
    His wife replied,"You don't know?Your boss came here at 5:15 pm and has taken them to the exhibition."
    What had really happened was the boss who gave him permission was observing him working
    seriously at 5:00 pm. He thought to himself:this person will not leave the work,but he's promised to take
    his children to the exhibition.So he took the lead in taking them there.The boss does not have to do it
    every time.But once it's done, loyalty is established.
    That is why all the scientists at Thumba continued to work under their boss even though the stress
    was extraordinarily huge.By the way,can you boldly guess who the boss was?He was none other than
    the mastermind behind India's successful nuclear weapons program,Dr.APJ Abdul Kalam,former
    president of India.

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。
