    Juanito Estrella has been a housekeeping manager on the US-based large passenger ship Carnival Spirit for
    18 months and feels he has found the suitable position in his career (职业). He has always wanted to travel.
    "I guess I am a really restless spirit. I like traveling, so when the chance came, I jumped at it," he says.
    The chance came in the form of a newspaper advertisement for work on cruise ships (游船). At the time
    Estrella was the housekeeping manager at a Melbourne hotel. He applied and, after two interviews, a medical
    check and police clearance, the job was his.
    Estrella is responsible (负责的) for the cleanliness of the ship, making sure that 160 crew work properly.
    "I enjoy it because there is no other work-you wake up each day in a different place and a different culture.
    It's exciting when you go to the next country and you don't understand the language," he says.
    Estrella likes being busy and getting to know people from all over the world. The 1,000 crew come from
    94 countries, and Estrella has learnt Spanish and a little Croatian.
    But there is adownside. "You cannot get really drunk...because you have safety responsibilities to yourself
    and others," he says. "You don't really think about home. You start to think about home only when you get
    closer to your vacation and wonder what you'll be doing."
    Life on the ship is anything but cruising. Estrella and his fellows work at least 10 hours a day, seven days
    a week. He warns the job is not for everybody. "You have to love being busy and be prepared to work every
    day-and to give up drinking too much alcohol." In his spare time, if the ship sails into a port, Estrella explores
    it, otherwise he works out in the crew's gym, goes on the internet or calls home.
    1. What do we know about Estrella?
    A. He is very fond of traveling.
    B. He doesn't drink wine now.
    C. He cannot speak a foreign language.
    D. He used to be a housekeeping manager.
    2. The underlined word "downside" in paragraph 5 probably means _____.
    A. disappointment
    B. disadvantage
    C. failure

    3. Which of the following is true?
    A. Estrella doesn't often feel homesick because of his work.
    B. The work on the ship is not suitable for a married person.
    C. Estrella can find no other job except the one on the ship.
    D. The people on the ship are from 94 countries.

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。
