    Last week I visited my friend Pete in the new home where he lives with his wife and daughter. Pete
    used to spend his holidays travelling the world, visiting the pyramids in Egypt or scuba diving(潜水) in the
    Caribbean. Nowadays he prefers to spend his holidays and weekends making his house look more
    beautiful. Like hundreds of thousands of other British people, he has discovered the joy of DIY (Do It
    Yourself), which means if there are any things that need fixing around the house, he will try to do the job
    himself.
    As he showed me the new kitchen he put together by himself and the newly painted walls, I asked
    Pete where he got his inspiration (灵感) from. He told me that his favorite source of ideas was a DIY
    program on TV.
    This got me thinking about the great popularity of DIY programs in the UK. Each major channel has at least one home or garden improving show and there’s even a satellite channel completely about the
    subject.
    I guess it is not really surprising that DIY programs are so popular. Two common sayings in Britain- ‘an Englishman’s home is his castle’ and ‘there’s no place like home’-show how important our houses are to us. With the present economic downturn, many people can’t afford to buy a gigger house so they
    are looking at how they can make their house better without spending a lot of money. DIY is the perfect
    choice.
    But be careful! I read a report that said over 230,000 people were injured while doing home
    improvements in the UK in just one year, including 41,000 who fell off ladders(梯子) and 5,800 who were seriously hurt by hammers. So I won’t be going down to the hardware store.

    1. How did Pete spend his holiday in the past?          

    A. Visiting his friends.
    B. Diving.
    C. Travelling around the world.
    D. Making his house beautiful.

    2. Which might NOT be shown in a DIY program on TV?             

    A. Scuba diving
    B. A garden improving feature.
    C. Home improvements.
    D. Fixing things in kitchens
    3. Which is NOT the reason why DIY is popular among British people?           

    A. They enjoy DIY.
    B. They want to make their houses better themselves.
    C. They can improve their houses without spending much money.
    D. They want to be on TV.

    4. At the end of the article the writer wants us to remember _____.

    A. not to go to the hardware store
    B. to be careful not to get hurt while doing DIY
    C. to keep watching DIY on TV while drinking a nice cup of tea
    D. not to climb ladders or use hammers

    5. It can be inferred from the article that _____.

    A. people in the UK like DIY more than people in other countries
    B. DIY programs are the most popular in the UK
    C. home is the most important place to the English
    D. British people can’t afford to buy houses during the economic downturn

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。
