    Acting is such an over-crowded profession that the only advice that should be given to a
    young person thinking of going on the stage is "Don't!". But it is useless to try to discourage
    someone who feels that he must act, though the chances of his becoming famous are slim. The
    normal way to begin is to go to a drama school. Usually only students who show promise and
    talent are accepted, and the course lasts two years. Then the young actor or actress takes up
    work with a repertory company, usually as an assistant stage manager. This means doing
    everything that there is to do in the theatre: painting scenery, looking after the furniture, taking
    care of the costumes, and even acting in very small parts. It is very hard work indeed. The hours
    are long and the salary is tiny. But young actors with the stage in their blood are happy, waiting for
    the chances of working with a better company, or perhaps in films or television.
    Of course, some people have unusual chances which lead to fame and success without this
    long and dull training. Connie Pratt, for example, was just an ordinary girl working in a bicycle
    factory. A film producer happened to catch sight of her one morning waiting at a bus stop, as he
    drove past in his big car. He told the driver to stop, and he got out to speak to the girl. He asked
    her if she would like to go to the film studio to do a test, and at first she thought he was joking.
    Then she got angry and said she would call the police. It took the producer twenty minutes to tell
    Connie that he was serious. Then an appointment was made for her to go to the studio the next day.
    The test was successful. They gave her some necessary lessons and within a few weeks she was
    playing the leading part opposite one of the most famous actors of the day. Of Course, she was
    given a more dramatic name, which is now world-famous. But chances like this happen once in
    a blue moon!
    1. According to the passage, the main reason why young people should be discouraged from
    becoming actors is ______.
    A. actors are very unusual people
    B. the course at the drama school lasts two years
    C. acting is really a hard job
    D. there are already too many actors
    2. According to the context, the sentence "But young actors with the stage in their blood are happy"
    at the end of the first paragraph means ______.
    A. they don't care if their job is hard
    B. they like the stage naturally
    C. they are born happy
    D. they are easily satisfied
    3. Connie Pratt soon became a famous actress after ______.
    A. learning some lessons about the art of speaking
    B. playing her part in the "Blue Colored Moon"
    C. successfully matching the most famous actors
    D. acting a leading part with a most famous actor at that time
    4. The phrase "once in a blue moon" in last line means ______.
    A. all at once
    B. once for a long time
    C. once in a while
    D. once and for all

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。
  • 历史文化类阅读

什么是历史文化类阅读:

本类题型常用的方式是夹叙夹议。叙述的目的是为了议,所以要把握其议才是主要方面。阅读这类文章,先弄清其引入的话题,再弄清里面人物对其不同的看法,然后理解作者本身对话题的观点看法或思考。


历史文化类阅读技巧:

题型说明】历史文化类阅读理解文章属高考常选材料之一。这类文章常涉及历史、文化、法制、宗教等方面的文学艺术、发明创造、文化遗产保护、宗教与文化、风俗与习惯、道德与法制、中外文学名著节选、等等。这类材料的命题点往往落在主旨大意题、事实细节题上。
答题方法】在做这类阅读理解题时,我们应注意以下几个方面:
1、采用先题后文:先读题目,再带着问题读文章。这类阅读理解文章相对来说事实细节题稍多一点,如果带着问题读文章,有利于我们抓细节。
2、先做细节题。因为做完了局部性的事实细节题后,自然会加深我们对文章的理解,这样更有利于做主旨大意题。
3、重点敲定主旨题。主旨大意题提问的形式主要有两大类:一类是Main idea型;一类是Topic或Title型。
在解答这类试题时应注意以下几点:
a.读首句抓大意。
文化教育类阅读理解文章多采用说明文、议论文体裁,而这类文章大都采用文章段落的中心,即主题句在文章开头。因此,要寻找这类文章的主旨大意就需要研究文章的首句。
b.读尾句抓大意。
有时这类文章的主题句安排在文章的结尾,作为对全篇的总结。
c.读首段抓大意。
有些文章或段落的开头和结尾部分都有主题句。这种结构是为了突出主题思想而使用两次点题的写作方法。这两个主题句在句子结构和用词上有所不同,而且在内容上前句和后句也不重复。
d.从段落中抓大意。
有些文章或段落的主题句在文章中,这种文章或段落往往以一句话或几句话引出要表达的主题,在主题句出现后,再举例子陈述细节或继续论证。
e.归纳要点抓大意。
有些文章或段落无明显的主题句,只是暗示性地体现主题。这就要求同学们在阅读过程中根据文中所叙述的事实或线索来概括总结主旨大意。
