    An Australian man who has been donating his extremely rare kind of blood for 56 years has saved the
    lives of more than two million babies.
    James Harrison has an antibody in his plasma (血浆) that stops babies dying from Rhesus disease, a
    form of severe anemia (贫血症). He has enabled countless mothers to give birth to healthy babies,
    including his own daughter, Tracey, who had a healthy son thanks to her father's blood.
    Mr. Harrison has been giving blood every few weeks since he was 18 years old and has now added
    up to a total of 984 donations. When he started donating, his blood was regarded so special that his life
    was insured for one million Australian dollars.
    He was also nicknamed the "man with the golden arm" or the "man in two million". He said, "I've never
    thought about stopping. Never." He made a promise to be a donor aged 14 after taking major chest
    surgery in which he needed 13 liters of blood. "I was in hospital for three months," he said. "The blood I
    received saved my life so I made a pledge to give blood when I was 18."
    Just after he started donating he was found to have the rare and life-saving antibody in his blood. At
    the time, thousands of babies in Australia were dying each year of Rhesus disease. Other newborns
    suffered permanent brain damage because of the condition.The disease creates an incompatibility
    between the mother's blood and her unborn baby's blood.
    It stems from one having Rh-positive
    blood and the other Rh-negative.
    His blood has since led to the development of a vaccine (疫苗) called Anti-D. After his blood type
    was discovered, Mr. Harrison volunteered to have a series of tests to help develop the Anti-D vaccine.
    "They insured me for a million dollars so I knew my wife Barbara would be taken care of," he said. "I
    wasn't scared. I was glad to help. I had to sign every form going and basically sign my life away."
    Mr. Harrison is Rh-negative and was given injections of Rh-positive blood. It was found his plasma
    could treat the condition and since then it has been given to hundreds of thousands of women. It has also
    been given to babies after they are born to stop them developing the disease.
    It is estimated he has helped save 2.2 million babies so far. Mr. Harrison is still donating every few
    weeks now.

    B. the mother and the baby have different types of blood
    C. Rhesus disease contributes to permanent brain damage

本试题 “阅读理解。An Australian man who has been donating his extremely rare kind of blood for 56 years has saved thelives of more than two million babies....” 主要考查您对

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。
