    Just over a year ago, life as an orphan (孤儿) girl in Tilinanu, southern Malawi, was uncertain. Relying
    on the kindness of the poor villagers for a roof over their head, many had to sleep in a room that held as
    many as fifteen people, eating a diet mainly of porridge. Their classroom for daily lessons was an open
    space in the bush.
    Now 34 of them have comfortable beds in a smart new home, with a community hall and medical
    centre next to it. Another 175 village children eat there daily, with the adults coming in to learn English; it's an amazing transformation. Even more amazing is that the person behind it is just 21.
    When Alice Pulford was waiting to get into university, she took a five-month teaching position in
    Malawi. She loved the place, and returned in the spring of 2009 to visit her friend Zulu in Tilinanu. His
    aunt Mercy owned land there and was doing her best to provide an education for the orphans, many of
    whom had lost parents to AIDS or malaria (疟疾).
    But after helping Mercy out for some time, Alice realised that what the girls in particular really needed was a safe and permanent place to live. There was a derelict (年久失修的) church on Mercy's land.
    "If you give me the church, I'll set up a home for these children," Alice told her.Mercy agreed.
    Alice phoned home and told her family about her plan. The family had already helped Alice raise £
    1,800 to assist the orphans. After they received Alice's call, they threw themselves into raising another £6,000, organising theatre trips and special parties and dinners.
    Alice found Malawian builders, selected materials and even helped with the brick-laying. In ten
    weeks, the church became a dormitory with toilets and a living area. In spring last year, Alice raised
    another £19,000 to build the medical centre and two new dormitories.
    The girls are happier-and so is Alice, who has been spending around four months in Malawi a year.
    "The orphans think they're gaining from me, but when I see their smile, it transforms me," she says.
    1. Over a year ago, the orphans didn't have _______.
    A. a classroom
    B. a teacher
    C. shelter
    D. food
    2.What is known about the home Alice has built for the orphans?
    A. It looks like a community hall.
    B. It depends on the villagers' help.
    C. It provides a place for recreation.
    D. It benefits both the children and adults.
    3. The  Pulfords' family are _______.
    A. short of money
    B. fond of entertainments
    C. supportive of each other
    D. unaware of Alice's plan
    4.What has Alice learned from her experience?
    A. Money-raising is a family business.
    B. Winning orphans' smile calls for skills.
    C. AIDS has made many children parentless.
    D. Helping others brings changes in a person.

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。
