    Benjamin Franklin, Walter Isaacson tells us at the beginning of his long (but never boring)new
    biography(传记), "is the founding father who winks at us."By that, Isaacson explains, he means
    Franklin is the most human-and most modern-of the men who shaped the American republic.We
    admire Washington, Jefferson and Adams, but they remain creatures of the 18th century.The man
    we encounter in"Benjamin Franklin"-funny, pragmatic and selfaware-seems like one of us, or at least
    someone we'd like to be.
    Unlike Washington's cherry tree, Franklin's kite was real.His experiments with electricity made
    him one of the great scientists of his day.He was a middleclass businessman whose success as a printer
    and a journalist allowed him to retire at 42-and he devoted the rest of his life to his country.He was
    diplomat who persuaded the French to back the American Revolution and the author of the first great
    American autobiography.He was an excellent swimmer.There was almost nothing he couldn't do well,
    except write poetry.But what truly distinguished Franklin was his talent of being great and human at the
    same time.He owned slaves as a younger man, but in his last years became an abolitionist(废奴主义者). When he fathered an illegitimate(私生的) son, he acknowledged his fatherhood and took the
    responsibility of raising the boy.
    He seems strange today in the joy he took in compiling and creating all  those selfimprovement
    maximshe published inPoorRichard'sAlmanac(年鉴)- "early to bed, early to rise"and so on.
    Generations of lazy boys could have been happier without that.But he was no hypocrite.Isaacson tells
    us Franklin practiced what he preached, and often laughed athimselfwhile he did so.
    By a happy accident, this is the second excellent biography of Franklin to appear in two years, after
    Edmund S. Morgan's inspiring"BenjaminFranklin."

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。
