    Where we live, on the eastern shore of Maryland, the gentle waters run in and out like fingers slimming at the tips.
    The Canada geese know this place, as do the white swans and the ducks.In autumn, they come home
    for the winter.Once or twice each year, snow and frozen rain move into the area.When this happens, if the river is at its narrowest, there is a freeze which hardens the water to ice.
    One morning, a friend of mine set the breakfast table beside the huge window, which overlooked the
    Tred Avon River.Suddenly she leaned forward and cried out, "There is a goose out there."
    We saw the figure of a large Canada goose, very still, its wings folded tight to its sides, its feet frozen
    into the ice.
    Then from the dark skies, she saw a line of swans.They floated from the top of the sky downward
    and at last landed on the ice.My friend was on her feet now, with one hand against her mouth, unbelieving.As the swans surrounded the frozen goose, she feared that life it still had might be pecked(啄) out by
    those great swan bills.
    Instead, those bills began to work on the ice.The long necks were lifted and curved down, again and
    again.It went on for a long time.At last, the goose's head was lifted.Its body was pulled.Then the goose
    was free and stood on the ice.And the swans stood in the air watching.Then, as if it had cried, "I cannot
    fly."Four of the swans came down around it.Their powerful beaks chipped off the ice held in the feathers.
    Slowly, the goose spread its wings as far as they would go, and moved slowly into the sky.
    This is a true story.I just think of it in the bad moment, and from it comes only one hopeful question:If
    so for birds, why not for man?

    1. Which would be the best title for the passage?

    A. Why Not for Man?
    B. Graceful Swans
    C. Swans' Brave Act
    D. I Just Couldn't Believe It!

    2. What happened to the Canada goose?

    A. It was deserted by other geese.
    B. It was stuck in the ice.
    C. It was wounded and couldn't fly.
    D. It was lost in the water.

    3. At first the author's friend was worried that________.

    A. the swans would not help the Canada goose
    B. she didn't care about this matter any more
    C. the swans wouldn't identify with the Canada goose
    D. the swans would peck the Canada goose to death

    4. What did the swans do when they saw the Canada goose couldn't fly?

    A. They chipped off the ice held in its feathers.
    B. They waited patiently for the ice held in its feathers to melt.
    C. They came down and lifted it up to the sky together.
    D. They stayed with it and protected it.

本试题 “阅读理解Where we live, on the eastern shore of Maryland, the gentle waters run in and out like fingers slimming at the tips.The Canada geese know t...” 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。
