    My Garden by Nelson Mandela
    In early 1977, the authorities (当局) announced the physical labour and arranged some kind of work for
    us to do in the courtyard. The free time also allowed me to hunt what became two of my favorite hobbies in
    Robben Island-gardening and tennis.
    To survive in prison, one must develop ways to take satisfaction in one's daily life. One can feel fulfilled
    (充实) by washing one's clothes so that they are particularly clean. Just as one takes pride in important tasks
    outside of prison, one can find the same pride in doing small things inside prison.
    Almost from the beginning of my sentence on Robben Island, I asked the authorities for permission to
    start a garden in the courtyard For years, they refused without offering a reason But finally they gave in, and
    we were able to cut out a small garden on a narrow patch of earth against the far wall.
    The soil in the courtyard was dry and rocky. In order to start my garden, I had to remove a great many
    rocks to allow the plant room to grow.
    The authorities supplied me with seeds. At first, I planned tomatoes and onions, because these plants did
    not require rich earth or constant care. The early harvests were poor, but they soon improved.
    I began to order books on gardening. I studied different gardening techniques and types of fertilizers (肥
    料). I did not have many of the materials the book discussed, but I learned by trial and error (反复实验). For
    a time, I tried to grow peanuts, and used different soils and fertilizers, but finally I gave up. It was one of my
    few failures.
    A garden was one of the few things in prison that one could control. The process of planting a seed,
    watching it grow, taking care of it and then harvesting it offered a simple but long-lasting satisfaction. The
    sense of being the owner of the small patch of earth offered a small taste of freedom.

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。
