    When Josephine Cooper was growing up, she learned the importance of charity from her parents. Although
    they made a modest living for their family of 10, they insisted on sharing with those less fortunate.
    Half a century later, Mrs. Cooper became a beloved volunteer at the San Diego Food Bank, where she
    devoted herself to helping others. She organized and ran a distribution center from a church, helping it become
    the organization's largest emergency food distribution center in San Diego. She was one of 25 outstanding senior
    volunteers in the nation selected and invited Washington D.C. to receive the award.
    "She was the main person who helped us make that program grow," said Mike Doody, former director of
    the Food Bank. "She had a way of getting people to work together and to work hard. She was determined and
    stubborn, but in a good way. She had a good heart." People knew her as "Grandma" because of her selflessness
    and her devotion to helping hungry children and families. "She reminded people of their Grandma." Doody said.
    As a widow with a young child in 1979, Mrs. Cooper was helped through a difficult financial time when the
    Food Bank provided her with groceries. "She devoted her life to giving back," said her daughter, Monica Cooper. It wasn't unusual for a local church to call Mrs. Cooper to ask her to aid a needy family. "She would give people
    food out of her cupboard. Sometimes we would cook a meal for a family living out of their car," Cooper said.
    Although Mrs. Cooper was honored to receive the national award for her volunteer work, she said being able
    to help others was her reward. She died of liver disease and kidney failure, aged 93.

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。
