    Early one morning the subinspector at a station at the other end of the town rang me. An
    elephant was damaging the town. Would I please come and do something about it?
    I did not know what I could do, but I got onto a horse and started out.  I took my gun,
    maybe too small to kill an elephant, but I thought the noise might scare him. Various local
    people stopped me on the way and told me about the elephant's doings.
    It was not, of course, a wild elephant, but a tame one. It had been chained up but last
    night it had broken its chain and escaped. Its owner had set out to run after it, but had taken
    the wrong direction. He was now twelve hours' journey away, and in the morning the elephant
    had suddenly appeared in the town. It had already destroyed somebody's bamboo hut (棚屋),
    killed a cow and turned over fruitstalls.
    I came round the hut and saw a man's dead body sprawling in the mud.  He was an Indian,
    and he could not have been dead many minutes. The people said that the elephant caught him
    with its trunk, put its foot on his back and grounded him into the earth. This was the rainy season
    and he was lying on his stomach in the soft mud,the peacebreakerstanding beside, looking
    innocent.
    As I lifted my gun, I hesitated a few seconds. Then I fired. That was a shot that did for him.
    You could see the pain of it knock the last strength from his legs. But in falling he seemed for
    a moment to rise, his trunk reaching skyward like a tree. He trumpeted, for the first and only time.
    And then down he came, with a crash that shook the ground.
    1. Which of the following statements about the author is TRUE?
    A. He was an Indian.
    B. He knew elephants well.
    C. He was not a local villager.
    D. He was the owner of the elephant
    2. The elephant made so much trouble because ________.
    A. its owner treated him cruelly
    B. it got out of control
    C. it hated the village people
    D. it was a wild elephant
    3. The underlined words "the peacebreaker" in Paragraph 4 refer to ________.
    A. the elephant
    B. the dead man
    C. the author
    D. the subinspector
    4. It can be inferred that the author felt ________ when he shot the elephant.
    A. excited
    B. sad
    C. frightened
    D. happy

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。
