    A lot of us lose life's tough battles by starting a frontal  attack - when a touch of humor might
    well enable us to win. Consider the case of a young friend of mine, who was trapped in a traffic
    jam on his way to work shortly after receiving a warning about being late for the job. Although
    there was a good reason for Sam's a being late - serious illness at home - he decided that this by
    now-familiar excuse wouldn't work any longer. His boss was probably already pacing up and dow
    n preparing a dismissal speech.
    Yes, the boss was. Sam entered the office at 9:35. The place was as quiet as a locker room
    (更衣室); everyone was hard at work. Sam's boss came up to him. Suddenly, Sam smiled and
    stretched out his hand. "How do you do!" he said. "I'm Sam Maynard. I'm applying for a job,
    which, I understand, became available just 35 minutes ago. Does the early bird get the worm?"
    The room exploded in laughter. However, the bossclamped off a smile and walked back to
    his office. Sam Maynard had saved his job - with the only tool that could win, a laugh.
    Humor is a most effective, yet frequently neglected, means of handling the difficult situations
    in our lives. It can be used for patching up differences, apologizing, saying "no", criticizing, getting
    the other fellow to do what you want without his losing face. For some jobs, it's the only tool that
    can succeed. It is a way to discuss subjects so sensitive that serious dialogue may start a quarrel.
    For example, many believe that comedians  on television are doing more today for racial and
    religious tolerance than people in any other field.
    1. Why was Sam late for his job?
    A. He was ill.
    B. He was caught in a traffic jam.
    C. He was busy applying for a new job.
    D. He got up late.
    2. The underlined phrase "clamped off" in the third paragraph probably means __________.
    A. burst into
    B. tried to set up
    C. tried to hold back
    D. gave out
    3. Which of the following statements can we infer from the text?
    A. Sam was supposed to come to his office at 8:30.
    B. It wasn't the first time that Sam came late for his work.
    C. Humor is the most effective way of solving problems.
    D. All people lose life's battles for they are lacking in a sense of humor.

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。
