    Britain's oldest man made his first visit to London yesterday at the age of 110. Mr. John Evans had never
    found the time or the money-to make the trip from his house near Swansea. But, when British Rail offered
    him an all-expenses-paid birthday trip to the capital, he just could not refuse.
    Until yesterday he had never been far from home, except for one trip to Aberdeen. Mr. Evans, who spent
    60 years working as a miner in South Wales, almost made the journey to London once before, at the turn of
    the century. "There was a trip to the White City but it was ten shillings (1 shilling =1/20 pound) return from
    Swansea-too much I thought. All my money went to the family then," he said.
    During the next two days Mr. Evans will be taken on a whistle-stop tour of London to see the sights. Top
    of his list is a visit to the Houses of Parliament (国会).
    The only arrangement he does not care for is the wheelchair provided to move him about if he gets tired.
    "I don't like the chair business-people will so think I am getting old," he said.
    His secret for a long and healthy life has been well publicized-no alcohol, no cigarette and no angry. Before
    setting off from Swansea with his 76-year-old son, Amwel, he quipped, "I'm glad to see they've given me a
    return ticket."
    1. It's reported that Mr. Evans's healthy long life was to a certain extent due to his _____.
    [     ]

    A. wine drinking

    2. Which of the following statements is true?
    [     ]

    A. A single trip from Mr. Evans's house to the White City used to be ten shillings.
    B. The first place for Mr. Evans to visit is the Houses of Parliament.
    C. He appreciated people's arrangement of a wheelchair during his visit
    D. Mr. Evans once made the journey to London at the end of the century.
    3. The word "quip" in the last sentence most probably means _____.
    [     ]

    A. to make a witty remark
    B. to express a happy message
    C. to make a wish
    D. to tell a joke
    4. What might be the best title for this passage?
    [     ]

    A. 110-year-old Tourist
    B. Secret for Long and Healthy Life
    C. Free Return Ticket
    D. Sightseeing in London

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。
