    Some people bring out the best in you in a way that you might never have fully realized on your own.
    My mom was one of those people.
    My father died when I was nine months old, making my mom a single mother at the age of eighteen.
    While I was growing up, we lived a very hard life. We had little money, but my mom gave me a lot of love.
    Each night, she sat me on her lap and spoke the words that would change my life, "Kemmons, you are
    certain to be a great man and you can do anything in life if you work hard enough to get it."
    At fourteen, I was hit by a car and the doctors said I would never walk again. Every day, my mother
    spoke to me in her gentle, loving voice, telling me that no matter what those doctors said, I could walk again
    if I wanted to badly enough. She drove that message so deep into my heart that I finally believed her. A year
    later, I returned to school - walking on my own!
    When the Great Depression (大萧条) hit, my mom lost her job. Then I left school to support the both
    of us. At that moment, I was determined never to be poor again.
    Over the years, I experienced various levels of business success. But the real turning point occurred on
    a vacation I took with my wife and five kids in 1951. I was dissatisfied with the second-class hotels available
    for families and was angry that they charged an extra $2 for each child. That was too expensive for the
    average American family. I told my wife that I was going to open a motel (汽车旅馆) for families that would
    never charge extra for children. There were plenty of doubters at that time.
    Not surprisingly, mom was one of my strongest supporters. She worked behind the desk and even
    designed the room style. As in any business, we experienced a lot of challenges. But with my mother's
    words deeply rooted in my soul, I never doubted we would succeed. Fifteen years later, we had the largest
    hotel system in the world-Holiday Inn. In 1979 my company had 1,759 inns in more than fifty countries
    with an income of $ 1 billion a year.
    You may not have started out life in the best situation. But if you can find a task in life worth working for
    and believe in yourself, nothing can stop you.

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。
