    I learned about life from an ant farm. When I was seven years old, my family created one. First, we
    put clean sand in a thin glass box, and then we waited for the live ants to arrive. Shortly after the chilly
    ants were dropped into the glass structure, they got to work making tunnels. I was amazed that each one
    knew exactly what to do. After hours of staring, I realized that the ants had assigned jobs. With my
    mom ' s help, I kept a diary of what happened each day and named the ants.
    One day a tragedy struck the ant farm. The pages of the diary, still wrinkled where tear drops fell,
    indicate the depth of the tragedy.' I had put my face so close to the structure that I accidentally tipped it
    over, caving in all the tunnels. Although the ants survived their earthquake, one by one they began to die.
    I was terrified as I watched them give up their tunnel-building to carry the bodies to a comer of the farm. My mother reported that the ants were dying of "frustration." They simply could not stand the reality that
    their tunnels had been destroyed.
    Although much time has passed, I still think of that ant farm. Mom had hoped it would teach me
    about the natural world, but it taught me much more. Over the years, I came to realize the ants were a
    study in the benefits of teamwork. Working together, they were able to create an amazing world for
    themselves. I also learned that they should be admired for their hard work. Day in and day out, each
    labored at their task. The ant farm showed that teamwork and perseverance are indeed two key
    ingredients to success. But there was an even larger lesson that I did not realize until recently: Adversity (不幸、灾祸) is a natural part of life, and must be accepted. Unlike the ants, humans cannot give up
    when they face disappointment. Unlike the ants, we have to realize that if a tunnel caves in, we just have
    to build another. Giving up, I say, is not a choice.
    1. The family created an ant farm in a glass box because it was easy _____.
    A. for the ants to live in
    B. to get sun light in
    C. to keep the sand clean
    D. for the boy to observe
    2. What made the pages of the diary wrinkled?
    A. The tears.
    B. The earthquake
    C. The ants.
    D. The tragedy.
    3. What did the writer finally realize?
    A. Perseverance is the only way to success.
    B. Humans cannot give up when facing adversity.
    C. People should admire anyone for their hard work.
    D. His mother taught him much more.
    4. When did the writer draw a more important lesson from his experience?

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。
