    Perhaps every old generation since ancient times has complained about young people, and today is no different. Isn't it clear that compared with our glorious selves, kids these days are self-absorbed social
    network addicts?
    However, this summer, my impression of today's kids has been restored by the story of Rachel
    Beckwith. She could teach my generation a great deal about maturity and unselfishness - even though
    she's just 9 years old, or was when she died on July 23.
    At age 5, Rachel had her long hair shorn off and sent to Locks of Love, which uses hair donations to
    make artificial hair for children who have lost their own hair because of cancer or other diseases. After
    that, Rachel announced that she would grow her hair long again and donate it again. And that's what she
    did.
    Then when she was 8 years old, her church began raising money to build wells in Africa through an
    organization called charity: water. Rachel was astonished when she learned that other children had no
    clean water, so she skipped her ninth birthday party. Rachel set up a birthday page on the charity: water
    website with a target of $300. Instead of presents, she asked her friends to donate $9 each to charity:
    water. Finally Rachel raised only $220 - which had left her just a bit disappointed.
    Then, on July 20, a serious traffic accident  left Rachel critically injured. Church members and friends,
    seeking some way of showing support, began donating on Rachel's birthday page - charitywater
    .org/Rachel - and donations reached her $300 goal, and kept rising.
    But Rachel couldn't hear that she had raised beyond the $47,544 that the singer Justin Bieber had
    raised for charity: water on his 17th birthday. "I think Rachel would have been overjoyed for she secretly
    had acrush on(迷恋) him," Rachel's mom said.
    When it was clear that Rachel would never regain consciousness, the family decided to remove the life
    support system. Her parents donated her hair for the final time to Locks of Love, and her organs to other
    children.
    Word about Rachel's last fund-raising spread. Contributions poured in, often in $9 each. The total
    donations soon topped $100,000, then $300,000.
    This is a story not just of one girl, but of a young generation of outstanding problem-solvers working
    creatively.
    1. What does the author think of today's kids after he knew the story of Rachel Beckwith?
    A. They are good at social network.
    B. They have narrow minds and care about nothing.
    C. They are unselfish as grown-ups.
    D. They can get problems settled effectively.
    2. When was it that Rachel's hair was donated for the final time to Locks of Love?
    A. At her age of 5.
    B. Before her ninth birthday.
    C. Right after the traffic accident.
    D. After her death.
    3. Why did each of Rachel's friends donate $9 to charity: water?
    A. Because she died at the age of 9 and they wanted to honor her.
    B. Because she had asked them to do that.
    C. Because she set up her birthday page on June 9th.
    D. Because she began to raise money from her ninth birthday.

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。
