    The week I turned 50, my marriage came to a sudden end. My house, furniture and everything I'd owned
    was sold to pay debts that I didn't even know I had. In a week I had lost my husband, my home and my
    parents who had refused to accept a divorce (离婚) in the family. I'd lost everything except my four teenage
    children. I used every penny I had to buy five plane tickets from Missouri to Hawaii. Everyone said I was crazy
    to think I could just run off to an island and survive. I was afraid they were right.
    Knowing that no one in the world was going to help us, I rented a cheap apartment. I worked 18 hours a
    day and lost 30 pounds because I lived on one meal a day. One night as I walked alone on the beach, I saw the
    red orange glow of the lava (火山岩) pouring out of Kilauea Volcano in the distance. It was time to live my
    imagination!
    The next day, I quit my job and invested my last paycheck in art supplies and began doing what I loved. I
    hadn't painted a picture in 15 years. I wondered if I could still paint. My hands trembled the first time I picked
    up a brush. But before an hour had passed, I was lost in the colors spreading across the canvas (画布) in front
    of me. And as soon as I started believing in myself, other people started believing in me, too. The first painting
    sold for $ 1500 before I even had time to frame it.
    The past six years have been filled with adventures. My children and I have gone swimming with dolphins,
    watched whales and hiked around the crater (火山口) edge of the volcano. We wake up every morning with
    the ocean in front of us and the volcano behind us. The dream I had more than 40 years ago is now reality. I'm
    living freely and happily ever after.
    1. It can be inferred from the passage that ____.
    A. the writer didn't expect her marriage had ended in divorce
    B. the writer's parents encouraged her to divorce
    C. the writer's husband took away most of her property
    D. there was something wrong with the writer's nerves
    2. According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT true?
    A. The writer was sure she could survive in Hawaii.
    B. The writer with her children met with many difficulties when they first arrived in Hawaii.
    C. The writer had ever done paintings before.
    D. The writer doubted if she could paint well at first.
    3. The writer's dream was to ____.
    A. live in nature with animals
    B. live near volcanoes and oceans
    C. become a successful painter

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。
