人物传记类阅读故事类阅读
人物传记类文章的文体特征：
人物传记是记叙文体的一种，主要描写某人的生平事迹、趣闻轶事、生活背景、个性特征、成长奋斗历程等，包含记叙文的时间、地点、人物、事件等要素。其特点是以时间的先后或事件的发展为主线，空间或逻辑线索贯穿文章始终，脉络清楚，可读性较强。 人物传记类文章的阅读策略和解题技巧：
1、把握文体特征，注意写作手法如前文所述，人物传记是记叙文体的一种，因此在阅读时要把握好时间、地点、人物和事件这四大要素。其次，还应该注意人物传记类文章的结构多按时间顺序排列，一般采用倒叙的写作手法，有时也采用插叙和补叙等手段。弄清楚人物传记类文章的特征和写作手法，能帮助考生在阅读和回答问题时做到高效省时、准确无误。 2、抓住题干关键词，采用寻读的方法查找细节描述事实细节题是人物传记类文章的主要题型，一般常见以下几种类型： (1)对号入座题：这种题的答案一般在原文中可以直接找到，只要读懂文章，掌握文章中的事实，如时间、地点、事件等细节问题，就能选对正确答案。 (2)词义转换题：这种题常常是原文有关词语和句子的转换，而不能在原文中直接找到。它要求考生能理解原文中某个短语或句子的含义，从而找到与答案意思相同的词语和句子。 (3)是非题：该题型俗称“三缺一”题型，即题目四个选项中有三个符合文章内容，剩下一个不符合。题干多为：Which of the following isTRUE?或者三个不符合文章内容，剩下一个符合，题干多为：Which of the following…isNOTtrue?或All the following are true EXCEPT(4)排序题：这种题要求考生根据动作发生的先后顺序和句子之间的逻辑关系，找出事件发生的正确顺序。可采用“首尾定位法”，即先找出第一个动作和最后一个动作，迅速缩小选择范围，从而快速选出正确答案。 (5)指代理解题：一般是在人物或事物关系比较复杂的情况下使用的一种题型，所以理清人物及事物之间的逻辑关系是关键所在。可采用“逻辑关系梳理法”，使人物或事件关系清晰条理。不管题型如何，在做事实细节题时，可采用比较实用的方法一有目的的阅读。在阅读时，首先看题目要求我们理解什么细节，找出关键词，然后以此为线索，运用寻读的技巧迅速在文章里找出相应的段落、句子或短语。认真比较选项和文中细节的区别，在正确理解细节的前提下，确定最佳答案。这样一来，既提高了阅读的速度，又能确保答案的准确率。同时，建议阅读文章时把与答案相符的句子或短语用红线标示出来，标号注上是哪一题答案的相关句子，这样在检查时就不必重新阅读整篇文章了。 3、抽丝剥茧，推理判断深层含义推理判断题主要提问那些未曾在文中说明，但已特别暗示的内容，考查考生对文章的准确理解和判断。人物传记类文章常见的推理判断题型为： (1)细节推断题：要求考生根据语篇关系，推断具体细节，如时间、地点、人物关系、人物身份、事件等。一般可根据短文提供的信息，或者借助生活常识进行推理判断。 (2)因果推断题：要求考生根据已知结果推测导致结果的可能原因。考生要准确掌握文章的内涵，理解文章的真正含义。 (3)人物性格、作者态度及观点判断题：人物传记类文章中有些是考查考生对作者的主导思想、被描写人物的语气、言语中流露的情绪、性格倾向和作者或文中人物态度、观点等方面的理解题。推理判断题要求在理解原文表面文字信息的基础上做出一定推论和判断，从而得到文章的隐含意义和深层意义。解答此类题时，要注意： (1)吃透文章的字面意思，从字里行间捕捉有用的提示和线索，这是推理的前提和基础。 (2)对文字的表面信息进俐宅掘加工，由表及里，由浅入深。从具体到抽象，从特殊到一般，通过分析、综合、判断等进行符合逻辑的推理。不能就事论事，断章取义，以偏概全。 (3)基于文章内容，以文章提供的事实和线索为依据，立足已知，推断未知。不能主观臆想，凭空想象，随意揣测，更不能以自己的观点代替作者的观点。 (4)把握句、段之间的逻辑关系，了解语篇的结构。要体会文章的基调，揣摸作者的态度，摸准逻辑发展的方向，悟出作者的弦外之音。 (5)注意文中所用词句的感情色彩，是讽刺性的，批评性的，赞成性的，还是反对性的，以便推测作者的观点和态度。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。

C选项climate为"气候（指某一地区长期的天气状况）"；scenery为"景色"；burden为"负担"，均不合文意。小题5:D。考查动词辨析。联系下文可知作者"碰巧也是"去上班中的一个，happen to be表示"碰巧是…"。而used to be表示"过去常常（现在已经不再那样了）"；promise to表示"允诺去做…";deserve to do表示"理应做，值得做"，均不符合文意与语境。小题6:D。考查名词辨析。根据语境：作者去了地铁，却发现大多数地铁都已经停止运行服务了，所以用service,表示"（地铁的运行）服务"。而practice表示"练习；惯例做法"；routine表示"常规；例行公事"；process表示"过程；程序"，均不符合语境。小题7:B。考查介词辨析。根据语境：make one's way through the crowds of people在人群中挤出一条路。make one's way to:表示"通往…"；make one's way for:表示"让步于…"，均不合文意。小题8:A。考查动词辨析。operate表示"操作，运转，运行"。作者最终发现一条地铁还在运行。cycle 表示"循环，周期"；turn表示"变得；转弯"；rush表示"冲进，匆促"，均不符合语境。小题9:D。考查动词辨析。根据语意：那么多人在等待上车…；board the subway表示"木版；登车，上车（船、飞机等）"。Check表示"核查；登记"；carry"携带，搬运"；find"找到"，均不合文意。小题10:D。考查名词辨析。根据语境："我"甚至无法踏上站台的台阶。Platform"站台"。其它不合语境。小题11:C。考查动词辨析。根据语境：最终过了好长时间，地铁终于停在了我的那一站。联系下文Then I had to …一句可知作者先坐了一程地铁，然后又在雨中步行了几个街区。pause表示"暂停，中止"；cross表示"交叉；越过"；park表示"停车"，均不合文意。小题12:A。考查形容词辨析。be wet through:浑身湿透了。（由于作者冒雨而行，在到达办公室时已经湿透了。）根据文章下一句：My co-workers and I spent most of the day drying off.作者与同事一起花费了大半天的时间才晾干也可知。其它不合语境。小题13:B。考查动词辨析。要认真体会作者的情感、态度：此时由于作者浑身湿透，所以到办公室时已经是疲惫不堪了，所以此时作者的情绪应该是"沮丧的，泄气的"。这也可以根据下文形成对比：作者收到经理的E-mail而变的愉快起来。ashamed"惭愧的"；surprised"吃惊的"；puzzled "迷惑"，均不符合语境。小题14:B。考查连词。when表示"就在这时"。其它不合语境。小题15:D。考查副词辨析。eventually表示"最终"；hardly&表示"几乎不"；casually 表示"偶然地，随意地"absolutely 表示"完全地"。根据文意：我很感谢你们所有的不顾艰辛最终来上班的人。小题16:A。考查名词辨析。句意为：…，当员工们表明他们对于工作的投入时…。devotion表示"投入"；donation 表示"捐赠"；concern表示"关心"；reaction表示"反应"。(show one's concern for sth表示"对…关心")小题17:C。考查形容词辨析。联系文章，经理的这封e-mail并不长，所以用brief表示"简短的"。accurate&表示"精确的"；urgent表示"急切的"；humorous表示"幽默的"。小题18:B。考查名词辨析。句意为：这封e-mail让我知道即使是简短的几句感激的话也会有很大的影响。appreciation表示"欣赏，感激"；promise&表示"诺言"；advice表示"建议"；guidance表示"指导，引导"。小题19:A。考查名词辨析。句意为：暴雨和交通阻塞带来的麻烦使得"我"疲惫、烦乱。signals&表示"信号"；rules表示"规则"；signs表示"符号，迹象"，均不正确。小题20:D。考查动词辨析。句意为：经理Garth的话立即使得我提起精神来，让我又面带微笑。Refreshed表示"使...生气蓬勃,提起精神,恢复精神"；correct表示"纠正"；support表示"支持"；amaze 表示"使吃惊"，均不符合语境。点评：本文所选内容逻辑性强，文章结构严谨，层次分明。文章是以第一人称进行叙述、描写的。文章具有启发和教育意义，充分体现考试说明的要求，能够积极引导考生树立正确的人生观、世界观和价值观，增强社会责任感，有利于全面提高人文素养。

New York, the city that never sleeps, fell silent last week— bus and subway s flights were canceled, and even the stock market closed for the first time since 1985. All the disorder was caused by one thing, the arrival of hurricane Sandy.
This big storm landed on Oct 29 on the US east coast and brought damaging winds, flooding, blackouts (停电) and heavy snow. Sandy is one of the largest storms that have ever hit the US, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. By the afternoon of Nov1 (Beijing time), about 140 deaths were caused by the storm as it traveled across the Caribbean islands and into the US.
Unlike most hurricanes that happen during summer, Sandy was strengthened not only by warm ocean water, but also by the cold air coming from the northwest. Sandy’s power grew because of the difference in masses between the warm and wet air and cool and dry air. It became a kind of “super-storm”, the Guardian reported.
The flooding was particularly severe. Scientists said it was because Sandy’s arrival happened together with a full moon, which normally means higher-than-usual tides (潮水). “The most worrying aspect of Sandy is the high tides,” Rhode Island Governor Lincoln Chafee told Reuters before the storm arrived. “With the full moon on Monday, with Sandy coming up the bay, we’re very concerned about flooding in our low-lying coastal areas.”Apart from the power of Sandy itself, another reason why her arrival has caused so much damage is that its target area is crowded with big cities such as New York and Philadelphia. These urban areas are home to tens of millions of people. The flood, the snow and the blackout have brought the country’s financial and political centers to a stop.& “The size of this alone, affecting a heavily populated area, is history making.” Said Jeff Masters, a hurricane specialist. 小题1:The author mentioned the disorder in New York city at the beginning of the article to _______.A．remind us of the problems people might face when disaster strikesB．introduce the disastrous influence of hurricane SandyC．criticize the poor management of the city by the New York governmentD．prove New York suffered most from hurricane Sandy小题2:According to the text, hurricane Sandy _______.A．only got its power from the warm ocean waterB．grew stronger than other hurricanes because of the full moonC．led to flooding in many cities around the USD．brought with it strong winds, high tides, blackouts and heavy snowfall小题3:From the article, we learn that areas hurricane Sandy targeted _______.A．were mostly high landB．were mostly near the seaC．were far away from important citiesD．were empty as people were evacuated (疏散)小题4:What is the main point of the article?A．To show how a super-storm comes into being.B．To explain why hurricane Sandy was so destructive. C．To show that big cities in the US are easily affected by huge hurricanes.D．To explore the best ways to avoid loss when a hurricane hits.

Restaurants in Europe, the United States and Japan are testing technology to let diners order their food direct from a screen at their table instead of depending on a fellow human being to note their choice.Besides cutting costs, companies that sell the “e-menus” argue the bytes-for-bites way has a new value that can attract younger customers, and various photographs of steaks and gooey desserts attract diners to order more. It also could extend the TV dinner. How about a computer game dinner?“It's about impulse-buying,” said Adi Chitayat, Conceptic’s CEO. “If a person starts looking at pictures of chocolate cake, the chances are he'll order it.” Frame, a restaurant in Tel Aviv with the system, is said to have its sales on tables with the e-menu increased by about 11% . Customers often call ahead to reserve （预定）spots equipped with screens, manager Natalie Edry told Reporters.At one of the e-menu tables, IT worker Gil Uriel and his young family were enthusiastic as they checked out pictures of the dishes on offer and squabbled（争吵）overdesserts. “It’s more visual,” says Uriel, as his children clicked away furiously on a games function between courses. “We can still choose, we can still argue —but it’s much easier when we can all see it.”小题1:The following are the advantages of “restaurants with” EXCEPT that &&&&&&&&.A．eating in them is more comfortableB．the restaurants can save a lot of moneyC．they can attract more youngsters to the restaurantsD．customers can see the pictures of their ordered foods小题2:The underlined word “impulse—buying” in the 3rd paragraph means&&&&&.A．having no idea in buying thingsB．being uninterested in buying thingsC．having no patience in buying thingsD．being encouraged in buying things小题3:According to the last paragraph, we know that&&&&&&&.A．customers feel little interest in the e-menusB．e-menus only attract a small number of customersC．it still takes time for e-menus to be widely acceptedD．restaurants of this kind are refused by customers小题4:This passage might be taken from &&&&&.A．a food guideB．a websiteC．a traveling magazineD．classic advertisements

The law has a great many rules, showing when and how far a man is to be punished, or if he should be made to hand over money or property to his neighbors, and so on. These rules are contained in books. A lawyer learns them mainly by reading books.
He begins by doing little else than reading, and after he has prepared himself by three years’ study, still, he has to, almost every day, read more about some new questions which he has to answer.
The power to use books, then, is a special skill which a would-be lawyer ought to possess. He ought to have enough flexibility（灵活性）to make it easy for him to collect ideas from printed words. He ought to have some readiness to find what a book contains, and something of an instinct（直觉）for where to look for what he wants. But although this is the power which he will first feel in need of, it is not the most important. A lawyer does not st he studies it to use it and act upon the rules which he has learned in real life. His business is to try cases in court and to advise people what to do in order to keep out or get out of trouble. 小题1:The first thing a law student has to do is to _______.A．read booksB．hand over moneyC．practice law D．answer questions小题2:The major business of a lawyer is ________.A．to discuss the material he has readB．to advise people who have law problemsC．to learn about real lifeD．to study the law小题3:What is the most important to a lawyer?A．To possess a lot of books.B．To have enough flexibility when collecting ideas from printed words.C．To be able to quickly find out what a book contains.D．To be able to use his book knowledge in the right way in his future business.小题4:According to the passage, a good lawyer should know how to ________.A．understand and use what he reads B．be effective in everythingC．collect ideas from different sourcesD．be effective in court

Just a few hours ago，the Italian ship Andrea Doria was sailing through thick fog toward the city of New York. Captain Piero Calamai kept watch. He knew that many other ships were nearby. He should have slowed down because of the fog but he decided not to. He wanted to arrive on time the next morning.At about 11∶00 PM，another ship，the Stockholm，suddenly hit the Andrea Doria. It made a huge hole in the Italian ship. Some people were badly hurt. Others fell into the sea. But one girl was saved by the Stockholm.Linda Morgan was fourteen. She lived in Spain with her mother and her little sister. She was going to visit her father in New York. She was excited about seeing her father.Linda had loved the trip. She wanted to have dinner with the captain on the last night at sea. The captain did not sit at his table that night，though. He was busy guiding the ship through the fog. Linda did not get to talk to him.When Linda went to bed，everything seemed fine. Her mother turned off the lights. Linda talked to her little sister. She thought about seeing her father the next morning.What happened next was a terrible surprise. Linda woke up not knowing where she was. She was not in her bed. When she called to her family，no one answered. Both her knees were broken.Linda had been saved by an amazing accident.

Can dogs and cats live in perfect harmony in the same home? People who are thinking about adopting a dog as a friend for their cats are worried that they will fight. A recent research has found a new recipe of success. According to the study, if the cat is adopted before the dog, and if they are introduced when still young (less than 6 months for cats, a year for dogs), it is highly probable that the two pets will get along swimmingly. Two-thirds of the homes interviewed reported a positive relationship between their cat and dog. However, it wasn’t all sweetness and light. There was a reported coldness between the cat and dog in 25% of the homes, while aggression and fighting were observed in 10% of the homes. One reason for this is probably that some of their body signals were just opposite. For example, when a cat turns its head away it signals aggression, while a dog doing the same signals submission. In homes with cats and dogs living peacefully, researchers observed a surprising behavior. They are learning how to talk each other’s language. It is a surprise that cats can learn how to talk ‘dog’, and dogs can learn how to talk ‘cat’. What’s interesting is that both cats and dogs have appeared to develop their intelligence. They can learn how to read each other’s body signals, suggesting that the two may have more in common than we previously suspected. Once familiar with each other’s presence and body language, cats and dogs can play together, greet each other nose to nose, and enjoy sleeping together on the sofa. They can easily share the same water bowl and in some cases groom (梳理) each other. The significance of the research on cats and dogs may go beyond pets — to people who don’t get along, including neighbors, colleagues at work, and even world superpowers. If cats and dogs can learn to get along, surely people have a good chance.小题1:The underlined word “swimmingly” in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to “without _________”.A．a messageB．a problemC．introductionD．delay小题2:Some cats and dogs may fight when _________.A．they are cold to each otherB．they look away from each otherC．they misunderstood each other’s signalsD．they are introduced at an early age小题3:What is found surprising about cats and dogs?A．They eat and sleep each other.B．They observe each other’s behaviors.C．They learn to speak each other’s language.D．They know something from each other’s voices.小题4:It is suggested in Paragraph 4 that cats and dogs _________.A．have common interestsB．are less different than was thoughtC．have a common body languageD．are less intelligent than was expected小题5:What can we human beings learn from cats and dogs?A．We should learn to live in harmony.B．We should know more about animals.C．We should live in peace with animals.D．We should learn more body languages.

Britain has laws to make sure that women have the same chances as men in education, jobs and training. But it’s still unusual to find women doing dirty or heavy jobs. Nikki Henriques is a car maintenance engineer in London. She used to be a secretary. Barty Philips, a journalist with “The Observer”, a Sunday newspaper, asked her why she wanted to work with cars. “My first reason was independence(独立),” she said. “I also wanted to use my hands, and I like learning about how things work. Many people prefer to have a woman repair their cars, too.” Nikki didn’t find it easy to become a car maintenance engineer. She went to a Government Skill Centre—a special sort of college where people can learn a new job for twenty weeks. “For ten weeks I was the only woman among four hundred men, and some of them were rude to me. It was also very tiring—from 8 in the morning to 5 in the afternoon, with only 30 minutes for lunch.” Now Nikki works free-lance, that is, she’s self-employed, working for herself and not for a garage or a company.Barty Phillips also spoke to Rose, who works as a general builder in Sheffield, an industrial town in the north of England. Like Nikki, Rose used to be a secretary. “I didn’t enjoy it at all.” she said. “I wanted to do more practical work, and I wanted to be self-employed.” Rose joined a women’s building co-operative, and she learnt her job from other people and from experience. However, many of the women in her group have been specially trained. Most of the jobs they do are improvements to buildings and general repairs. “People often say, ‘Oh, women aren’t strong enough,’ but I don’t think strength is important.” said Rose, “The important thing is to get used to doing a different sort of work.” Rose would like more women to come into the building industry. “Everything built at the moment is a product of man’s world. If women become builders, they will be able to understand the production of their house and their towns.” 小题1:There are laws in Britain to help women _____.A．get higher pay than menB．enjoy more freedom than menC．do whatever they like to doD．have equal chances with men in education and work小题2:The job of a car maintenance engineer is to _____. A．make carsB．sell carsC．repair carsD．keep cars for others小题3:According to Rose, a woman wishing to be a general builder _____.A．must be specially trainedB．should be strong enough C．can learn her job either from others or by experienceD．must get used to doing a different sort of work小题4:The best title for this passage might be _____. A．Nikki Henriques, a car maintenance engineerB．Rose, a General Builder in ShefieldC．Women at WorkD．British Women
