题目内容
12.About two weeks earlier,I received a bundle of letters and drawings in the mail from a boy.The covering letters read:"To the pancreatic(胰腺的)cancer team at Columbia Presbyterian
My name is Adam Abramowitz.I am a 5th grader at Seely Place Elementary School in Edgemont,NY.Over the past few years I have had many fundraisers to raise money to donate to pancreatic cancer research at your hospital.I hope to stop this disease.Today I am sending you letters that were written by my class and me.These were made to share with your patients to brighten their day."
The 13 cards included drawings of flowers,messages of hope and love,and jokes to brighten the patients'days.Normally,it is rare for someone in 5th grade to step outside him/herself and help those in need.I quickly learned,Adam is not your normal kid.
His story starts at the age of 6.His cousins had recently showed him how to weave potholders(防烫套垫).Adam's grandfather works in the field of pancreatic cancer and would often tell Adam how dangerous the disease was and how little was understood about pancreatic cancer compared to the other major cancers.Adam saw this hobby as an opportunity to make some money and donate it to pancreatic cancer research.After weaving several problems,he sold them door-to-door around his neighborhood,often times hitting the same houses multiple times.And then Adam started to consider what was popular with kids of his age.This led him to start selling bracelets(手镯),using the weaving techniques he used for the potholders.He stood outside of his local train station,selling bracelets to people.Adam once set up a carnival-like game to attract potential donors.With the help pf his father,Adam built his own website,www.endpc.net,selling the potholders and bracelets to help the battle against pancreatic cancer.

点评 人物故事类阅读理解文章是高考英语常考材料之一.这类文章一般可分为人物传记和短篇故事两类.这两类阅读材料一般较长,即词数多,而且命题也较多,特别是推理判断题和事实细节题多.在做此类阅读理解题时往往是材料看得懂,题目不好做的感觉.因此,在阅读材料时要重点放在事情发展的过程和结果上,注意把握事件的发展进程及人物之间的关系,细节与主题的关系,用以说明人物性格特点的事实、作者的态度等,这些内容往往是推理判断题的命题点.至于事实细节题的解答,同学们切忌想当然或者凭印象,一定要找到文章中的原句,和题干进行比较,再做出正确选择.
