题目内容
1.It would have been a success story if Fullerton High School senior Fernando Rojas,the son of Mexican immigrants whose schooling stopped in the eighth grade,was accepted to college.But the 17-year-o1d achieved a surprising clean sweep-he was accepted to every Ivy League school."I didn't think I could get into any,"Rojas told The range County Register on Saturday."When I got all eight,it was a blessing and a curse because I had to choose.I was excited and scared and everything at the same time."
The first call came from Yale University in February.Within weeks calls,emails and letters followed from Dartmouth College,Brown University,the University of Pennsylvania,Cornell University,Columbia University,Harvard University and Princeton University.Rojas also was accepted by Stanford University and two nearby schools,the University of California,Irvine,and California State University,Fullerton.
He is one of four children of Raul Rojas and Mafia,who moved to Fullerton from Jalisco,Mexico in the early 1980s.
A national speech and debate champion,Rojas reasoned that if he applied to the eight Ivy League schools,he might get into one.Sal Tinajero,Rojas'speech and debate coach at Fullerton,told the newspaper that Rojas is a hardworking self-starter who thrives (茁壮成长) on competition."His biggest motivation for speech and debate was his parents to know that their hard work meant something,"Tinajero said.
After visiting several campuses,he settled on Yale,which costs﹩64,000a year with room and board.He is responsible for﹩6,000; Yale scholarships and federal grant money cover the rest.
He'll mostly take it easy during the summer before heading to Yale in late August.He's considering majoring in Latin American studies and perhaps a career as a lawyer or in international affairs.

点评 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.如:28.【小题4】A 考查判断推理题.A.God blesses the hard-working天道酬勤;B.Detail is the key to success细节决定成败;C.All roads lead to Rome条条大路通罗马;D.Every dog has its day人人都有得意日.通读全文,并根据文章的第五段判断应该选A.
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.如:25.【小题1】C考查判断推理题.根据文章第一段的最后一句话he was accepted to every Ivy League school他竟然被8所常青藤大学全部录取,由此推断他被这些大学录取是出乎意料的.可知选C.
