题目内容
19.John H.Johnson was born in a black family in Arkansas city in 1918.His father died in an accident when John was six.He was reaching the high school age,but his hometown offered no high school for blacks.Fortunately he had a strong-willed (意志坚强的) caring mother.John remembered that his mother told him many times,"Son,you can be anything you want really to be if you just believe."She told him not to depend on others,including his mother."You have to earn success,"she said."All the people who work hard don't succeed,but the only people who do succeed are those who work hard."
These words came from a woman with less than a third grade education.She also knew that believing and hard work don't mean everything.So she worked hard as a cook for two years to save enough to take her son,who was then 15,to Chicago.
Chicago in 1933was not the promised land that black southerners were looking for.John's mother and stepfather could not find work.But here John could go to school,and here he learned the power of words-as an editor of the newspaper and yearbook at Du Sable High School.His wish was to publish a magazine for blacks.
While others discouraged him,John's mother offered him more words to live by."Nothing beats a failure but a try."She also let him pawn(典当)her furniture to get the﹩500 he needed to start the Negro magazine.It is natural that difficulties and failures followed John closely until he became very successful.He always keeps his mother's words in mind."Son,failure is not in your vocabulary!"

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.
