题目内容
6.I am a music store owner.One day,when I was cleaning the instruments in my store,I saw an old man come in.His short steps dragged on the carpet."Is 77too old to learn the banjo (班卓琴)?"he asked."You can learn to play it well,"I replied,holding back my doubts (怀疑).My mind told me I was giving false encouragement.I reached the teacher's schedule and gave the rates,the available time and the additional information that he would need.To my surprise and delight,the old man,Carl,began banjo lessons three days later with my most patient teacher.
With nothing to do at home but practice,Carl made surprising progress.After breakfast he practiced for his required half hour.While waiting for lunch he picked up his banjo again for just a couple of minutes.Since TV was difficult for him to see and hear,he often played the banjo in the evenings.Carl was always early for lessons so it was a surprise that he didn't arrive one Tuesday.
The next morning I listened to the answering machine with sadness."Carl's in hospital,"the voice recorded.
Two months later,I shared the newspaper obituary with the banjo teacher.We both shed tears for a surprisingly clever banjo student.
Several months later,a woman came into the store carrying a plant."This is for Carl's banjo teacher,"she said."I'm his wife,Mary."
"Why did Carl want to play the banjo?"I asked.Mary took a deep breath and let it out slowly."Carl was at some show when he was 10years old.He came close to the stage to watch the performers (表演者).When they were packing up their instruments,the banjo player said to Carl,‘You want to see this up close?'Carl climbed up on the stage and from then on he wanted to play the banjo."Carl had waited 67years to realize a dream!Mary gave the plant to Carl's banjo teacher."Thank you for the best six months of his life,"she said.

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.
