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,F(xiàn)ullerton.
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 (茁壯成長(zhǎng)) 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.

25.What can be learned about Fernando Rojas from Paragraph 1?C
A.His schooling stopped in the eighth grade.
B.He often did some cleaning in the school.
C.His admission to famous universities was unexpected.
D.People were confident that he would be successful.

A.8.B.9.C.10.D.11.
27.What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 5mean?C
A.Rojas's parents knew Rojas loved them deeply.
B.Rojas was good at speech and debate competition.
C.The hard work of his parents inspired Rojas greatly.
D.Rojas's motivation was misunderstood by his parents.
28.What does the author want to tell?A
A.God blesses the hard-working.
B.Detail is the key to success.
C.All roads lead to Rome.
D.Every dog has its day.

分析 這真的是一個(gè)相當(dāng)勵(lì)志的故事.文章介紹了美國(guó)的一位給力學(xué)霸:八所常春藤高校都青睞.

解答 25-28 CDCA
25.C 考查判斷推理題.根據(jù)文章第一段的最后一句話he was accepted to every Ivy League school他竟然被8所常青藤大學(xué)全部錄取,由此推斷他被這些大學(xué)錄取是出乎意料的.可知選C.
26.D 考查細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)文章第三段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,F(xiàn)ullerton.可知他被11所大學(xué)錄。蔬xD.
27.C 考查句意理解題.根據(jù)該劃線句子His biggest motivation for speech and debate was his parents to know that their hard work meant something他最大的動(dòng)力就是想讓他的父母看到他們的辛苦付出是有回報(bào)的,以及該句前面的那句話…Rojas is a hardworking self-starter who thrives (茁壯成長(zhǎng)) on competition羅賈斯頑強(qiáng)堅(jiān)韌,主動(dòng)積極,在競(jìng)爭(zhēng)中快速成長(zhǎng).由此判斷選C.
28.A 考查判斷推理題.A.God blesses the hard-working天道酬勤;B.Detail is the key to success細(xì)節(jié)決定成。籆.All roads lead to Rome條條大路通羅馬;D.Every dog has its day人人都有得意日.通讀全文,并根據(jù)文章的第五段判斷應(yīng)該選A.

點(diǎn)評(píng) 這類(lèi)文章一般描述的是某一件具體事情的發(fā)生發(fā)展或結(jié)局,有人物、時(shí)間、地點(diǎn)和事件.命題往往從故事的情節(jié)、人物或事件的之間的關(guān)系、作者的態(tài)度及意圖、故事前因和后果的推測(cè)等方面著手,考查學(xué)生對(duì)細(xì)節(jié)的辨認(rèn)能力以及推理判斷能力.
故事類(lèi)閱讀應(yīng)試技巧:
1、抓住文章的6個(gè)要素:
閱讀時(shí)要學(xué)會(huì)從事情本身的發(fā)展去理解故事情節(jié)而不要只看事件在文中出現(xiàn)的先后順序.因此,無(wú)論是順敘還是倒敘,閱讀此類(lèi)文章時(shí),必須要找到它結(jié)構(gòu)中的5個(gè)W(when,where,who,why,what)和1個(gè)H(how),不過(guò)不是每篇都會(huì)完整地交待六個(gè)要素.毫無(wú)疑問(wèn),尋出這些元素是能夠正確快速解題的一個(gè)先決條件.
2、注意作者的議論和抒情:
高考英語(yǔ)閱讀理解故事類(lèi)文章常伴隨著作者思想情感的流露和表達(dá),因此議論和抒情往往夾雜其中.行文時(shí)或按事情發(fā)生發(fā)展的先后時(shí)間進(jìn)行或按事情發(fā)生發(fā)展的地點(diǎn)來(lái)轉(zhuǎn)換,也可能按事情發(fā)展的階段來(lái)布局.在引出話題,講完一件事情后,作者往往會(huì)表達(dá)個(gè)人感悟或提出建議等.這些體現(xiàn)作者觀點(diǎn)或思想的語(yǔ)句在閱讀時(shí)可以劃線,它們往往體現(xiàn)文章中心或者寫(xiě)作意圖,屬于必考點(diǎn),所以要仔細(xì)體會(huì).如:28.【小題4】A 考查判斷推理題.A.God blesses the hard-working天道酬勤;B.Detail is the key to success細(xì)節(jié)決定成敗;C.All roads lead to Rome條條大路通羅馬;D.Every dog has its day人人都有得意日.通讀全文,并根據(jù)文章的第五段判斷應(yīng)該選A.
3、結(jié)合前兩點(diǎn)歸納文章中心,把握作者態(tài)度:
故事類(lèi)文章是通過(guò)記敘一件事來(lái)表達(dá)中心思想的,它是文章的靈魂.歸納文章中心思想時(shí),尤其要分析文章的結(jié)尾,因?yàn)楹芏辔恼伦湔嘛@志,用簡(jiǎn)短的議論、抒情揭示文章中心;文章中議論抒情的句子往往與中心密切相關(guān);也有的文章需要在結(jié)合概括各段大意的基礎(chǔ)上歸納中心.另外,敘述一件事必有其目的,或闡明某一觀點(diǎn),或贊美某種品德,或抨擊某種陋習(xí),這就要求我們?cè)陂喿x時(shí),通過(guò)對(duì)細(xì)節(jié)(第1點(diǎn)中的六要素)的理解,把握作者的態(tài)度.
4、有章有據(jù)進(jìn)行解題判斷:
分析文章,歸納主題,屬于分析、概括、綜合的表述能力的考查.切忌脫離文章,架空分析,一定讓分析在文章中有依據(jù).如:25.【小題1】C考查判斷推理題.根據(jù)文章第一段的最后一句話he was accepted to every Ivy League school他竟然被8所常青藤大學(xué)全部錄取,由此推斷他被這些大學(xué)錄取是出乎意料的.可知選C.

9.We don't know how different our future will be in the future.We can only try to imagine it.
At first we think about human relationship.In the year 2050,we will use computers almost every day.We will be making new friends through the Internet----even our husbands or wives will be met in this way.It will be much faster and easier for us.On the other hand,our relationships with people won't be as important as they are today----we will feel a little lonely.
Computers will also help us in many other activities in 2050.For example,they will be used by the children at school to make their learning easier.In addition,there will be much more other machines which will play a similar role as computers,like robots which will do the housework for us.
Spending holidays will also be completely different.Traveling to other planets or to the moon will be available for everyone.Means of transport will,of course,change,too.We will be using solar-powered cars,which will be much more environmentally friendly.
We could expect that the faster technological progress would lead to a more pollution environment.But it isn't true.We will pay more attention to protecting the environment.And,scientists will probably find cures for many dangerous diseases,like cancer or AIDS.Therefore,our surroundings as well as our health will be in a better condition.
Although we can't predict the exact changes which will be made in the world,we often think about them.We worry about our and our children's future; we have expectations,hopes as well as fears.But I think we should be rather sanguine about our future.We should be happy and believe good things will happen.

21.Why will people probably feel a little lonely in 2050?B
A.Because the number of people will become much smaller.
B.Because there will be less face-to-face communication.
C.Because people won't like making friends with each other.
D.Because people won't communicate with each other much often.
22.According to the passage,which of the following will happen in 2050?C
A.The relationship between people will be more important than today.
B.The way of spending holidays will be the same as that of today.
C.It won't be difficult for people to travel to other planets.
D.Our environment will be much more polluted with a growning number of cars.
23.What does the passage mainly talk about?B
A.How people will communicate in the year 2050
B.What our life will be like in the year 2050
C.How people will travel and spend their holiday in the year 2050
D.What high technology will appear in the year 2050.

10.It was the first snow of winter-an exciting day for every child but not for most teachers.Up until now,I had been old enough to dress myself,but today would need some help.Miss Finlayson,my kindergarten teacher,had been through brst snow days many times,but I think she may still remember this one.
I managed to get into my wool snow trousers.But I struggled won my jacket because it didn't fit well.It was a hand-mc-down from my brother,and if made me wonder why I had to wear his ugly clothes,At least my hat and scarf were mine,and they were quite pretty.Finally it was time to have Miss Finlayson help me with my boots(靴子).

I handed her my boots and stuck out my foot.Like most children,I expected grown-ups to do all the work.After much pushing,she managed to get first one into place and then,with a sigh,worked the second one on too.
I announced,"They're on the wrong feet."
She struggled to get the boots off and went through the joyless task of putting them on again.
"They're my brother's boots,you know,"I said."I hate them".

I looked into her eyes and said,"I didn't want to lose them,so I hid them in the toes of my boots.
