3.A four-year-old boy has become a pen pal of Britain's Queen Elizabeth.Tom Stancombe started exchanging letters with the queen after he set free a balloon,carrying his name and address,at a school party and it landed to the ground of Windsor Castle.
The queen noticed the balloon and asked her perscnla assistant,Angela Kelly,to write a letter on behalf of her.
She wrote,"The queen was delighted to find that your balloon had traveled all the way to the garden at Windsor Castle."
Tom,who proudly put the letter on his wall,wrote back to say that his great,great grandfather,the artist Petrus Johannes Arundzen,had been commissioned(正式委托)to copy Dutch masters'works on display at Windsor Castle and Buckingham Palace.
Angela atonce replied that she would contact the Royal Collection to find out what had happened to the art works.She kept her word and two weeks later wrote to Tom to tell him what had happened to the etchings,explaining they now form part of the print collection in the print library.
Angela then asked a favor of Tom.writing,"Would you be able to ask your Mummy and Daddy for me if they know anything more about your great,great grandfather?Royal Collection would love to know more about him."
Along with his parents,Tom wrote back to fill in all the gaps about Petrus Johannes Arundzen.
Since Tom's parents don't think there will be any more letters exchanged between the pair,they were touched that the queen had taken time to contact them.
Tom's father said,"I don't expect we'll get another one,but I think  it's incredible they bothered replying at all"

點(diǎn)評(píng) 人物故事類閱讀理解文章是高考英語(yǔ)?疾牧现唬@類文章一般可分為人物傳記和短篇故事兩類.這兩類閱讀材料一般較長(zhǎng),即詞數(shù)多,而且命題也較多,特別是推理判斷題和事實(shí)細(xì)節(jié)題多.在做此類閱讀理解題時(shí)往往是材料看得懂,題目不好做的感覺(jué).因此,在閱讀材料時(shí)要重點(diǎn)放在事情發(fā)展的過(guò)程和結(jié)果上,注意把握事件的發(fā)展進(jìn)程及人物之間的關(guān)系,細(xì)節(jié)與主題的關(guān)系,用以說(shuō)明人物性格特點(diǎn)的事實(shí)、作者的態(tài)度等,這些內(nèi)容往往是推理判斷題的命題點(diǎn).至于事實(shí)細(xì)節(jié)題的解答,同學(xué)們切忌想當(dāng)然或者憑印象,一定要找到文章中的原句,和題干進(jìn)行比較,再做出正確選擇.
