阅读理解。 Waiting for Dr. Dirkson
(A play)
THE SCENE: A classroom in a high school.
(场景) Summer is over. This is the first day of school. The students arrive one by one or in small
groups. Everyone stops to read the sign on the door. It says:
PHYSICS 1, DR.F. DIRKSON.
THE CHARACTERS: Five students (Linda, Ben, Rudy, Tony, Molly) and Dr. Dirkson.
(人物)
Linda: Dirkson? Dirkson? I don't know that name. Who is he?
Rudy: Don't ask me. He must be a new teacher. I don't remember him teaching in this school last year.
Do you, Ben?
Ben: No, but here comes Tony. If anyone can tell you about Dr. What's-His-Name, Tony can. He knows
everything.
Tony: (laughs.) I don't know everything. I only know almost everything. What is your question, please?
Molly: What do you know about this new teacher?
Tony: I don't really know much about Dr. Dirkson. I do hear things, though. I hear lots of things.
Rudy: What do you hear? Is he a good teacher? I'm hoping to go to college. This class is important to me.
Tony: I have a friend who goes to Central High School. I'm almost sure that's where Dr. Dirkson comes
from. If it's the same teacher, he is rough. Believe me, he is rough and tough.
Linda: What do you mean 'rough and tough'? I plan to go to college, too. I have to do well in this class.
Tony: What I hear is that Dirkson's exams are very hard. He usually fails about half the class. All the girls.
Linda: (angry) That can't be true. You're making it up, Tony.
Molly: He's just talking like that to make us angry, Linda. Tony, What does Dr. Dirkson look like? Is he
married?
Tony: I don't think so. But don't get excited, Molly. He isn't going to interest you. He's about seventy-seven
years old and he uses a walking stick.
Molly: (she is angry) Tony, why do you say that this teacher fails all the girls? Do you think physics is too
hard for girls? Do you think we can't do it?
Tony: All I'm saying, Molly, is that girls don't make it in Dr. Dirkson's class. Physics is very difficult. It's
not like art or music or history. It's a science. How many famous women scientists are there? Hardly
any. You can count them on the fingers of one hand.
Ben: That's not fair(公平), Tony. There are many women who are doctors and engineers and scientists. And
there are more of them all the time.
Rudy: That's right, Tony. I agree with Ben. Girls can do anything we can do.
Tony: I don't care what anybody says. I'm telling you the truth, Molly. I'm not saying that girls are not
intelligent (有智力的). They just don't have the right kind of intelligence to understand physics.
Dr. Dirskson must know that. Take my advice (忠告) and get out of his class before he walks in.
(A very pretty young woman hurries into the classroom.)
Dr. Dirkson: Good morning. I'm sorry I'm late. I am Dr. Dirkson.
(The whole class starts to laugh. Everyone laughs hard. Everyone except Tony.)

考点
据考高分专家说，试题“阅读理解。 Wait.....”主要考查你对 [故事类阅读 ]考点的理解。
故事类阅读
故事类阅读：
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。
阅读这类材料时，同学们一定要根据主要情节掌握文章主旨大意，同时抓住每一个细节，设身处地根据文章内容揣摩作者的态度和意图，根据情节展开想象，即使是碰到深层理解题也可迎刃而解。
故事类阅读注意：
初中生接触到的阅读材料大都是故事类。
阅读故事类的材料，应该抓住人物线索、地点线索、时间线索和情节发展线索。
特别注意的是，以上线索往往是并存的。因为情节的发展总是涉及到人物的变化、时间的推移、场景的变换等。
而阅读材料后的阅读理解往往会围绕这些内容设计一些事实类的理解题。
凡事实类的理解题都可以从阅读材料的表层文字中找到答案。
在阅读故事类短文时，应理解文章的深层含义，也就是它的主题。在此需要注意的是，现在的阅读理解题在测试事实类的理解题的同时，往往有一道推理类理解测试题．
