题文
阅读理解 A soldier named John Blanchard struck up(建立)a pen pal friendship with a woman, Sally Maynell,who he had never met in the months before World War II. When the fighting began, their correspondence still continued.
Over the next year or so the two got to know each other through their letters. Even so, when Blanchard asked for a photograph, the woman refused. She felt that if he really cared, it wouldn't matter what she
looked like.
When the day finally came for him to return from Europe, they scheduled their first meeting - 7:00 pm at Grand Central Station in New York. "You'll recognise me," she wrote, "by the red rose I'll be wearing on my suit."
At the station a beautiful young woman approached him. She was wearing a green suit and was
everything that he hoped Miss Maynell would be. But there was no red rose. There was another woman.
She was well past 40 and had her hair tucked(塞)under a worn hat. She was more than plump, her fat feet thrust(挤)into shoes. Her pale face was gentle and her gray eyes had a warm twinkle(闪光). On her coat,
there was a red rose.
He did not hesitate. His fingers gripped the small worn copy of the book that was to identify him to her. "This will not be love, but it will be something precious, something perhaps even better than love, a feeling
for which I have been and must ever be grateful." he thought.
" I'm John Blanchard, and you must be Miss Maynell. I am so glad you could meet me. May I take you to dinner?" he asked.
The woman's face broadened into a smile. "I don't know what this is about, son." she answered, "But
the young lady in the green suit who just went by begged me to wear this rose on my coat. And she said if you were to ask me out to dinner, I should go and tell you that she is waiting for you in the big restaurant across the street. She said it was a kind of test!"1. According to the first three paragraphs, which of the following statements is TRUE?A. Miss Maynell didn't think herself beautiful enough.
B. Miss Maynell didn't turn up at the meeting place.
C. Mr. Blanchard lost contact with the woman during the war.
D. Mr. Blanchard and the woman kept in touch by writing to each other.
2. When Mr. Blanchard saw the middle-aged woman, he probably felt a little __________.

考点
据考高分专家说，试题“阅读理解 A soldier .....”主要考查你对 [故事类阅读 ]考点的理解。故事类阅读
故事类阅读概念：
这类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。
故事类阅读应试技巧：
1、抓住文章的6个要素：
阅读时要学会从事情本身的发展去理解故事情节而不要只看事件在文中出现的先后顺序。因此，无论是顺叙还是倒叙，阅读此类文章时，必须要找到它结构中的5个W（when, where, who, why, what）和1个H（how），不过不是每篇都会完整地交待六个要素。毫无疑问，寻出这些元素是能够正确快速解题的一个先决条件。
2、注意作者的议论和抒情：
高考英语阅读理解故事类文章常伴随着作者思想情感的流露和表达，因此议论和抒情往往夹杂其中。行文时或按事情发生发展的先后时间进行或按事情发生发展的地点来转换，也可能按事情发展的阶段来布局。在引出话题，讲完一件事情后，作者往往会表达个人感悟或提出建议等。这些体现作者观点或思想的语句在阅读时可以划线，它们往往体现文章中心或者写作意图，属于必考点，所以要仔细体会。
3、结合前两点归纳文章中心，把握作者态度：
故事类文章是通过记叙一件事来表达中心思想的，它是文章的灵魂。归纳文章中心思想时，尤其要分析文章的结尾，因为很多文章卒章显志，用简短的议论、抒情揭示文章中心；文章中议论抒情的句子往往与中心密切相关；也有的文章需要在结合概括各段大意的基础上归纳中心。另外，叙述一件事必有其目的，或阐明某一观点，或赞美某种品德，或抨击某种陋习，这就要求我们在阅读时，通过对细节（第1点中的六要素）的理解，把握作者的态度。
4、有章有据进行解题判断：
分析文章，归纳主题，属于分析、概括、综合的表述能力的考查。切忌脱离文章，架空分析，一定让分析在文章中有依据。
