题文
阅读理解 A few years ago my sister moved from her home in Alabama to Buffalo, New York. Since moving toBuffalo she's become a big hockey fan and has encouraged me to start watching it. Unfortunately it's very difficult to find hockey on television here in Alabama. Since hockey games don't air very much on television I've had to look for different ways to watch hockey games.
I often see websites that claim if you go to their website you can watch television on your computer. I
try out many of these websites hoping that one of the television stations is a northern station that airs
hockey games. Unfortunately, most of them don't work. Either the site doesn't really give you what they
advertise or their video player doesn't work properly. But finally I've found one websites that actually
works.
Free Tube is a site that you can go to and watch Television online for free. You don't have to
download any kind special software or pay money or even sign up for anything. All you have to do is go
to Free Tube, choose your channel and start watching.
The different channels to choose from are separated into different categories like news, business,
entertainment, music and sports. You're not going to find channels like NBC or ABC so you can watch
the latest episode of Heroes or Grey's Anatomy but it does include some popular channels like Cartoon Network and ESPN.
There is also a movie section. Each move channel airs different sorts of films like adventure, classics,
comedy or horror and that channel will always air that kind of movies. The movie section also includes
my favorite station called Maxx Trailers (预告片). Maxx Trailers airs nothing but movies trailers 24
hours a day. Some of the trailers are for movies coming out and some are for movies that have already
been released but already released movies don't go back farther than a couple of months.
So far I haven't had any problems with Free Tube's video player either. Whenever I choose a channel
the video almost always works and usually loads every quickly. The only problem I have with Free Tube
is that there is currently a glitch if you're using Firefox. once you choose a channel you can't select
another channel to change to, your web browser will freeze up. So if you're using Firefox the only way to
switch channels is to leave the site and re-enter the site, when choose what channel you want to go to.
However, Free Tube is aware of this glitch and is working with Mozilla to get it fixed right away.
If you're missing some show everyone is talking about like Grey's Anatomy or Heroes this isn't really
a solution for that. But Free Tube is a good way to find channels that you weren't aware of; there are
several good stations to be found.

考点
据考高分专家说，试题“阅读理解 A few year.....”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。
