题文
阅读理解 It was a Sunday and the heavy storm had lasted all night. The morning after the storm, though, wasbeautiful: blue skies, warm air and a calm, inviting sea touching the shore gently.
My father realized it was a good day for fishing and invited my sister and me to go with him. I was
only 14 and fishing had never been my thing, but I decided to go all the same. I'm so glad I did.
On the road to the harbor we could see the terrible destruction on the coast, but the harbor itself was
in fairly good shape. After all, it was protected by the arms of a bay that had only one tiny channel to the
sea. As we got on board, we noticed two big humps(脊背) in the distance.
On approaching them, we saw it was a mother whale with her baby. We couldn't believe it-there
aren't any whales along the coast here. The storm must have driven them across the ocean in the bay, in
which the still water was so badly polluted that nothing could survive.
The little baby whale-actually as big as our boat-was obviously stuck and could not move. The mother dived under the water and came up suddenly, making big whirlpools(漩涡) and waves. "She's trying to
help her baby, but on the wrong side," my father said. At this point, my father moved our boat in a
semicircle to the other side and, heading the boat toward the baby whale, pushed it gently. With our
several gentle pushes the big hump turned over and disappeared under water. Then it swam up right
beside its mum. They struggled in their desperate attempts to escape but missed the exit and started
heading in the wrong direction. We hurried up to the whales and tried to lead them towards the bay
channel. Slowly, they let us lead them, sometimes rising from the water right beside us to breathe-and
to give us a trusting look with those huge eyes. once they hit their first part of clean water flowing straight
form the sea, the mum gave us a wave with her tail and off they swam into the distance.
In the excitement it had felt like only a few minutes, but we had been with those wonder animals for
almost an hour and a half. That was the simple and lasting beauty of the day. Nearly four decades later, I
still look back fondly to that golden day at sea. 1. The author says "I'm so glad I did." (in Para.2) because ________________.A. he witnessed the whole process of fishing

考点
据考高分专家说，试题“阅读理解 It was a S.....”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。
