题文
Jack sits in the coffee bar that looks at Jaffa Street listening to the sad, sad music playing on an oldtape recorder. "Oum Khalsoum", says one of the other men sitting in the coffee bar to nobody in
particular. "This is Oum Khalsoum singing".
Jack takes another sip of sweet mint(薄荷) tea and nods in agreement without saying anything. His uncle
lives in Egypt, and every time he visits him, he tells him the story of how he saw the well-known singer at
one of her concerts in Cairo in 1970, not long before she died. The song seems to go on forever, and it's
very sad. He thinks it's beautiful, but he doesn't want to hear it now. It's too sad for him. It makes him
think of his uncle in Egypt who he hasn't seen for many years now, and also about the reason why his
uncle lives in Egypt while his aunt lived in Lebanon and why he, on the other hand, lives in Jordan, and
why he is in Jerusalem now.
His father died a few months ago. After that, he found that there were so many things that he had
wanted to ask his father, but had never asked . He realized that he knew very little about his own family,
and decided to try and find out more about the place where his father had grown up, and where his
grandparents (who had died when he was very young) were from.
He has now spent a couple of days wandering around Jerusalem with an old, torn photograph in his
hand. The photograph shows the whole family, his grandparents standing proudly at the centre of a
group of four children in front of a house on a busy street. Next to the house there seems to be a garden
with what look like olive (橄榄色) trees in it.
Jack, though, can't find anywhere in this modern Jerusalem that looks much like the street or the
house where the photograph was taken. He feels sadder than the sad song playing in the cafe, thinking
now that he might never find the place where his father had been born and the place where his
grandparents had lived until they moved away in 1947.1. According to the passage, the sad music make Jack think of _____.A. His uncle
B. His father

考点
据考高分专家说，试题“ Jack sits in .....”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。
