题文

 As a boy growing up on a farm near the Caribbean coast of Colombia(哥伦比亚), Alvaro
Cogollo loved both plants and vallenato, the traditional music of the region.As a biology student
in the 1970s, Cogollo traveled around the country to document its rich botanical heritage and,
informally, studied the music that tells an important story of Colombia.
"We were colonized by the Spanish; later, Africans were brought as slaves to exploit gold
mines; and the native peoples were already here," he says."That is what authentic vallenato
represents with its three instruments: the accordion(手风琴), from a European origin; la caja drum,
which is of African origin; and la guacharaca, a beating instrument made from a palm tree, which is
from native American origin."
Over the course of his nearly four-decade career, Cogollo has discovered more than 150 new
species of plants, 17 of which bear his name.Although Cogollo never earned a PhD, his colleagues
say he's made invaluable contributions to knowledge of Colombia's plant at a time when deforestation
(砍伐森林) is a big threat to the country' s biodiversity.Governments have focused on trying to move
 the country out of poverty and conflict through exploiting its natural resources, not through scientific
resource development.But Cogollo sees things a different way.By educating the public about alternative
uses for the land, and researching plants' potential uses-including as medicines, foods, and bio-fuels-
Golombia could improve its economy and quality of life without neglecting conservation, Cogollo says.
Cogollo's other major achievement has been the transformation of a neglected botanical garden in a
Medellm neighborhood into a well-known center for research, environmental education, and community
gatherings.What had been a club for wealthy orchid enthusiasts now offers free admission and attracts
rich and poor alike.The success of the botanical garden has in turn contributed to the transformation
of Medellm.once seriously damaged, by violent wars between armed groups, the city has had some
improvements that include better public safety, tougher pollution controls and the creation of green
spaces.
What Cogollo has focused his latest efforts on is teaching Colombians from all social classes and
backgrounds about the importance of biodiversity and conservation through a shared musical heritage.
"The fact that Alvaro's been able to give talks to audiences filled with all kinds of people is very
important, and that's what happened in Medellm the first time he talked about vallenato music,"
Dr.Forcro says."People sitting there had no idea of environmental conservation, and then they did."

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。
