题文

On May 12, 2008, an earthquake of 8 magnitude struck Sichuan. Everyone in China was shocked, and
quickly became heartbroken as reported deaths climbed from 10,000 to 32,000 to more than 62,000 people.
The death toll is still rising, and the number of injured and missing is many times more.
The Chinese people faced this disaster with compassion (同情) and courage. I was touched by the teacher
who died forming a bridge with his body between two desks, protecting four surviving students under him,
by the trapped child who told the rescue workers to save others first, and by the dying mother who texted her
baby, "My Treasure: If you survive, always remember I love you." She died using her own body to protect
her 3-month-old from harm. But don't worry about this baby growing up without a family. Thousands of
families in China have already volunteered to adopt earthquake orphans. And the Chinese people faced this
 disaster with resourcefulness (智慧) and tenacity (坚韧). A brave CEO took his weekend SUV, drove
hundreds of miles, started digging, and saved several lives. A child used his hands to dig out two fellow
students. His hands were severely injured, but his friends survived. Cab drivers turned their cars into
ambulances and delivery trucks. More than 100,000 brave soldiers risked (and some gave) their lives to find
every survivor.
These are the heroes among us, whether they use an SUV, a shovel or a phone. Their heroic deeds and
selflessness inspired me so deeply that I can recall only one other such occasion. It was 9/11-I vividly
remember the police officers, the firefighters, and of course the passengers and crew on United Flight 93.
As a Chinese American, I hope that the Chinese and the Americans will see that they have so much in
common-their compassion, courage, and generosity. I hope that people will see that these heroic commonalities
are much stronger than any differences. And I hope that these heroes from 9/11 and 5/12 will inspire all of us
to turn our anxiety into courage, our misery into tenacity, and our sorrow into love.

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。
