题文
阅读理解。 Treasure hunts (寻宝) have excited people's imagination for hundreds of years both in real life andin books such as Robert Louis Stevenson's Treasure Island. Kit Williams, a modern writer, had the idea
of combining the real excitement of a treasure hunt with clues (线索) found in a book when he wrote a
children's story, Masquerade, in 1979. The book was about a hare,and a month before it came out
Williams buried a gold hare in a park in Bedfordshire. The book contained a large number of clues to help
readers find the hare, but Williams put in a lot of "red herrings", or false clues, to mislead them.
Ken Roberts, the man who found the hare, had been looking for it for nearly two years. Although he
had been searching in the wrong area most of the time, he found it by logic (逻辑), not by luck.His
success came from the fact that he had gained an important clue at the start. He had realized that the
words: "One of Six to Eight" under the first picture in the book connected the hare in some way to
Katherine of Aragon, the first of Henry VIII's six wives. Even here, however,Williams had succeeded in
misleading him. Ken knew that Katherine of Aragon had died at Kimbolton in Cambridgeshire in 1536 and
thought that Williams had buried the hare there. He had been digging there for over a year before a new
idea occurred to him.He found out that Kit Williams had spent his childhood near Ampthill, in Befordshire,
and thought that he must have buried the hare in a place he knew well, but he still could not see the
connection with Katherine of Aragon,until one day he came across two stone crosses in Ampthill Park
and learnt that they had been built in her honor in 1773.
Even then his search had not come to an end. It was only after he had spent several nights digging
around the cross that he decided to write to Kit Williams to find out if he was wasting his time there.
Williams encouraged him continue, and on February 24 th 1982, he found the treasure. It was worth
￡3000 in the beginning, but the excitement it had caused since its burial made it much more valuable. 1. The underlined word "them"(paragraph1) refers to _____. A. red herrings
B. treasure hunts
C. Henry VIII's six wives
D. readers of Masquerade
2. What is the most important clue in the story to help Ken Roberts find the hare?

考点
据考高分专家说，试题“阅读理解。 Trea.....”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。
