题文
阅读理解。 Brian arrived at the San Francisco airport two hours before the flight to Paris. He was wearing three shirts,a jacket, two pairs of socks, a pair of shorts, and two pairs of jeans. He was carrying one small backpack,
which was very full, but he didn't have any other luggage. Brian needed to meet a man named Tony before he
checked in for his flight. He found Tony near the Air France counter. Tony gave him a round-trip ticket and
a small package.
"Give this package to Jean-Paul at the airport in Paris. He will have a sign with your name on it. I think you
can find him easily," Tony said. "You don't have any luggage, right?"
"only this backpack," Brian answered. "You said I could bring one carry-on bag."
"That's right, one carry-on bag is fine. Have a good trip."
"Thanks."
Is Brian a criminal (犯罪)? Not at all. He is an air courier. And he paid only $110 for the round-trip ticket to
Paris. Air couriers get cheap airline tickets because they take important packages and papers to foreign countries.
Businesses sometimes need to get packages and papers to people in foreign countries by the next day. Often,
the only way they can do this is to use an air-courier company. It is not cheap for a business to send a package
with an air courier, but it is quick.
Every year about 80, 000 people worldwide travel as air couriers. The number of tickets for courier travel
is growing by about 10 percent a year. However, air-courier travel isn't for everyone. But if you have very little
money, can be flexible (灵活的) about your travel plans, and don't mind wearing the same clothes for a week,
it can be a great way to take a vacation! 1. Why was Brian wearing so many clothes for his travel? A. Because they were the uniform for air couriers.
B. Because that made him easier to be recognized.
C. Because his backpack had no room for his clothes.
D. because he did not have any luggage with him. 2. An air courier is a person who _____. A. manages a business company in foreign countries

考点
据考高分专家说，试题“阅读理解。 Bria.....”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。
