题文
阅读理解。 High school was wonderful, but I had always felt uncomfortable as one of the taller members of my class,standing a head above the other girls and stooping (弯腰) at the back of the line to avoid sticking out.
I especially hated being around large groups of people like during the social hour after the church services.
My grandfather would watch me grow increasingly uncomfortable, but he didn't laugh at me or try to
comfort me. Instead, he would warn me. "Stand straight and tall," he'd say, as I tried to shrink (退缩).
And each time, I would obey him. Even at age 15, I understood that his advice was about more than just
feet and inches.
My grandfather grew up in war-torn Europe. When German soldiers took his hometown, the beautiful and
exciting city of Tarnow, Poland, he joined the Soviet army for his country's freedom. "Stand straight, stand
tall," meant something else back then. I trusted my grandfather more than anyone else in my childhood. And
whenever I was afraid of something, he would tell me stories of his life.
After the war, he took a boat for America on January 27,1947. All alone in a new country, he was
frightened about his future.
Still, he marched head-on in the streets of New York. Soon he met other European immigrants, each of
them trying to find his or her own way.
If they could do it, why couldn't he? "Stand straight, stand tall," he would told himself.
At first my grandfather retused to enter an American church. He was angry with God for the loss of his
whole family back in Europe. But soon he felt his self-confidence returning. When he walked into the church
that first time, he walked in proudly. 1. Which can best serve as the title for the text? A. Stand straight, stand tall

考点
据考高分专家说，试题“阅读理解。 High.....”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。
