题文

Everyone gathered around and Paddy read out loud, slowly, his tone growing sadder and sadder. The little
headline said: BOXER RECEIVES LIFE SENTENCE.
Frank Cleary, aged 26, professional boxer, was today found guilty o f the murder of Albert Cumming,
aged 32, laborer, last July. The jury (陪审团) reached its decision after only ten minutes, recommending the
most severe punishment the court could give out. It was, said the judge, a simple case. Cumming and Cleary
had quarreled violently at the Harbour Hotel on July 23rd and police saw Cleary kicking at the head of the
unconscious Cumming. When arrested Cleary was drunk but clear thinking...
Cleary was sentenced to life imprisonment with hard labour. Asked i f he had anything to say, Cleary
answered, "Just don't tell my mother."
"It happened over three years ago," Paddy said helplessly. No one answered him or moved, for no one
knew what to do. "Just don't tell my mother," said Fee numbly. "And no one did! Oh, God! My poor, poor
Frank!"
Paddy wiped the tears from his face and said. "Fee dear, pack your things. We'll go to see him."
She half-rose before sinking back, her eyes in her small white face stared as if dead. "I can't go," she said
without a hint of pain, yet making everyone feel that the pain was there "It would kill him to see me. I know
him so well-his pride, his ambition. Let him bear the shame alone, "it's what he wants. We've got to help him
keep his secret. What good will it do him to see us?"
Paddy was still weeping, but not for Frank; for the life which had gone from Fee's face, for the dying in
her eyes. Frank had always brought bitterness and misfortune, always stood between Fee and himself. He was
the cause of her withdrawal from his heart and the hearts of his children. Every time it looked as if there might
be happiness for Fee, Frank took it away. But Paddy's love for her was as deep and impossible to wipe out as
hers was for Frank.
So he said, "Well, Fee, we won't go. But we must make sure he is taken care of. How about if I write to
Father Jones and ask him to look out for Frank?"
The eyes didn't liven, but a faint pink stole into her cheeks. "Yes, Paddy, do that only make sure he knows
not to tell Frank we found out. Perhaps it would ease Frank to think for certain that we don't know."

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。
