题文
阅读理解。 The King of Rock and Roll, Elvis Aron Presley was born on 8 January 1935 in Tupelo. His talent insinging did not come up as a surprise, as he had a good voice right from his childhood. When Elvis was
ten years old, he participated in a Talent Contest at Mississippi-Alabama Fair and Dairy Show and won
a prize for the song he sang.
When Elvis was 13 years old, his family moved to Tennessee. To support himself and his father, Elvis
took on a job as a truck driver. A disc containing two ballads (民歌) that Elvis had recorded for his
mother as a birthday gift was first heard by Sun Studio's president Sam Phillips. After listening to Elvis,
Sam made Elvis an offer and that was the birth of a new singing sensation (鼓动的人物); a new
superstar was born. In 1954 his first record was released from Sun Studio.
In 1955, Elvis singed a $35,000 recording contract with RCA Victor (through Thomas Parker), who
promised to help in projecting Elvis Presley (a Local Star) as a National Level Star. As promised, Elvis
was shown in newspapers, television appearances, photographs where he was claimed to be the next
superstar of the music world.
In 1956, his first performance with "Heartbreak Hotel" on The Milton Berle Show successfully put
Elvis on the top list of the superstars and the nationwide "Elvis Craze" was started. Elvis became the
prince who ruled hearts of his millions of fans.
In 1960, he quit performing in concerts and concentrated in making movies. As his first movie Love
Me Tender was a big hit, he had no problem in marking his comeback in movies.
After making several very successful and hit movies, Elvis returned to the world of music. In 1968, Elvis
once again started working with his old band and gave some more smashing (极好的) hits to the world.
In 1972, he released his last top-ten single Burning Love.
It's nearly impossible to measure the level of popularity he had reached in his career. Elvis Presley
had more than 100 records on the billboard charts and out of which, about 18 records were on number
one position on the charts. During his lifetime, he worked in about 31 movies; all of them were huge

考点
据考高分专家说，试题“阅读理解。 The .....”主要考查你对 [日常生活类阅读 ]考点的理解。日常生活类阅读
日常生活类阅读的概念：
日常生活这一话题主要涉及人们衣食住行等方面的活动。这一话题的选材主要针对人们日常的工作，生活以及学习情况。做这一类题时，最主要的是要把握好人物的活动内容，时间和地点。
日常生活类阅读题答题技巧：
【题型说明】
该类文章内容涉及到人们的言谈举止、生活习惯、饮食起居、服饰仪表、恋爱婚姻、消遣娱乐、节日起源、家庭生活等。文章篇幅短小，追根溯源，探索各项风俗的历史渊源，内容有趣。命题也以送分题为主，如事实细节题、语义转换题、词义猜测题和简单推理判断题等。虽然这类文章读起来感觉轻松，试题做起来比较顺手，但绝不能掉以轻心。因为稍不留神，就会丢分。
【备考提醒】
为了保证较高准确率，建议同学们做好以下几点：
1、保持正常的考试心态。笔者在教学中发现，越是容易的试题，同学们越是容易失分。为什么呢？因为在这种情况下，同学们极易产生麻痹思想，认为题目好做，就不引起高度重视，于是思维不发散、不周密。而命题人就是利用同学们的这一弱点，设计陷阱题。所以，无论试题难易与否，我们都要保持正常的考试心态。试题容易，不欣喜；试题难，不悲观。
2、根据前面讲到的方法，认认真真、细细心心做好事实细节题。
3、做好语义转换题。这类题是根据英语中一词多义和某些词语在文中能表达一定的修辞意义的原则而设计的。要求同学们解释某生词的含义，确定多义词或短语在文中的意思，确认文中的某个代词所指代的对象，或者对英语中特有的表达、格言、谚语进行解释。这种题要求同学们一定要根据上下文猜测词义或理解句子，切不可望文生义。
4、做好简单推理判断题。简单推理判断题要以表面文字为前提，以具体事实为依据进行推理，做出判断。这种推理方式比较直接，只要弄清事实，即可结合常识推断出合理的结论。
