My husband hasn’t stopped laughing about a funny thing that happened to me. It’s funny now but it wasn’t at the time.

Last Friday, after doing all the family shopping in town, I wanted a rest before catching the train, so I bought a newspaper and some chocolate and went into the station coffee shop—that was a cheap self-service place with long tables to sit at. I put my heavy bag down on the floor, put the newspaper and chocolate on the table to keep a place, and went to get a cup of coffee.

When I went back with the coffee, there was someone in the next seat. It was one of those wild-looking youngsters, with dark glasses and worn clothes, and hair colored bright red at the front. Not so unusual these days. What did surprise me was that he’d started to eat my chocolate!

Naturally, I was annoyed. However, to avoid trouble and really I was rather uneasy about him—I just looked down at the front page of the newspaper, tasted my coffee and took a bit of chocolate. The boy looked at me closely. Then he took a second piece of my chocolate. I could hardly believe it. Still I didn’t dare to start an argument. When he took a third piece, I felt more

angry than uneasy. I th ought, “Well, I shall have the last piece.” And I got it.

The boy gave me a strange look, then stood up. As he left he shouted out, “This woman’s crazy!” Everyone stared. That was embarrassing enough, but it was worse when I finished my coffee and got ready to leave. My face went red—as red as his hair—when I realized I’d made a mistake. It wasn’t my chocolate that he’d been taking. There was mine, unopened, just under my newspaper.

4. The woman telling the story ________.

A. always went shopping with her family on Fridays

B. had been very busy and needed some time to recover

C. wanted a newspaper and some chocolate to take home to her family

D. bought some chocolate so that she could keep a place at the table

5. When the woman saw the boy go on eating the chocolate, she felt ________.

A. too tired to start an argument

B. too shy to look in the boy’s direction

C. more and more disappointed at losing the chocolate

D. more and more angry with the boy

6. The woman’s face turned red ________.

A. because she realized that she had been quite wrong about the boy

B. because she realized that the boy was poor and angry

C. because she saw everyone staring at her

D. because she hated being shouted at

7. From the story we can see the woman ________.

A. was crazy

B. was being careless

C. was careless and selfish

D. often made mistakes

【答案】4. B 5. D 6. A 7. B

【解析】

本文是一篇故事。我丈夫没有停止对我发生的一件有趣的事笑。现在很有趣，但当时不是。我把别人的巧克力给吃了，还认为别人抢了我的东西。

【4题详解】

B 细节理解题。根据第二段第一句话Last Friday, after doing all the family shopping in town, I

wanted a rest before catching the train可得知，作者在城里购买了所有家用的物品后，需要先休息一下再赶火车。故选B。

【5题详解】

D 细节理解题。根据第四段Then he took a second piece of my chocolate. I could hardly believe it.和When he took a third piece, I felt more angry than uneasy.可知，作者越来越生气。故选D。【6题详解】

A 细节理解题。根据最后一段可知，作者自己犯了错误，其实那个人并没有吃她的巧克力。故选A。

【7题详解】

B 推理判断题。根据最后一段I realiz ed I’d made a mistake. It wasn’t my chocolate that he’d been taking. There was mine, unopened, just under my newspaper.可知，当作者喝完咖啡才意识到自己犯了错，她吃的不是自己的巧克力，她的还完好地盖在了报纸下面。说明她的粗心，故选B。

【名师点睛】

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。

C

When I was in college, a man named Henry worked as a custodian (看门人) in our student union building. White-haired, with a Pennsylvania Dutch accent, Henry could usually be seen in a baseball cap, a T-shirt and a pair of jeans.

He was the custodian, and he was the most respected and most well-known person in the building. Everyone loved Henry, and it was because of all the implicit ways he expressed his love for everyone around him. Henry didn’t have to say, “I love you.” He lived his love.

Henry was always excited when he met someone new, and he wanted to know everything about them. He felt it was important to do things for people he valued. And Henry seemed to value everyone he met. He brought in articles or cartoons for certain people, went out of his way to introduce people to each other, kept dozens of names and birthdays in his wallet so he could send cards, and helped students keep in touch with graduates who had written to him. He even assisted students who didn’t have enough money to buy their books.

Henry taught me --- and many others he supported --- how to live life to the fullest. Not by skydiving or exploring some foreign countries, but by appreciating where you are in life and valuing those around you.

The funny thing is that despite all he did and taught us, Henry truly believed that he was the lucky one --- that he was the one who was gaining so much by getting to know us. But all of us who remember Henry know that we were the ones who were truly blessed.

We will never forget the man who taught us that best way to say “I love you” often has li ttle to

do with the words.

8. What does the word “implicit” in Paragraph 2 most probably mean?

A. silent.

B. proper.

C. attractive.

D. unbelievable.

9. According to the passage, working as a custodian in a college, Henry .

A. made international travels to live a full life

B. was a role model of how to be a caring person

C. was busy organizing former students’ reunions

D. gathered plenty information about the needy students

10. Henry was always excited to meet new people because .

A. it would make people think highly of him

B. he was the most popular person in the college

C. it was part of his responsibility as a custodian

D. he treasured everything around him in his life

11. Which of the following word cannot be used to describe Henry?

A. Kind.

B. Adventurous.

C. Supportive.

D. Sympathetic

【答案】8. A 9. B 10. D 11. A

【解析】

【分析】这是一篇记叙文。主要介绍了当作者在大学时，在学生大楼担任看门人的一个名叫亨利的男人。

【详解】1.词句猜测题。根据第二段中“Everyone loved Henry”（每个人都爱亨利）及he expressed his love for everyone around him. Henry didn’t have to say,“I love you.” ”（他对身边的每个人都表达了爱，亨利不用说”我爱你”。）据此可知，亨利表达爱的方式是“沉默的”。选项A符合题意。故选A。

2.细节理解题。根据第四段“Henry taught me --- and many others he supported --- how to live life to the fullest. Not by skydiving or exploring some foreign countries, but by appreciating where you are in life and valuing those around you.”（亨利教会了我，还有很多他支持的人，如何充实地生活。不是通过跳伞或探索国外，而是通过感激你在生活中所处的位置，珍惜你周围的人。）可知，作为一所大学的看门人，亨利是一个告诉我们如何变得有爱心的榜样。故选B。

3.细节理解题。根据第三段中“He felt it was important to do things for people he valued. And Henry seemed to valu e everyone he met. ”（他觉得为他重视的人做事很重要，而亨利似乎很重视他遇到的每一个人。）可知，亨利总是很高兴结识新朋友，因为他一生珍惜周围的一切。故选D。

4.推理判断题。根据第三段中“He felt it was important to do things for people he valued. And Henry seemed to value everyone he met. He brought in articles or cartoons for certain people, went out of his way to introduce people to each other, kept dozens of names and birthdays in his wallet so he could send cards, and helped students keep in touch with graduates who had written to him. He even assisted students who didn’t ha ve enough money to buy their books.”（他觉得为他重视的人做事很重要。亨利似乎很看重他遇到的每一个人。他为某些人带来文章或漫画，特意介绍彼此认识，在钱包里放了几十个名字和生日，这样他就可以寄贺卡，帮助学生与写信给他的毕业生保持联系。他甚至帮助那些没钱买书的学生。）可知，亨利是一个善良的人。故选A。

D

Nao, a small robot, looks like a person. If Nao begged you not to shut it off, what would you do?

Scientists did a study to see how people treat robots that act like people. Eighty-nine people volunteered for the study. They were asked to help to improve Nao’s social skills by finishing two tasks with it.

The tasks with the robot didn’t matt er, though. What the scientists really wanted to see was how the participants reacted once the tasks were over. They were asked to talk with Nao and finally shut Nao off but it was not easy to do. Some people did not want to turn the robot off while others took a long time to do it.

People often communicate with non-human objects such as TVs and computers nowadays. But robots seem more like humans. Robots can show social characters themselves, like speaking with human voices or taking the shape of a human b ody. Scientists said people might have seen Nao’s cries as a sign of independent thought. In turn, this could have led people to see the robot as having the human-like character.

For thousands of years, humans lived in a world where they were the only ones who could have conversations. Our brains learned to react to social situations in a certain way. But our brains are not

used to telling the difference between real people and fake people. The robot expressed feelings and desires and that got people to want to treat the robot as if it were alive.

12. Why did scientists use Nao in the study?

A. To communicate with humans.

B. To improve people’s social skills.

C. To help people finish their daily tasks.

D. To learn about how people react to robots.

13. What did participants do when asked to turn off Nao?

A. All of them refused to turn it off.

B. All of them found it hard to operate it.

C. Not all of them took action immediately.

D. All of them followed the order soon.

14. Compared with TVs, robots .

A. often depend on humans

B. are more similar to humans

C. have independent thought

D. know well about different voices

15. What is the main idea of the passage?

A. How people treat human-like robots.

B. Robots will replace humans.

C. The relationship between humans and robots.

D. Compare robots with TVs and computers.

【答案】12. D 13. C 14. B 15. A

【解析】

Calling for help

Once your child reaches the age of four, he should know all about calling 911 in the event of an emergency. ___17___ For example, he should call 911 if an adult asks him to, if an adult passes out and cannot be woken, if there is a fire and he can't find an adult, or if people are hurt.

Cuts and scrapes(擦伤）

Teach children about basic care for cuts and scrapes. In my house, the kids all know that cuts must be cleaned and know where the bandages are. They also know how to put pressure on a cut to

make it stop bleeding. Asking an adult for help is necessary. ___19___ Believe it or not, I had to

help a teenage neighbor once who had no idea what to do when he cut his hand on broken glass. He

just ran around in a circle.

【解析】

本文是一篇说明文。主要讲述的是父母该如何教孩子一些急救措施。【16题详解】考查过渡句。根据上文“Every child should know some basic first aid skills. This is true whether your child is four or fourteen.”每个孩子都应该知道一些基本的急救技巧。无论你的孩子是4

岁还是14岁，这都是正确的。及下文介绍小标题“Calling for help”（求助）;“Cuts and

scrapes”割伤与擦伤以及“Burns”烧伤。可知你应该教你的孩子一些有用的东西。故选F。

【17题详解】

考查细节句。根据上文“Once your child reaches the age of four, he should know all about calling

911 in the event of an emergency. ”一旦你的孩子到了四岁，他应该知道在紧急情况下如何拨

打911。以及下句“For example, he should call 911 if an adult asks him to, if an adult passes out

and cannot be woken, if there is a fire and he can't find an adult, or if people are hurt.”例如，如

果有成年人叫他打911，如果一个成年人昏倒了不能被叫醒，如果发生火灾他找不到一个成

年人，或者如果有人受伤了，他应该打911。可知应该给孩子解释一下什么是真正的紧急情

况。故选D。

【18题详解】

考查细节句。根据上文“As I am typing this, I just realized that although my kids are taught about 911, the telephones in the house are out of reach for all but my oldest child （to prevent the other two from playing with the phone）”在我打字的时候，我才意识到，虽然我的孩子们都学过911，但家里的电话是除了我最大的孩子以外谁都够不着的(为了防止另外两个孩子玩电话)。可知这是一个错误。故C项（你自己不要犯这样的错误。）符合题意。故选C。

【19题详解】

考查过渡句。根据上句“Asking an adult for help is necessary.”向成年人寻求帮助是必要的。以及下句“Believe it or not, I had to help a teenage neighbor once who had no idea what to do when he cut his hand on broken glass. He just ran around in a circle.”信不信由你，我曾经帮助过一个十几岁的邻居，当他的手被碎玻璃划伤时，他不知道该怎么办。他只是绕着圈子跑。可知此外，他们应该知道一些自我护理。故选E。

【20题详解】

考查过渡句。根据上句“Tell your child that if he ever gets a burn, he should immediately call for help”告诉你的孩子，如果他烧伤了，他应该立即寻求帮助；以及下句“Getting a burn cooled down quickly can reduce the damage to the skin.”迅速冷却烧伤部位可以减少对皮肤的伤害。可知让烧伤部位冷却也很重要。故选G。
