阅读一 记叙文
记叙文六要素: 时间、地点、人物、事件、起因、经过、结果。读文章时特别关注以上要素。
1. 顺藤摸瓜。记叙文中有大量的事件发展过程中的细节,包括记叙文的5w (what, who, when, where, why)要素。
2、左顾右盼。在做题过程中,我们大都不能在文中找到与题干一字不差的词语或句子。这时我们需要认真研究问题,抓住题干中的关键词语,然后到文中准确地找到与之相关的语句,或是疑似语句的位置,接着去左顾,或右盼,在前句或后句寻找线索。
3、刨根问底。主旨大意题或推理判断、作者意图题等实际上是同一类型的问题。在解答此类题目的时候,不可被题干的表象所迷惑,要像剥洋葱一样,一层一层地剥;在四个可选项中,一个一个地去证实,去排除。有时还少不了借助自己的生活经验和常理来体会这言外之意。

2002, I wrote a letter for my future self with instructions not to open until my birthday in 2014. It is 2014 now. Yesterday was my birthday and I opened it. This is what I said:
Dear Sherri,
By the time you read this, you will be 30. At the age of 18, I had many dream about you. Right now I hope you have travelled and seen everything you have always wanted to, both in Canada and abroad, maybe you have even settled down somewhere in France, and maybe you are working in the field of art. I hope you are married to Gwynn----the man of your dreams. You’ll probably have two children---a girl and a boy.
If everything goes okay, you’ll be living in France in a big house in a small town with Gwynn and your two children. You are doing research in painting. Gwynn will be a computer programmer and you will be doing all right for yourselves. When I read this, I was surprised. So much of what I wanted has come true.
I did travel to a few more places in Canada. I’ve traveled to the UK, Australia and Egypt. I have been living in France for nearly 4 years in a big house, in a small suburb(郊区), in a major city. I am an art teacher in a university. I have two lovely kids.
But now everything went as I hoped. I married a man named Tom Rees, and he is an excellent artist. We are doing all right for ourselves. I find it cool how the dreams of a young girl can become a grown woman’s reality.

I had hidden the long black bag in the garage for the past two days. Tonight, in the dark, I would finally take it away. If everything went OK, it would be done by morning. But I had to be sure no one, not even my wife, saw me.
It was more difficult to get away from the party than I expected. I said that the children were tired and needed to get to bed. It was partly true. But the main reason for leaving was that I wanted to complete my plan.
First I had to get the kids to sleep. That was never easy at any time and tonight it was even more difficult. The eldest one wanted to know why we left the party early. I told him 10:30 pm was not early. As usual, I read them a bed story, but I had to stop myself reading too quickly or they would learn my secret.
Silence finally came, and feeling like a thief in the night, I went out of the house and into the garage. Taking one end, I dragged the bag out from its hiding place and took it into the garden. I was worried that my neighbor might see me and call the police.
It was already eleven o’clock. By the light of the moon I started working, trying to make a little noise as possible. And that was not easy with a saw(锯子)and a hammer.
After much effort, my work was finally completed. I looked down at my watch. It was exactly 4:00 am. Then I went inside to have a shower and get a few hours of sleep. It wouldn’t be long now before the kids would rush into my room and wake me up to tell me about the new tree-house Father Christmas had brought them this year.
