如何做高考英语幽默故事类阅读题【题型说明】幽默故事类阅读文章是高考常选材料之一。这类文章是对社会生活、人的外貌及性格特征、言行举止等某些可笑的特征进行喜剧性描述的特殊文体。其特点是对事情本身的描述符合人们的一般思维习惯，而文章的最后则出其不意的点出其违背常理或不合逻辑的地方。该类文章语言流畅、有趣，命题往往从故事的有关细节、文章的幽默之所在着手，以便考查同学们的思维能力和判断能力。对于这类文章，同学们也有文章好读，但题目不好做的感觉。【题型特点】从形式上看，幽默故事都比较简短，它所描述的往往是一个片断的情景，一些有关前因后果的说明常常被省去（命题者往往会对这些被省去的情节命题，要求考生根据故事的发展和结局进行推测）。从内容上看，幽默故事往往来自于日常生活，使人感到这故事好像想得到，但随着故事的发展、矛盾的展开，尤其是意外结尾的到来，这时读者才会感到幽默之所在。另外值得一说的是：幽默故事还往往包含一些含蓄、风趣的小对话，这些对话被称为幽默故事的灵魂，所以同学们在阅读时还要注意分清在这些对话中，哪些是作铺垫的，哪些是照应前面的，而哪些才是体现“幽默”的。当你读完一篇幽默故事之后，你若还看不出其幽默之所在，我们建议你再去仔细体会一下文章中的对话，而尤其是最后的几句对话，再联系你的生活常识，幽默往往在此。至于命题，幽默故事的命题往往是推理性的，所以同学们做这类题时，一定要根据故事情节的展开、发展、结局（尤其要注意其幽默点）进行合理的推断，选出最佳答案。【答题方法】在解答这类短文的理解题时，我们要注意以下几个方面：1．重末尾。由于中西方人思维方式的差异，加之同学们生活经验和阅历等方面的欠缺，往往不能品味出幽默故事类文章之幽默所在。这就要求同学们在阅读时，要仔细揣摩事情发生的背景、作者的意图，特别是要重点把握文章最后几句画龙点睛的话，分析它们与上下文的对应关系，看透作品所开的善意玩笑，即幽默点，才能真正深层理解文章幽默之所在，只有这样才能做出正确选择。2．重细节。这类文章的命题除了推理判断题外，还有事实细节题和主旨大意题。要做好事实细节题，必须重视文中细节。做好事实细节题不仅有利于加深对文章的理解，把握文章幽默之所在，而且还有利于解答主旨大意题和推理判断题。所以，对于这类文章中出现的直接引语句子要引起高度重视。3．重复读。对于这类文章中的主旨大意题，即幽默之所在，不能做出正确概括的话，同学们一定要再读。再读时，速度可以适当快一点，可采取略读、跳读的方式阅读，只从文中抓住有用信息。这样有助于对文章的深层理解。4．重积累。在平时的阅读训练中，多注意阅读有关文化意识(如英语国家文化背景知识、文化修养、跨文化交际等)、国际视野和民族意识等方面的材料，减少因中西方文化差异而带来的不便。[1][2]下一页 说明:引用此文请注明出处,并请保留该文章链接地址,谢谢~~【实例分析】阅读下面的文章，然后做后面的阅读理解题：Frank Smithson woke up and leaned over to turn off the alarm clock.
