阅读理解文体技法(7)人物传记类.阅读理解文体技法演练【精要提示】近年来人物传记类文章在高考阅读中占的比例有减少，但仍是高考常考的文体之一，读这类文章时应注意：(1)把握文体特征，注意写作手法如前文所述，人物传记是记叙文体的一种，因此在阅读时要把握好时间、地点、人物和事件这四大要素。其次，还应该注意人物传记类文章的结构多按时间顺序排列，一般采用倒叙的写作手法，有时也采用插叙和补叙等手段。弄清楚人物传记类文章的特征和写作手法，能帮助考生在阅读和回答问题时做到高效省时、准确无误。(2)抓住题干关键词，采用寻读的方法查找细节描述。(3)抽丝剥茧，推理判断深层含义。推理判断题主要提问那些未曾在文中说明，但已特别暗示的内容，考查考生对文章的准确理解和判断。【高考经典练】(2014广东卷)samuel

only twins who are also astronauts，have volunteered themselves for study creating a unique opportunity to figure out the health effects of space from those of genetics.last year，scott kelly was chosen to take part in the first oneyear mission aboard the iss，double the usual stay，along with russian cosmonaut mikhail kornienko.then last week nasa announced that his brother mark would be monitored on earth throughout.researchers will have access to blood and saliva(唾液) samples from both twins taken before，during and after scotts trip to the iss，along with assessments of their vision，sleep patterns and cardiovascular(心血管的) activity.nasa will also measure both twins bone mass before and after the mission.such data could help determine how genetics affects the health problems seen in space，including loss of bone and muscle mass and decline of vision，all caused by low gravity，plus an increased risk of cancer from space radiation and sleep problems while in space.“ideally one would never have flown in space，but thats not the case，” says charles.“the only twins we have access to are both astronauts.”once scott has finished his yearlong journey，he will have spent much more time in space than mark，who retired in 2011.comparing the effects of short versus long space trips could be interesting，perhaps revealing whether bone mass loss worsens with each trip.some may also delight in the fact that the kelly study will be the strongest test yet of the twin paradox(孪生子佯谬) put forward by albert einstein.it states that a twin on a roundtrip journey aboard a fastmoving spacecraft will return to earth younger than the one who stayed home，thanks to relativity.the iss orbits earth at 7.71 kilometres per second，so scott will age roughly 10 milliseconds less than mark over the year.“i dont think our equipment is sensitive enough to pick up that difference，” says charles.1which of the following is not true of mark and scott kelly?athey have the same parents.bboth of them are american astronauts.cboth of them are of the same age.dboth of them will stay in the iss for one year.2at present，astronauts usually stay in the iss for as long as about _aone week bone monthcsix months done year3we can infer that _aneither of the twins has traveled in spacebboth of the twins have traveled in spacecscott kelly looks younger than mark kellydscott kelly looks older than mark kelly4what is the passage mainly about?aastronaut twins could reveal health effects of space.bamerican astronaut twins will get together in outer space.cmark and scott kelly are the only twin astronauts america.devidence shows how genes affect peoples health space.b(2015苏州模拟)larry was on another of his underwater expeditions (探险) but this time，it was different.he decided to take his

log cabin to the white house.tony trivisonno did not rise as high as the white house，yet he managed to make his own dream come true.he came from a farm in italy.one evening i found him standing behind my garage.“i mow (割草) your lawn，” he said.it was hard to comprehend his broken english.i asked him his name.“tony trivisonno，” he replied.“i mow your lawn.” i told tony that i couldnt afford a gardener.“i mow your lawn，” he said again，then walked away.yes，these depression days were difficult，but how could i refuse a person who had come to me for help?when i got home from work the next

some kind of small weekly pay，and each day tony cleaned up the yard and took care of any little tasks.my wife said he was very helpful whenever there were anything heavy to lift or things to fix.summer passed into fall，and winds blew cold.“mr.craw，snow pretty soon，” tony told me one evening.“when winter comes，you give me job clearing snow at the factory.”well，how do you deal with such

school that trained workers.but i doubted whether tony were able to read blueprints or do precision work.still，how could i turn him down?tony took a cut in pay to become an apprentice.months later，i got a report that he had graduated as a skilled grinder (磨工)my wife and i were delighted with what tony had achieved.a year or two passed，and again i found tony in his usual waiting place.“mr.craw，”

replied.“here is a hardworking man，a man of character，i can promise you that.hes got a good job.and he will pay your interest.”unwillingly，the banker loaned tony $2，000 and helped him buy the house.tony was delighted.from then on，it was interesting to see that any abandoned odds and ends around our place were gathered and taken home by tony.after about two years，i found tony in our familiar meeting spot.he seemed to stand a little straighter and looked confident.“mr.craw，i sell the house and buy a farm.”we sat down and talked.he told me that he had persuaded his childhood friend to move to america.with a satisfied look in his eye，he told me that when they came to his little farm，his friend stood in amazement and said，“tony，you are a millionaire！”then，during the world war ，news came from my company that tony had passed away.when my people came to visit his family，they found the farm green with vegetables，the little house comfortable and homey.the children were educated and working，and tony didnt owe a cent.tony，as well as all the greatest american businessmen，had reached their success in the same way and by the same values: vision，determination，optimism，selfrespect
