记叙文阅读方法与解题技巧 　　记叙文通常以时间为顺序,用直观、形象的语言描述人物故事或事情经过。2009年广东英语高考所考查的三篇阅读理解文章中,两篇均是以时间为顺序的记叙文,应引起考生对记叙文阅读的足够重视。 　　 　　一、阅读方法 　　 　　考生在阅读记叙文时,应注意以下两点: 　　1. 理清事情发展的脉络――起因、经过、结果,以及作者叙述故事的目的。考场中的阅读文章可能是节选于文学名著,不一定是开门见山地叙述事情始末,这时,考生应该在通读全文后,重新理清故事发展的整体思路。 　　2. 理解人物关系和人物之间的对话。为了使表达简练、生动和行文流畅,记叙文多使用代词替代前文出现的人物或事情,对话中通常也没有明确列出说话人的名字。考生需要根据事情发展,通过逻辑、因果关系判断指代关系和对话所属。 　　 　　二、解题技巧 　　 　　1. 对原因、目的、地点、人物行为等的提问。建议考生在阅读文章前阅读题干及选项并划出because, in order to以及人物名字等关键词,然后在文章中搜索对应词语,迅速找到关键句。 　　2. 对推断词义或句义、人物性格、隐含细节等题目,可根据上下文、人物语言、文章所使用的形容词等作为推理依据。 　　3. 对于考查作者写作目的(purpose)、主要内容(main idea)、提炼标题(best title)、作者态度(attitude)等题目,考生可通过文体和作者态度排除部分选项。若作者态度中立(objective /neutral),写作目的、标题等都不应体现个人主观观点,一般不能出现表明褒贬的词语,如praise, think highly /ill of, punish, scold等。 　　4. 有时也会对写作手法进行考查,如使用了什么写作顺序、修辞手法等。中文和英文的写作手法大致相同,考生可结合语文常识进行解答。例如,引用名人的话语或者例子,是为了使文章更生动、更有说服力;对景物的描写,是为了烘托人物的心情。 　　 　　三、实例分析 　　 　　阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中,选出最佳选项。 　　[1]Passing through the Atlanta airport one morning, I caught one of those trains that take travelers from the main terminal to their boarding gates. The trains run back and forth all day long. Not many people consider them fun, but on this Saturday I heard laughter. 　　[2] At the front of the first car - looking out the window at the track that lay ahead - were a man and his son. 　　[3]We had just stopped to let off passengers, and the doors were closing again. “Here we go! Hold on to me tight!” the father said. The boy, about five years old, made sounds of delight. 　　[4]Most people on the train were white, dressed for business trips or vacations and the father and son were black, dressed in clothes that were just about as inexpensive as you can buy. 　　[5]“Look out there!” the father said to his son. “See that pilot. I bet he’s walking to his plane.” Eagerly, the son craned his neck to look. 　　[6]As I got off, I remembered something I’d wanted to buy in the terminal. I was early for my flight, so I decided to go back. 　　[7]I did, and just as I was about to get on the tr
