大学联考英语记述文的阅读
记叙文讲述的是发生在当前或过去或将来事情的经过。简而言之，记叙文就是讲故事，包括人物或故事情节。常见的记叙文根据其用途可分为文学记叙文和说明记叙文：文学记叙文以虚构为主，如趣闻逸事、传说、寓言、传奇故事、短篇小说、科幻小说等；说明记叙文以事实为依据，包括历史、传记、新闻报道、日记等。无论哪一种记叙文作者都要交代何人何时
何地为什么、怎么样、干了何事等等，这也就是我们常说的5Ws and 1H。
1、以一般过去时为主，其他时态为辅。合理使用丰富多彩的谓语动词时态，而这种复杂的时态特征在汉语记叙文中是根本没有的。正是有了动词时态的变化，才使英语文章中所叙述的.动作有了层次感和立体感。
2、广泛使用动词，特别是动态动词。由于这些动词的存在，文章就会充满“动感”，而这种让往事历历在目的“动感”正是优秀的记叙文所要追求的。
3、适当运用直接引语。直接引语的使用可以代替间接的主观叙述，简洁、生动地表达出事件发展的过程和各种人物的心理活动，充分展示人物的独特个性和人物之间的相互关系。 命题顺序
一般都会按照文章的脉络和故事发展的顺序层层推进。
主旨大意、作者意图
记叙文都是在最后一两句话抒发作者的情绪与感悟，可谓“一篇之妙，在于落句”。 阅读策略—文体吃透
1.读标题，预测文章主题；
2.读全文，抓住文章的6个要素，把握事件和情感发展两条线；
3．读题划定位词，快速跳读定位，放慢速度细研究；
4.读第一段或最后一段找文章中心（积极向上）；

Homework :
2014年 B篇
In the mid-1950s, I was a somewhat bored early-adolescent male student who believed that One day, this approach threw me into embarrassment
In Mrs. Totten’s eighth-grade math class at Central Avenue School in Anderson, Indiana, we were learning to add and subtract decimals (小数).
Our teacher typically assigned daily homework, which would be recited in class the following day. On most days, our grades were based on our oral answer to homework questions.
Mrs. Totten usually walked up and down the rows of desks requesting answers from student after student in the order the questions had appeared on our homework sheets. She would start either at the front or the back of the classroom and work toward the other end.
Since I was seated near the middle of about 35 students, it was easy to figure out which questions I might have to answer. This particular time, I had completed my usual two or three problems according to my calculations.
What I failed to expect was that several students were absent, which threw off my estimate. As Mrs. Totten made her way from the beginning of the class, I desperately tried to determine which math problem I would get. I tried to work it out before she got to me, but I had brain freeze and couldn’t function.
When Mrs. Totten reached my desk, she asked what answer I’d got for problem No. 14. “I…I didn’t get anything,” I answered, and my face felt warm.
“Correct,” she said.
It turned out that the correct answer was zero.
What did I learn that day? First, always do all your homework. Second, in real life it isn’t always what you say but how you say it that matters. Third, I would never make it as a mathematician.
If I could choose one school day that taught me the most, it would be that one.
61. What does the underlined part in Paragraph 1 indicate?
A. It is wise to value one’s time. B. It is important to make an effort
C. It is right to stick to one’s belief. D. It is enough to do the necessary.

A. recite their homework together B. grade their homework themselves
C. answer their homework questions orally D. check the answers to their
homework questions
63. The author could work out which questions to answer since the teacher always _______.
A. asked questions in a regular wayB. walked up and down when asking questions

64. The author failed to get the questions he had expected because _______.
A. the class didn’t begin as usual B. several students didn’t come to school
C. he didn’t try hard to make his estimate D. Mrs. Totten didn’t start from the back of the class
