人物故事类

【命题特点分析】

人物故事可以是普通人物的故事，讲述其普通人生不朽的精神，也可以是杰出人物的故事， 讲述其不平凡的经历和卓越的贡献。介绍杰出人物时特别着重介绍杰出人物如何克服自身身体残缺或自然环境和社会环境造成的各种困难，用强烈的事业心和责任感、汗水和泪水、鲜血和青春为人类做出巨大贡献，为生命谱写精彩乐章。当然这些杰出人物留给社会的不仅仅是促进和平发展或提高经济效益的物质财富，更重要的是，他们对事业的追求和对人民的热爱成为我们这个时代最重要的精神财富。无论是普通人物的故事还是杰出人物的故事都可以让读者获取精神营养，教会他们如何做人，如何成才 。

1. 普通人物不朽精神判断题

普通人物故事往往介绍父母对子女在各个角度做出的无私奉献，他们的故事虽各不相同，但对子女的爱是永远不变的。因此，普通人物故事易出现普通人物不朽精神判断题。试题往往以What can we learn from…？或What is the spiritstrength of…？ 或What is the best title of the passage？为设问方式，答案始终扣住Great love。

2. 人物生活时段/年龄判断题

这种试题常以What life part of the hero/heroine is mentioned in the text？为设问方式。人物故事常介绍人物一生学习、工作和生活的情况，因此试题常以The whole life of the hero/heroine.为答案。试题也可以转换形式，以How old is the hero/heroine now？ 或How old was the hero/heroine when he/she died？ 或How many years did he/she live？为设问方式。人物故事常常要从人物出生介绍到人物现状/死亡，因此推算人物年龄时应认真分析人物的起止年龄。

3. 人物生活质量判断题

杰出人物故事常出现人物生活质量判断题，这种试题常以What do we know about his/ her childhood？或How was his/her childhood？为设问方式。杰出人物之所以有超强毅力和惊人的吃苦精神多是因为他们从小身处逆境饱尝生活艰辛，唯有发奋努力，才能有所建树， 因此这种试题多以He/She lived a hard life.或He/She had an unhappy childhood.或He/Shedidnt live as happy as the other children.为答案。

4. 人物简历判断题

因人物故事常介绍人物一生经历，因此常出现人物简历判断题。试题常常从人物全部经历中挑选4～6个重要事件打乱其顺序，要求考生重新排序，并选择正确答案。解题时应当先阅读题干所列4～6个重要事件，力争对其有一定印象，然后回读原文，并以事件的发生、发展及高潮为线索将所列重要事件进行排序，这样试题就会迎刃而解。

5. 人物成功原因判断题

探究杰出人物成功秘诀、学习杰出人物成功经验是阅读其人物故事的现实意义之一，因此杰出人物故事常出现人物成功原因判断题。试题常以Why did the hero/heroine finally succeed？或What is the secret of the heros/heroines success？或What can we learn fromthe heros/heroines success？为设问方式。杰出人物的成功靠的是坚强的意志和强烈 的信心，因此试题常以He/She has strong perseverance.或He/She has strong self belief.或He/She doesnt bow before difficulties.或He/She never gives up/loses heart in the face of failure.或He/She never gives in to all kinds of hardships.为答案。

6. 人物困难判断题

杰出人物的成功常是历尽艰险的，因此故事常出现人物困难判断题。试题常以What was thebiggest difficulty that…faced？或…failed to continue his/her research work because.为设问方式，考生应认真阅读并分析原文对人物困难状况的描绘，并将其所遇困难进行排列，从而推出最大困难，以便准确答题。

7.人物地位判断题

杰出人物可能已经逝世多年，但人们不会忘记他们，而会公平评价他们的历史地位，因此故事往往出现人物地位判断题。试题常以From the passage， we can infer that.或According to the passage，…was.为设问方式。解题时应认真阅读并分析原文对人物重大贡献及社会影响作介绍的内容，从而准确解答试题。

8. 人物工作地点判断题

杰出人物为了事业的成功，常常需要更换工作地点，因此故事常出现人物工作地点判断题。这种试题常以Where did the hero/heroine work as…？或Where did the hero/heroine succeed？为设问方式。解题时应以人物简历为顺序追踪人物踪迹，并根据题干需要作出准确选择。

9. 人物晚年生活状况判断题

杰出人物往往到了晚年也没有真正退休，他们还在为人权、慈善事业和社会进步作贡献，因此故事常出现人物晚年生活状况判断题 。试题常以 …is said to have never actually retired[退休] because.或What did the hero/heroine do in his/her later life？为设问方式。认真阅读和分析对杰出人物晚年生活的介绍不难找到试题答案。
