　　【考点分类突破】

　　记叙文

　　【体裁诠释】

　　记叙文分为记事和记人两种形式。主要包括事件叙述、故事、幽默、名人传记等。

　　1. 记叙方式多样。通常为了叙述方便，作者会按时间先后顺序或空间顺序等方式来安排情节和内容。这类文章条理清楚，层次分明。读者也较容易理解和接受。但有时为了突出某个情节或为了增加阅读趣味，或为了其他目的，作者可能会采用插叙，甚至倒叙的写作手法。

　　在阅读时，先浏览全文，判断出文章的叙述方式，以便抓住文章的主线，理清文章的脉络。然后依据文章信息，了解文章内容的来龙去脉，进而达到对文意的透彻理解，这样才能做出合理的选择。

　　2. 记叙文往往有较强的故事趣味性，有情节的跌宕起伏和情感的细腻变化等特点，信息量很大。作者在叙述过程中往往会融入人物的语言、行为、心理的描写，这在一定程度上增加了考生理解文章的难度。这时，必须理清上下文的脉络，对人物的语言、行为、心理等给出合理的想像和推理，并仔细揣摩作者的用意，从而透彻理解文意，达到对语境的准确理解，进而做出合理的选择。

　　3. 命题倾向于注重短文本身的教育意义或选取记叙具有特殊个性品质的人物故事，给人以启迪或鼓舞；作者有时在记叙过程中或记叙结束后发表自己的看法和感受。因此只有借助上下文乃至全文的语境才能揣摩作者的心境，及其对各个角色、各个事件的态度。在答题过程中，除了要把握关联词语，还要把握语气、动作等的描写，以期与作者达到共鸣。

　　〖文章大意〗本篇为叙事故事，记述了作者七岁时参加演出过程中的一段经历，虽然作者在表演时出现了失误，但他还是坚持面带笑容将表演完成。多年之后，作者反思自己当时的表现，他认识到当时能坚持下来，自己就是一个明星，当与朋友、家人谈到那次不成功的表演时也能释然。

　　〖解析〗选A。通读全文可知，作者描述了自己七岁时的一次舞蹈表演的经历，有表演自然就有观众，因此本句意为：家人们挤满了演出大厅，大厅里充满了激动的气氛，表示“充满、挤满”用filled。

　　〖解析〗选D。根据作者后面的描述可知，本句句意应为“我只有七岁，但是我是人们注意的中心”，所以要使用attention。

　　〖解析〗选B。本题所在的句子意为：最后，在经过了几周的准备之后，我要在舞蹈表演中展示我所做出的努力。show off展示；炫耀，卖弄，与语境相符； take over继承，接办；接管； look after照顾，照看；give up放弃，投降。

　　〖解析〗选D。根据后面的描述可知，尽管作者的这次演出失败了，但作者一开始认为“一切将会很完美--- 我是这样认为的。” perfect完美的，符合逻辑。 reasonable合乎情理的；suitable合适的，适宜的；obvious明显的。

　　〖解析〗选A。本句描述了自己演出时的穿戴，所以句意应为“我等在后台，穿着黑色的紧身衣，扎着金色的腰带。dress up 意为“化装，打扮，与参加演出这一语境相符。fold up 折叠起来；cover up 掩盖，盖住；mix up混淆；拌和；调和。

　　〖解析〗选C。本句句意应为“典礼的主持人清晰地大声宣布下面表演的是我们班。” announced意为“宣布”，符合句子语境。

　　〖解析〗选B。演出自然少不了观众，演员们要面对观众表演，所以本句意为：我们的舞蹈班成员在一个两英尺见方的箱子上做固定的动作，面向观众。

　　〖解析〗选A。由后文可知，作者太注重保持脸上的笑容以及高昂着头部，所以对这么简单的动作没有很在意。

　　〖解析〗选D。作者在本句中描述了自己表演出现失误前的状况，句意为：我脸上带着微笑，高昂着头，注意力如此集中以至于我没有看到我移动的位置。keep保持某种状态，所以D项正确。contain包含; hide躲藏；share分享。

　　〖解析〗选C。 见上句解析。

　　〖解析〗选B。从下文There I was standing on the stage floor when my classmates were on top of their boxes可知，作者在表演时出现了失误，故本句意为：我没踩上同伴的箱子，滑倒了，故用slip符合语境。

　　〖解析〗选A。自己的表演出现了失误，肯定非常尴尬，故本题句意为：我能够听到观众席上传来的咯咯笑声，我感到我的脸涨得通红。blood符合语境。the blood rushed to my face/cheek指由于羞愧或愤怒而血冲上了某人的面庞，脸涨的通红。

　　〖解析〗选D。根据后面的描述，作者最终克服了自己的心里障碍完成了表演，所以本句句意应为“我记起了我的舞蹈老师曾经告诉我们的话‘如果你出现了失误，要继续微笑下去，这样观众就不会注意到了’”。所以D项符合句意。

　　〖解析〗选C。根据后文的叙述可知，作者坚持完成了任务，所以本句句意应为“我尽力听从了她的建议，继续完成我的动作。” 故C项正确。

　　〖解析〗选B。根据上文描述可知， 作者本来是想要表现一下的，结果却出现了失误，所以自己的希望落空了，因此本句句意应为“当幕布落下，我的希望也落空了。”故B项符合语境。

　　〖解析〗选D。由后文的tasting the salt from the tears可知作者哭了起来，所以本句句意应为“我哭了起来”，故D项正确。

　　〖解析〗选B。在当时的情境下，自己为表演的失败而流泪，自然没有人能一下子使她情绪稳定下来，所以应该用calm down表示“使……平静“。

　　〖解析〗选A。事情过去这么多年后，作者回过头来重新审视自己当时的表现，能够坚持下来，而不是跑回到后台，这件事本身就是自己让人感到了不起的地方，因此本句意为：近来我认识到那天晚上我就是一个明星。”所以A项符合语境。

　　〖解析〗选C。根据前面的叙述可知作者当时的失误使得自己非常尴尬，所以本句意为：我当时很尴尬，但是我克制住了自己冲出舞台的冲动。所以C项符合句意。

　　55〖解析〗选B。分析上下文可知，此处表示转折意义，所以本句句意应为“相反地，我脸上带着微笑完成了动作。（2011·福建省福州市八县（市）高三联考）

　　3、（2010·江苏省南京市三模）

　　My parents passed away ten years ago and I miss them terribly. But I know they are with me every day in what they taught me and in the

　　36

　　they gave me. Every morning my father’s message to me was: Remember that

　　37

　　you walk out of this door, you carry responsibility, the good name of this family, the hopes and dreams of your mom and dad. My mother often urged me to

　　38

　　the high standards she set for me.

　　When I was in high school, I played in a rock band with friends in my class. We were devoted and practiced constantly. We moved past the guys – in – a – garage stage and

　　39

　　to be pretty good, doing getting – paid gigs (演奏会) most weekends, which made me

　　40

　　. At that time, though part of me was

　　41

　　up in that band, another part of me was the oldest son in the Clark family,

　　42

　　of my origin and a dedicated student busy applying to colleges. Without even telling my parents, I applied to Harvard. I didn’t think I had much chance of getting in,

　　43

　　I wanted to try. So I was riding around being Mr Cool Rock Musician half of the time, and the other half I was focused on family and

　　44

　　goals. I was running on parallel

　　45

　　.

　　When the group won a city wide Battle of the Bands, things heated up. My band mates had stars in their eyes – we might be able to make it big. However, I began to feel

　　46

　　. I realized I was on quite different tracks: I

　　47

　　was becoming two people,

　　48

　　identities back and forth depending on who I was with. I had to make an option. As I considered my

　　49

　　, my parents’ words were right there, helping me to see that my dreams weren’t about signing a record deal, letting my hair grow, and living in a tour bus. So I

　　50

　　out. My bandmasters were

　　51

　　. They thought I was crazy to withdraw

　　52

　　the peak of real success. But however successful that band got, I knew it wasn’t in line with my

　　53

　　, with my feeling of what I was

　　54

　　to do, with who I was – it simply wasn’t me.

　　In that instant and in many others throughout my life, my parent’s advice has helped me recenter and

　　55

　　. I could remember who I was – the hopes and dreams I carried.

　　, and it was my soul-searching song.

　　I played the song to the best of my ability,

　　you for the beautiful song that you played.

　　I have been very sick,

　　and it’s very hard for me to

　　but your music made me feel good .

　　”she said.

　　With that,

　　she turned around and walked

　　18
