3.A four-year-old boy has become a pen pal of Britain's Queen Elizabeth.Tom Stancombe started exchanging letters with the queen after he set free a balloon,carrying his name and address,at a school party and it landed to the ground of Windsor Castle.
The queen noticed the balloon and asked her perscnla assistant,Angela Kelly,to write a letter on behalf of her.
She wrote,"The queen was delighted to find that your balloon had traveled all the way to the garden at Windsor Castle."
Tom,who proudly put the letter on his wall,wrote back to say that his great,great grandfather,the artist Petrus Johannes Arundzen,had been commissioned(正式委托)to copy Dutch masters'works on display at Windsor Castle and Buckingham Palace.
Angela atonce replied that she would contact the Royal Collection to find out what had happened to the art works.She kept her word and two weeks later wrote to Tom to tell him what had happened to the etchings,explaining they now form part of the print collection in the print library.
Angela then asked a favor of Tom.writing,"Would you be able to ask your Mummy and Daddy for me if they know anything more about your great,great grandfather?Royal Collection would love to know more about him."
Along with his parents,Tom wrote back to fill in all the gaps about Petrus Johannes Arundzen.
Since Tom's parents don't think there will be any more letters exchanged between the pair,they were touched that the queen had taken time to contact them.
Tom's father said,"I don't expect we'll get another one,but I think  it's incredible they bothered replying at all"

点评 人物故事类阅读理解文章是高考英语常考材料之一.这类文章一般可分为人物传记和短篇故事两类.这两类阅读材料一般较长,即词数多,而且命题也较多,特别是推理判断题和事实细节题多.在做此类阅读理解题时往往是材料看得懂,题目不好做的感觉.因此,在阅读材料时要重点放在事情发展的过程和结果上,注意把握事件的发展进程及人物之间的关系,细节与主题的关系,用以说明人物性格特点的事实、作者的态度等,这些内容往往是推理判断题的命题点.至于事实细节题的解答,同学们切忌想当然或者凭印象,一定要找到文章中的原句,和题干进行比较,再做出正确选择.
