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．

19．When you make a mistake，big or small，cherish it like it's the most precious thing in the world．Because in some ways，it is．
Most of us feel bad when we make mistakes，beat ourselves up about it，feel like failures，get mad at ourselves．
And that's only natural：most of us have been taught from a young age that mistakes are bad，that we should try to avoid mistakes．We've been scolded when we make mistakes-at home，school and work．Maybe not always，but probably enough times to make feeling bad about mistakes an unconscious reaction．
Yet without mistakes，we could not learn or grow．If you think about it that way，mistakes should be cherished and celebrated for being one of the most amazing things in the world：they make learning possible； they make growth and improvement possible．
By trial and error-trying things，making mistakes，and learning from those mistakes-we have figured out how to make electric light，to paint the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel，to fly．
Mistakes make walking possible for the smallest toddler，make speech possible，make works of genius possible．
Think about how we learn：we don't just consume information about something and instantly know it or know how to do it．You don't just read about painting，or writing，or computer programming，or baking，or playing the piano，and know how to do them right away．Instead，you get information about something，from reading or from another person or from observing，then you make mistakes and repeat，making mistakes，learning from those mistakes，until you've pretty much learned how to do something．That's how we learn as babies and toddlers，and how we learn as adults．Mistakes are how we learn to do something new-because if you succeed at something，it's probably something you already knew how to do．You haven't really grown much from that success-at most it's the last step on your journey，not the whole journey．Most of the journey was made up of mistakes，if it's a good journey．
So if you value learning，if you value growing and improving，then you should value mistakes．They are amazing things that make a world of brilliance possible．
56．Why do most of us feel bad about making mistakes？C
A．Because mistakes make us suffer a lot．
B．Because it's a natural part in our life．
C．Because we've been taught so from a young age．
D．Because mistakes have ruined many people's careers．
57．According to the passage，what is the right attitude to mistakes？C
A．We should try to avoid making mistakes．
B．We should owe great inventions mainly to mistakes．
C．We should treat mistakes as good chances to learn．
D．We should make feeling bad about mistakes an unconscious reaction．
58．The underlined word"toddler"in Paragraph 6probably meansA．
A．a small child learning to walk B．a kindergarten child learning to draw
C．a primary pupil learning to read D．a school teenager learning to write
59．We can learn from the passage thatB．
A．most of us can really grow from success
B．growing and improving are based on mistakes
C．we learn to make mistakes by trial and error
D．we read about something and know how to do it right away．

17．Christmas is a season of joy and cheer，but it may be unlucky for bird owners who don't keep an eye on their birds．Christmas is a time when birds would get injured more easily．To help make sure that your pet has a merry holiday this year，follow the tips below．
Be careful when you are decorating （装饰） your house．Keep your birds away from any lights or decorations，and above all，the Christmas tree．A bite to a wire or light bulb might cause burns，and the glass decorations might hurt the birds．
Keep your birds away from gift wrapping materials．The inks used to print them could often be harmful．Besides，ribbons （丝带） may get caught around your bird's neck，legs and toes．This can cause serious injuries or even death to them．
Don't share the holiday meal．Birds will feel encouraged when their owners share food with them，but many holiday dishes are bad for the birds'health．So you'd better prepare a separate meal for your birds．
You may let your birds drink some juice，but never wine．It can be deadly to birds．
Birds can get stressed easily if they are among sights，sounds，and people that they are not familiar with．Leave your birds in a quiet area of your home until the party is over．

18．For more than twenty years scientists have been seeking to understand the mystery of the"sixth sense"of direction．By trying out ideas and solving problems one by one，they are now getting closer to one answer．One funny idea from observing animals in nature is that animals   might have a built-in compass．
Many birds migrate（迁徙）twice a year between their summer homes and winter homes．Some of them fly for thousands of kilometers and mostly at night．Experiments have shown that some birds can recognize star patterns．But they can keep on course even under cloudy skies．How can they do that？A common bird that does not migrate but is great at finding its way home is the horning pigeon（鹤子）and they have been widely studied．One interesting experiment was to attach little magnets （磁铁，磁场）to the birds'heads to block their magnetic sense-just as a loud radio can keep you from hearing a call to dinner．On sunny days，that did not fool the pigeons．Evidently they can use the  sun to tell which way they are going．But on cloudy days，the pigeons with magnets could not find their way．It was as if the magnets had blocked their magnetic sense．Similar experiments with the same kind of results were done with honeybees．
In spite of the experiments，the idea of an animal compass seemed pretty extraordinary．How would animals get the magnetic stuff for a compass？An answer came from an unexpected source，A scientist was studying bacteria that lived in the mud of ponds．He found  accidentally little rod-like bacteria that all swam together in one direction 一 north．In fact，the bacteria had made themselves into little magnets that could line up with the earth's magnet．
The big news was that a living thing，even a simple bacterium，can make magnetite．That led to a search to see whether animals might have it．By using a special instrument，scientists were able to find magnetite in bees and birds，and even in fish．In each animal，except for the bee，the magnetic stuff was always in or close to the brain．
Thus，the idea of a built-in animal compass began to seem reasonable．

32．The main purpose of this passage is toD．
A．explain how the animal compass was invented
B．answer how an animal would get the magnetic stuff for a compass
C．introduce a famous experiment
D．prove the idea that animals might have a built-in compass
33．Which of the following can we infer from Paragraph 3？B
A．The bacteria magnetic sense seemed to be the same as the earth's．
B．The earth itself is a big magnet with which something magnetic might lines up
C．Little rod-like bacteria were found to swim north together through experiments．
D．Migrant birds can easily lose their way because of lacking magnetie．
34．The underlined words"keep on course"in the second paragraph means"A
A．stay in the correctflying route
B．lose one's way
C．remain calm
D．recognize star patterns
35．Where is probably the built-in magnet for a fish according to the scientists？D
A．Close to its stomach．
B．In its heart．
C．Far from its brain．
D．Inside its head．
