Three explorers, an Englishman, an American and an Australian were lost in the jungle.        They had left home for six months before to explore the jungle and got lost.        They had no food left, and they were weak and ill.        They knew that if they did not find a village soon, they would die.        Then, during the night, they were visited by a jungle spirit.        "I'm the spirit of the jungle," it said. "I feel sorry for you. You may have three wishes. "        "Does that mean three wishes each, or three wishes among us?" the American explorer asked.        "I will give each of you one wish," the spirit of the jungle said.        The English explorer, who was very polite, said to the American and Australian explorers," Please,   you wish first. "        The Australian explorer, who was almost as polite as the English explorer said, "Please, you wish the   first."        "Very well," the Englishman said," I don't have to think for a minute. I know exactly what to wish for.   I wish to be back home with my wife and family. "        Immediately he disappeared.        "That's wonderful," the Australian explorer said, "My wish is similar. I'd like to be back in Australia."        And immediately he disappeared.        The American was left alone.        "And what is your wish?" the spirit of the jungle asked him.        "Those two explorers were nice men," the American explorer said, "We became close friends. To tell   you the truth, I am feeling rather lonely here without them. I wish they were back here again."

据专家权威分析，试题“阅读理解。 Three explorers, an Englishman, an American and a..”主要考查你对  故事类阅读  等考点的理解。关于这些考点的“档案”如下：

故事类阅读

考点名称：故事类阅读

• 故事类阅读：
  文章一般描述的是某一件具体事情的发生发展或结局，有人物、时间、地点和事件。
  命题往往从故事的情节、人物或事件的之间的关系、作者的态度及意图、故事前因和后果的推测等方面着手，考查学生对细节的辨认能力以及推理判断能力。
  阅读这类材料时，同学们一定要根据主要情节掌握文章主旨大意，同时抓住每一个细节，设身处地根据文章内容揣摩作者的态度和意图，根据情节展开想象，即使是碰到深层理解题也可迎刃而解。

• 故事类阅读注意：
  初中生接触到的阅读材料大都是故事类。
  阅读故事类的材料，应该抓住人物线索、地点线索、时间线索和情节发展线索。
  
  特别注意的是，以上线索往往是并存的。因为情节的发展总是涉及到人物的变化、时间的推移、场景的变换等。
  而阅读材料后的阅读理解往往会围绕这些内容设计一些事实类的理解题。
  
  凡事实类的理解题都可以从阅读材料的表层文字中找到答案。
  
  在阅读故事类短文时，应理解文章的深层含义，也就是它的主题。在此需要注意的是，现在的阅读理解题在测试事实类的理解题的同时，往往有一道推理类理解测试题．
