Soon it would be the holidays. But before that, there were the end of year exams. All the students had   been working hard for some time. If they didn't pass, they would have to retake the exams in September.   There were usually a few who failed, but Kate decided not to be one of them. She had worked hard all  day, but just before the exams she was working so hard that her sister was worried about her. She was  staying up too late. The night before the first exam, Barbala insisted  (坚持) that she should have an  early night and take a sleeping pill. She promised (许诺) to wake her in the morning.      As she was falling asleep, Kate was worried in case (万一) she over-slept. Her mind kept jumping   from subject to subject. At last, with the help of the pill, she fell asleep. In no time at all, she was sitting in   the examination hall, looking at the paper. She couldn't answer any of the questions. Everyone round her  was writing pages and pages. However hard she thought, she couldn't find anything to write about. She  kept looking at her watch. Time was running out. There was only one hour left. She started one question,  wrote two sentences, gave up and tried another one. With only half an hour left she wrote another two   sentences. By this time she was so worried that she started crying. Her whole body shook (摇晃,震颤).  It shook so much that it woke her up. She was still in bed and it had all been a terrible dream. A minute   later, Barbala called her name.

据专家权威分析，试题“阅读理解。 Soon it would be the holidays. But before that, ..”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．
