记叙文之空间顺序——“移步换景”巧解题
记叙文中的空间(地点)顺序一般指在同一个时间背景下，不同地点、不同场景发生的事情。“移步换景”是此类记叙文的明显特点，文章中的情节随着地点的更迭变换而跌宕起伏。因此，此类记叙文中地点多、情节较复杂，阅读此类文章可采用“移步换景”法，即一边阅读、一边标注出在不同地点发生了什么事情，进而从整体上把握全文内容。

[1]When I was 17, I read a magazine article about a museum called the McNay, once the home of a watercolorist named Marian McNay. She had requested the community to turn it into a museum upon her death. On a sunny Saturday, Sally and I drove over to the museum. She asked, “Do you have the address？” “No, but I’ll recognize it, there was a picture in the magazine.”
[2]“Oh, stop. There it is！”
[3]The museum was free. We entered, excited. A group of people sitting in the hall stopped talking and stared at us.
[4]“May I help you？” a man asked. “No，” I said.“We’re fine.” Tour guides got on my nerves. What if they talked a long time about a painting you weren’t that interested in? Sally had gone upstairs. The people in the hall seemed very nosy (爱窥探的), keeping their eyes on me with curiosity. What was their problem? I saw some nice sculptures in one room. Suddenly I sensed a man standing behind me. “Where do you think you are？” he asked. I turned sharply.“The McNay Art Museum！” He smiled, shaking his head.“Sorry, the McNay is on New Braunfels Street.” “What’s this place？” I asked, still confused. “Well, it’s our home.” My heart jolted (震颤). I raced to the staircase and called out，“Sally! Come down immediately！”
[5]“There’s some really good stuff (艺术作品) up there.” She stepped down, looking confused. I pushed her toward the front door, waving at the family, saying, “Sorry, please forgive us, you have a really nice place.” Outside, when I told Sally what happened, she covered her mouth, laughing. She couldn’t believe how long they let us look around without saying anything.
[6]The real McNay was splendid, but we felt nervous the whole time we were there. Van Gogh, Picasso. This time, we stayed together, in case anything else unusual happened.
[7]Thirty years later, a woman approached me in a public place. “Excuse me, did you ever enter a residence, long ago, thinking it was the McNay Museum？”
[8]“Yes. But how do you know? We never told anyone.”
[9]“That was my home. I was a teenager sitting in the hall. Before you came over, I never realized what a beautiful place I lived in. I never felt lucky before. You thought it was a museum. My feelings about my home changed after that. I’ve always wanted to thank you.”

[定区间•细比对]
41.What do we know about ？
A. She was a painter.
B. She was a community leader.
C. She was a museum director.
D. She was a journalist.
41.由题干中的关键词Marian McNay定位到第一段。根据“换景1”中的“a watercolorist named Marian McNay”可知，Marian McNay是一位painter (画家)。
42.Why did the author refuse the help from the man ？
A. She disliked people who were nosy.
B. She felt nervous when talking to strangers.
C. She knew more about art than the man.
D. She mistook him for a tour guide.
42.由题干中的关键词in the house可定位到第四段。根据“换景3”中的“Tour guides got on my nerves.(导游让我紧张)”可知，“我”把那个人误认为是导游了。
43.How did the author feel about being stared at by the people ？
A. Puzzled.    B．Concerned.
C. Frightened.      D．Delighted.
记叙文的顺序43.由题干中的关键词in the hall可定位到第四段。根据“换景3”中“我”被那些人盯着时的疑惑“What was their problem？”及后文中的“still confused”可知，“我”感到很困惑(puzzled)。
44.Why did the author describe   in just a few words？
A. The real museum lacked enough artwork to interest her.
B. She was too upset to spend much time at the real museum.
C. The McNay was disappointing compared with the house.
D. The event happening in the house was more significant.
44.由题干中的关键词the real McNay museum可定位到第六段。根据“换景5”可知，作者和朋友来到真正的McNay博物馆，但是她们一直觉得紧张，害怕又出现先前那种不同寻常的事，由此推断，作者不是重点描述McNay博物馆，而是描述这次突发事件带来的影响。
45.What could we learn from ？
A. People should have good taste to enjoy life.
B. People should spend more time with their family.
C. People tend to be blind to the beauty around them.
D. People tend to educate teenagers at a museum.
45.由题干中的关键词定位到最后一段，从“换景7”中那位女士的话“在你造访之前，我从未意识到我住的是个多么美丽的地方”可推知，人们往往对自己身边的美丽视而不见。
[答案]　41.A　42.D　43.A　44.D　45.C

Ⅰ.阅读理解
Asking for help is a sign of strength rather than weakness.In American culture, the independent individual is seen as their ideal.As the University of Missouri at St.Louis states on its website under the heading Key American Values, “Americans have been trained since very early in their lives to consider themselves as separate individuals who are responsible for their own situations in life and their own destinies.” The value also makes them think they can do everything themselves, and makes them feel badly about asking for help when they need it.
And when it comes to work situations, when they think about asking for help there, sometimes they fear that a request for help would make them look inept.While this has always been true for men, many women in the workplace have felt the need to try twice as
hard as their male colleagues and do twice as much to get just as far and to prove their worth.Sometimes when we think about asking for help, our inner voices tell us, “See, if you admit you can’t do this on your own, they’ll see you for the imposter (骗子) you really are.”
But the fact is, even though individualism is on the rise, we can’t do everything by ourselves and we shouldn’t try.
Apple founder Steve Jobs once told the Santa Clara Valley Historical Association about the power of asking for help, and how he “never found anybody who didn’t want to help me when I asked them for help”．He said, at the age of 12, he called Bill Hewlett, co­founder of Hewlett­Packard, on the phone after getting his number from the phone book and asking him for spare parts so he could build a frequency counter (计频器)．And Hewlett agreed and offered young Jobs a summer job assembling frequency counters.
“If you’re afraid of failing, you won’t get very far，” Jobs said.
语篇解读：本文是一篇议论文。很多人担心求助别人会让别人笑话自己没有能力，因此不愿求助他人，导致他们忽视了求助可能带来的预想不到的效果。

A．What key American values are.
B．Why Americans refuse to ask for help.
C．Asking for help is a sign of strength.
