18.Lisa was running late.Lisa,25,had a lot to do at work,plus visitors on the way:her parents were coming in for Thanksgiving from her hometown.But as she hurried down the subway stairs,she started to feel uncomfortably warln.By the time she got to the platform,Lisa felt weak and tired--maybe it hadn't been a good idea to give blood the night before,she thought.She rested herself against a post close to the tracks.
Several yards away,F(xiàn)rank,43,and his girlfriend,Jennifer,found a spot close to where the front of the train would stop.They were deep in discussion about a house they were thinking of buying.
But when he heard the scream,followed by someone yelling,"Oh,my God,she fell in!"Frank didn't hesitate.He jumped down to the tracks and ran some 40feet toward the body lying on the rails."No!Not you!"his girlfriend screamed after him.
She was right to be alarmed.By the time Frank reached Lisa,he could feel the tracks shaking and see the light coming.The train was about 20seconds from the station.
It was hard to lift her.She was just out.But he managed to raise her the four feet to the platform so that bystanders could hold her by the grins and drag her away from the edge.That was where Lisa briefly regained consciousness,felt herself being pulled along the ground,and saw someone else holding her purse.
Lisa thought she'd been robbed.A woman held her hand and a man gave his shirt to help stop the blood pouring from her head.And she tried to talk but she couldn't,and that was when she realized how much pain she was in.
Police and fire officials soon arrived,and Frank told the story to an officer.Jennifer said her boyfriend was calm on their 40一minute train ride downtown-just as he had been seconds after the rescue,which made her think about her reaction at the time."I saw the train coming and 1was thinking he was going to die,"she explained.

點評 人物故事類閱讀理解文章是高考英語常考材料之一.這類文章一般可分為人物傳記和短篇故事兩類.這兩類閱讀材料一般較長,即詞數(shù)多,而且命題也較多,特別是推理判斷題和事實細節(jié)題多.在做此類閱讀理解題時往往是材料看得懂,題目不好做的感覺.因此,在閱讀材料時要重點放在事情發(fā)展的過程和結(jié)果上,注意把握事件的發(fā)展進程及人物之間的關(guān)系,細節(jié)與主題的關(guān)系,用以說明人物性格特點的事實、作者的態(tài)度等,這些內(nèi)容往往是推理判斷題的命題點.至于事實細節(jié)題的解答,同學們切忌想當然或者憑印象,一定要找到文章中的原句,和題干進行比較,再做出正確選擇.
