精准练习(三)　首段点题类(一) 首段点题是指首段直接告诉我们全篇文章的主题，下文通过例证，数据分析，引用等方式来支持拓展首段的主题，一般在末段都会呼应首段主题，所以做主旨大意类的题目通过首段就可以判断出来，其他题目一般也要和主题保持一致，这也为做好其他题目奠定了基础。首段点题类语篇是英语常用文章结构，在高考阅读中数量最多，本部分提供两次精准练习，并分别配备了拓展语篇供同学选用。 　2020·浙江三市质检-阅读A篇 A famous Anglican Church stands in a quiet corner of Dunedin in New Zealand's South Island. Built in 1865，it is the city's oldest church still in use.Countless couples have gathered here to marry.It's where morning tears are shared，friendships formed and comfort given during times of loss. As with many churches，its walls are graced with a collection of beautiful stained-glass windows. Known as the“John Allen window”， one window portrays the short life of a local man，John Allen，who died in 1915 in the Gallipoli campaign in Turkey. John was the son of Sir James Allen，who as Minister of Defense，helped plan and administer New Zealand's World War I strategy，which saw 100,000 troops sent to fight. With the war over and his son dead, Sir James chose to install a window in the church, with which the Allen family had strong ties. Divided into two parts，one depicts (描绘) St.George，the patron saint (守护神) of soldiers，while the other has an angel of peace, along with the words at the bottom，“John Hugh All Gallipoli,6th June,1915”. Two trees with local birds on the branches can be seen and a kiwi walks at the bottom-reminders that John was a lover of birds. “There are many war memorials in the church，”says the church. “However the ‘John Allen window'stands out; it touches people because of the beautiful design, the New Zealand birds and because John's story, of a life so full of promise ending tragically in the war，reflects the lives and stories of so many others involved in World War I．” [分析]　这是一篇说明文。首段最后两句对教堂意义的描述是本文的主题。然后下文通过教堂被称为“约翰·艾伦之窗”的窗户，体现了战争与和平的主题，最后一段和首段呼应，标明本文是关于教堂背后的意义。 1．What does the word “portrays” in paragraph 2 most probably mean?
