名师指津 第十八周 评价人物/事物题 1 高考英语阅读理解题中，常出现对文本中的相关人物及事物进行评价，我们称之为评价题。解答此类题，需要结合文本对人物/事物的描述从而对人物/事物的特征作出合理的评价。 名师指津 ［典型例题1］ 评价人物 (2019年全国Ⅰ卷·27) For Canaan Elementary’s second grade in Patchogue, N.Y., today is speech day, and right now it’s Chris Palaez’s turn… But he’s nervous…Chris trips on the “-ld,” a pronunciation difficulty for many non-native English speakers.
