细节型试题的几种解答方法1 、 词、句转换法
不可否认，细节题在文章中一定能找到答案，但是正确选项与文中原句往往 不 会 一 模 一 样 ， 命 题 者 常 以 释 义（ paraphrase) 或重述（ restatement)的形式来设计题目。因此，熟记近义词及词组，熟悉句型转换是正确解答此类题的关键。
例 1 ：

A. Instructions from parents
B. School education
C. Social experiences
D. Basic instinct
According to Dr. Wendy Gamble of the university of Arizona, kids don’t need any instructions in lying. It comes naturally to them.
“It is not parents or teachers that teach children how to lie.”
从最后一句更清楚的知道说谎是天生的，是一种本能，所以正确答案是 D 。“ instinct” 即“本能的”的意思。

例 3 ：
Every August on the island of Heimaey, off the southern coast of Iceland, young people often take a walk along the streets throughout the night. What’s more, their parents allow them to stay out. Why? The children of Heimaey are going to save young puffins—small black and white seabirds.
The cliffs above the town are home to a large group of puffins. The birds dig holes all around the cliffs. These holes are their homes. The young birds stay in the holes for about seven weeks. Then they begin to leave. Some move slowly on their undeveloped wings and feet down to the northern Atlantic Ocean that surround Heimaey. There, they swim, which they can do naturally, and learn to dive for fish. Others, however, may lose their way at night and find themselves in the town instead. On the ground, the young seabirds are in trouble. Because their wings are not fully developed, they cannot take off quickly to sea and safety. The birds then become a good meal for cats and other animals.
For many years, islanders have helped the young puffins. Early at night in the late August, children carrying thick paper boxes and lights hurry to the seashore to catch puffins. They spend most of the night running after the birds. They put the birds they’ve caught in boxes and take good care of them.
The next morning the children take the puffins to the ocean and set them free. The birds will live at sea until they are at least two years old. Then they will return to the cliffs to build homes of their own for their families.
Will the children of Heimaey always come to save puffins? “Yes,” answer the boys. “We look forward to it. The best time for us is setting the birds free.”
Q: According to the passage, which of the following is not true?
A. Once in a year the children are allowed to
stay out to have a good time with birds, cats,
and animals.
B. The earliest home for the young puffins is in the
cliffs, not in the sands of beaches.
C. Some young puffins make their way down to
the ocean when they are about seven weeks old.
D. The young birds that get to the sea will
stay there for at least two years.

例 4 ：
In the past 200 years, Australia has lost 19 species of animals and 76 species of plants.
The Australian National Parks and Wildlife Service estimates that between 100 and 250 million species of animals and plants have lived on Earth since life began about 3.5 million years ago. Today, there are 5 and 10 million species, of which up to 1 million species could be extinct by the year 2000.
The first species to disappear after the European arrival in Australia were the lesser stick-nest rat, the big-eared hopping mouse and the Darling Downs hopping-mouse. This occurred in about 1840.
Today the council of state and federal ministers responsible for conservation has produced a list of currently endangered fauna, which includes a range of bettors, wallabies, and the numbest. Three species of whale, various birds, a number of frogs, snakes and fish are also on the list.
But there is some cause for optimism. Several species previously believed extinct have reappeared in recent years. Recently, survey parties in remote areas have even found new species of marsupials, and reptile species are regularly discovered.
This could mean that other “extinct” species may yet surface—even the Tasmanian tiger, which some authorities believe still exist in the remote regions of Tasmania.
Q: Which of the following is not true?
A. During the past two centuries, 19 species of animals have disappeared in Australia.
B. Life on Earth is about 3.5 million years old.
C. At least 250 million species of animals and plants could live on earth.
D. By the end of 2000 about 1 million species could become extinct.

D. By the end of 2000, about 1 million
species could become extinct.
3 、长句结构法
为提高试题难度，命题人就“事实与细节”命题时，经常针对句子结构比较复杂的长句来设计问题。在面对这种题设时，学生应首先找出原文中长句的主干成分：主、谓、宾；分清次要成分，如：定语、状语、插入语等，然后对照选项来进行选择，判断该问题加上正确选项能否准确地表达原句的信息值。

例 8 ：
“Have a party at home usually requires a lot of running around on the part of the parents, and often the birthday boy or girl gets lost in wild excitement. But it really doesn’t have to be that way,” said Anaclerio. Last summer, Anaclerio and her friend Jill Carlisle, a Northbrook mother of a 2-year-old, founded a home party-planning business called “A Party in a basket.” Their goal is to help parents and children share in the fun part of party planning, like choosing the subject or making a cake, while they take care of everything.
Drawing on their experiences as mothers, they have created 10 ready-to-use, home party packages. Everything a family needs to plan a party, except the cake and ice cream, is delivered to the home in a large basket.
“Our parties are aimed for children 2 to 10,” Anaclerio said, “and they’re very interactive and creative in that they build a sense of drama based on a subject. For example, at the Soda Shoppe party the guests become waiters and waitresses and build wonderful ice cream creations.

第二讲：阅读中的生词
词义猜测上下文中词义猜， 解释说明前后找；
近反义词不错过， 构词方法记心间；
因果比较关系多， 句法功能齐参与。
1 、上下文为线索猜测词义
一个单词在句中并非是孤立的成分，它同句中的其他单词有着密切的关系，即上下文线索，理解单词、词组、句子的意思，一定要结合上下文来领会其深层含义，在这过程中尤其要注意一词多义的现象。
例 9 ：
Social support cushions stress in a number of ways. First, friends, relatives, and co-workers may let us know that they value us. Our self-respect is strengthened when we feel accepted by others despite our faults and difficulties. Second, other people often provide us with informational support. They help us to define and understand our problems and find solutions to them. Third, we typically find social companionship supportive. Engaging in leisure-time activities with others helps us to meet our social needs while at the same time distracting us from our worries and troubles. Finally, other people may give us instructional support-financial aid, material resources, and needed services—that reduce stress by helping us resolve and cope with our problems.
Q: Which of the following is closest in meaning
to the underlined word “cushions”?
A. Lays the foundation for
B. Lessens the effect of
C. Adds up to
D. Does away with

Q: Which of the following is closest in meaning
to the underlined word “cushions”?
A. Lays the foundation for
B. Lessens the effect of
C. Adds up to
D. Does away with
考虑一下结构，就会发现这是一段很典型的总分结构的说明法，先提出观点： social support cushions stress, 再 first, second, third, finally 分层次说明，到最后一句终于露出真面目： support that reduces stress by …, 于是，我们就可以得出： cushion stress = reduce stress 而 reduces = lessens the effect of
2 、解释、说明为线索猜测词义 有时作者对文中出现的一些较难理解的词，往往会做进一步的解释、说明我们可以以此为线索来猜测词义。有时还可以通过同位关系来猜测词义。
例 10:
Mary played a dual role in the party. In the first act she was a middle-school student, and in the second act she was an old woman.
Q: What is the meaning of the word “dual” here?
Mary played a dual role in the party. In the first act she was a middle-school student, and in the second act she was an old woman.
Q: What is the meaning of the word “dual” here?
通过后两个句子的说明，不难猜到该词的意思是“双重的”。
例 11 ：
There are three kinds of snow. One is a fluffy snow that is somewhat dry and feathery. Another kind is damp and sticks together. There is also a light powdery snow that looks like flour.
Q: The meaning of the word “fluffy” is ____.
There are three kinds of snow. One is a fluffy snow that is somewhat dry and feathery. Another kind is damp and sticks together. There is also a light powdery snow that looks like flour.
Q: The meaning of the word “fluffy” is ____.
从 fluffy snow 后的定语从句可以得知：
“fluffy” 的意思是：“像羽毛般的”
例 12 ：
Alexander Graham Bell was born in 1847 in Edinburgh, Scotland. His father was an expert in phonetics, the study of the sounds of language.
Q: What is “phonetics”____?
通过该词后面的同为语就可以推测出： phonetics 是指 “语言学”。
解释和说明的信号词常有：
is, are, is(are) called, mean, refer to, known as, that is to say, in other words, namely …
3 、近反义词为线索猜测词义
有时作者为了说明相反或相同的人或事，经常会使用一些反义词来进行对比或使用同义词来避免重复，我们可以通过这种正反关系的对比来猜测词义。
例 13 ：
The exhausted man was so tired that he could not move another step.
从 “ so…that…” 的句型知道：他是如此累以致于不能再挪动脚步了。推测出：
“ exhausted” （ 近义词）是 “ tired”;
“ exhausted” 即：“筋疲力尽” 的意思
例 14 ： Unlike his grandpa, who was quite friendly and loveable, Micheal’s grandfather was quite standoffish.
friendly and loveable （反义词） standoffish;
Standoffish 即：“冷淡的”
例 15 ：
He had been getting better, but during the night his condition deteriorated.
get better （反义词） deteriorated;
deteriorated 即：“恶化”
例 16 ：
His father despises him, while his mother loves him very much.
despise （反义词） love
despise 即：“厌恶”，“不喜欢”
4、因果关系猜测词义
当生词出现在含有因果关系的句子中，可通过这种关系，结合自身的生活经验或一般常识，对生词进行猜测。
例 17 ：
All the houses in the city collapsed during the earthquake.
“earthquake” 这一原因得知倒塌 “ collapse” 这一结果
例 18 ：
He poured a basin of water on the fire, which was extinguished immediately.
因为泼了水，所以火被 extinguished“熄灭”
5 、构词法猜测词义
遇到陌生的词或短语时，应注意前缀、后缀和词根，以此来猜测词义。
例 19 ： Thirty years ago, if a crime was committed, society was considered the victim. Now, in a shocking reversal, it’s the criminal who is considered victimized.
In the sentence, the word “victimized” means _____.
A. to be responsible
B. to suffer unfairly
C. to be criticized
D. to be the cause of the crime
“victim” 是 “受害者”的意思， -ize 是“使…化，使成为”的动词后缀，结合起来看， “ victimize” 是“成了受害者或牺牲品的意思”
In the sentence, the word “victimized” means _____.
A. to be responsible
B. to suffer unfairly
C. to be criticized
D. to be the cause of the crime
例 20 ：
Finally, renewable energy sources are used even though they are often expensive to develop. One form of these is geothermal energy. In certain parts of the world the temperature of the earth increases thirty degrees centigrade with each kilometer down. At six kilometers, therefore, it rises to nearly two hundred degrees. To get the heat, water is pumped down into the rocks and back up to the surface. Heat from the earth is already used in certain countries.
The underlined words “geothermal energy” in the passage mean _____.
A. renewable source
B. underground source
C. heat inside the earth
D. temperature of the earth
“geothermal” 是个生词，但它有一个典型的英语术语前缀，即 geo- （地球，大地）。
在高考英语词汇手册中有 geography （地理）和 geology （地质学）这两个词。
常见的还有： geochemistry （地球化学）， geodynamics （地球动力学）， geophysics（地球物理学），等等。
Finally, renewable energy sources are used even though they are often expensive to develop. One form of these is geothermal energy. In certain parts of the world the temperature of the earth increases thirty degrees centigrade with each kilometer down. At six kilometers, therefore, it rises to nearly two hundred degrees. To get the heat, water is pumped down into the rocks and back up to the surface. Heat from the earth is already used in certain countries.
这个词与地球、地质有关。而且下文又介绍说，在地球上的某些地方每深入地下 1公里，地温就升高 30 度。在结尾处，作者还说，地热在有些国家已得到了利用。
由此可见， geothermal energy 是一种 产自地下的热能。 A. renewable source
B. underground source
C. heat inside the earth
D. temperature of the earth

Everyone knows that college students drink wine in part to escape the pressure of studying. Drinking is a good way to forget about chemistry or composition for a while, right? Well, this generalization may not be true. Drs. Elizabeth Parker and Ronald Alkana ran experiments showing that ethanol—pure booze—might aid memory if it is taken in moderate amounts immediately after learning something. At least that is what seems to have happened with drinking mice: they remembered an electric shock for an average of 110 seconds longer than their sober friends. So if alcohol affects human beings as it does mice, we may one day be drinking to remember rather than to forget.
As is used in the passage, the word “sober” can be described as ____.
A.drunk B. not drunk C. awake D. sleepy
