关于细节理解题

用细节定位法：细节理解题属于直接解答性问题，是阅读理解题中最简单的一种，多数属中低难度的送分题。但由于高考所占的比例很大，应特别引起注意。事实和细节题的命题特点是：把某词语、某个句子或某具体事实用不同于原文的另一方式或句型表达，即同义改写。解答这类题的窍门是：A)注意掌握英语的多种表达法；B)正确分析词语在句中的作用；C)熟练运用英语的句型转换；D)读懂题干所提出的问题，并准确地找到文中涉及该问题的句子。

比如文章第2小题，我们首先读懂题干What can we learn about the play Hello Sadness? 关于话剧Hello Sadness ，我们能了解到——然后快速定位文章第二部分对于Hello Sadness的介绍，——定位到句子This play is adapted from the 1954 French novel Bonjour Tristesse written by Francoise Sagan when she was only 18.找到关键词——This play is adapted from the 1954 French novel得出答案。

B

Reading can be a social activity. Think of the people who belong to book groups. They choose books to read and then meet to discuss them. Now the website BookCrossing.com turns the page on the traditional idea of a book group.

Members go on the site and register the books they own and would like to share. BookCrossing provides an identification number to stick inside the book. Then the person leaves it in a public place, hoping that the book will have an adventure, traveling far and wide with each new reader who finds it.

Bruce Pederson, the managing director of BookCrossing, says, “The two things that change your life are the people you meet and books you read. BookCrossing combines both.”

Members leave books on park benches and buses, in train stations and coffee shops. Whoever finds their book will go to the site and record where they found it.

People who find a book can also leave a journal entry describing what they thought of it. E-mails are then sent to the BookCrossers to keep them updated about where their books have been found. Bruce Peterson says the idea is for people not to be selfish by keeping a book to gather dust on a shelf at home.

BookCrossing is part of a trend among people who want to get back to the “real” and not the virtual(虚拟). The site now has more than one million members in more than one hundred thirty-five countries.

5. Why does the author mention book groups in the first paragraph?

A. To explain what they are.

B. To introduce BookCrossing.

C. To stress the importance of reading.

D. To encourage readers to share their ideas.

6. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to?

A. The book. B. An adventure.

C. A public place. D. The identification number.

7. What will a BookCrosser do with a book after reading it?

A. Meet other readers to discuss it. B. Keep it safe in his bookcase.

C. Pass it on to another reader. D. Mail it back to its owner.

8. What is the best title for the text?

A. Online Reading: A Virtual Tour

B. Electronic Books: A new Trend

C. A Book Group Brings Tradition Back

D. A Website Links People through Books

【答案】5. B 6. A 7. C 8. D

【解析】试题分析：

5. B 目的意图题。作者在第一段中提出读书也是一种社交活动，那些参加读书小组的人经常在一起阅读讨论所读内容，增强相互之间的理解。接着在最后一句提出BookCrossing.com,说明作者提到读书小组的目的正是为了介绍网站BookCrossing.com。故B正确。

6. A 代词指代题。根据本句“... hoping that the book will have an adventure, traveling far and wide with each new reader who finds it”可知，那些留下书的人希望自己的书能够随着找到它的人走得更远。可知其中的it指代前半句提到的同一事物“the book”。故A正确。

7. C 推理判断题。根据文章第五段最后一句“... the idea is for people not to be selfish by keeping a book to gather dust on a shelf at home”可知，让书蒙上尘土是一种很自私的行为，网站BookCrossing.com的目的正是鼓励人们与别人分享图书，所以拿到书的人最可能继续把书传递下去。故C项正确。

8. D 标题概括题。根据文章第三段可知BookCrossing.com把改变人生的两种事物：遇到的人和读过的书联系在一起。D项内容能够涵盖文章的中心思想。

C

A new collection of photos brings an unsuccessful Antarctic voyage back to life.

Frank Hurley’s pictures would be outstanding — undoubtedly first-rate photo-journalism

—if they had been made last week. In fact, they were shot from 1914 through 1916, most of them after a disastrous shipwreck(海滩), by a cameraman who had no reasonable expectation of survival. Many of the images were stored in an ice chest, under freezing water, in the damaged wooden ship.

The ship was the Endurance, a small, tight, Norwegian-built three-master that was intended to take Sir Ernest Shackleton and a small crew of seamen and scientists, 27 men in all, to the southernmost shore of Antarctica’s Weddell Sea. From that point Shackleton wanted to force a passage by dog sled(雪橇) across the continent. The journey was intended to achieve more than what Captain Robert Falcon Scott had done. Captain Scott had reached the South Pole early in 1912 but had died with his four companions on the march back.

As writer Caroline Alexander makes clear in her forceful and well-researched story The Endurance, adventuring was even then a thoroughly commercial effort. Scott’s last journey, completed as he lay in a tent dying of cold and hunger, caught the world’s imagination, and a film made in his honor drew crowds. Shackleton, a onetime British merchant-navy officer who had got to within 100 miles of the South Pole in 1908, started a business before his 1914 voyage to make money from movie and still photography. Frank Hurley, a confident and gifted Australian photographer who knew the Antarctic, was hired to make the images, most of which have never before been published.

9. What do we know about the photos taken by Hurley?

A. They were made last week.

B. They showed undersea sceneries.

C. They were found by a cameraman.

D. They recorded a disastrous adventure.

10. Who reached the South Pole first according to the text?

A. Frank Hurley. B. Ernest Shackleton.

C. Robert Falcon Scott. D. Caroline Alexander.

11. What does Alexander think was the purpose of the 1914 voyage?

A. Artistic creation. B. Scientific research.

C. Money making. D. Treasure hunting.

【答案】9. D 10. C 11. C

【解析】试题分析：文章讲述了Frank的图片记录了一次不成功的航海活动，介绍了与之相关的一些具体内容。

9. D细节理解题。根据第一段they were shot from 1914 through 1916, most of them after a disastrous shipwreck可知这些照片记录了一次海难。故选D.

10. C细节理解题。根据第三段最后 Captain Scott had reached the South Pole early in 1912 but had died with his four companions on the march back.可知最早到达南极的是Captain Scott，故选C.

11. C细节理解题。根据最后一段adventuring was even then a thoroughly commercial effort.和start a business before his 1914 voyage to make money from movie and still photography”可知Alexander认为他的这次航行是商业行为，就是为了挣钱。故选C.

做好细节理解题的几点建议：

细节理解题属直接解答性问题，是阅读理解题中最简单的一种，多数属中低难度的题。但高考所占的比例大，应特别引起注意。事实和细节题的命题特点是：对文章或某一段落中的一些特定细节或文章重要事实的理解，一般包括直接理解题和语义转化题。直接理解题能在原文直接找到答案，而语义转化题则需要将题目信息与原文信息加工或整理后才能得出结论。

做细节理解题具体方法与步骤如下：

①略读材料，大概了解原文，掌握中心或主旨；

②按文章的体裁，作者写作的组织模式及有关的信息词。如for example, first, second…等预测应该到何处寻找自己所需要的事实；

③将自己精力放在寻找你所需要的细节上。快速通篇跳读，全文扫视，找到细节出处，待找到含细节句子时，放慢速度，仔细核对比较内容，直至找到答案。如第34小题根据第三段最后 Captain Scott had reached the South Pole early in 1912 but had died with his four companions on the march back.可知最早到达南极的是Captain Scott，故选C. 第35小题根据最后一段adventuring was even then a thoroughly commercial effort.和start a business before his 1914 voyage to make money from movie and still photography”可知Alexander认为他的这次航行是商业行为，就是为了挣钱。故选C.

D

As Internet users become more dependent on the Internet to store information, are people remembering less? If you know your computer will save information, why store it in your own personal memory, your brain? Experts are wondering if the Internet is changing what we remember and how.

In a recent study, Professor Betsy Sparrow conducted some experiments. She and her research team wanted to know how the Internet is changing memory. In the first experiment, they gave people 40 unimportant facts to type into a computer. The first group of people understood that the computer would save the information. The second group understood that the computer would not save it. Later, the second group remembered the information better. People in the first group knew they could find the information again, so they did not try to remember it.

In another experiment, the researchers gave people facts to remember, and told them where to find the information on the computer. The information was in a specific computer folder(文件夹).Surprisingly, people later remembered the folder location better than the facts. When people use the Internet, they do not remember the information. Rather, they remember how to find it. This is called “transactive memory”(交互记忆).

According to Sparrow, we are not becoming people with poor memories as a result of the Internet. Instead, computer users are developing stronger transactive memories; that is, people are learning how to organize huge quantities of information so that they are able to access it at a later date. This doesn’t mean we are becoming either more or less intelligent, but there is no doubt that the way we use memory is changing.

12. The passage begins with two questions to_____.

A. introduce the main topic

B. show the author’s attitude

C. describe how to use the Internet

D. explain how to store information

13. What can we learn about the first experiment?

A. The Sparrow’s team typed the information into a computer.

B. The two groups remembered the information equally well.

C. The first group did not try to remember the information.

D. The second group did not understand the information.

14. In transactive memory, people_______.

A. keep the information in mind

B. change the quantity of information

C. organize information like a computer

D. remember how to find the information

15. What is the effect of the Internet according to Sparrow’s research?

A. We are using memory differently.

B. We are becoming more intelligent.[

C. We have poorer memories than before.

D. We need a better way to access information.

【答案】12. A 13. C 14. D 15. A

【解析】试题分析：文章主要讲的是互联网给人类的记忆带来的影响。互联网使用者越来越依赖互联网来储存信息，人们这样做是否会丧失记忆事物的能力呢？专家怀疑互联网可能正在改变人们的记忆内容和方式。

12. A 写作意图题。根据第一段“Experts are wondering if the Internet is changing what we remember and how.”可知，作者使用两个问句是为了引出要讨论的话题。

13. C 细节理解题。根据第二段“People in the first group knew they could find the information again, so they did not try to remember it.”可知答案。

14. D 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Rather, they remember how to find it. This is called "transactive memory (交互记忆)"”可知，在交互记忆里，人们记得怎样找到信息。

15. A 细节理解题。根据最后一段“but there is no doubt that the way we use memory is changing”可知，互联网对人们的记忆产生的影响是它改变了我们使用记忆力的方式。

【解析】本文是对古代四大古都之一---西安的一次访问。文章描述了西安的一些名胜古迹。

41. 句意：具有3100多年的历史。with表示“具有”。

42. 句意：它的古城墙被保护的最好。此处是一般现在时态的被动语态。故填preserved。

43. 句意：沿着墙壁骑车调查这个迷人的城市是令人惊异的。填amazing。

44. 此处an art gallery是先行词，在后面的非限制性定语从句中作地点状语，故填where。

45. 固定词组：make one’s way to。根据本句主语Most tourists，故填their。

46. Be动词后面用形容词作表语，故填different。

47. 在这里remain（保持，依然）是一个连系动词，再根据后面的until 1974，可知句子用一般过去时态，故填remained。

48. plenty of后面用可数名词的复数形式，故填shops。

49. 固定句式：It is time to do sth.“现在是该做某事的时间了”。故填to leave。

50. 句意：它是值得再拜访一次的名胜古迹。a second visit再一次拜访。故填a。

【名师点睛】

3. a number of “许多；一些”；a great (large, good) number of “许多”，修饰复数可数名词，并且要与复数动词连用。

A number of books are missing from the library.

Have you ever gone to a music festival? During a summer holiday in Hungary, I went to attend my the first music festival. It was really an excitement to us! Since 2002 the Sziget Festival had been running every year in Budapest. It lasts for a week, which famous singers and bands from around the world perform very brilliant. In Hungarian the word ‘sziget’ mean island, which is a very appropriate name although the festival takes place on a large island in the middle of the Danube River in Budapest. Thousands people come on special “party trains” from other country such as France and Italy.

【答案】1.gone改为 been  

2.去掉my后面的the   

3.us 改为 me  

4.had改为 has 

5.which 改为when /and  

6.brilliant  改为brilliantly  

7. mean改为 means

8.although 改为 because /since /as  

9.thousands 后面加上of

10. country改为countries

【解析】本文介绍了作者第一次参加匈牙利布达佩斯的“Sziget Festival”音乐节的情况。

1. have gone表示已经去了，表示短暂性动作；have been表示曾经去过，表示延续性动作。根据语境可知，此处用have been，故把gone改为been。

2. 名词前面有my修饰，不需要冠词修饰。故把the去掉。

3. 此处是人称错误，上文提到的是我参加音乐节，此处应该用“我”的宾格me。故把us改为me。

4. 根据语境分析，并结合时间状语since 2002，该句应该用现在完成进行时，主语是the Sziget Festival，谓语用has been running，故把had改为has。

5. 此处是一个非限制性定语从句，关系词在从句中作时间状语，应该用关系词when或者把句子改写成用and连接的两个分句。故把which改为when或者and。

6. brilliant在句中修饰谓语动词perform，应该用副词修饰动词。故把brilliant改为brilliantly。

7. 句子主语是“the word ‘sziget’”，是单数可数名词，谓语用第三人称单数，故把mean改为means。

8. 根据句意可知，因为音乐节举办在“Budapest”的“Danube River”上，所以说名字很合适。前后句是因果关系。故把although改为because。

9. 此处表示“成千上万的”，thousands of是固定搭配。故加上of。

10. 此处泛指其他国家，并不是一个国家，应该用复数。故把country改为countries。

【答案】Dear peter,

Hope this email finds you well! Last time you said you were learning Chinese but encountered some difficulties. It’s inevitable because English emphasizes the structure, while Chinese focuses on the meaning. Chinese characters are difficult to write and they hare complex tone system. With regard to the matter you mentioned in you letter, my suggestions are as follows:

Firstly, I would recommend you to find a native speaker as a language partner, and meet with him on a regular basis. Besides, watching Chinese movies and listening to Chinese songs can make the learning process much more interesting.

Yours,

Li Hua
