周一Section A中的细节题题型分析 细节题,顾名思义,就是考查考生对文章细节理解的题目,主要是对文中的具体事实和细节进行提问,目的是考查考生对文中重要事实和细节部分的辨认和记忆能力。细节题在同等学力人员申请硕士学位英语水平考试的阅读理解中所占比重较大。考试中出现的细节题一般有三种主要形式:问句式、不完整的陈述句式和排除式。
1. 问句式
问句式是以提问的形式提出问题,用于测试读者理解阅读材料中具体内容的能力。一般在原文中可以直接找到答案。题目常以“which, where, what, when, why, who”等WhQuestions及“how”引导的问题作为问句,主要涉及具体的时间、人物、地点、事实、原因、结果、目的、定义、数字等。提问形式一般如下:
Why does the author mention Mr. Pickwick in Charles Dickens novel?
What did psychologists find out about Clever Hans?
What was the most significant about the experiment, according to Dr. Lit?
Which of the following phenomena makes researchers puzzled?
How many people in the room saw the gorilla in the video?
According to Sir Liam Donaldson, what is the best way to avoid obesity?
2. 不完整的陈述句式
有些题目并不是以问句的形式出现,而是一个不完整的陈述句,要求读者选出的答案与题干构成的句子在意义上与原文内容相符。题干为不完整的陈述句部分,而选择项目为完形部分,可以是短语或完整的句子,主要涉及人物、时间、地点、事件、数字、目的、原因等。常见形式有以下几种:
According to Zubernis, fans want their letters to be read because they .
Swifts management claimed that .
Many people are unwilling to ask for help because they .
In the authors eyes, his little daughter was .
An example of good manners on the roads is .
Lake Livingston is mentioned to show that the public .
Batteries are not an ideal energy source for sensor networks because they .
Lisa Lit and her colleagues .
3. 排除式
前两种形式都是依据短文所提供的事实细节,要求读者完全理解全文,可以直接在文章中找到答案。还有一种问题的形式,就是要求我们排除文章中的说明信息,找出原文未涉及的内容,间接地找出问题的答案。提问模式如下:
Which of the following is NOT considered by the author as a potential threat to kids?
Which of the following is NOT recommended by the Health Development Agency?
Which of the following is NOT changing the traditional roles of doctors and patients?
Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a cause of aggressive driving?解题技巧1. 问句式
在解这类题时,可采用“对号入座”的办法,即带着问题找句子,建议采取如下步骤:
(1)先看文章后面的问题(这常常被认为是非常有效的方法),注意记忆关键的词语,如人物、时间、事件等,确定题目的发问**,也就是说,问题是针对什么提问的。这样我们就可以带着问题去阅读文章,做到有的放矢。
(2)把每个问题的发问**反馈到原文中去。当读到有关解答发问**的信息时,可在有关信息下面画一直线以示突出。如果问题的顺序没有按原文顺序给出,可以在原文信息下画线的同时,把问题的题号也标出来,便于*后检查,并节约时间。
(3)在原文中找出对发问**的解答信息后,可把原文信息放到问题中去,与每一个选择项目进行对照,与原文信息相符的那项,即是正确的答案。
2. 不完整的陈述句式
这类题的答案与原文在字面上的差异很大,有时还要找出与前句的内容在逻辑上的联系。根据自己在题中所画的关键词到原文中找与题中所画关键词的意思相同或相近的对应词。答此类细节题时准确理解是关键,一定要冷静,仔细分析。
3. 排除式
做这类题时,首先要仔细阅读题后的选择项目,牢记各个项目所阐述的不同内容,然后带着这些不同的内容去阅读原文。凡是原文中的信息有与选择项目内容相同的,我们可以在这些信息下画线,以作为排除的内容。如果选择项目的内容在原文找不到相应的信息,那么该选择项目即为该题的答案。这类题与前两种题型不同,后者的答案应包括在原文的内容中,即与所述事实具有直接或间接的联系,而前者的答案是被排除在原文内容之外的,因此在答题时要将与原文有关的三个选择项排除,剩下的一个才是答案。
真题演练1 【2009年真题】
The other day my son asked me if he could ride up to his elementary school on his bike and meet his friend. He wanted the both of them to ride back to our house so they could play video games and jump on the trampoline(蹦床). I have to admit, part of me wanted to say no. We can go pick him up or his parents can bring him over here, I thought. But my son is eleven years old now. And after all, I do let him ride his bike to school. But I also drive my daughter to school and I can see him on the way, making sure he is getting there safely.
My husband thinks I am too overprotective. I dont dare to let my children walk anywhere without one of us going along. As you pull out of our neighborhood, there is a shopping center across the street. My son always asks if he can ride his bike or walk over to the drugstore by himself. But crossing that street is just too dangerous. The cars fly around the corner like theyre driving in a car race. What if he gets hit? What if some teenage bullies are hanging out in the parking lot?
31. What did the author feel reluctant to let her son do?
A. Meet his friend. (见他的朋友。)
B. Play video games. (打电子游戏。)
C. Jump on the trampoline. (在蹦床上跳。)
D. Ride his bike on streets. (在大街上骑车。)【参考答案及解析】
31. D。【解析】细节题。属于问句式。由**段*后一句“… I can see him on the way, making sure he is getting there safely.”以及第二段*后两句“What if he gets hit? What if some…parking lot?”可以看出,作者很不放心儿子独自骑车出门。故选D。
【重难点词汇】
ride up to骑车赶到elementary school小学
trampoline n. 蹦床overprotective adj. 过分保护的;过分溺爱的
bully n. 土霸,地痞;vt. 欺负,威吓hang out闲逛,闲荡
【长难句精析】
What if some teenage bullies are hanging out in the parking lot?
(1)该句是个假设句。“What if…”意为“如果…怎么办?”。
(2)句子大意:如果一些十多岁的小混混在停车场转悠怎么办?
