文章如果不全看的话这题貌似很难作对。 A．It was made quite by accident. B．It was based on a lab test of sea life. C．It was supported by an American magazine. D．It was helped by Patricia Wright. 细节理解题大致有如下几种常考题型： 1．描写类细节题
描写类细节题，常常考察考生对文中有关人物动作、思想感情、心理活动、观点，或事件的起因、发展、过程、结果等方面的理解。这类描写信息往往较直接，一般不太需要考生对它们进行较深入的理解，对于该类题，考生一般都可以较直接地从原文中找到与题目对应的有关信息。
例题：（全国高考—上海卷A篇）
You either have it, or you don‘t—a sense of direction, that is. But why is it that some people could find their way across the Sahara without a map, while others can lose themselves in the next street?
Scientists say we‘re all born with a sense of direction, but it is not properly understood how it works. One theory is that people with a good sense of direction have simply worked harder at developing it. Research being carried out at Liverpool University supports this idea and suggests that if we don‘t use is, we lose it.
―Children as young as seven have the ability to find their way around,‖ says Jim Martland, Research Director of the project. ―However, if they are not allowed out alone or are taken everywhere by car, they never develop the skills.‖
Jim Martland also emphasizes that young people should be taught certain skills to improve their sense of direction. He makes the following suggestions:
●If you are using a map, turn it so it relates to the way you are facing.
●If you leave your bike in a strange place, put it near something like a big stone or a tree. Note landmarks on the route as you go away from your bike. When you return, go back along the same route.
●Simplify the way of finding your direction by using lines such as streets in a town, streams, or walls in the countryside to guide you. Count your steps so that you know how far you have gone and note any landmarks such as tower blocks or hills which can help to find out where you are. Now you need never get lost again! 65. Scientists believe that_______.
A. some babies are born with a sense of direction. B. people learn a sense of direction as they grow older C. people never lose their sense of direction
D. everybody possesses a sense of direction from birth
66. What is true of seven-year-old children according to the passage? A. They never have a sense of direction without maps
B. They should never be allowed out alone if they lack a sense of direction C. They have a sense of direction and can find their way around
D. They can develop a good sense of direction if they are driven around in a car. 68. According to the passage, the best way to find your way around is to ________. A. ask policemen for directions.
B. use walls, streams, and streets to guide yourself
C. remember your route by looking out for steps and stairs D. count the number of landmarks that you see
答案与解析：65.选D。根据第二段首句可知：科学家认为我们生来就有方向感。 66.选C。根据第三段首句可知，七岁大的小孩就具备了辨别方向的能力。 68.选B。根据Jim Martland所给的第三条建议中的―… by using lines such as streets in a town, streams, or walls in the countryside to guide you.‖即可得出答案。
2．数据计算题
此类试题一般要求考生能根据阅读材料中给出的有关数据，找出计算关系，通过计算，得出正确的结论。这类计算一般来说比较简单，关键是要弄清各数据间的逻辑关系，选准比较的数据，弄清单位换算关系，确定计算方法，问题便迎刃而解了。对于数据较多、项目复杂用时间或空间跨度较大的短文，通常可采用―列表法‖，即按一定的规律将数据分门别类地列出，化模糊为清晰，为计算打下基础。对于相对不太复杂的数据，可采用―推算法‖，即以有关数据为基准，进行简单的运算就可得出。

4．信息寻找题、广告阅读题
信息寻找题一般在应用文体中较常见，体现于查字典、阅读广告、公告、演出海报、车船航班时间表等之中。这类阅读材料包含的某一方面的信息非常全面，能满足各种人对信息的需求，但在高考试题中，常常是就某一方面提问，考生完全没有必要从头到尾仔细阅读，因为材料中有很多冗余无效信息。做此类题时，宜采用―题干定全法‖。即：先阅读题干，然后根据问题要求，有针对性地阅读相关部分快速寻找有效信息。
广告是阅读理解题常考的一种题材。广告属应用文体。严格来说广告属快速寻找信息题。但是广告有着其他快速寻找信息题不同的特点。广告文体简洁明快，省略了大量的词语，达到了篇幅小、信息多的目的。同时具有语言精练，形象性、鼓动性强的良好效果。广告阅读题多为细节理解题，关键在于正确理解广告内容。考生必须具备较强的语言运用能力，熟悉文化背景，利用各种手段（如：补全、联想、推测等）正确解读广告的内容。通常运用―补全成分法‖和―联想推测法‖两种方法来解读广告的内容。做题方法同样采用―题干定向法‖。
（1）补全成分法
省略名在广告体阅读材料中大量出现，可以说广告阅读理解材料中大多数句子都是省略句。我们应结合全文语境及逻辑关系将省略句补全，从而更加准确地理解。如：Driver wanted. 根据文义，可将该句补充为：A driver will be wanted. (招聘一名司机)。
17
（2）联想推测法
在些广告时间、日期、地点、电话、票价等用了缩略词，甚至一概没有提及，这就需要考生前后连贯，充分想象，整体理解。搜寻已知信息，推断语篇意义。
为节省篇幅，特别是在商业广告中，常使用缩写词，尽管有些缩写不太规范，但却常用，常见的缩写词有： Tel. =telephone number
Ph. =phone Add (r). =address co. =company Ltd=Limited Max=maximum Min=minimum hr=hour t=time
fig=figure ft=foot ml=mile doz=dozen Mt=Mountain P=page prof. =professor Dr. =doctor s=south n=north
w=west Sta=Station pop=popular vs=versus
Xmas=Christmas info=information VIP=very important persons hrs=hours
aft=after ad=advertisement p/t=part time exp=experienced PC=personal computer MA=Master of Arts BS degree=bachelor's degree (学士学位) 例题： （全国卷I、II C篇）

When Lewis and Clark stepped onto the Weippe Prairie in present-day Idaho in September 1808, they met the Nez Perce Indians. In the following years, the white explorers（探险者）began to fight with the Indians for their land. Some Nez Perce chiefs signed agreements with the U.S. government, selling part of their lands. But the government always broke those agreements and demanded more land.
Other chiefs refused to go along with the government‘s plans. The most famous was Chief Joseph, whose people lived in the Wallowa Valley（present-day Oregon）.
―In order to have all people understand how much land we owned, ‖he once explained, ―my father planted poles around it and said: ?Inside is the home of my people…It circled around the graves（坟墓）of our fathers, and we will never give up these graves to any man. ‘‖
But in 1874, the U.S. government declared the valley open for white settlement and ordered the Nez Perce onto a reservation（保留地）. Seeing that resistance was useless, Chief Joseph agreed to move.
19
Later, fighting broke out between the Nez Perce and U.S. soldiers. Chief Joseph tried to lead his people to Canada, winning several battles against the soldiers during their flight. But finally, he was forced to give in. 56. Which historic site （on the map）lies in the south of today‘s Nez Perce Reservation? A. Buffalo Eddy. B. Dug Bar.

D. They were limited to the Wallowa Valley.
答案与解析：56. 选D。此题考察学生的图示理解能力。首先要找到并标出现在Nez Perce Reservation所在的位置，然后找到它以南的历史景点（有■标志）。可以看到Chief Looking Glass Camp位于Nez Perce Reservation（范围以内）的南部。
57. 选C。从地图中我们可以看到，Nez Perce原先所拥有的土地（粗线范围内）比现在的Nez Perce保留区（阴影部分）大多了。
6．表格理解题
表格阅读题需正确理解表格中所提供的内容，看懂行和列分别代表的意义，在正确理解的基础上才能做出正确的选择。通常情况下需要对表格的项目进行比较，找准正确的计算关系尤为重要。由于表格具有信息量大的特点，而有些信息与题干无关，如通篇阅读，既缺少针对性又浪费时间，一般采用―首读题干法‖为上策，即先读题目要求，带着问题在表格里查找相关信息，去伪存真。如考查有关数据的相互关系，这就需要对各数据进行分析，找出隐含规律，此时常用―文表分析法‖来提示其规律。 Country or Area A B C D E
