细节性题目是阅读理解题中出现最多的一类问题,大约占40%左右。问题有两种基本形式:完全式和不完全式,其中不完全式的问题占绝大多数。一篇文章必须通过许多细节的信息来解释或表达主题,体现主题思想。弄懂这些细节对于理解全文的作用是不容忽视的。因此要在阅读时准确把握所提供的信息。这类考题是比较直接的,理解字面意思就可答题,有时则是比较间接的,要通过归纳、综合才能得出答案。做细节题时,大多数学生易出现的问题是阅读速度太慢,缺乏一定的快速阅读技巧,考生要培养自己快速获取信息的能力。解答此类试题时,不必通篇细看原文,而应采取“带着问题找答案”的方法,先从问题中抓住关键性词语,然后以此为线索,运用略读及查读的技巧快速在文章中去找与此问题相关的段落、语句,仔细品味,对照比较,确定答案。除了运用扫读法(scanning)外,还可以兼用排除法,将“文中无此细节”和“与此细节相反”的选项排除。细节理解是文章的有机组成部分,是作者表达中心思想的具体手段。读者要准确理解一篇文章,就必须重视人名、日期、事实、数据和地点等。细节理解型题目又分直接信息题型、间接信息题型以及信息综合类题型。Ijustfinishedthehouseholdchoresforthenightandwaspreparingtogotobed,whenIheardanoiseinthefrontofthehouse.Iopenedthedoortothefrontroomandtomysurprise,SantahimselfsteppedoutfrombehindtheChristmastree.HeplacedhisfingeroverhismouthsoIwouldnotcryout.“Whatareyoudoing?”Istartedtoask.Thewordschokedupinmythroat,andIsawhehadtearsinhiseyes.Hisusualjollymannerwasgone.Gonewastheeager,boisteroussoulweallknow.Hethenansweredmewithasimplestatement“TEACHTHECHILDREN!”Iwaspuzzled;whatdidhemean?SantathenreachedinhisbagandpulledoutaFIR(杉木)TREE.“Teachthechildrenthatthepuregreencolorofthestatelyfirtreeremainsgreenallyearround,describingtheeverlastinghopeofmankind,alltheneedlespointheavenward,makingitasymbolofman'sthoughtsturningtowardheaven.”HeagainreachedintohisbagandpulledoutabrilliantSTAR.“Teachthechildrenthatthestarwastheheavenlysignofpromiseslongago.Godpromisedasavior(救世主)fortheworld,andthestarwasthesignoffulfillmentofhispromise.”HethenreachedintohisbagandpulledoutaCANDLE.“TeachthechildrenthatthecandlesymbolizesthatChrististhelightoftheworld,andwhenweseethisgreatlightweareremindedofhewhodisplaces(取代)thedarkness.”SuddenlyIheardasofttwinklingsound,andfromhisbaghepulledoutaBELL.“Teachthechildrenthatasthelostsheeparefoundbythesoundofthebell,itshouldringmankindtothefold.Thebellsymbolizesguidanceandreturn.”Santalookedbackandwaspleased.Isawthatthetwinklewasbackinhiseyes.Hesaid,“Remember,teachthechildrenthetruemeaningofChristmasanddonotputmeinthecenter,forIambutanhumbleservantoftheonethatis,andIbowdowntoworshipHIM,ourLORD,ourGOD.”1.Authoropenedthedoorwhenhewasgoingtosleepbecause________.A.heheardsomethingunusualB.hewasnotsleepingatthemomentC.hesawtheSantaatthemomentD.hewantedtostepoutoftheroom2.AccordingtoSanta,thestarwas________.A.asymbolofman'sthoughtsturningtowardsheavenB.thesighoffulfillmentoftheSanta'spromiseC.thesymbolofthelightoftheworldD.thesoundofthebellwhichringmankindtothefold3.Whatdoestheunderlinedword“twinkle”referto?A.Tears.B.Smiles.C.Glasses.D.Eyes.4.Santadoesn'twanttobeputinthecenterbecausehethinksheisonlya________.A.manB.servantC.lordD.god【语篇解读】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述的是圣诞老人教育孩子们圣诞的真正含义的一片苦心。1.A细节理解题。根据文中第一段whenIheardanoiseinthefrontofthehouse可判断作者是听到了一些声音,才出来看看情况。2.B细节理解题。根据文中倒数第四段thestarwasthesignoffulfillmentofhispromise可判断。3.A词义猜测题。根据文中第二段Isawhehadtearsinhiseyes以及最后一段Isawthatthetwinklewasbackinhiseyes可知发光的东西是眼泪。4.B细节理解题。根据文中最后一段Iambutanhumbleservant可判断答案。【难句分析】[原文]Teachthechildrenthatthepuregreencolorofthestatelyfirtreeremainsgreenallyearround,describingtheeverlastinghopeofmankind,alltheneedlespointheavenward,makingitasymbolofman'sthoughtsturningtowardheaven.[译文]告诉孩子们那纯绿色的杉木树全年保持绿色,描绘着人类的希望。所有的树针指着天空,使它成为了人们想着天空的象征。[分析]本句较长,describingtheeverlastinghopeofmankind和makingitasymbolofman'sthoughtsturningtowardheaven在此为非谓语动词作状语。
