考研英語：“細節(jié)題”全攻略

　　摘要：由歷年考研英語真題可知，閱讀理解部分的試題中，大多數(shù)是針對段落的細節(jié)設計的，其目的是為了測試考生對組成段落的主體部分的理解。在每年的考試中，細節(jié) 題的數(shù)量是最多的，大約占50%，其中涉及對文章中復雜句，列舉，例證，引用，轉(zhuǎn)折，因果關(guān)系等的處理，因此做好這類題至關(guān)重要。

　　細節(jié)題的測試考察考生對段落結(jié)構(gòu)的理解程度，哪些是輔助論點，哪些是主要脈絡，只有對這些細節(jié)有一定的了解，我們才能更深入地領(lǐng)會文章。文章的細節(jié)并不是孤立的，它總要與其他事實前后呼應，一般來說，作者總會把同等性質(zhì)的事實放在一起，并借助不同的銜接手段進行組合，從而達到說服讀者 或闡明觀點的目的。其提問方式不外乎有以下幾種：
　　The author provides following examples except …
　　According to the author, all of the following are true except (that)____.
　　Which is among the best possible ways to…?
　　Which of the following would NOT be an example____?
　　Which of the following is the LEAST likely…?
　　對于細節(jié)題我們要從詞義與語法(句法)著手，從這個角度來說，此類考題又可被細劃分以下幾個細類：
　　1、因果標志語
　　表因果關(guān)系的標志詞可具體分為：
　　1)表原因
　　because of, since, for, as, now that, seeing that, owing to, caused by, the main reason for…is
　　2)表結(jié)果
　　hence, thus, so, therefore, consequently, as a consequence, accordingly, for that reason
　　2、結(jié)論標志語
　　in general, generally speaking, in short, in a word, to be brief in all, in simple words
　　3、轉(zhuǎn)折與對比題
　　but, however, nevertheless, otherwise, dissimilarly, unlike, on the contrary, in contrast, in opposition to, on the opposite side
　　4、 比較類型標記語
　　similarly, likewise, in similar fashion, in similar way, in the same matter, just as
　　5、 列舉標志語
　　one… another…still another, first…second…third
　　6、舉例標志語
　　for example, as an example, as an instance, take…as an example, let me cite… as a proof
　　針對細節(jié)題，考生要注意分析句子和句子之間的關(guān)系，是因果、遞近、轉(zhuǎn)折還是什么?尤其要注意文章的第一句和最后一句，以及每段的第一句和最后一句與其它句子 的關(guān)系，體會每句話在文章中的作用。在閱讀過程中，要培養(yǎng)自己對文章主要討論對象、關(guān)鍵詞，作者和專家的觀點，以及語氣的把握。特別注意作者和專家的觀 點，專家和專家之間的觀點是否相同或相反或互補，以及作者和專家的語氣是贊成還是反對，是關(guān)注還是樂觀等等。如果是真題，還要仔細分析考點和正確、干擾選 項的規(guī)律、特征。在此過程中，可把文章盡可能的多讀幾遍，甚至翻譯一下，提高對文章中單詞、短語、句型等的反應速度，閱讀速度自然也就提高了。
　　此外，閱讀的步驟也十分重要。許多考生拿到文章之后從頭讀起，讀完再去一個一個選答案。這種方法十分傳統(tǒng)，叫整體閱讀法。其優(yōu)點是可以有一種全局感或整體 感。缺點是文章太長，讀后細節(jié)記不住，再去找答案又費勁又容易出錯，許多細節(jié)都混淆在一起了，得分經(jīng)常不高。建議同學們用一下查找閱讀法：讀完第一段就做 第一題。然后看第二個問題問的什么，帶著這個問題去看第二段，然后是第三段、第四段，依此類推。(注意，有一種問題可能此方法不太適用，那就是：主旨性問 題)。查找式閱讀法雖然把文章看得支離破碎，但得分往往很高，因為剛看一段就去做一道題，這樣對細節(jié)會把握得很準。
　　所以，閱讀理解并不是簡單的讀懂文章就可以把題作對，在對文中內(nèi)容全面正確把握的同時還要審清題目，理解題目要求。
　　2001年P(guān)assage 1
　　Specialization can be seen as a response to the problem of an increasing accumulation of scientific knowledge. By splitting up the subject matter into smaller units, one man could continue to handle the information and use it as the basis for further research. But specialization was only one of a series of related developments in science affecting the process of communication. Another was the growing professionalisation of scientific activity.
　　54. The direct reason for specialization is _________.
　　[A]the development in communication
　　[B]the growth of professionalisation
　　[C]the expansion of scientific knowledge
　　[D]the splitting up of academic societies
　　該題考察的是實行專業(yè)化的直接因素是什么，根據(jù)本文第一句即可找到答案C為正確選項，其中"as a response to"即表示的是因果關(guān)系。
　　類似的解題思路可應用到以下文章中：
　　What accounts for the great outburst of major inventions in earlyAmerica-breakthroughs such as the telegraph, the steamboat and the weaving machine?
　　Among the many shaping factors, I would single out the country's excellent elementary schools; a labor force that welcomed the new technology; the practice of giving premiums to inventors; and above all the American genius for nonverbal, spatial thinking about things technological.(1996)
　　1. According to the author, the great outburst of major inventions in early America was in a large part due to ________.
　　[A] elementary schools
　　[B] enthusiastic workers
　　[C] the attractive premium system
　　[D] a special way of thinking
　　The researchers studied the behavior of female brown capuchin monkeys. They look cute. They are good-natured, cooperative creatures, and they share their food readily. Above all, like their female human counterparts, they tend to pay much closer attention to the value of goods and services than males. (2005)
　　2. Female capuchin monkeys were chosen for the research most probably because they are ________.
　　[A] more inclined to weigh what they get
　　[B] attentive to researchers' instructions
　　[C] nice in both appearance and temperament
　　[D] more generous than their male companions
　　這兩道題共同的特點就是題目中都有一個表示程度的限定詞。第一道題中的限定詞是in a large part，第二道題中的限定詞是most probably，這兩個詞語的出現(xiàn)本身就有一個暗示，說明選項中應該有不止一個原因，但是題目要求回答出其中最重要的一個因素。原文定位第一道題，可以發(fā)現(xiàn)定位句"I would single out the country's excellent elementary schools;a labor force that welcomed the new technology;the practice of giving premiums to inventors;and above all the American genius for nonverbal，spatial thinking about things technological"中含有四個并列成分，分別是"excellent elementary schools" , "a labor force", "the practice of giving premiums to inventors"和"the American genius for nonverbal，spatial thinking about things technological"。上述四個內(nèi)容在選項中都有出現(xiàn)，很多同學會因為先入為主的思維習慣選擇A。但是當我們注意到題干中的限定信息是要求找其中影響最大的一個因素，我們就要比照四個因素哪個影響最大。原文中的第四點前出現(xiàn)了above all，這個短語表示"最重要的是"，所以此題應該選擇D。
　　類似的2005年的考題中也出現(xiàn)了同樣的情況，題干中出現(xiàn)most，選項中出現(xiàn)了列舉。"They look cute. They are good-natured，cooperative creatures，and they share their food tardily. Above all，like their female human counterparts，they tend to pay much closer attention to the value of goods and services than males." 這些列舉也分別被設計成了干擾項。但是其中受到強調(diào)的是above all 后面的這個因素。"like their female human counterparts，they tend to pay much closer attention to the value of goods and services' than males"，所以此題答案為A。
