01題型綜述

?題型簡介

?細節理解題是高考英語閱讀理解中最基本的題型，主要考查考生對文章具體信息的理解和提取能力。

一般包括直接信息題、直接理解題、間接信息題、數字計算題、排列順序題、圖表圖畫題等。它要求

考生能夠讀懂文章中的具體細節內容，如事件發生的時間、地點、人物、原因、過程、結果等諸多細

節信息。這種題型在閱讀理解部分占比較大，是獲取高分的基礎。

?細節理解題的文章體裁多樣，包括記敘文、說明文、議論文等。文章內容涉及廣泛，如人物傳記、科

技知識、文化教育、社會現象等諸多領域。

?設題類型

?直接信息題1直接詢問文章中明確提到的具體信息，如“Whattimedidthetrainleave?,,t4Whoistheauthor

ofthebookmentionedinthetext?”這些問題的答案可以直接在原文中找到對應的語句。

?間接信息題：這類題目需要考生對原文中的信息進行簡單的轉換或者推理。例如，問題可能是根據文

中所描述的人物的行為來推斷其態度，或者根據事件發生的先后順序來推斷某個事件的原因。提問方

式可能是"Whydidthecharactermakesuchadecision?,,ctWhatcanbeinferredaboutthesituationfromthe

description?^^

?數字計算題：通常涉及文章中的數字信息，如時間、價格、數量等，要求考生進行簡單的計算。例如，

“Iftheoriginalpriceofaproductis$100andit*sona20%discount,howmuchdoesitcostnow?^^

?排序題：［要求考生根據文章內容對事件、步驟等進行排序。比如，"Whichofthefollowingisthecorrect

orderoftheprocessdescribedinthetext?”

?解題思路

?定位信息：首先，根據題目中的關鍵詞（如人名、地名、時間、事件等），快速在文章中定位相關段

落或者語句。例如，如果題目問的是關于某個科學家的研究成果，就快速找到文中提及該科學家的部

分。

?仔細閱讀：|定位到信息后，仔細閱讀該部分內容，理解細節信息的含義。注意理解上下文語境，有時

候一個單詞或者短語的意思需要結合上下文才能準確把握。

?對比選項：將選項與原文內容進行逐一對比。對于直接信息題，看選項是否與原文表述一致；對于間

接信息題，判斷選項是否是對原文信息合理的轉換或推理；對于數字計算題，檢查計算過程是否正確；

對于排序題，核對選項中的順序是否與原文描述相符。排除與原文不符的選項，從而選出正確答案。

?命題方式

考查文章細節理解的測試題的常見問題：

①Thisarticleisparticularlywrittenfor...?

②Whenthewritersays...hereallymeans...?

(3)Theauthor9sattitudeto...isthat...?

④Whatkindofatmospheredoesthewriterwanttocreateinthispassage?

⑤Thewriterregards...as...?

@Thewriter'spurposeinwritingthisstoryis...

02解題攻略

題型oi直接信息題

提絆籍

對于直接信息題，可以首先從問題中找到關鍵詞，然后以此為線索，運用略讀及查閱的技巧在原文中

直接找到明確的信息，往往只考查文章中的個別事實，通常只涉及原文一兩句話的信息。也就是說，命題

者設置的題目比較直接，理解字面意思即可作答。該題型幾乎都可以在文章中直接找到與答案有關的信息，

或是其變體，大部分篇幅都屬于這類圍繞主體展開的細節。

題型03間接信息題

提分秘籍

間接信息題一般無法在文中直接找到明確的信息，因為其答案選項的表述通常不是使用文章的原話，

而是使用與文中同義或近義的詞語來表達。考生需對原文信息進行加工處理，然后再進一步推理鑒別；做

這類題目時，學生需要對原文信息進行加工處理，然后再進行進一步的推理或鑒別，這是介于事實細節題

和推理判斷題之間的一種題型，對學生來說有一定難度。

題型04數字計算題

提絆籍

數字計算題也是近幾年高考中常考的內容，此類試題是在文章中直接表現出來細節事實，有的要經過

具體的計算才能夠得出正確的答案。具體的計算題可以是對年代的計算、月份的計算或比例的計算等。文

章中經常會出現許多數字，它們對解題產生一定的影響。

提分秘籍

在有圖表圖畫的閱讀理解中，有的圖表圖畫出現在閱讀理解文章中，有的出現在選項中，這些圖片的

出現增加了試題的直觀性，同時也暗含著和文章內容相關的信息。學生應該把握準圖表圖畫中的一些細微

處，找準和題干相關的信息，不得疏忽。

題型06排列順序題

提無秘籍

排序題要求考生根據事件發生的先后順序和句子之間的邏輯關系，找出事件發生、發展的正確順序。

如果是記敘文，排序題通常以事件發生的時間為線索；如果是說明文，排序題通常以說明的先后順序為線

索；如果是議論文，排序題通常以邏輯順序為線索。從近幾年高考試題來看，這類試題主要出現在記敘文

和說明文中。近幾年高考英語題中，這類試題出現較少，但也需要引起學生注意。
