2018考研英語(yǔ)閱讀解題秘籍：細(xì)節(jié)題
由歷年考研英語(yǔ)真題可知，閱讀理解部分的試題中，大多數(shù)是針對(duì)段落的細(xì)節(jié)設(shè)計(jì)的，其目的是為了測(cè)試考生對(duì)組成段落的主體部分的理解。在每年的考試中，細(xì)節(jié)題的數(shù)量是最多的，大約占50%，其中涉及對(duì)文章中復(fù)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。
另外，細(xì)節(jié)題的測(cè)試在另一方面也可以考察考生對(duì)段落結(jié)構(gòu)的理解程度，哪些是輔助論點(diǎn)，哪些是主要脈絡(luò)，只有對(duì)這些細(xì)節(jié)有一定的了解，我們才能更深入地領(lǐng)會(huì)文 章。文章的細(xì)節(jié)并不是孤立的，它總要與其他事實(shí)前后呼應(yīng)，一般來(lái)說(shuō)，作者總會(huì)把同等性質(zhì)的事實(shí)放在一起，并借助不同的銜接手段進(jìn)行組合，從而達(dá)到說(shuō)服讀者 或闡明觀點(diǎn)的目的。其提問(wèn)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(duì)于細(xì)節(jié)題我們要從詞義與語(yǔ)法(句法)著手，從這個(gè)角度來(lái)說(shuō)，此類考題又可被細(xì)劃分以下幾個(gè)細(xì)類：
1. 因果標(biāo)志語(yǔ)
表因果關(guān)系的標(biāo)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(biāo)志語(yǔ)
in general, generally speaking, in short, in a word, to be brief in all, in simple words
3. 轉(zhuǎn)折與對(duì)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(biāo)記語(yǔ)
similarly, likewise, in similar fashion, in similar way, in the same matter, just as
5. 列舉標(biāo)志語(yǔ)
one… another…still another, first…second…third
6. 舉例標(biāo)志語(yǔ)
for example, as an example, as an instance, take…as an example, let me cite… as a proof
針對(duì)細(xì)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(huì)每句話在文章中的作用。在閱讀過(guò)程中，要培養(yǎng)自己對(duì)文章主要討論對(duì)象、關(guān)鍵詞，作者和專家的觀點(diǎn)，以及語(yǔ)氣的把握。特別注意作者和專家的觀 點(diǎn)，專家和專家之間的觀點(diǎn)是否相同或相反或互補(bǔ)，以及作者和專家的語(yǔ)氣是贊成還是反對(duì)，是關(guān)注還是樂(lè)觀等等。如果是真題，還要仔細(xì)分析考點(diǎn)和正確、干擾選 項(xiàng)的規(guī)律、特征。在此過(guò)程中，可把文章盡可能的多讀幾遍，甚至翻譯一下，提高對(duì)文章中單詞、短語(yǔ)、句型等的反應(yīng)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醫(yī)學(xué)全.在.線.提供. 52667788.cn。許多考生拿到文章之后從頭讀起，讀完再去一個(gè)一個(gè)選答案。這種方法十分傳統(tǒng)，叫整體閱讀法。其優(yōu)點(diǎn)是可以有一種全局感或整體 感。缺點(diǎn)是文章太長(zhǎng)，讀后細(xì)節(jié)記不住，再去找答案又費(fèi)勁又容易出錯(cuò)，許多細(xì)節(jié)都混淆在一起了，得分經(jīng)常不高。建議同學(xué)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(gè)問(wèn)題問(wèn)的什么，帶著這個(gè)問(wèn)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(wèn)題可能此方法不太適用，那就是：主旨性問(wèn) 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?yàn)閯偪匆欢尉腿プ鲆坏李}，這樣對(duì)細(xì)節(jié)會(huì)把握得很準(zhǔn)。
所以，閱讀理解并不是簡(jiǎn)單的讀懂文章就可以把題作對(duì)，在對(duì)文中內(nèi)容全面正確把握的同時(shí)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(shí)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(xiàng)，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(yīng)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(diǎn)就是題目中都有一個(gè)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(gè)詞語(yǔ)的出現(xiàn)本身就有一個(gè)暗示，說(shuō)明選項(xiàng)中應(yīng)該有不止一個(gè)原因，但是題目要求回答出其中最重要的一個(gè)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(gè)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(gè)內(nèi)容在選項(xiàng)中都有出現(xiàn)，很多同學(xué)會(huì)因?yàn)橄热霝橹鞯乃季S習(xí)慣選擇A。但是當(dāng)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(gè)因素，我們就要比照四個(gè)因素哪個(gè)影響最大醫(yī)學(xué)全.在.線.提供. 52667788.cn。原文中的第四點(diǎn)前出現(xiàn)了above all，這個(gè)短語(yǔ)表示“最重要的是”，所以此題應(yīng)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(xiàng)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(shè)計(jì)成了干擾項(xiàng)。但是其中受到強(qiáng)調(diào)的是above all 后面的這個(gè)因素�！發(fā)ike 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。
