【AEAS考试网】英语细节题的解题技巧
目前,AEAS考试报名受到的关注越来越高,AEAS培训录取竞争越来越激烈。这里应广大学子的要求,AEAS考试网为大提供AEAS真题模拟成绩提升技巧,这次介绍的是英语细节题的解题技巧。
【题型特点】这类试题旨在考查考生对事实细节的确定。这类试题一般只针对文章中某一特定的细节,也可能涉及若干个细节,或者针对文章的主要事实,或利用图形图表或地图来表示信息等。此类试题一般又可分为两类:一是直接理解题,答案可在原文中直接找到;二是词义转换题,答案是原文中有关词语和句子的转换,而不能在原文中直接找到。
【命题形式】这类题主要是针对who, what, which, why, how, when, where等来提问的。如:等来提问的。如
(1)Which of the following statements is true / NOT true / false, according to the passage?
(2)Which of the following statements is (not) correct?
(3)In the passage, which of the following is mentioned / not mentioned?
(4)All the following statements are not true except ______.
(5)All the statements are true except______.
(6)Choose the right order of the events given in the passage?
(7)When/Where did the story happen?
了解这些题目的设计特点对正确解题有一定帮助。一般来说,设计这些题目时,编题者常常会换用不同的词、词组、短语、句型、或其它不同的表达方式来表达文段中某一相应的词、词组、短语、句型或表达方式所表达的同一意思,以此来考察读者对文段中某一信息的理解。解答这类阅读理解题尤其要求我们熟练掌握所学范围内的词汇、短语、句型及其意义和用法。
【实例分析】下面是选自全国的一篇阅读题。短文后面的阅读理解题的设计采用了替换词汇(单词、词组或短语)、替换句型、转换表达形式等命题方式。我们通过对这些例题的分析,具体了解一些阅读理解题的设计特点和解题的基本方法。
The basenji is a central African hunting dog. It comes from a country called Chad, which is north of the Central African Republic. The basenji was well-known as the “silent dog” because for centuries no basenjis had ever been known to bark (吠).

【答案解析】
1. 该题题干的意思可以理解成 Basenjis’ native country is…,其信息联系点在第一自然段的第1句。根据这一句所传达的信息,我们可以排除1A、B两个选项,因为它们均大于文段中所给的信息的范围 (The basenji is a central African hunting dog)。D选项与第一段的第2 north 这个词,但 North Africa 是“北非”,在“非洲”北部;而 north of the Central African Republic 是“中非共和国的北部”,在“中非”北部,它们表示的范围(或概念)不一致,也可以排除,因此,可以确定C选项是正确的。该题题干的设计采用了换句型的方法,即用 Basenjis were first found in central Africa 表达 The Basenji is a central African hunting dog 的意思。
2. 该题可以理解为 Why were Basenjis so special,其信息联系点在第一自然段的第3句。根据这一句所提供的信息,我们基本可以确定D句。根据这一句所提供的信息,我们基本可以确定选项是正确的,因为 …because… 表达了主从句之间的因果关系,而A、B、C三个选项与文段中的信息联系点没有什么关系,因此,都可以排除。该题的设计同时用了换词和换表达形式两种方法,即,用 special 取代 was well-known,用 quiet 取代 silent;用 was born quiet 取代 had never been known to bark。
3. 该题与文段的信息连接点在第二段的第2句,题目的设计采用了换词的手法,because表示主从句之间的因果关系,但题干用 Americans like Basenjis 替代了文段中的 In America people keep Basenjis,即用 Americans 取代了(In America)people,用 like 取代了 keep,用 pleasant 取代了 gentle and full of fun。在四个选项中,B、C两个选项与文段中的信息点 gentle and full of fun 的意思无关;D选项只与信息点的部分意思D(gentle)相关,因此,这三
个选项都可以排除。A选项可以完整地概括 gentle and full of fun 全部意思,因此,正确选项应该是A。
4. 该题问的是“Basenjis在那一方面象猫”,其信息连接点在第二段的第3句。该题的设计采用了换词的方法,即C选项 They clean themselves all over 中的 clean 取代了文段中 It washes itself all over”中的“washes”,符合题意,而A、B、D三个选项的意思均与该信息点的意思无关,因此均可以排除。
5.该题的信息连接点在第二段的第1句。题目的设计采用了换词、换表达形式的方法。文段中的“…Basenjis are known for their natural courage and are still popular ”句。题目的设计采用了换词、换表达形式的方法。文段中的“”实际上可以理解为“Basenjis are still popular hunting dogs because they are known for their natural courage”,即文段中用“and”表示前后两个并列句之间的因果关系,而题干用“because”表示主从句之间的因果关系;此外,题干中的“good hunters”取代了文段中的“popular hunting dogs”,B选项中的“fearless”取代了文段中的“courage”,符合文意,因此正确,而A、C、D三个选项均与文中相关信息点的意思无关,可以排除。阅读理解题的设计千变万化,但只要我们加强阅读实践,不断总结经验,同时注意题目设计的基本规律,就一定能提高我们的阅读理解水平和能力。
