知识点1 题型特点
整体分布：新高考阅读理解的命题形式中，细节理解题所占相对比例占阅读理解题总量的60％左右，
占比最高，是最重要的得分点。
设问方式：对文中具体信息进行提问，涉及与主题相关的事实或细节，或就原文中的数字进行提问。
以特殊疑问词who,when,where,which,why,what,how many/much等，重在考查对文章的某一细
节或事实的理解。
难度分析：细节理解题有时比较直接，在文中直接可以找到信息，有时有时需要归纳、概括和推理才
能答题。分析近几年高考英语阅读试题中细节题 由过去简单的对号入座直接答题 ， 转向通过语句的同义或
反义转换来考查对英语语言的理解能力，因此难度比往年有所增加。
考查内容：涉及时间、地点、人物、事件、原因、结果、方式以及在议论文中可以涉及例证的细节和
定义类的细节。 常见细节理解题命题包括直接信息题、间接信息题、数字计算题和细节排序题。
知识点2 选项规律
干扰项特征 例句
张冠李戴 为原文内容，但非题目要求或要点。
偷梁换柱 在意思上与原文非常相似但在某个细节上有变动。
正误参半 选项内容 部分正确，部分错误。
颠倒是非 与原文意思大相径庭或完全相反。
无中生有 符合常识但与原文不符或原文并未提及。
扩缩范围 以偏概全或以全概偏。
正确选项特征 例句
如 lose one’ job 替换为 out of occupation; fortnight 换为 two weeks;
同义替换
dozen替换为twelve等。正话反说 把原文中的意思反过来表达而成为正确选项。
语言简化 把原文中复杂的语言现象进行简化，设置为答案。
具有概括性，用精练的语言概括原文中分散的或复杂的信息，考查考生的概
信息归纳
括和归纳能力
知识点3 高分技巧
1. 高考英语阅读逻辑细节理解题可以采用“先题后文法”。仔细阅读题目和选项。在阅读题目和选项
时，要注意关键词和细节信息。
2. 原文定位时，要寻找与题目相关的线索，但线索不一定是题干中的原词。可以是近义词、同义词、
原词甚至是反义词，也可以是具体的数字、日期、地点或作者的观点、态度等。
3. 在阅读时，可以使用下划线、标记符合、圈出等方式，将文章中的关键信息和细节部分标注出来，
以便更准确高效的理解文章。
4. 考生在快速阅读文章从文中获取某些特定的信息时，要求考生务必忠实于原文及全篇的逻辑关系，
不能主观臆断。5. 关注原文高频命题点：
1. 举例和比喻处常考
2. 列举、排比处常考
3. 指示代词出现处常考
4. 引用人物观点处常考
5. 特殊标点符号后的内容常考
考点二 直接信息题
第一步：速度题干，定位题干关键词如时间、地点、人物等细节；
第二步：查找原文对应关键词，将试题信息与原文信息进行语义转换；
第三步：逐一核对选项，仔细辨别，找出与原文重叠的选项意义但不一定是原词。
典例1.（2024年新高考I卷B篇）
...
Farber, a graduate of Colorado State University, started out as a more conventional veterinarian. He became
interested in alternative treatments 20 years ago when he suffered from terrible back pain. He tried muscle-relaxing
drugs but found little relief. Then he tried acupuncture, an ancient Chinese practice, and was amazed that he
improved after two or three treatments. What worked on a veterinarian seemed likely to work on his patients. So,
after studying the techniques for a couple of years, he began offering them to pets.25. Why did Farber decide to try acupuncture on pets?
A. He was trained in it at university. B. He was inspired by another veterinarian.
C. He benefited from it as a patient. D. He wanted to save money for pet owners.

your ticket in a MacBike shop or book online.
3. Where does the guided city tour start?
A. The Gooyer, Windmill. B. The Skinny Bridge.
C. Heineken Brewery. D. Dam Square.
考点三 间接信息题
间接细节题相比直接细节题，命题的隐蔽性更强，正确选项一般都会在原文基础上进行改造。考查综合细
节题的体裁常为记叙文、说明文或议论文，涉及人与社会、人与自我和人与自然三大主题语境。
常考类型：
①同义转述类：为了增加迷惑性，出题人有时会利用同义词、近义词甚至反义词等对题干或正确答案进行
转换。
②数字计算类：此类题要求考生对表示时间、数量等的数字信息进行加工，重在考查考生对具体细节信息
的处理能力，故试题涉及的计算相对简单。
③综合细节类：此类试题涉及一段内的多个信息点或多段内容且各个细节信息都能在文章中找到。考生要
具备一定的概括或归纳能力才能正确作答。
第一步：审读题干，提取关键信息；
第二步：速读定位原文信息句，将试题信息与原文信息进行语义转换；
第三步：逐一核对选项，仔细辨别，得出答案。
解题原则：对原文多处相关信息进行整合转换。

典例2.（2023年新高考I卷B篇）
When John Todd was a child, he loved to explore the woods around his house, observing how nature solved
problems. A ditry stream, for example, often became clear after flowing through plants and along rocks where tiny
creatures lived. When he got older, John started to wonder if this process could be used to clean up the messes
people were making.
After studying agriculture, medicine, and fisheries in college, John went back to observing nature and asking
questions. Why can certain plants trap harmful bacteria (细菌)? Which kinds of fish can eat cancer-causing
chemicals? With the right combination of animals and plants, he figured, maybe he could clean up waste the way
nature did. He decided to build what he would later call an eco-machine.
4. What can we learn about John from the first two paragraphs?
A. He was fond of traveling. B. He enjoyed being alone.
C. He had an inquiring mind. D. He longed to be a doctor.

题一般会涉及时间、年龄、价钱、数量、距离等的简单计算。一般来说，计算量都比较小，容易计算。但
是英语阅读中的数字计算必须要找出计算背后所隐含的信息。这些信息会涉及对某个难句的理解，从这个
角度上讲，理解文中相应的复杂句是解这类题的关键。设问方式以when，in which year，how many/much
等疑问词(组)开头引出问题。解此类试题常用“整合推算”法。
此类题要求考生对具体细节信息 , 尤其是年龄、时间、数量等数字信息进行加工 . 试题的重点不在于计
算 , 而在于考查考生对具体信息的处理能力 。第一步：锁定题干关键词如：数字、时间、年代、费用等。
第二步：迅速在原文中定位相关数据或事实，读懂相关句子的真正含义。
第三步: 进行推算，得出结论，核对选项。

典例2.（2023全国乙卷C篇）
According to a new study from market analysts, 1 in 5 Britons say that watching cookery programmes on TV
has encouraged them to try different food. Almost one third say they now use a wider variety of ingredients (配料)
than they used to, and just under 1 in 4 say they now buy better quality ingredients than before. One in four adults
say that TV chefs have made them much more confident about expanding their cookery knowledge and skills, and
young people are also getting more interested in cooking. The UK’s obsession (痴迷) with food is reflected through
television scheduling. Cookery shows and documentaries about food are broadcast more often than before. With an
increasing number of male chefs on TV, it’s no longer “uncool” for boys to like cooking.
10. Which is the percentage of the people using more diverse ingredients now?
A. 20%. B. 24%. C. 25%. D. 33%.

典例1.
A schoolgirl saved her father's life by kicking him in the chest after he suffered a serious allergic (过敏的)
reaction which stopped his heart.
Izzy, nine, restarted father Colm's heart by stamping (踩) on his chest after he fell down at home and stopped
breathing.
Izzy's mother, Debbie, immediately called 999 but Izzy knew doctors would never arrive in time to save her
father, so decided to use CPR.
However, she quickly discovered her arms weren't strong enough, so she stamped on her father's chest instead.
Debbie then took over with some more conventional chest compressions (按压) until the ambulance arrived.Izzy, who has been given a bravery award by her school, said, “I just kicked him really hard. My mum taught
me CPR but I knew I wasn't strong enough to use hands. I was quite scared. The doctor said I might as well be a
doctor or a nurse. My mum said that Dad was going to hospital with a big footprint on his chest.”
“She's a little star，” said Debbie, “I was really upset but Izzy just took over. I just can't believe what she
did. I really think all children should be taught first aid. Izzy did CPR then the doctor turned up. Colm had to have
more treatment on the way to the hospital and we've got to see an expert.”
Truck driver Colm, 35, suffered a mystery allergic reaction on Saturday and was taken to hospital, but was
sent home only for it to happen again the next day. The second attack was so serious that his airway swelled,
preventing him from breathing, his blood pressure dropped suddenly, and his heart stopped for a moment.
He has now made a full recovery from his suffering.
What's the right order of the events?
①Izzy kicked Colm. ②Debbie called 999.
③Izzy learned CPR. ④Colm's heart stopped.
A．③①②④ B．④②③①
C．③④②① D．④③①②
典例2.（2023年湖北高三华中师大一附中校考）
With the availability of easy-to-use at-home kits, DNA testing for dogs has become increasingly popular
among dog owners in recent years. It can provide invaluable insights into a dog’s breed, health risks, and even
behaviors.
DNA testing typically works by analyzing the genetic material found in a sample of cells taken from the inside
of your dog’s cheek. This sample is then compared to a database of known breeds and genetic markers associated
with certain traits or health conditions.
The first step in obtaining a DNA test kit is selecting which type you want. Most companies offer several
different types of tests that vary in cost and complexity. For instance, some tests just analyze your dog’s breed
composition, while others can assess additional genetic markers associated with certain diseases or behaviors.
Then it’s time to collect your dog’s sample using the provided swab (拭子) kit or saliva-collection tube
included with most kits. The swab should be gently rubbed inside your pet’s cheek according to the kit’s directions
before being placed into the collection container provided by the company. After collecting the sample, it should be
mailed back to the laboratory for processing according to instructions given by the company providing the service.
Once received by the lab, it typically takes 1-2 weeks for results to be processed and sent back via email or mail.
Results will vary depending on which type of test was purchased, but they generally include detailed information
about your pet’s breed composition as well as any potential health risks or behavioral traits associated with their
genetics that could affect their overall well-being and quality of life.
If you’re looking for an easy way to learn more about your pup’s background without spending too much
money, then DNA testing might just be right up your alley.
10. What is the correct order of having an DNA test?
①get the sample processed ②rub the swab gently ③receive the result
④select the type of test ⑤place the swab into the container ⑥mail the sample back to the labA. ④-②-⑤-⑥-①-③ B. ④ ⑤-①-②-⑥-③

“You enter the fare gates (检票口) and you’ll see a kiosk that is lit up and it tells you can get a one-minute, a
three-minute, or a five-minute story,” says Alicia Trost, the chief communications officer for the San Francisco Bay
Area Rapid Transit — known as BART. “You choose which length you want and it gives you a receipt-like short
story.”
It’s that simple. Riders have printed nearly 20,000 short stories and poems since the program was launched last
March. Some are classic short stories, and some are new original works.
Trost also wants to introduce local writers to local riders. “We wanted to do something where we do a call to
artists in the Bay Area to submit stories for a contest,” Trost says. “And as of right now, we’ve received about 120
submissions. The winning stories would go into our kiosk and then you would be a published artist.”
Ridership on transit (交通) systems across the country has been down the past half century, so could short
stories save transit?
Trost thinks so.
“At the end of the day all transit agencies right now are doing everything they can to improve the rider
experience. So I absolutely think we will get more riders just because of short stories,” she says.
And you’ll never be without something to read.
5. How are the stories categorized in the kiosk?
A. By popularity. B. By length.
C. By theme. D. By language.
6. What has Trost been doing recently?
A. Organizing a story contest. B. Doing a survey of customers.
C. Choosing a print publisher. D. Conducting interviews with artists.
7. What is Trost’s opinion about BART’s future?
A. It will close down. B. Its profits will decline.
C. It will expand nationwide. D. Its ridership will increase.
2.（2024年新高考II卷阅读理解C篇）We all know fresh is best when it comes to food. However, most produce at the store went through weeks of
travel and covered hundreds of miles before reaching the table. While farmer’s markets are a solid choice to reduce
the journey, Babylon Micro-Farm (BMF) shortens it even more.
......
8. What can be learned about BMF from paragraph 1?
A. It guarantees the variety of food. B. It requires day-to-day care.
C. It cuts the farm-to-table distance. D. It relies on farmer’s markets.

Campbell’s point is to wake up those responsible for AI-the technology companies and world leaders-so they
are on the same page as all the experts currently developing it. She explains we are at a “tipping point” in history
and must act now to prevent an extinction-level event for humanity. We need to consider how we want our future
with Al to pan out. Such structured thinking, followed by global regulation, will enable us to achieve greatness
rather than our downfall.
14. What does Campbell urge people to do regarding AI development?
A. Observe existing regulations on it.
B. Reconsider expert opinions about it.
C. Make joint efforts to keep it under control.
D. Learn from prior experience to slow it down.

1.（2024·湖南长沙·三模）“Hey, lady! You can move your ugly car up now!” The silver-haired driver
behind me in a fancy truck rudely yelled at me. Without much thought, I yelled back at the man, “What? Are you in
a rush or something? ”
I was waiting in line at the drive-through to order our breakfast on a Sunday morning. There were only 12
inches or so between me and the car in front of me. There were also three additional cars in front of that one. We
were getting nowhere fast. What was he hoping to gain by yelling at me?
I wanted to let my own anger go after this ridiculous exchange. But the more I thought about it, the angrier I
got. I was angry that he yelled at a mother in front of two kids. My daughter and my son were both confused and
saddened by what they had just witnessed. We were on our way to a soccer tournament, and we had a bonus day
free from school and work. Probably, there was nothing in the world to be upset about. Then this man let his anger
out.
I told my kids I was so mad that I had to roll my window up so that I wouldn’t keep yelling at this guy. Then,
I stopped and looked back. I had moved up the 12 or so inches at his “suggestion”, while he hadn’t moved an inch.
Suddenly, I felt sympathy for him. He must have been suffering in some way. As my kids and I slowly made our
way to the pick-up window to pay for our order, I had an idea.
“I heard how rude that man was to you, and I wanted to apologize to you for having to put up with that. He
isn’t worth paying for,” the cashier said to me. “My kids support me in doing that,” I answered the cashier, adding
that hate cannot drive out hate.
1．Why was the driver angry with the author?
A．Her car cut in. B．She held up his truck.
C．Her car stopped suddenly. D．She screamed at him.
2．What was the author’s final decision?
A．She taught her kids a lesson. B．She apologized to the driver.
C．She paid for the driver’s food. D．She gave the cashier some advice

that mattered. There was one book that never made it onto that shelf, though I read it in high school: Writing Down
the Bones by Natalie Goldberg.
I can still remember the day I bought it. It was summer and I must have been 14 or 15. Desperate to get out
of my house, I rode my bike into town and walked into the bookstore. I was going through the shelf of books onwriting and it caught my eye. I picked it up, read a few pages, and bought it. Then I took it with me to a park, read
the first few chapters, and opened my notebook to write.
It’s a fairly straightforward writing book. Goldberg’s method is simple: you choose a topic, set a timer, and
write for 10, 15, or 20 minutes without picking up your pen. Free writing, timed writing, writing topics: anyone
who has taken a creative writing class may have encountered these things. There was nothing particularly new or
unusual about the book so I can’t say why it attracted me so much. But it changed everything. I went from being
someone who enjoyed writing to being a writer.
During my teen years and early twenties, following Goldberg’s method was at the core of my identity. No
matter where I was or what I was doing, I filled notebooks. When I eventually started writing fiction, I did the same
thing. The “I” in my notebooks became someone else, but I held to the same practice.
This writing practice led me to a writing group in Boston. It led me to my current career. It led me, in so
many ways, to myself. Becoming a writer allowed me to become so many other things: an activist, a business
owner, a farmer, a baker... Writing is where I found my confidence. It was where I became curious about the world.
From that, everything else has followed.

3.（2024·河南郑州·三模）My husband made a little two-story house that mirrored our own in color and
design for our Little Free Library, while I carefully selected books from our shelves. The idea struck us
immediately-instead of loading boxes into the car for yet another used book sale, we could simply walk them to the
roadside.
Fifteen or so years later, it’s safe to say that thousands of books, as well as the occasional DVDs, CDs and
jigsaw puzzles have been shared through our little library. Located on a busy street just a few blocks from a subway
station, our little library sees dozens, perhaps hundreds, of passers-by each day.
Many of those who use our library do not hesitate to share their love of this neighborhood resource. One
gentleman regularly stops by to pick up books for a nearby retirement home. At other times, we have received cards
and gifts, including chocolates and even a personalized sketch (素描) from a local artist.Like the people who use our library, the books that come and go reflect the broad diversity of our city.
Arabic, French and Russian books are the large part among the dominant English-language books. I have even
collected favorite books of mine in languages I don’t understand, simply for the joy of adding another edition to my
collection. Surprisingly, our library hasn’t solved our book storage problem-if anything, we now have more books
than ever before.
I have heard some complaints that Little Free Libraries do not always serve the purpose of building
community and may compete with our public libraries and independent bookstores. This has not been our
experience. We continue to buy more books than we need and we are fiercely loyal users of the public system. Our
Little Free Library has enhanced our love of reading and has connected us to a community of book lovers in the
heart of our busy neighborhood.
6．Why did the author and her husband build the Little Free Library?
A．To prepare for used book sales. B．To make friends with book lovers.
C．To deal with their unwanted books. D．To make use of community resources.
7．How has the Little Free Library impacted the community?
A．It has strengthened neighborhood connections.
B．It has become a meeting place for local artists.
C．It has weakened public libraries to some degree.
D．It has promoted the rise of independent bookstores.
