重难点 03 阅读理解细节理解题
在历年高考阅读理解中，对细节理解类题型的考查同往年一样，依然占了较大的比例（60%左右），
全国及各省、市均有对此题型的考查，无一例外。
细节理解题要求考生对阅读材料中的某一具体事实和细节进行理解。它们大都是根据文章中的具体信
息如事实、例证、原因、过程、论述等进行提问的。有些问题可以在文章中直接找到答案，有些则需要我
们在理解的基础上将有关内容系统化才能找到，比如计算、排序、是非判断、图形比较等。
分析今年高考题可知，细节理解类题呈不断上升的趋势，且由过去简单的对号入座直接答题转向通过
语句的同义或反义词及长难句来考查考生对语言的理解能力，难度比之前有所增加。
预计2024年高考细节理解题仍旧占比7-8题。

1. 掌握技巧,灵活运用
(1)细心审题,直接就题找答案提取“带着问题找答案”的方法,先从问题中抓住关键性尚(题眼),然后以此为
线索运用略读及查读的技巧快速:得在文章中寻找与此问题相关的段落、语句, 仔细品味,对照比较,确定答
案。
(2)变通理解,间接转述找答案
细节理解题通常采用词语和句型转换的形式来取代原文中的表述,命题者在出这类题时惯用“偷梁换柱、张
冠李戴”的手法来迷惑考生,即对原句细微处做改动,摘取原文词语或结构进行改造,因果倒置,把A的观点说
成B的观点等。
(3)多点归纳,综合事实找答案
细节理解题有时考查的并不是单一的信息,而是多处信息的整合。解答此类“综合”信息细节题时,一定要
全面捕捉相关信息,进行综合分析、归纳,切忌根据“一面之词”草率地得出结论。
2. 明确干扰,破除陷阱
(1)扩大或缩小范围
文章为了表达准确严密,经常通过加上相应的词语限制如涉及数量时常用many,almost all,nearly, more than,
over, only afew,normally等限制。有些干扰项改变或去掉限定词语,甚至是扩大或缩小语言范围。
(2)偷换概念
命题者设计试题时往往把原文的概念偷换成另一个不同的概念。望文生义是造成错误的主要原因。
(3)正误并存
在干扰项中,某个句子或词语是正确的,其他分句或词语是错误的或表达不全面,正误并存,命题者常会借此以假乱真。
典例分析
典例一
（2023·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 dirty 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.
The task John set for himself was to remove harmful substances from some sludge ( 污泥). First, he
constructed a series of clear fiberglass tanks connected to each other. Then he went around to local ponds and
streams and brought back some plants and animals. He placed them in the tanks and waited. Little by little, these
different kinds of life got used to one another and formed their own ecosystem. After a few weeks, John added the
sludge.
He was amazed at the results. The plants and animals in the eco-machine took the sludge as food and began to
eat it! Within weeks, it had all been digested, and all that was left was pure water.
Over the years, John has taken on many big jobs. He developed a greenhouse — like facility that treated
sewage (污水) from 1,600 homes in South Burlington. He also designed an eco-machine to clean canal water in
Fuzhou, a city in southeast China.
“Ecological design” is the name John gives to what he does. “Life on Earth is kind of a box of spare parts for
the inventor,” he says. “You put organisms in new relationships and observe what’s happening. Then you let these
new systems develop their own ways to self-repair.”
1．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.
2．Why did John put the sludge into the tanks?
A．To feed the animals. B．To build an ecosystem.
C．To protect the plants. D．To test the eco-machine.

1.（2023·江苏·统考模拟预测）A vast majority of people usually argue that cycling can make a significant
contribution to our world. In reality, there is a gap between desired and actual numbers. In Germany, for instance,
only 20% of the everyday short-distance trips are covered by bicycle. When enquiring about the causes, researchers
found one point repeatedly tops the list: the perceived or potential risk on the bike routes used. Increasing the share
of cycling trips thus depends crucially on well-developed bike paths.
However, designing efficient bike path networks is a complex task that involves balancing a variety of
limitations while meeting overall demand. In addition, many districts are confronted with a shortage of funds
available for improving the infrastructure. Researchers propose a new approach to generating efficient bike path
networks. This considers demand distribution and the route option of cyclists based on preferences for secure
outings. Typically, minimizing the travel distance is far from the solely goal. Aspects such as attractiveness of a
route are also taken into account.
Under real conditions, a bike path network is created by constantly adding bike paths to more streets. This
time, researchers start with an ideal, complex network, in which all streets in a city are equipped with a bike path.
In a virtual process, they gradually remove less used bike path sections from this network. The route selection of
cyclists is continuously updated. Thus, a series of bike path networks is created and is always adapted to the current
usage. Each stage of it corresponds to a variant that could be carried out with less financial support.
“We illustrate the applicability of this demand-driven planning for crowded urban areas of Dresden and
Hamburg,” explains researcher Christoph Steinacker. “We are approaching a real-life issue here using the theoretic
toolbox of network dynamics and compare efficient bike path networks under different conditions.”
1．Why do people rarely cycle?
A．They think of cycling as inefficient. B．They usually take long-distance trips.
C．They’re concerned about the security. D．They’re unable to find special bike roads.
2．What is a challenge for good bike path networks?
A．Tight budgets. B．Complex routes.
C．Maximized travel distance. D．Decreasing cycling demand.
3．What can be learned about the planning put forward by researchers?
A．It will be updated once in a while. B．It is contrary to the real-life design.
C．It ensures every street has a bike path. D．It serves as a model for other districts.
4．Which of the following is the best title for the text?A．Good Planning Gets the Bike Rolling B．A good Network Benefits More People
C．Cycling Paths Change Crowded Urban Areas D．A New Concept Contributes to a Better World
2.（2023·浙江温州·统考一模）Five-year-old Mustafa is smiling for the first time in ages. She did not receive a
new toy or her favorite candy; rather, she got a wig (假发).
Mustafa had to go through painful procedures after being diagnosed (诊断) with cancer at an early age. Her
father expressed her sadness when she lost her hair after months of chemotherapy (化疗). “She saw children her
age jumping in playgrounds and spending hours styling their hair, while she couldn’t. Losing her hair made her
hopeless, negatively impacting her response to treatment,” the girl’s father said.
Coming from a less fortunate family, Mustafa now sits in a humble hairdresser’s in Cairo, sliding her fingers
through her new long hair as she looks in the mirror with fresh enthusiasm. Behind that smile and renewed
confidence is Salam, from Egypt, who has been personally funding and designing free wigs for children with
cancer to give them power to defeat their illness.
Salam took up his mission when he saw a viral video on social media of a young cancer patient who was
excited at receiving a new wig. It was the moment when he decided to provide free wigs to children with cancer to
lift up their spirits. “Many families can barely afford expensive cancer treatment costs, let alone costly cosmetic (美
容) services that can play a huge role in restoring children’s confidence and giving them strength to continue their
treatment,” said Salam.
As part of the self-funded initiative, Salam purchases the necessary requirements to make a wig, while his
father helps design hairstyles to serve different children. So far, Salam has helped over 15 children walk out of his
shop empowered with big smiles.
Despite the several challenges, Salam said making wigs gives him as much happiness as it does for his young
customers. “Children need the emotional and moral support to go through this tough illness.” He added, “Losing
their hair drives them to withdraw into themselves out of fear and embarrassment. I cannot help in their treatment,
but I can help them get through it.”
5．Why are a toy and candy mentioned in paragraph 1?
A．To suggest the girl’s age.
B．To imply a serious illness.
C．To show the shortage of toys.
D．To highlight the value of the wig.
6．What can be learned from the father’s words?
A．Hair style matters much.
B．Sports benefit Mustafa.
C．Hair loss depressed Mustafa.
D．Mustafa’s treatment failed.
7．What led to Salam’s decision on the mission?
A．His sympathy.
B．Family support.C．Govemment fund.
D．Mustafa’s enthusiasm.
8．What kind of person is Salam according to the passage?
A．Cautious and creative. B．Inspiring and talented.
C．Caring and determined. D．Ambitious and patient.
3.（2023·浙江金华·校联考一模）The romantic Rhine, which flows more than 700 miles from Switzerland
to the North Sea, is one of the most popular cruising(巡游) rivers in Europe, with many options available. Take a

4.（2023·浙江温州·统考一模）In 1970s, a psychologist named J. P. Guilford conducted a famous study of
creativity known as the nine-dot puzzle (九点谜题). He challenged research subjects to connect all nine dots using
just four straight lines without lifting their pencils from the page. All the participants limited the possible solutions
to those within the imaginary square. Only 20 percent managed to break out of the confinement (束缚) and
continue their lines in the white space surrounding the dots.
The fact that 80 percent of the participants were effectively blinded by the boundaries of the square led
Guilford to jump to the sweeping conclusion that creativity requires you to go outside the box. The idea went viral.
Overnight, it seemed that creativity experts everywhere were teaching managers how to think outside the box. The
concept enjoyed such strong popularity that no one bothered to check the facts. No one, that is, before two different
research teams-Clarke Burnham with Kenneth Davis, and Joseph Alba with Robert Weisberg-ran another
experiment.
Both teams followed the same way of dividing participants into two groups. The first group was given the
same instructions as the participants in Guilford’s experiment. The second group was told that the solution required
the lines to be drawn outside the imaginary box. Guess what? Only 25 percent solved the puzzle. In statistical
terms, this 5 percent improvement is insignificant as this could be called sampling error.
Let’s look a little more closely at the surprising result. Solving this problem requires people to literally think
outside the box. Yet participants’ performance was not improved even when they were given specific instructions to
do so. That is, direct and clear instructions to think outside the box did not help. That this advice is useless should
effectively have killed off the much widely spread — and therefore, much more dangerous — metaphor (比喻) that
out-of-the-box thinking boosts creativity. After all, with one simple yet brilliant experiment, researchers had proven
that the conceptual link between thinking outside the box and creativity was a misunderstanding.
12．What did the nine-dot puzzle study focus on?
A．Visual perception.
B．Thinking patterns.
C．Practical experience.
D．Theoretical knowledge.
13．Why did the two research teams run the follow-up experiment?
A．To test the catchy concept.
B．To contradict the initial idea.
C．To collect supporting evidence
D．To identify the underlying logic.
14．Which of the following best describes the follow-up experiment?
A．Groundless. B．Inspiring. C．Fruitless. D．Revealing.
15．Which is the best title for the passage?A．Puzzle Solving: A Key To Creativity
B．Thinking Outside the Box: A Misguided Idea
C．Nine-Dot Puzzle: A Magic Test
D．Creative Thinking: We Fell For The Trap
5.（2023·浙江宁波·统考一模）When driving, Clara-Marina Martinez takes down any unusual behaviour she
sees on the road. She then feeds these into machine-learning algorithms (算法), a form of AI, which are intended to
produce a system reliable enough for a car to drive itself without any disturbance from the driver, and cope with all
situations on the road. But this proving hard to achieve, carmakers choose to scale back many attempts to do so.
Last year, for instance, Uber, a ride-hailing service, sold off its unit developing self-driving cars at a low price.
Autonomous vehicles are boasted as being not just convenient but potentially safer. However, just as people
take time to learn how to drive safely, machines are no exception. The RAND Corporation, an American think-tank,
calculates that to develop a system 20% safer than a human driver, a fleet of 100 self-driving cars would have to
operate 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, and cover 14 billion kilometres. At average road speeds, that would take
about 400 years.
Carmakers such as Porsche therefore accelerate the development process using simulators (模拟器). These
teach software about danger only rarely encountered in reality. Dr Martinez and her colleagues employ “game
engines”, the programs that generate photo realistic images in computer games, to do this. These are used to create
virtual worlds through which the software can drive.
How quickly, if ever, all this will translate into reality remains to be seen. Both regulators and customers will
need to overcome doubt that a software driver really can be safer than human. From Porsche’s point of view,
though, there is one other relevant question. Given that much of the reason for owning a sports car is for owners to
show off what they regard as their driving skills, just how big a market will there be for a version where software
takes those boasting rights away?
16．What do the underlined words “scale back” mean in Paragraph 1?
A．Make B．Overlook. C．Encourage. D．Reduce.
17．The learning process of autonomous vehicles’ safe driving can be described as___________.
A．time-consuming B．fast-paced C．thought-provoking D ． well-
designed
18．What challenge do autonomous vehicles bring to Porsche?
A．Ensuring the pleasure of driving B．Making their sports cars affordable.
C．Removing public doubts about safety. D．Integrating game engines into their vehicles.
19．What can be a suitable title for the text?
A．Porsche: Sports Cars at Risk B．Self-driving Cars: Still Some Way to Go
C．Simulators: The Core of Autonomous Vehicles D．Machine Learning Algorithms: The Arrival of Al
6.（2023·浙江金华·校联考一模）I ask every student I interview for admission to my institution, Pitzer
College, the same question, “What do you look forward to the most in college?” I was astonished and delightedrecently when a student replied, “I look forward to the possibility of failure.” Of course, this is not how most
students respond to the question when sitting before the person who can make decisions about their academic
futures, but this young man took a risk.
“You see, my parents have never let me fail,” he said. “When I want to take a chance at something, they
remind me it’s not a safe route to take. Taking a more demanding course or trying an activity I may not succeed in,
they tell me, will ruin my chances at college admission.”
I wish I could tell you this is an uncommon story, but kids all over the world admit they are under great
pressure to be perfect. When I was traveling in China last fall and asked a Chinese student what she did for fun, she
replied: “I thought I wasn’t supposed to tell you that? I wouldn’t want you to think I am not serious about my
work!”
Students are usually in shock when I laugh and tell them I never expect perfection. Of course, this goes against
everything they’ve been told. How could a dean (院长) of admission at one of America’s most selective institutions
not want the best and the brightest? The reality is, perfection doesn’t exist, and we don’t expect to see it in a college
application. In fact, admission officers tend to question students who present themselves as individuals without
shortcomings.
We get the most excited when we read an application that seems real. It’s so rare to hear stories of defeat. If
their perspectives are of lessons learned, these applicants tend to jump to the top at highly selective colleges. We
believe an error in high school should not define the rest of your life, but how you respond could shape you forever.
20．What can we learn about the student in the first two paragraphs?
A．He is taught not to take risks.
B．He tries to avoid any chance of failure.
C．He cares little about his academic futures
D．He is seldom allowed to take part in activities.
21．Why does the author mention the Chinese student in paragraph 3?
A．To emphasize the importance of hard work.
B．To compare students from different countries.
C．To give an example of the students he favors.
D．To illustrate the widespread stress on students
22．What is probably admission officers’ attitude towards a perfect application?
A．Doubtful. B．Confused. C．Favorable. D．Casual.
23．What is the key to success in college according to the author?
A．A desire for perfection
B．The ability to learn from defeats.
C．The opportunity of making mistakes.
D．An experience of defeat in high school
7.（2023·广东佛山·佛山一中校考二模）When you were at school, were you ever told to stop daydreamingand concentrate? It was easy for your mind to wander if you weren’t interested in what you were learning or if you
had better things to think about. Staying focused can still be a challenge in adult life, but understanding how to do
it, and knowing what is distracting you, can help.
Scientists have looked at what makes us delay and found a number of ways to help us stay in the zone. One of
the most obvious things is eliminating noise. Research by Science Focus magazine found silence is the best for
concentration, or a gentle background hum and coffee shop noise is great! It also found turning off notifications on
your phone, or switching it off altogether, removes a major distraction and helps us focus on the task at hand.
Another possible cure for a short attention span is brain training. Psychologists and neuroscientists are
increasingly interested in our ability to settle down and have looked at what we can change inside our head to make
us concentrate. An article for BBC Future by Caroline Williams says that “Attention Researcher Nilli Lavie of
University College London has found that making a task more visually demanding takes up more processing power
and leaves the brain nothing left to process distractions.” So, keeping your mind busy might be the answer.
There are more practical tips to keeping your mind focused. These include making a list or timetable of the
tasks you have to do, finding a workspace where you’re not tempted to do other things, or chewing some gum! It’s
possible the movement in your mouth occupies parts of the brain that might otherwise get distracted.
But according to Science Focus magazine, distraction isn’t all bad. “If we were always so focused that we
never go distracted, we’d miss potential changes, such as threats, in our environment. Distraction is vital for
survival.”
24．Which of the following is similar to the underlined phrase in paragrapb 2?
A．Concerned. B．Enthusiastic. C．Calm. D．Absorbed.
25．Why does the author suggest keeping our mind busy?
A．To introduce a mental recovery.
B．To explain the cause of distraction.
C．To recommend a kind of intelligence training.
D．To suggest a way to train the brain to concentrate.
26．What is Science Focus magazine’s attitude to distraction?
A．Contradictory. B．All-sided. C．Doubtful. D．Puzzling.
27．Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?
A．How to Stay Focused B．The Harm of Distraction
C．The Research about Distraction D．The Benefits of Keeping Focused
8.（2023·湖北襄阳·襄阳四中校考模拟预测）For years, I rejected this part of myself, until I realized what I
was missing.
I used to be proud of my southern origin. My own voice reflected my family’s past and present, all southern.
While growing up, I began to realize outside of our region, southerners were often dismissed as uncultured and
uneducated, ignorant and narrow-minded. In that awkward stage between teenager and adult, my accent was a
symbol of everything I hated about my life in the rural South.
The process of getting rid of my accent began in high school with Gilmore Girls. After each episode, I’d standbefore a mirror, practicing the characters’ lines in an effort to speak like a “normal” white upper-middle-class girl.
Eventually, I was successful at breaking down my tongue and rebuilding it. Every time I was asked where I was
from, I would say “near Memphis” or make an ambiguous statement about my country background.
Now I’m living in a big city with a respectable job downtown. Every step I walk from the train station to the
office seems victorious. However, I’ve been pretending and I’m fed up with it. Occasionally my old self escapes
from my lips when encouraged by an extra glass of whiskey, but I unconsciously go back to the safety of the
unaccented minutes later, making me feel as if I’m a fraud — a girl who forgets where she comes from. Then
gradually I’ve become kind of homesick that leads me to put on the old Highwomen record and dance around,
singing with all the accent s I’ve got left.
My grandmother used to tell me, “Girl, don’t you forget where you come from?” Memories are fading by time
but this one has remained impressed on my mind. So, I decide to move back. I’m still searching for what it means
to be southern, but now I’m doing it with all the “y’alls”, and “ain’ts” I’ve kept back for so long.
28．Why did the author decide to get rid of her southern accent?
A．Because she hated the southern rural life.B．Because it reflected her shameful past.
C．Because it made her laughed at by others. D．Because she was misled by prejudice.
29．What’s the main idea of Paragraph 3?
A．The author learnt the language well. B．The author managed to rebuild her accent.
C．The author made a white upper class girl. D．The author finally succeeded in big cities.
30．What contributed most to the author’s return to her southern accent?
A．Her grandmother’s words. B．Her homesickness.
C．Her boredom of pretending. D．Her over-drinking.
31．What message does the passage want to convey?
A．Everyone has his dark secret. B．God helps those who help themselves.
C．There’s always a silver lining in the cloud. D．You should never compromise who you are.
9.（2023·山东·德州市第一中学校联考模拟预测）Damon Carson calls himself a matchmaker (媒人) of the
never-ending waste of American society, trying not to pair people with people, but things with people.
In the late 1990s, Carson was on break from business school in Vail, Colorado, when he discovered the vast
world of waste. He began thinking about creating a secondhand store that would sell old materials and keep them
out of being wasted. As a result, in 2010, his company, Repurposed Materials appeared.
For nearly ten years, his company, Repurposed Materials, has not been looking to recycle the waste he gets —
breaking it down to make something new — but rather finding new homes for thrown-away goods in their original
forms.
Carson, a husband and father of three adult children, is far from wasteful. Frugal is how he describes himself.
The clothes he’s wearing all came from a charity shop; his truck was bought with 290, 000 kilometers driven.
“Why break something down, why melt something down, if it still has value?” he asks. An old oil-field pipe
might be melted down and turned into a car bumper, but it still takes an amount of power to finish the complete
change. Why not leave it as a steel pipe? Why not turn it into a fence post on a farm? The only cost is transport.
American industrial facilities create and throw about 7.6 billion tons of unwanted industrial materials everyyear. For the moment, Carson’s unique business finds new lives for millions of kilograms of industrial waste every
year.
32．What is paragraph two mainly about?
A．Carson’s school lessons.
B．Carson’s journey to Colorado.
C．The start of Carson’s business.
D．The serious waste of materials.
33．What is Repurposed Materials aimed at?
A．Marketing wastes to people in need.
B．Breaking down the wasted goods.
C．Manufacturing industrial products.
D．Recycling the thrown-away stuffs.
34．How does Carson describe his life?
A．Economical. B．Poetic. C．Tough. D．Risky.
35．What can we learn from Carson?
A．Well began, half done.
B．Innovative thinking counts.
C．One is never too old to learn.
D．Hard work will pay back.
10.（2023·山东·德州市第一中学校联考模拟预测）Many scholars agree that a meaningful existence comes
down to three factors: the coherence of one’s life, the possession of clear long-term goals and the belief that one’s
life matters. But we believe there is another element to consider.
Imagine the first butterfly you stop to admire after a long winter or the scenery atop a hill after a fresh hike.
Sometimes existence delivers us small moments of beauty. When people are open to appreciating such experiences,
these moments may enhance how they view their life. We call this element experiential appreciation, an ability to
detect and admire life’s inner beauty as events happen.
To better understand this appreciation, we conducted a series of studies involving over 3,000 participants.
Initially, we had participants rate their coping strategies to relieve their stress. Those managing stress by focusing
on their appreciation for life’s beauty reported experiencing life as highly meaningful. In the follow-ups, we asked
them to rate the extent to which they agreed with various statements, such as “I have a great appreciation for the
beauty of life” and other statements related to coherence, purpose, existential mattering. Our results showed that the
more people indicated that they were “appreciating life”, the more they felt their existence valuable. In the
subsequent experiment, we further explored the phenomenon by asking participants to watch an awe-inspiring
video, they also reported having a greater sense of experiential appreciation and meaning in life in these moments,
compared with those watching more neutral videos.
The final results confirmed our original theory: appreciating small things can make life feel more meaningful.But applying that insight can be difficult. Our modern, fast-paced, project-oriented lifestyles fill the day with
targets. We are on the go, attempting to maximize our output. This makes it easy to miss what is happening right
now. Yet life happens in the present moment. We should slow down, let life surprise us and embrace the
significance every day.
36．What is the author’s belief in meaningful life?
A．Owning the coherence of life.
B．Setting a long-term career goal.
C．Valuing what matters just to us.
D．Enjoying present beauty of life.
