题型简介
细节理解题是高考英语阅读理解中最基本的题型，主要考查考生对文章具体信息的理解和提取能力。一般包括直接信息题、直接理解题、间接信息题、数字计算题、排列顺序题、图表图画题等。它要求考生能够读懂文章中的具体细节内容，如事件发生的时间、地点、人物、原因、过程、结果等诸多细节信息。这种题型在阅读理解部分占比较大，是获取高分的基础。
细节理解题的文章体裁多样，包括记叙文、说明文、议论文等。文章内容涉及广泛，如人物传记、科技知识、文化教育、社会现象等诸多领域。
设题类型
直接信息题：直接询问文章中明确提到的具体信息，如 “What time did the train leave?”“Wh is the authr f the bk mentined in the text?” 这些问题的答案可以直接在原文中找到对应的语句。
间接信息题：这类题目需要考生对原文中的信息进行简单的转换或者推理。例如，问题可能是根据文中所描述的人物的行为来推断其态度，或者根据事件发生的先后顺序来推断某个事件的原因。提问方式可能是 “Why did the character make such a decisin?”“What can be inferred abut the situatin frm the descriptin?”
数字计算题：通常涉及文章中的数字信息，如时间、价格、数量等，要求考生进行简单的计算。例如，“If the riginal price f a prduct is $100 and it's n a 20% discunt, hw much des it cst nw?”
排序题：要求考生根据文章内容对事件、步骤等进行排序。比如，“Which f the fllwing is the crrect rder f the prcess described in the text?”
解题思路
定位信息：首先，根据题目中的关键词（如人名、地名、时间、事件等），快速在文章中定位相关段落或者语句。例如，如果题目问的是关于某个科学家的研究成果，就快速找到文中提及该科学家的部分。
仔细阅读：定位到信息后，仔细阅读该部分内容，理解细节信息的含义。注意理解上下文语境，有时候一个单词或者短语的意思需要结合上下文才能准确把握。
对比选项：将选项与原文内容进行逐一对比。对于直接信息题，看选项是否与原文表述一致；对于间接信息题，判断选项是否是对原文信息合理的转换或推理；对于数字计算题，检查计算过程是否正确；对于排序题，核对选项中的顺序是否与原文描述相符。排除与原文不符的选项，从而选出正确答案。
命题方式
考查文章细节理解的测试题的常见问题：
① This article is particularly written fr
② When the writer says … he really means
③ The authr’s attitude t… is that
④ What kind f atmsphere des the writer want t create in this passage?
⑤ The writer regards… as
⑥ The writer’s purpse in writing this stry is ...
题型01 直接信息题

对于直接信息题，可以首先从问题中找到关键词，然后以此为线索，运用略读及查阅的技巧在原文中直接找到明确的信息，往往只考查文章中的个别事实，通常只涉及原文一两句话的信息。也就是说，命题者设置的题目比较直接，理解字面意思即可作答。该题型几乎都可以在文章中直接找到与答案有关的信息，或是其变体，大部分篇幅都属于这类围绕主体展开的细节。

题型03 间接信息题

间接信息题一般无法在文中直接找到明确的信息，因为其答案选项的表述通常不是使用文章的原话，而是使用与文中同义或近义的词语来表达。考生需对原文信息进行加工处理，然后再进一步推理鉴别；做这类题目时，学生需要对原文信息进行加工处理，然后再进行进一步的推理或鉴别，这是介于事实细节题和推理判断题之间的一种题型，对学生来说有一定难度。

In the year 1669, a German trader named Hennig Brand set ut n an unusual quest that wuld lead t ne f the mst fascinating discveries in the histry f chemistry. Brand, driven by the age-ld alchemists’ dream f magically turning base metals int gld, cnducted a series f experiments that wuld frever change ur understanding f elements.
Brand’s jurney began with an assumptin that the key t creating “gld” resided in human urine (尿液). This seemingly strange idea was fueled by the bservatin that urine shared a similar yellw clr with the precius metal. Acting n this belief, Brand cllected an astnishing 5000 liters f urine and allwed it t stand and ferment (发酵).
After weeks f fermentatin, Brand biled the urine dwn t a thick, sticky substance. He then mixed this paste with sand and heated the mixture t an extreme temperature. What emerged frm this prcess was a substance that was entirely new t the wrld f science — a white slid that shne with a sft light in the dark.
Brand named this glwing material “phsphrus,” riginating frm the Greek wrds fr “light bearer.” The discvery f phsphrus was nt just a scientific breakthrugh; it captured the imaginatin f the public and the scientific cmmunity alike. Its ability t give ff light in the darkness was bth fascinating and mysterius.
The implicatins f Brand’s discvery were far-reaching. Phsphrus was nt nly a nvelty but als a substance with practical applicatins. It wuld later becme an essential cmpnent in the prductin f matches, fertilizers, and varius chemicals.
Hennig Brand’s accidental discvery f phsphrus in 1669 was mre than just finding a new element; it marked the end f the era f the perid f magic chemistry and the beginning f mdern chemistry. Brand’s phsphrus, nce sught as a means t wealth, became a crnerstne in the field f science, a clear demnstratin f pwer f curisity and the unexpected paths that can lead t enlightenment.
36. What is the main idea f the passage?
A. The fall f ancient alchemists and the rise f mdern chemists.
B. The accidental discvery f phsphrus and its scientific impact.
C. The imprtance f human urine in scientific experiments.
D. The transfrmatin f base metals int gld thrugh magic.
37. What was Hennig Brand’s initial gal when he started his experiments?
A. T turn human urine int gld.B. T discver a new element.
C. T prduce a glwing substance.D. T refrm mdern chemistry.
38. The underlined wrd “crnerstne” in the last paragraph is clsest in meaning t ________.
A. mysteryB. symblC. bstacleD. fundatin
39. What can be inferred abut Hennig Brand frm the passage?
A. He was a serius chemist wh fllwed established scientific methds.
B. He was a visinary scientist wh predicted the future f chemistry.
C. He was a curius individual willing t explre uncnventinal ideas.
D. He was a wealthy trader with a deep understanding f chemistry.

"Reducing wrk hurs can actually bst prductivity. Studies shw that emplyees with a 4- day wrk week are mre fcused and efficient. With fewer hurs, wrkers spend less time n nn- prductive activities, experiencing less burnut and higher jb satisfactin. The traditinal 40-hur wrk week is utdated;it desn't fit with tday's fast-paced wrk envirnments r mental health needs. Cmpanies implementing shrter weeks have seen up t a 20%increase in prductivity, indicating that quality ften surpasses quantity. "

“Cutting wrk hurs sunds appealing, but it's nt feasible acrss all industries. Sme sectrs, like healthcare and manufacturing, require cnstant cverage. Reducing hurs culd lead t staff shrtages, increased csts, and a heavier wrklad fr remaining emplyees. Nt every jbr persn fits int a reduced-hurs mdel. While there may be prductivity gains in specific cases, generalizing this apprach culd harm verall wrkfrce stability and prfitability. We must cnsider bth ecnmic realities and the varying needs acrss industries. "

"The debate ver shrter wrkweeks has becme a ht tpic, with advcates pinting t mental health and prductivity benefits, while ppnents warn f practical and ecnmic challenges. While the 4-day wrk week wrks fr sme, it may nt be a ne-size-fits-all slutin. A balance between flexible schedules and rganizatinal needs may ultimately ffer the best path frward. "
