事實(shí)細(xì)節(jié)題一般是對(duì)文中的時(shí)間﹑地點(diǎn)﹑原因﹑人物﹑事件﹑目的等具體信息進(jìn)行提問(wèn)。這類(lèi)題在高考閱讀各類(lèi)題中占的比例最大，且屬于基礎(chǔ)題，相對(duì)較易得分，所以大家務(wù)必吃下這塊“肥肉”。 解答這類(lèi)題，可用順“藤”摸“瓜”法。

何為“藤”？題干中的關(guān)鍵詞即為“藤”，“瓜”則為閱讀題的答案信息。順“藤”摸“瓜”即根據(jù)題干中的關(guān)鍵詞句到文中去找相同或相近的關(guān)鍵詞句，再順著文章中這些關(guān)鍵詞句從文中找答案。一般來(lái)說(shuō)“瓜”主要在關(guān)鍵詞句的后面，若后面的信息不是“瓜”，我們就往前去摸。文章中的“瓜”與選項(xiàng)中的“瓜”一般以同義表達(dá)或近義表達(dá)形式出現(xiàn)。即原文中的原話(huà)一般會(huì)換成同義或近義表達(dá)出現(xiàn)在選項(xiàng)里。

這種方法特別適用于英語(yǔ)基礎(chǔ)薄弱的同學(xué)，哪怕在閱讀文章上存在障礙，但只要根據(jù)題干中所透露出的關(guān)鍵信息回到原文去找相同或相似的表達(dá)即可。

[例1]（2013年廣東卷） Imagination and fantasy can play an important role in achieving the things we fear. Children know this very well. Fred Epstein，in his book If I Make It to Five，tells a story he heard from one of friends about Tom（藤），a four-year-old boy with a cancer in his back bone. He came through several operations and a lot of pain by mastering his imagination.（瓜）

26. What do we know about Tom？ （藤）

A. He was seriously ill.

B. He was a dishonest boy.

C. He was crazy about magic.

D. He was Dr. Epsteins patient.

解析：題干中的專(zhuān)有名詞Tom可確定為“藤”，通過(guò)尋讀，在原文中找到這根“藤”about Tom，順著這根“藤”往下就可以摸到“瓜”a four-year-old boy with a cancer in his back bone. He came through several operations and a lot of pain by mastering his imagination，此信息與選項(xiàng)中A的說(shuō)法相一致，即為答案。

[例2]（2013年廣東） The day before his third trip to the operating room（藤），Tom was terribly afraid. “Maybe I could go as Superman，”（瓜）he whispered to his mom. Hearing

this，the mother hesitated for a while. She had avoided buying the expensive costume（戲裝），but finally she agreed.

The next day Tom appeared as the powerful Superman（瓜），showing off through the hospital halls and coolly waving his hand to the people greeting him along the way. And Tom， with the strength of his fantasy， successfully made it through the operation.

28. When Tom went for the third operation， he _______.（藤）

A. pretended to be painful B. acted like a superhero

C. appeared in poor spirits D. argued with his mother

解析：題干中的third operation為“藤”，尋讀，在原文中找到這根“藤”his third trip to the operating room，然后順著這根“藤”往下就可以摸到“瓜”Maybe I could go as Superman和The next day Tom appeared as the powerful Superman，此信息與選項(xiàng)B的說(shuō)法一致，即為答案。

[例3]（2014 廣州） As I said， we were at a dinner party. There must have been a dozen other guests， but I broke an important rule of politeness（藤）. I ignored everyone else and talked four hours to the botanist.（瓜）

27. Which of the following does the writer describe as a rule of politeness（藤） at dinner parties？

A. Avoiding discussion about politics and religion.

B. Listening carefully to what another guest says.endprint

C. Arriving and leaving at the appropriate time.

D. Giving attention to all those in attendance.

解析：題干中rule of politeness為“藤”，通過(guò)尋讀，在原文中找到這根“藤”broke an important rule of politeness，順著這根“藤”往下就可以摸到“瓜”I ignored everyone else and talked four hours to the botanist，此信息與選項(xiàng)D的說(shuō)法恰恰相反，結(jié)合前句中的broke，可知作者描述的禮貌規(guī)則是“關(guān)注所有參與的人”，故D正確。
