根据近几年的高考题来看高考细节理解题的答案的得出通常需要考生对选项进行一定的处理即需要将题目信息与原文相关信息进行语意上的转换两者存在表达上的差异有时需要进行加工或整理方能得出结论。

语义转换题属于中档难度题,分数比例较大。命题者在出此类题时惯用“偷梁换柱、张冠李戴”的方法来迷惑考生,即对原句细微处做改动,截取原文词语或结构进行改造,因果倒置,把A观点说成B观点等。所以正确理解题干和信息句的意义是解题的关键。常见干扰项的特点:(1)将原文内容扩大或缩小。把原文中的限定词去掉或替换,使该选项看似正确,实际上却是错误选项。(2)无中生有。即选项内容是根据主观想象或推测得出结论,而文中并未涉及。(3)偷换概念。把原来做该事的“张三”换成“李四”,而所述细节却与原文一致,一不小心就会误选。(4)文不对题。这类选项最不容易辨别,选项中的描述与原文完全一致,确实属于原文中的一个细节,这时要回到题干,看该选项是否能回答题干所提的问题。(5)符合常识,但不是文章内容。(6)部分正确,部分错误。

细节推断题是推理判断题中比较简单的一类试题,它要求考生根据语篇中具体的内容和信息点,推断出文章中具体的细节,如时间、地点、人物关系、人物身份、事件等。解答此类试题时,一般可根据短文所提供的信息或者借助生活常识进行推理判断。考生只要正确把握文章的内在关系,理解文章的真正含义,就可作出准确的推断。

【特别提醒】对于细节推断题来说根据文章中的关键信息点进行推断是解答此类试题的关键。考生不但要理解文章的字面含义还要运用逻辑判断能力推断出文章更深层的含义。同时还要根据文章内容进行推断不能凭空猜测。考生要注意站在文章作者或文中

【特别提醒】
如何解答“心思难猜”的观点态度类推理判断题?
1.一般来说,作者对某一事物的态度往往较为明确,要么支持,要么反对,带中立色彩的词语通常是错误选项,作 者 既 然写文章就不会不关心;
2.正确把握文章字里行间的意思,切勿用自己的观点代替作者的观点;
3.因为作者往往不直接提出自己的态度或立场,而且作者写作时也常带有某种倾向性,所以,考生在读文章时要细心 捕捉表达或暗示情感态度的词语,捕捉那些烘托气氛、表达 情感的语句。
4.要学会区分不同的观点,尤其要善于找出作者的观点。
考生要注意文中出现的直接引语和间接引语,出现的观点一般是当事人的观点,而不是作者的观点。作者的观点一般用in my view,in my opinion,personally, I think,I hold 等引出。

【特别提醒】
对于此类题目我们可以借助下面这些方法来答题:(1)“拆 猜”并用来解决问题:阅读中常常会遇到一些由熟悉的单词派生或合成的新词。此时可以用“拆猜”的方式,先把该词的各种词缀或前后两个合成部分拆开,再结合我们掌握的构词法知识,根据中心词的含义和词缀的含义猜测其意思。(2)根据定义或解释猜词:如果生词后有一个句子(定语从句或同位语从句)或段落来对其下定义,或使用破折号、冒号、分号后的内容和引号、括号中的内容加以解释和定义,那么理解这个句子或段落就可以推断词义。
(3)根据同义词和反义词猜词:在单词所出现的上下文中,有时会出现与之同义或反义的词语或结构,这时考生可从熟悉的词语中推测其含义。(4)根据因果关系进行猜词:该方法是根据前后的因果关系来推断某个生词或短语的意思。可由表示原因的句意推测出表示结果的句子中的某个生词或短语的意思;也可由表示结果的句意推测出表示原因的句子中的某个生词或短语的意思。(5)根据语义转折猜词:有时作者为了增强表达效果,在文章中会用一些表示转折意思的连词、副词或短语,如: though,although,but,yet,instead, however,while,rather than 等,考生可以根据转折的语境猜测词义。

话题:家庭团结
in unity (团结). To show this, is lesson about family unity stayed with the daughters as they grew up.
Helene An and her family own a large restaurant business in California. However, when Helene and her husband Danny left their home in Vietnam in 1975, they didn't have much money. They moved their family to San Francisco. There they joined Danny's mother, Diana, who owned a small Italian sandwich shop. Soon afterwards, Helene and Diana changed the sandwich shop into a small Vietnamese restaurant. The five daughters helped in the restaurant when they were young. However, Helene did not want her daughters to always work in the family business because she thought it was too hard.
Eventually the girls all graduated from college and went away to work for themselves, but one by one, the daughters returned to work in the family business. They opened new restaurants in San Francisco and Los Angeles. Even though family members sometimes disagreed with each other, they worked together to make the business successful. Daughter Elisabeth explains, “Our mother taught us that to succeed we must have unity, and to have unity we must have peace. Without the strength of the family, there is no business.”
Their expanding business became a large corporation in 1996, with three generations of Ans working together. Now the Ans' corporation makes more than $20 million each year. Although they began with a small restaurant, they had big dreams, and they worked together. Now they are a big success.
