細節題重在考查考生理解“細節信息和概念性含義”的能力，所以這就要求考生能夠快速定位并準確理解答案出處。而對于細節題的識別，沒有統一的嚴格標準，只要考生能能夠識別出另外五種題型，剩下一種僅包含細節信息、沒有特殊標志詞的則為細節題。判斷完是細節題后，考生可以根據以下三步進行解題。

1.利用題文同序原則進行模糊定位

對于這樣一種大型的正規考試，命題專家們在命制閱讀題目時遵循題文同序原則，也就是說題目的順序與其所對應的答案在文中出現的段落順序是一致的。這就需要考生在拿到一篇文章后，首先標好段落序號，然后根據題目的順序以及題目中所給的的段落信息(如：according to paragraph 4)鎖定答案所在的段落。然而，考研英語中閱讀理解文章的段落是不固定的，我們將文章段落分為多于五段和等于或少于五段兩種情況。如果文章多于五段，在定位時需要跨度大一些，范圍廣一些，可能兩段甚至三段對應一題;如果文章等于或少于五段，這就意味著每段對應一題或半段對應一題。

2.利用題干中關鍵詞進行準確定位

模糊定位還不能精準地幫助大家找到答案出處，這就要求我們進行第二步——利用題干中關鍵詞進行精準定位。如果題干中存在唯一的關鍵詞，那就根據唯一的關鍵詞回到文中定位那一句話就可以了。如果題干中的關鍵詞在文中多次出現，則需要多詞同時運用以定位。然而在鎖定題干關鍵詞時，也并不是漫無目的地亂找，首先去找名詞，再找動詞，其次是形容詞或副詞，而且經常出現同義替換。

例1:Paid and owned media are controlled by marketers promoting their own products. For earned media, such marketers act as the initiator for user’s response. But in some cases, one marketer’s owned media become another marketer’s paid media--for instance, when an e-commerce retailer sells ad space on its Web site. We define such sold media as owned media whose traffic is so strong that other organization place their content or e-commerce engines within that environment. This trend, which we believe it still in its infancy, effectively began with retailers and travel providers such as airlines and hotels and will no doubt go further. Johnson & Johnson, for example, has created BabyCenter, a stand-alone media property that promotes complementary and even competitive products. Besides generating income, the presence of other marketers makes the site seem objective, gives companies opportunities to learn valuable information about the appeal of other companies’ marketing, and may help expand user traffic for all companies concerned.

32. According to the Paragraph 2, sold media feature____.

[A] a safe businesses environment

[B] random competition

[C] stronger user traffic

[D] flexibility in organization

題干中的關鍵詞(組)“sold media”只在第二段的一處出現，可以快速精準定位到句子“We define such sold media as owned media whose traffic is so strong that other organization place their content or e-commerce engines within that environment.”我們就將這種“售出”媒體定義為擁有巨大流量、以致其他機構紛紛前來投放內容或電子商務引擎的自有媒體。理解此句之后，答案就很清晰了，故本題答案為C。

例2：It has not gotten anywhere close to that, and one big reason is sticker shock: Passengers must pay $85 every five years to process their background checks. Since the beginning, this price tag has been PreCheck’s fatal flaw. Upcoming reforms might bring the price to a more reasonable level. But Congress should look into doing so directly, by helping to finance PreCheck enrollment or to cut costs in other ways.

24. One problem with the PreCheck program is .

[A] a dramatic reduction of its scale.

[B] its wrongly-directed implementation.

[C] the government’s reluctance to back it.

[D] an unreasonable price for enrollment.

根據題干關鍵詞“PreCheck”來定位時，發現本段中有兩處提及“PreCheck”，無法實現精準定位，接下來，我們需要利用題干中其他詞匯來輔助定位，題干中還有一個名詞為“problem”，不難發現在倒數第二段的第二句話“this price tag has been the PreCheck’s fatal flaw”中有一個“flaw”，是“problem”的同義替換，提到價格的選項只有D項，因此我們可以確定此題答案為D項。

3. 利用選項中關鍵詞進行準確定位

當題干中沒有關鍵詞來幫助大家實現精準定位時，我們可以嘗試利用選項中關鍵詞去文中一一對應，借助排除法進行解題。

例3:“The first thing needed for innovation is a fascination with wonder,” says Dawna Markova, author of The Open Mind. “But we are taught instead to ‘decide’, just as our president calls himself ‘the Decider’.” She adds, however, that “to decide is to kill off all possibilities but one. A good innovational thinker is always exploring the many other possibilities.”

24. Dawna Markova most probably agree that .

[A] ideas are born of a relaxing mind.

[B] innovativeness could be taught.

[C] decisiveness derives from fantastic ideas.

[D] curiosity activates creative minds.

首先根據題干的關鍵詞人名Dawna Markova可以定位到這個段落，然后我們發現這一段話都是Dawna Markova所說的話，無法實現精準定位來解題，我們可以嘗試利用選項中的關鍵詞去和原文匹配。將四個選項中的關鍵詞帶入原文后，發現A、B、C的表述都和原文不一致，D選項中提到了curiosity,creative minds,而curiosity對應的就是第一句中的wonder,creative minds對應的就是第一句中的innovation,D選項是對這一段首句的同義替換，因此答案為D。
