(2)細節題解題方法

例:
Throughout this long, tense election, everyone has focused on the presidential candidates and how they’ll change America. Rightly so. But selfishly, I’m more fascinated by Michelle Obama and what she might be able to do, not just for this country, but for me as an African-American woman. As the potential First Lady, she would have the world’s attention. And that means that for the first timepeople will have a chance to get up close and personal with the type of African-American woman they so rarely see.
57. Why does Michelle Obama hold a strong fascination for the author?
A. She serves as a role model for African women.
B. She possesses many admirable qualities becoming a First Lady.
C. She will present to the world a new image of African-American women.
D. She will pay closer attention to the interests of African-American women.
【答案】C
【解析】細節歸納。由第2句可知,作者尤其對Michelle Obama能為身為非裔美國婦女的自己做什么而感興趣(but for me as an African-American woman),而接下來的兩句解釋了作者之所以這么感興趣的原因:Michelle Obama將會讓人們第一次有機會靠近和接觸他們極少見到的非裔美國女性,也就是她將向世界展現出非裔美國婦女的一種新形象,故答案為C。
【誤區排除】
A. 她成為非裔美國婦女的偶像——文中說的是她將代表她們向世界展現新形象,而不是成為她們的榜樣;所以這里千萬不要加入主觀意識。
B. 她身上有許多成為第一夫人的優秀品質——文中未提及C. 她將向世界展現出非裔美國婦女的一種新形象。
D. 她會密切關注非裔美國婦女的利益——文中未提及做題時間!
As we have seen, the focus of medical care in our society has been shifting from curing disease to preventing disease —— especially in terms of changing our many unhealthy behaviors, such as poor eating habits, smoking, and failure to exercise. The line of thought involved in this shift can be pursued further. Imagine a person who is about the right weight , but does not eat very nutritious(有營養的) foods, who feels OK but exercises only occasionally, who goes to work every day, but is not an outstanding worker, who drinks a few beers at home most nights but does not drive while drunk , and who has no chest pains or abnormal blood counts, but sleeps a lot and often feels tired. This person is not ill. He may not even be at risk for any particular disease. But we can imagine that this person could be a lot healthier.
The field of medicine has not traditionally distinguished between someone who is merely not ill and someone who is in excellent health and pays attention to the body’s special needs. Both types have simply been called well. In recent years, however, some health specialists have begun to apply the terms well and wellness only to those who are actively striving to maintain and improve their health. People who are well are concerned with nutrition and exercise and they make a point of monitoring their body‘s condition. Most important, perhaps, people who are well take active responsibility for all matters related to their health. Even people who have a physical disease or handicap (缺陷) may be well, in this new sense, if they make an effort to maintain the best possible health they can in the face of their physical limitations. Wellness may perhaps best be viewed not as a state that people can achieve, but as an ideal that people can strive for. People who are well are likely to be better able to resist disease and to fight disease when it strikes. And by focusing attention on healthy ways of living, the concept of wellness can have a beneficial impact on the ways in which people face the challenges of daily life.

【答案】1. C 2. D
【解析】
1. 題干中的medical care is placing more stress on和原文第一段中的the focus of medical care細節一致。
而在第一段第一句As we have seen, the focus of medical care in our society has been shifting from curing disease to preventing disease —— especially in terms of changing our many unhealthy behaviors, such as poor eating habits, smoking, and failure to exercise.破折號之后的內容表明,現代醫療保健主要關注的是改掉人們的不良生活習慣。這里考生應對從文中找到所需的細節進行適當歸納。
2. 題干中的traditionally和considered “well” 都能在原文第二段首句The field of medicine has not traditionally distinguished between someone who is merely not ill and someone who is in excellent health and pays attention to the body’s special needs.中找到。
該句提到,傳統醫學把not ill和in excellent health兩種狀態都稱作“well”,由此可知,傳統醫學認為的“well”就是“遠離疾病”,所以,這里要對細節進行適當理解。即要理解excellent health:非常健康,與free from any kind of disease“遠離任何疾病”是同一個意思。
