142、最常用的方法。事实细节题主要考查对某句话或某几句话的理解，可根据题干内容从原文中找到相关的句子，然后进行比较和分析，便可确定最佳答案。“题干定位法”分为三步：第一步：先通过题干信息来选择定位词。定位词主要是题干中的名词、动词和数词，即问题的核心信息。第二步：在原文中查找定位词或定位词的近义词，找出相关的句子。第三步：分析这些句子和选项，得出正确答案。如：2015全国B片段Mind the colors.Research suggests warm colors fuel our appetites.In one study，people who ate meals in a blue room
143、 consumed 33 percent less than those in a yellow or red room.Warm colors like yellow make food appear more appetizing，while cold colors make us feel less hungry.So when its time to repaint，go blue.6.A home environment in blue can help people .A.digest food better B.reduce food intakeC.burn more calo
144、ries D.regain their appetites答案B解析细节理解题。题干中的A home environment in blue对应文章中的people who ate meals in a blue room，可知在蓝色的房间内人吃的相对较少。2.语意转换题断章取义法在高考试题中，细节理解题已由过去简单的对号入座直接答题转向通过语句的同义或反义转换来考查学生对英语语言的理解能力。解答这类题可用“断章取义法”，即带着问题，有针对性地扫读短文，迅速锁定相关词句，然后寻找相关的同义或反义表述。如：2015浙江A片段From the very beginning of school we
