35、子、段落或全文所提供的事实进行逻辑推理,推断出作者没有提到的或者没有明说的事实或者可能发生的情况。旨在考查考生透过词语的字面意义去理解作者言外之意的能力。细节推理判断题题干中通常含有infer, suggest, imply, conclude, intend等标志性词语。此类题型可采用“信息定位同义替换综合分析”法来解答:1跳读,找到相关信息点(即能够进行推理的依据);2细读,理解相关信息点的字面意义;3分析推理,在理解字面意义的基础上进行符合逻辑的推断,理解作者的言外之意,切勿拿文章中非关键的细节内容作为推理的结论;结合选项,找到与文章信息点所表达意思相近的选项。例如上文第12题属于细节推理判断题,由倒数第二段中的“Online reviews are one of the first things I look at when I am about to buy a new product.”可推知答案,切忌单纯根据字面意思而误选。如B选项中的reviews一词与信息句中的online reviews一致,因此很容易选错。
