4、排列顺序题

这种试题要求考生根据事件发生的先后顺序和句子之间的逻辑关系，找出事件发生的正确顺序。做这种题时可采用“首尾定位法”，即最先找出第一个事件和最后一个事件，迅速缩小选择范围，从而快速选出正确答案。

[考例]

61.(2009福建卷，B篇) The foreign drivers who break the traffic law and do not pay on the spot are likely to be fined up to _______.

　A. ￡60　　　　 B. ￡300　　　　 C. ￡900　　　　　 D. ￡980

[解析]D。依据文章第一段可知，这种罚款可高达900英镑(Foreign drivers will have to pay on-the-spot fines of up to ￡900 for breaking the traffic law to be carried out next month.)，再依据第二段If they do not have enough cash or a working credit card, their vehicles will be clamped(扣留)until they pay - and they will face an additional fee of ￡80 for getting back their vehicles.可知本题选D，即当场不能交罚款的外国司机罚款的费用是900+ 80=980英镑。

3、数字计算题

数字计算题也是近几年高考中常考的内容，此类试题是在文章中直接表现出来细节事实，有的要经过具体的计算才能够得出正确的答案。具体的计算题可以是对年代的计算、月份的计算或比例的计算等。文章中经常会出现许多数字，它们对解题产生一定的影响。解答此类试题的方法是先来理解文章的大意，然后经过对比、分析、计算等就能够得出正确的答案。

[考例]

57.(2009山东卷，A篇) Which of the following is true of the Hatches?

　 A. They had their children during the Great Depression.

　 B. They left the family farm to live in an old house.

　 C. They gave away their possessions to their neighbors.

　 D. They helped their neighbors to find jobs.

[解析]C。间接信息题。第四段第一句话说Hatch夫妇是在大萧条时期出生的(Children of the Great Depression, Ish and Arlene were known for their habit of saving.)，而不是他们在大萧条时期有了孩子，排除A；第三段提到他们的老房子位于他们家的农场里，B错误；第二段提到他们帮助有困难的邻居们，但未提及帮助他们找工作，D项错误。C项说Hatch 夫妇把他们的钱全都赠给了他们的邻居们，符合文意。

2、间接信息题

做这类题目时，考生需要对原文信息进行加工处理，然后再进行进一步的推理或鉴别，这是介于事实细节题和推理判断题之间的一种题型，对考生来说有一定难度。

[考例]

46.(2009陕西卷，B篇) Edmonds entered the world of politics first as ________.

　A. news secretary for a congressman

　 B. a speechwriter for President Clinton

　C. news secretary in the White House

　 D. a speechwriter for Secretary Donna Shalala

[解析]A。直接信息题。快速查找题干中的关键词the world of politics，在第三段第二句话找到相关信息：He joined the world of politics as news secretary for his congressman (国会议员) from Baltimore During Bill Clinton’s presidency… 因此答案为A。

61.(2009湖南卷，B篇) How long does it take the battery to charge up an iPhone?

A. 15 minutes. 　 B. 30 minutes.　　　 　　 C. 1.5 hours.　 D. 3 hours.

[解析]A。直接信息题。快速查找题干中的关键词How long，charge up，iPhone，由第一段第一句Just plug RichardSolo 1800 into your iPhone once or twice a day, for fifteen minutes, and keep your iPhone charged up.可以得出答案为A。

5、文不对题。这类题最不容易辨别，选项中的描述与原文完全一致，确属原文中的一个细节，这时要回到题干，看该选项是否能回答题干所提的问题。

下面结合最新高考试题，对细节题的不同类型加以解读。

4、偷换概念。把原来做该事的“张三”换成“李四”，所述细节确实与原文一致，一不小心就会误选。
