Question

What are American high schools like? Well，I'm happy to tell you what I know．

When I started school here，it had already been a week since the schoo1 opened．At this    school，freshmen usually go on a trip for about three days at the beginning of school.    Unfortunately I missed that wonderful trip．which would have been the best time to get to know    my classmates．I was really sad．I wished I’d known about it earlier.

Despite the disappointment，however，I gradually adapted to my new life and schoo1．

There is a space in the basement of the teaching building where students chat and meet each other．As we do not always have the same classrooms and classmates，the school wants us to get to know each other there．Students usually come to school early，sit in that space and have fun．Around the space，there are many lockers for students to leave their books in，so that students do not have to carry a heavy schoolbag everywhere．

It really surprises me that we have almost no textbooks．We only have textbooks for World    History and Algebra and they are big and heavy，like bricks．For other classes，we only need    binders(活页夹)with paper in them．Without textbooks，students learn things freely and actively．For example，my humanities teacher just teaches us what is in her mind at the time．We never know what we will learn．

Another difference between American schools and Chinese schools is that American schools care about students’ morality more than their academic studies．For example，if you do not finish your homework，you will just be asked to do it later，but if you cheat or lie，you will get a warning or even be kicked out．

I think that most students here are good at schoolwork as well，but compared to Chinese   students，they can make learning a more joyful experience．I think we should take the good points from our two different kinds of education to perfect our approach to studying．

关于细节理解题

细节题是针对文中某个细节、某句话或某部分具体内容设置问题，正确答案的根据一定可以在原文中找到，即原文的改写往往成为正确选项。

通常细节题的正确选项有以下特征：

1、对原文句子中的关键词进行替换。把原文中的一些词换成意义相近的词，成为正确选项。

2、词性或者语态的变化。把原文中的一些词变换一下词性，或者改变原文句子的语态，给考生制造障碍。

3、语言简化。把原文中的复杂语言现象进行简化，成为正确答案。

4、正话反说。把原文中的意思反过来表达而成为正确选项（适用于寻找错误选项的题目）。

下面结合最新高考试题，对细节题的不同类型加以解读。

1、直接信息题

对此类题型，考生可以首先从问题中找到关键词，然后以此为线索，运用略读及查阅的技巧在文中迅速寻找这一细节，找到后再把这一部分内容仔细阅读一遍，仔细比较所给选项与文中细节的细微区别，在准确理解细节的前提下，最后确定最佳答案。 比如，细节理解题。根据第二段第三句Unfortunately I missed that wonderful trip．很遗憾我错过了那次美妙的旅行。故选B。

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。比如，细节判断题。根据第四段第一句There is a space in the basement of the teaching building where students chat and meet each other。教学楼的地下室有一个空间，学生可以在那里聊天、会面。第四句Students usually come to school early，sit in that space and have fun．学生们通常很早来到学校，坐在那个空间里，玩乐。故选C。
