Question

Climbing the corporate ladder (晋升) during my 32 years at Southern Bell (now AT&T) never appealed much to me. But climbing telephone poles? Now that's a whole different story.

In 1978, I became the first female lineman in Columbus, Georgia.  I really enjoyed the work, and most of the men accepted me because I worked hard at it.  I think that at first, they didn't think I could do it. But I got right in there and proved myself.

I was a lineman for about three years. Then l went on to work at other outdoor jobs at the company before l retired in 1997.

I decided to become a lineman because I wanted to work outdoors. I was a tomboy (假小子) as a child and even built my own tree house, so you could say I had a little experience. My husband, William, encouraged me to give the job a try. After work, I liked to drive around town and show him the wires I'd spliced (加固) that day.

People were surprised to see a female lineman. They'd say, “Look, that's a woman up that pole." One day I heard a man say, “Oh, look, there's a telephone man-woman!" Safety belts and hooks minimized the risk of falling, but concentration was essential.  Sometimes I felt a little nervous,  but the guys told me I was less likely to fall if I wasn't too confident. It helped that I was strong, because the cables and equipment are heavy. I'm not sure every woman could've done what I did. 1 took a lot of pride in it.

【名师点睛】

本文中考查细节题较多，的确细节题也是高考中考查最多的题型。主要注意以下几处：

1、列举信息处常考。

文章中first…second, to begin with, in addition, on one hand, on the other hand等并列关系出现的地方，常会要求考生从所列的内容中，选择符合题干要求的选项。

2、举列与打比方之处常考。

考生要对那些引出例子或比喻的标志词，如as, such as, for example, for instance等加以注意，因为这些词是作者为使自己的观点更具说服力而用来引出具体事例的，这些事例就是常考的细节处。

3、指示代词出现处常考。

这类考题常用来考查学生是否真正了解上下文句子之间的逻辑关系。

4、引用人物论断处常考。

作者为正确表达自己的观点或使论点更有依据，常会引用某些权威人士的论断或采纳其重要的发现。

5、特殊标点符号后的内容常考。

因为特殊标点符号后的内容往往是对前面内容的进一步解释或说明，同学们注意到这些标点，也就注意到了细节。这些特殊符号包括表示解释的破折号、括号和冒号以及表示引用的引号等。

另外，事实细节题的选项也很有特点：通常正确答案不是照搬的原文；干扰选项则正好相反，有的来自原文信息，但不是题目要求的内容 ；有的符合常识，但不符合原文内容；有的与原句内容极为相似,只是在程度上有些变动；有的与原文大相径庭甚至完全相反；也有的是部分正确或部分错误。
