Question

Spielberg was enrolled at California State University in 1965, but dropped out three years later to seek his filmmaking career.

After re-enrolling in 2001, he studied hard in his office or at home, though he didn't attend general classes. He worked on independent projects and talked with professors to receive his bachelor's degree in film and electronic arts. He said happily after attending the graduation ceremony in cap and gown, “I wanted to do this for many years as a ‘thank you’ to my parents for giving me the opportunity for an education and a career, and as personal note for my own family, and young people everywhere, about the importance of achieving their college education goals.” And he added, “ But I hope they get there quicker than I did.”

After leaving school, Spielberg worked in television through the early 1970s, and made the great thriller “Jaws”. He quickly became one of the most commercially successful filmmakers in history with such hits as “Jurassic Park” and “Saving Private Ryan”. He founded the company DreamWorks with his friends.

文章细节的理解可以细化为：（1）一一对应型。答案与题目在表达形式和意义上直接吻合，一一对应，一目了然。属于浅层次的阅读试题，分数比例较少。（2）语言转述型。这是一类间接事实细节题，答案与题目在意义上从分运用了词义之间的转述关系，即正确选项是原文有关词语和句子的另类表达。属于中档难度题，分数比例较大。（3）语意理解型。这是一类深层事实细节理解题，答案与题目之间存在着一定的逻辑联系，这种联系需要建立在事实的基础上通过上、下文来进行判断、分析、归纳和整合，才能得出正确答案。属于较高难度的事实细节题。（4）是非辨别型。这是一类综合事实细节题，出题形式常常是“三正一误”(三项正确，只有一项不符合原文内容)或“三误一正”（三项错误，只有一项符合原文内容)。（5）事实排序型。这是一类运用多项事实进行排序的事实细节题，要求根据动作发生的先后顺序、时间顺序或者句子之间的逻辑关系，找出时间发生，发展的正确顺序。

A. 细节理解题主要设问的方式有：

（1）Which of the following statements is True (Not True)?

（2）Which of the questions has not been mentioned (or discussed) in the passage?

（3）What is the reason that …?

（4）What do we know about…?

（5）How did the people know …?

（6）Why was … so important to …?

B. 细节理解题主要的答题策略有：

（1）细心审题，直接就题找答案。解答此类试题时，不必通篇细看原文，而应采取“带着问题找答案”的方法，先从问题中抓住关键性词语（题眼），然后以此为线索，运用略读及查读的技巧快速在文章中寻找与此问题相关的：段落、语句，仔细品味，对照比较，确定答案。

如小题1，这个题可以从文中直接找到相关的信息，抓住“dropped out”并且掌握“to seek his filmmaking career.”的意思就可得到答案。

（2）变通理解，间接转述找答案。细节理解题通常采用词语和句型转换的形式来取代原文中的表述，命题者在出这类题时惯用“偷梁换柱、张冠李戴”的手法来迷惑考生，即对原句细微处做改动，截取原文词语或结构进行改造，因果倒置，把A的观点说成B的观点等。所以正确理解题干和信息句的意义是关键。

如小题2，本题没有表述答案的原词原句，原文中的“the importance”被答案中的“significance”替代了，因此正确的理解题干和信息句很关键。

（3）多点归纳，综合事实找答案。细节理解题有时考查的并不是单一的信息，而是多处信息的整合。解答此类“综合”信息细节题时，一定要全面捕捉相关信息，进行综合分析、归纳，切忌根据“一面之词”草率地作出结论。
