Question

With all the snow and bitter cold we’ve had this winter, it’s hard to imagine jumping into a large body of water. But not far away, there are plenty of warm places where you can not only splash but swim.

Snorkel the Philippines On the other side of the world, there are some amazing hidden destinations in the Pacific Ocean that offer diving and swimming. The Coral Triangle is named for its vast variety of corals(珊瑚), some 600 different species. And, according to the World Wildlife Fund, the area is home to six of the seven world marine turtle species and more than 2,000 species of fish.

Buddy Dive Resort Bonaire Often referred to as a diver’s paradise(天堂), Bonaire has an average forecast of 82 degrees and sunny year-round. Bonaire is known for “shore diving”, which means you can walk into the water and off you go. There are more than 50 easily accessible dive sites along the west coast. The natural reefs(礁) are full of more than 400 colorful species of fish, sea turtles and coral, as well as several shipwrecks (nowhere else to be seen).

Plunge the Depths of Palau Also in the Western Pacific is the remote island of Palau, an island country also nicknamed “Rainbow’s End” because it’s so far away. You have to fly from Asian areas, like Thailand, India, Vietnam, but it’s worth it. In Palau, divers will find drop-offs, shallow reefs and channels beneath the sea. Reef walls in Palau team with marine life, schools of fish, old growth coral gardens and hidden marine lakes.

It’s Mexico’s largest Caribbean island, largest permanently inhabited island, and Mexico’s third-largest island, and its people mainly live in the town of San Miguel. Easy to reach by plane from the US, Cozumel is known for its massive underwater walls and “drift diving”.

【解析】这是一篇关于旅游攻略的应用文。冬季人们总是报怨没有地方可以潜水或者游泳，作者帮你整理了适合冬季旅游的四个好去处。

1.B

细节理解题――多点归纳，综合事实找答案。第一个地点Snorkel the Philippines（浮潜的菲律宾）“On the other side of the world, there are some amazing hidden destinations in the Pacific Ocean that offer diving and swimming. ”可知提供潜水和游泳。第二个地点Buddy Dive Resort Bonaire Often referred to as a diver’s paradise… Bonaire is known for “shore diving”,…… which means you can walk into the water.这个地方被潜水者的天堂,……博内尔岛被称为“岸潜”，这意味着你可以走到水里去。可知 在Plunge the Depths of Palau（把帕劳的深处）， “In Palau, divers will find drop-offs, shallow reefs and channels beneath the sea. ”。 在帕劳,潜水员将找到落榜，浅层海底珊瑚礁和通道第。第四个地方Greg Deaver（格雷戈迪弗），“the island of Cozumel is a premier warm-weather diving site, ” 科苏梅尔岛是一个超级温暖的天气潜水地点。由以上可归纳出都有潜水。故选B

2.A

细节理解题。――是非辨别型。Plunge the Depths of Palau这段中的also in the Western Pacific is the remote island of Palau,…… because it’s so far away. You have to fly from Asian areas, like Thailand, India, Vietnam,因为偏远，必须经由亚洲地区飞行，比如泰国、印度、越南。可知想去帕劳的深处,你可以经由越南飞行，由此可知A项符合题意。B项文中没有提及。巴迪潜水胜地博内尔岛并非是唯一有珊瑚的，可知B项是错的。格雷戈迪弗一个超级温暖的天气潜水地点，不是最凉的地方，所以D项是错误的。故只有A是正确的。

3.D

推理判断题。最后一段第一句话“Talking of Mexico, the island of Cozumel is a premier warm-weather diving site, with the second largest reef system in the world. ” 谈到墨西哥,Cozumel岛是一个总理温暖的潜水地点,在第二世界上最大的珊瑚礁系统。可知Cozumel是属于墨西哥的。和第三句“Easy to reach by plane from the US, Cozumel is known for its massive underwater walls and “drift diving”.”从美国乘飞机容易到达，科苏梅尔以大规模水下墙壁和“漂移”潜水闻名。根据这两处可推断出Cozumel应该是与美国一样在北美洲的。

【名师点睛】细节理解题常见考查形式及解题方法：

文章主题和中心思想的阐述往往需要大量细节信息的支持，这些细节对于理解全文内容至关重要，同时也是归纳和概括文章中心思想的基础。命题人往往会要求考生根据不同的要求阅读文章，以获得某些特定的信息，或准确地寻求所需的细节，并对细节进行直接或间接辨认和理解。

一、考查方法。文章细节的理解可以细化为：1.直接辨认。答案与题目在表达形式和意义上直接吻合，一一对应。2.间接辩认。有以下4种。（2）语言转述型。这是一类间接事实细节题，运用了词义之间的转述关系，检测学生的复述能力。属于中档难度题，分数比例较大。（3）语意理解型。属于深层事实细节理解题，答案与题目之间有一定的逻辑联系，要通过上、下文来进行判断分析、归纳和整合得出正确答案。检测学生的分析归纳能力。属于较高难度的事实细节题。（4）是非辨别型。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)。检测学生的综合能力。（5）事实排序型。这类要求学生运用多项事实进行排序，根据动作发生的先后时间顺序或者句子之间的逻辑关系，找出正确顺序。主要考查学生的综合能力。

二、细节理解的解题方法

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），并以此为线索，运用略读及查读的技巧快速在文章中寻找重要的细节作出相应的判断，对照比较，确定答案。例如第1小题。

（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。例如第2小题。

（3）多点归纳，综合事实找答案。细节理解题考查有简单的寻找转向多层次细节推理及多处信息的整合。例如第3小题。
