細節處的奧秒：打造火眼金睛

細節判斷題需要你們眼疾手快、心靈手巧，它不需要你的腦袋瓜拐很多彎兒，你只需要有一雙火眼金睛。

所以做細節判斷題的時候，慣用絕招是“狂掃”，掃了第一遍，沒找著！那就來掃第二遍！怎么？還是沒有？再掃一遍，準有！掃到第三遍還沒有的話……你就要再仔細斟酌這是不是細節判斷題了。當然啦，要達到第一遍就找得到正確答案的境界，就得多練，掐著時間多練——這可是送分的題哪！

這種題型一般包括：排列時間順序，找原因找結果找例子，讀數字讀圖表，等等。

O. Henry was a pen name used by an American writer of short stories. His real name was William Sydney Porter. He was born in North Carolina in 1862. As a young boy he lived an exciting life. He did not go to school for very long， but he managed to teach himself everything he needed to know. When he was about 20 years old， O. Henry went to Texas， where he tried different jobs. He first worked on a newspaper， and then had a job in a bank， when some money went missing from the bank O. Henry was believed to have stolen it. Because of that， he was sent to prison.

The flying fox is not a fox at all. It is an extra large bat that has got a fox’s head， and that feeds on fruit instead of insects（昆蟲）. Like all bats， flying foxes hang themselves by their toes when at rest， and travel in great crowds when out flying. A group will live in one spot for years. Sometimes several hundred of them occupy（占據）a single tree. As they return to the tree toward sunrise， they quarrel among themselves and fight for the best places until long after daylight.

Flying foxes have babies once a year， giving birth to only one at a time. At first the mother has to carry the baby on her breast wherever she goes. Later she leaves it hanging up， and brings back food for it to eat. Sometimes a baby bat falls down to the ground and squeaks（尖叫）for help. Then the older ones swoop（俯沖）down and try to pick it up. If they fail to do so， it will die. Often hundreds of dead baby bats can be found lying on the ground at the foot of a tree.

Richard Williams works hard. He’s clever， careful， and fast. His work is dangerous. Richard thinks of himself as a professional—a professional thief.

Yesterday was a typical day. Richard dressed in a business suit， took his briefcase（手提箱）， and drove to a town about ten miles from his home. He parked his car in a busy area， and then began to walk along the street. No one looked at him. He was another businessman walking to work.

At 8：05， Richard saw what he wanted. A man was leaving his house. Richard walked around the block again. At 8：10， he watched a woman leave the same house. After she left， Richard worked quickly. He walked to the side of the house and stood behind a tree. He took a screwdriver（螺絲刀）out of his briefcase and quickly opened the window and climbed in. First， he looked through the desk in the living room. He found ＄200 in cash（現金）. In the dining room， he put the silverware（銀器）into his briefcase. The next stop was the bedroom. Richard stole a diamond ring and an emerald（祖母綠寶石）necklace. Richard passed a color TV， a stereo（音響）， and a camera， but he didn’t touch them. Everything had to fit into his briefcase. In less than five minutes， Richard climbed back out the window. He looked around carefully， then began his walk down the street again. No one looked at him.

2． A。最后一句話點出答案。“People liked his stories， because simple as the tales were， they would finish with a sudden change at the end， to the reader’s surprise.”

3． D。“He first worked on a newspaper， and then had a job in a bank， when some money went missing from the bank O. Henry was believed to have stolen it. Because of that， he was sent to prison.” 這句話點出答案。注意其中that承前啟后的作用。

4． D。A選項錯，可見文中“He did not go to school for very long...”。而B選項未在文中體現，C選項并不是題干before he began writing所指。故選D。

5． C。倒數第二句“He wrote mostly about New York and the life of the poor there.”點出答案。

B

1． D。第二句“Like all bats， flying foxes hang themselves by their toes when at rest， and travel in great crowds when out flying.”

2． D。最后一句 “Often hundreds of dead baby bats can be found lying on the ground at the foot of a tree.”

3． C。其實這道題根據常識也可以判斷，但是在文章中線索在第一段最后一句“As they return to the tree toward sunrise， they quarrel among themselves and fight for the best places until long after daylight.”

4． A。同上。

5． C。在“Sometimes a baby bat falls down to the ground and squeaks for help.”這一句有具體描述。
