Question

【題目】Once a week, Neil went grocery shopping. He always made a list, but he always forgot to put one or more things on the list. This used to anger him, but now he just accepted it. You’re not as sharp as you used to be, he told himself.

It was Friday-shopping day. He went to the $99 Store. Sometimes they had a lot of fresh produce, sometimes they didn’t. He got lucky. There were fresh packaged broccoli, carrots, onions, and squash. Also, packages of peaches, plums, and apples. He easily had enough produce to last all week, if it didn’t go bad first. The fruit and vegetables alone filled up four plastic bags. Four other bags contained other items that were on Neil’s list.

He drove to Albertson’s, which sold milk by the gallon (加侖) and at cheaper prices than the $99 Store. Interestingly, the price of milk had got higher in the last month. He used to buy 2 gallons of nonfat milk for $3.59. Now he was paying $4.69. Yet, the news media reports a 2-cent increase in gasoline (汽油) prices. That’s all over the news.

He parked his car in the carport and opened the trunk. He managed, as usual, to put all 10 plastic bags into his hands and take them upstairs.

“What a heavy shopping it is,” he thought. And then he told himself: if you think it’s too heavy now, wait till you can’t drive. Wait till you can’t even walk up the stairs. How are you going to get your food then? The older you get, he told himself, the more you’d better thank the fact that you can still do all these boring chores and housework.

本文介紹了尼爾每周去一次雜貨店購物。他總是列一個清單，但總是忘了把一件或多件東西放在清單上。那是星期五的購物日。他去了價值99美元的商店。今天他很幸運。有新鮮包裝的花椰菜、胡蘿卜、洋蔥和南瓜。還有一包桃子、李子和蘋果。他開車去了阿爾伯森超市，那里的牛奶是按加侖出售的，而且價格比99美元的商店便宜。他告訴自己，你年紀越大，你就越應該感謝這樣一個事實：你仍然可以做所有這些無聊的家務。

用細節(jié)定位法來做細節(jié)理解題。

細節(jié)理解題屬直接解答性問題，是閱讀理解題中最簡單的一種，多數(shù)屬中低難度的送分題。但由于中考所占的比例很大，應特別引起注意。

事實和細節(jié)題的命題特點是：把某詞語、某個句子或某具體事實用不同于原文的另一方式或句型表達，即同義改寫。解答這類題的竅門是：A)注意掌握英語的多種表達法；B）正確分析詞語在句中的作用；C）熟練運用英語的句型轉換；D）讀懂題干所提出的問題，并準確地找到文中涉及該問題的句子。

做細節(jié)題具體方法與步驟如下：

略讀材料，概了解原文，掌握中心或主旨。

按文章的體裁，作者寫作的組織模式及有關的信息詞，如for example，first，second…等預測應該到何處尋找自己所需要的事實。

將自己精力放在尋找你所需要的細節(jié)上，快速通篇跳讀，眼睛自左至右，自上而下呈Z形掃視，直到找到細節(jié)出處，待找到含細節(jié)句子時，放慢速度，仔細核對比較內容，直至找到答案。
