考研英语阅读技巧之细节服从主旨

考研英语阅读基本可分为主旨题、

细 节题、

词汇题、

例证题、

态度题、

推断题六大题型，

每种题型都有对应的解题策略。

< br>考生不应该只读懂文章，

还需把握一定的解题策略，

两者 结

合起来才能事半功倍。不过，当两种题型融合在一题当中，发生冲突时，还需把握一定 的原

则，比如：细节服从主旨。

一、细节服从主旨

细节题是阅读中出现最多的题型，

但有时候不是单纯地在考细节，

还需要考生结合

文章主旨去看题。此外，

对于有些题目中的选项来说，有时候设置得比较抽象， 或者是难懂

的长难句，

难解其意，又或者排除两个，

这种时候往往就需要

用到一个最为核心的解题原则，就是“细节服从主旨”。因为细节终究还是局部的，如果与

主旨相违背，哪怕本身并没错，也往往不是正确答案。

二、真题实例：

我们通过一个英语真题实例来看这一原则的具体运用：

Why, then, are virtually all of these critics forgotten? Neville Cardus, who wrote for the

Manchester Guardian from 1917 until shortly before his death in 1975, is now known solely as a

writer of essays on the game of cricket. During his lifetime, though, he was also one of England

’

s

foremost classical-music critics, a stylist so widely admired that his Autobiography (1947) became

a best-seller. He was knighted in 1967, the first music critic to be so honored. Yet only one of his

books is now in print, and his vast body of writings on music is unknown save to specialists. How

is it possible that so celebrated a critic should have slipped into near-total obscurity?

24. What can be learned about Cardus according to the last two paragraphs?

music criticism may not appeal to readers today.

reputation as a music critic has long been in dispute.

style caters largely to modern specialists.

writings fail to follow the amateur tradition.

解析：

根据题目定位大写的人物名字出现在最后一段第二句话，

Nev ille Cardus, who

wrote

for

the

Manchester

Guardian

from

1917

until

shortly

before

his

death

in

1975,

is

now

known solely as a writer of essays on the game of cricket.

句中讲到这个人现在只被知道是一位

散文作家；

而后边一句话

though, he was also one of England

’

s foremost classical-music critics,

说到他还是英 国最有名的古典音乐评论家。

可见文中信息强调的是他不仅是散文作家，

而且

还是评论家，

评论家是强调信息。

而很多同学分不太清句子逻辑关系，

在几个选项中徘徊不

定，这时就可以采用“细节服从主旨”的方法，文章的主题是再说“评论家”，所以我们应

该选择含有

“评论”

相关信息的选项，

由此可以确定为

music criticism may not appeal to
