例一(事實型細節題)According to the first paragraph,peer pressure often emerges as---.對應到第一段的It usually leads to no good--drinking, drugs and casual sex.正確答案為a cause of undesirable behaviors.答案是對線索句的替換和總結,undesirable--no good;behaviors--drinking, drugs and casual sex.
例二(因果型細節題)Female capuchin monkeys were chosen for the research most probably because they are---.題干中有明顯表明因果的連詞because,而對應到原文中沒有表明因果的詞眼,但可以從句子中看出--such characteristics make them perfect candidates for Dr. Brosnan’s and Dr.de Waal’s study,該句表明正是因為猴子有一些特征而被選為研究對象。而具體的內容要追溯到前一句,看具體是哪些特征。而又通過most probably,對應到above all(最重要的是),they tend to pay much attention to the value of “goods and services”than males.因此選出答案more inclined to weigh what they get.
例三(觀點型細節題)Dr. Brosnan and Dr.de Waal have eventually found in their study that the monkeys---.通過eventually found可以排除AB選項,即非常常識性的選項。觀點類的詞匯--found,對應到suggest,Such co-operation is likely to be stable only when each animal feels it is not being cheated.選擇正確答案,will not be co-operative if feeling cheated.
例四(which題型)Which of the following may be required in an intelligence test?對于which題型也要定位到線索句,注意的是題干中也有對原文的同義替換--IQ tests ask you to complete verbal and visual analogies to envision paper after it has been folded and cut, and to deduce numerical sequences, among other similar tasks.答案是choosing words or graphs similar to the given ones,是對于線索句中關鍵詞匯的同一替換,verbal and visual--words or graphs、analogies--similar to the given ones。
