知识点 1

Locate and interpret significant details explicitly stated in the text.

Go back to the line and read the local evidence closely.

核心知识

Go back to the line. For an explicit-detail question, the answer usually lives in one line or a small cluster of lines.

深入理解

These questions punish memory-based reading. Go back, find the local evidence, and ask what it actually says, not what the whole passage generally suggests.

Use a quick local evidence check:

  • Source: match the stem to the right speaker, passage, or paragraph.
  • Literal meaning: read what the lines say before you interpret.
  • Common trap: watch for familiar wording attached to the wrong person, reason, or time.

分步讲解

  1. Match the stem to the right speaker, passage, or paragraph.
  2. Read the lines literally before you interpret them.
  3. Choose the answer that matches those lines exactly.
