细节题主要是指用Wh-问题的形式对短文中有关人名、地名、时间、原因、数据、目的、年代等提出的问题，有时也包括是非判断题。由于是对细节的考查，这类题也有一定的难度。答题时除了要把握准有关细节信息，还要听清提问的角度和具体要求。这类提问方式不拘一格，依考查的内容而异，主要有以下几种形式：
According to the passage, when/where/who/what/why/how did...?
Which of the following adjectives best describes...?
Which of the following (statements)is true/ not true?
Which of the following is mentioned/not mentioned?
细节题以辨认题居多。有可能几个选项在文章中都有所提及，但只要仔细听，注意分别，就能在原文中找到各自的出处。
此类题型要求考生对听到的内容进行整体的把握和全面的领会。任何一段对话或独白都是围绕一个中心展开的，有时主旨大意较明显，有时则需要归纳。
此类题型常见的提问方式有：
What are the two speakers talking about?
What are the two speakers doing?
What is the talk/dialogue about?
What’s the topic of the passage?
顾名思义，主旨大意题要求考生在听懂短文的基础上归纳出短文的主题思想，其中还包
括为短文选择最合适的题目和对作者的结论或意图进行判断归纳。这类题目主要着眼于对全篇总体上的理解。此类题常见的提问方式有：
What is the main idea/topic/subject/chief purpose of this passage?
What is the best title for this passage?
What does the passage tell us essentially?
What is the subject they are talking about?
What did the speaker mainly discuss/talk about?

这种题型出现的频率很高，其特征是：第一个说话人所说的不是十分重要;第二个说话人的答话由两部分组成：先是一个简单的短句，紧接着是一个较长的句子，短句与长句之间常用but, though, however等转折意思的`词语连接，从而引起的作者态度及谈论重点的变化。
对话中对话者对他们谈论的人或事持什么观点或态度往往含而不露，考生只能根据对话内容的关键词、上下文甚至语气、语调的内涵意义并利用逻辑思维能力来进行判断，才能对传递的信息进行比较深层次的理解。具体表达观点、态度时，可能出现的模式有：间接表达式，不明说赞成或反对;反问否定式，常委婉地表示质疑和反对;委婉谢绝式，先表示肯定、赞成、谢意等，随后说出真实看法;看似否定实为肯定式，如 why not, I can’t agree any more 等。
常见的提问方式有：
How does the man/woman feel about...?
What does the man/woman think of...?
What does the man/woman say about...?
What does the man/woman mean?
在这类对话中，由于说话人之间的关系不同，其用词、造句、语气都有区别。这是听录音时要抓的关键之一，在此基础上再捕捉有关信息，然后判断、推测人物之间的关系及其身份。这类题比较简单，考生只要抓住那些与职业和身份有关的关键词即可回答。这类题目与询问地点的考题有类似之处。
常见的提问形式有：
Who is the man/woman?
What is the man’s/woman’s job/profession/occupation?
What is the probable relationship between the two speakers?
Who is the man/woman most probably speaking to?
考题中常涉及的职业或人物身份关系及相关信息词有：
老师和学生(teacher and student)：grade, mark, score, term, course, assignment, pass, fail, scholarship, tuition, campus, dormitory, lab, experiment...
医生和病人(doctor and patient)：fever, cough, cold, headache,injection, prescription, diagnose, temperature, medicine, blood pressure, heart disease, flu, surgery...
侍者和顾客(waiter/waitress and customer)：menu, order, reserve, steak, ham, salad, soup, coffee, juice, hamburger, sandwiches, buffet, bar, brandy, whisky, dessert, tip...

例文： Preserving Natural Resources
Through the changes in the ways of making a living in a family over several generations, the cartoon aims at sounding a warning against man's wasteful use of natural resources and emphasizing the urgent need to preserve these resources.
Ever since man appeared on the earth, man's survival has been heavily relied on nature. Almost everything we use in our everyday life comes from nature, ranging from the food we eat, the water we drink, to the wood which is turned into furiture. With the development of technology and population growth, the amount and range of materials used has increased at an alarming rate. However, natural resources are not inexhaustible. Some reserves are already on the brink of exhaustion and there is no hope of replacing them. The widespread water shortage is an example in point. If man continued to squander natural resources with no thought for the future, the later generations would end up selling sand, as is the case in the cartoon, and the whole world would be in a mess.
Time is running out. It is up to us to take effective measures before the situation gets out of hand.

A. Title:Globle Shortage of Fresh Water
B. Word Limit: about 200 words
C. Your composition should
be based on the Outline given in Chinese below:
1. 人们认为淡水是取之不尽的(提示：雨水，河水，井水)
2. 实际上淡水是短缺的(提示：人口增加，工业用水增加，污染严重)
3. 我们应当怎么办(提示：节约用水，开发新水源)
例文： Global Shortage of Fresh Water
People often think that water will never be used up. There is plenty of water, such as rain, water from the rivers and wells. It seems as if water is always available around us and we never have to worry about water shortage.
In fact water is rather limited on the earth. With the rapid increase of population and fast development of industries, water is more needed than before. At the same time, a large amount of water has been polluted and wasted every day. Some big cities in China are facing the problem of water shorage already. There, water sup* is controlled and industry has been restrained.
What should we do about the water shorage? I think, first, the people should be made aware of the real situation about the water. Everyone should consciously save on water and certain law should be made that no water will be polluted. We have to protect the existing water resources and develop new ones. In this way I believe that our cities will not be thirsty for water in the future.
