備考指導來源：文都教育 2015-01-09　

2015考研初試已過，考研的戰場上即將迎來2016的考生。面臨愈來愈激烈的競爭與挑戰，對于2016考研的考生來說，不僅要更加的努力，更多的是要預先把握考試的規律和方法，在一開始就找準一個正確的復習方向。今天老師要和大家分享的是考研英語閱讀中與主旨相關的一類細節題的做題方法和思路。

考研英語的正確答案設定有時比較抽象，或者與長難句密切相關，難以理解，所以很難做出選擇，又或者排除兩個，在剩下的兩個之間舉棋不定，這種題型我們在文都課程當中會幫大家梳理。一個最為核心的解題原則就是“細節服從主旨”。我們來看一道英語真題實例：

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?

A. His music criticism may not appeal to readers today.

B. His reputation as a music critic has long been in dispute.

C. His style caters largely to modern specialists.

D. His writings fail to follow the amateur tradition.

解析：根據題目定位大寫的人物名字出現在最后一段第二句話，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. 句中講到這個人現在只被知道是一位散文作家;而后邊一句話though, he was also one of England’s foremost classical-music critics, 說到他還是英國最有名的古典音樂評論家。可見文中信息強調的是他不僅是散文作家，而且還是評論家，評論家是強調信息。而很多同學分不太清句子邏輯關系，在幾個選項中徘徊不定，這時就可以采用“細節服從主旨”的方法，文章的主題是再說“評論家”，所以我們應該選擇含有“評論”相關信息的選項，由此可以確定為A. His music criticism may not appeal to readers today.

考研英語，無論是文章還是解題思路，都有一些明顯命題規律。它不僅考察我們的英語基本功，同時在讀懂的基礎之上，還要掌握相應的命題規律和解題技巧才能事半功倍。所以希望2016考研的考生在備考的時候，一定要提早動手，多聽一些前人的經驗總結和建議，結合自身的情況進行復習備考。
