Question

Visitor Oyster cards are electronic smartcards that come fully charged with credit. Whether you're making a one-off trip to London or you’re a regular visitor, using an Oyster travel smartcard is the easiest way to travel around the city's public transport network. Simply touch the card on the yellow card reader at the doors when you start and end your journey.

Advantages of a Visitor Oyster Card

A Visitor Oyster card is one of the cheapest ways to pay for single journeys on the bus, Tube, DLR, tram, London Over-ground and most National Rail services in London:

● Save time----your card is ready to use as soon as you arrive in London.

● It's more than 50% cheaper than buying a paper travel card or single tickets with cash.

● There is a daily price cap----once you have reached this limit, you won’t pay any more.

● Enjoy special offers and promotions at leading London restaurants, shops and entertainment venues----plus discounts on the Emirates Air Line cable car and Thames Clippers river buses.

本文三题均为细节理解题，这一题型在高考阅读理解题中占有相当大的比例。从2015年全国各地的试题来看，细节理解题占全部阅读理解题的50%还多。细节理解题一般是根据短文提供的信息和事实提问的。细节题可分为两种类型：一种是答案几乎可以直接出短文中获得，正确答案和原文中含相关信息的句子也几乎相同;另一种细节题要复杂一些，有时在原文中找不到同正确选项相近的词，正确答案可能是原文某一事实的结果、原因、前提等。细节理解题的特点是：要选择的答案一定要在短文中找到相关的词、短语、句子或段落。选择的依据必须是短文本身提供的信息，而绝不是根据自己的主观假设或推测或是自己的观点来决定。在阅读过程中对一些涉及到who, what, when, where, how, why等常考的细节内容做适当标记，以便于解题时迅速、准确的查找。

细节理解题中有很多是非题。出题形式：

1)三正一误(三项正确，只有一项不符合原文内容)：Which of the following is true except...? Which of the following is mentioned except...?

2) 三误一正(三项错误，只有一项符合原文内容)： Which of the following is true? 解题方法：1)定位法 根据题干或选项中的关键词回归原文，找到相关句，仔细阅读后与选项相比较确定答案。2)固定思路 这种做题方法主要与三正一误的下列问法相联系：Which of the following mentioned except...? Which of the following is not mentioned...?这种问题的正确选项所包含的信息通常连续出现在同一段，而且往往无列举标志词，如first，second，third等。做题时只需阅读有关段落，根据一个选项中的关键词在其前后找其他两个正确选项，剩下一个原文中未提到的，为正确答案。
