(2)是非判断题。相对于前者，这类题有较大难度，题目虽来源于文章的相关细节，但往往涉及的细节内容较多，而且可能分布在文章的不同段落。返回目录 应试点睛在解答细节理解题时，要注意：
(1)忠于原文，选择的依据必须是短文本身提供的信息，不可根据自己的主观假设或推测来取舍；
(2)要重视人名、日期、事实、数据和地点等，这些是细节题考查的内容；
(3)应学会快速辨认和记忆事实或细节，可用“查读法”，即带着问题寻找答案。在阅读过程中对一些涉及who(何人)、what(何事)、when(何时)、where(何地)、how(怎样)、why(为何)等常考的细节内容做适当的标记，以便解题时迅速、准确地查找。返回目录 应试点睛例２ [2013·广东卷节选]

Richard Cantillon (1680s—May 1734) was an Irish economist and author of Essay on the Nature of Trade in General, a book considered by William Stanley Jevons to be the “cradle of political economy”．Although little information exists on Cantillon's life, it is known that he became a successful banker and merchant at an early age.His success was largely gained from the political and business connections he was able to acquire through his family and an early employer.During the late 1710s and early 1720s, Cantillon took a chance, and helped finance John返回目录 跟踪训练Law's Mississippi Company, from which he acquired great wealth.His success, however, came at a cost to his debtors, who attempted to get him involved in criminal activities, and even murder plots until his death in 1734.
The Essay remains Cantillon's only surviving contribution to economics.It was written in around 1730 and circulated widely in manuscript form, but was not published until 1755.Despite having much influence on the early development of the physiocrat(重农主义者)and classical schools of thought, the Essay was largely forgotten until its rediscovery by Jevons in the late 19th century. 返回目录 跟踪训练Cantillon was influenced by his experiences as a banker, and especially by the speculative bubble(投机泡沫)of John Law's Mississippi Company.He was also heavily influenced by previous economists, especially William Petty.返回目录 跟踪训练1．Which of the following about Cantillon is TRUE according to the first paragraph?

A．after the autumn school term beginning

Many people have been angered by the way some bankers and high officials seem to have been rewarded for failure. Others find the idea of offering many-million-dollar bonuses morally disgusting.

Indeed, in spite of all the complaints about them, financial encouragements continue to be introduced in more and more areas, from healthcare and public services to teaching and universities.返回目录 跟踪训练The effect of performance-related bonuses has not been well studied because people ________．
A．take the fun_ction of bonuses for granted
