【方法总结】概括细节理解题解题技巧
概括细节理解题要求通过思维分析将原文中比较分散或复杂的信息进行归纳概括,即要综合事实定答案。需要全面分析所涉及的相关信息,而不能只是单一地分析某句内容。
(1)通过关键词定位置。在阅读题干的时候迅速把题干中的关键词标记出来,然后根据关键词回到原文当中定位相关的段落、语句。
(2)通过概括定选项。概括细节理解题可能涉及文章某一段或几段,甚至贯穿全文的多个位置,需要考生寻找文章中的多个细节,并尝试用自己的语言去归纳文中的信息或事实,然后结合选项,选出和自己所归纳信息最接近的选项。
(3)兼用排除法解题。在难以作出选择时,也可采用排除法,将“无此细节”和“与此细节相反”的选项排除,进而选出正确答案。

[浙江台州一中2023高二期中] Beethoven is undoubtedly one of the greatest musicians. He completed 722 musical works. Unfortunately, the master died while still working on his 10th Symphony(交响曲). Now, a team of musicians and scientists have used artificial intelligence (AI)to complete the artist’s final composition.
Dr Matthias first came up with the idea of completing the composition in 2019. He thought it was an appropriate way to celebrate Beethoven’s 250th birthday in December 2020. He began by enlisting an international team of music experts to help him with the giant task. They included the music composer Walter Werzowa and Dr Ahmed Elgammal, the creator of an innovative AI technology for the art market.
Ahmed and his colleagues started the process by familiarising the AI software initially with a broad range of classical music, and then, narrowed it down to just Beethoven’s works. Meanwhile, Walter and his group tried to interpret the rough drafts and the handful of notes that detailed Beethoven’s plans for the 10th Symphony.
刷阅读理解
29
The team then began the slow and careful task of feeding the AI software musical notes from the unfinished composition. To stay true to Beethoven’s original composition, Ahmed’s team sent Walter hundreds of AI-generated musical note variations every evening. Walter would listen to them and then select the one that he thought was the closest to what the artist would have written. The AI team would add the music and rerun the software to generate the next suggestions. And piece by piece, the team was able to complete Beethoven’s 10th Symphony!
The composition was firstly released on October 9, 2021. Not surprisingly, it caused some controversy(争议). Critics believe technology should not be used to replicate the human creative process. Ahmed and his team agree with their opinions and say their AI software is not out to replace humans—it is just a tool to help artists to express themselves in new ways.

[河北沧州2023高二期末] A lot of people may feel puzzled about viewing art, for it is generally thought to be too abstract and professional.1. . Try these tips next time you’re viewing art and see if you can transform your experience.
Spend time on art. If you only take a moment to consider a work of art, you’ll only generate a moment’s opinion.2. . Art lets you put life on pause. That’s one of its greatest aspects. Even if it’s just for a few moments, stop worrying about what you need to do next or where you need to be and really dive into the artwork.
Determine the basics. When you’re first encountering an artwork, identify the basic information about it. If it’s a painting, see if you can figure out the type of paints used. When possible, identify the artist, when they created it, and whether it is a still life or a landscape.3. .
Recognise your feelings. Recognise your feelings as you first view the art.4. . Is it natural and unintentional? How does it affect your feelings? This subjective(主观的)response is a more immediate reaction, but it is worth regarding, because art is about the artist communicating and expressing ideas.

5. . Art is subjective, so finding what you like and don’t like about a work of art is a key factor in better understanding it. If you don’t like a certain style, don’t worry—there is something out there for everyone, from Abstract Expressionism to Photorealism.
A.Do some homework.
B.Find your likes and dislikes.
C.Is the artwork forceful and dramatic?
D.Is there a right or wrong way on how to view art?
E.However, it doesn’t mean you can’t view art if you’re not an art expert.
F.These simple observations can help you gain a better understanding of the artwork.
G.The most enriching and fascinating artwork requires plenty of time to fully appreciate.

【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了如何能够更好地欣赏艺术作品。
1.___
E
解析 上文讲到,很多人会对欣赏艺术作品感到困惑,认为艺术过于抽象和专业,下文建议下次欣赏艺术作品时尝试一下文中的建议,设空处应承上启下,E项(然而,这并不意味着如果你不是艺术专家,你就不能欣赏艺术作品)与上文形成转折,其中的an art expert与空前的professional相呼应。故选E项。
2.___
G
解析 根据本段第一句可知,本段主要说明欣赏艺术作品是需要时间的,空前提到,如果你只花片刻时间去思考艺术作品,那就只能得到一瞬间的想法,空后表示艺术让你暂停生活,故设空处应表示欣赏艺术作品时需要多花费一些时间去欣赏和思考。G项(最丰富和迷人的艺术作品需要大量的时间来充分欣赏)引出下文,符合语境,其中的requires plenty of time与本段第一句相呼应。故选G项。
刷7选5

3.___
F
解析 该空位于段尾,应是对本段内容的总结。本段的建议是观看艺术作品前,应当了解一些基础知识。比如如果是一幅画,弄清楚颜料的类型,辨认画作的作者、创作的时间、画作的内容是静物还是风景等等。F项(这些简单的观察可以帮助你更好地理解艺术作品)能够概括本段内容,选项中的These simple observations指代上文所说的有关艺术作品的基础知识。故选F项。
4.___
C
解析 根据上文Recognise your feelings as you first view the art.可知,上文告诉我们在欣赏艺术作品时,要认识到自己的感受,C项(这件艺术作品是否有说服力且给人印象深刻?)能够承接上文,介绍了从哪方面认识自己的感受,且与下文句式一致。故选C项。
5.___
B
解析 根据本文的行文结构可知,设空处为本段的主旨句,根据上文几段中主旨句的句式结构可以判断答案在A项和B项之中;根据空后的内容可知,本段主要是讲艺术是很主观的,所以欣赏艺术作品的关键是判断自己是否喜欢该作品。B项(找到自己的好恶)能够概括本段内容,其中的likes and dislikes与下文中的what you like and don’t like呼应。故选B项。
