通过分析历年真题可知细节题、推断题、词汇题、例证题、态度题、主旨题是英语六级阅读题目的常考题型，所以大家在日常练习中要注意多练习此类题型，下面小编为大家讲解一下细节题的解题步骤。

　　1)读题干找关键定位词(专有名词、数字、年份等)。

　　2)根据题干定位词回文定位，寻找线索句。

　　3)阅读选项，找与原文线索句的同义替换项，排除无关干扰选项，确定最终正确答案。

　　实战演练

　　The researchers studied the behaviour of female brown capuchin monkeys. They look cute. They are good-natured, co-operative creatures, and they share their food readily. Above all, like their female human counterparts, they tend to pay much closer attention to the value of “goods and services” than males.

　　Such characteristics make them perfect candidates for Dr. Brosnan’s and Dr. de Waal’s study. The researchers spent two years teaching their monkeys to exchange tokens for food. Normally, the monkeys were happy enough to exchange pieces of rock for slices of cucumber. However, when two monkeys were placed in separate but adjoining chambers, so that each could observe what the other was getting in return for its rock, their behaviour became markedly different.

　　23. Female capuchin monkeys were chosen for the research most probably because they are ________.

　　[A] more inclined to weigh what they get

　　[B] attentive to researchers’ instructions

　　[C] nice in both appearance and temperament

　　[D] more generous than their male companions

　　解析：通过阅读题干可得知该题是因果细节题，根据题干中的定位词“ Female capuchin monkeys”“were chosen”“most probably because ”，回文定位，不难发现文章第三段第一句话“Such characteristics make them perfect candidates for Dr. Brosnan’s and Dr. de Waal’s study.”这些特性让它们成为Dr. Brosnan 和 Dr. de Waal的最理想的研究对象。而特性有哪些，根据such一词的指代，可在上文第二段找到关于雌性卷尾猴的特性。但这道题要注意一个关键点“most”，题目中问到的是主要原因，由此可推断出文中原因不止一个，主要原因的判断需要找到一个关键词“above all”。因此，本题我们的文中线索句是“like their female human counterparts, they tend to pay much closer attention to the value of “goods and services” than males.”(像人类中的女性一样，她们比男性更加重视“商品和服务”的价值。)线索句与选项进行匹配，不难发现A选项more inclined to weigh what they get(更加重视她们所得到的)正是对线索句的同义改写。而错误选项B、D选项是无中生有选项，C选项为次要原因，而不是主要原因。“Practice makes perfect.”
