2. 細節(jié)題
要點題是講座要點部分的填空，那么細節(jié)題就是關于要點之下細節(jié)內容的填空。細節(jié)題大致可以分為三種：直截了當型，變換詞性型和變換思維角度型。

1) 直截了當型
這樣的細節(jié)題可以把講座的細節(jié)直接用來填空。因為講座內容和需要填入的內容完全吻合，所以只要筆記記錄下來，就可以正確回答。

2005年講座：
III. How to Choose a Topic for a Research Paper
In choosing a topic, …
Question No. 1: your familiarity with the topic
Question No. 2: availability of relevant information on the chosen topic
Question No. 3: narrowing the topic down to (9)
Question No. 4: asking questions about (10)

第9，10題非常直觀，講座中已經(jīng)直接明了地提出來了：Question number 3: Can you?cut the topic down to a manageable size? Question number 4: What questions can you ask about?the topic itself ? 所以答案分別是a manageable size和the topic itself。

2006年講座：
But different time periods and different (6) perspectives could?lead to different interpretations of meaning in a text.

第6題的填空和講座的內容基本相同，可以直接根據(jù)筆記來填空。講座中提到In?different time periods, with different cultural perspectives, including class, belief and world?view... can arrive at different interpretations of texts. 在不同時期，由于對種族、信仰、世界觀等產(chǎn)生了不同的文化觀點，人們會對文本產(chǎn)生不同的理解。因此答案是cultural。

2008年講座：
C. Number of people speaking English as a fi rst or a second language:
— 320-380 million native speakers
—250- (2) million speakers of English as a second language
此題很明顯是關于數(shù)字的細節(jié)題，主要考查對數(shù)字的敏感度。每當錄音中有數(shù)字出現(xiàn)時，都應該立即抓住這一信息，并準確記錄下來。錄音原文是：between 250 to 350 million?as a second language，可以直接根據(jù)筆記填寫。

2009年講座：
III. Structure of an experimental report
— feature: highly structured and (3)
— sections and their content:
該題的填空和講座內容完全一致，可以直接根據(jù)筆記來填空。講座中提到：A highly?structured and disciplined report is written in sections, and these sections, by and large, follow an?established sequence. 因此，答案為disciplined。

2010年講座：
C. proximity, posture and echoing
1. proximity: physical distance between speakers
— closeness: intimacy or threat
— (7) : formality or absence of interest
該題的填空部分與講座內容基本一致。講座中提到：The distance may show formality?or lack of interest. 因此答案為distance。

2011年講座：
B. examples
— personal space
— preference for (3) (3)
— less respect for privacy/personal space
— attention to (4) (4)
講座中出現(xiàn)的信息基本適用于這兩個填空題。根據(jù)First, in terms of personal space,?generally speaking in a high context culture, because there’s greater dependency on group?thinking, people lean toward heavier sensory involvement or closeness to people and they have?less respect for privacy, for personal space.可知高語境文化中的人際距離較近，因此第三題答案只要符合原意即可，包括physical/sensory closeness/sensory involvement/standing closer/closer distance等。第四題屬直接拷貝型。根據(jù)原文And also, people from a high-context?culture pay attention to body language即可得出答案為body language。

2012年講座：
People do observation in daily life context for safety or for proper behavior. However,?there are differences in daily life observation and research observation.
Differences daily life observation
— casual
— (1) ________
— dependence on memory
research observation
— (2) _________
— careful record keeping
這一部分有關行為觀測的取樣問題。講座中提到：For instance, when we casually?observe, we may not be aware of factors that bias our observations and when we rarely keep?formal records of our observations, instead we rely on our memory of events. 說明生活中的行為觀察沒有正式記錄，僅依賴記憶，所以第一個空格中填入細節(jié)信息no formal records。

同時，講座一開始就對生活中的行為觀察和科研中的行為觀察進行了對比，指出科研中的觀測更具系統(tǒng)性和客觀性：Observations in research, on the other hand, are made under?precisely defi ned conditions, that is, in a systematic and objective manner and with careful record?keeping。因此第二個空格的答案為：systematic/objective manner。

2) 轉換詞性型
直截了當型的填空出現(xiàn)頻率并不高，一般需要經(jīng)過思考才能填出適當?shù)脑~，其中一些空格需要轉換詞性。

2005年講座：
B.Characteristics:
1. survey-type paper:
— to gather
— to quote
— to (5)
此題要求轉換詞性填空。講座里說：Instead through quotations, summary, and?paraphrase, you try to provide a... 講座里的summary 和paraphrase是名詞，而填空里需要的是動詞，所以把它轉成summarize / paraphrase 就是答案了。

2009年講座：
— tasks to fulfi ll in an experimental report:
— introduction to relevant area
— necessary background information
— development of clear arguments
— defi nition of technical terms
— precise description of data (8)
此題要求轉換詞性填空。講座里說：...and five, provided precise details of the ways?in which you went about collecting and analyzing the data that you obtained. 講座里的collect和 analyze都是動詞，而填空里需要的是名詞或后置定語，因此需要轉換成collection andanalysis或者collected and analyzed。

3) 變換思維角度型
這一類的填空在歷年考題當中雖不多見，但有必要分析一下。講座者做講座的時候面對的是聽眾，而填空題的提綱面對的是讀者。這是兩種從不同角度傳達意思的方法，因此有變換角色的需要。

2005年講座中就出現(xiàn)了這樣一道題。
2. argumentative (research) paper：
a. The writer should do more, e.g.
— to interpret
— to question, etc.
b. (7) varies with the topic, e.g.
— to recommend an action, etc.
講座中提到：What’s more, your purpose may vary with your topic. 講座者當時是把聽眾當成寫論文的作者，但是轉換到填空題上的時候，就是另外一個角度，從局外泛泛地看論文寫作的方法。所以需要轉換成writer’s purpose，這才是正確答案。
