小编建议：
除了题目本身所要求查找的细节外，阅读时一定要注意不要逐字逐句地死抠，而要有所侧重。
（1）侧重首段、尾段，首句、尾句。因为这些部分往往是作者所要谈及的论点、主题或中心思想，抓住了主干，那么细节问题就会迎刃而解。
（2）侧重语篇标志词。
语篇中句子和句子之间、段落和段落之间就是通过这种词语连接起来的，把握住这些词语就等于把握了句与句、段与段之间的关系。对于获取所需信息、准确答题至关重要。语篇标志词连接的主要内容有：（1）例解，如for instance，for example；（2）列举；（3）比较；（4）转折和对比；（5）原因；（6）结果；（7）方式和手段；（8）时间；（9）地点；（10）目的；（11）分类；（12）补充；（13）强调；（14）条件；（15）结论。
（3）侧重长句、难句。
因为英语表达以冗长著称，论理性很强的文章更是如此。通过较长的句子来表达复杂的思想内容，从而使文章更具有说服力。所以，我们在阅读时必须重视长句、难句，认真分析句子，把握关键。事实上，不少问题就是针对这些长句、难句而设置的。
以上是济南弘博教育总结的几点解英语题的技巧。除此之外，要多做练习题，才能在实践中深刻体会，在练习中尽快掌握这些技巧并摸索出一套适合自己的方法。
真题模拟：
In our daily life， few people notice the fact that warm water freezes more quickly than cold. Sir Francis Bacon said that almost four hundred years ago. But few people believed him till 1970. In that year Canadian Scientist George Kell proved the English scholar was right. Dr. Kell filled an open bucket with cold water. He filled another with warm water. He exposed both to the same low temperature. The warm water froze first.
The lack of covers on the buckets was the secret. Some of the warm water changed to vapor. It evaporated （蒸发） into the air. This meant that less of the warm water was left to freeze. And so the warm water froze faster than the cold water even though it had a greater temperature drop to make.
