托福阅读中细节题是出现数量较多的一个题型。细节题虽然难度一般不会很高，但考生在定位原文的时候却需要花比较多的时间，可以说是解答起来比较繁琐的题型。
在介绍获取关键信息的方法之前我们需要先来了解一下阅读中细节信息相关题目的总体出题思路，或者说他的套路。
第一步会根据原文1-2句话设置正确选项
第二步一般会对这个选项进行同义改写，最后再在出题处周围设置干扰选项
很多同学看到第一步就很激动了，那我们的解题方法不是就很简单了吗?直接找到原文的那一两句话就好了，这个思路是非常正确的，但前提是要找的到才行，选项是会对原文进行同义改写的怎么办呢?信息依然是需要定位的，我们只能在选择定位词的时候选择那些最不容易被改写掉的词，于是就有了以下这个选取定位词的顺序：特殊标志词优先于名词，名词一般优先于动词和形容词。
比如下面这个题目：
Livestock also came from outside Africa. Cattle were introduced from Asia, as probably were domestic sheep and goats. Horses were apparently introduced by the Hyksos invaders of Egypt (1780-1560 B.C.) and then spread across the Sudan to West Africa. Rock paintings in the Sahara indicate that horses and chariots were used to traverse the desert and that by 300-200 B.C., there were trade routes across the Sahara. Horses were adopted by peoples of the West African savannah, and later their powerful cavalry forces allowed them to carve out large empires. Finally, the camel was introduced around the first century A.D. This was an important innovation, because the camel’s abilities to thrive in harsh desert conditions and to carry large loads cheaply made it an effective and efficient means of transportation. The camel transformed the desert from a barrier into a still difficult, but more accessible, route of trade and communication.
According to paragraph 2,camels were important because they
A were the first domesticated animal to be introduced to Africa
B allowed the people of the West African savannahs to carve out large empires
C helped African peoples defend themselves against Egyptian invaders
D made it cheaper and easier to cross the Sahara
思路分析：
题干问的是“camels were important because they”那我们根据刚才的定位顺序，选择camel 去定位，于是发现原文的倒数第2和3句在讲camel ，读完以后发现倒数第二句because就是题目的答案，这个时候再看下选项发现只有D选项是和原文because后面的内容相同，于是就选D了。
通过上面的定位方法能快速并且清晰的找到题目的答案，但有的题目在定位过程里发现，自己选择的关键词在段落的很多地方都会出现了，更甚是整段都是围绕这个定位词在展开，此时要如何寻找呢?
多重定位把选项也放进来定位，特别是题干里提问有关原文某个信息说话正确的或者不正确的时候，比如下面的题目，According to the passage, which of the following is true of wildebeests?或者According to paragraph 1, all of the following are true of icebergs EXCEPT等，根据题干这两个题目，我们分别会选择wildebeests和icebergs去定位，结果发现原文整段都在讨论我们选的定位词，这个时候把选项放进来定位是最直接也是最快找到我们的解题信息的，特殊标志词优先于名词，名词优先于动词和形容词，在找信息的过程中同学们要注意同义改写。 |
