【点睛】细节理解题的解题思路：
细节理解题就是我们常见的wh-题，它们大多是根据文章中的具体信息如事实、例证、原因、过程、论述等进行提问的。抓住文段中的事实和细节是做好该题型的关键，也是做好其它类型问题的基础。该题型几乎都可以在文章中直接找到与答案有关的信息，或是其变体。在一篇短文里大部分篇幅都属于这类围绕主体展开的细节，做这类题一般采用寻读法，即先读题，然后带着问题快速阅读短文，找出与问题和选项有关的词语或句子，再对相关部分进行分析对比，找出答案。例如小题2，答案定位在Everybody ' s Talking about Jamie部分This feel-good musical is set on a council estate in Sheffield, northern England（这部让人感觉良好的音乐剧以英格兰北部谢菲尔德市的一处市政住宅为背景。）由此可知，Everybody's Talking about Jamie这部音乐剧不是以美国为背景，故选D。
