Question

A Brooklyn man who was quarreling with his girlfriend yesterday threw a dog off the balcony（陽臺） of her 23rd-story apartment in TriBeCa, killing it, the police said.

She had filed a police report on Friday accusing（控告）Mr. Jefferson of stealing from her, but yesterday she allowed him in and they began arguing, the police said.

Mr. Jefferson threatened Ms. Miller with a knife, and she called 911, the police said.

Mr. Jefferson began throwing Ms. Miller’s things off the balcony, first the television, the air-conditioner and clothes, then her dog, Ribsy, the police and witnesses said.

考點：這是故事類的文章。

點評：細節(jié)題為閱讀考題的重頭戲，所占比例很高，相對而言較簡單，因為這類題雖然要求理解準確，但基本上限于字面意義的理解，范圍也限于局部，因此是我們可望得高分的部分。細節(jié)題絕大部分體現(xiàn)“中心思想是解”這一原理。本文都是細節(jié)理解題，在文中比較容易找到答案。
