问法一般是：why does the author mention X? in order to ….细节题的提问方式多半是：what而这种题目多半是问why。

　　 新TOEFL阅读这种题目不是每篇文章都考的分为如下几类

　　 一、例子题，一般占出题机会的70%，why does the author mention X? X 本身是段落中出现的一个例子，这类题目是送分题，因为要么是先举例后总结，要么是先概述后举例，所以答案多半是绕过例子看概述，而概述的改写是就本题的答案所在。

　　 举个中文例子：丽丽老师是个好人。有一次，我见到丽丽帮助盲人过马路。作者提到了丽丽扶盲人过马路 in order to？为了说明丽丽老师是个好人。

　　如：Male swans will engage in ferocious contests, with their necks entwined as they attempt to cause mortal injure to each other.

　　The author mentions their necks entwined in paragraph 2 in order to ___

　　A. to indicate that swans are really rather affectionate

　　B. to emphasize how long swans’ necks are

　　C. to make the point that the swans are only pretending to hurt one another

　　D. to create a mental image for the reader of fighting swans.

　　从本题来看，总结在前例子在后，本题作者相表达的是：ferocious contest 进一步描画。

　　A表明天鹅很恩爱。无 B强调天鹅脖子长。 无 C．强调天鹅仅仅想假装伤害对方。无同时加了绝对意义的词成为错误选项的标志。所以正确答案为 D

　　注意：

　　1）如果原文有多个例子都是为同一主题服务的，则总结在第一例子出现处。

　　At the same time, the death rate, too, was falling. Urban living led to better sanitation, refrigeration, and water purification; it also resulted in better medical care as doctors and hospitals were more readily available. Most likely as a result of these factors, there were only eleven deaths per thousand annually by the early 1920s, which was half the rate of 1880s.

　　why does the author mention better medical care in paragraph 3?

　　A. It helps to explain why the birthrate is increasing
