细节事实题是考研英语阅读理解当中最重要的题型，也是占据比重最大的题型，每年基本20道题目中有一半都是细节事实题。接下来我们来讲解以下解题顺序：
1. 标志：fact, truth；时间，数字，地点，大写字母，钱；专有名词。
2. 根据题干中的标志词返回原文定位：考生一定要每道题目都返回原文，这是解任何题目的基础，很多考生阅读得不了高分得最重要原因就是不返回原文定位。然而考研和四、六级考试不一样，四、六级考试每道题目基本都能定位到原文的某一句话，而考研直白地考一句话的概率很小，基本都是定位在某一段。
3. 经常考察的是对原文中一些细节性、具体信息的阅读，因此一定要精确理解原文：这就是考验最大的特点，就是考察的非常细，不光光是一个句子，甚至于一个单词，一个标点符号都要正确理解。
4. 正确选项应与原文同义表达：我们把选项和原文重叠，记住“本本主义”，即与原文意思接近的，差不多的为正确答案，与原文意思相反的，或者只要是文中未提及的都是错的。
接下来我们具体以真题为例来阐述一下我们的解题步骤，如2000年第一篇文章：
It was inevitable that this primacy should have narrowed as other countries grew richer. Just as inevitably, the retreat from predominance proved painful. By the mid-1980s Americans had found themselves at a loss over their fading industrial competitiveness. Some huge American industries, such as consumer electronics, had shrunk or vanished in the face of foreign competition. By 1987 there was only one American television maker left, Zenith. (Now there is none: Zenith was bought by South Korea's LG Electronics in July。) Foreign-made cars and textiles were sweeping into the domestic market. America's machine-tool industry was on the ropes. For a while it looked as though the making of semiconductors, which America had which sat at the heart of the new computer age, was going to be the next casualty。
