細節事實題是考研英語閱讀理解當中最重要的題型，也是占據比重最大的題型，每年基本20道題目中有一半都是細節事實題。接下來我們來講解以下解題順序：
1. 標志：fact, truth；時間，數字，地點，大寫字母，錢；專有名詞。
2. 根據題干中的標志詞返回原文定位：考生一定要每道題目都返回原文，這是解任何題目的基礎，很多考生閱讀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、六級考試不一樣，四、六級考試每道題目基本都能定位到原文的某一句話，而考研直白地考一句話的概率很小，基本都是定位在某一段。
3. 經常考察的是對原文中一些細節性、具體信息的閱讀，因此一定要精確理解原文：這就是考驗最大的特點，就是考察的非常細，不光光是一個句子，甚至于一個單詞，一個標點符號都要正確理解。
4. 正確選項應與原文同義表達：我們把選項和原文重疊，記住“本本主義”，即與原文意思接近的，差不多的為正確答案，與原文意思相反的，或者只要是文中未提及的都是錯的。
接下來我們具體以真題為例來闡述一下我們的解題步驟，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。
