英语中阅读理解中的细节理解题属于直接解答性问题，是阅读理解题中最简单的一种，多数属中低难度的送分题。但由于中考所占的比例很大，应特别引起注意。比如本文中的第三小题At last John asked________ to cut that cake.，通读文章之后，根据文章最后的He thought about this for a short time, and then took the cake to his sister and said to her, “Please cut the cake into two, Mary and be a good sister.”便可得出答案。
