2、细节题
大多数文章都包含主旨和细节题两部分。细节（Supporting Details）是作者用具体事实和细节来证明、分析、解释文章的中心思想、段落大意等。它们的目的是说明“为什么(why)”、“如何(how)”、“何时(when, what time)”、“何地(where)”等内容。细节题用来测试考生对文章中事实和有关细节的理解程度。文章包括询问人（who）、物（what）、时间（when, what time）、地点（where）、数据(data)、事情发生的原因或结果（cause and effect）等。细节有时具体到人物的性格或特征。除此以外，细节题还可能是针对作者的观点或文章构思的某一细节进行提问。

3、推理题
阅读理解题中，难度最大的是推理题（inference questions），因为这种问题不仅要求考生捕捉信息，抓住主题和大意，而且还要利用文章中的线索和暗示进行逻辑推理，通过表面文字信息去推测文章深层结构中的含义。推理型题包括数字型推理（根据提到的数字，经过计算得出答案）和作者身份推理、文章出处型推理（推测所度文章的来源、前后的段落）、观点－态度型推理（推测作者对某个问题的态度或某个观点的看法、文章的风格以及语气）、判断型推理(对细节进行浅层推理，以得出某一判断)、内涵型推理（对某个句子、细节或整篇文章的深层推理，以得到字里行间的意思）、结论型推理（对某个段落或整篇文章的结论进行推理）、
