这类题题分两种情况：
First，提到的部分是例子或者细节信息，通常有 For example， such as这些词，在上一个题型中提到了，如果有举例的话要往前读，找到它支持的观点。答案就是为了支持这个例子所支持的观点。
比如说：我对她很好。我每个月工资都给她。
问题：why does the author mentions我每个月工资都给她?
答案：to support the idea that我对她很好。
以上是正常的解题思路，下面请看：
无耻技巧 5：
当原文中被标记的部分在 such as或 for example之后，带有 provide example of 的选项，基本是正确的。
看具体的例子：
Paragraph 2: Sensitivity to physical laws is thus animportant consideration for the maker of applied-art objects. It is often takenfor granted that this is also true for the maker of fine-art objects. Thisassumption misses a significant difference between the two disciplines.Fine-art objectsare not constrained by the laws of physics in the same way that applied-artobjects are. Because their primary purpose is not functional, they are onlylimited in terms of the materials used to make them. Sculptures must, forexample, be stable, which requires an understanding of the properties of mass,weight distribution, and stress. Paintings must have rigid stretchers so thatthe canvas will be taut, and the paint must not deteriorate, crack, ordiscolor. These are problems that must be overcome by the artist becausethey tend to intrude upon his or her conception of the work. Forexample, in the early Italian Renaissance, bronze statues of horses with araised foreleg usually had a cannonball under that hoof. This was donebecause the cannonball was needed to support the weight of the leg. In otherwords, the demands of the laws of physics, not the sculptor's aestheticintentions, placed the ball there. That this device was a necessary structuralcompromise is clear from the fact that the cannonball quickly disappeared whensculptors learned how to strengthen the internal structure of a statue withiron braces (iron being much stronger than bronze).
6. Whydoes the author discuss the bronze statues of horses created by artists in theearly Italian Renaissance?
A.To provide an example of aproblem related to the laws of physics that a fine artist mustovercome.
B.To argue that fine artists are unconcerned withthe laws of physics.
C.To contrast the relativesophistication of modern artists in solving problems related to thelaws of physics.
D.To note an exceptional piece of art constructedwithout the aid of technology.
这类题不用找关键词了，直接给你了，也不用自己找定位句了，文章标记了。直接读定位句，For example, in the early Italian Renaissance,bronze statues of horseswith araised foreleg usually had acannonball under that hoof,运用无耻技巧，直接选择 A。
正常做题，for example读前一句，these are problems that…………我之间讲过定从不用读， 只读观点。观点就是这些是问题。所以选择 A.
Second，第二种类型，标记的部分本身就是观点，那么找同义转述即可，类似细节题。
