what did scientists learn about earthquakes at the area?
according to the passage，how did the drums differ from many other drums?
according to the passage，through which of the following does the energy released?
2.不完全式
according to the passage，the new machine proved to be .
in the authors opinion，visual and spatial abilities are good for __________.
according to the passage，women are usually good at __________.

可見這類問題大多是根據文章中的具體資訊，如事實、例證、原因、特點、過程、論述等進行提問。和推測文章大意、標題，作者態度這類歸納推理題相比較，這種問題要容易些，因為其答案可以直接在文章中找到的。所以，這類問題也稱之為 "直接解答性問題".
