托福阅读句子简化题是托福阅读十大题型之一，对一些考生来说是一类难题。那么为什么句子简化题那么“难”呢？小编分析：因为句子简化题一方面涉及句子的阅读，另一方面和文章结构相关。有些考生本来在句子阅读方面基础就比较差，再加上文章结构这样需要在整体上把握的信息，当然觉得做题压力很大。可是你不知道的是解题方法就潜藏在题干中！接下来小编给大家分享的是，如果通过抓住题干攻克托福阅读句子简化题。
让我们先看一题：
Play allows a young animal to explore its environment and practice skill in comparative safety since the surrounding adults generally do not expect the young to deal with threats or predators. Play can also provide practice in social behaviors needed for courtship and mating. Learning appropriate social behaviors is especially important for species that live in groups, like young monkeys that needed to learn to control selfishness and aggression and to understand the give-and-take involved in social groups. They need to learn how to be dominant and submissive because each monkey might have to play either role in the future. Most of these things are learned in the long developmental periods that primates have, during which they engage in countless play experiences with their peers.
Which of the sentences below best expresses the essential information in the highlighted sentence in the passage? Incorrect choices change the meaning in important ways or leave out essential information.
A. Only monkeys that have learned to control their selfish and aggressive behaviors can be involved in social groups.
B. Selfish and aggressive animals like monkeys live in groups in order to practice appropriate social behaviors.
C. Monkeys and other social animals need to learn behaviors appropriate for their social groups.
D. Some monkeys are naturally too selfish and aggressive to understand the give-and-take of social groups, so they learn such important behaviors while young.
如果看完题目你完全不知道从哪里下手，就先研究一下题干，看看从题干中可以得到什么重要信息。
Which of the sentences below best expresses the essential information in the highlighted sentence in the passage? Incorrect choices change the meaning in important ways or leave out essential information.
小编从题干中找到这些信息：
一、正确选项的特质
题干的关键词是“essential information”，“主要意思”，意味着正确选项中的信息少于句子中的信息而没有必要完整表达句子意思。这样的话，把题目是要选“同义句”这一认识用在这里就错了:因为找同义句的过程可能会用排除法，因为某个选项没有涵盖所有信息而被排除，这样肯定会误删正选，必错。
二、错误选项的特征
题干中有这么一句：Incorrect choices change the meaning in important ways or leave out essential information.
change the meaning in important ways错误选项在很大程度上改变了句子的意思，所以用这个特征一定能正确排除错误选项。
leave out essential information遗漏了重要信息，这就说明有一类错误选项确实对原句的意思进行了正确的表达，但是错在忘记了重点信息。
总结一下，正选、错选都是有特征的，而且都和出题句中的信息点有关，那就来对比一下句子和选项的信息点。
Learning appropriate social behaviors is especially important for species that live in groups, like young monkeys that needed to learn to control selfishness and aggression and to understand the give-and-take involved in social groups.
信息点1.学习社交行为特别重要
信息点2.对群居动物而言
信息点3.比如年轻的猴子
信息点4.控制自私和攻击性
信息点5.理解付出和收获
那么哪一点是重要的呢？当然是信息点1，其次是信息点2，其余的是例子和影响。
看选项，A包括信息点3，4，5，B包括信息点3，4，C包括信息点1,2,3，D包括2,3,4,5。
所以选C，当然，因为只有C包含信息点1，直接可选。
这些关于句子简化题题干的分析为我们提供了很科学的做题套路：首先，分析原句信息点，然后，对比选项信息点。当然，像小编在一开始提到的一样，在做题时还可能遇到句子结构更加复杂的题目，而且还有一些句子在不考虑文章主题的情况下很容易对主要信息判断错误，可能没有例题这么简单，所以掌握方法的同时，还要打好长难句的基础以及纵观全文。
