托福阅读句子简化题是托福阅读中一类很“任性”的题目。因为有些考生不管自己的基础有多好,对文章理解的有多么透彻,对于这类题目总是摸不着头脑;但是还有一些考生因为掌握了这类题目的“命门”,总是可以快准狠地完成这类题目的解答。
所以,前程百利小编要给大家带来一种方法,让大家可以分分钟搞定托福阅读句子简化题。
托福阅读句子简化题是托福阅读中比较浪费考生时间的一种题型,其题型如下:
Which sentence 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.
该题要求用另一种表达方式表达与原句相同的意思。只要是句子简化题,其所有的题干都是一样的,因此考试可以忽略题干,直接看原文句子。
为了识别它的真面目,我们必须了解这个题型的考察目的。句子简化题实质上是考察考生的词汇,句型,基本语法和文章结构理解。把词汇这种细节忽略,其实简而言之就是考察句子的逻辑。那么利用逻辑如何解题呢?
例:来自TPO23-Seventeenth-Century Dutch Agriculture第二题
Importing the grain, which would have been expensive and time consuming for the Dutch to have produced themselves, kept the price of grain low and thus stimulated individual demand for other foodstuffs and consumer goods.
2. Which is 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. Buying imported grain led to the Dutch demanding that other foodstuffs and consumer goods be imported.
B. Because the Dutch were able to import inexpensive grain, they had money available to create a demand for other food products and consumer goods.
C. Keeping the price of grain low was a primary goal of the Dutch at a time when they could not produce enough grain to provide for all their needs.
D. The demand for other foodstuffs and consumer goods forced the Dutch to import grain and other products at a time when maintaining low prices was especially important.
解析:句子的主干是Importing the grain kept the price of grain low and thus stimulated individual demand for other foodstuffs and consumer goods.主要逻辑是因果关系,指示词thus。
看选项A,逻辑正确,“other foodstuffs and consumer goods be imported”原句没有提到。选项B正确;选项C中的“a primary goal” 原句没有提到,逻辑也错误。选项D中的逻辑正确,但是因果说反了。
根据例题,想必大家已经了解了逻辑解题法的奥妙。在利用这种方法解题时,注意错误选项的几种形式:逻辑错误;逻辑对象表述错误;出现新概念。
以上就是前程百利小编带来的托福阅读句子简化题的解法介绍。尽管这种方法很好用,但是大家要注意前提就是要熟悉句子中逻辑的各种形式。预祝大家托福考试取得好成绩!
