在新托福阅读的考查中，每篇文章必会出现一类题，叫做句子简化题。下面前程百利小编将结合具体的例题给大家介绍托福阅读句子简化题的解题技巧。
1. Virtually all animals experience pain. Pain is a distress call from the body signaling some damaging stimulus or internal disorder. It is one of the most important sensations because it is translated into a negative reaction, such as withdrawal from danger. Rare individuals who are born without the ability to feel pain may die from such condition as a ruptured appendix because they are unaware of the danger.
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.
A. Escaping from danger is a negative reaction, but it is the most important thing an individual learns.
B. The ability to sense pain is extremely important because pain signals the body to respond to a threat.
C. Experiencing pain is one type of reaction to a negative stimulus; another type is avoiding danger.
D. We experience a lot of sensations, and the most important ones are translated into appropriate actions.
原句中的because可以看出其逻辑关系为因果关系，而且有程度词绝对化词汇most。根据most这个绝对化词汇我们可以排除C选项。因为原文当中带有绝对化词汇而选项中没有，那么这个选项为必错选项。然后A句中为转折关系——but，D句中没有明显的逻辑关系，只有B有because 这个词，同时B中的extremely可以作为most的同义替换。所以正确答案为B。
2. In evolutionary history, the development of language set humans apart from the rest of the animal kingdom.
Spoken language originated when early humans began to string grunts and squeals together to form a sound-meaning system. Language provided humans with the tools to create ideas and then to communicate these ideas to other people.
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.
A. Humans evolved as the most powerful species after they are developed language.
B. The creation of human language has its origins in the language of animals.
C. The emergence of language distinguished early humans from other animals.
D. Humans and animals developed completed different systems of communication.
这是考题当中为数不多的原句比较简单的句子释义题，原句的核心概念在于强调区分(apart from)。因此找到同义替换，即是C项当中的distinguished。但是大多数题目的原文不会是一个简单句，多数是带有逻辑关系的复杂句。那么简单的同义替换技巧就无法操作了。
