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.
浏览原句，从because可以看出逻辑关系为因果关系，并且原句当中有绝对化词汇most。仅仅凭借most这个程度很强的词汇我们可以排除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。接下来利用逻辑关系排除A项，A中为转折关系。而B恰恰有because 这个词，此外B中的extremely可以作为most的同义替换。正确答案为B。
当然有一些题目，我们只能找到逻辑关系或者程度词一种单一的信息点，那么如何来操作呢?来看一道官方指南里的题目。
2. The extreme seriousness of desertification results from the vast areas of land and the tremendous numbers of people affected, as well as from the great difficulty of reversing or even slowing the process.
Once the soil has been removed by erosion, only the passage of centuries or millennia will enable new soil to form. In areas where considerable soil still remains, though, a rigorously enforced program of land protection may make it possible to reverse the present deterioration of the surface.
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. Desertification is a significant problem because it is so hard to reverse and affects large areas of land and great numbers of people.
B. Slowing down the process of desertification is difficult because of population growth.
C. The spread of deserts is considered a very serious problem that can be solved only if large numbers of people in various countries are involved in the effort.
D. Desertification is extremely hard to reverse unless the population is reduced in the vast areas affected.
首先通过原文的逻辑关系词results from ，我们可以判断这里的核心的逻辑关系为因果关系，排除C,D两项。这道题目的原文没有明显的程度词，那么我们看一下两项的区别。两项的区别主要在于主句的不同。原句当中results from之前的部分是结果：极端严重的沙漠化。B项中的结果是：减缓沙漠化的进程很难，而A项的结果是：沙漠化是一个严峻的问题，同时两项都在because 后面表明原因。因此我们选择A选项。对于这种题目我们只需要看一下所剩的选项的差别就可以完成题目了，而不需要浪费很多时间读题目，加快了我们的做题速度，节省时间。
