托福阅读文章中会有很多的并列关系，有形容词之间的并列，有句子之间的并列…这些并列关系在大家的解题过程中有时候会帮助到大家，也有可能会成为解题关键，跟随前程百利小编一起来看看托福阅读中并列情形与解题的关系。
首先，我们先要了解一下常见的并列关系词，这样才能帮助大家识别并列关系。
likewise, in (much) the same way, similarly/similar to, vice versa, also/as well as, not only … but also …,both … and …, neither … nor …, like/just like, equally, or/and
接下来，让我们通过题目来看并列关系如何帮助我们解题。
例1：句子简化题中考察句是并列句
Many complex factors led to the adoption of the new economies, not only at Abu Hureyra, but at many other locations such as ‘Ain Ghazal, also in Syria, where goat toe bones showing the telltale marks of abrasion caused by foot tethering(binding) testify to early herding of domestic stock.’
Which of the sentences below best expresses the essential information I the highlighted sentence in the passage?
Incorrect choices change the meaning in important was or leave out essential information.
○In many areas besides Abu Hureyra, complex factors led to new economies including the herding of domestic stock.
○In Ain Ghazal and Syria domestic stock was more important that it was at Abu Hureyra.
○Once early methods of herding animals improved, new economies were adopted.
○Many complex theories attempt to explain the early domestication of animals.
解析：原句的意思：有很多复杂的因素导致人们采用新的经济形式，这不只是发生在阿布胡赖拉，在其它很多地方例如在艾因加扎勒和叙利亚发现的山羊的趾骨上就有显示足部被绑造成的磨损的迹象，这就证明该地出现了早期的畜牧业。
原句的主干是：Many complex factors led to the adoption of the new economies, not only …but at many other locations showing the telltale marks of abrasion…句子的主要逻辑是并列，并列的成分是“Abu Hureyra”和“other locations”，所以对比选项，排除A、C、D选项，选项B正确。
例2：词汇题中利用并列关系解题
Paragraph 2：In winter the heat produced by a city can equal or surpass the amount of heat available from the Sun. All the heat that warms a building eventually transfers to the surrounding air, a process that is quickest where houses are poorly insulated. But an automobile produces enough heat to warm an average house in winter, and if a house were perfectly insulated, one adult could also produce more than enough heat to warm it. Therefore, even without any industrial production of heat, an urban area tends to be warmer than the countryside that surrounds it.
The word “surpass” in the passage is closest in meaning to
○remain below
○be higher than
○add to
○come close to
解析：单词所在句子为“In winter the heat produced by a city can equal or surpass the amount of heat available from the Sun.”意思是：冬天城市所产生的热量可以达到或超过其从太阳那里接收的热量。根据句子的并列逻辑，“equal”和“surpass”在位置上是并列的，证明两个单词有某种方式上的并列，都是表示比较的动作。所以要从A和B选项之间选。而且按照一般的逻辑，“达到或者超出”更加符合表达习惯，所以正选是B。
以上就是前程百利小编为考生带来的并列关系帮助我们解答托福阅读题目的分析。希望大家在做题中不断总结这类解题方式。一般在词汇题中并列关系更常见一些。预祝大家托福考试取得好成绩!
