托福阅读推断题好象是托福阅读里面比较容易的一种题目。搞定推断题的要点其实只有一个，那就是理清作者的逻辑。接下来前程百利小编为考生带来例题。
在看懂每句话句义的基础上，还需要的是明白前后句之间的关系，了解它们在作者的论证或者叙述中所起的作用，在此之后，阅读选项，直接选出正确选项，或者排除所有错误选项得到正确选项就好。
来看几个例子。
【例1】Paragraph 1: Groundwater is the word used to describe water that saturates the ground, filling all the available spaces. By far the most abundant type of groundwater is meteoric water; this is the groundwater that circulates as part of the water cycle. Ordinary meteoric water is water that has soaked into the ground from the surface, from precipitation (rain and snow)and from lakes and streams. There it remains, sometimes for long periods, before emerging at the surface again. At first thought it seems incredible that there can be enough space in the ―solid‖ ground underfoot toehold all this water.
1. Which of the following can be inferred from paragraph 1 about the ground that we walk on?
○It cannot hold rainwater for long periods of time.
○It prevents most groundwater from circulating.
○It has the capacity to store large amounts of water.
○It absorbs most of the water it contains from rivers.
这个题目其实只需要关注段落中的最后一句就可以了，因为这是唯一一句据提到了“我们脚下的土地”的，句中说，‘乍一想起来，我们脚下结实的土地居然能有空间容纳这么多的水，这似乎有点不可思议。’这句中透露的一个事实就是，我们脚下的土地就是能容纳这么多水，于是C选项正确。
【例2】Paragraph 1: The transition from forest to treeless tundra on mountain slope is often a dramatic one. Within a vertical distance of just anew tens of meters, trees disappear as a life-form and are replaced by low shrubs, herbs, and grasses. This rapid zone of transition is called the upper timberline or tree line. In many semiarid areas there is also a lower timberline where the forest passes into steppe or desert at its lower edge, usually because of a lack of moisture.
3. Which of the following cane inferred from paragraph 1 about both the upper and lower timberlines?
○Both are treeless zones.
○Both mark forest boundaries.
○Both are surrounded by desert areas.
○Both suffer from a lack of moisture.
段落中已经说明，upper timberline是树林的上端与草地、灌木丛的分界线，而lower timberline是树林下端与草原或是沙漠的分界线，于是upper and lower timberlines的共同点就是，他们都是树林与其他地区的分界线，也就是树林的边界，B选项正确。
【例3】Paragraph 5: Even the kind of stability defined as simple lack of change is not always associated with maximum diversity. At least in temperate zones, maximum diversity is often found in mid-succession stages, not in the climax community. Once a redwood forest matures, for example, the kinds of species and the number of individuals growing on the forest floor are reduced. In general, diversity, by itself, does not ensure stability. Mathematical models of ecosystems likewise suggest that diversity does not guarantee ecosystem stability—just the opposite, in fact. Amore complicated system is, in general, more likely than a simple system to break down. A fifteen-speed racing bicycle is more likely to break down than child’s tricycle.
7. Which of the following cane inferred from paragraph 5 about redwood forests?
○They become less stable as they mature.
○They support many species when they reach climax.
○They are found in temperate zones.
○They have reduced diversity duringmid-successional stages.
这个题目其实我在最初做的时候没有选出答案，因为A,B,D都明显有问题：A正好说反了，生态系统成熟之后会更稳定;B也不对，段落中已经明说红树林在顶峰时多样性已经下降了;D也正好跟文意相反，过渡时期是生态系统多样性处于顶峰的时间。但是最初我觉得C似乎没被提到过，于是就没选出来，后来才发现了专讲红树林的那句与上句之间有个坑人的“for example”的关系，于是红树林肯定是属于上一句所提到的temperate zone里的，C选项正确。
【例4】Paragraph 2: One of the most puzzling aspects of the paintings is their location. Other rock paintings—for example, those of Bushmen in South Africa—are either located near cave entrances or completely in the open. Cave paintings in France and Spain, however, are in recesses and caverns far removed from original cave entrances. This means that artists were forced to work in cramped spaces and without sources of natural light. It also implies that whoever made them did not want them to be easily found. Since cave dwellers normally lived close to entrances, there must have been some reason why so many generations of Lascaux cave dwellers hid their art.
5. What can be inferred from paragraph 2 about cave painters in France and Spain?
○They also painted rocks outside caves.
○They did not live close tithe cave entrances.
○They developed their own sources of light to use while painting.
○Their painting practices did not last for many years.
此题似乎异常简单，段落中有一句“This means that artists were forced to work in cramped spaces and without sources of natural light.”画家们作画的时候必须在狭窄的、没有自然光源的空间里作画，于是推断出西班牙与法国的壁画画家已经是有某种自然光源以外的光源，C选项正确。
以上就是前程百利小编为考生带来的托福阅读推断题的解题重点在于理清逻辑的相关介绍。考生在托福阅读中，遇到的不只是仅仅考察细节的题目，像这一类题目就需要考生关注句子之间的关系。预祝大家托福考试取得好成绩!
