托福阅读文章总结题分值高,但往往考生拿不到这2分。其实,考生如果能够练习足够多的题目,就能发现一些高效解题的方法,比如这类题型的选项设置是有规律的,考生可以根据选项特征排除一些明显错误的选项或者确定一些正确选项来答题。前程百利小编通过例题为大家带来托福阅读文章总结题选项分析。
错误选项特点
错误选项多是文章中出现过,有明显依据的细节内容,细节标志往往是数字、具体年代、具体事物名称等;还会有部分选项是原文中没有依据的内容或者是有依据但是和文章内容矛盾的明显错误表述。比如TPO4 Cave Art in Europe中的文章总结题。六个选项如下:
1.Researchers have proposed several different explanations for the fact that animals were the most common subjects in the cave paintings.
2.The art of the cultural period that followed the Upper Paleolithic ceased to portray large game animals and focused instead on the kinds of animals that people of that period preferred to hunt.
3.Some researchers believe that the paintings found in France provide more explicit evidence of their symbolic significance than those found in Spain, southern Africa, and Australia.
4.The cave paintings focus on portraying animals without also depicting the natural environments in which these animals are typically found.
5.Some researchers have argued that the cave paintings mostly portrayed large animals that provided Upper Paleolithic people with meat and materials.
6.Besides cave paintings, Upper Paleolithic people produced several other kinds of artwork, one of which has been thought to provide evidence of complex thought.
选项分析:题目的正确选项是1.5.6。错误选项是2.3.4。其中可以从选项2中的关键词The art of the cultural period定位到第四段最后一句:But in that period, when getting food no longer depended on hunting large game animals (because they were becoming extinct), the art ceased to focus on portrayals of animals.这句话说明当人们的食物来源不再依赖于大型动物时,岩洞艺术便不再以描绘动物为主了。这里并没有提到focused instead on the kinds of animals that people of that period preferred to hunt,所以这个选项是原文中没有依据的内容;选项3错误是因为文中并未对法和其他国家的岩洞绘画的象征意义做比较,和选项2是同一类错误;选项4的依据来源于第三段第二句:The paintings rest on bare walls, with no backdrops or environmental trappings.这句话是一个具体的事实描述,属于细节内容。
正确选项特点
正确选项一般是某个段落的主旨或者是多个(2个为主)段落的总结内容。还是以上面题目为例。其中选项1中several different explanations是根据全文内容总结出来的,的确在第三段提出了2个解释、第四段利用研究结果说明了画动物的象征意义,也是一种解释,最后一段都提出了an interesting interpretation;选项5是对第四段内容的总结,说明绘画者喜欢食用的动物或喜欢用作兽皮的动物是岩洞画中经常被描绘的动物,所以正确;选项6是最后一段的文章大意,第六段介绍了除了洞穴绘画以外的旧石器时代晚期的艺术形式。
