在托福阅读考试中，句子插入题是一道必考题，在整个托福阅读考试中，句子插入题出现的题目总数可能会在3-4个左右，那么在备考托福阅读考试中句子插入题的过程中，我们又应该从哪些方面入手准备呢?应该掌握哪些技巧和方法才能攻克这个题目呢?本次前程百利小编就来和大家分享一下托福阅读考试中句子插入题的解题技巧。
一.利用关联词
托福阅读考试中的文章往往都是从北美大学中本科生的教科书中来的，这也就意味着，在托福阅读考试中的文章一般前后关系都是比较紧密的，所以如果考生想要攻克这个题目，就应该掌握句子和句子之间的逻辑关系，而关联词恰恰是一个可以帮助考生实现这个目的的途径，所以考生在备考的过程中，如果在段落中或者要插入的句子中发现了not only….but also….;however; but; and; furthermore，for one thing等等词汇就一定要提起注意，要学会运用它们来答题。比如考生在回答TPO16Passage1中的第13题的时候，■Production was generally in the hands of skilled individual artisans doing piecework under the tutelage of a master who was also the shop owner. ■In these shops differences of rank were blurred as artisans and masters labored side by side in the same modest establishment, were usually members of the same guild and religious sect, lived in the same neighborhoods, and often had assumed (or real) kinship relationships. ■The worker was bound to the master by a mutual contract that either one could repudiate, and the relationship was conceptualized as one of partnership. ■
Look at the four squares [■] that indicate where the following sentence could be added to the passage.
For one thing, it created a demand for finished goods to be sold both locally and abroad. Where would the sentence best fit?
面对这个题目的时候，考生应该这样分析，在句子中出现了连词for one thing和名词finished goods，既然是for one thing，那么整句话应该是放在一个比较靠前的位置，所以C 和D都可以排除。，而如果放在A之前，正好对应了之前的several important consequences，而且finished goods与原文中的production正好相对应，所以A正确。
二.掌握指代关系
在托福阅读考试的句子插入题中，掌握句子和句子之间的指代关系也是可以帮助考生顺利答题的，因为代词是可以有效的把句子和句子连接起来的途径，所以小编认为，考生在做这个题目的时候，也要灵活的运用一些常见的指示代词比如this，that等等来答题。比如考生在回答TPO29passage1中的第13题Look at the four squares [■] that indicate where the following sentence could be added to the passage.
That is because residents of a city did not usually discard used pottery at the same site over a long period of time.
Where would the sentence best fit?的时候，就应该以that为突破口解题。考生在这里要插入的句子中出现了that is because，那么that肯定指代的是前文中的某个现象，然后要用插入的这句话进行解释，这个句子充当的是原因部分，所以前文中应该是结果。句子中的第一句话书很少有遗址可以表明这种陶器的产量，第二句话说但是有一个例外，那么就应该是先解释原因，再说例外的情况，that指代的就是第一句话中描述的选项，因此需要插入的是第二个空。
托福阅读考试中的句子插入题并没有考生想象的那么简单，因此小编建议考生在掌握以上信息的基础上，不断利用历年真题进行练习，争取在考试中取得高分。
