解析托福阅读如何在文中找到相应答案

刚刚更新 编辑: 浏览次数:190 移动端

托福阅读是托福考试必不可少的一部分,在托福考试中,考生们都关系托福考试阅读试题是来问托福阅读文章的哪个部分,其实在考试中,每道题也算是半个疑问句只要同学们能够在文中找到疑问句就好了。

据澳际教育介绍,我们知道一般提出问题后,紧接着后面的句子是问题的回答或者答案,但是托福阅读文章中也有好多句子不是那种自问自答式,而是反而对问题的进一步解释从而加强疑问,在解题中如果能分清句子是在回答问题还是加强疑问,便可迅速提高做托福阅读试题效率和准确率。

1 自问自答式也就是提出问题,后面句子给予回答,这个很简单,一般都不会出错。在这里就不一一列举了。

2 加强疑问

Example 1 TPO5-3 The Cambrian Explosion

Paragraph 2: Scientists have asked important questions about this explosion for more than a century. Why did it occur so late in the history of Earth? The origin of multicellular forms of life seems a relatively simple step compared to the origin of life itself.

译文:科学家提出的一些问题。为什么Cambrian Explosion在地球历史这么晚的时候才发生?相比生命的起源,多细胞动物的起源应该是很简单的一步才对。

很显然,这问号问句后面的句子不是在回答为什么出现晚的问题,反而是进一步在追问和强调问题,既然多细胞动物的起源相比生命起源更简单,为什么还那么晚出现呢?进一步质疑。

Example 2 TPO8-2 Extinction of the Dinosaurs

Paragraph 3: If true, though, why did cold-blooded animals such as snakes, lizards, turtles, and crocodiles survive the freezing winters and torrid summers? These animals are at the mercy of the climate to maintain a livable body temperature. It’s hard to understand why they would not be affected, whereas dinosaurs were lt too crippled to cope, especially if, as some scientists believe, dinosaurs were warm-blooded.

译文:如果真是这样(极端温度变化导致了恐龙的灭绝),那么为什么冷血动物,比如蛇类、蜥蜴、乌龟和鳄鱼却能够幸免于寒冬和酷夏呢?这些动物都是依赖于气温以使其身体保持适合生存的温度。很难理解它们为什么毫不受影响,然而恐龙却如此的无能以至于无法适应,尤其是有些科学家认为恐龙是热血动物。

理解了句子含义,解题便很简单了,如下所示Q3。

Q3. Why does the author mention the survival of “snakes, lizards, turtles, and crocodiles” in paragraph 3?

To argue that dinosaurs may have become extinct because they were not cold-blooded animals

To question the adequacy of the hypothesis that climatic change related to sea levels caused the extinction of the dinosaurs

To present examples of animals that could maintain a livable body temperature more easily than dinosaurs

To support a hypothesis that these animals were not as sensitive to climate changes in the Cretaceous period as they are today

托福阅读解析:题目问问为什么作者要提及蛇,蜥蜴,海龟和鳄鱼的幸存。先通过snakes, lizards, turtles and crocodiles定位到段首句,这句说如果是对的,那么为什么这些动物可以在寒冬炎夏幸存呢。If true,说的是之前的内容,也就是上一段说的极端气候变化引起恐龙灭绝的理论如果是对的,though表示转折,所以通过这个问句,可以看出来,如果理论是对的,那么这些动物也该灭绝了,既然它们幸存了,那说明是理论有问题,所以这句提出的问题就是在质疑前文观点的可靠性,答案选B。

A选项恐龙不是冷血动物所以才灭绝了,错误,原文表达的是冷血动物对气候更敏感,更不容易活,既然它们都活下来了,那理论就有问题了。

C说冷血动物比恐龙更容易保持身体温度,错误,应该是更难才对。

D选项说冷血动物对气候变化不如恐龙敏感,错误,应该是更敏感才对。
