托福阅读试题举例分析.pdf

智 课 网 托 福 备 考 资 料 托福阅读试题举例分析 在托福阅读的学习中运用例子来说明的方法是很多学生喜欢用的 因为托福阅读文章如果能抓住这一点也更好理解了 同时很多托福阅读 试题也是围绕着例子进行出题的 下面就来看看具体情况 如何更快更有效地进行托福阅读文章的理解是取得理想成绩的一个 很重要的因素 而句间关系的理解对于一个段落的把握有很大的决定因 素 托福阅读的文章都是学术性的文章 对于一个事情的说明 一个观 点的阐述 有时候是比较抽象的 作者会用具体想象的例子来证明 所 以 对于看不懂某个段落要讲述的内容时 如果这个段落有个例子 可 以通过例子来抓取这个段落的主要内容 同时 如果观点读懂了 例子 部分就不用看了 这样可以省去时间来做别的题目 因此 在遇到含有 例子的段落有两个方法来区别对待 结合自己的实际情况 下面我们来 看两个含有举例关系的段落 如何快速搞定 The particular symbolic significance of the cave paintings in southwestern France is more explicitly revealed perhaps by the results of a study conducted by researchers Patricia Rice and Ann Paterson The data they present suggest that the animals portrayed in the cave paintings were mostly the ones that the painters preferred for meat and for materials such as hides For example wild cattle bovines and horses are portrayed more often than we would expect by chance probably because they were larger and heavier meatier than other animals in the environment In addition the paintings mostly portray animals that the painters may have feared the most because of their size speed natural weapons such as tusks and horns and the unpredictability of their behavior That is mammoths bovines and horses are portrayed more often than deer and reindeer Thus the paintings are consistent with the idea that the art is related to the importance of hunting in the economy of Upper Paleolithic people Consistent with this idea according to the investigators is the fact that the art of the cultural period that followed the Upper Paleolithic also seems to reflect how people got their food 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 段落的第一句话是这个段落的主旨句 说研究表明 在法国西南的 岩洞画的特殊的象征的重要性更明确地表现了出来 如果这句话明白了 后面的文字可以省略不看 或者快速浏览来验证一下 第二句话的开 始 The data they present suggest that 是在用数据来支持前面的观点 紧接着第三句话就是一个For example 举例来说明前面的观点 例子说野牛和马画的比我们想象的要多 可 能是因为他们比别的动物更大肉更多 这个例子就是对岩洞画象征含义 的一个具体的例证 对于例子和段落主旨的核对是明确段落难于理解的 一个很好用的方法 Only recently have investigators considered using these plants to clean up soil and waste sites that have been contaminated by toxic levels of heavy metals an environmentally friendly approach known as phytoremediation This scenario begins with the planting of hyperaccumulating species in the target area such as an abandoned mine or an irrigation pond contaminated by runoff Toxic minerals would first be absorbed by roots but later relocated to the stem and leaves A harvest of the shoots would remove the toxic compounds off site to be burned or composted to recover the metal for industrial uses After several years of cultivation and harvest the site would be restored at a cost much lower than the price of excavation and reburial the standard practice for remediation of contaminated soils For examples in field trials the plant alpine pennycress removed zinc and cadmium from soils near a zinc smelter and Indian mustard native to Pakistan and India has been effective in reducing levels of selenium salts by 50 percent in contaminated soils 这个段落的例子和观点的具体情况和第一个段落是一样的 我们来 看一个和这个段落有关的托福阅读试题 第 12题 作者为什么要提到India mustard 这是一个修辞目的题 我们根据India mustard定位到倒数第三行 在这个句子的最开始的位置有个For exam ple 我们要找这个例子来说明的观点 前面的一句话说是说标准的修 复法和植物修复法的时间和费用方面的对比 例子是说植物修复的具体 有效性 这个的作用是平行的 需要看第一句主旨句 第一句说植物修 复法是什么 用例子来说明植物修复在实验研究发现确实是有效的 这 就是例子证明观点的一个实际运用 以上就是介绍了托福阅读文章中的举例说明问题 这对于托福阅读 试题的解决是很有帮助的 希望大家能掌握这种方法在以后的托福阅读 考试中得到一个好的成绩 智课留学服务团队拥有国内最为精英的咨询顾问 顾问团队由海内 外顶尖名校硕士博士和金融咨询实业界精英专家构成 全部咨询师毕业于 国内外一流大学 我们主要服务于美国名校或者奖学金申请的客户 我 们服务于智课六步曲 6大步骤 36个
