在托福備考的過程中,很多考生覺得自己為閱讀能力不錯(cuò),但是實(shí)際考出來的分?jǐn)?shù)只有22分左右。22分瓶頸難以突破的主要的原因,就是沒有找到精準(zhǔn)的難點(diǎn)定位。本期通過句子插入題的解決方法,來分析一下考試中如何應(yīng)對(duì)這類題型的解答。
1. 解題要點(diǎn):
(1).掌握銜接詞是解答插入句子題的關(guān)鍵,對(duì)解答這類問題非常重要,因?yàn)樗抢斫馍舷挛暮瓦@個(gè)句子的邏輯關(guān)系的核心。銜接詞主要包括代詞(指示代詞,例如this, these their, it, such,another,這些通常是上文提到過的,所以可以采用就近原則來做。);
(2). 關(guān)鍵同義詞
(3).重復(fù)出現(xiàn)的形容詞、副詞和名詞;
(4). 表示因果、轉(zhuǎn)折等關(guān)系的過渡詞語(yǔ):如therefore, so, however, as a result, consequently, on the contrary, however 等;
(5). 遞進(jìn)擴(kuò)展詞:如furthermore, also, as well, too, in addition, moreover, besides, even, additionally等;
(6). 結(jié)構(gòu)配對(duì)詞:如on the one hand…. on the other hand,some…others;
(7).表示順序的詞,如first, second , third等。
2. 例題分析:
【1】But there is also another special kind of conversational flow among Southern women that contributed to their writing.【2】Some of their talk took the form of tales and vignettes told for their own sake.【3】Sometimes humorous, sometimes sad; all were as bright as the figures in the fine needle point.【4】

A. Position 1
B. Position2
C. Position 3
D. Position 4
解題步驟:
(1). 理解要插入的句子:These tales included grotesque, comic, and poetic descriptions, character sketches, and narratives, gusts of feeling, delicate ironies, and astute observations. 我們看這個(gè)句子是主、謂、賓結(jié)構(gòu),其中賓語(yǔ)為一些列的并列名詞和短語(yǔ)。
(2). 尋找銜接詞:這個(gè)句子的銜接詞為:These tales
(3). 分析這個(gè)句子和上下文的關(guān)系:位置1不可能,因?yàn)樗竺娴木渥邮钦擖c(diǎn)句,而要插入的句子為屬于論據(jù);然后看位置2,這里出現(xiàn)了和我們要加入句子一樣的信息點(diǎn)“Some of their talk took the form of tales and vignettes told for their own sake.”,顯然句子放在位置2也不可以;位置3后面的句子是對(duì)其前面句子for their own sake的進(jìn)一步解釋。所以最合適的只能是位置4;
(4). 把這個(gè)句帶入各個(gè)位置;
(5). 檢查每個(gè)位置,位置4是最恰當(dāng)?shù)?
解決托福閱讀插入句子題的一個(gè)便利小竅門就是把握五大解題步驟,其中理解需要插入句子的結(jié)構(gòu)、找出銜接詞是解題是關(guān)鍵,解題同時(shí)要注意整個(gè)段落的結(jié)構(gòu)以及上下文邏輯關(guān)系。
