托福閱讀之句子插入題分析系列之二

 大家好, 我是托福句子插入題探索小分隊隊長柳杉小姐姐, 我們繼續(xù)句插探索之旅.

簡短回顧一下, 上次我們總結出想解決這種題型必須找到待插入句子中的線索, 然后驗證該句在原文中是否起到承上啟下作用. 同時,也領略了第一類線索, 代詞指代. 那么,今天我們來探究第二類線索, 邏輯關系. 邏輯關系詞的作用是連貫句子。常見的邏輯關系如下:

a.  因果關系詞：because, therefore, thus, consequently, so, as a result...

b.  對比轉折關系詞：however, on the contrary, nevertheless, , in contrast, while, although,but...

c.  并列或遞進關系詞：first, second, after that, afterwards, next, finally, furthermore, also, as well, too, in addition, moreover, besides, even, additionally, on the one hand... on the other hand, some...others

d.  比較關系詞：similarly, likewise, like, as...as, ...

e.  舉例關系詞：for example, for instance, including, such as...

我們一起來看下面這個題目.

Paragraph 5: █Modern architectural forms generally have three separate components comparable to elements of the human body; a supporting skeleton or frame, an outer skin enclosing the interior spaces, and equipment, similar to the body’s vital organs and systems. █The equipment includes plumbing, electrical wiring, hot water, and air-conditioning. █Of course in early architecture—such as igloos and adobe structures—there was no such equipment, and the skeleton and skin were often one. █

13．Look at the four squares [█] that indicate where the following sentence could be added to the passage.(4)

However, some modern architectural designs, such as those using folded plates of concreter or air-inflated structures, are again unifying skeleton and skin.

Where would the sentence best fit?

待插入的句子里有明顯的轉折詞however, 那么可以判斷前面的句子應該和插入的句子意思相反. 待插入句子有些現(xiàn)代建筑設計正在再次統(tǒng)一骨骼和皮膚.

回到原文看句子, A選項后仍然在講Modern architectural并首次提到skeleton和 skin,不符合邏輯線索要求.B選項討論equipment和插入句無關. 我們注意到C選項后句主語是early architecture,正好和插入句的modern architectural designs相反, 判斷應該是答案.進一步進行驗證,the skeleton and skin were often one和待插入句子里的 are again unifying skeleton and skin相吻合, 確定D就是正確答案.

例子二

Paragraph 5: Above the tree line there is a zone that is generally called alpine tundra. █Immediately adjacent to the timberline, the tundra consists of a fairly complete cover of low-lying shrubs, herbs, and grasses, while higher up the number and diversity of species decrease until there is much bare ground with occasional mosses and lichens and some prostrate cushion plants. █Some plants can even survive in favorable microhabitats above the snow line. The highest plants in the world occur at around 6,100 meters on Makalu in the Himalayas. █At this great height, rocks, warmed by the sun, melt small snowdrifts. █

13．Look at the four squares [█] that indicate where the following sentence could be added to the passage.

This explains how, for example, alpine cushion plants have been found growing at an altitude of 6,180 meters.

待插入句子中有明顯的 for example, 說明本句應該是前一句的例子,對前句的觀點進行解釋說明. 本句的意思是這就能解釋plants 能夠在6180米高的地方生長, 判斷前句應該是討論植物能夠在這么高的環(huán)境生長所需的條件. 原文A選項前后介紹客觀地理環(huán)境及此處存活的物種.BC和待插入句子有類似舉例功能,只有D選項前的句子講解了陽光融化了巖石上的雪滴,這給植物的生長創(chuàng)造了條件, 確定答案是D選項.

好噠, 柳杉小姐姐本次的句子插入題講解結束, 現(xiàn)在進入休息時間,大家及時補充物質和精神食糧哦.
