托福閱讀考試中一大難點(diǎn)是長難句解析,其中句子簡化題對長難句的解答進(jìn)行了重點(diǎn)考察,如何解答托福閱讀句子簡化題呢?
托福閱讀句子簡化題提問方式:
要被簡化的句子已經(jīng)用陰影標(biāo)出,然后提出下列問題:
Which of the sentences below best expresses the essential information in
the highlighted sentence in the passage? In correct choices change the meaning
in important ways or leave out essential information.
托福閱讀句子簡化題正確選項(xiàng)特征:
Express the essential information ——必保留主要信息。
托福閱讀句子簡化題解題步驟:
1、找原句邏輯
找邏輯連接詞詞,常見邏輯連接詞:
轉(zhuǎn)折:but, however, yet, nevertheless
讓步:although,though,even though, despite,in spite of
比較對比:more/less than, as…as , while, whereas, unlike
條件:if, only if, except, unless, provide that, as long as。
因果: because (of) ,since, as, why, for, therefore, hence, thus,
consequently, lead to, as a result (of),result in, result from, reason, A
contribute to B, attribute/ascribe A to B, explain, come from, so A that B,A be
responsible for B
2、找原句主干
誰做什么,誰是什么(一般刪掉修飾語:定語從句,介詞短語結(jié)構(gòu),時(shí)間地點(diǎn)狀語)
注意:若兩個(gè)句子有對比關(guān)系,因?yàn)閮蓚(gè)分句中被比較的事物本質(zhì)可能都差不多,所以表修飾的定語從句才是關(guān)鍵,這時(shí)候定語時(shí)關(guān)鍵。
3、對比選項(xiàng)選答案
排除有明顯與主要信息矛盾的選項(xiàng)了,排除無中生有的邏輯。
