托福閱讀之句子插入題分析系列之一

 句子插入題就是將一個(gè)新句子插入原文4個(gè)句子里合適的地方, 待插入的句子在原文中起到承上啟下的作用。201908托福新政策減少了每篇文章的題目個(gè)數(shù), 比如事實(shí)信息題和詞匯題,也有考場下來的寶寶講句子簡化題也減少了(小聲bb), 然而句子插入題的地位并未被弱化, 這種題型是我們想取得閱讀25+必須要快準(zhǔn)克服的題目, 那么接下來柳杉老師就帶你開啟句插題征服之旅.

開門見山, 想解決這種題型必須找到待插入句子中的線索, 然后驗(yàn)證該句在原文中是否起到承上啟下作用.

找線索, 驗(yàn)證是否承上啟下.

Paragraph 1: Extinct but already fully marine cetaceans are known from the fossil record. █How was the gap between a walking mammal and a swimming whale bridge d? █Missing until recently were fossils clearly intermediate, or transitional, between land mammals and cetaceans.█Very exciting discoveries have finally allowed scientists to reconstruct the most likely origins of cetaceans. █In 1979, a team looking for fossils in northern Pakistan found what proved to be the oldest fossil whale.

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

This is a question that has puzzled scientists for ages.

Where would the sentence best fit?

觀察待插入句子This is a question that has puzzled scientists for ages.發(fā)現(xiàn)指示代詞this, this is a question確定前面句子中要出現(xiàn)一個(gè)問題, 回原文分析時(shí)發(fā)現(xiàn)B選項(xiàng)就是個(gè)特殊疑問句,此刻, 你是不是特別開心的認(rèn)為找到答案了, 等下等下, 你是不是忘了進(jìn)行驗(yàn)證. 

找線索, 驗(yàn)證是否承上啟下.

找線索, 驗(yàn)證是否承上啟下.

找線索, 驗(yàn)證是否承上啟下.

嚴(yán)肅臉, 大家一定不要武斷, 一定要在作出初步判斷后進(jìn)行上下文驗(yàn)證.

This is a question that has puzzled scientists for ages.本句有個(gè)以question為先行詞的定語從句, 意思較直白, 這是個(gè)困擾科學(xué)家多年的問題. 我們回到原文看B之后的句子Missing until recently were fossils 表語倒裝的句子, 正常語序fossils were missing until recently, 化石一直沒有直到最近才發(fā)現(xiàn), 剛好和待插入的句子困擾科學(xué)家多年相銜接.

此刻, 我們驗(yàn)證后,才能確定這是正確答案.再來一個(gè)類似題目.

Paragraph 4: Apart from statues representing deities, kings, and named members of the elite that can be called formal, there is another group of three-dimensional representations that depicts generic figures,   frequently servants, from the non-elite population. █The function of these is quite different. █Many are made to be put in the tombs of the elite in order to serve the tomb owners in the afterlife. █Unlike formal statues that are limited to static poses of standing, sitting, and kneeling, these figures depict a wide range of actions, such as grinding grain, baking bread, producing pots, and making music, and they are shown in appropriate poses, bending and squatting as they carry out their tasks. █

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

In fact, it is the action and not the figure itself that is important.

Where would the sentence best fit?

線索找到是定冠詞the action,回原文中閱讀發(fā)現(xiàn)只有D前句中出現(xiàn)了actions, 敲定答案就是D, 此刻無需做啟下的驗(yàn)證,因?yàn)槎温涞酱私Y(jié)束.

好噠, 柳杉小姐姐本次的句子插入題講解結(jié)束, 在這里斷章, 我們下次見.
