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(duì)隊(duì)長(zhǎng)柳杉小姐姐, 我們繼續(xù)句插探索之旅.

簡(jiǎn)短回顧一下, 上次我們總結(jié)出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. 同時(shí),也領(lǐng)略了第一類線索, 代詞指代. 那么,今天我們來(lái)探究第二類線索, 邏輯關(guān)系. 邏輯關(guān)系詞的作用是連貫句子。常見(jiàn)的邏輯關(guān)系如下:

a.  因果關(guān)系詞：because, therefore, thus, consequently, so, as a result...

b.  對(duì)比轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系詞：however, on the contrary, nevertheless, , in contrast, while, although,but...

c.  并列或遞進(jìn)關(guān)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(guān)系詞：similarly, likewise, like, as...as, ...

e.  舉例關(guān)系詞：for example, for instance, including, such as...

我們一起來(lái)看下面這個(gè)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(zhuǎn)折詞however, 那么可以判斷前面的句子應(yīng)該和插入的句子意思相反. 待插入句子有些現(xiàn)代建筑設(shè)計(jì)正在再次統(tǒng)一骨骼和皮膚.

回到原文看句子, A選項(xiàng)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(xiàng)討論equipment和插入句無(wú)關(guān). 我們注意到C選項(xiàng)后句主語(yǔ)是early architecture,正好和插入句的modern architectural designs相反, 判斷應(yīng)該是答案.進(jìn)一步進(jìn)行驗(yàn)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(shuō)明本句應(yīng)該是前一句的例子,對(duì)前句的觀點(diǎn)進(jìn)行解釋說(shuō)明. 本句的意思是這就能解釋plants 能夠在6180米高的地方生長(zhǎng), 判斷前句應(yīng)該是討論植物能夠在這么高的環(huán)境生長(zhǎng)所需的條件. 原文A選項(xiàng)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(xiàng)前的句子講解了陽(yáng)光融化了巖石上的雪滴,這給植物的生長(zhǎng)創(chuàng)造了條件, 確定答案是D選項(xiàng).

好噠, 柳杉小姐姐本次的句子插入題講解結(jié)束, 現(xiàn)在進(jìn)入休息時(shí)間,大家及時(shí)補(bǔ)充物質(zhì)和精神食糧哦.
