托福閱讀推斷題的考察近年來呈上升趨勢。面對托福閱讀的推斷題時(shí),要提前掌握其結(jié)構(gòu)與解題方法,才能不至于慌張。
眾所周知托福閱讀考試當(dāng)中有10大類題型,除了圖表題近年來很少看到之外,其它9類題型在考試三篇文章中均會出現(xiàn)。如果大家在托福備考的過程當(dāng)中對于這些題型沒有了解其結(jié)構(gòu)以及解題方法,那么對托福閱讀考試提分是非常不利的。今天小編就為大家?guī)硗懈i喿x10大題型之一 【推斷題】的解題技巧,托福閱讀推理題,每篇總是會有1-2道,在最新TPO中,此類推理題呈現(xiàn)上升趨勢,一次考試總共有5-6道。
所謂【托福閱讀推理題】,就是所需要的信息都包含在文章中,但是沒有直接加以說明,需要考生從已知中推出。官方指南是這樣說的:對于文中強(qiáng)烈暗示而未明確表述信息的識別和理解”。其中,強(qiáng)烈暗示,即原文中給定的信息與正確答案的信息緊密相連,但含蓄間接,所以推斷題不僅需要同學(xué)們學(xué)會快速定位,還需要大家能夠正確分析文中相關(guān)內(nèi)容,集合文章提供信息推理出合理選項(xiàng)。我們先來說說怎么定義一道題是推斷題,其實(shí)推斷題往往題干中會包含“infer、suggest、imply、indicate”一些單詞。
一、出題形式如下:
l Which of the following can be inferred about X?
l The author of the passage implies that X…?
總的來說,推斷題的解題技巧分為正向推理和逆向推理;今天小編主要給大家介紹托福閱讀推斷題的正向推理法。
二、正向推理
最終答案所描述的特質(zhì)與文章所描述的特質(zhì)一致。這種一致性往往體現(xiàn)為“整體”和“部分”特質(zhì)一致,因此“正向推理”也叫做“整體與部分推理”。話不多說,看例題:
練習(xí):TPO 2-P2
Another major discovery was made in Egypt in 1989. Several skeletons of another early whale, Basilosaurus, were found in sediments left by the Tethys Sea and now exposed in the Sahara desert. This whale lived around 40 million years ago, 12 million years after Pakicetus. Many incomplete skeletons were found but they included, for the first time in an archaeocyte, a complete hind leg that features a foot with three tiny toes. Such legs would have been far too small to have supported the 50-foot-long Basilosaurus on land. Basilosaurus was undoubtedly a fully marine whale with possibly nonfunctional, or vestigial, hind legs.
Question:
It can be inferred that Basilosaurus bred and gave birth in which of the following locations
A. On land
B. Both on land and at sea
C. In shallow water
D. In a marine environment
解析:
↓掃讀原文,沒有提及關(guān)于 “bred and gave birth”的相關(guān)信息;因此需要推斷。
↓但是原文提到 “Basilosaurus was undoubtedly a fully marine whale”.
↓“fully marine whale” 屬于整體性質(zhì); “bred and gave birth”是部分性質(zhì);
↓“部分”應(yīng)該具備“整體”性質(zhì);因此“bred and gave birth”同樣是“fully marine”
因此此題正確答案為 D。
小伙伴們理解了么?如果停留在看的階段,一直沒有去做去實(shí)施,那效果必然不盡如人意,實(shí)踐出真知。
