　　托福阅读中的细节题其实不难，但前提是定位的点要对，比如下面这个例题：

　　Two species of deer have been prevalent in the Puget Sound area of Washington State in the Pacific Northwest of the United States. The black-tailed deer, a lowland, west-side cousin of the mule deer of eastern Washington, is now the most common. The other species, the Columbian white-tailed deer, in earlier times was common in the open prairie country, it is now restricted to the low, marshy islands and flood plains along the lower Columbia River.

　　According to paragraph 1, which of the following is true of the white-tailed deer of Puget Sound?

　　A. It is native to lowlands and marshes.

　　B. It is more closely related to the mule deer of eastern Washington than to other types of deer.

　　C. It has replaced the black-tailed deer in the open prairie.

　　D. It no longer lives in a particular type of habitat that it once occupied.

　　这是一个典型的细节题，在该题题干中，有的考生会选择Puget Sound作为关键词回原文定位，因为它是专有名词，在文中会比较显眼。但是如果一旦选择了这个地名，势必会定位在该段的第一句话，托福细节题往往是定位在哪句就在哪句找答案，这样的话考生是选不出正确答案的，因为定位不精确。其实正确的关键词应该是white-tailed deer，这个用连字符连接的词在文章中也是比较醒目的，按该词定位应是该段最后一句话。所以根据它的意思应该选D项。其中A项与原句意思不符，B和C都与定位句信息无关。我们再来看另外一个否定事实细节题的例子：

　　Plant communities assemble themselves flexibly, and their structure depends on the particular history of the area. Ecologists use the term “succession” to refer to the changes that happen in plant communities and ecosystems over time. The first community in a succession is called a pione...

　　考生的任务是在托福阅读所给出的选项中，选出一个与文章中某相应句子建立对应关系。

　　下文中会有比较详细的分析：

　　例题：

　　Passage：…Sculptures must, for example, be stable, which requires an understanding of the properties of mass, weight distribution, and stress. Paintings must have rigid stretchers so that the canvas will be taut, and the paint must not crack, deteriorate, or discolor. These are problems that must be overcome by the artist because they tend to intrude upon his or her conception of the work. For example, in the early Italian Renaissance, bronze statues of horses with a raised foreleg usually had a cannonball under that hoof. This was done because the cannonball was needed to support the weight of the leg. In other words, the demand of the laws of physics, not the sculptor’s aesthetic intentions, placed the ball there. That this device was a necessary structural compromise is clear from the fact that the cannonball disappeared when sculptors learned how to strengthen the internal structure of a statue with iron braces (iron being much stronger than bronze)…

　　According to paragraph 2, sculptors in the Italian Renaissance stopped using cannonballs in bronze statues of horses because

　　A. they began using a material that made the statues weigh less

　　B. they found a way to strengthen the statues internally

　　C. the aesthetic tastes of the public had changed over time

　　D. the cannonballs added too much weight to the statues

　　正确答案是B。

　　推断题最关键的本质就是作者强烈暗示，但是绝不明说。按理说美国人应该比较喜欢直来直去，但是人家也会偶尔在考试的时候用用犹抱琵琶半遮面，出个推断题来考考你。在推断题中最常考的就是否定关系和比较关系的推断。比如说“不像海獭，想象一下早期的鲸鱼长什么样子很不容易”，就是告诉你，想象一下早期的海獭长什么样子其实比较容易。或者说“在1815年后，工匠们制作工艺品追求速度胜过看重质量”，关键就是要暗示你在1815年前，工匠们更加看重工艺品的质量。因此推断题的解题难度要略高于细节题，因为考生不仅要理解原文的意思，还要据此来做一步逻辑上的推断，这就从纯粹考查客观的题目上升到了考查作者主观方面的高度，从哲学上来讲，可是好大的一步呢!但是关键是这一步推断又不能走得太远，一步足矣，推两步就错了，因此推断的度很不好把握。我们中国的同学，逻辑思维能力好的人，往往思维跳得太快，自己推理推了不止一步，选错了会觉得很委屈。这也是我们同学不太喜欢的一种题型。

　　1、修辞目的题的两种考察形式：

　　在阅读考试中，这类题目有两种不同的考察形式：一种是给出修辞手段问目的，另一种是给出修辞目的问手段。

　　其常见的题目形式如下：

　　The author uses X as an example of…

　　Why does the author mention X?

　　Why does the author compare … to …?

　　Why does the author use the word … in discussing…?

　　The author discusses X in paragraph X in order to…

　　The author uses X as an example of…

　　2、解题技巧

　　找出这些修辞方法所用的关键词，例如定义中所用的同位语;描述事物大小、形状的形容词和名词;举例用的词，如，for instance，for example， in other words;用来解释的词语，如because， this is why， due to等。

　　我们来看一个例子：

　　One of the most puzzling aspects of the paintings is their location. Other rock paintings，for example, those of Bushmen in South Africa are either located near cave entrances or completely in the open. Cave paintings in France and Spain, however, are in recesses and caverns far removed from original cave entrances.

　　Why does the author mention Bushmen in South Africa in paragraph 2?

　　To suggest that ancient artists from all over the world painted animals on rocks

　　To contrast the location of their rock paintings to those found at Lascaux

　　To support the claim that early artists worked in cramped spaces

　　To give an example of other artists who painted in hidden locations

　　首先分析问题题目，找出其中的关键词：Bushmen in South Africa。之后回到原文看其前后的句子，找到原文的关键词for example，通过分析知道，这一例子的目的是为了说明它前面的那句话，即这些绘画的位置令人费解。作者以对比的手法来说明这一点：Bushmen in South Africa的绘画常位于洞口或洞外，而法国和西班...
