对于准备考托福的同学来说,不知道准备得怎么样呢?今天就和出国留学网的小编一起来看看如何攻克托福阅读句子简化题?
句子简化题的考察形式非常容易识别,我们会在原文一段话中看到被“高亮”出的一个句子:
Paragraph 9: The relative amount of these two kinds of water varies greatly from one kind of rock or sediment to another, even though their porosities may be the same. What happens depends on pore the pores are large, the water in them will exist as drops too heavy for surface tension to hold, and it will drain away; but if the pores are small enough, the water in them will exist as thin films, too light to overcome the force of surface tension holding them in place; then the water will be firmly held.
然后结合这个句子问这样一个问题:
Which of the sentences below best expresses the essential information in the highlighted sentence in the passage? Incorrect choices change the meaning in important ways or leave out essential information.
如何攻克句子简化题呢?
首先,既然题目让我们选择与原句句意相同的选项,那就必须要保证能够读懂题目和各个选项句子的意思。切记,看懂才能做题,看不懂句子不要谈提高正确率。
看懂题目句子,在做这种题的时候可能还会在如下两点出现错误:
句子太长、信息太多,在判断选项的时候容易被选项拐跑,忘记了原句准确的意思,勿中干扰选项的陷阱。
对于原句和选项的改写判断错误,错选意思与原句不相符的答案
问题1:句子太长、信息太多,在判断选项的时候容易被选项拐跑,忘记了原句准确的意思,勿中干扰选项的陷阱。
这个问题可以通过以下这个方式来解决。读完句子后、判断选项前,我们尝试着把刚看完的这个长长的句子“分层”。所谓的分层,是根据连接词将长句子中的几个分句分别挑出来,单独来看。就好像把一个蛋糕分成小块,吃起来才比较方便。之后,判断每个选项时,也将选项进行分层。我们要将原句的每一块“蛋糕”,和选项的每一块“蛋糕”分别进行比对,来判断该选项是否与原文一致。同时,除了判断每一个分句句意是否对应,也要判断连接分句的连接词是否也能构成对应的改写。
