托福阅读考试中一大难点是长难句解析,其中句子简化题对长难句的解答进行了重点考察,如何解答托福阅读句子简化题呢?
托福阅读句子简化题提问方式:
要被简化的句子已经用阴影标出,然后提出下列问题:
Which of the sentences below best expresses the essential information in
the highlighted sentence in the passage? In correct choices change the meaning
in important ways or leave out essential information.
托福阅读句子简化题正确选项特征:
Express the essential information ——必保留主要信息。
托福阅读句子简化题解题步骤:
1、找原句逻辑
找逻辑连接词词,常见逻辑连接词:
转折:but, however, yet, nevertheless
让步:although,though,even though, despite,in spite of
比较对比:more/less than, as…as , while, whereas, unlike
条件:if, only if, except, unless, provide that, as long as。
因果: because (of) ,since, as, why, for, therefore, hence, thus,
consequently, lead to, as a result (of),result in, result from, reason, A
contribute to B, attribute/ascribe A to B, explain, come from, so A that B,A be
responsible for B
2、找原句主干
谁做什么,谁是什么(一般删掉修饰语:定语从句,介词短语结构,时间地点状语)
注意:若两个句子有对比关系,因为两个分句中被比较的事物本质可能都差不多,所以表修饰的定语从句才是关键,这时候定语时关键。
3、对比选项选答案
排除有明显与主要信息矛盾的选项了,排除无中生有的逻辑。
解答托福阅读句子简化题一定要掌握好语法。
