托福閱讀修辭題技巧

托福閱讀修辭題技巧，很多同學(xué)對(duì)于這個(gè)問題有疑問和不解，那么下面就跟著中國(guó)教育在線的小編詳細(xì)了解一下吧。

托福閱讀中的修辭含義更廣泛,據(jù)官方指南的說法,修辭在這里指的是有效寫作或演講的藝術(shù),也就是說,一個(gè)特定的信息可能是為了給一些舉例子,下定義,或者說明、解釋、批評(píng)、反駁、強(qiáng)調(diào)某個(gè)觀點(diǎn)。

它可以是一個(gè)單詞，一個(gè)句子，甚至一個(gè)段落。即：Why does the author mention X in the paragraph 1? 或者是What is the author's primary purpose in paragraph 1?

因此，根據(jù)具體的信息可以是一個(gè)詞、一個(gè)句子甚至一段話以及修辭目的題的提問方式，我們可以將 修辭目的題分為兩類。第一小類：某個(gè)段落內(nèi)某個(gè)具體信息在一個(gè)段落中的作用;第二小類：某個(gè)段落在整篇文章中的作用。我們先來看第一小類題。

根據(jù)第一類題的特點(diǎn)，我們將這類題的解決技巧歸納為以下三個(gè)步驟:關(guān)鍵詞定位、分析句群、核對(duì)選項(xiàng)。

關(guān)鍵詞定位，根據(jù)標(biāo)題中提到的具體信息找到其在原文中的位置;分析句群，找到具體信息后，閱讀具體信息所在的句子及其上下句，找到具體信息支持的觀點(diǎn);核對(duì)選項(xiàng)，觀點(diǎn)是正確的答案。讓我們結(jié)合示例來看看這三個(gè)步驟是如何工作的。

例題1：Passage Excerpt: Sensitivity to physical laws is thus an important consideration for the maker of applied-art objects. It is often taken for granted that this is also true for the maker of fine-art objects. This assumption misses a significant difference between the two disciplines. Fine-art objects are not constrained by the laws of physics in the same way that applied-art objects are. 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.

Why does the author discuss the bronze statues of horses created by artists in the early Italian Renaissance?

To provide an example of a problem related to the laws of physics that a fine artist must overcome.

To argue that fine artists are unconcerned with the laws of physics.

To contrast the relative sophistication of modern artists in solving problems related to the laws of physics.

To note an exceptional piece of art constructed without the aid of technology.

首先我們根據(jù)題干中的關(guān)鍵詞“in the early Italian Renaissance”定位到“For example, in the early Italian Renaissance, bronze statues of horses with a raised foreleg usually had a cannonball under that hoof.”這一句話。

在讀懂這一句話后，我們發(fā)現(xiàn)這句話中有一個(gè)“for example”。很顯然，作者寫這一句是為了支撐前文提到的一個(gè)觀點(diǎn)，而觀點(diǎn)就是它的前一句話“These are problems that must be overcome by the artist because they tend to intrude upon his or her conception of the work.”最后根據(jù)我們對(duì)觀點(diǎn)句的理解，核對(duì)選項(xiàng)。因此本題答案是第一個(gè)選項(xiàng)。

第二小類題目問的是關(guān)于段落在文章中的作用。我們知道文章中段落的目的是支持整篇文章，換句話說，該段的大意必須符合該文章的大意。

為了找到段落的大意，核對(duì)選項(xiàng)。我們?cè)俳Y(jié)合例子來看看這兩個(gè)步驟。

例題2：Passage Excerpt: Observational assessment techniques have become much more sophisticated, reducing the limitations just presented. Film analysis of the infant‘s responses, heart and respiration rate monitors, and nonnutritive sucking devices are used as effective tools in understanding infant perception. As stimuli were presented, changes in the infant's sucking behavior were recorded. Increases in the number of sucks were used as an indicator of the infant's attention to or preference for a given visual display.

What is the author's primary purpose in paragraph 3?

To explain why researchers must conduct more than one type of study when they are attempting to understand infant perception.

To describe new techniques for observing infant perception that overcome problems identified in the previous paragraph.

To present and evaluate the conclusions of various studies on infant perception.

To point out the strengths and weaknesses of three new methods for quantifying an infant's reaction to stimuli.

讀完這一段后，應(yīng)該很容易就能理解這一段的大意，也就是這一段的第一句話。根據(jù)第一句的意思，我們可以很快找到正確的答案，即第二選項(xiàng)。

關(guān)于“托福閱讀修辭題技巧”以及相關(guān)內(nèi)容，這篇文章中國(guó)教育在線小編先介紹到這里了，如果你還想關(guān)注更多，那么可以繼續(xù)接著關(guān)注其他文章了解。
