1.托福阅读句子插入题真题实例分析
了解了基本的解题思路原则后,接下来小编再带大家看两道插入题真题实例来具体实践一下这些方法技巧:
实例1
Question 1: Examine the four █ in the selection below and indicate at which block the following sentence could be inserted into the passage:
Seagrasses grow together in dense patches, or beds, with as many as 4,000 blades per square meter.
Many areas of the shallow sea bottom are covered with a lush growth of aquatic flowering plants adapted to live submerged in seawater. █ [A]These plants are collectively called seagrasses. █ [B] Seagrass beds are strongly influenced by several physical factors. █ [C] The most significant is water motion: currents and waves. █ [D] Since seagrass systems exist in both sheltered and relatively open areas, they are subject to differing amounts of water motion.
这道题目适用的是上文介绍的第一条原则,也就是判断句子成分。大家可以发现,插入句本身是包含了带有数字内容的具体细节的,这就说明这个插入句所在位置不太会在很靠前的地方,至少A的位置肯定不行。然后再做具体分析。空格A之后的句子给了seagrass一个定义,是这个词第一次出现在本段落中。而空格B之后的这个句子则讲到了seagrass bed的细节,而bed这个词也出现在了插入句中,那么比较合理的逻辑顺序就是先定义了seagrass,然后插入句提到了seagrass bed,之后再讲了bedd的一些细节。这样一来,很明显插入句应该插入的正确位置就是B了。
实例2
Question 2: Examine the four █ in the selection below and indicate at which block the following sentence could be inserted into the passage:
Thanks to radiocarbon dating and technological development in studying evidence, researchers can now give a more precise age on this type of art.
█ [A]The age of rock art in Australia has been revised several times, with earlier dates suggested recently after new discoveries. █ [B] Accurate scientific proof has dated the first appearance of surface rock in Australia to approximately 30,000 to 50,000 years ago. █ [C]This lengthy and astounding history of rock art in Australia makes it the oldest art tradition known today in the world. █ [D]
这道题目的解题需要用到上文的第二和第三条原则。首先是代词指代原则,插入句中有个this type of art,这说明插入句之前应该是有个指代的,那就可以判断出插入句肯定不是在句首A位置,因此B,C,D皆有可能,而由于B和D之前的句子里都提到了rock art,所以这两个位置的可能性更高。接下来看第三条原则,插入句句首有个thanks to,而句子里还有个now和more precise,这些线索放在一起,就等于告诉了考生插入句之前的句子,说的肯定是过去(和now相对)而且不怎么precise的事情,这样一对照,B空格之前的这个句子,既有has been revised several times这种不precise同时代表过去的内容,又有after new discoveries这样接下来要说新内容的提示,插入句子所在的位置就是B了。
