托福阅读句子插入题

下面隆重向你推荐句子插入题的几种常规思路和无耻技巧。

常规思路1

当插入句是代词 it they开头时,在每个空之前找是否有他们的指代对象,有的,就是正确的。可以借鉴指代题的思路。(具体的回去看type6指代题)

常规思路2

当插入句是指示代词This these such+名词开头时,找名词的同义概念。

常规思路3

如果开头是thus,however这些有逻辑的副词,按照逻辑关系选择

常规思路4

找小词,插入句中有another, other,also+名词,寻找这些名词的句子,然后通过句意判断插入句是在这个句子之前还是之后,一般是之前。

说明一点:对于插入题,无耻技巧是辅助我们做题的,是帮助我们排除选项的,所以先用常规思路解题才是王道!

无耻技巧1

在段落之前的空,必错,因为每段的中心都在第一句,如果把第一句改变了,也就改变句意了

无耻技巧2

空后有代词they it的,generally speaking,是不对的,代词不能跨距,如果在代词前面加一句话,就会改变代词的指代对象。但是有例外存在,比如这一段只有一个主语,就无法排除后有代词的选项,后面我会举例子!

无耻技巧3

优先考虑段落最后的空,注意,我说的是段落最后的,而不是最后一个空,有时候最后一个空在段中。因为放在最末尾,本身对文章没什么影响,所以,优先考虑这个空。

这种题的解题方法和指代题很像,要各种思路技巧融会贯通,灵活运用。看例子吧!

Eg1

Paragraph 1: Extinct but already fully marine cetaceans are known from the fossil record. ■How was the gap between a walking mammal and a swimming whale bridged? ■Missing until recently were fossils clearly intermediate, or transitional, between land mammals and cetaceans.■Very exciting discoveries have finally allowed scientists to reconstruct the most likely origins of cetaceans. ■In 1979, a team looking for fossils in northern Pakistan found what proved to be the oldest fossil whale.

12. Look at the four squares [■] that indicate where the following sentence can be added to the passage. This is a question that has puzzled scientists for ages.

Where would the sentence best fit?

我要你们铭记这道题,因为这道题无耻到了极致,指示代词this+名词,是第二种常规思路,找question的同意概念,有同学看完了四个空,说怎么没有问题的同意概念啊??!!再好好看看,第二个空之前那么明显的问号在那里!直接选第二个!对,就这么无耻

Eg2

Paragraph 7:■The raising of livestock is a major economic activity in semiarid lands, where grasses are generally the dominant type of natural vegetation. ■The consequences of an excessive number of livestock grazing in an area are the reduction of the vegetation cover and the trampling and pulverization of the soil. ■This is usually followed by the drying of the soil and accelerated erosion.■

12. Look at the four squares [■] that indicate where the following sentence can be added to the passage. This economic reliance on livestock in certain regions makes large tracts of land susceptible to overgrazing. Where would the sentence best fit?

还是指示代词this+名词,去前面找economic reliance on livestock的同意概念,先运用无耻技巧1排除第一个空,然后看第二个空之前也就是第一句,有livestock is a major economic activity,直接选第二个。

Eg3

Paragraph 6: ■Because they are always swimming, tunas simply have to open their mouths and water is forced in and over their gills. ■Accordingly, they have lost most of the muscles that other fishes use to suck in water and push it past the gills. ■In fact, tunas must swim to breathe. ■They must also keep swimming to keep from sinking, since most have largely or completely lost the swim bladder, the gas-filled sac that helps most other fish remain buoyant.

11. Look at the four squares [■l that indicate where the following sentence can be added to the passage. Consequently, tunas do not need to suck in water.

Where would the sentence best fit?

先看待插入的句子,Consequently,常规思路3,按照逻辑词的逻辑关系,先排除第一个空。看到第一句有because,认为第二个空可能对。再往后看,有同学说第二,第四空之后都有they,排除了选第三个。这就是我刚才提醒过的,当一段只有一个主语,或者说每句的主语都有一个词的时候,这种用其后后代词的排除法就失效了。看这段,每句的主语都是tunas,所以说,不能用代词排除了。

回到刚才的常规解法,运用逻辑关系,选择第二空!带入翻译一下,因为金枪鱼的经常游动,它们必须张着嘴使水流经它们的腮。因此,它们不需要吸水!

Eg4

Paragraph 6: Under very cold conditions, rocks can be shattered by ice and frost. Glaciers may form in permanently cold areas, and these slowly moving masses of ice cut out valleys, carrying with them huge quantities of eroded rock debris. █In dry areas the wind is the principal agent of erosion. █It carries fine particles of sand, which bombard exposed rock surfaces, thereby wearing them into yet more sand. █Even living things contribute to the formation of landscapes. █Tree roots force their way into cracks in rocks and, in so doing, speed their splitting. In contrast, the roots of grasses and other small plants may help to hold loose soil fragments together, thereby helping to prevent erosion by the wind.

11. Look at the four squares [■] that indicate where the following sentence could be added to the passage. Under different climatic conditions, another type of destructive force contributes to erosion.

Where would the sentence best fit?

看句子,another type,常规思路四,在空后寻找type of destructive force contributes to erosion. 的同意概念,第一个空,the wind is the principal agent of erosion. 就是。如果你不放心,往下看看吧,第二个,有it,无耻技巧二有代词者排除,第三个even,甚至,不符合逻辑。第四个,有their,代词,排除掉。

这类题就告一段落了,提醒一下大家,因为无论用常规思路和无耻技巧都是一种快速的手段,用这些方法的时候你都没怎么好好读句子,所以,选出来之后,一定要回头读一读,是否通顺。

托福阅读解题技巧-句子插入题(一)

托福阅读解题技巧-句子插入题(一) 托福阅读不同于传统阅读,其中包含了”句子插入题”这类特殊题型,这也是托福阅读中相对难得分的题型。此类题型中,题干中会给出一个新的句子,然后会在原文段落中给出四个黑框,考察新句子在文章中最合适的位置。针对于此类题型的解答,有很多实用的方法,今天我们要介绍的是在剩余时间不多的情况下,最简单最便捷的解决方法-语义指代匹配法。 在上下句的关联中,代词是最为紧密的一类词。当作者再次谈及上句相关话题时,为了避免重复,遵循语言学的最简单化原理,作者会用代词指代上文内容,常见指示代词this, that, these, those, 人称代词they, she, he, 或it ,还有their, such, another等。对于此类题型的具体解题步骤如下: ①确认指代对象:根据指代词找到其所指代的对象; ②定位指代对象:通过浏览扫描段落信息,确定指代对象位置; ③代入验证:把插入句代入含有指代对象所在句的后面进行验证即可。 接下来,我们通过具体实例来论证使用语义指代匹配法。 案例: Paragraph 1: Before 1815 manufacturing in the United States had been done in homes or shops by skilled artisans.■As master craft workers, they imparted the knowledge of their trades to apprentices and journeymen. ■In addition, women often worked in their homes part-time, making finished articles from raw material supplied by merchant capitalists. ■After 1815 this older form of manufacturing began to give way to factories with machinery tended by unskilled or semiskilled laborers. ■Cheap transportation networks, the rise of cities, and the availability of capital and credit all stimulated the shift to factory production. 11. Look at the four squares[■]that indicate where the following sentence can be added to the passage. This new form of manufacturing depended on the movement of goods to distant locations and a centralized source of laborers.

托福培训丨托福阅读句子插入题解题要点 朗阁托福培训中心孙亚楠 句子插入题是托福阅读中的一道必考题型,题量不多,每篇文章中出现一道。句子插入题是给出一句话让我们来判断这句话应该加入1-2个段落中的四个黑方块的哪个部分,用鼠标点击所选的黑色方块即可。做这类题目的关键首先是理解待插入的句子,寻找其中的衔接词,分析这个句子的特点和其在文中的作用,然后把这个句子带入原文中检验其是否合适。下面朗阁托福培训中心的专家将就句子插入题的解题步骤做出详细的说明。 解题步骤与解题要点 阅读并分析待插入的句子,找出其中的线索词; 从第一个小黑方块前一句开始读,逐一代入进行验证; 插入句必须满足前后两条线索,先前再后。(先用前线索再看后线索) 从此步骤中可以看出掌握线索词是解答此题的关键,那么线索词都有哪些?主要有两大类,指代线索和逻辑线索。 1. 指代线索 (1). 指代词(they, it, them)必然有所指代;指代词(this, these, their, other, another, such)后面若有名词短语,则向前寻找此名词短语或其同义改写。 例题1: Paragraph 4: Regularly flowing rivers and streams that originate within arid lands are known as "endogenous." These are generally fed by groundwater springs, and many issue from limestone massifs, such as the Atlas Mountains in Morocco. Basaltic rocks also support springs, notably at the Jabal Al-Arab on the Jordan-Syria border. ■Endogenous rivers often do not reach the sea but drain into inland basins, where the water evaporates or is lost in the ground.

新托福阅读之文本插入题解析 朗阁海外考试研究中心 南昌朗阁英语培训中心 文本插入题(Insert Text Questions)是新托福每次必考题型,每次题量不是很多,通常每篇文章0-1个左右。 问题形式: 在这类问题中,题目中给出一个新的句子,然后要求考生们利用文章的逻辑和句子之间的语法联系(比如代词的指代)来确定此句子在文章中最合适的位置。 注意:在文章中会出现四个黑色的方块,这些方块分布在句首或句末。四个方块有时都出现在一个段落中,有时分布在一段的末尾和下一段的开头。 Look at the four squares (■) that indicate where the following sentences could be added to the passage. (考生会看到一个黑体的句子) Where would the sentence best fit? 考生要做的是点击其中的一个方块,将这个句子插入文章。 解题步骤: 1. 读被插入的句子,找出句首或句尾的关键词或关键意思 2. 阅读可以插入方块前后的信息,寻找与插入句相关的意思 3. 选择与插入句最相关的方块 注意:如果出现以下情况,答案都可能是错误的:

★打乱了相邻句子之间的逻辑性 ★影响了转折语的正确使用 ★打乱了代词与其指代对象之间的逻辑关系 ★隔开了本是相邻的两句话 解题技巧: 1. 利用一些过渡词(如某些逻辑关系词或短语等)帮助确定插入句子的位置,或者帮助确定排除不适合的位置。 Much of the water in a sample of water-saturated sediment or rock will drain from it if the sample is put in a suitable dry place.█But some will remain, clinging to all solid surfaces.█It is held there by the force of surface tension without which water would drain instantly from any wet surface, leaving it totally dry.█ The total volume of water in the saturated sample must therefore be thought of as consisting of water that can, and water that cannot, drain away.█ Look at the four squares [█] that indicate where the following sentence could be added to the passage. What, then, determines what proportion of the water stays and what proportion drains away? Where would the sentence best fit? Click on a square to add the sentence to the passage. 技巧分析:首先读被插入的句子,它能给出的线索就是,该句子后面的信息应该是讲述“决定流干的水和不能流干的水的含量的因素”。读文中四个方块前后的信息,第一个方块前面的句子和后面的句子用关系逻辑词“but”连接,形成转折关系,不可插入其他内容;第二个方块后面的句子中出现“it”, 指代方块前面句子中的“some”, 插入其他内容会导致指代混乱,因此不可插入句子;第三个方块前后的信息用逻辑关系词“therefore”衔接,形成因果关系,也不可以插入其他内容,因此我们可以把被插入句子放在第四个方块那儿。如果考生们不确定,可以进一步读下一段中第一句

托福阅读: 阅读句子插入题型具体解析 对于托福考生来说,了解托福阅读题型是非常关键的,托福阅读题型是不同的,今天小编为考生们详细介绍一下托福阅读句子插入题型,希望对大家有所帮助。 在新托福考试当中,托福阅读是第一个部分,一共会考到3篇或者4篇文章,每篇文章700-800字左右,每篇文章之后会有13-14个题目。很多同学面对这样托福阅读文章,感觉无从下手。在这里,就给大家介绍下托福阅读题型的具体解题技巧,作为考前冲刺,给大家考试助力,点睛指导! 托福阅读题型:句子插入题Insert Text questions Most investigators concur that certain facial expressions suggest the same emotions in all people. Moreover, people in diverse cultures recognize the emotions manifested by the facial expressions. In classic research Paul Ekman took photographs of people exhibiting the emotions of anger, disgust, fear, happiness, and sadness. He then asked people around the world to indicate what emotions were being depicted in them. 12. Look at the four squares that indicate where the following sentence could be added to the passage. This universality in the recognition of emotions was demonstrated by using rather simple methods. Where would the sentence best fit? Click on a square [] to add the sentence to the passage. 托福阅读解题思路: Insert Text question。该题型要求考生将一句话插入到原文四个黑色空格的其中一个当中,使得段落看起来更通顺。首先可以从这个单独的句子中找到暗示点,例如,本题待插入句子为:This universality in the recognition of emotions was demonstrated by using rather simple methods. 主语部分为:这个对于感情的认知的普遍性。如果待插入句子中出现代词,则代词所指内容应当在该句之前出现,结合这道题目,在这个句子应当插入的空之前必有:对于感情认知的普遍性。这道题目选择第三个黑色方框,其之前的句子为: Moreover, people in diverse cultures recognize the emotions manifested by the facial expressions. 意思是:另外,来自不同文化背景的人能够通过面部表情的识别来判断对方

托福阅读句子插入题解题方法

句子插入题每篇文章都会出现一道,并且一定位于最后一题内容小结题之前的倒数第二题。试想一下,这是为什么呢?因为ETS是一个很人性化的机构,如果这类题出现在前几道题的位置,而你又选错了,那么会对你对文章的理解造成困扰,影响你做其他的问题。所以,要把它放在后面。而没有它,是不影响你做题不影响你读文章的。 既然这句插入的话对文章本身是没有影响的,那么插入的句子插在某段段首的几率大么?答案明显是否定的。原因呢?因为外国人的思维模式比较直截了当,不会像中国人那样藏着掖着,抛砖引玉或是画龙点睛。所以往往在某段第一句的句子在该段都起着至关重要的角色:主题句,它会总结上文,而更多的情况是引领下文。 我们排除了一个答案:就是段首的位置,但是还有三个干扰选项啊!!!句子插入题到底在考察什么呢?答案是:上下文的衔接。插入的句子一定要和上下文衔接得当。下面360教育集团就带广大的托儿们了解句子插入题解题方法。 步骤一:先阅读要插入的句子。 步骤二:关注插入的句子主语部分,要在该插入句子之前得以重复。 以TPO4 Deer Population of the Puget Sound的句子插入题为例。 Paragraph 2-3: Nearly any kind of plant of the forest understory can be part of a deer‘s diet, where the forest inhibits the growth of grass and other meadow plants, the black-tailed deer browses on huckleberry, salad, dogwood, and almost any other shrub or herb. But this is fair-weather feeding. What keeps the black-tailed deer alive in the harsher seasons of plant decay and dormancy? One compensation for not hibernating is the built-in urge to migrate. Deer may move from high-elevation browse areas in summer down to the lowland areas in late fall. Even with snow on the ground, the high bushy understory is exposed; also snow and wind bring down leafy branches of cedar, hemlock, red alder, and other arboreal fodder. The numbers of deer have fluctuated markedly since the entry of Europeans into Puget Sound country. The early explorers and settlers told of abundant deer in the early 1800s and yet almost in the same breath bemoaned the lack of this succulent game animal. Look at the four squares that indicate where the following sentence could be added to the passage. There food is available and accessible throughout the winter. Where would the sentence best fit? 插入的句子主语部分出现两个单词there 和food, there是地点状语,说明插入的位置之前出现了地点和食物。而文中的四个插入的句子只有第二处之前提到了high-elevation browser和lowland areas, 并且还提到了鹿吃的browse。所以答案是第二处。

托福阅读句子插入题解题技巧

托福阅读句子插入题解题技巧 在托福阅读考试中,有一种叫做插入题的托福阅读题型,插入句子题是托福阅读中的新题性,这类题目是给出一句话让我们来判断这句话应加入一个段落中四个方块的哪个部分,用鼠标双击所选的黑色方块即可。本文将为大家深入分析托福阅读中的插入题型如何处理。 句插题考察句间关系,所以通常情况下句插题的被插入句子都包含指示代词:it, this, that, those, these,such,another等,以及表示因果,转折等关系的过渡词语:如,therefore,so,however,as a result,consequently,on the contrary,however 等;递进扩展词:如,furthermore,also,as well,too,in addition,moreover,besides,even,additionally 等;结构配对词:如,on the one hand…,on the other hand,some…others等,所以搞清楚这些词汇所涉及的信息是解答正确的关键。 我们来具体看一个例子: Paragraph 2: The systematic study of this art is a relatively new discipline in Australia. Over the past four decades new discoveries have steadily added to the body of knowledge. The most significant data have come from a concentration on three major questions. First, what is the age of Australian rock art? Second, what is its stylistic organization and is it possible to discern a sequence or a pattern of development between styles? Third, is it possible to interpret accurately the subject matter of ancient rock art, bring to bear all available archaeological techniques and the knowledge of present-day Aboriginal informants? ■ Paragraph 3: The age of Australia’s rock art is constantly being revised, and earlier datings have been proposed as the result of new discoveri es. ■Currently, reliable scientific evidence dates the earliest creation of art on rock surfaces in Australia to somewhere between 30,000 and 50,000 years ago. ■This in itself is an almost incomprehensible span of generations, and one that makes Australia’s rock art the oldest continuous art tradition in the world. ■ Look at the four squares [■] that indicate where the following sentence could be added to the passage While a great deal of information exists, the answers to these questions are not yet definitive. (TPO 23-3) 被插入句子里面出现while做让步和代词these questions,代词显然充当了这道题最重要的解题关键,因为被插入句子前面一定要出现questions才能让被插句本身能够说的通,所以观察一下四个备选位置,questions都出现在第一段,所以该句最合适的位置就是第一个黑色方块。 但是还有一类句插题的被插入句子里没有代词和逻辑关系词汇,这类句插题只能靠寻找被插入句子和插入位置的相关信息点来完成解题,比如下列题目: paragraph1: In the Mesa V erde area of the ancient North American Southwest, living patterns changed in the thirteenth century, with large numbers of people moving into large communal dwellings called pueblos, often constructed at the edges of canyons, especially on the sides of cliffs. Abandoning small extended-family households to move into these large pueblos with dozens if not hundreds of other people was probably traumatic. Few of the cultural traditions and

托福阅读 句子插入题100%技巧

【考试技巧】新托福插入题命中百分百2011年04月28日11:15:19 在新托福阅读的考查中,每篇文章必会出现一类题,叫做"Insert Text Questions",即插入句子题(简称插入题)。考试中,考生会遇到一句话,问该句插入文中哪里最合适。如下面例题: ▇The raising of livestock is a major economic activity in semiarid lands, where grasses are general the dominant type of natural vegetation. ▇The consequences of an excessive number of livestock grazing in an area are the reduction of the vegetation cover and the trampling and pulverization of the soil.▇ This is usually followed by the drying of the soil and accelerated erosion. ▇ Look at the four squares ▇ that indicate where the following sentence can be added to the passage。 This economic reliance on livestock in certain regions makes large tracts of land susceptible to overgrazing。 Where would the sentence best fit? (选自Official Guide P73) 按照ETS官方指南上的解析,这类题型重点考查英文句子间的逻辑语义关系,即英文中句子与句子是如何衔接在一起的。所以,只要掌握了英语句子间的衔接手法(cohesive devices),这种问题便可迎刃而解。 那么,英文句子有哪些衔接手法呢? 主要分为以下四种。 1. 代词(Pronouns) 具体包括人称代词、指示代词和关系代词等(personal, demonstrative, relative, etc)。在上下句的关联中,代词是最为紧密的一类词。当作者再次谈及上句相关话题时,为了避免重复,遵循语言学的最简单化原理,作者会用代词指代该话题词。例如, Speaking a foreign language is an enormous asset in the modern world. This is why so many junior high schools are now offering language classes。 Today's teachers are faced with a stark choice. They must decide whether to teach in a way that helps student pass standardized exams or teach in a way that actually helps students learn。 2. 定冠词the + 名词(specific articles+nouns) 名词所指对象第一次出现时,用不定冠词a连接,当后句再次提及该名词对象时,为了表示它和前一句名词是同一关系,会用定冠词the引出。例如, A woman is walking into our classroom. The woman is our teacher。

信息流动原则在托福阅读句子插入题中的运用

信息流动原则在托福阅读句子插入题中的运用 摘要:下面两段话说明的都是同一件事情。甚至两段每一句话分开来看所陈述的内容也相同。但读起来,例2却要比例1流畅易懂。 首先,来看下面两段话。 Example 1: Every Tuesday, Samantha takes her dog to the dog park near her house. The city of San José maintains the dog park in an effort to promote healthy lifestyles. The city of San José sustains several dog parks throughout the city. Example 2: Every Tuesday, Samantha takes her dog to the dog park nearby her house. The dog park is maintained in an effort to promote healthy lifestyles by the city of San José. The city of San José sustains several dog parks throughout the city. 上面两段话说明的都是同一件事情。甚至两段每一句话分开来看所陈述的内容也相同。但读起来,例2却要比例1流畅易懂。 之所以如此,是因为例2符合了信息流动的原则。即在一段话中,每一句话应该遵循旧信息在前,新信息在后的原则。越是符合这个原则,一个篇章就越流畅、越易懂。而违背了这一原则,文章就会变得突兀,不连贯。 我们来分析一下这两个例子。两段的第一句话相同,均为Every Tuesday, Samantha takes her dog to the dog park nearby her house。当读者读第一句时,该句话的内容对读者而言全都是新信息。但当读者读到第二句时,这句话里的信息就变成了旧信息。 再看第二句话。两个例子在第二句话的信息排列上出现了不同。例 1 仍以新信息The city of San José开头,却将旧信息the dog park放在了后面。违背了旧信息在前,新信息在后这一原则,读起来十分突兀。而例2的第二句话则以旧信息the dog park 开头,新

托福阅读如何通过逻辑关键词解答句子插入题

托福阅读如何通过逻辑关键词解答 句子插入题 托福阅读中句子插入题是比较有难度的一种题型,一般会出现在每篇阅读比较靠后的段落中。今天给大家带来托福阅读如何通过逻辑关键词解答句子插入题,希望可以帮助到大家,下面就和大家分享,来欣赏一下吧。 托福阅读如何通过逻辑关键词解答句子插入题? 托福阅读句子插入题简介 句子插入题是考察句子与句子关系的题目。句子之间连接常见的线索有四项:指代、连接性副词、句子打头的并列连词FANBOYS(for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so),以及观点与事实。其中前三项是可见线索,最后一项是不可见线索。这里主要介绍连接性的副词。 托福阅读常见逻辑关系词汇罗列 并列递进:Besides, In addition, in fact, indeed, also… 转折:however, nevertheless, nonetheless, still, instead… 因果:thus, hence, therefore, consequently, accordingly…
