2个实例详解托福阅读修辞目的题从题干找线索解题技巧托福阅读修辞目的题出题形式简介托福阅读修辞目的题的格式是这个样子的:“why does author mention ”注意这里的why不是定位文中的because来找答案,而是应采取这样一种思维即:题干作为一个细节,其存在的价值是为了支撑前面出现的观点,所以答案在题干细节出现的位置前面去找,也就是找到观点 (注意避开其他同样支撑观点的细节)修辞目的题解题思路实例分析实例1:Paragraph 6: But neither the human imitativeinstinct nor a penchant for fantasy by itself leads to an autonomous theater.Therefore, additional explanations are needed. One necessary condition seems tobe a somewhat detached view of human problems. For example, one sign of thiscondition is the appearance of the comic vision, since comedy requires sufficientdetachment to view some deviations from social norms as ridiculous rather thanas serious threats to the welfare of the entire group. Another condition thatcontributes to the development of autonomous theater is the emergence of theaesthetic sense.2. Why does the author mention “comedy”?A. To give an example of early types of theater.B. To explain how theater helps a society respond to threats to its welfare.C. To help explain why detachment is needed for the development of theater.D. To show how theatrical performers become detached from other members of society.本题中的comedy虽为一个小词,看似不起眼,但是它所存在的句子,句首为for example,这就构成了明显的举例关系,所以答案还是在前面找这个例子所证明的观点。

托福阅读修辞目的题怎么解

托福阅读修辞目的题怎么解

托福阅读修辞目的题怎么解托福阅读考试中,托福修辞题目是什么呢?托福阅读修辞题目就是托福阅读文章中作者意图的提问,那么应该如何解答这些题目呢?本文将为正在备战托福的同学们带来托福阅读修辞目的题怎么解的内容,希望能够帮助到大家。

托福阅读修辞目的题怎么解从托福考试出题的形式上讲:Why does the author mention/discuss …?The author mentions/discusses … in order to ______.The author uses … as an example of_____.做这类托福题目时有些同学往往会出现黑人问号,我怎么知道作者怎么想的!其实,这类题目和托福其他题目一样,都是有套路的。

至少,托福阅读里的修辞目的题是不会要求考生们对锅里的鱼眼里“诡异的光”进行理解的。

言归正传,那么做这类题目的套路究竟是什么呢?首先我们要知道托福文章结构有一个规律,就是claim(观点)+detail(s),换句话说就是给出一个观点,然后用一个或者若干个细节或者例子来支撑前面的观点。

不论是从托福文章整体架构,段落结构,还是更微观的行文结构来看,一般来说这个规律都成立。

而修辞目的题实质上就是出题人把一个detail拎出来问你,作者为什么要提到这个detail。

到这里,问题的关键就变成了找到这个detail对应的claim究竟在哪里。

最简单的模型就是,claim后面就一个detail支撑,这种情况下,自然detail前面紧挨着的那句话就是作者的观点,即提到这个detail 的目的是为了说明前面的这个观点。

然而有时候,作者会用不止一个detail来支撑最前面的claim,模型视图如下Claim+ detail 1 + detail 2 + detail 3这种时候,如果出题人把detail 3拎出来问你它的目的,显然答案就不是为了支持紧挨着它的前面那句话了,而应该是遥相支持前面的前面的前面的那个claim。

托福阅读之修辞目的题的解题思路与技巧

托福阅读之修辞目的题的解题思路与技巧

如何解答修辞目的题?
➢ 在涉猎原文细节信息的基础之上,有意识地注意句子之间的逻辑关系以及 段落的结构(解题过程中最核心、最关键的部分)
➢ 平时可加强练习,学会分析句子之间的逻辑关系,概括文章的构架
For example:
My life of summer vacation is full of variety. During the summer vacation, I watched 5 movies. I went to the beach with my good friends. I also visited places of historic interest.
第二步:分析段落框架
➢ 分析线索:时间顺序 in the eleventh century (the astrolabe) by the early thirteenth century (the magnetic compass) beginning in the thirteenth century (new maps and the reports of sailors) in the fourteenth century (certain institutional and practical norms) by about 1400 (the key elements were in place)
选项D
longitude
The problem of determining longitude, though, was not solved until the eighteenth century.
第四步:分析信息,确定答案
原文中每个与选项信息相 对应的句子在段落整体框 架中的地位是怎样的?是 example?是细节?还是 段落主题?

托福阅读题型精讲托福阅读题型精讲, 修辞目的题零基础入门指南,今日我给大家来托福阅读题型精讲,盼望能够关心到大家,下面我就和大家共享,来观赏一下吧。

托福阅读题型精讲修辞目的题零基础入门指南托福阅读修辞目的题基本介绍修辞目的题是问为什么给出某个详细的信息或例子,也就说实际考察的是同学在阅读中“角色转换”的力量,即把自己想象成,推想举某个例子,写某一句话或者一段话的目的。

要解决这类题目,我们首先要弄明白托福阅读中使用的修辞手法是怎样的,这里所说的修辞不同于我们语文课上讲的比方、拟人、排比等修辞手法,而是一种“有效写作或演讲的艺术”,托福中的修辞手法范围更广一些,包括举例子、下定义、阐述、解释、对比、反对、强调等手法。

我们在清晰了修辞手法后,下一步就是要揣测文章消失某个例子或者某句话甚至某段话的意图所在,有些同学可能觉得假如读不懂文章做这题就难了,而且时间有限,无法细细揣摩的写作意图,但不用担忧,的写作是有肯定的规律挨次在里面的,详细例子的消失也是有特定挨次的,而且不要遗忘托福阅读中的文章大都是从US高校课本上直接摘取出来的,是学术类文章,学术类文章有很明确的文章结构,即整篇文章有中心论点(thesis statement),每段都有中心句(topic sentence),反过来说段落内部信息是为段落中心思想服务的,段落是为文章中心服务的。

托福阅读修辞目的题提问对象分析修辞目的题按提问对象可以分为两种,一种是针对详细信息的,另外一种是针对段落组织结构的。

前者消失的频率最高,而且以举例为多,所以我们重点讲解第一类的做法。

我们知道举例子是为了论证某种观点的,无非两种状况,先观点后举例,或者是先例子后观点总结,这时候我们要查找的层次有三个,例子前一句话,文段中心句,文章中心。

托福阅读修辞目的题解题思路实例精讲下面我们就详细的例子来阐述一下详细的做法。

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. Famous explorers of the north American frontier, Lewis and Clark arrived at the mouth of the Columbia River on November 14, 1805, in nearly starved circumstances. They had experienced great difficulty finding game west of the Rockies and not until the second of December did they kill their first elk. To keep 40 people alive that winter, they consumed approximately 150 elk and 20 deer. And when game moved out of the lowlands in early spring, the expedition decided to return east rather than face possible starvation. Later on in the early years of the nineteenth century, when Fort Vancouver became the headquarters of the Hudsons Bay Company, deer populations continued to fluctuate. David Douglas, Scottish botanical explorer of the 1830s, found a disturbing change in the animal life around the fort during the period between his first visit in 1825 and his final contact with the fort in 1832. A recent Douglas biographer states: The deer which once picturesquely dotted the meadows around the fort were gone [in 1832], hunted to extermination in order to protect the crops.The author tells the story of the explorers Lewis and Clark in paragraph 3 in order to illustrate which of the following points?A. The number of deer within the Puget Sound region has varied over time.B. Most of the explorers who came to the Puget Sound area were primarily interested in hunting game.C. There was more game for hunting in the East of the United States than in the West.D. Individual explorers were not as successful at locating games as were the trading companies.我们依据大写字母L和C定位,在文章的第四行,我们看例子前一句,the early explorers and settlers told of abundant deer in the early 1800s,也是一个例子,不是观点,所以下一步,我们查找文段中心句,即文段的第一句the numbers of deer have fluctuates markedly since the entry of Europeans into Puget Sound country.所以举L和C的例子是为了阐述段落中心句,the numbers of deer has changed a lot.与选项A同义,所以我们正确答案是A,再来看其他选项,选项B说大家interested in hunting,原文中没有涉及;选项C东西部hunting的比较在原文中也没有说明;文中也没有消失个体捕猎与团体捕猎哪个更好,所以锁定正确答案为A。

名师解析:托福阅读中的修辞目的题

名师解析:托福阅读中的修辞目的题————————————————————————————————作者:————————————————————————————————日期:2智课网TOEFL备考资料名师解析:托福阅读中的修辞目的题一、问题形式举例说明概述题,也叫例证题,被ETS称为“修辞目的题”(rhetorical purpose question),基本形式如下:The author uses X as an example of…Why does the author mention X?The author discusses X in paragraph 2 in order to…二、解题技巧举例的目的在于反映概述,所以这类题的一般解题技巧是:绕过例子看概述,对概述进行同义替换的就是正确答案。

具体技巧如下:1. 例子说明概述举例说明概述题经常对应原文的举例for example。

做题时可以先根据问题中的关键词确定例子的位置,再阅读例子前的那个句子,这个句子一般就是例子所说明的概述,也就是答案对应的地方。

例如,…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 notconstrained by the laws of physics in the same way that applied-art objects are. Because theirprimary purpose is not functional,they are only limited in terms of the materials used to make them. Sculptures must,for example,be stable,which requires an understanding of the properties of mass,weight distribution,and stress. Paintings must have rigid stretchers so that the canvas will be taut,and the paint must not deteriorate,crack,or discolor. 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 horseswith a raised foreleg usually had a cannonball under that hoof. This was done because the cannonball was needed to support the weight of the leg…”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根据问题中的关键词bronze statues of horses定位段末,这里有标志词for example,说明它是对前面所说的内容进行例证。

Offshore platforms may also lose oil, creating oil slicks that drift ashore and foul the beaches, harming the environment. Sometimes, the ground at an oil field may subside as oil is removed. The Wilmington field near Long Beach, California, has subsided nine meters in 50 years; protective barriers have had to be built to prevent seawater from flooding the area. Finally, the refining and burning of petroleum and its products can cause air pollution. Advancing technology and strict laws, however, are helping control some of these adverse environmental effects.

2020托福阅读修辞目的题出题形式简介托福阅读中既有不需要思考太多直接就能从原文找到答案的题目,也有需要考生自己主动思考分析才能得出结论的题目。

今天小编给大家带来了托福阅读修辞目的题出题形式简介,希望能够帮助到大家,一起来学习吧。

托福阅读修辞目的题出题形式简介托福阅读修辞目的题的格式是这个样子的:“why does author mention ”注意这里的why不是定位文中的because来找答案,而是应采取这样一种思维即:题干作为一个细节,其存在的价值是为了支撑前面出现的观点,所以答案在题干细节出现的位置前面去找,也就是找到观点 (注意避开其他同样支撑观点的细节)修辞目的题解题思路实例分析实例1:Paragraph 6: But neither the human imitativeinstinct nor a penchant for fantasy by itself leads to an autonomous theater.Therefore, additional explanations are needed. One necessary condition seems tobe a somewhat detached view of human problems. For example, one sign of thiscondition is the appearance of the comic vision, since comedy requires sufficientdetachment to view some deviations from social norms as ridiculous rather thanas serious threats to the welfare of the entire group. Another condition thatcontributes to the development of autonomous theater is the emergence of theaesthetic sense.2. Why does the author mention “comedy”?A. To give an example of early types of theater.B. To explain how theater helps a society respond to threats to its welfare.C. To help explain why detachment is needed for the development of theater.D. To show how theatrical performers become detached from other members of society.本题中的comedy虽为一个小词,看似不起眼,但是它所存在的句子,句首为for example,这就构成了明显的举例关系,所以答案还是在前面找这个例子所证明的观点。

第一句中的neither直接否定了两个观点,后面出现的therefore带起的句子是个过渡,第三句中才给出了detached view这一观点,因此看A项中没有detached相关的内容,排除,B项提到了welfare,无关信息,排除。

C和D提到了detach但是D项中的other members没有提到。

故,选C。

实例2:The fins are stiff, smooth, and narrow, qualities that also help cut drag. When not in use, the fins are tucked into special grooves or depressions so that they lie flushwith the body and do not break up its smooth contours. Airplanes retract theirlanding gear while in flight for the same reason.1. Why does the author mention that Airplanes retract their landing gear while in flight?A.To show that air resistance and water resistance work differently from each other.B.To argue that some fishes are better designed than airplanes are.C.To provide evidence that airplane engine have studied the design of fish bodies.D.To demonstrate a similarity in design between certain fishes and airplanes.本题中的利用题干中的landing gear很好定位,答案在此信息之前,文章作者用airplane来举例说明landing gear的功能,它受到这个的启发来自于fin are tuckedinto the grooves ordepressions(鱼鳍藏于侧身凹槽而不会破坏其本身的流线型题型)。

而CD选项都提到了design, 但是C提到了airplane engine,这一概念文中并未提及,所以是错误的,正确答案是D项。

托福阅读的答题技巧在脑子里面形成一个作者思路图在脑子里或者在草稿纸上画一个托福阅读文章的结构思路题。

各个段落的目的是什么,主题又是什么?再次提醒,TOEFL考察的是你的答题能力而非阅读能力,这就需要一些托福阅读技巧。

你不必完全掌握整篇文章,了解文章中的每一个细节。

(其实,你也没有那么多时间)。

相反,你应该只读文章段落的第1句,而快速浏览其余部分。

当你"读"完这篇文章时,你就能对文章的结构思路有总体的把握。

停下来,总结一下文章大意在回答问题前,花几秒钟总结一下文章的思路和主题。

开始答题根据你对文章的整体思路来答题。

将问题(或选项)定位到文章中具体的某个段落甚至具体的句子。

这里,你可以比第2个步骤更仔细。

托福阅读:倒装句的解读托福阅读中的倒装句主要有下列情况:1.方位副词放在句首Herein lay the beginning of what ultimately turned from ignorance to denial of the value of nutritional therapies in medicine。

2.介词放在句首Among the species of seabirds that use the windswept cliffs of the Atlantic coast of Canada in the summer to mate, lay eggs, and rear their young are common murres, Atlantic puffins, black-legged kittiwakes, and northern gannets。

3.形容词放在句首Implicit in it is an aesthetic principle as well: that the medium has certain qualities of beauty and expressiveness with which sculptors must bring own aesthetic sensibilities into harmony。

4.过去分词放在句首Accustomed though we are to speaking of the films made before 1927 as “silent”,the film has never been, in the full sense of the word, silent。

5.现在分词放在句首Missing until recently were fossils clearly intermediate, or transitional, between land mammals and cetaceans。

句子倒装的目的主要有两个:一是被提前的部分被强调,如上述的第四句:Accustomed though we are to speaking of the films made before 1927 as “silent”,其中的accustomed按照正常语序应该放在are之后:Though we are accustomed to speaking of the films made before 1927 as “silent”。

之所以将accustomed提前,是为了强调它。

二是为了句子的平衡,否则将导致头重脚轻的效果,如上述的第一句、第三句和第五句。

以第五句为例,按照正常语序应该是:Fossils clearly intermediate, or transitional, between land mammals and cetaceans were missing until recently。

但是这种句子结构比较糟糕,因为主语及其修饰语过长(从句首直到cetaceans),而谓语部分were missing until recently较短,容易造成头重脚轻的效果。

第五句将missing提前,避免了这一现象。
