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希望能够帮助到大家,下面小编就和大家分享,来欣赏一下吧。

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。

托福阅读推断题如何抓准作者目的

托福阅读推断题如何抓准作者目的

托福阅读推断题如何抓准作者目的托福阅读推断题如何抓准作者目的?实用解题思路实例分享。

今天给大家带来了托福阅读推断题如何抓准作者目的,希望能够帮助到大家,下面就和大家分享,来欣赏一下吧。

托福阅读推断题如何抓准作者目的?实用解题思路实例分享托福阅读推断题题型解读大家知道推断题最经典的一个定义是OG上有这么一句话,“……在*中强烈暗示但并没有明确说明的。

”强调在文中暗示,意思是说你依然要回到原文中,也就是说他的作题步骤和信息题基本是一致的,要去把握原文给你的信息并加以判断。

但是它又说文中没有明确说明,这是跟信息题最大的区别:文中没有明白地跟你说清楚。

在我们日常生活中有很多这样的例子,比如,“以前我在杭州的时候还是蛮帅的。

”其实这句话的隐含意思是我不如以前帅。

还听过一个TED演讲,女嘉宾说“我们女人上完厕所是要洗手的,我们女人坐完公交车是要洗手的,我们女人点完钞票是要洗手的……总之我们女人干什么都要洗手。

”听完之后大家什么感受呢?好像一直说男人不洗手一样。

所以你发现这些我们日常生活中很多讲话的例子都没有把话讲明白,但是我们能听得明白他说的是什么意思。

在托福阅读中,这样的推断比比皆是。

我给大家的建议是,在托福阅读当中的推断,都不是基于严格的判断,如果基于严格的逻辑判断,可能有多个意图,但如果从作者写作的意图判断,其实只有一个意思。

我们用题目来理解。

托福阅读推断题实例讲解Paragraph 5: Even the kind of stability defined as simple lack of change is not always associated with maximum diversity. At least in temperate zones, maximum diversity is often found inmid-successional stages, not in the climax community. Once a redwood forest matures, for example, the kinds of species and the number of individuals growing on the forest floor are reduced. In general, diversity, by itself, does not ensure stability. Mathematical models of ecosystems likewise suggest that diversity does not guarantee ecosystem stability—just the opposite, in fact.Which of the following can be inferred from paragraph 5 about redwood forests?■ They become less stable as they mature.■ They support many species when they reach climax.■ They are found in temperate zones.■ They have reduced diversity during mid-successional stages.这个题目是个推断题,其中有infer。

托福阅读修辞目的题技巧

托福阅读修辞目的题技巧

托福阅读修辞目的题技巧修辞目的题考察考生是否理解作者如何解释和说明自己想要传达的信息,想要做对这类题我们需要明白作者的行文思路和表达逻辑。

下面就和大家分享托福阅读修辞目的题,希望能够帮助到大家,快来学习一下吧。

托福阅读修辞目的题:你读懂了作者的心吗托福阅读中有一类题目长这样:The author mentions X in paragraph 2 in order to . . .Why does the author mention X?Why does the author provide the information that…?此类题目的在OG上给出的名字是“Rhetorical Purpose Questions”,译为“修辞目的题”。

什么叫“修辞”呢?百度百科对于“修辞”的定义是“修辞本义就是修饰言论,也就是在使用语言的过程中,利用多种语言手段以收到尽可能好的表达效果的一种语言活动”。

对“rhetoric”一词的英文释义为“Rhetoric is the skill or art of using language effectively.”。

结合“修辞”的解释和题目所问内容“为什么作者…”,我们很容易理解所谓author的“目的”,只不过就是“试图更清楚的解释和说明作者自己想要传达的信息”。

搞清楚这点就会更容易解答这类题目。

作者大大们是如何实现这个目的的?# 1 举例论证或解释(最常出现)“举个例子”是在说理的过程中最常见的一种方式。

一般情况下,叙述者在给出一个“观点”后,往往会搭配一个具体的实例来支持这个观点。

又或者原文出现某个“理论”后,紧跟着出现一个已经发生的实例来进一步印证这个理论的可靠性。

还会出现的情况是,原文引入了一个学术名词,通过举一些我们熟悉的例子,来辅助解释这个名词。

当然,在少数情况下,叙述者也可能先给出一个具体的实例,然后引出结论。

有些题目会出现比较明显的表示举例的词组,如for example、for instance等。

托福阅读句子改写题常用技巧-把握作者意图

托福阅读句子改写题常用技巧-把握作者意图

【解题技巧】托福阅读句子改写题常用技巧-把握作者意图托福阅读考试中,有一类题型是句子改写题,如何做好这些题,下面跟小编一起来通过实例来了解一下托福阅读句子改写题的解题技巧——把握作者意图,希望对大家的托福阅读备考有帮助。

通过下面具体来看二个例题,“把握作者的意图”这样一个原则放在重要的题型中怎么使用呢?来看个句子改写题,句子改写题就是考察你在一个句子内部如何把握它重要的信息。

但是直接给你一句话,请你找出它最核心的信息,这其实是很困难的。

不妨换一个思路:作者这句话的目的和功能是什么?例1 [结果]These plants are termed opportunists because [原因]they rely on theirseeds’ falling into settings where competing plants have been removed by naturalprocesses, such as along an eroding riverbank, on landslips, or where a treefalls and creates a gap in the forest canopy.A. Because [原因]their seeds grow in places where competing plants are nolonger present, [结果]dandelions are classified as opportunists.B. [结果]Dandelions are called opportunists because [原因]they contribute tothe natural processes of erosion and the creation of gaps in the forestcanopy.C. The term opportunists apply to plants whose seeds fall in places wherethey can compete with the seeds of other plants.D. The term opportunists apply to plants whose falling seeds are removed bynatural processes.你发现原句中有个because,就知道这句话是在解释,必定有因有果。

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。

实例讲解托福阅读作者目的题题的解题方法

实例讲解托福阅读作者目的题题的解题方法

【解题技巧】实例讲解托福阅读作者目的题题的解题方法托福阅读不好攻克大家都知道,其中有几类题型是必考的,包括细节题、推理题、否定信息题以及作者目的题,这几类托福阅读题型一直很让人苦恼,不少人连托福阅读文章都没弄明白,该怎么办呢?下面来为大腕介绍一下。

此类目的题的提问方式一般为:Why does the author mention/include/use …?The author …in order to … ? The author uses the example to ?…for … pu rpose?这种托福阅读题目一般问的是作者举某个例子,说某句话的目的是什么,判断好题干是第一步。

一般的托福阅读文章的思路,作者在举例子的时候的主要目的都是为了证明自己的观点,所以在做这类题目的时候,真正的解题关键在于,所问例子前方的观点,我们来看一道例题:The first generation to experience these changes did not adopt the newattitudes easily. The factory clock became the symbol of the new work rules. Onemill worker who finally quit complained revealingly about “obedience to theding-dong of the bell-just as though we are so many living machines.” With theloss of personal freedom also came the loss of standing in the community. Unlikeartisan workshops in which apprentices worked closely with the masterssupervising them, factories sharply separated workers from management. Fewworkers rose through the ranks to supervisory positions, and even fewer couldachieve the artisa n’s dream of setting up one’s own business.Even well-paid workers sensed their decline in status.4. In paragraph 4, the author includes the quotation from a mill worker inorder to○Support the idea that it was difficult for workers to adjust to working infactories○To show that workers sometimes quit because of the loud noise made byfactory machinery○Argue that clocks did not have a useful function in factories○Emphasize that factories were most successful when workers revealed theircomplaints题目问,作者为什么引用工人的话。

托福作者目的题解析

托福作者目的题解析

托福作者目的题解析作者目的题,也叫做修辞目的题,但其实在 TPO 中它的范围更广,除了举例说明概述题外,还有类似段落关系方面的题。

既然是作者目的题,此题型首先考察的就是考生是否可以准确的进行换位思考,了解作者的意图。

我们将作者目的进行了归类,这就包括:提供信息(inform),定义(define),解释(explain),例证(illustrate),比较(pare),对比(contrast),批评(criticize)等。

下文中我将对此题型的常见出题方法进行解析:作者目的题常见的出题形式如下:• Why does the author mention/include/use…?• The author…in order to…• The author uses the example to…?• …for…purpose?这类题一般会问作者举个例子,说一句话的目的是什么,一般题中的例子在考试中会用黑色标注,方便考生查找(也有不标注的情况)。

总的来说,托福阅读文章的框架是比较清晰的,作者必须举例说明自己的观点。

所以对于考生来说,需要先找到例句所在的句子,再向前阅读,找到例句支持的观点句。

比如:The numbers of deer have fluctuated markedly since the entry of Europeans into Puget Sound country. Theearly 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 20deer.The author tells the story of the explorers Lewis and Clark in paragraph 3 in order to illustrate which of the following points?number of deer within the Puget Sound region has varied over time.of the explorers who came to the Puget Sound area were primarily interested in hunting game.e was more game for hunting in the East of the United States than in the West.vidual explorers were not as successful at locating games as were the trading panies.解析:根据较容易定位的人名到段落第三句“Famous explorers of the North American frontier, Lewis and Clark had experienced great difficulty finding game west of the Rockies and not until the second of December did they kill their first elk.”意思是:北美边境有名的探险者,Lewis 和 Clark 在落基山西边很难找到捕猎动物并且直到十二月二号才捕到第一只鹿。

很多同学一看到目的题就会愣住!到底小托福阅读目的题有多难?下文为大家分享两个解题技巧,一起阅读下吧~首先先要向大家介绍小托福阅读的目的题:简单来讲,就是问你“why did the author write the passage?”/“The author’s main purpose is to”也就是提问“作者为什么要写这篇文章”的题目。

考生看到这些题目的时候总是很无奈。

小托福阅读目的题它不仅考察了考生的阅读能力,还考察考生的分析能力。

很明显,作者写作文体的目的是要告知某件事情或传递某些信息。

小托福阅读目的题两种解题方法大家一定要清楚哦~1、关注开头同学们阅读所有文章都要特别关注开头,篇首往往包含了很多重要信息,也是出题人偏好出题的区间。

解答“作者目的题”的方法之一就是关注开头。

第一句话一般来说都会跟剩下的篇章有关联,看懂了第一句话,也就能明白作者整篇文章的内容。

例题:I'm writing to you because I forgot to mention the try-out show in class today. If you want to sing, act, dance, or do anything else in the talent show, then you should go to the try-outs show tomorrow after school.

深度解析托福阅读之作者目的题托福阅读共有十种题型,其中某些题型属于出现频率较高的如细节题、句子简化题和句子插入题等,这些题型需要花费较多的时间去准备,除了需要知道考试的技巧之外还要能够掌握一些考场上的应急方法。

今天三立在线就来分析这些题型中的其中一种——作者目的题。

作者目的题也叫做修辞目的题,但其实在TPO 中它的范围更广,除了举例说明概述题外,还有类似段落关系方面的题。

既然是作者目的题,此题型首先考察的就是考生是否可以准确的进行换位思考,了解作者的意图。

我们将作者目的进行了归类,这就包括:提供信息(inform),下定义(define),解释(explain),例证(illustrate),比较(compare),对比(contrast),批评(criticize) 等。

下面我们就对此题型的常见出题方法进行解析:作者目的题常见的出题形式如下1. Why does the author mention/include/use…?2. The author…in order to…3. The author uses the example to…?4.…for…purpose?这种题目一般问的是作者举某个例子,说某句话的目的是什么且在考试时一般题目中的例子会标黑以方便考生寻找(也有不标注的情况)。

一般来讲,托福阅读的文章框架相对清晰,作者在举例子时一定是为了说明自己的观点。

所以,对于考生来说需要先找到例子的所在句,然后往前阅读找到例子支撑的观点句即可。

如: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 Clarkarrived 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.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.解析根据较容易定位的人名到段落第三句“Famous explorers of the North American frontier, Lewis and Clark had experienced great difficulty finding game west of the Rockies and not until the second of December did they kill their first elk.”意思是:北美边境有名的探险者,Lewis 和Clark 在落基山西边很难找到捕猎动物并且直到十二月二号才捕到第一只鹿。

这是一个例子,所以我们就往前阅读看段落首句——段首句往往是段落中的重中之重。

“The numbers of deer have fluctuated markedly since the entry of Europeans into Puget Sound country.”意思是:鹿的数量自从欧洲人进入Puget Sound 地区后就发生了显著的波动。

所以明显的这句话才是例子要支持的观点,显而易见我们可以得出选项A 是正确答案。

第二种类型是观点和例子结合成了一句话,如:The astrolabe had long been the primary instrument for navigation, having been introduced in the eleventh century. It operated by measuring the height of the Sun and the fixed stars: by calculating the angles created by these points, it determined the degree of latitude at which one stood (The problem of determining longitude, though, was not solved until the eighteenth century.) By the early thirteenth century, Western Europeans had also developed and put into use themagnetic compass, which helped when clouds obliterated both the Sun and the stars. Also beginning in the thirteenth century, there were new maps refined by precise calculations and the reports of sailors that made it possible to trace one's path with reasonable accuracy. Certain institutional and practical norms had become established as well. A maritime code known as the Consulate of the Sea, which originated in the western Mediterranean region in the fourteenth century, won acceptance by a majority of sea goers as the normative code for maritime conduct; it defined such matters as the authority of a ship's officers, protocols of command, pay structures, the rights of sailors, and the rules of engagement when ships met one another on the sea-lanes. Thus by about 1400, the key elements were in place to enable Europe to begin its seaward adventure.Why does the author include the information that Western Europeanshad developed and put into use the magnetic compass?A. To provide an example of an instrument that was developed after caravels had begun traveling across oceans.B. To provide an example of an improvement that resulted directly from the invention of the astrolabe.C. To identify one of the technological advances that made sea trade with the East possible.D. To explain how the problem of determining longitude was solved.解析根据问题中的关键词magnetic compass可以定位到文章的第五行,但是由于句中的also,可知磁针罗盘和星盘是并列关系,即两者都是重要的航海定位工具,所以C 选项是正确答案。

此题即例子和观点合成一句话。

此次分享了常规的作者目的题的做法,希望能够帮助大家在托福考试的过程中取得好的成绩!更多精彩内容,就在三立在线!。
