托福閱讀7天計劃-Day 3 Insert a Sentence

為了幫助大家更好的備戰(zhàn)托?？荚?/a>，留學監(jiān)理網(wǎng)的老師在這里給大家介紹托福的幾個閱讀提升的方法---托福閱讀7天計劃。

句子插入題是托福考試特有的題型。

這類問題最多在每篇文章后出現(xiàn)一次。

文章中會有4處缺少一個句子，考生需要將文末給出的句子填在最恰當?shù)牡胤?，確保文章完整通順。

這種題型旨在考察學生對文章邏輯關系的理解，以及如何將上下文連接起來的能力。

Strategies to answer the questions：

首先要仔細閱讀這一段話，理解文章意思。

然后再看一下空缺句子的前一句跟后一句是否連貫，是否缺少過渡句。

注意一些連接詞，如表示時間關系的then, next, finally, etc.，表示因果關系的consequently, as a result, etc.，或表示轉折關系的but, however等詞

理解要插入的句子的意思，放到原文中不連貫的地方，再閱讀，確保文章通順流暢。

也可以將這句話放到其他三處，讀一下是否通順，邏輯關系是否清晰。

Example:

下面我們就來看一道例題：

Part of a passage: Their demise also resulted in the extinction of a half-dozen species of forest insects and the severe crippling of other animal populations such as the wild turkey: these all relied on the American Chestnut as a source of habitat and food. ■ Affected wildlife attempted to adapt to their disrupted environment by looking to other species of trees, such as the Acorn, and seed-bearing plants for food. ■ This placed great ecological pressure on those species, as none could equal the American Chestnut in its ability to provide a consistently abundant crop of nuts. ■ The problems the American Chestnut blight engendered thus show the ripple effects that can occur within any ecosystem when new elements are introduced in an unsound manner. ■

Question: Look at the four squares ■ that indicate where the following sentence could be added to the passage.

In fact, is it widely believed that the scope of its devastation far eclipses even that of the fungal disease, also accidentally introduced, that ravaged Dutch Elm trees across Europe and North America, from 1910 to 1928.

Where would it best fit?

正確的答案是應該把句子插入到第四個空格。

因為這句話是對前一句的擴展。句中” its devastation” 是指上一句中” American Chestnut blight”所造成的影響。一次這句話不能插入到第三個空格。如果將這句話插入到第一或第二個空格，就會干擾有關American Chestnut消亡對生態(tài)環(huán)境的影響的描述。

下面大家趁熱打鐵，再做一題吧。

■ 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.

Look at the four squares [ ■ ] that indicate where the following sentence could be added to the passage.

Consequently, tunas do not need to suck in water.

Where would the sentence best fit?

在這道題中，大家注意到有一個具有提示性的詞：Consequently，那么這句話的前一句應該是tunas不需要吸水的原因，這樣后面才能街上Consequently。這句話”they have lost most of the muscles that other fishes use to suck in water and push it past the gills”正是表示原因的一句話，因此應插入到第三個空。
