托福阅读推断题技巧【1】
托福阅读推断题答题技巧一:审题
题干中有出现infer,imply, indicate或suggest这四个单词,我们就判定这个题目为推断题,那么推断题应该如何解答呢?
第一步,判断题型。我们拿到题目,看到上面四个单词中的任何一个,心中就想着这是推断题,推断题的做题宗旨是文章强烈暗示,要通过文章内容进行合理推断。
第二步,审清题干,原文定位。仔细阅读题干,弄清题干内容,推断方向,带着题干核心信息到文章中准确定位。
第三步,推测+判断。根据相关句进行正向或逆向的推理,最后择优而选,确定答案。
托福阅读推断题答题技巧二:信息匹配
正向推断:和事实信息题做题方法一样,答案就是定位的句子的同义改写。
逆向推断:大致分为两种,一种是时间,第二种是两类事物的对比。
第一种,题干中往往会出现表示时间的信息,需要留意细节。
第二种,两类事物的对比,往往文中会出现表示对比的关系词,比如:by contrast, unlike, while, whereas, on the contrary, in comparisonto, distinct from, different from等词。
通过上面的介绍可以看出大家面对推断这种托福阅读题型时,不论是正推还是逆推,关键是大家要保持冷静的头脑,从事件发展的时间轴或者事件水平轴上进行原因的推断,找某个突破点,依据托福阅读原文的内容,找出相应的根据,那么你的托福阅读题的正确率一定会很好的提升。
托福阅读推断题技巧【2】
托福阅读中的推断题一直是考生心理的阴影和恐惧,尤其是“推断”两个字,瞬间会让大家联想到柯南, 福尔摩斯之类带有悬疑色彩的东西。据对所带的学生进行的调查,提到哪种阅读题型最难做,将近50%的学生把票投给了推断题。
毋庸置疑,推断题一定有一定的难度所在,这点我们从
那么,我们改如何应对推断题呢?推断题真的像我们想象的这么难么?
今天我们一起来从考查形式上来解刨一下推断题。
题干特征:推断题的题干经常会出现infer,suggest,imply, indicate这类单词 考查形式主要分为两大类:对比推断和细节推断,而后者出现的几率更大。
考查形式一:对比推断
A时间对比:一般有两个形成对比的时间点,它们所具有的特征一般相反。如:原文会出现before1990的信息,而题目会问after 1990的信息?
解决方案:收集问题对应的时间点的信息,然后取反。
注意原文中出现的表示时间节点的词 before, after, not…until…
例题
The story of the westward movement of population in the United States is,in the main,the story of the expansion of American agriculture-of the development of new areas for the raising of livestock and the cultivation of wheat,corn,tobacco,and cotton. After 1815 improved transportation enabled more and more western farmers to escape a self-sufficient way of life and enter a national market economy during periods when commodity prices were high,the rate of westward migration increased spectacularly.“Old America seemed to be breaking up and moving westward,” observed an English visitor in 1817,during the first great wave of migration. Emigration to the west reached a peak in the 1830's,whereas in 1810 only a seventy of the American people lived west of the Appalachian mountains,by 1840 more than a third lived there.
What can be inferred from paragraph 1 about western farmers prior to 1815?
○They had limited their crop production to wheat, corn, tobacco, and cotton.
○They were able to sell their produce at high prices.
○They had not been successful in raising cattle.
○They did not operate in a national market economy.
答案D
对应关键句:After 1815 improved transportation enabled more and more western farmers to escape a self-sufficient way of life and enter a national market economy during periods when commodity prices were high, the rate of westward migration increased spectacularly.
B直接对比:两个或多个事物的特征--如原文会出现
A的特点,然后会有B和A相比较的信息,然后题目问B的特点?
解决方案:收集题干所问的推断对象(about后面的信息一般为推断对象)的全部信息(一般为上述的B),然后在原文所描述的与之相关的信息(一般为上述的A)的基础之上取反。
注意原文中出现的表示对比的关系词:by contrast, unlike, while, whereas,on the contrary, in comparison to, distinct from, different from等词。
