托福阅读部分高分关键在于推理题解法。尽管托福考试中此类题所占比例较少,但却是考生获得满分或高分的最大障碍。此类题特点在于原文中未明确说明,其含义在其中(implied),也就是说,要考生通过适当的理解并运用推理、判断、归纳等方式,找出文中某个词或句子的特殊含义,或者判断出句子与句子之间或段落与段落之间关系。有些考生对此类题往往不知从何入手,凭一般感觉解题,这样虽然可以解对几题,但获得全对可能性极小。
推理模式
其特点是利用文中某个词汇、词组、句子含义进行外延及相关性引伸。如根据“teacher”——教师,可推现教师经常上课,应保护嗓子,或根据舞蹈演员推理出身体灵活等。此类题关键在于文中关键词汇的合理引伸,一般寻找此类引伸方法可以用如下图形表达:
例1:After the administration of lighthouses was taken over in 1852by the United States Lighthouse Board, an agency of the Treasury Department, the keeper corp gradually became highly professional.
It can be inferred from the passage that the Treasury Department, after assuming control of the lighthouses, improved which of the following?
(A) The training of the lighthouse
(B) The sturdiness of the lighthouses
(C) The visibility of the lights
(D) The locations of the lighthouses
提示:原文中提到在1852 the United States Lighthouse Board接管灯塔管理之后,看灯人就日趋专业化。
推理:从专业化到看灯人的培训得到改善,因而答案为(A)。
例2:Marths Graham’s territory of innumerable dances and a self-sufficient dance technique are a vast but closed territory, since to create and art out of one’s experience alone is ultimately a self-limiting act.
According to the passage, which of the following most influenced Martha Graham’s dances and techniques?
(A) Her own experiences
(B) Exotic and idyllic themes
(C) Familiar classical stories
(D) The works of St. Denis
提示:通过因果关系表明(since),既然只源于自己经验产生的艺术是自我限制的行为,Martha Grahama的舞蹈领域自然就是封闭的,进而表明 Martha Grahama的舞蹈源于自己的经验。答案为(A)。
