1、考察能力1、相关语句和词汇的理解2、对于语段中的逻辑顺序的把握第1页/共27页题目特征Lookatthefoursquaresthatindicatewherethefollowingsentencecouldbeaddedtothepassage.(Youwillseeasentenceinbold)Wherewouldthesentencebestfit?Clickonatoaddthesentencetothepassage.第2页/共27页Question:在托福阅读中,为什么不论插入题出现在文章的那个位置,这种题都位于总结题之前,存在于倒数第二题的位置呢?第3页/共27页ETS是一个
2、很人性化的机构,如果这类题出现在前几道题的位置,选错了会对文章的理解造成影响,影响做其它题。插入的句子对文章本身的影响有多大?和几句话相关?如果和前后两句话都相关,是不是把它拿掉了,就会对文章有较大的影响?只需要找出待插入的句子跟前后某一句话的逻辑联系即可。第4页/共27页英语句子间的衔接手法(cohesivedevices)该题型重点考查英文句子间的逻辑语义关系,即英文中句子与句子是如何衔接在一起的。第5页/共27页Cohesive devices1.代词(Pronouns)具体包括人称代词、指示代词和关系代词等(personal,demonstrative,relative,etc)。在上
3、下句的关联中,代词是最为紧密的一类词。当作者再次谈及上句相关话题时,为了避免重复,遵循语言学的最简单化原理,作者会用代词指代该话题词。例:例:Speakingaforeignlanguageisanenormousassetinthemodernworld.Thisiswhysomanyjuniorhighschoolsarenowofferinglanguageclasses.Todaysteachersarefacedwithastarkchoice.Theymustdecidewhethertoteachinawaythathelpsstudentpassstandardizedexam
4、sorteachinawaythatactuallyhelpsstudentslearn.第6页/共27页Cohesive devices2.定冠词the+名词(specificarticles+nouns)名词所指对象第一次出现时,用不定冠词a连接,当后句再次提及该名词对象时,为了表示它和前一句名词是同一关系,会用定冠词the引出。例如:Awomaniswalkingintoourclassroom.Thewomanisourteacher.第7页/共27页Cohesive devices3.重复话题词或同义近义改写(Repetition,synonym,orslightvariationo
5、faword)上下句的衔接也可以通过重复话题词实现,或者是对该话题词进行相关改写。例如:Tofosterhealthyrelationshipsbetweenchildreninaclassroom,teachersshouldprovidetimeforgamesandfunactivities.Havinghealthyrelationshipswiththeirpeershelpschildrengainconfidenceusefulinotherpartsoftheirlives.(重复话题词)Beforechoosingapublicorprivateschoolfortheirc
6、hildren,parentsshouldtakeintoaccountthecost.Thepriceofaprivateschoolisusuallymuchhigherthanthatofapublicschool.(话题词同义改写)第8页/共27页Cohesive devices4.过渡性词和词组(Transitionalphrases/transitionaladverbs)上面讲到的三种句间关系属于隐性关系。隐性关系通过上下句的语义关系体现。现在,我们要讲的是句子间的显性关系,即通过明显的逻辑连词或副词来体现句间关系。这些显性关系词包括以下类别。4.1时间关系then,next,l

9、一句话,就会改变代词的指代对象。但是有例外存在,比如一段中只有一个主语。)Suggestion 3优先考虑段落最后的空。(因为放在最末尾,对文章内容影响小。)第12页/共27页Example 1:Extinctbutalreadyfullymarinecetaceansareknownfromthefossilrecord.Howwasthegapbetweenawalkingmammalandaswimmingwhalebridged?Missinguntilrecentlywerefossilsclearlyintermediate,ortransitional,betweenlandma
