托福句子简化题答题方法

2010-06-07来源:和谐英语
  接下来我们来看一道例题,可以直接通过逻辑关系和程度词来进行判断:
  Virtually all animals experience pain. Pain is a distress call from the body signaling some damaging stimulus or internal disorder. It is one of the most important sensations because it is translated into a negative reaction, such as withdrawal from danger. Rare individuals who are born without the ability to feel pain may die from such condition as a ruptured appendix because they are unaware of the danger.
  Which sentence below best expresses the essential information in the highlighted sentence in the passage? Incorrect choices change the meaning in important ways or leave out essential information.
  A. Escaping from danger is a negative reaction, but it is the most important thing an individual learns.
  B. The ability to sense pain is extremely important because pain signals the body to respond to a threat.
  C. Experiencing pain is one type of reaction to a negative stimulus; another type is avoiding danger.
  D. We experience a lot of sensations, and the most important ones are translated into appropriate actions.
  原句中的because可以看出其逻辑关系为因果关系,而且有程度词绝对化词汇most。根据most这个绝对化词汇我们可以排除C选项。因为原文当中带有绝对化词汇而选项中没有,那么这个选项为必错选项。然后A句中为转折关系——but,D句中没有明显的逻辑关系,只有B有because 这个词,同时B中的extremely可以作为most的同义替换。所以正确答案为B。
  所以建议考生在应对句子简化题的时候要一抓逻辑关系词,二抓句子主干成分,平时多看多分析一些长句难句,才能在有限的时间内解决这种非常费时的题型。
