托福阅读指代题解答

　　托福阅读指代题目目前出的不是很多，我们只需要按照几个常用步骤解题就可以了。基本做法是一：向前找，二：主从句主语一致;三：注意数格 四：前文概括总结。

　　这一节按照主从一致的基本标准做3个题目

　　例一

　　From early times pots were used in both religious and secular contexts. The imperial court commissioned work and in the Yuan dynasty (A.D. 1279-1368) an imperial ceramic factory was established at Jingdezhen. Pots played an important part in some religious ceremonies. Long and often lyrical descriptions of the different types of ware exist that assist in classifying pots， although these sometimes confuse an already large and complicated picture.

　　12. The word “these” in the passage refers to(2)

　　○ religious ceremonies

　　○ descriptions

　　○ types of ware

　　○ pots

　　解析：画线句子中，although必然引导从句，所以these 应和主句的主语一样。主句Long and often lyrical descriptions of the different types of ware exist that assist in classifying pots，中，因为状语和of之后的后置定语都不是主要，tion又一定是名词后缀。所以tions一定就是主句主语。因此答案是B. 看似很难的题目，很简单就可以得出结论。

　　例二

　　Animals need natural periodic signals like sunrise to maintain a cycle whose period is precisely 24 hours. Such an external cue not only coordinates an animal's daily rhythms with particular features of the local solar day but also—because it normally does so day after day-seems to keep the internal clock's period close to that of Earth's rotation.

　　11. The word “it” in the passage refers to (1)

　　○ an external cue such as sunrise

　　○ the daily rhythm of an animal

　　○ the local solar day

　　○ a cycle whose period is precisely 24 hours

　　解这个题，同样的道理我们一眼落实到这个句子上了Such an external cue not only coordinates an animal's daily rhythms with particular features of the local solar day but also—because it normally does。。。;it 肯定和主句主语一致。找一下：not only do but also do明显是动词，前面的一定是主语。答案a
