托福阅读指代类问题
在托福阅读中,经常会遇到指代类问题。
这类问题跟考察词汇意思的问题相似。
通常形式为:The word X in the passage refers to,X为代词,在文中用阴影标出。题目中的四个选项多出自原文,但只有一个词是X所指带的词。
我们先来看一个例子:
The astrological nature of the Mayan use of astronomical data explains in part why so few written records exist of that data. The Mayans believed that the passage of the sun continued throughout the night, only, then, it was traveling through the underworld. This was believed to be a perilous journey, with many demonic figures lurking in the darkness, waiting to ambush the sun to prevent it from returning to the sky at dawn. .
Question: The word it in the passage refers to
A. night
B. sun
C. passage
D. data
正确答案为B。
从上一句可以看出,这句话描述的是太阳的运动轨迹,其它选项都不正确。
Strategies to answer this question:
1. 读问题,确定指代词类型;
2. 将指代词定位到原文中,阅读上下文,确定答案。通常答案会在指代词前面出现;
3. 将答案放到原文中,检查上下文是否通顺合理。
这类问题其实并不是很难,大家只要仔细认真,就可以得分。
