托福阅读逻辑之转折关系解析

2015-01-28 15:27:01来源:网络

  托福阅读备考我们需要掌握大量的词汇以及长难句的理解和一些背景材料,如果勤练习真题加上方法技巧,相信大家会有不错的收获。下面是新东方在线托福小编整理的托福阅读逻辑之转折关系解析,供同学们参考!

  如果托福阅读文章中一句话与另一句话存在转折关系,通常要有表示转折的逻辑关系词,而且一般情况下语义重心都是转折后的内容。我们在分析句子间的转折关系前,要明确表示转折的逻辑词都有哪些。它们通常包括but ,yet ,however ,whereas ,on the contrary, contrary to ,in contrast等。当托福阅读修辞目的题中的定位句与前文存在转折关系时,通常作者的意图是反驳前文的某种观点或者否定前文的内容。

  下面举两个例子进行具体分析

  例1:In Europe, before the introduction of the mechanical clock, people told time by sun (using, for example, shadow sticks or sun dials) and water clocks. Sun clocks worked, of course, only on clear days; water clocks misbehaved when the temperature fell toward freezing, to say nothing of long-run drift as the result of sedimentation and clogging. Both these devices worked well in sunny climates; but in northern Europe the sun may be hidden by clouds for weeks at a time, while temperatures vary not only seasonally but from day to night.

  Why does the author provide the information that ”in northern Europe the sun may be hidden by clouds for weeks at a time, while temperatures vary not only seasonally but from day to night”?

  To emphasize the variety of environments in which people used sun and water

  clocks to tell time

  To illustrate the disadvantage of sun and water clocks

  To provide an example of an area where water clocks have an advantage over

  sun clocks

  To counter the claim that sun and water clocks were used all over Europe

  托福阅读试题解析:

  (1) 通过题干定位到文中最后一句话中but的后面,but一词表明后面的内容是与前面是转折关系,后面说:但是在北欧,太阳可能一下被乌云遮住几个星期,同时气温也不仅只随着季节变化,早晚也有温差。
