托福阅读解题技巧

　　在托福阅读中，不仅有问题不需要思考太多就能直接从原文中找到答案，还有问题需要积极思考和分析才能得出结论。修辞题无疑属于后一个问题。因此，如果你想做正确的问题，考生必须掌握解决问题的方法和思路。下面沈阳托福培训的老师就结合案例给大家具体介绍一下。

　　托福阅读修辞题出题方法简介

　　托福阅读修辞题的格式是这样的：“why does author mention “请注意，这里的why不是定位文本中的because来找到答案，而是要采取这样的思维，即题目作为细节，存在的意义是支持前面的观点，所以答案是在题目细节出现的位置前面找到的，也就是找到观点 (注意避免同样支持观点的其他细节)

　　修辞目的问题解题思路实例分析

　　案例1：

　　Paragraph 6: But neither the human imitativeinstinct nor a penchant for fantasy by itself leads to an autonomous theater.Therefore, additional explanations are needed. One necessary condition seems tobe a somewhat detached view of human problems. For example, one sign of thiscondition is the appearance of the comic vision, since comedy requires sufficientdetachment to view some deviations from social norms as ridiculous rather thanas serious threats to the welfare of the entire group. Another condition thatcontributes to the development of autonomous theater is the emergence of theaesthetic sense.

　　2. Why does the author mention “comedy”?

　　A. To give an example of early types of theater.

　　B. To explain how theater helps a society respond to threats to its welfare.

　　C. To help explain why detachment is needed for the development of theater.

　　D. To show how theatrical performers become detached from other members of society.

　　虽然题中的comedy是一个小词，看似微不足道，但它所存在的句子，首先是foredy example，这就构成了明显的例子关系，所以答案是在前面找到这个例子证明的观点。句子中的neither直接否认了两种观点，后面的therfore驱动的句子是一个过渡，第三句给出了detached view这个观点，所以看a项中没有detached相关信息，排除，B项提到welfare，不相关信息，排除。C和D提到了detach，但D项中的other members没有提及。因此，选择C。

　　案例2：

　　The fins are stiff, smooth, and narrow, qualities that also help cut drag. When not in use, the fins are tucked into special grooves or depressions so that they lie flush with the body and do not break up its smooth contours. Airplanes retract their landing gear while in flight for the same reason.

　　1. Why does the author mention that Airplanes retract their landing gear while in flight?

　　A.To show that air resistance and water resistance work differently from each other.

　　B.To argue that some fishes are better designed than airplanes are.

　　C.To provide evidence that airplane engine have studied the design of fish bodies.

　　D.To demonstrate a similarity in design between certain fishes and airplanes.

　　在题干中使用landing gear定位得很好，答案在此信息之前，文章作者用airplane来说明landing gear的功能，它受到这种启发来自fin are tucked into the grooves ordepressions(鱼鳍隐藏在侧卧凹槽中，不会破坏其自身的流线型问题)。CD选项提到了design，但C提到了airplane engine，这个概念文没有提到，所以是错误的，正确的答案是D项。
