智课网TOEFL备考资料 托福阅读句子插入题实例讲解分析 摘要： 托福阅读句子插入题实例讲解分析。小马托福搜集的托福阅读句子插入题实例讲解。句子插入题(InsertText Questions)是托福阅读部分的必考题型，每篇文章后都会有一个该题型;且出题位置固定，为倒数第二道题。该题型的还有一个特征就是固定题干，请跟随小马托福阅读如下文章。  Look at the four squares [] that indicate where thefollowing sentence can beadded to the passage.  Where would the sentence best fit?  文章中会出现四个黑色的方框，要求考生将所给句子插入这四个位置中合适的一个位置。在考试时，只要双击选定的黑色方框即可。这种题型重点考察考生对原文中的上下文语境和句子之间关系的把握。因此，解决这种题型的关键在于仔细阅读待插入句子，从中提取能够承上启下的线索词;然后，根据线索词对上线文作出预测;最后，回到原文读预测内容，并根据原文本身句子间连接的紧密度进行排除即可。【 托福 阅读】  掌握句子与句子之间的关联方法是句子插入题的关键  1、形式上的关联：主要为逻辑词(因果、转折、递进等)和指代词;  2、语义上的关联：重复的概念;  下面来看一道例题：Whatdo you remember about your life before you were three? Few people canremember anything that happened to them in their earlyyears.Adults memories of the next fewyears also tend to be scanty.Most people remember only a few events--usually ones thatweremeaningful and distinctive，such as beinghospitalized or a sibling’ s birth.  Look at the four squares [] that indicate where the following sentence can beadded to thepassage.  Other importantoccasions are school graduations and weddings.  Where would the sentence best fit?  解析：仔细阅读所给句子，从中提取线索词;该句表示其它的重要事件包括毕业和结婚，句中主语otherimportant occasions出现了other这个指示代词，因此，我们可以预测前文一定出现过某些事件。接下来，我们回到原文中至少从第一个黑方框前一句话开始阅读，在原文中寻找预测的内容。在文章中的最后一句，说大多数人仅仅记得一些事件(a few events)，即那些有意义的和独特的，例如住院或者兄弟姐妹的出生。因此，other important occasions应该放在a few events之后，所以待插入句子只能放在最后的位置。  在以上内容中，我们了解了句子插入题(Insert Text Questions)主要考察的是句子与句子之间的关联方式，并且分析了一道例题。这一章，我们继续来分析一道例题，然后再来研究一下这种题型的出题原理。  Extinct but already fully marine cetaceans are known from the fossil record.
