【实例解析】如何准确分析作者思路结构？从3个要点入手 在托福阅读的备考过程中，相信我们都能感觉到，想要快速理解整篇文章的内容含义，准确把握出作者的写作思路是非常重要的环节。同样，写作思路这一问题对于我们的托福写作提升，也是会有很大帮助。那么，究竟什么是写作思路，在阅读理解的过程中，我们又该怎样去清晰的分析作者的思路呢? 托福阅读例子 原文： Geologists have long known that the Earth’s mantle is heterogeneous， but its spatial arrangement remains unresolved—is the mantle essentially layered or irregularly heterogeneous? The best evidence for the layered-mantle thesis is the well-established fact that volcanic rocks found on oceanic islands， islands believed to result from mantle plumes arising from the lower mantle，are composed of material fundamentally different from that of the midocean ridge system， whose source， most geologists contend， is the upper mantle.Some geologists， however， on the basis of observations concerning mantle xenoliths， argue that the mantle is not layered， but that heterogeneity is created by fluids rich in “incompatible elements” (elements tending toward liquid rather than solid state) percolating upward and transforming portions of the upper mantle irregularly， according to the vagaries of the fluids’ pathways. We believe， perhaps unimaginatively， that this debate can be resolved through further study， and that the underexplored midocean ridge system is the key。 一、难词 spatial： a.1.空间的，太空的;2.存在(或者发生)于宇宙空间的 plume： n.1.羽状物2.柱，地柱 xenolith：俘虏岩 percolate：v.1.渗透2.扩散到，弥漫于 portions： n。一部分 二、难句 难句1.the best evidence for the layered-mantle thesis is the well-established fact that volcanic rocks found on oceanic islands，islands believed to result from mantle plumes arising from the lower mantle，are composed of material fundamentally different from that of the mid-ocean ridge system， whose source，most　geologists contend，is the upper mantle。 对于地幔分层论点来说，最好的证据乃这样一个确认的事实，即在那些海洋岛屿——这些岛屿据信是源于由下层地幔升上来的地幔柱状溶岩流(mantle plume)——上发现的火山岩石，是由与海洋中部山脊系统的物质根本不同的物质构成的，而这一海洋中部山脊系统的成因，大多数地质学家论辩道，为上部地幔。 难句类型：复杂修饰、插入语 解释：本句前面的主干并不算难，即the evidence is the fact that，难就难在fact之后说明fact 的同位语从句。此从句中既有大段插入语，又有从句，较为难读。同位语从句的主语是volcanic
