托福閱讀句子插入題怎么做?技巧三:原文聯系排除法——可能會有刷題比較多的同學提問,如果新句子中既沒有代詞也沒有邏輯,那要怎么辦呢?不要慌張,如果覺得新句子給到的線索不太多,也可以結合小方塊前后原文本身的聯系來做排除法。一起來看下面的例題吧!

例題三:
Speculation on the origin of these Pacific islanders began as soon as outsiders encountered them, in the absence of solid linguistic, archaeological, and biological data, many fanciful and mutually exclusive theories were devised. Pacific islanders are variously thought to have come from North America, South America, Egypt, Israel, and India, as well as Southeast Asia. ■Many older theories implicitly deprecated the navigational abilities and overall cultural creativity of the Pacific islanders. ■For example, British anthropologists G. Elliot Smith and W. J. Perry assumed that only Egyptians would have been skilled enough to navigate and colonize the Pacific. ■They inferred that the Egyptians even crossed the Pacific to found the great civilizations of the New World (North and South America). ■In 1947 Norwegian adventurer Thor Heyerdahl drifted on a balsa-log raft westward with the winds and currents across the Pacific from South America to prove his theory that Pacific islanders were Native Americans (also called American Indians). Later Heyerdahl suggested that the Pacific was peopled by three migrations: by Native Americans from the Pacific Northwest of North America drifting to Hawaii, by Peruvians drifting to Easter Island, and by Melanesians. In 1969 he crossed the Atlantic in an Egyptian-style reed boat to prove Egyptian influences in the Americas. Contrary to these theorists, the overwhelming evidence of physical anthropology, linguistics, and archaeology shows that the Pacific islanders came from Southeast Asia and were skilled enough as navigators to sail against the prevailing winds and currents.
13. Look at the four squares [■] that indicate where the following sentence could be added to the passage.
Later theories concentrate on journeys in the other direction.
Where could the sentence best fit?
我們還是先翻譯一下新句子:之后的理論集中在另外方向的旅行。可以發現,這個句子沒有代詞,也沒有明顯的邏輯關系詞,非常適合實踐一下我們的新技巧,分析原文的聯系。
首先,我們來看第一個小方塊,后面說到了Many older theories很多更早的理論,而我們這個新句子說的是之后的理論,在沒有任何展開的情況下,是沒辦法直接連上以前的理論的,所以第一個選項pass。
其次,我們來看第二個小方塊,后面說到了For example舉例,這個例子說明的就是前面一句older theorie的內容,所以第二個選項pass。
再次,我們來看第三個小方塊,后面說到了They inferred他們推斷,這里的他們指代的就是上一句中British anthropologists G. Elliot Smith and W. J. Perry,所以第三個選項pass。剩下來的第四個小方塊就是我們的答案了。
以上就是能夠在20分這個分數段做好修辭目的題和句子插入題的六個技巧,大家趕緊實踐起來吧!祝愿大家都能拿高分、沖滿分!
