学习的效果常与所使用的学习策略有关,在新托福考试中尤其如此。鉴于此,南京朗阁的老师撰写了一系列关于新托福学习难句把握策略的文章,涉及新托福考试的阅读部分,希望给备考新托福新托福的同学提供正确有效的学习与应试方法。 除了词汇量较大以外,句子结构复杂也是托福阅读的障碍之一。面对难句,必须迅速把握其主干和重点,因为考试时涉及答案的主要是句子的主干和重点,对于句子简化题(sentence simplification)尤其如此。要把握难句的主干和重点,首先要弄清它们的类型。简而言之,托福中的难句主要包括下列类型: 1.定语(包含后置定语与定语从句) 2.同位语 3.并列结构 4.that引导的各种从句 5.插入结构 6.独立主格 7.倒装句 8.强调句 9.虚拟语气 对于不同类型的难句,把握主干的方法也不一样。以倒装句为例,主要有下列情况: 1.现在分词放在句首 Missing until recently were fossils clearly intermediate, or transitional, between land mammals and cetaceans。 2.方位副词放在句首 Herein lay the beginning of what ultimately turned from ignorance to denial of the value of nutritional therapies in medicine。 3.介词放在句首 Among the species of seabirds that use the windswept cliffs of the Atlantic coast of Canada in the summer to mate, lay eggs, and rear their young are common murres, Atlantic puffins, black-legged kittiwakes, and northern gannets。 4. 形容词放在句首 Implicit in it is an aesthetic principle as well: that the medium has certain qualities of beauty and expressiveness with which sculptors must bring own aesthetic sensibilities into harmony。 (责任编辑:admin) |
