新托福阅读推论题(Inference)在考试中是常考题型那么我们怎么应对推论题的，首先我们要理解托福阅读推论题是指文章中有些论点/观点没有明确阐述，但却强烈暗示出来了的题。例如，文章论述的结果引出了，推论题就可能就造成结果的起因提问。下面我们来具体问题具体分析下此种题型： 例题： Passage：…The nineteenth century brought with it a burst of new discoveries and inventions that revolutionized the candle industry and made lighting available to all. In the early-to-mid-nineteenth century, a process was developed to refine tallow (fat from animals) with alkali and sulfuric acid. The result was a product called stearin. Stearin is harder and burns longer than unrefined tallow. This breakthrough meant that it was possible to make tallow candles that would not produce the usual smoke and rancid odor. Stearins were also derived from palm oils, so vegetable waxes as well as animal fats could be used to make candles… Which of the following can be inferred from paragraph 1 about candles before the nineteenth century? a)They did not smoke when they were burned. b)They produced a pleasant odor as they burned. c)They were not available to all. d)They contained sulfuric acid. [解析] 正确答案是C。这一段的句就告诉我们：19世纪的一些新发明和发现也对蜡烛工业产生了一次巨大的革命，这次革命使得所有的人都使用上了照明。从这句话中我们可以得到两层信息：19世纪蜡烛工业有了一次革命性的变化;在没有这次变革之前，也就是在19世纪以前，照明并不是所有人都能使用的。 因为作者在谈论的是蜡烛的变革，所以这里所说的“lighting照明”一定是与蜡烛有关的照明，其实也就是告诉我们19世纪以前并不是所有人都能够使用到蜡烛带来的照明，这一推论出的信息正好与选项C吻合。 (责任编辑：admin) |
