托福閱讀7天計劃-Day 7 Reference Questions

為了幫助大家更好的備戰(zhàn)托?？荚?/a>，留學監(jiān)理網的老師在這里給大家介紹托福的幾個閱讀提升的方法---托福閱讀7天計劃。

在托福閱讀中，經常會遇到指代類問題。

這類問題跟考察詞匯意思的問題相似。

通常形式為：The word X in the passage refers to，X為代詞，在文中用陰影標出。題目中的四個選項多出自原文，但只有一個詞是X所指帶的詞。

我們先來看一個例子：

The astrological nature of the Mayan use of astronomical data explains in part why so few written records exist of that data. The Mayans believed that the passage of the sun continued throughout the night, only, then, it was traveling through the underworld. This was believed to be a perilous journey, with many demonic figures lurking in the darkness, waiting to ambush the sun to prevent it from returning to the sky at dawn. .

Question: The word it in the passage refers to

A. night

B. sun

C. passage

D. data

正確答案為B。從上一句可以看出，這句話描述的是太陽的運動軌跡，其它選項都不正確。

Strategies to answer this question：

1. 讀問題，確定指代詞類型；

2. 將指代詞定位到原文中，閱讀上下文，確定答案。通常答案會在指代詞前面出現；

3. 將答案放到原文中，檢查上下文是否通順合理。

這類問題其實并不是很難，大家只要仔細認真，就可以得分。

結合上面講到的方法，大家來做幾個練習吧。

Practice:

1. Of course, the verification of the painting required entire teams of people, in addition to the three mentioned above, and took years. By 1993, the announcement was finally made that the long-lost Caravaggio had been found. Rather than sell the painting, which is most likely worth millions of dollars, the Jesuits decided to make it available to the nation of Ireland for viewing. Thus, the painting is on “indefinite loan” to the National Gallery of Ireland. Nevertheless, the painting continues its travels as it features in exhibitions around the world, from the United States to Amsterdam. In 2010, it even travelled back to Rome to be displayed for the 400th anniversary of the painter’s death. A fitting tribute, many would say, to a mysterious master.

The phrase “a mysterious master” refers to

(A) the Jesuits

(B) Rome

(C) The National Gallery of Ireland

(D) Caravaggio

2. Although people commonly associate the word clone with modern scientific advancements, its usage in botany (the study of plants) is far removed from those developments; a clone is, in the world of plants, a completely natural thing, even a common one. Generally speaking, a clone is an individual which is genetically identical to its progenitor, the parent from which the clone was produced. In this type of procreation, only one progenitor is necessary. There are, of course, relatively few animals which reproduce in this way. While certain types of fish, reptiles, and insects (among others) do reproduce asexually, most creatures from the animal kingdom are born from two parent individuals with two discrete sets of genes. In comparison, plants frequently reproduce asexually, creating genetically identical offspring, or clones. The term for this type of procreation is vegetative reproduction, which includes a number of different processes by which various plants multiply.

The phrase “this type of procreation” refers to

(A) becoming genetically identical

(B) reproduction by cloning

(C) birth to a pair of parents

(D) producing individual sets of genes

3. While such interviews can be highly entertaining, they are not necessarily an accurate indication of public opinion. First, they reflect the opinions of only those people who appear at a certain location.

The word “they” refers to

(A)North Americans

(B)news shows

(C)interviews

(D)opinions

4. The fins are stiff, smooth, and narrow, qualities that also help cut drag. When not in use, the fins are tucked into special grooves or depressions so that they lie flush with the body and do not break up its smooth contours.

The word “they” in the passage refers to

A. qualities

B. fins

C. grooves

D. depressions
