    TYPE 4修飾目的題
    Question:帶有the author mentions, 作者提到某單詞或某句話的目的是什么?那一部分會(huì)加深背景,標(biāo)記上
    這類題題分兩種情況
    First,提到的部分是例子,或者細(xì)節(jié)信息,通常有 For example, such as這些詞,在上一個(gè)題型中,我提到了,如果有舉例的話要往前讀,找到它支持的觀點(diǎn)。答案就是為了支持這個(gè)例子所支持的觀點(diǎn)。
    比如說(shuō):我對(duì)她很好。我每個(gè)月工資都給她。
    問(wèn)題:why does the author mentions 我每個(gè)月工資都給她?
    答案:to support the idea that 我對(duì)她很好。
    以上是正常的解題思路,下面請(qǐng)看
    無(wú)恥技巧5:當(dāng)原文中被標(biāo)記的部分在such as或for example之后,帶有 provide example of 的選項(xiàng),基本是正確的
    看具體的例子:
    Paragraph 2: Sensitivity to physical laws is thus an important consideration for the maker of applied-art objects. It is often taken for granted that this is also true for the maker of fine-art objects. This assumption misses a significant difference between the two disciplines. Fine-art objects are not constrained by the laws of physics in the same way that applied-art objects are. Because their primary purpose is not functional, they are only limited in terms of the materials used to make them. Sculptures must, for example, be stable, which requires an understanding of the properties of mass, weight distribution, and stress. Paintings must have rigid stretchers so that the canvas will be taut, and the paint must not deteriorate, crack, or discolor. These are problems that must be overcome by the artist because they tend to intrude upon his or her conception of the work. For example, in the early Italian Renaissance, bronze statues of horses with a raised foreleg usually had a cannonball under that hoof. This was done because the cannonball was needed to support the weight of the leg. In other words, the demands of the laws of physics, not the sculptor's aesthetic intentions, placed the ball there. That this device was a necessary structural compromise is clear from the fact that the cannonball quickly disappeared when sculptors learned how to strengthen the internal structure of a statue with iron braces (iron being much stronger than bronze).
    6. Why does the author discuss the bronze statues of horses created by artists in the early Italian Renaissance?
    ○To provide an example of a problem related to the laws of physics that a fine artist must overcome
    ○To argue that fine artists are unconcerned with the laws of physics
    ○To contrast the relative sophistication of modern artists in solving problems related to the laws of physics
    ○To note an exceptional piece of art constructed without the aid of technology
    這類題不用找關(guān)鍵詞了,直接給你了,也不用自己找定位句了,文章標(biāo)記了。直接讀定位句,F(xiàn)or example, in the early Italian Renaissance, bronze statues of horses with a raised foreleg usually had a cannonball under that hoof
    運(yùn)用無(wú)恥技巧,直接選擇A。
    正常做題,for example 讀前一句,these are problems that…………我之間講過(guò)定從不用讀,只讀觀點(diǎn)。觀點(diǎn)就是這些是問(wèn)題。所以選擇A
    Second,第二種類型,標(biāo)記的部分本身就是觀點(diǎn),那么找同義轉(zhuǎn)述即可,類似細(xì)節(jié)題。
    Second,第二種類型,標(biāo)記的部分本身就是觀點(diǎn),那么找同義轉(zhuǎn)述即可,類似細(xì)節(jié)題。
    Eg:Tools themselves can be revealing. Long-handed Neolithic spoons of yew wood preserved in Alpine villages dating to 3000 B.C. have survived; the signs of rubbing on their left side indicate that their users were right-handed. The late Ice Age rope found in the French cave of Lascaux consists of fibers spiraling to the right, and was therefore tressed by a righthander.
    In paragraph 5, why does the author mention the Ice Age rope found in the French cave of Lascaux?
    ○ As an example of an item on which the marks of wear imply that it was used by a right-handed person
    ○ Because tressing is an activity that is easier for a right-handed person than for a left-handed person
    ○ Because the cave of Lascaux is the site where researchers have found several prehistoric tools made for right-handed people
    ○ As an example of an item whose construction shows that it was right handed made by a right-person
    先找到那句話,The late Ice Age rope found in the French cave of Lascaux consists of fibers spiraling to the right, and was therefore tressed by a righthander.在L的法國(guó)洞穴發(fā)現(xiàn)的冰河晚期的繩索是由向右旋轉(zhuǎn)的纖維組成的,因此它是有個(gè)右撇子編的。它本身是帶有觀點(diǎn)的,所以找這個(gè)觀點(diǎn)的同義轉(zhuǎn)述,直選D。
    兩種題型的解決方案我介紹完了,有的同學(xué)在實(shí)戰(zhàn)中可能會(huì)遇到這樣的問(wèn)題,有一些不帶for example 和such as這種明確表述舉例的詞或者句子,自己又不會(huì)判斷它是支持信息還是觀點(diǎn),這樣的問(wèn)題比較少,遇到的話,先讀自己那句,如果選項(xiàng)里面有同義轉(zhuǎn)述,直接選。如果沒(méi)有說(shuō)明是支持信息,往前讀。
    Any rock that cooled and solidfied from a molten state is an igneous rock.Therefore, if the Earth bagan as a superheated sphere in space,all the rocks making up its crust may well have been igneous and thus the ancestors of all other rocks.Even today, approximately 95 percent of the entire crust is igneous.
    Question: the author mentions that 95%of the entire crust is igneous to support the idea that
    A the Earth began as a molten mass
    B a thin layer of magma flows beneath the Earth’s crust.
    C the minerals found in igneous rock are very commen
    D igneous rock is continually being formed
    首先看這句話,大約地殼的百分之九十五都是炙熱的。其實(shí)很好判斷它是支持信息,因?yàn)閹в袛?shù)字的一定是細(xì)節(jié),數(shù)字的羅列是為了支持觀點(diǎn)的。好,就算你不知道,按照上面的方法找一下吧,ABCD哪個(gè)選項(xiàng)也不是同義轉(zhuǎn)述。所以就往前讀,找它支持的觀點(diǎn),Therefore, if the Earth bagan as a superheated sphere in space,all the rocks making up its crust may well have been igneous and thus the ancestors of all other rocks. Superheated sphere炙熱的球,看A選項(xiàng),molten mass,就是這個(gè)觀點(diǎn)的同義轉(zhuǎn)述,直接選。
