托福乾貨,沒見過這麼變態的題

每次考完,大家要麼感覺時間不夠用,要麼覺得題目很難,要麼覺得人品差;可是,抱怨之後,又能怎樣呢?如果不好好分析題目難在什麼地方,以後可能會一直犯錯!

今天,我們結合今天考試原題Sociality in Animals這篇文章,來看看現在題目難在什麼地方。

託福乾貨,沒見過這麼變態的題

這也是5月精讀團和封閉班的文章,其中一個句子簡化題是這樣:

In fact, living socially presents inevitable problems that transcend habitat needs so that only when these costs are offset by corresponding benefits is group living a plus.

句子能看明白嗎?

難點在於:so that 後面,是一個only前置的倒裝,如果還原成正常的語序,應該是:

group living is a plus only when these costs are offset by corresponding benefits

同時句子還有一個單詞非常關鍵:plus!

plus大家會想到 iPhone 8 plus,表示+的意思,可是這裡,表達的意思是:優勢,好處的意思!

所以,可以看出,現在考試,對大家語法基本功要求是非常高的,類似倒裝,虛擬語氣等語法難點,大家必須要過關!否則,出來混,遲早要還的!

接著我們再看下一個題:

託福乾貨,沒見過這麼變態的題

Another difficulty is that concentrations of individuals facilitate disease and parasite transmission. On the whole, social animals carry more parasites and species-specific diseases than do solitary animals. Parasites and diseases diminish the strength and limit the growth of animals, and among highly social creatures, epidemics can devastate whole populations. Distemper (a viral disease) has been known to wipe out entire colonies of seals, for instance. So the penalty of social life is potentially huge.

5. In paragraph 3, why does the author mention distemper and its effect onseals?

A. To explain why sociality is now relatively rare in seals

B. To prove that parasites prevent animals from growing healthy and strong

C. To show how easily social animals transmit potentially deadly diseases

D. To provide an example of a species-specific disease that affects solitary animals

選好之後,我們來點評一下,首先,選D的同學,你們直接掉進了ETS的大坑裡面,大家睜大眼睛看清楚啦:

D. To provide an example of a species-specific disease that affects solitary animals

D是solitary!solitary!solitary!

原文要表達的應該是群居,也就是 sociality的壞處!

sociality 和 solitary !傻傻分不清楚啊!!!

A無中生有應該不會有同學選吧,如果選了A,面壁去吧~~~

再看看大家會很糾結的 B 和 C 選項,因為這個例子的中心句是:Another difficulty is that concentrations of individuals facilitate disease and parasite transmission. 還算很容易找到,但是,B和C感覺都對啊!我們仔細對比一下選項,發現,B是強調parasite,C是強調 disease,再看看例子,Distemper 是一種 disease!所以選C!

明白套路了嗎? 這個題的思路我在精讀團強調很多次!現在命題的趨勢,一定是越來越難找到中心,甚至,它會拿中心句裡面的非中心詞來干擾大家,打個比方:

廣州很繁華 and 很熱。比如,今天氣溫都40度了。

問:為什麼作者要提到氣溫40度?

答案選:熱

而,繁華,成為了一個干擾選項。

託福乾貨,沒見過這麼變態的題

看懂了嗎?所以!有真題沒用,刷再多真題也沒用,好好研究真題,好好發現真題裡面的出題思路,對大家才有幫助,我們精讀團,送大家40篇真題,也是希望大家能夠在方法掌握的基礎之上,再去刷題!這

樣,才能有本質的提高!
