托福干货,没见过这么变态的题

每次考完,大家要么感觉时间不够用,要么觉得题目很难,要么觉得人品差;可是,抱怨之后,又能怎样呢?如果不好好分析题目难在什么地方,以后可能会一直犯错!

今天,我们结合今天考试原题Sociality in Animals这篇文章,来看看现在题目难在什么地方。

托福干货,没见过这么变态的题

这也是5月精读团和封闭班的文章,其中一个句子简化题是这样:

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.

句子能看明白吗?

难点在于:so that 后面,是一个only前置的倒装,如果还原成正常的语序,应该是:

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

同时句子还有一个单词非常关键:plus!

plus大家会想到 iPhone 8 plus,表示+的意思,可是这里,表达的意思是:优势,好处的意思!

所以,可以看出,现在考试,对大家语法基本功要求是非常高的,类似倒装,虚拟语气等语法难点,大家必须要过关!否则,出来混,迟早要还的!

接着我们再看下一个题:

托福干货,没见过这么变态的题

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

选好之后,我们来点评一下,首先,选D的同学,你们直接掉进了ETS的大坑里面,大家睁大眼睛看清楚啦:

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

D是solitary!solitary!solitary!

原文要表达的应该是群居,也就是 sociality的坏处!

sociality 和 solitary !傻傻分不清楚啊!!!

A无中生有应该不会有同学选吧,如果选了A,面壁去吧~~~

再看看大家会很纠结的 B 和 C 选项,因为这个例子的中心句是:Another difficulty is that concentrations of individuals facilitate disease and parasite transmission. 还算很容易找到,但是,B和C感觉都对啊!我们仔细对比一下选项,发现,B是强调parasite,C是强调 disease,再看看例子,Distemper 是一种 disease!所以选C!

明白套路了吗? 这个题的思路我在精读团强调很多次!现在命题的趋势,一定是越来越难找到中心,甚至,它会拿中心句里面的非中心词来干扰大家,打个比方:

广州很繁华 and 很热。比如,今天气温都40度了。

问:为什么作者要提到气温40度?

答案选:热

而,繁华,成为了一个干扰选项。

看懂了吗?所以!有真题没用,刷再多真题也没用,好好研究真题,好好发现真题里面的出题思路,对大家才有帮助,我们精读团,送大家40篇真题,也是希望大家能够在方法掌握的基础之上,再去刷题!这

样,才能有本质的提高!
