托福考试的阅读理解有这样一种题型，文章中标出A、B、C、D四个位置，让考生将所句子放在最合适的位置，从而使文章逻辑连贯，前后呼应，通顺合理。下面是我从《新托福一遍通 阅读应试指南(基础篇)》(高等教育出版社2008年6月第一版)一书中选择的三篇文章，同学们练一练，找一找感觉。 例文一、从文中A、B、C、D中选择一个最合适的位置，将句子This is close to the real meaning, a carrying of things or people from one place to another.加入文中。 Do you want to increase your vocabulary? A good way to do this is to break long English words into smaller parts. These parts are called roots(词根), prefixes(前缀), and suffixes(后缀). A) They have meanings that are easy to remember. In the word transportation, the root is port. This means to carry. The prefix is trans. This means across. The suffix is tion. This means the word is a noun. B) So, we could guess that transportation means something like carrying across. C) Once you learn some of the common roots, prefixes, and suffixes, you can figure out(想出，断定) the meanings of many other unfamiliar(不熟悉的) English words. D) 例文二、从文中A、B、C、D中选择一个最合适的位置，将句子This band of colors is called a spectrum(光谱).加入文中。 The sun sends out a very, very large amount of light. A) Only about one billionth of it reaches us. Sunlight is a mixture of colors. We can see these colors through a prism(三棱镜). A prism is a specially shaped piece of glass. The light is bent a little passing through the prism. Then, it shows as a band of colors. B) First, there is red, which is bent the least. Next is orange, then yellow, green, blue, and violet. Violet is bent the most. C) There are also thousands of sharp, dark lines crossing the band. Scientists study these lines and learn many different things. D) |
