托福閱讀推斷題技巧,來(lái)看一個(gè)題型。
Which of the following can be inferred from paragraph 3 about gushers?

題干中出現(xiàn)“infer”,判定為推斷題,可以以“gushers”為定位詞閱讀理解定位句后推理。
Petroleum Resources
Oil pools are valuable underground accumulations of oil, and oil fields are regions underlain by one or more oil pools. When an oil pool or field has been discovered, wells are drilled into the ground. Permanent towers, called derricks, used to be built to handle the long sections of drilling pipe. Now portable drilling machines are set up and are then dismantled and removed. When the well reaches a pool, oil usually rises up the well because of its density difference with water beneath it or because of the pressure of expanding gas trapped above it. Although this rise of oil is almost always carefully controlled today, spouts of oil, or gushers, were common in the past.
不要被ETS爸爸的妖魔鬼怪嚇到呀!安安靜靜地查找gushers這個(gè)詞,相信你一定能看到“although…gushers…in the past”最后一句話。恰好,這句話出現(xiàn)了“although”「句間邏輯」考點(diǎn),那推理一定是圍繞著轉(zhuǎn)折話題上。
套用剛剛的思路,理解轉(zhuǎn)折重點(diǎn)是匹配反義詞組。而在這句話中rise of oil=spouts of oil= gushers, 剩下的詞語(yǔ)中就能找到了“controlled”VS “common” + “today”VS “in the past”兩組反義詞。也就是說(shuō),在這句話中controlled=uncommon/ common=did not control.
明白了這層語(yǔ)意后,我們來(lái)看下選項(xiàng)。
A. They make bringing the oil to the surface easier.
B. They signal the presence of huge oil reserves.
C. They waste more oil than they collect.
D.They are unlikely to occur nowadays.
四個(gè)選項(xiàng)時(shí)態(tài)均為一般現(xiàn)在時(shí),意味著對(duì)現(xiàn)在gushers狀況推斷。而定語(yǔ)句分析中,我們已經(jīng)知道,它的特點(diǎn)是“controlled=uncommon”.D選項(xiàng)“unlikely to occur=uncommon=controlled”,是不是就乖乖到你碗里了~
看,不管閱讀題怎么出,只要你能讀懂邏輯內(nèi)容,根本難不倒你~
