通過2個例子告訴你託福閱讀修辭目的題如何解
託福閱讀考試要求考生在60分鐘裏完成3篇字數在700以上的文章的閱讀以及每篇文章的12-14道題。託福閱讀考試總計有10大類題型，所以備考時你要對託福閱讀的10大題型的題型結構以及答題方法進行全方位的瞭解。今天小編爲大家帶來了託福閱讀修辭目題2道真題解析，希望對大家的託福閱讀備考有幫助。
託福閱讀修辭目的題的格式是這個樣子的：“why does author mention ”注意這裏的why不是定位文中的because來找答案，而是應採取這樣一種思維即：題幹作爲一個細節，其存在的價值是爲了支撐前面出現的觀點，所以答案在題幹細節出現的位置前面去找，也就是找到觀點 (注意避開其他同樣支撐觀點的細節)
實例1：
Paragraph 6: But neither the human imitativeinstinct nor a penchant for fantasy by itself leads to an autonomous theater.Therefore, additional explanations are needed. One necessary condition seems tobe a somewhat detached view of human problems. For example, one sign of thiscondition is the appearance of the comic vision, since comedy requires sufficientdetachment to view some deviations from social norms as ridiculous rather thanas serious threats to the welfare of the entire group. Another condition thatcontributes to the development of autonomous theater is the emergence of theaesthetic sense.
2. Why does the author mention “comedy”?
A. To give an example of early types of theater.
B. To explain how theater helps a society respond to threats to its welfare.
C. To help explain why detachment is needed for the development of theater.
D. To show how theatrical performers become detached from other members of society.
本題中的comedy雖爲一個小詞，看似不起眼，但是它所存在的句子，句首爲for example，這就構成了明顯的舉例關係，所以答案還是在前面找這個例子所證明的觀點。第一句中的neither直接否定了兩個觀點，後面出現的therefore帶起的句子是個過渡，第三句中才給出了detached view這一觀點，因此看A項中沒有detached相關的內容，排除，B項提到了welfare，無關信息，排除。C和D提到了detach但是D項中的other members沒有提到。故，選C。
實例2：
The fins are stiff, smooth, and narrow, qualities that also help cut drag. When not in use, the fins are tucked into special grooves or depressions so that they lie flush with the body and do not break up its smooth contours. Airplanes retract their landing gear while in flight for the same reason.
1. Why does the author mention that Airplanes retract their landing gear while in flight?
A.To show that air resistance and water resistance work differently from each other.
B.To argue that some fishes are better designed than airplanes are.
C.To provide evidence that airplane engine have studied the design of fish bodies.
D.To demonstrate a similarity in design between certain fishes and airplanes.
本題中的利用題幹中的landing gear很好定位，答案在此信息之前，文章作者用airplane來舉例說明landing gear的功能，它受到這個的啓發來自於fin are tucked into the grooves ordepressions(魚鰭藏於側身凹槽而不會破壞其本身的流線型題型)。而CD選項都提到了design, 但是C提到 了airplane engine，這一概念文中並未提及，所以是錯誤的，正確答案是D項。
