托福閱讀事實(shí)信息題講解

本期新通教育西安托福老師孫茜講解的是托福閱讀事實(shí)信息題。希望老師的思路能給正在備考托福閱讀的同學(xué)帶來一些思路。

事實(shí)信息題是托福考察較多題型，今天我們就托福tpo的一個(gè)事實(shí)信息題進(jìn)行講解，把握一下做題方法，理清出現(xiàn)的長(zhǎng)難句，積累文章中的相應(yīng)詞匯。

The availability of steam power and the demands for new machines facilitated the transformation of the iron industry. Charcoal, made from wood and thus in limited supply, was replaced with coal-derived coke (substance left after coal is heated) as steam-driven bellows came into use for producing of raw iron. Impurities were burnt away with the use of coke, producing a high-quality refined iron. Reduced cost was also instrumental in developing steam-powered rolling mills capable of producing finished iron of various shapes and sizes. The resulting boom in the iron industry expanded the annual iron output by more than 170 times between 1740 and 1840, and by the 1850s Great Britain was producing more tons of iron than the rest of the world combined. The developments in the iron industry were in part a response to the demand for more machines and the ever-widening use of higher-quality iron in other industries.

8.According to paragraph 3, why was the use of coke important for the iron industry?

A. It helped make wood into charcoal.

B. It reduced the dependency on steam-powered machines used for the production of iron.

C. It replaced charcoal in the production of raw and refined iron.

D. It powered the machines used to extract coal in coal mines.

題目問的是coke在煉鐵工業(yè)中為何重要，因此我們可以拿coke做細(xì)定位，第三段中尋找到第二三句話Charcoal, made from wood and thus in limited supply, was replaced with coal-derived coke (substance left after coal is heated) as steam-driven bellows came into use for producing of raw iron. Impurities were burnt away with the use of coke, producing a high-quality refined iron.我們看句子很長(zhǎng)，應(yīng)該先找主干，第二個(gè)句子的主干即Charcoal was replaced with coal-derived coke，即木炭被coke所替代，后面的for producing of raw iron說明用來生產(chǎn)生鐵，而中間的made from wood and thus in limited supply放在主謂之間為插入語，補(bǔ)充次要信息，這里同時(shí)也是非謂語動(dòng)詞修飾charcoal，即由木頭制成因此具有有限供應(yīng)的木炭，后面的as steam-driven bellows came into use為時(shí)間狀語，修飾謂語動(dòng)詞replace，說明當(dāng)水蒸氣驅(qū)動(dòng)的風(fēng)箱投入使用的時(shí)候取代。接著看第三句話，主干即一個(gè)被動(dòng)語態(tài)句子Impurities were burnt away即雜質(zhì)被燒掉，后面跟著狀語 with the use of coke伴隨著coke的使用，產(chǎn)生了高質(zhì)量的精鐵。我們把這兩句分析完，答案也就出來了，選C。當(dāng)然做題的時(shí)候不用把句子分析翻譯這么細(xì)致，這道題把主干分析出來，答案自然也出來了。因此對(duì)于事實(shí)信息題，考察大家耐心細(xì)致的同時(shí)對(duì)我們的句子分析能力和長(zhǎng)難句理解能力也進(jìn)行了考察，希望大家課后多做長(zhǎng)難句分析練習(xí)，對(duì)語法現(xiàn)象了然于心。
