托福听力疑难考点解读：术语解释

术语解释类考点在托福听力的讲座类LECTURE中是较为常见的，因为讲座类内容都是学术相关的主题。既然我们听到的是学术类的文章，那么必然会讲到文章中的学术术语。而且很多情况下这个学术术语都会以板书的形式出现在屏幕上，并且停顿1-2秒钟。即当听到“something is called X”, 或者“we can call it X”的时候，大家要警惕了这个术语或者概念就非常有考到的可能。

术语解题考点提问方式简介

这种题目的问题形式大多是“what does the professor say about the X”, “what can we imply about X”做错这个题的考生一是忽略了这个考点。另外，更重要的是考生在听到这个术语出现的时候，只是把术语记了下来，却忽略了后面更重要的解释。

如何在备考中应对术语解释考点题?

在平时的练习中，要解决这个问题，首先一定要对诸如called这样表示定义的词敏感，听到学术词的时候通过简写形式把术语简写下来。听完后面的解释后，重点记下核心形容词，动词等有明确指向性的词，以及表示否定或转折的重要信息，只要做到了这几点，术语解释就基本攻克了。

托福阅读插入题到底考什么?

做题之前，我们先一起了解下，托福阅读题的出题意图是什么：

1、考查是否理解文章内部逻辑关系。

一般考查段落内部-句子之间的逻辑关系，有时也会考查段落之间的逻辑关系。

2、考查是否知道段落间重要的指示词和连词的作用。

只有了解起着文章衔接作用的连词的用法，才能紧随文章逻辑。

托福阅读插入题解题思路实操演练

例：

Look at the four squares ■that indicate where the following sentence could be added to the passage.

In either case, the heated water will usually be under considerable pressure, and so may have a temperature that is well above its sea-level boiling point of 100 centigrade.

Earth's internal heat, fueled by radioactivity, provides the energy for plate tectonics and continental drift, mountain building, and earthquakes. It can also be harnessed to drive electric generators and heat homes. Geothermal energy becomes available in a practical form when underground heat is transferred by water that is heated as it passes through a subsurface region of hot rocks (a heat reservoir) that may be hundreds or thousands of feet deep. ■【A】The water is usually naturally occurring groundwater that seeps down along fractures in the rock; less typically, the water is artificially introduced by being pumped down from the surface. ■【B】The water is brought to the surface, as a liquid or steam, through holes drilled for the purpose.■【C】?By far the most abundant form of geothermal energy occurs at the relatively low temperatures of 80° to 180° centigrade. ■【D】Water circulated through heat reservoirs in this temperature range is able to extract enough heat to warm residential, commercial, and industrial spaces.More than 20,000 apartments in France are now heated by warm underground water drawn from a heat reservoir in a geologic structure near Paris called the Paris Basin. Iceland sits on a volcanic structure known as the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. Reykjavik, the capital of Iceland, is entirely heated by geothermal energy derived from volcanic heat.

做句子插入题主要依赖的是语言线索，所以

第 一步：仔细阅读待插入的句子，弄清含义，找出其中包含的衔接手段，预测可能存在的语境。也就是：In either case, the heated water will usually be under considerable pressure, and so may have a temperature that is well above its sea-level boiling point of 100 centigrade.

句子中出现“either case”, either表示两者中“或者，任一”，意味着原文必提及两种“case”;

第二步：读原文，找线索

■ The water is usually occurring groundwater that seeps down along fractures in the rock; less typically, the water is artificially introduced by being pumped down from the surface. ■ The water is brought to the surface, as a liquid or steam, through holes drilled for the purpose.■ By far the most abundant form of geothermal energy occurs at the relative low temperature of 80 to 180℃entigrade.■

我们发现原文首句提及“The water is usually occurring groundwater that seeps down along fractures in the rock;”一种情况外，还提到了“less typically, the water is artificially introduced by being pumped down from the surface”这种情况，满足了“两种case”的猜测。

于是，我们把待插入句放到第二个小黑框前，检查一遍，逻辑通顺。

这道题中我们的解题突破口是一个叫“either”的词，除它以外，还有哪些词可能有逻辑衔接担当呢?

常见衔接手段：

1.语法衔接手段

语法衔接手段主要指代词，包括指示代词和人称代词。

指示代词：this, these, it, such, another, that, these, those

b. 人称代词：he, she, one, they, his, her, one’s, their

c. 定冠词：the

d. such, either, same等

说明插入句的内容上文有提到。

2. 逻辑衔接手段：

a. 因果: because, therefore, thus, consequently, so, as a result

b. 对比: however, on the contrary, nevertheless, unlike, in contrast, while, although, but

c. 递进: furthermore, also, as well, too, other, in addition, moreover, besides, even, additionally
