托福阅读句子插入题如何解答?4种解题思维让你一招致胜

三、巧取逻辑关系词进行判断

逻辑关系词是句间关系的最直接体现，逻辑词的出现一般意味着前一句话已经提到了相关的背景信息，本句将前一句的背景信息进一步展开，使内容更加全面充实。所以很多时候利用插入句中的逻辑关系词即可直接判断插入句的位置应该为相关的背景信息之后。句子插入题中常出现的逻辑关系包括因果，让步转折，对比，强调，并列，例证，总分关系等。

因果关系：because,consequently,therefore,thus,so

让步-转折关系：however,but,while,although,even,despite,for all

对比关系：contrary to,by contrast,like,unlike

强调关系：indeed,in fact

并列关系：also,additional,in addition,another,other

例证关系：for example,such as,for instance,some,many

总分关系：in conclusion,above all,for one thing

Transportation was becoming less of a problem of those who wished to move west and for those who wished to move west and for those who had far surpluses to send to market. ■【A】Prior to 1815, western farmers who did not live on navigable waterways were connected to them only by dirt roads and mountain trails. ■【B】Livestock could be driven across the mountains, but the cost of transporting bulky grains in this fashion was several times greater than their value in eastern markets. ■【C】The first step toward an improvement of western transportation was the construction of turnpikes. ■【D】These roads made possible a reduction in transportation costs and thus agriculture along their routes.

Look at the four squares [■] that indicate where the following sentence could be added to the passage. Where would the sentence best fit?

In fact，goods could be shipped more cheaply across the much greater distance of the Atlantic Ocean than they could from western New York to coastal cities.

解析：插入句中提到了商品运输价格的问题，同时句中的in fact表示对相关背景信息的强调，more cheaply……than表示对已有信息的比较，这些都说明前一句已经提到了有关运输价格的问题，本句通过对比关系强调出goods可以有更便宜的运输方式，所以答案应该为C选项。

四、巧用排除法排除不可插足的选项

由于插入题通常都设置在每篇文章的倒数第二题，出题位置的独特性也提示了我们插入句本身不承担文章中过于重要的功能，即使插入句缺失，空格前后的内容本身也可以衔接得上，亦或是互不干扰。若是把插入句还原到正确的位置上，那么相关信息就能阐述得更加详细具体，句间关系也会更加紧密。但是如果将插入句放置在错误的空格处，就会干扰空格前后句已有信息的衔接关系，造成信息错乱。因此，在这个基础上，我们可以利用排除法来帮助解题，逐一排除空格前后句关系密切又不可切分的选项，剩余的一项即为正确选项。

Second, primary groups are fundamental because they provide the settings in which we meet most of our personal needs. ■【A】Within them, we experience companionship, love, security, and an overall sense of well-being. ■【B】Not surprisingly, sociologists find that the strength of a group's primary ties has implications for the group's functioning. ■【C】For example, the stronger the primary group ties of a sports team playing together, the better their record is. ■【D】

Look at the four squares [■] that indicate where the following sentence could be added to the passage. Where would the sentence best fit?

People who do not live alone, for example, tend to make healthier life choices and develop fewer pathologies than people who live by themselves.

解析：插入句中使用了for example这一举例的信号词，说明其前一句应该提到过与例子内容相符的观点句。而C选项和D选项之间也是一个由For example展开的举例，两个for example的句子不能连续出现，否则任何一句都会缺失观点句，所以可以直接排除C和D。又因为A选项前后本身存在Within them这一指代关系，them指代前一句的主语primary groups，而插入句中却并未提及，所以A选项前后关系密切不可被无关信息切分，排除A。因此B选项为正确选项.

一言以蔽之，做插入题时一定要先密切关注插入句中的提示信息，找到其中重要的线索词后再回原文观察选项，根据插入句的提示内容采用适当的方法。这些方法既可以单独使用，也可以灵活搭配。只要合理运用好以上四种巧思，插入题也能变成送分题，同时还可以提高解题效率，为文章最后一道的多选题留出更充足的时间。
