    托福閱讀指代類問題
    在托福閱讀中,經常會遇到指代類問題。
    這類問題跟考察詞匯意思的問題相似。
    通常形式為:The word X in the passage refers to,X為代詞,在文中用陰影標出。題目中的四個選項多出自原文,但只有一個詞是X所指帶的詞。
    我們先來看一個例子:
    The astrological nature of the Mayan use of astronomical data explains in part why so few written records exist of that data. The Mayans believed that the passage of the sun continued throughout the night, only, then, it was traveling through the underworld. This was believed to be a perilous journey, with many demonic figures lurking in the darkness, waiting to ambush the sun to prevent it from returning to the sky at dawn. .
    Question: The word it in the passage refers to
    A. night
    B. sun
    C. passage
    D. data
    正確答案為B。
    從上一句可以看出,這句話描述的是太陽的運動軌跡,其它選項都不正確。
    Strategies to answer this question:
    1. 讀問題,確定指代詞類型;
    2. 將指代詞定位到原文中,閱讀上下文,確定答案。通常答案會在指代詞前面出現(xiàn);
    3. 將答案放到原文中,檢查上下文是否通順合理。
    這類問題其實并不是很難,大家只要仔細認真,就可以得分。
