托福閱讀中的難點(diǎn)題型有很多，比如句子簡(jiǎn)化題很多同學(xué)就做不好。那么面對(duì)這種題型大家應(yīng)該用怎樣的解題思路去應(yīng)對(duì)呢?

　　托福閱讀的句子簡(jiǎn)化題要求考生快速地把文章段落中打上陰影的一個(gè)長(zhǎng)難句簡(jiǎn)化成一個(gè)意思不變的同義句。解答句子簡(jiǎn)化題其實(shí)有一個(gè)規(guī)律，那就是原句的核心信息在正確選項(xiàng)中一定被同義改寫(xiě)了，但是句子中的重要的邏輯關(guān)系是不會(huì)變的。知道這個(gè)規(guī)律解開(kāi)這道題就變得簡(jiǎn)單了。

　　下面我們來(lái)看官方真題Official3Desertification這篇文章的句子簡(jiǎn)化題：

　　The extreme seriousness of desertification results from the vast areas of land and the tremendousnumbers of people affected, as well as from thegreat difficulty of reversing or even slowing the process.

　　A Desertification is a significant problem because it is so hard to reverse and affects largeareas of land and great numbers of people.

　　B Slowing down the process of desertification is difficult because of population growth that has spread overlarge areas of land.

　　C The spread of deserts is considered a very seriousproblem that can be solved only if large numbers of people in various countriesare involved in the effort.

　　很多托?？忌谧鼍渥雍?jiǎn)化題時(shí)，習(xí)慣性地把待簡(jiǎn)化的句子翻譯成中文，那樣做其實(shí)不僅慢，而且很容易亂。

　　正確的做法是：

　　1.找出句子的主謂賓，也就是誰(shuí)做了什么，然后關(guān)注句子的邏輯關(guān)系。例題的主語(yǔ)是：seriousness of desertification，邏輯關(guān)系詞是表示原因的：result from，所以我們可以優(yōu)先看有表示原因的選項(xiàng)，他們中若有正確答案，那么剩下的選項(xiàng)就無(wú)需過(guò)問(wèn)了。這樣做不僅快而且效率高。我們不難發(fā)現(xiàn)：A選項(xiàng)中有because;B選項(xiàng)中有because of;所以我們先看這兩個(gè)選項(xiàng)。

　　2.我們還發(fā)現(xiàn)原因用as well as相連，說(shuō)明是兩個(gè)原因，一個(gè)是影響land和people，一個(gè)是reverse和slowthe process很難。A選項(xiàng)正確表達(dá)了句意，而B(niǎo)選項(xiàng)把原文中并列的兩個(gè)原因變成了因果關(guān)系很明顯是錯(cuò)的。
