In the past,whole cities grew from the arduoustask of cutting and piling stone upon. Some of the world’s finest stonearchitecture can be seen in the ruins of the ancient Inca city of Machu Picchu high in the eastern Andes
Mountains
of Peru.猜词是保证不了完全准了,根据意思,这道题排除BD,剩下AC很是纠结,但是看task本身,skilled task这种说法小奇怪,一般是skilled workers,所以选A
The word “arduous” in the passage is closest inmeaning to
○Difficult○Necessary○Skilled○Shared
句子改写题类似G的逻辑,看好逻辑主语和逻辑关系,最类似的最对(改写后主语不变的概率较高) In order for thestructure to achieve the size and strength necessary to meet its purpose,architecture employs methods of support that, because they are based onphysical laws, have changed little since people first discovered them-evenwhile building materials have changed dramatically.
主要说method,逻辑是因果关系,because physical laws 结果是 change little
改写后○Unlikebuilding materials, the methods of support used in architecture have notchanged over time because they are based on physical laws.
最新TPO的改写题难度都加大了,逻辑关系可能几个选项都对,只不过有细节的错误,比如原文A变成B,选项写B变成A,或者原文是A of B 是逻辑主语,选项是B of A是逻辑主语等等,更要求理解着去做题了 Sincethe laws of physics, not some arbitrary decision, have determined the generalform of applied-art objects,
they
follow basic patterns, so much so that functionalforms can vary only within certain limits. 主语是applied-art objects,因果关系,因为law determined,所以(they前面省略so)follow什么can vary什么。 改写后○Functional applied-art objects cannot vary much from the basic patternsdetermined by the laws of physics.
错误选项包括了因果关系颠倒,主语有误,因果关系说一部分缺失一部分等。比如○The function of applied-art objects isdetermined by basic patterns in the laws of physics.
或者是几个选项都不完美,最后剩两个觉得都不对,那就只能把忽略非关键内容的留着,把非重点逻辑关系当成重要关键逻辑关系来说的选项排除。
细节题(evidence,reason,except,which is true)等(1‘ * 3)耗时3分钟
T的题比较直接,没太多绕弯的,定位以后看前后两句即可。不过T的段落比较短,很多时候前后两句就是整段了呵呵。
except最烦,看一眼选项如果出不来就只能再读一次
which is true题可能会绕弯,延伸了很多的选项要谨慎,很多时候可能是两句话的fact加在一起才能判断。
黑点题——插句子题(1‘30)耗时1分半
看主语、宾语,如果上下句有类似的主语宾语,只不过定语变多了、或者少了,那就根据这一段的逻辑判断。 定位的关键因素并不是把选项里的关键字带到文章中去找,比如during this period,sth。。如果找时间定位,四个选项附近可能都是时间。应该定位逻辑,是这段时间,sth如何了。那发现前面说他们在某段时间了里真的很快,后面插入这句表示具体有多快的句子就刚好。
如果top down越来越细的话,那定语多的在后面。“the stencils of hand” 和 “when the left hand has been stenciled” 判断后面的比前面的具体,他们的关系应该就是现在这种前后。
类似于G的逻辑题,一定要推出题干结论的才对。
错误选项可能包括:中间结论而不是最终结论,前面看起来很对但推论so之后的内容是细节或者论据而非主要论点,opinion推出的结论而不是fact推出的结论,文中没有提到的结论(这个对不读全文的人来说是个障碍)比如people use right hand是结论,那错误选项的结论可能是 the right hand was stronger这就是中间结论就错了。
