4、uestions)一、 词汇类题目的问题的提问形式新托福词汇类题目的出题形式通常为：The word X in the passage is closest in meaning to用来考察考生某单词在文章上下文中意思的问题类型最为常见。二、 答题步骤第一步：在文章中定位到阴影标识的单词或短语。认识单词直接选。第二步：如为生词读原文，仔细阅读该词或短语所在句子。第三步：根据上下文含义推测含义。第四步：少量单词可由词根验证答案。选择答案时，不要仅仅因为某个选项符合该单词的某一个正确意思就将其作为正确选项，题目考察的是作者在文章上下文中使用了哪一个词义。三、 解题线索1. 论点对论据TS+DCo

12、 flight patterns of migratory birds in certain areas, and they have killed large birds of prey (especially hawks, falcons, and eagles) that prefer to hunt along the same ridge lines that are ideal for wind turbines. The killing of birds of prey by wind turbines has pitted environmentalists who champ

14、rating birds in certain areas building ridge lines that are ideal for wind turbines the killing of birds of prey by wind turbines meeting the demands of environmentalists who promote renewable wind energy 2 数格一致 被指代对象通常与指代词在数（如单数或复数）和格（主格或宾格）两方面相同。如单数代词one指代单数名词，复数代词they指代复数名词。 四、主要思路 1 主从复合句中的指代 在主

15、从复合句中，第二句的代词主语经常指代第一句的名词主语。例如， The fins are stiff, smooth, and narrow, qualities that also help cut drag. When not in use, the fins are tucked into special grooves or depressions so that they lie flush with the body and do not break up its smooth contours. The word they in the passage refers to 1）qu

16、alities 2）fins 3）grooves 4）depressions 如果主从复合句中一个句子（可以是主句，也可以是从句）使用被动语态，包含被动语态的句子中的主语常指代另一句中的宾语。例如， Similarly, a plant or animal cannot squander all its energy on growing a big body if none would be left over for reproduction, for this is the surest way to extinction. The word none in the passage re

17、fers to food plant or animal energy big body 2并列动词中的指代 如果一个句中有两个并列的动词，第二个动词的代词宾语经常指代前一个动词后的名词宾语。例如， Artists are recognizing the distinction between public and private spaces, and taking that into account when executing their public commissions. The word “that” in line 27 refers to (A) contemporary a

18、rt (B) opportunity (C) audience (D) distinction 3 平行结构中的指代 平行结构主要包括some/most/many/such/each, others; not onlybut also; the formerthe latter等。在这种结构中，平行结构两个部分的两个代词经常指代同一对象：前一句中的名词主语。例如， In Southwest France in the 1940s, playing children discovered Lascaux Grotto, a series of narrow cave chambers that

19、contain huge prehistoric paintings of animals. Many of these beasts are as large as 16 feet (almost 5 meters). Some follow each other in solemn parades, but others swirl about, sideways and upside down. The word others in the passage refers to chambers paintings beasts parades 4 所有格的指代 所有格代词经常指代其前面与

20、其最接近的名词。例如， Folk-made objects give way to their popular equivalent, usually because the popular item is more quickly or cheaply produced, is easier or time saving to use, or lends more prestige to the owner. The word “their” in line 1 refers to (A) folk (B) nations (C) countries (D) objects 5 指代的接力棒

21、现象 这一现象是指被考的代词对应前面一个相同的代词，而前面的代词指代更前一句中的名词。例如， While such interviews can be highly entertaining, they are not necessarily an accurate indication of public opinion. First, they reflect the opinions of only those people who appear at a certain location. The word “they” in line 8 refers to (A) North Am

22、ericans (B) news shows (C) interviews (D) opinions 除了上述情况之外，其他指代，如定语从句中(of which, in which, from which)的关系代词指代先行词，from there结构中的there指代前面最接近的地点名词等。 例题1： Passage： “These laws are universal in their application， regardless of cultural beliefs， geography， or climate.
