引導(dǎo)語(yǔ)：對(duì)于托福閱讀修辭題該如何備考呢?出國(guó)留學(xué)網(wǎng)托福閱讀欄目小編特此整理了托福閱讀修辭題攻略，希望能對(duì)大家的托福閱讀備考有所幫助!

　　修辭題是托福閱讀考試的常見題型，它主要有兩種考察形式，一是給出修辭手段問(wèn)目的，另一種則相反。

　　1、修辭目的題的兩種考察形式：

　　在閱讀考試中，這類題目有兩種不同的考察形式：一種是給出修辭手段問(wèn)目的，另一種是給出修辭目的問(wèn)手段。

　　其常見的題目形式如下：

　　The author uses X as an example of…

　　Why does the author mention X?

　　Why does the author compare … to …?

　　Why does the author use the word … in discussing…?

　　The author discusses X in paragraph X in order to…

　　The author uses X as an example of…

　　2、解題技巧

　　找出這些修辭方法所用的關(guān)鍵詞，例如定義中所用的同位語(yǔ);描述事物大小、形狀的形容詞和名詞;舉例用的詞，如，for instance，for example， in other words;用來(lái)解釋的詞語(yǔ)，如because， this is why， due to等。

　　我們來(lái)看一個(gè)例子：

　　One of the most puzzling aspects of the paintings is their location. Other rock paintings，for example, those of Bushmen in South Africa are either located near cave entrances or completely in the open. Cave paintings in France and Spain, however, are in recesses and caverns far removed from original cave entrances.

　　Why does the author mention Bushmen in South Africa in paragraph 2?

　　To suggest that ancient artists from all over the world painted animals on rocks

　　To contrast the location of their rock paintings to those found at Lascaux

　　To support the claim that early artists worked in cramped spaces

　　To give an example of other artists who painted in hidden locations

　　首先分析問(wèn)題題目，找出其中的關(guān)鍵詞：Bushmen in South Africa。之后回到原文看其前后的句子，找到原文的關(guān)鍵詞for example，通過(guò)分析知道，這一例子的目的是為了說(shuō)明它前面的那句話，即這些繪畫的位置令人費(fèi)解。作者以對(duì)比的手法來(lái)說(shuō)明這一點(diǎn)：Bushmen in South Africa的繪畫常位于洞口或洞外，而法國(guó)和西班牙的洞穴繪畫(本文所說(shuō)的繪畫)卻位于遠(yuǎn)離最初洞口的深處。由此可見，Bushmen in South Africa的例子是為了說(shuō)明Lascaux繪畫位置的怪異。第二個(gè)選項(xiàng)符合此意，為正確答案。

　　找出修辭方法所用的關(guān)鍵詞也就進(jìn)行了定位，之后分析關(guān)鍵詞所在的句子，結(jié)合句子上下情景即可找到正確答案。這類托福閱讀題型解答并不很難，所以大家只要認(rèn)真練習(xí)和總結(jié)，還是可以拿到分?jǐn)?shù)。
