今天就来分享一下如何快速解托福阅读句子简化题，特别是那些包含比较关系的句子。

　　托福IBT阅读句子简化题解题方法常见误区实例分析

　　比较关系

　　先简单回顾一下ETS对于句子简化题的出题要求，简单来说秒杀关键点就在于找到原文考查句子和选项各自的关键信息，再进行比对。

　　再来说说比较关系，托福中常见的表示比较的提示词有like, unlike, differ, similar, compare…to..., instead, contrary to... .不像小明，我喜欢吃水果，毫无疑问，这句话重点是“我喜欢吃水果”。 所以不管是like A, B; unlike A, B又或者contrary to A, B的结构中重点都在B (如果想不明白的福娃儿可以自行用中文造一个句子，找到重点)。所以如果出现任何主要描述小明的选项，那个选项一定是错误的，因为句子的重点在“我”而不是“小明”。

　　看个例子：Perhaps, like many contemporary peoples, Upper Paleolithic men and women believed that the drawing of a human image could cause death of injury, and if that were indeed their belief, it might explain why human figures are rarely depicted in cave art.句子挺长，但是重点在后面：Upper Paleolithic men and women believed that the drawing of a human image could cause death of injury, and if that were indeed their belief, it might explain why human figures are rarely depicted in cave art. 主要描述的对象是旧石器时代的人(Upper Paleolithic men and women)。所以选项B Many contemporary people believe that the drawing of a human image can cause death or injury, so they, like Upper Paleolithic people, rarely depicted human figures in their cave art 中的重点描述对象是contemporary people，可以快速排除. 选项D Although many contemporary peoples believe that the drawing of a human image can cause death or injury, researchers cannot explain why Upper Paleolithic people rarely depicted human figures in their cave art 中的重点描述对象是researchers， 可以快速排除。

　　另外主要信息中包含and 引导的并列关系(想起口诀A and B的结构中 A和B都重要)和 if 引导的条件关系，所以选项A Upper Paleolithic people, like many contemporary peoples, believed that if they drew a human image in their cave art, it would cause death or injury中只提及了并列结构的前半部分，可以快速排除。

　　整个过程不需要1分钟，可以百分百确定，答案就是选项C If Upper Paleolithic people, like many contemporary peoples, believed that the drawing of a human image could cause death or injury, this belief might explain why human figures are rarely depicted in cave art了。

　　托福阅读一常见问题：读题不明

　　托福阅读在做题时最好先读题，再做题，这样能够做到有针对性的去搜索答案。如果在读题目时稀里糊涂，都还不太清楚究竟想问什么，那又怎么能够确定究竟要回答什么。

　　例In paragragh1, what point does the author make about the evidence for the tiredness theory of yawning?

　　我们的关注点如果在打哈欠的疲劳理论上，即使在文章中搜索到了相关信息，对于解题也是无效。这个问题中的”what point does the author make”才是我们应该思考的问题-——作者对此理论的观点。

　　文章中有一处“Unfortunately, the few scientific investigations of yawning have failed to find any connection between how often someone yawns and how much sleep they have had or how tired they are.”

　　这里表达了作者对于上文的质疑，因此才是我们要找的有效信息。

　　再比如：According to paragraph 2, what is problematic about an animal's sending visual signals to members of its own species?

　　这里讲到了动物发射视觉信号给同伴，但题目要求中的“problematic”才是这道题的核心，我们应该在文章当中找到于此对应的信息，这样你的读题才能为解题正却导 航。因此希望同学们要注意题目要求，在平时熟悉题目的一些问法，不要因为误读题目，造成不必要的损失。
