在中逻辑关系有多重要?很多同学在中常常会发现有些句子远超出了自己的理解能力,也就是我们常说的长难句,这个时候就要轮到逻辑关系登场了。其实有些句子根本就不用我们读懂,通过逻辑关系就可以排除选项,从而选出正确答案。怎么样,厉害吧?
逻辑在中究竟有多大作用呢,各位先随我来看一个句子。
As for the left-eyed and right-eyed flatfish, their difference, however striking, appears to be an evolutionary red herring.
恐怕我们中的大多数宝宝对于red herring的释义是陌生的吧,但是别急啊看官,请多多留意however这样的逻辑关系词,它表明前后内容是相反的,所以我们从striking显著的,激烈的就不难推出red herring表示不重要的。所以整句话的理解就很顺畅了:至于左眼平鱼和右眼平鱼,它们的差异尽管让人很吃惊,但表现出来的只是进化论中不重要的小事物。
逻辑关系的魅力不小吧,能帮我们扫除阅读障碍哦,那我们一鼓作气,请大家跟着我一起来看看里的逻辑。

我们先来看一道细节题:
According to paragraph 3, what did the teachers working with Wildman and Niles often fail to do when they attempted to practice reflection?
A. Correctly calculate the amount of time needed for reflection.
B. Provide sufficiently detailed descriptions of the methods they used to help them reflect.
C. Examine thoughtfully the possible causes of events in their classrooms.
D. Establish realistic goals for themselves in practicing reflection.
Paragraph 3: Wildman and Niles observed that systematic reflection on teaching required a sound ability to understand classroom events in an objective manner. They describe the initial understanding in the teachers with whom they were working as being “utilitarian … and not rich or detailed enough to drive systematic reflection.” Teachers rarely have the time or opportunities to view their own or the teaching of others in an objective manner. Further observation revealed the tendency of teachers to evaluate events rather than review the contributory factors in a considered manner by, in effect, standing outside the situation.
解析:题目问当老师试图反思时,老师失败做什么,我们筛选信息在最后两句,结合选项发现倒数第二句话不能解题,那就只能看最后一句话了,对逻辑关系敏感的筒子们一眼就能锁定其中的rather than这个表转折的逻辑,正对对应着题干里的fail to,然后同义转换得出C选项。
有些学生说老师你这是运气好吧,我做题咋没发现呢,那是因为你没走心,我们说好手牵逻辑,跟托福阅读分手的,跟着哥再来看道句子简化题。
Which of the sentences below best expresses the essential information in the highlighted sentence in the passage? Incorrect answer choices change the meaning in important ways or leave out essential information.
A. People who believe that they are fighting a just war act aggressively while those who believe that they are fighting an unjust war do not.
B. People who believe that aggression is necessary and justified are more likely to act aggressively than those who believe differently.
C. People who normally do not believe that aggression is necessary and justified may act aggressively during wartime.
D. People who believe that aggression is necessary and justified do not necessarily act aggressively during wartime.
The Cognitive Approach. Cognitive psychologists assert that our behavior is influenced by our values, by the ways in which we interpret our situations and by choice. For example, people who believe that aggression is necessary and justified-as during wartime-are likely to act aggressively, whereas people who believe that a particular war or act of aggression is unjust, or who think that aggression is never justified, are less likely to behave aggressively.
解析:拿到句子简化题,我们分析主干和逻辑,原句有个很明显的逻辑关系词whereas,然后有些宝宝看到B选项里的while特别鸡冻,还拍着胸脯说,老师我肯定选对了,不是你刚才讲的whereas等于while的嘛。但是朋友,你是不是还得看句子主干啊,来,擦擦眼睛,去修饰之后,这个句子的框架已经由两种人在对比侵略性变成了两种人在比较侵略性之大小了。所以要选择有比较逻辑的选项,只有B选项有哦。

我在这里就不吐槽迷之自信的宝宝们了,所以我们做托福阅读题要注意句子的隐性逻辑。比如下面这道题:
Which of the sentences below best expresses the essential information in the highlighted sentence in the passage? Incorrect choices change the meaning in important ways or leave out essential information.
A. Fuller was more interested in dance’s visual impact than in its narrative or emotional possibilities.
B. Fuller used visual effects to dramatize the stories and emotions expressed in her work.
C. Fuller believed that the drama of her dancing sprang from her emotional style of storytelling.
D. Fuller’s focus on the visual effects of dance resulted from her early theatrical training as an actress.
Paragraph 2: Fuller devised a type of dance that focused on the shifting play of lights and colors on the voluminous skirts or draperies she wore, which she kept in constant motion principally through movements of her arms, sometimes extended with wands concealed under her costumes. She rejected the technical of movement in ballet, the most prestigious form of theatrical dance at that time, perhaps because her formal dance training was minimal. Although her early theatrical career had included stints as an actress, she was not primarily interested in storytelling or expressing emotions through dance; the drama of her dancing emanated from her visual effects.
解析:我们一如既往先找原句的主句,发现应该是后半句,注意not和primarily以及后面的分号,很明显这里隐藏了比较的逻辑关系,相当于原句主句有比较,选项也得体现这样的比较关系啊,基本锁定A了,再看看比较对象与比较结果,天作之合呀。
不难看出,逻辑关系贯穿整个考试,筒子们赶紧放下手机,攻下逻辑这座城,与托福欢快地说分手吧。下面给大家大致整理了一些常考的逻辑关系词。
转折:but, though, although, however, even, yet, even though, despite, inspite of, in fact, regardless of, nevertheless, rather than
