备考宝典：攻克托福阅读推断题

推断题好象是托福阅读里面比较容易的一种题目。搞定推断题的要点其实只有一个，那就是理清作者的逻辑。

在看懂每句话句义的基础上(这一部分工作的精髓karahana版主在上次的句子简化题专题里面已经说过了)，还需要的是明白前后句之间的关系，了解他们在作者的论证或者叙述中所起的作用，在此之后，阅读选项，直接选出正确选项，或者排除所有错误选项得到正确选项就好。

干说起来也没有什么感觉，咱们来看几个例子。

【例1】Paragraph 1: Groundwater is the word used to describe water thatsaturates the ground, filling all the available spaces. By far the mostabundant type of groundwater is meteoric water; this is the groundwater thatcirculates as part of the water cycle. Ordinary meteoric water is water thathas soaked into the ground from the surface, from precipitation (rain and snow)and from lakes and streams. There it remains, sometimes for long periods,before emerging at the surface again. At first thought it seems incredible thatthere can be enough space in the ―solid‖ ground underfoot tohold all this water.

1. Which of the following can be inferredfrom paragraph 1 about the ground that we walk on?

○It cannot hold rainwater for long periodsof time.

○It prevents most groundwater fromcirculating.

○It has the capacity to store large amountsof water.

○It absorbs most of the water it containsfrom rivers.

这个题目其实只需要关注段落中的最后一句就可以了，因为这是唯一一句据提到了“我们脚下的土地”的，句中说，‘乍一想起来，我们脚下结实的土地居然能有空间容纳这么多的水，这似乎有点不可思议。’这句中透露的一个事实就是，我们脚下的土地就是能容纳这么多水，于是C选项正确。

【例2】Paragraph 1: The transition from forest to treeless tundra on amountain slope is often a dramatic one. Within a vertical distance of just afew tens of meters, trees disappear as a life-form and are replaced by lowshrubs, herbs, and grasses. This rapid zone of transition is called the uppertimberline or tree line. In many semiarid areas there is also a lowertimberline where the forest passes into steppe or desert at its lower edge,usually because of a lack of moisture.

3. Which of the following canbe inferred from paragraph 1 about both the upper and lower timberlines?

○Both are treeless zones.

○Both mark forest boundaries.

○Both are surrounded by desertareas.

○Both suffer from a lack of moisture.

段落中已经说明，upper timberline是树林的上端与草地、灌木丛的分界线，而lower timberline是树林下端与草原或是沙漠的分界线，于是upper and lower timberlines的共同点就是，他们都是树林与其他地区的分界线，也就是树林的边界，B选项正确。
