托福阅读题目如何解答更高效？
 
Paragraph 5: In this newly emerging economic order. workers sometimes organized to protect their rights and traditional ways of life. Craft workers such as carpenters， printers， and tailors formed unions， and in 1834 individual unions came together the National Trades Union. The labo movement gathered some momentum in the decade before the Panic of 1837. but in the depression that followed， labors strength collapsed During hard times， few workers were willing to strike or engage in collective action And skilled craft workers. who spearheaded the union movement， did not feel a particularly strong bond with semiskilled factory workers and unskilled laborers. More than a decade of agitation did finally bring a workday shortened to 10 hours to most industries by the 1850s， and the courts also recognized workers' right to strike， but these gains had little immediate Impa.

解析：针对这道题，考生首先要做的是选定题干千关键词，回原文定位答案范围这里考生可以同时结合“细”和“巧”这两点来帮助定位。考生可以“巧”选题干中的数字1800s作为定位关键词；由于1800s是一个笼统的时间范围，是指19世纪，因此考生在定位答案范围时应注意“细”的原则，要关注原文第五段所有在19世纪范围内的表示时间的词。原文第五段出现了三个在19世纪范围内的时间点1834、1837和1850s。因此，题目的答案范围就包含在含有这些词的句子中。
 
到此，考生可以开始第二步了，即硏究答案范围中的句子和题目选项，选出正确答案。通读含有上述三个时间词的三个句子考生可以发现，后面两个句子都包含转折关系词but。根据上面讲述的“巧”的原，考生要特别关注这两个含有转折词的句子，答案往往就是对转折词后面内容的同义替换。考生会注意到，最后一个but后面的句子是“ these gains had little immediate impact”，表明“工人运动所取得的成果十分有限”。根据“直”的原则考生会发现，选项C中的句子正是对这句话的同义替换，因而此题的正确笞案是选项C。
