北美大讲堂 | 托福听力推断题之同义替换

　　推断题是托福听力中比较难的一个题型，它需要我们基于文章中提到的细节信息加一步推理做出来，本身细节就是比较难的，还要加推理，就更难了。

　　那么，新航道南京托福培训班老师今天来讲一下比较常见也是比较简单的推理题做题方法，就是对细节信息同义改写。有人可能会觉得比较奇怪，推断题怎么还能同义改写呢?下面我们来看道题：

　　Professor:Actually I teach that class and drip painting was one of our themes last year. Some students from last year's class have continued experimenting with it and created some incredible pieces using everything from squeezed bottles to computer controlled sprayers.

　　Student:Do they look a lot like Pollock's work?

　　Professor:Well, our goal wasn't to imitate Jackson Pollock. The object was to get students to look at different ways of applying paint to a canvas. But you don't have to enroll in a specific course to be invited to exhibit your work. It just has to fit the theme for one of our exhibitions.

　　4. What does the professor imply about his class on abstract art?

　　A. It focuses primarily on Jackson Pollock.

　　B. It is one of the most popular classes in the department.

　　C. It tends to attract the department's best students.

　　D. It encourages students to explore different painting techniques.

　　这道题文章中讲的是他们的目标不是去模仿Jackson Pollock，而是要让学生尝试以不同的方式在帆布上画画。题目问的是关于抽象画课程我们能推断出什么?就是get students to look at different ways of applying paint to a canvas跟选项的 encourages students to explore different painting techniques做了同义替换。

　　再来：

　　这是一道重听的推断题，下面是重听的内容：

　　Generally our exhibitors are third- and fourth-year students, well into their coursework.

　　5. What does the professor imply when he says this:

　　A. Students must have taken a course in the technique featured in the exhibition.

　　B. Exhibiting in the university gallery is a degree requirement for art majors.

　　C. Artwork submitted by a first-year student will probably not be accepted.

　　D. The woman should submit her painting soon because the deadline is approaching.

　　这道题明显选的是C，这个同义替换是把肯定换成了否定，文章里面说我们的展览者都是三四年级的学生，那变成否定就是一二年级的不能参加展览，也就是说一二年级的作品是不被接受的。

　　看了托福培训班老师分享的这两道题是不是觉得推断题也没有这么难，大家平时在练习的时候不妨注意下推断题是不是可以用同意替换的方式来解答。
