在托福備考的過程中，很多考生覺得自己為閱讀能力不錯，但是實際考出來的分數只有22分左右。22分瓶頸難以突破的主要的原因，就是沒有找到精準的難點定位。本期通過句子插入題的解決方法，來分析一下考試中如何應對這類題型的解答。

1. 解題要點：

(1).掌握銜接詞是解答插入句子題的關鍵，對解答這類問題非常重要，因為它是理解上下文和這個句子的邏輯關系的核心。銜接詞主要包括代詞(指示代詞，例如this, these their, it, such,another，這些通常是上文提到過的，所以可以采用就近原則來做。);

(2). 關鍵同義詞

(3).重復出現的形容詞、副詞和名詞;

(4). 表示因果、轉折等關系的過渡詞語：如therefore, so, however, as a result, consequently, on the contrary, however 等;

(5). 遞進擴展詞：如furthermore, also, as well, too, in addition, moreover, besides, even, additionally等;

(6). 結構配對詞：如on the one hand…. on the other hand，some…others;

(7).表示順序的詞，如first, second , third等。

2. 例題分析：

【1But there is also another special kind of conversational flow among Southern women that contributed to their writing.【2Some of their talk took the form of tales and vignettes told for their own sake.【3Sometimes humorous, sometimes sad; all were as bright as the figures in the fine needle point.【4

Look at the four positions that indicate where the following sentences can be added to the paragraph of the passage

These tales included grotesque, comic, and poetic descriptions, character sketches,narratives, gusts of feeling, delicate ironies, and astute observations.

Click on a position to add the sentence to the passage.

A. Position 1

B. Position2

C. Position 3

D. Position 4

解題步驟：

(1). 理解要插入的句子：These tales included grotesque, comic, and poetic descriptions, character sketches, and narratives, gusts of feeling, delicate ironies, and astute observations. 我們看這個句子是主、謂、賓結構，其中賓語為一些列的并列名詞和短語。

(2). 尋找銜接詞：這個句子的銜接詞為：These tales

(3). 分析這個句子和上下文的關系：位置1不可能，因為它后面的句子是論點句，而要插入的句子為屬于論據;然后看位置2，這里出現了和我們要加入句子一樣的信息點“Some of their talk took the form of tales and vignettes told for their own sake.”，顯然句子放在位置2也不可以;位置3后面的句子是對其前面句子for their own sake的進一步解釋。所以最合適的只能是位置4;

(4). 把這個句帶入各個位置;

(5). 檢查每個位置，位置4是最恰當的;
