TYPE 4修饰目的题

Question：带有the author mentions, 作者提到某单词或某句话的目的是什么?那一部分会加深背景，标记上

这类题题分两种情况

First，提到的部分是例子，或者细节信息，通常有 For example， such as这些词，在上一个题型中，我提到了，如果有举例的话要往前读，找到它支持的观点。答案就是为了支持这个例子所支持的观点。

比如说：我对她很好。我每个月工资都给她。

问题：why does the author mentions 我每个月工资都给她?

答案：to support the idea that 我对她很好。

以上是正常的解题思路，下面请看

无耻技巧5：当原文中被标记的部分在such as或for example之后，带有 provide example of 的选项，基本是正确的

看具体的例子：

Paragraph 2: Sensitivity to physical laws is thus an important consideration for the maker of applied-art objects. It is often taken for granted that this is also true for the maker of fine-art objects. This assumption misses a significant difference between the two disciplines. Fine-art objects are not constrained by the laws of physics in the same way that applied-art objects are. Because their primary purpose is not functional, they are only limited in terms of the materials used to make them. Sculptures must, for example, be stable, which requires an understanding of the properties of mass, weight distribution, and stress. Paintings must have rigid stretchers so that the canvas will be taut, and the paint must not deteriorate, crack, or discolor. These are problems that must be overcome by the artist because they tend to intrude upon his or her conception of the work. For example, in the early Italian Renaissance, bronze statues of horses with a raised foreleg usually had a cannonball under that hoof. This was done because the cannonball was needed to support the weight of the leg. In other words, the demands of the laws of physics, not the sculptor's aesthetic intentions, placed the ball there. That this device was a necessary structural compromise is clear from the fact that the cannonball quickly disappeared when sculptors learned how to strengthen the internal structure of a statue with iron braces (iron being much stronger than bronze).

6. Why does the author discuss the bronze statues of horses created by artists in the early Italian Renaissance?

○To provide an example of a problem related to the laws of physics that a fine artist must overcome

○To argue that fine artists are unconcerned with the laws of physics

○To contrast the relative sophistication of modern artists in solving problems related to the laws of physics

○To note an exceptional piece of art constructed without the aid of technology

这类题不用找关键词了，直接给你了，也不用自己找定位句了，文章标记了。直接读定位句，For example, in the early Italian Renaissance, bronze statues of horses with a raised foreleg usually had a cannonball under that hoof

运用无耻技巧，直接选择A。

正常做题，for example 读前一句，these are problems that…………我之间讲过定从不用读，只读观点。观点就是这些是问题。所以选择A

Second，第二种类型，标记的部分本身就是观点，那么找同义转述即可，类似细节题。

Eg:Tools themselves can be revealing. Long-handed Neolithic spoons of yew wood preserved in Alpine villages dating to 3000 B.C. have survived; the signs of rubbing on their left side indicate that their users were right-handed. The late Ice Age rope found in the French cave of Lascaux consists of fibers spiraling to the right, and was therefore tressed by a righthander.

In paragraph 5, why does the author mention the Ice Age rope found in the French cave of Lascaux?

○ As an example of an item on which the marks of wear imply that it was used by a right-handed person

○ Because tressing is an activity that is easier for a right-handed person than for a left-handed person

○ Because the cave of Lascaux is the site where researchers have found several prehistoric tools made for right-handed people

○ As an example of an item whose construction shows that it was right handed made by a right-person

先找到那句话，The late Ice Age rope found in the French cave of Lascaux consists of fibers spiraling to the right, and was therefore tressed by a righthander.在L的法国洞穴发现的冰河晚期的绳索是由向右旋转的纤维组成的，因此它是有个右撇子编的。它本身是带有观点的，所以找这个观点的同义转述，直选D。

两种题型的解决方案我介绍完了，有的同学在实战中可能会遇到这样的问题，有一些不带for example 和such as这种明确表述举例的词或者句子，自己又不会判断它是支持信息还是观点，这样的问题比较少，遇到的话，先读自己那句，如果选项里面有同义转述，直接选。如果没有说明是支持信息，往前读。

Any rock that cooled and solidfied from a molten state is an igneous rock.Therefore, if the Earth bagan as a superheated sphere in space,all the rocks making up its crust may well have been igneous and thus the ancestors of all other rocks.Even today, approximately 95 percent of the entire crust is igneous.

Question: the author mentions that 95%of the entire crust is igneous to support the idea that

A the Earth began as a molten mass

B a thin layer of magma flows beneath the Earth’s crust.

C the minerals found in igneous rock are very commen

D igneous rock is continually being formed

首先看这句话，大约地壳的百分之九十五都是炙热的。其实很好判断它是支持信息，因为带有数字的一定是细节，数字的罗列是为了支持观点的。好，就算你不知道，按照上面的方法找一下吧，ABCD哪个选项也不是同义转述。所以就往前读，找它支持的观点，Therefore, if the Earth bagan as a superheated sphere in space,all the rocks making up its crust may well have been igneous and thus the ancestors of all other rocks. Superheated sphere炙热的球，看A选项，molten mass，就是这个观点的同义转述，直接选。
