托福閱讀排除有三個(gè)考察方向：1 對(duì)最基本的細(xì)節(jié)信息理解的考察。2 對(duì)事件發(fā)展程序理解的考察。3 對(duì)文章或段落主題抓取能力的考察。下面，天道留學(xué)就為您透析托福閱讀排除題。

　　一、對(duì)最基本的細(xì)節(jié)信息理解的考察

　　這里可以用更簡(jiǎn)單的說法：從詞中選。 所謂從詞中選，就是可以在文章中找到幾個(gè)名詞，他們排列存在，共同構(gòu)成某一事件的所有細(xì)節(jié)。這時(shí)候，出題者會(huì)提取出其中三個(gè)，并在文章別處或者自編一個(gè)跟本事件并無關(guān)系的名詞(詞組)。

　　請(qǐng)看下面的例子：

　　In1943, the federal government imposed rent controls to help solve the problem ofhousing shortages during wartime. The federal program ended after the war, butin some locations, including NY, controls continued. Under NY’s controls, alandlord generally cannot raise rents on apartments as long as the tenantscontinue to renew their leases. In places as Santa Monica, California, rentcontrols are more recent. They were spurred by inflation of the 1970’s, whichcombined with California’s rapid population growth, pushed housing prices, aswell as rents, to record levels.

　　Which of the following was NOT a reason forthe introduction of rent controls in Santa Monica, California?

　　A. Rapid population growth

　　B. Inflation

　　C. Economic conditions duringwartime

　　D. Record-high housing prices

　　在這道排除題中，由于四個(gè)選項(xiàng)提供的信息都是用名詞詞組，我們可以斷定，段落中一定存在其中三個(gè)詞組，而題干中又出現(xiàn)地名Santa Monica, California. 故可將此地名作為關(guān)鍵詞，鎖定答案所在句子，然后逐一排除。而……as Santa Monica, California, rent controlsare more recent. They were spurred by inflation of the 1970’s, which combinedwith California’s rapid population growth, pushed housing prices, ……. 這句話當(dāng)中分別提到了A, B, D三個(gè)答案，所以答案為C.
