# 推論題要怎麼做? # 顧問示範大家好，我是SK2 衝刺班的顧問Chris 這幾天開工了，大家有開始練題目了嗎？最近Chris經常被同學問到推論題還是不太會做，該怎麼辦？以下Chris挑一題來跟大家示範： By 1860, the settlement of the American West along with timber shortages in th e East converged with ever-widening impact on the pine forests of the Great La kes states. Over the next 30 years, lumbering became a full-fledged enterprise in Michigan, Wisconsin, and Minnesota. Newly formed lumbering corporations bo ught up huge tracts of pineland and set about systematically cutting the trees . Both the colonists and the later industrialists saw timber as a commodity, b ut the latter group adopted a far more thorough and calculating approach to re moving trees. In this sense, what happened between 1860 and 1890 represented a significant break with the past. No longer were farmers in search of extra in come the main source for shingles, firewood, and other wood products. By the 1 870s, farmers and city dwellers alike purchased forest products from large man ufacturing companies located in the Great Lakes states rather than chopping wo od themselves or buying it locally. What can be inferred from paragraph 2 about timber in America before the year 1860 ? A.Farmers of the American West earned most of their income by selling timber t o newly arrived settlers. B.Timber came primarily from farmers who wished to supplement their income. C.Timber was much more expensive before the year 1860 because it was less read ily available. D.Timber came primarily from large manufacturing companies in the East. 這道題目，大家先想想看，你會選誰呢? . . . 以下Chris來按照以下步驟示範我會怎麼做喔！ Step 1：先看題目的主題題目問的是 Before the year 1860 的狀況 Step 2：Skim整個段落的意思因為這種題目比較難用一句話作答，所以要學會把段落簡化，找到最主要的Main: 以下是我閱讀的軌跡，我會這樣讀： 1860: The settlement converged with pine forests. Over the next 30 years, lumb ering became a full-fledged enterprise,and newly formed lumbering corporations cut the trees. Therefore, industrialists adopted approaches to removing trees . (心中自己加入轉折連接詞) 1860-1960: Farmers were no longer (重要態度‼ ) the main source for wood prod ucts in search of extra income. 1870:Farmers purchased forest products from large manufacturing companies rath er than chopping wood themselves. 總結(整句話用一個概念表達)：因企業砍柴，農夫不再為了提供木柴去賺錢了。 Step 3：有想法之後，看答案選項 1860年前...... A. 美國西部的農夫主要透過向新來的移民賣木材來賺取收入。（没有談到 Farmers earn ed most of their income，也沒談到新來的移民） B. 木材主要來自希望增加收入的農夫。 C. 木材在1860年之前價格較高，因為供應較少。（這個段落沒有討論木材的價錢。） D. 木材主要來自東部的大型製造公司。（第一句話就說了 Timber shortages in the Ea st，所以不可能是美国東部生產木材。）因此，這題答案選B！大家有發現嗎，這裡的關鍵就是在，你要去「了解整個段落最主要的意思」，也就是文章段落中最主要的核心訊息(Main)是什麼。了解Main之後，你就會知道托福的錯誤的選項往往都會用細節去騙你，下次就不會選到過度推論的選項囉！希望今天的分享有幫助大家～大家加油：） Chris, Until then . . . ＊＊＊想聽聽專業的SK2顧問群所設計，一套最有系統的托福課嗎？歡迎你加入將要開課的衝刺班，快速填報名表單即可申請，我們有絕對的信心能幫助你破百！ https://forms.gle/YL9HcTfGJH84uEkE8 選擇SK2 TOEFL衝刺班，1-2個月破百！ https://youtu.be/bR5uBvMBJBg
