托福阅读逻辑推理的重点
从近期考试来看，托福阅读的推理题的比重在加大，相应的压缩原先的细节题，排除题，也就是阅读考试越来越要求考生具备逻辑推理能力，能够依据原文做出类似或者相对的推测，比如以下例子：
原文：
When it comes to physiology, the leatherback turtle is, in some ways, more like a reptilian whale than a turtle. It swims farther into the cold of the northern and southern oceans than any other sea turtle, and it deals with the chilly waters in a way unique among reptiles.
题目：
What can be inferred about whales from paragraph 1?
A .They are considered by some to be reptiles.
B. Their bodies are built in a way that helps them manage extremely cold temperatures.
C .They are distantly related to leatherback turtles.
D .They can swim farther than leatherback turtles.
在文章中，直接提示了leatherback turtle is like reptilian whale，则问题问whale的特征，我们看leatherback turtle的特征即可，文章中第二句话，可以发现，leatherback turtle的特征一：比other turtle游得远，特征二：能够适应冰冷的水环境。则，相应whale也有该两大特征，正确答案为B，对应特征二。
在本题中，有同学难以排除其他选项，重点就在于没有分清楚，合理推理与无中生有之间的关系。所谓合理推理，就是基于原文的推理，原文中说两者类似，且有相同的经过描述的特征。而无中生有，就是没有根基的选项，例如答案C，说whale是leatherback turtle的远亲，在原文中没有讨论过两个物种间的亲缘关系，是没有根基的结论，自然属于无中生有。
与之类似，我们看看对比推理的情况：
原文：
However, unlike the cases of sea otters and pinnipeds (seals, sea lions, and walruses, whose limbs are functional both on land and at sea), it is not easy to envision what the first whales looked like.
题目：
Which of the following can be inferred from paragraph 1 about early sea otters?
A It is not difficult to imagine what they looked like.
B There were GREat numbers of them.
C They lived in the sea only.
D They did not leave many fossil remains
显然，sea otters 是unlike whale，他们构成了对比关系，既然whale是难于想象其模样，则自然，很容易去想象sea otters的模样了，正确答案是A，其他答案都是属于无中生有的选项。
