托福阅读句子插入题怎么做？技巧三：原文联系排除法——可能会有刷题比较多的同学提问，如果新句子中既没有代词也没有逻辑，那要怎么办呢？不要慌张，如果觉得新句子给到的线索不太多，也可以结合小方块前后原文本身的联系来做排除法。一起来看下面的例题吧！

　　例题三：

　　Speculation on the origin of these Pacific islanders began as soon as outsiders encountered them, in the absence of solid linguistic, archaeological, and biological data, many fanciful and mutually exclusive theories were devised. Pacific islanders are variously thought to have come from North America, South America, Egypt, Israel, and India, as well as Southeast Asia. ■Many older theories implicitly deprecated the navigational abilities and overall cultural creativity of the Pacific islanders. ■For example, British anthropologists G. Elliot Smith and W. J. Perry assumed that only Egyptians would have been skilled enough to navigate and colonize the Pacific. ■They inferred that the Egyptians even crossed the Pacific to found the great civilizations of the New World (North and South America). ■In 1947 Norwegian adventurer Thor Heyerdahl drifted on a balsa-log raft westward with the winds and currents across the Pacific from South America to prove his theory that Pacific islanders were Native Americans (also called American Indians). Later Heyerdahl suggested that the Pacific was peopled by three migrations: by Native Americans from the Pacific Northwest of North America drifting to Hawaii, by Peruvians drifting to Easter Island, and by Melanesians. In 1969 he crossed the Atlantic in an Egyptian-style reed boat to prove Egyptian influences in the Americas. Contrary to these theorists, the overwhelming evidence of physical anthropology, linguistics, and archaeology shows that the Pacific islanders came from Southeast Asia and were skilled enough as navigators to sail against the prevailing winds and currents.

　　13. Look at the four squares [■] that indicate where the following sentence could be added to the passage.

　　Later theories concentrate on journeys in the other direction.

　　Where could the sentence best fit?

　　我们还是先翻译一下新句子：之后的理论集中在另外方向的旅行。可以发现，这个句子没有代词，也没有明显的逻辑关系词，非常适合实践一下我们的新技巧，分析原文的联系。

　　首先，我们来看第一个小方块，后面说到了Many older theories很多更早的理论，而我们这个新句子说的是之后的理论，在没有任何展开的情况下，是没办法直接连上以前的理论的，所以第一个选项pass。

　　其次，我们来看第二个小方块，后面说到了For example举例，这个例子说明的就是前面一句older theorie的内容，所以第二个选项pass。

　　再次，我们来看第三个小方块，后面说到了They inferred他们推断，这里的他们指代的就是上一句中British anthropologists G. Elliot Smith and W. J. Perry，所以第三个选项pass。剩下来的第四个小方块就是我们的答案了。

　　以上就是能够在20分这个分数段做好修辞目的题和句子插入题的六个技巧，大家赶紧实践起来吧！祝愿大家都能拿高分、冲满分！
