咱们知道在语文中修辞的意思是："修"是润饰的意思，"辞"的原本意思是争辩的言词，修辞转义便是润饰言辞。但是托福阅览中的修辞意义更广，依据官方 攻略(official guide)的说法，这儿的修辞是指"有用写作或演讲的艺术"，也便是说，某个详细信息或许是为了给某个观念举例子，下定义，或许是为了阐述、解说、对 比、辩驳、着重、批判某个观念。而这儿说的详细信息或许是一个词、一句话甚至是一个阶段。另外，修辞意图题的发问方法也比较固定，即：Why does the author mention X in the paragraph 1? 或许是What is the author's primary purpose in paragraph 1?

　　因而依据详细信息或许是一个词、一句话甚至是一个阶段以及修辞意图题的发问方法，咱们能够将修辞意图题分为两小类，榜首小类：某个阶段内某个详细信息在一个阶段中的效果;第二小类：某个阶段在整篇文章中的效果。咱们先来看榜首小类题。

　　依据榜首小类题的特色，咱们把这一类题意图解题技巧概括为以下三个过程：关键词定位，解析句群，核对选项。关键词定位，依据题干中说到的详细信息找到 它在原文中出现的位置;解析句群，找到详细信息后，读详细信息地点的那一句话以及它的上下句，找到这个详细信息支撑的观念;核对选项，观念便是正确答案。 咱们结合例题来看看这三个过程详细怎么运用。

　　例题1：Passage Excerpt: 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. 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.

　　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

　　首要咱们依据题干中的关键词“in the early Italian Renaissance”定位到“For example, in the early Italian Renaissance, bronze statues of horses with a raised foreleg usually had a cannonball under that hoof.”这一句话。在读懂这一句话后，咱们发现这句话中有一个“for example”。很显然，作者写这一句是为了支撑前文说到的一个观念，而观念便是它的前一句话“These are problems that must be overcome by the artist because they tend to intrude upon his or her conception of the work.”最后依据咱们对观念句的了解，核对选项。因而本题答案是榜首个选项。

　　第二小类题目问的是文章中某个阶段在文章中的效果。咱们知道作者在一篇文章中写一个阶段意图便是为了支撑整篇文章，换而言之，阶段粗心必定服务于文章粗心。因而第二小类题做题技巧即为找阶段粗心，核对选项。咱们还是结合例题来看看这两个过程。

　　例题2：Passage Excerpt: Observational assessment techniques have become much more sophisticated, reducing the limitations just presented. Film analysis of the infant‘s responses, heart and respiration rate monitors, and nonnutritive sucking devices are used as effective tools in understanding infant perception. As stimuli were presented, changes in the infant's sucking behavior were recorded. Increases in the number of sucks were used as an indicator of the infant's attention to or preference for a given visual display.

　　What is the author's primary purpose in paragraph 3?

　　To explain why researchers must conduct more than one type of study when they are attempting to understand infant perception.

　　To describe new techniques for observing infant perception that overcome problems identified in the previous paragraph.

　　To present and evaluate the conclusions of various studies on infant perception.

　　To point out the strengths and weaknesses of three new methods for quantifying an infant's reaction to stimuli.

　　我们读完这一段话后，应该很简单就能得到这一段话的阶段粗心，即该段榜首句话。依据榜首句话的意思，咱们快速找到正确答案即第二个选项。

　　上面为我们讲解了新托福阅览修辞意图题的两小类题目，通过学习讲解到的它们各自的技巧，信任我们今后能够比较简单，比较快速地解决掉这一类题。
