托福口语：判断题型的考点解析

会计考友

Q: Zoos made an insignificant contribution to conservation up until 30 years ago.  
P: Zoos were originally created as places of entertainment, and their suggested involvement with conservation didn’t seriously arise until about 30 years ago.  
这道题目的考点换成了insignificant, 这次的对应词不像上一道题目那么好找，in这次对应是didn’t, 而significant对应的是seriously arise, 答案同样为TRUE.  

5 t$ [8 S( U- [* O+ v, U: q还是这篇文章里的一道题目：  
Q: The number of successful zoo conservation programmes is unsatisfactory.  
5 ]" Q1 w! d$ ^2 P4 bP: Today approximately 16 species might be said to have been “saved” by captive breeding prgrammes, although a number of these can hardly be looked upon as resounding successes.  
现在大家一定已经清楚了考点词为unsatisfactory, 再回原文找一下对应，这次un对应hardly, 而satisfactory对应的是success.

& U/ k0 k) ?6 ^1 A! o; t综合三道题目来看，考点都为否定词，做题目的思路上基本一致，都在找对应，而答案又惊人地一致，都选了TRUE.请仔细体会。

: i! K- N$ F- D: E' x9 J; @下面给大家一道题目，练习一下：  
Q: Biologists are unable to explain why the frogs are dying.  
P: Biologists are at a loss to explain their demise.  
1 U) m, V* \3 {' n  y6 L! h: A% N能不能找到unable的对应词呢？如果你并不认识原文中的间接否定短语be at a loss to 的话，那么至少你知道loss这个词能够表明否定含义，否定词对应到了否定词，其他的就不用担心了。答案为TURE。原文中的短语be at a loss to 意思即为“不知道，不知所措。”请注意积累。
