我们在解决托福阅读主题型题目的时候，问题是没有的规则的，但是可以找出的规律。北京新航道小编举例说明了一些信息，供大家参考学习。

　　举例目的题是修辞目的题中出现多、代表性强的一类。经过上述分析，相信大家已经对举例的目的有所了解，即：例子是为了证明论点的。而时候在具体信息，也就是例子之前还有一个具体的论点(statement)，因此例子的目的也就有三个层次：

　　1. 例子之前general statement

　　2. 段落的TS

　　3. 文章的TS

　　Paragraph 1 : The United States dancer Loie Fuller (1862-1928) found theatrical dance in the late nineteenth century artistically unfulfilling. She considered herself an artist rather than a mere entertainer, and she, in turn, attracted the notice of other artists。

　　Paragraph 5 : As her technological expertise grew more sophisticated, so did the other aspects of her dances. Although she gave little thought to music in her earliest dances, she later used scores by Gluck, Beethoven, Schubert, Chopin, and Wagner, eventually graduating to Stravinsky, Fauré, Debussy, and Mussorgsky, composers who were then considered progressive. She began to address more ambitious themes in her dances such as The Sea, in which her dancers invisibly agitated a huge expanse of silk, played upon by colored lights. Always open to scientific and technological innovations, she befriended the scientists Marie and Pierre Curie upon their discovery of radium and created a Radium Dance, which simulated the phosphorescence of that element. She both appeared in films-then in an early stage of development-and made them herself; the hero of her fairy-tale film Le Lys de la Vie (1919) was played by René Clair, later a leading French film director。

　　9. Why does the author mention Fuller's The Sea?

　　A.To point out a dance of Fuller's in which music did not play an important role

　　B.To explain why Fuller sometimes used music by progressive composers

　　C. To illustrate a particular way in which Fuller developed as an artist

　　D. To illustrate how Fuller's interest in science was reflected in her work

　　这是一道修辞目的题中问举例目的的题，这道题得答案如果没有"三步走"的解法指导一时间很难看出来。但根据"三步走"解法，大家便能在比较短的时间内找到答案。首先发现the sea 所在的段落中心句应该是句：As her technological expertise grew more sophisticated, so did the other aspects of her dances. 也就是说她除了舞蹈中的科技水平以外，其它方面也了。那这一段应该将具体哪几个方面有了。由此这一段又可以分成四个部分，也就是TS之后的四句话，每句话讲了她一个方面的。可以发现The Sea是出现在这一段除TS之外的第2句话中，而这句话前半部分给出了一个general statement, 即She began to address more ambitious themes in her dances。此时如果选项中有意思相同的就可以选出正确答案了，和可惜这道题的答案并不那么明显，所以我们继续走第二步，找段落TS。

　　综上，修辞目的题考察了考生的角色转换能力。通过对出题原理和作者写作逻辑的分析我们可以总结出"三步走"的解法规律，以在考场上用最短的时间找到正确答案。相信有了这个框架，大家能明白考场上修辞目的题得答案应该往哪儿找，从而层层考察，找出答案。

　　上面托福阅读主题型中修辞的具体分析，同学们要认真学习，转化为自己的能力，成绩。北京新航道小编预祝各位考试顺利，早日结束考试。
