托福阅读修辞目的题
修辞目的题已经做为托福必考题型，修辞目的题每篇文章考0-2题。我分析认为，它主要考查考生们理解为什么在文章中某个特别位置或者以某种特别的方式陈述一个特别的信息。托福阅读的修辞目的题怎么攻克呢?
1)有时要求同学确定一个段落与另一个段落之间的联系
2)有时考查提到某一条特别信息的原因(句子之间的联系)

答题技巧
修辞目的题一般可分为以下几类：
一、例子题
例子题一般占修辞目的题出题机会的70%, 题干中出现的X本身是段落中出现的一个例子，这类题是送分题，因为要么是先举
例子后总结/概述(理论)，要么是先概述(理论)后举例子，所以答案多半是绕过例子看概述，而概述的改写就是本题答案的所在，也就是说哪个选项的内容和概述的内容一致就是答案。因此考生也可以用排除法选答案。

Paragraph 4
The first generation to experience the changes did not adopt the new attitudes easily. The factory clock became the symbol of the new work rules. One mill worker who finally quit complained revealingly about "obedience to the
ding-dong of the belljust as though we are so many living machines.' With the loss of personal freedom also came the loss of standing in the community
4. In paragraph 4, the author includes the quotation from
a mill worker in order to
○ support the idea that it was difficult for workers to adjust to working in factories
○ to show that workers sometimes quit becau of the loud noi made by factory machinery
○ argue that clocks did not have a uful function in factories
计算机与信息管理
○ emphasize that factories were most successful when workers revealed their complaints
分析：此题中我们依据mill worker定位，能定位到原文对应内容为One mill worker who finally quit complained revealingly about "obedience to the ding-dong of the belljust as though we are so many living machines', 绕过例子读理论，理论"The first generation to experience the changes did not adopt the new attitudes easily. The factory clock became the symbol of the new work rules.'在例子前面，依据此理论，我们即可以选出正确答案为个选项。

enting "steam,' we t the stage for future explosions.'在例子之后，依据此例子，我们可以确定答案为第三个选项。
