TOEFL一道阅读题
原文
Some of the world’s finest stone architecture can be seen in the ruins of the ancient Inca city of Machu Picchu high in the eastern Andes Mountains of Peru.The doorways and windows are made possible by placing over the open spaces thick stone beams that support the weight from above.A structural invention had to be made before the physical limitations of stone could be overcome and new architectural forms could be created.That invention was the arch,a curved structure originally made of separate stone or brick segments.
Why dose the author include a description of how the “doorways and windows” of Machu Picchu were constructed?
To provide an illustration of the kind of construction that was required before arches were invented
原文是说A structural invention即arch 先被 made,然後construction才可以created.但答案却相反说 the kind of construction 先被made,然後才是arch被invented
怎麼这麼怪?
看清这裏A structural invention had to be made before the physical limitations of stone could be overcome and new architectural forms could be created.That invention was the arch,就是说A structural invention即arch 先被 made,然後construction才可以created

你没明白问题,“Why dose the author include a description of” 这个问题是问举例的原因,基本与举例的内容无关,之关注于举例的目的与在文中所支持或反对的观点即可.文中的意思是指 “doorways and windows” 出现在“That invention was the arch" 之前,就是想先表达在arch出现之前的情况,以引出arch出现后的区别.

因为错误选项的设置方法之一就是“添加逻辑关系词”，TOEFL句子改写的核心在于：“逻辑大于内容”！不搞清楚这点，其他类似的题也会错的。祝考试顺利！ ..
