在先托福的考试，更注重语言的实用性，从阅读方法来说不但增加了长度同样也是对全文理解增加了难度。但是，换种角度考虑这也是读考生英语整体水平提高的一种挑战。下面我们就来看看阅读题目中的同义的改写。
其次，定位完成后，选项部分可能又会进行一个同义改写。比如例一原文中的“to provide a well-regulated economy that guaranteed opportunity for citizens of ability”所对应的正确选项换了个说法，被改写成了“To maintain an economy that allowed all capable citizens to benefit”。所以在选择选项的时候，你也不能期待选项一定是原文中一模一样的表达。
同义改写的设置不仅仅是在托福阅读中，听力中也涉及到了同样的问题，也就是说正确的选项并不一定是你所到的原词原句，基本上都会设置同义改写来确定你是否真的听懂了。例二的同义改写现象请同学们自己做出分析。
例一：According to paragraph 3,which of the following describes the Whig Party’s view of the role of government?
A.To regulate the continuing conflict
B.To restrict the changes brought about by the market
C.To maintain an economy that allowed all capable citizens to benefit
D.To reduce the emphasis on economic development
Paragraph 3 : Whigs, on the other hand, were more comfortable with the market. For them, commerce and economic development agents of civilization. Nor did the Whigs envision any conflict in society between farers and workers on the one hand and businesspeople and bankers on the other. Economic growth would benefit everyone by raising national income and expanding opportunity. The government’s responsibility was to provide a well-regulated economy that guaranteed opportunity for citizens of ability。
例二：According to paragraph 3, the loss of natural vegetation has which of the following consequences for soil?
A.Increased stony content
B.Reduced water absorption
C.Increased numbers of spaces in the soil
D.Reduced water runoff
Paragraph 3: Even in the areas that retain a soil cover, the reduction of vegetation typically results in the loss of the soil's ability to absorb substantial quantities of water. The impact of raindrops on the loose soil tends to transfer fine clay particles into the tiniest soil spaces, sealing them and producing a surface that allows very little water penetration. Water absorption is greatly reduced; consequently runoff is increased, resulting in accelerated erosion rates. The gradual drying of the soil caused by its diminished ability to absorb water results in the further loss of vegetation, so that a cycle of progressive surface deterioration is established。
