托福阅读题目中，句子简化题又叫做释义题即recognizing paraphrases，是新托福阅读当中比较浪费考生时间的一种题型，考生在做句子简化题是需要先判断出句子的逻辑关系，然后选择与题干逻辑及语义对等的选项。下面就来为大家分析一下如何解答托福阅读中简化题。
In evolutionary history, the development of language set humans apart fromthe rest of the animal kingdom.
Which sentence below best expresses the essential information in the highlighted sentence in the passage? Incorrect choices change the meaning in important ways or leave out essential information.
A.Humans evolved as the most powerful species after they are developed language.seadragonedu.com
B.The creation of human language has its origins in the language of animals.
C.The emergence of language distinguished early humans from other animals.
D.Humans and animals developed completed different systems of communication.
先来看题干：Which sentence below best expresses the essential information in the highlighted sentence in the passage? Incorrect choices change the meaning in important ways or leave out essential information.
该题要求从选项中选择一个能够表达原文阴影句子核心信息的句子。很多同学采用翻译的方法做题，即首先翻译原句，然后逐个翻译四个选项。这种做法不仅浪费时间，而且对我们的读句子的能力要求极高。更好的做法是，首先判断句子的核心信息。这是考题当中为数不多的原句比较简单的句子释义题，原句的核心概念在于如何去强调区分(apart from)。因此找到同义替换，即是C项当中的distinguished。
总之，在简化题目中还应该尽量避免逐一去翻译每一个答案选项，而应该首先找到答案中的关键词，从而提高答题效率。
