新托福考試的句子簡化題著實令不少考生頭大，其實掌握以下幾點就可以練就一副火眼金睛。下面就跟大家分享一下我個人攻克句子簡化題的方法。

一：邏輯關系正確?？忌⒁怏w會選項是否滿足文章的邏輯關系，如轉折，因果，比較，條件等，其次是邏輯關系是否顛倒了。
二：把握句子主干的意思?？忌獙W會挑主句的句子成分，選項通常是最先滿足主句意思才可以入圍備選答案。

下面以TPO5第二篇文章為例來詳解策略一二的具體運用。
Paragraph4: Contrary to the arguments of some that much of the pacific was settled by Polynesians accidentally marooned after being lost and adrift, it seems reasonable that this feat was accomplished by deliberate colonization expeditions that set out fully stocked with food and domesticated plants and anima
1. Which of the sentences 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.
Some people have argued that the Pacific was settled by traders who became lost while transporting domesticated plants and animals.
The original Polynesian settlers were probably marooned on the islands, but they may have been joined later by carefully prepared colonization expeditions.
Although it seems reasonable to believe that colonization expeditions would set out fully stocked, this is contradicted by much of the evidence.
The settlement of the Pacific islands was probably intentional and well planned rather than accidental as some people have proposed.
原句中有contrary to …表示存有對比轉折的邏輯關系，因為A,B選項沒有對應的邏輯關系，因此可以直接排除，剩下CD選項，其中C是原文中主句的意思，在選項C中只是充當從句的位置，因此也可以排除。唯有最后D選項符合原文的邏輯關系，為正確答案。
