【#托福考試(TOEFL)# #托福閱讀的三大步驟#】向著順利通過考試的目標,邁步向前,必然會成功拿到證書。以下是“托福閱讀的三大步驟”,快來學習吧!
第一,掌握詞匯
在托?荚嚨膫淇歼^程中,詞匯是至關重要的,每一道題都和單詞息息相關。背單詞的根本捷徑就是要堅持。首先選擇一本亂序的托福詞匯書,按計劃每天背誦一百個左右,這一百個單詞可以分三組來背,早上三十,中午三十,下午三十。記住背完單詞之后,當天晚上一定要進行復習和檢查,檢查的方式可以是英譯中,中譯英或者聽譯,整理出沒有記住的單詞,第二天早晨復習。然后集中刷托福的詞匯題,一天刷50題左右,在刷題的過程中積累核心詞匯。
第二,熟悉背景知識
很多學生在練習的過程中會遇到內容太陌生的文章,以至于很難投入做題。比如TPO里面有一篇文章講到化學元素周期表,部分學生覺得讀起來很費勁,然而化學專業(yè)的學生做起來很爽。托福閱讀內容的難度是國外大學程度的學術類文章的難度。所以學生在復習備考的過程中,如果時間充足的話,可以對托福閱讀所涉及的背景知識多一些了解,擴大知識面,比如讀一些 The Economist 的文章。如果時間比較緊張,建議就拿TPO就可以了,通過做TPO了解相關背景知識。做完一篇文章后,還要整體地總結一下文章大意和思路,總結出每一段的段落大意。
第三,運用解題技巧
托福閱讀考試一共有十種題型,詞匯題,句子簡化題,指代題和句子插入題是對核心詞匯,句子核心意思和段內結構的考察;細節(jié)題,推斷題,否定信息題和修辭目的題是對文章細節(jié)的考察;六選三和表格題是對文章的分析和總結。
1. 細節(jié)題要注意利用關鍵詞定位,關鍵詞選擇數(shù)字,人名地名和專有名詞。找到關鍵詞所在的句子,和選項進行核對的時候注意同義替換,比如:
Paragraph 1: It should be obvious that cetaceans-whales, porpoises, and dolphins-are mammals. They breathe through lungs, not through gills, and give birth to live young. Their streamlined bodies, the absence of hind legs, and the presence of a fluke and blowhole cannot disguise their affinities with land-dwelling mammals.
In paragraph 1, what does the author say about the presence of a blowhole in cetaceans?
A. It clearly indicates that cetaceans are mammals.
B. It cannot conceal the fact that cetaceans are mammals.
C. It is the main difference between cetaceans and land-dwelling mammals.
D. It cannot yield clues about the origins of cetaceans.
根據(jù)關鍵詞blowhole定位到 and the presence of a fluke and blowhole cannot disguise their affinities with land-dwelling mammals,核對選項,conceal 和disguise 同義替換。
2. 句子簡化題要求正確選項能夠準確表達原句的核心意思,保證邏輯關系不變 (因果,轉折,對比,比較,并列),主體不變和修飾不變。我們可以先從邏輯關系入手,排除一些選項,比如:
The Whigs were strongest in the towns, cities, and those rural areas that were fully integrated into the market economy, whereas Democrats dominated areas of semisubstence farming that were more isolated and languishing economically.
A Whigs were able to attract support only in the wealthiest parts of the country because Democrates dominated in other areas.
B Whig and Democratic areas of influence were naturally split between urban and rural areas, respectively.
C The semisubsistence farming areas dominated by Democrats became increasingly isolated by the Whigs' control of the market economy .
D The Democrats' power was greatest in poor areas while the Whigs were strongest in those areas where the market was already fully opening.
原句的“whereas”表示對比,與之相一致的只有D選項的“while”。
