关于托福阅读的那些事儿

Source: 互联网    2017-06-27  我要投稿   论坛   Favorite  

  每次走入新带教的班级,时常有学生问起我这样一个问题,“老师,我的文章理解没啥问题,但为何分数却不高?It’s INCREDIBLE!!!。”相信这个问题也一直困扰着那些还未和托福阅读分手的童鞋们。因此,今天就让我们一起来聊聊托福阅读那些事儿。

  单词熟练及灵活运用程度。

  从某种意义上来说, 词汇量的多少是决定托福阅读高分的关键和基础。但有着大量词汇的你,是不是词汇题还会错,感觉心好累。。。那我想问问你,做题时单词有没有熟练运用呢?还是在那儿生搬硬套?我们一起试试这道例题。

  Although southern Maya areas received more rainfall than northern areas, problems of water wereparadoxically more severe in the wet south. While that made things hard for ancient Maya living in the south, it has also made things hard for modern archaeologists who have difficulty understanding why ancient droughts caused bigger problems in the wet south than in the dry north.

  The word “paradoxically”in the passage is closest in meaning to ?

  ○usually

  ○surprisingly

  ○understandably

  ○predictably

  Paradoxically原意: 悖论地;自相矛盾地。但这四个选项与单词原意并无直接对应。这时,我们就需要回到文中具体语境进行理解:

  尽管玛雅南部地区比之北部有更多的降水,但是水资源问题在潮湿的南面却(出乎意料)更为严重。所以这道题的答案选B~ 大家都选对了吗?

  阅读段落及选项的仔细程度。

  Paragraph 3: Climatic changes at the end of the glacial period 13,000 years ago have been proposed to account for the emergence of farming. The temperature increased dramatically in a short period of time (years rather than centuries), allowing for a growth of the hunting-gathering population due to the abundance of resources. There were, however, fluctuations in the climatic conditions, with the consequences that wet conditions were followed by dry ones, so that the availability of plants and animals oscillated brusquely.

  According to paragraph 3, the abundance of resources fluctuated sharply after the end of the glacial period because?

  A.Locally abundant resources were quicklyexhausted by hunter-gatherers.

  B.The temperature became much higher in someareas over others.

  C.Different types of plants and animals became available as the climate changed.

  D.The amount of rainfall varied radically from one period to the next.

  1分钟的思考时间,你会选择哪个选项?在纠结是选A呢?还是选B呢?好吧,公布正确答案是D,一脸诧异!!!为什么?首先,题目中关键词——the abundance of resources, fluctuated, because。接着,缩小定位区间——文章最后一句话。所以呢,答案就选D啦~

  PS:关于定位问题,在这儿省略100字,详细可参考之前Sherry老师的文章哦~

  阅读文章的专注程度。

  托福阅读文章内容主要由学术性内容构成,涉及的话题及其广泛,主要包括三大类话题:

  A. 自然科学类(天文,地质,生物,气象等)

  B. 人文科学类(艺术,考古,语言,文学等)

  C. 社会科学类(政治,经济,教育,人类学等)

  其中,不乏有一些我们不熟悉且不擅长的学科内容,所以,读了一会儿,你是不是就觉得枯燥乏味,从而无法再专注继续读完呢?

  所以,在课余生活中,我们更应该多读此类文章(结合“机考”,更多可以从网上直接阅读),一方面可以了解常识和拓展知识面,另一方面还可增加相关内容的单词量,何乐而不为呢~

  写到这里忽然想起了那句“托福虐我千百遍,我待托福如初恋”,希望以上的总结能对备考中的你有所帮助~~~托福er,加油!!!
