托福阅读如何把握出题范围?
如今的托福阅读词汇等固然重要,但要知道托福阅读题材的积累以及托福阅读题型的掌握也是重中之重,这就要靠大家在复习的时候就着手准备了,下面就来看一看这方面的知识。
托福阅读如何把握出题范围?
1、托福阅读题材——增加背景知识
有部分学生反映做托福阅读时很难投入进去,有一点原因就是对于托福阅读文章所述内容太过陌生,如果你对其略知一二,相信定会有所不同。比如练习题中有篇文章讲到化学元素周期表,对于高中生来说再熟悉不过了,阅读的时候半读半猜,估计也可以理解的八九不离十了。
若考试准备时间充足,可以多加涉猎,扩充自己的知识背景;若时间紧张,则需搞定练习题套题。根据文章记忆单词,并不是文章中出现的每一个“陌生的面孔” 都要去熟悉,比如一些繁琐的专有名词跳过即可。主要记忆的当然是一些动词、名词及形容词,尤其是出现在句子主干中,与解题有关的词汇。
除了词汇,应学会分析题干及题目,比如题干中出现了effect,conclusion之类的词,其实已经界定了我们寻找的范围——段落靠后的部分,还有就是观点性和总结性的句子永远会是考察的重点所在。做题的时候学会分析原文和选项,进行对比,比如句子简化题,做一题需要看五个长句,似乎很花费时间,但并不需要每个句子都要细看,而是先明确原句的逻辑及主干,抓住选项中的关键点与原句进行比较。
例如:As a result of crustal adjustments and faulting, the Strait of Gibraltar, where the Mediterranean now connects to the Atlantic, opened, and water cascaded spectacularly back into the Mediterranean.A. The strait of Gibraltar reopened when the Mediterranean and the Atlantic became connected and the cascades of water from one sea to the other caused crustal adjustments and faulting.B. The Mediterranean was dramatically refilled by water from the Atlantic when crustal adjustments and faulting opened the Strait of Gibraltar, the place where the two seas are joined.C. The cascades of water from the Atlantic to the Mediterranean were not as spectacular as the crustal adjustments and faulting that occurred when the Strait of Gibraltar was connected to those seas.D. As a result of crustal adjustments and faultin;g and the creation of the Strait of Gibraltar, the Atlantic and Mediterranean were connected and became a single sea with spectacular cascades of water between them。
原句是因果逻辑的句子,先找出其因: crustal adjustments and faulting,果:the Strait opened, and water cascaded spectacularly back into the Mediterranean。接着来看选项:A…. caused crustal adjustments and faulting 显然是因果倒置了,毫不犹豫地灭掉;C. 因为此选项中出现比较not as spectacular as, 非常惹眼的一个核心词,而原文中是修饰动词的副词spectacularly,并未进行比较,二话不说也排除掉;D. As a result of crustal adjustments and faulting and the creation of the Strait of Gibraltar,… 这原因里怎么多出来一项啊,掳袖子撵人吧!
2、托福阅读题型——注重解题方法
托福阅读题型10种,除最后的小结题外大都属于考查文章细节的题目。根据题干中的关键词定位是至关重要的一步,然后就是理解。此时如果词汇量太小怎么办?事实上做阅读我们永远要牢记的就是找句子主干,考查的信息基本都在主干中体现了,
比如:The deer which once picturesquely dotted the meadows around the fort were gone [in 1832], hunted to extermination in order to protect the crops。
这个句子较长,其中有which引导的定语从句,还有hunted… 这个状语,而解题时我们只需要句子的主干The deer were gone。多数同学在做题时有个习惯就是看到一句话后就开始逐词阅读,甚至试图把它翻译成中文,这可谓“兵家大忌”。
遇到一句话先抓主干,遇到整段记得扫描段落有无显眼的连词,举例信号词等,浏览每段的主题句。
再说一下小结题,大多数考生的切肤之痛。一是做到最后一题时时间已所剩无几,二是最后一题是对全文的主要内容的总结,相对复杂。
一是做题之前可大概浏览文章的标题及每段首句。作为学术性的阅读文章,首句基本都是主题句。尤其是总分结构的文章,比如练习题6中的Infantile Amnesia, 虽然文章较难理解,但是文中明确提出了三种观点first,second,third… 那么此类文章小结题的选项太显而易见了。
再者,文章的每段会对应出2-3道题,那么题目中对应的部分基本都是段落的核心所在。从这两点就可以很快了解文章的主要内容。所以在进行练习题练习时,做题虽不可或缺,但还要注意多加练习快速阅读文章的能力。
通过上面对于托福阅读题型以及托福阅读题材的介绍相信大家一定都明白了如何进行复习了,这样在以后面对托福阅读考试的时候就能从容应对了。
