托福阅读需要注意的四个方面

为什么新托福阅读让很多考生束手无策呢?如果备考托福阅读才能提高成绩呢?今天文都国际小编和大家分享的是托福阅读需要注意的四个方面,一起来看看详细内容吧。

托福阅读需要注意:单词记忆

单词记忆主要就是背单词。背单词是很多同学觉得非常痛苦的事情,经常会有学生来问药怎么背,背了一些又马上忘了另外一些。所以关于如何去背单词,在这里有几点建议:

1、利用零散的时间背单词。利用零散的时间背单词可以使用单词卡片。不过,为了保证效率,首先要确定哪些单词需要记忆。理论上,单词量越多越好。实际上,如果一味贪多,结果容易打疲劳战,而且效率低。所以,只记那些常考的核心词汇,而对于那些不太常用的学科名词、物质名词一般加以忽略。

2、进行高频率的重复,建议把重复的周期控制在7天以内。具体说来,就是每天背100个单词,将过一遍这些单词的时间控制在半个小时以内,每天过4 遍,第二天再过一遍前一天的。如果程度不是很好的同学可以压缩到50个左右,但尽量不要低于50个。单词材料可以找一些相关的新托福阅读词汇书,或者是以往考过的词汇题内容。

3、把背单词和阅读相结合。广泛的阅读也是增加词汇量的一种方法,并且能够在阅读中加强对已经背过的单词的记忆。当一篇文章的生词量在5%左右的时候,这些生词的词义是可推的。所以我们在选择托福阅读材料的时候,应尽量将单词量控制在10%左右。单词太多,看不懂文章,太少又起不到提高的作用。相关材料可以上一些网站看,例如economist, national geographic等等。

托福阅读需要注意:词根词缀

有了一定的单词基础,那么通过词根词缀去猜单词也不成问题了。而且除了单词有同义词,词根词缀也有同义关系。例如都是表达否定的同义前缀就有in-,un, non-,dis-等等,表示否定的后缀有-less,所以当看到题目中的单词有这类的否定含义,那么就可以去找选择项中也有否定前缀和后缀的词,也许就是正确选项,因为都是具有否定关系的。例如incalculable和unmeasured就是一组同义词。所以对于一些常见词缀词根是需要考生记忆的。具体有哪些可以参见一些英语字典的附录。

托福阅读需要注意:逻辑关系

逻辑关系主要是看上下文及背景内容。比较常见的逻辑关系是并列,转折,因果,递进等,所以考生要特别注意记忆逻辑关系连接词。

例如这句话The heavy amounts of heat and pollution rising form cities both delay and stimulate the fall of precipitation, depriving some

areas of rain while drenching others.这句话中出现一个逻辑关系连接词while,这个词是表示一种转折,意思是然而,所以drenching和之前的动作depriving构成了反义关系,depriving意思是剥夺,所以drenching可以猜测其意可能与剥夺相反,前文为剥夺了一些地方的雨,那么相反就是给予另一些地方更多的雨,所以可以看到选择项中C. Thoroughly wetting就是表达了多雨这个意思。而drenching本意就是湿透的意思。

托福阅读需要注意:代入验证

由于新托福的题目都是单选题,所以范围已经缩小到四选一,尤其是对词汇题来说,有一种方法就是将选项中的词放入到原文中去阅读,看意思与上下文是否合拍通顺,如文章中选择的单词前后有介词,就更能显出代入验证的好处。例如有这样一句话:When hoisted up in the sky, the microscopic particles act as... 选择项则为A. Lifted B. Grouped C. returned D. pointed, 四个选项代入后,发现只有A选项能和后面的介词UP连接通顺,所以答案就是A选项,表示升起的意思。

以上就是小编分享的托福阅读需要注意的四个方面,希望对同学们的备考有帮助。最后,预祝大家考出满意的成绩。

托福阅读解题技巧-句子插入题(一)

托福阅读解题技巧-句子插入题(一) 托福阅读不同于传统阅读,其中包含了”句子插入题”这类特殊题型,这也是托福阅读中相对难得分的题型。此类题型中,题干中会给出一个新的句子,然后会在原文段落中给出四个黑框,考察新句子在文章中最合适的位置。针对于此类题型的解答,有很多实用的方法,今天我们要介绍的是在剩余时间不多的情况下,最简单最便捷的解决方法-语义指代匹配法。 在上下句的关联中,代词是最为紧密的一类词。当作者再次谈及上句相关话题时,为了避免重复,遵循语言学的最简单化原理,作者会用代词指代上文内容,常见指示代词this, that, these, those, 人称代词they, she, he, 或it ,还有their, such, another等。对于此类题型的具体解题步骤如下: ①确认指代对象:根据指代词找到其所指代的对象; ②定位指代对象:通过浏览扫描段落信息,确定指代对象位置; ③代入验证:把插入句代入含有指代对象所在句的后面进行验证即可。 接下来,我们通过具体实例来论证使用语义指代匹配法。 案例: Paragraph 1: Before 1815 manufacturing in the United States had been done in homes or shops by skilled artisans.■As master craft workers, they imparted the knowledge of their trades to apprentices and journeymen. ■In addition, women often worked in their homes part-time, making finished articles from raw material supplied by merchant capitalists. ■After 1815 this older form of manufacturing began to give way to factories with machinery tended by unskilled or semiskilled laborers. ■Cheap transportation networks, the rise of cities, and the availability of capital and credit all stimulated the shift to factory production. 11. Look at the four squares[■]that indicate where the following sentence can be added to the passage. This new form of manufacturing depended on the movement of goods to distant locations and a centralized source of laborers.

2020年托福阅读模拟试题及答案(卷九)

2020年托福阅读模拟试题及答案(卷九) 托福阅读文本: The Native American peoples of the north Pacific Coast created a highly complex maritime culture as they invented modes of production unique to their special environment. In addition to their sophisticated technical culture, they also attained one of the most complex social organizations of any nonagricultural people in the world. In a division of labor similar to that of the hunting peoples in the interior and among foraging peoples throughout the world, the men did most of the fishing, and the women processed the catch. Women also specialized in the gathering of the abundant shellfish that lived closer to shore. They collected oysters, crabs, sea urchins, mussels, abalone, and clams, which they could gather while remaining close to their children. The maritime life harvested by the women not only provided food, but also supplied more of the raw materials for making tools than did fish gathered by the men. Of particular importance for the native tool kit before the introduction of metal was the wide knife made from the larger mussel shells, and a variety of cutting edges that could be made from other marine shells. The women used their tools to process all of the fish and marine mammals brought in by the men. They cleaned the fish, and dried vast quantities of them for the winter. They sun-dried fish when practical, but

老托福阅读真题 (11)

2002年8月TOEFL试题 Section Three: Reading Comprehension Question 1-9 Often enough the craft worker’s place of employment in ancient Greece was set in rural isolation. Potter, for instance, found it convenient to locate their workshops near their source of clay, regardless of its relation to the center of settlement, At Corinth and Athens, however, two of the best-known potters’ quarters were situated on the cities’ outskirts, and potters and makers of terra-cotta figurines were also established well within the city of Athens itself. The techniques of pottery manufacture had evolved well before the Greek period, but marked stylistic developments occurred in shape and in decoration, for example, in the interplay of black and other glazes with the red surface of the fired pot. Athenian black-figure and red-figure decoration, which emphasized human figures rather than animal images, was adopted between 630 and 530 B.C.;its distinctive color and luster were the result of the skillful adjustments of the kiln’s temperat ure during an extended three-stage period if firing the clayware. Whether it was the potters or the vase-painters who initiated changes in firing is unclear; the functions of making and decorating were usually divided between them, but neither group can have been so specialized the they did not share in the concerns of the other. The broad utility of terra-cotta was such that workers in clay could generally afford to confine themselves to either decorated ware and housewares like cooking pots and storage Jars or building materials like roof tiles and drainpipes, some sixth-and fifth-century B.C. Athenian pottery establishments are known to have concentrated on a limited range of fine ware, but a rural pottery establishment on the island of Thasos produced many types of pottery and roof tiles too, presumably to meet local demand. Molds were used to create particular effects for some products, such as relief-decorated vessels and figurines; for other products such as roof tiles, which were needed in some quantity, they were used to facilitate mass production. There were also a number of poor-quality figurines and painted pots produced in quantity by easy, inexpensive means- as numerous featureless statuettes and unattractive cases testify. 1. The passage mainly discusses ancient Greek pottery and its (A) production techniques (B) similarity to other crafts (C) unusual materials (D) resemblance to earlier pottery 2. The phrase “regardless of” in line 3 is closest in meaning to (A) as a result of (B) no matter what (C) proud of (D) according to 3. It can be inferred from the passage that most pottery establishments in ancient Greece were situated (A) in city centers (B) on the outskirts of cities (C) where clay could be found (D) near other potters’ workshops 4. The word “marked” in line 7 is closest in meaning to

托福阅读主旨题的解题方法

新托福阅读主旨题是新托福阅读的一大难点,难就难在这种题目是多项选择且耗时较多。很多人做到这最后一道题时还要返回去看一遍全文,还没看完文章,页面已经变成了“时间到”的提示,托福的第一项便这样在慌乱中草草收场,以至于对后面的考试产生不利影响。 编者认为托福阅读主旨题的解法应该分为两步: 第一步:通读拉构架; 第二步:由4个判断选项标准解题。 一、如何以最快的速度拉出文章构架:即要在做所有题目之前快速跳读一遍文章。 通读文章的时候只需要读每段的首句、末句和转折句。一般抓住了首末句和转折句就抓住了一段的主旨。 读首末句的原因大家都很理解,为什么要读转折句呢?你看,一般首句说了什么,后面没有明显转折的话,通常就是两种情况:要么解释一下第一句的意思,要么就是顺着第一句往下说,最后再总结一下。这两种情况都是只读首末句就可以概括出段落大意。 可是如果中间出现了转折句,那么转折句后面的部分很可能和第一句说的不是一回事儿了,转折句就把文章一段分成了前后两层,转折句本身呢,通常就是第二层的首句了,也就是第二层意思的概括。 读每段的首末句和转折句的时候要做一下笔记,把每段的主旨意思用短句或关键词的形式记在草稿纸上。 记录是非常重要的!!!这样看似浪费时间,其实是节省时间的关键。因为只有做了笔记才能节省做题的时候回去看文章的时间,那时候回去找文章是十分痛苦的,尤其是人家让找的又是主要内容,这种东西又是没法定位的,要读的内容太多,一下子就慌了。 补充说明一下:只读首句末句和转折句,在大多数的情况下是可以找到段落主旨的。不排除一些特殊情况下此种方法不可行,但是首先托福阅读选的文章是很规整的,通常是大学课本里的文章,这些文章的逻辑性很强,结构严谨,所以用这种办法可行度很高。 对于一些更加繁琐的快速阅读的规则,其实很不实用,规则一多就记不住,平时都记不住考场上更用不上,而且那样很耗时间,要判断哪句该读哪句不该读,有这时间直接都读一遍算了。 二、判断选项的四个标准: 一对三错——段意对,细节错,与文意相反错,编造文中没有出现的东西错。下面一一解释: 1)段意对:

2019托福阅读考试真题(3)

2019托福阅读:模拟试题及答案解析(6) 【托福】 Although only 1 person in 20 in the Colonial period lived in a city, the cities had a disproportionate influence on the development of North America. They were at the cutting edge of social change. It was in the cities that the elements that can be associated with modern capitalism first appeared — the use of money and commercial paper in place of barter, open competition in place of social deference and hierarchy, with an attendant rise in social disorder, and the appearance of factories using coat or water power in place of independent craftspeople working with hand tools. "The cities predicted the future," wrote historian Gary. B. Nash, "even though they were but overgrown villages compared to the great urban centers of Europe, the Middle East and China." Except for Boston, whose population stabilized at about 16,000 in 1760, cities grew by exponential leaps through the eighteenth century. In the fifteen years prior to the outbreak of the War for independence in 1775, more than 200,000 immigrants arrived on North American shores. This meant that a population the size of Boston was arriving every year, and most of it flowed into the port cities in the Northeast. Philadelphia's population nearly doubted in those years, reaching about 30,000 in 1774, New York grew at almost the same rate, reaching about 25,000 by 1775. The quality of the hinterland dictated the pace of growth of the cities. The land surrounding Boston had always been poor farm country, and by the mid-eighteenth century it

月份托福阅读真题及答案

2005年11月份托福阅读真题及答案 Questions 1-10 As Philadelphia grew from a small town into a city in the first half of the eighteenth century, it became an increasingly important marketing center for a vast and growing agricultural hinterland. Market days saw the crowded city even more crowded, as line fanners from within a radius of 24 or more kilometers brought their sheep, cows, pigs, vegetables, cider, and other products for direct sale to the townspeople. The High Street Market was continuously enlarged throughout the period until 1736, when it reached from Front Street to Third. By 1745 New Market was opened on Second Street between Pine and Cedar. The next year the Callowhill Market began operation. Along with market days, the institution of twice-yearly fairs persisted in Philadelphia even after similar trading days had been discontinued in other colonial cities. The fairs provided a means of bringing handmade goods from outlying places to would-be buyers in the city. Linens and stockings from Germantown, for example, were popular items. Auctions were another popular form of occasional trade. Because of the competition, retail merchants opposed these as well as the fairs. Although governmental attempts to eradicate fairs and auctions were less than successful, the ordinary course of economic development was on the merchants' side, as increasing business specialization became the order of the day. Export merchants became differentiated from their importing counterparts, and specialty shops began to appear in addition to general stores selling a variety of goods. One of the reasons Philadelphia's merchants generally prospered was because the surrounding area was undergoing tremendous economic and demographic growth. They did their business, after all, in the capital city of the province. Not only did they cater to the governor and his circle, but citizens from all over the colony came to the capital for legislative sessions of the assembly and council and the meetings of the courts of justice. 1. What does the passage mainly discuss? (A) Philadelphia's agriculture importance

They continue to look for better ways to increase egg production and to improve chick survival rates. When parrots incubate their eggs in the wild, the temperature and humidity of the nest are controlled naturally. Heat is transferred from the bird's skin to the top portion of the eggshell, leaving the sides and bottom of the egg at a cooler temperature. This temperature gradient may be vital to successful hatching. Nest construction can contribute to this temperature gradient. Nests of loosely arranged sticks, rocks, or dirt are cooler in temperature at the bottom where the egg contacts the nesting material. Such nests also act as humidity regulators by allowing rain to drain into the bottom sections of the nest so that the eggs are not in direct contact with the water. As the water that collects in the bottom of the nest evaporates, the water vapor rises and is heated by the incubating bird, which adds significant humidity to the incubation environment. In artificial incubation programs, aviculturists remove eggs from the nests of parrots and incubate them under laboratory conditions. Most commercial incubators heat the eggs fairly evenly from top to bottom, thus ignoring the bird's method of natural incubation, and perhaps reducing the viability and survivability of the hatching chicks. When incubators are not used, aviculturists sometimes suspend wooden boxes outdoors to use as nests in which to place eggs. In areas where weather can become cold after eggs are laid, it is very important to maintain a deep foundation of nesting material to act as insulator against the cold bottom of the box. If eggs rest against the wooden bottom in extremely cold weather conditions, they can become chilled to a point where the embryo can no longer survive. Similarly, these boxes should be protected from direct sunlight to avoid high temperatures that are also fatal to the growing embryo. Nesting material should be added in sufficient amounts to avoid both extreme temperature situations mentioned above and assure that the eggs have a soft, secure place to rest. 1. What is the main idea of the passage ? (A) Nesting material varies according to the parrots' environment. (B) Humidity is an important factor in incubating parrots' eggs. (C) Aviculturists have constructed the ideal nest box for parrots. (D) Wild parrots' nests provide information useful for artificial incubation. 2. The word "They" in line 2 refers to

老托福阅读真题及答案:passage11

老托福阅读真题及答案:PASSAGE 11 Plants are subject to attack and infection by a remarkable variety of symbiotic species and have evolved a diverse array of mechanisms designed to frustrate the potential colonists. These can be divided into preformed or passive defense mechanisms and inducible or active systems. Passive plant defense comprises physical and chemical barriers that prevent entry of pathogens, such as bacteria, or render tissues unpalatable or toxic to the invader. The external surfaces of plants, in addition to being covered by an epidermis and a waxy cuticle, often carry spiky hairs known as trichomes, which either prevent feeding by insects or may even puncture and kill insect larvae. Other trichomes are sticky and glandular and effectively trap and immobilize insects. If the physical barriers of the plant are breached, then preformed chemicals may inhibit or kill the intruder, and plant tissues contain a diverse array of toxic or potentially toxic substances, such as resins, tannins, glycosides, and alkaloids, many of which are highly effective deterrents to insects that feed on plants. The success of the Colorado beetle in infesting potatoes, for example, seems to be correlated with its high tolerance to alkaloids that normally repel potential pests. Other possible chemical defenses, while not directly toxic to the parasite, may inhibit some essential step in the establishment of a parasitic relationship. For example, glycoproteins in plant cell walls may inactivate enzymes that degrade cell walls. These enzymes are often produced by bacteria and fungi. Active plant defense mechanisms are comparable to the immune system of vertebrate animals, although the cellular and molecular bases are fundamentally different. Both, however, are triggered in reaction to intrusion, implying that the host has some means of recognizing the presence of a foreign organism. The most dramatic example of an inducible plant defense reaction is the hypersensitive response. In the hypersensitive response, cells undergo rapid necrosis — that is, they become diseased and die — after being penetrated by a parasite; the parasite itself subsequently ceases to grow and is therefore restricted to one or a few cells

老托福阅读真题及答案:PASSAGE 19

老托福阅读真题及答案:PASSAGE 19 The principal difference between urban growth in Europe and in the North American colonies was the slow evolution of cities in the former and their rapid growth in the latter. In Europe they grew over a period of centuries from town economies to their present urban structure. In North America, they started as wilderness communities and developed to mature urbanism in little more than a century. In the early colonial days in North America, small cities sprang up along the Atlantic Coastline, mostly in what are now New England and Middle Atlantic states in the United States and in the lower Saint Lawrence valley in Canada. This was natural because these areas were nearest to England and France, particularly England, from which most capital goods (assets such as equipment) and many consumer goods were imported. Merchandising establishments were, accordingly, advantageously located in port cities from which goods could be readily distributed to interior settlements. Here, too, were the favored locations for processing raw materials prior to export. Boston, Philadelphia, New York, Montreal, and other cities flourished, and, as the colonies grew, these cities increased in importance. This was less true in the colonial South, where life centered around large farms, known as plantations, rather than around towns, as was the case in the areas further north along the Atlantic coastline. The local isolation and the economic self-sufficiency of the plantations were antagonistic to the development of the towns. The plantations maintained their independence because they were located on navigable streams and each had a wharf accessible to the small shipping of that day. In fact, one of the strongest factors in the selection of plantation land was the desire to have its front on a water highway. When the United States became an independent nation in 1776, it did not have a single city as large as 50,000 inhabitants, but by 1820 it had a city of more than 10,000 people, and by 1880 it had recorded a city of over one million. It was not until after 1823, after the mechanization of the spinning had weaving industries,
