  瀏覽在托福測驗中難度固然不是最大的,然則考生要想在這部門有一個不錯的成就,也須要考生支付對付凡人的盡力,在備考過程當中,懂得托福瀏覽測驗的題型和出題紀律是頗有需要的,除此以外,懂得托福瀏覽拿不到高分的兩個圈套然後有用躲避也能夠助力考生獲得托福瀏覽高分,下面為考生具體先容。

  【圈套一:細節題考核精肯定位】

  托福瀏覽中的細節題並不難,但條件是定位的點要對,比以下面這個例題:

  Two species of deer have been prevalent in the Puget Sound area of Washington State in the Pacific Northwest of the United States. The black-tailed deer, a lowland, west-side cousin of the mule deer of eastern Washington, is now the most common. The other species, the Columbian white-tailed deer, in earlier times was common in the open prairie country, it is now restricted to the low, marshy islands and flood plains along the lower Columbia River.

  According to paragraph 1, which of the following is true of the white-tailed deer of Puget Sound?

  A. It is native to lowlands and marshes.

  B. It is more closely related to the mule deer of eastern Washington than to other types of deer.

  C. It has replaced the black-tailed deer in the open prairie.

  D. It no longer lives in a particular type of habitat that it once occupied.

  這是一個典範的細節題,在該題題幹中,有的考生會選取Puget Sound作為癥結詞回原訂婚位,由於它是專著名詞,在文中會比擬顯眼。然則假如一旦選取了這個地名,必將會定位在該段的第一句話,托福細節題每每是定位在哪句就在哪句找謎底,如許的話考生是選不出準確謎底的,由於定位不準確。實在準確的癥結詞應當是white-tailed deer,這個用連字符銜接的詞在文章中也是比擬醒目標,按該詞定位應是該段末了一句話。以是依據它的意思應當選D項。個中A項與原句意思不符,B和C都與定位句信息無關。咱們再來看另一個否認究竟細節題的例子:

  Plant communities assemble themselves flexibly, and their structure depends on the particular history of the area. Ecologists use the term “succession” to refer to the changes that happen in plant communities and ecosystems over time. The first community in a succession is called a pioneer community, while the long-lived community at the end of succession is called a climax community. Pioneer and successional plant communities are said to change over periods from 1 to 500 years. These changes—in plant numbers and the mix of species—are cumulative. Climax communities themselves change but over periods of time greater than about 500 years.

  According to paragraph 1, which of the following is NOT true of climax communities?

  A. They occur at the end of a succession.

  B. They last longer than any other type of community.

  C. The numbers of plants in them and the mix of species do not change

  D. They remain stable for at least 500 years at a time.

  這個題眾人都邑選取用climax communities去定位,但在定位過程當中會湧現許多題目。起首考生要學會跳躍式定位,即依據文章中特別的標點標記和最醒目標詞來搜刮咱們真正須要的癥結詞。文中的particular是加了暗影的,succession是在引號內裏的,都異常能幹,經由過程看這兩個詞咱們會發明它們鄰近沒有咱們須要的器械;再比擬凸起的便是數字及破折號,在500的上方有a climax community,但它是單數,與題幹癥結詞不完整立室,細節題講求的是精肯定位,以是咱們應當選取500斜下方的Climax communities,即該段的末了一句話。否認究竟細節題的出題思緒有兩種:一是無中生有,即依據定位點的內容,四個選項只有一個沒有提到,這類思緒多實用於選項比擬簡短的標題;二是張冠李戴,即依據定位點的內容表述,只有一個選項與之抵觸,這類思緒多順應於選項比擬長的標題。就這個例題而言,依據定位的末了一句話,從表述上來講跟它相幹的只有C和D兩個選項,D項的意思與原句符合,而C項與原句抵觸,以是準確謎底是C。綜上所述,做新托福瀏覽的細節題,最主要的一點便是要只管即便地去精肯定位。

  【圈套二:無偏向中隱蔽偏向】

  新托福瀏覽測驗中絕大部門標題都是對應詳細段落的,這會為考生節儉許多時光。然則也不消除有少許題目標規模比擬大或比擬隱約,考生在探求謎底時不免一頭霧水,費時辛苦。實在這些看似沒有明肯定位偏向的標題都是隱藏玄機的。下面咱們就來看一個例子:

  Wind power has a significant cost advantage over nuclear power and has become competitive with coal-fired power plants in many places. With new technological advances and mass production, projected cost declines should make wind power one of the world’s cheapest ways to produce electricity. In the long run, electricity from large wind farms in remote areas might be used to make hydrogen gas from water during periods when there is less than peak demand for electricity. The hydrogen gas could then be fed into a storage system and used to generate electricity when additional or backup power is needed.

  Wind power is most economical in areas with steady winds. In areas where the wind dies down, backup electricity from a utility company or from an energy storage system becomes necessary. Backup power could also be provided by linking wind farms with a solar cell, with conventional or pumped-storage hydropower, or with efficient natural-gas-burning turbines. Some drawbacks to wind farms include visual pollution and noise, although these can be overcome by improving their design and locating them in isolated areas.

  Based on the information in paragraph 3 and paragraph 4, what can be inferred about the states of North Dakota, South Dakota, and Texas mentioned at the end of paragraph 1?

  A.They rely largely on coal-fired power plants.

  B.They contain remote areas where the winds rarely die down.

  C.Over 1 percent of the electricity in these states is produced by wind farms.

  D.Wind farms in these states are being expanded to meet the power needs of the United States.

  這個題目標題幹觸及到三個段落,而究竟上考生基本不須要去看第一段的內容,由於謎底根據的是第三、四段的信息,然則這兩個段落假如都看的話內容也很多,從應試的角度來講太費時光。準確的做法應當是從選項中發掘一下偏向。A項裏眾人一樣平常都邑選取有連字符的coal-fired作為癥結詞去定位,B項沒有比擬顯眼的詞就只能選名詞短語remote areas,C項選1 percent,D項選the United States。選完癥結詞咱們不難發明除B項不大好定位之外,其他三個選項的癥結詞都很能幹。經由定位,A項應當去比對第3段的第一句話,意思顯著抵觸;B項欠好找,可以臨時跳過;C項和D項的癥結詞在這兩段都找不到,這就屬於新托福瀏覽中推理題的毛病謎底計劃辦法之一 ——無中生有。以是固然咱們沒有去驗證B項的說法是不是準確,但經由消除也只能選B了。如許的做題辦法就會省時省力,且謎底也是準確的。在測驗中,這類情形每每會影響考生的心境,進而影響程度的施展,然則只要咱們懂得了ETS出題的套路就可以把它們輕松搞定。

  以上信息經由過程實例為考生具體剖析了托福瀏覽拿不到高分的兩個圈套,願望考生能有所收成!發起考生在備考的時刻能錘煉本身掌控托福瀏覽時光的才能,多針對托福瀏覽真題舉行演習,總結一些應用的托福瀏覽資料和技能,末了,祝考生在接下來的托福瀏覽測驗中有精彩的施展。
