托福阅读细节题答题讲解

 　　新TOEFL考试中很多考生最容易忽略的就是托福阅读，因为绝大部分人会感觉阅读是自己的强项。然而不少这样的考生，自认阅读不错，实际考出来的分数只有22分左右，这相当于把挣分的压力转移到了大部分人比较弱的听力、口语、写作上面。由此可见，托福 阅读取得高分对于获得百分以上的TOEFL成绩是一种保证!

　　托福阅读细节题其实不难，但前提是定位的点要对，比如下面这个例题：

　　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.

　　这是一个典型的细节题，在该题题干中，有的考生会选择Puget Sound作为关键词回原文定位，因为它是专有名词，在文中会比较显眼。但是如果一旦选择了这个地名，势必会定位在该段的第一句话，托福阅读细节题往往是定位在哪句就在哪句找答案，这样的话考生是选不出正确答案的，因为定位不精确。其实正确的关键词应该是white-tailed deer，这个用连字符连接的词在文章中也是比较醒目的，按该词定位应是该段最后一句话。所以根据它的意思应该选D项。其中A项与原句意思不符，B和C都与定位句信息无关。我们再来看另外一个否定事实细节题的例子：

　　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

　　托福 阅读细节题其实不难，但前提是定位的点要对，希望考生可以结合自己的实际情况，学会如何定位托福阅读细节题中的关键。希望同学们通过阅读，对托福成绩提升有一定的帮助。小编祝大家都能取得好成绩！

 

托福阅读细节题答题讲解的延伸阅读——托福阅读一次通过秘诀

 

　　1 ，快速阅读：

　　平时进行大量的快速阅读。

　　可选的阅读材料有：时间，“新闻周刊”，经济学家，中国日报，21世纪等。

　　因为托福考试与时代紧密相连，具有一定的时效性，所以报刊文章为泛读的首选。阅读报刊文章应选择一般性的题材，如科普，社会问题，学术观点性的文章，而政治，军事，尖端科技的文章可以略过。采取的阅读方式为快速阅读。

　　2 ，难句突破：

　　在精读和做托福试题时，将复杂的难句摘抄出来，然后分析句子结构，彻底消化难点。虽然托福阅读中不可能有原句重现，但是难句的结构是基本不变的。

　　3 ，词汇强记：

　　词汇量不够，应进行词汇突击。托福考试的词汇量约为6000~8000词。词汇量小也是导致阅读理解速度慢的重要因素。

　　4 总结技巧：

注意分析阅读理解的套路，总结解题技巧。如果个人复习情况不佳，可以根据自己的实际情况选择合适的辅导班。
