托福考试,在阅读当中,精读和泛读都是非常重要的。很多同学做了很多TPO,但是并没有及时的总结和精读,这就会存在问题,不知道自己的问题在哪。读一篇文章十遍,胜过读十篇文章。在托福考试中,应该如何精读呢?来看一个精读的范例:
1、词:用一个专门的word文档整理出你文章中不认识的单词并记忆;
我发现学习习惯好的同学,在我讲题目时就细化把不认识的单词写下来。
2、句:用上面的word文档整理出这篇文章中你读不懂的句子,这是长难句的理解,提高你阅读速度很重要的一点;
还有记得看我的托福阅读要你命100句!绝对是TPO当中最难的句子!
3、段:概括出这个段落大意。这是练习6选3很重要的一点。
4、正确选项:分析正确选项为什么对,你要想明白,在原文中画出答案的依据,在比较选项,体会ETS是如何改写原文的;
5、错误选项:分析错误选项为什么错,你要想明白,并在word文档中标注选项错误的地方。很重要,想不明白,大家可以来问我。
知其然,知其所以然,知其所以不然。
精读范例:如何分析正确选项和错误选项
Paragraph 4 It seems likely that Teotihuacán’s natural resources, along with the city elite’s ability to recognize their potential, gave the city a competitive edge over its neighbors. The valley, like many other places in Mexican and Guatemalan highlands, was rich in obsidian. The hard volcanic stone was a resource that had been in great demand for many years, at least since the rise of the Olmecs (a people who flourished between 1200 and 400 B.C.), and itapparently had a secure market. Moreover, recent research on obsidian tools found at Olmec sites has shown that some of theobsidian obtained by the Olmecs originated near Teotihuacán. Teotihuacán obsidian must have been recognized as a valuable commodity for many centuries before the great city arose.
9. Which of the following allowed Teotihuacánto have “a competitive edge over its neighbors”?
○ A well-exploited and readily available commodity.
○ The presence of a highly stable elite class.
○ Knowledge derived directly from the Olmecs about the art of toolmaking.
○ Scarce natural resourcesin nearby areas such as those located in what are now the Guatemalan and Mexican highlands.
首先理解A选项和原文是同义改写,再分析错误选项为什么错。
这个题的正确选项就非常的隐晦,我们知道ETS要考原文某句话,很少照抄这句话。
原文:Teotihuacán’s natural resources, along with the city elite’sability to recognize their potential.
答案:A well-exploited and readily available commodity.
A well-exploited对应于the city elite’sability to recognize their potential.
readily available对应于natural resources以及第二句解释的was rich in obsidian.
commodity在最后一句Teotihuacán obsidian must have been recognized as a valuable commodity.
再来看错误选项为什么错。
○ The presence of a highly stable elite class.
出自这句话(和答案在同一句):Teotihuacán’s natural resources, along with the city elite’s ability to recognize their potential,但是大家可以发现并未提到a highly stable.
○ Knowledge derived directly from the Olmecs about the art of toolmaking.
出自这句话:Moreover, recent research on obsidian tools found at Olmec sites has shown that some of the obsidian obtained by the Olmecs originated near Teotihuacán.
能够选到这个选项的同学是十分神奇的,甚至是神经的。原文有提到tools但并未提到the art of toolmaking.
○ Scarce natural resourcesin nearby areas such as those located in what are now the Guatemalan and Mexican highlands.
出自这句话:The valley, like many other places in Mexican and Guatemalan highlands, was rich in obsidian. 和原文相反,因为原文说was rich in obsidian.
