托福阅读直接信息题实例解析分享

1、托福阅读直接信息题实例解析分享 托福阅读直接信息题又叫事实信息题，顾名思义考察的是考生对阅读文章中直接给出的事实信息的理解能力，下面就和大家分享托福阅读直接信息题实例解析 ,希望能够帮助到大家，快来学习一下吧。 一般能来说，托福阅读直接信息题的解题需要遵循三步：1.从题干中找到定位关键词 2.通过定位关键词找到对应原文，得出原文答案 3.将四个选项跟原文答案进行对照，看哪个选项是对原文答案的同义改写。这个过程中最重要的主要有两种能力：关键词定位与同义改写。 首先我们来看看“定位关键词”。，按照“识别度高低”排序可以有如下这些帮助我们回到原文定位的关键词： (1) 数字、大写、符号(引号、破折号

2、、连字符、斜体.) (2) 名词(以具体名词为主、抽象名词为辅，因为前者更不容易被改写) (3) 比较级、最高级 (4) 动词、形容词、副词 在关键词定位的过程中我们要对题干中诸如when、where 、how 、why等特殊疑问词敏感，这些单词可以帮我们更好地判断题目的考查方向，让我们知道最终要找到什么。另外文章标题词不可作为定位关键词，因为高频词没有定位价值。 关于Step 2“原文答案”，这是指的是如果题目没有四个选项、只有题干的话，这道题就类似一道简答题，那么这个“原文答案”就是该简答题的答案。最后关于Step 3“同义改写”，这也是托福考试最广泛考察的能力之一了，指同义词或近义词的替

3、换。 接下来我们运用这个三步走的策略来解答下面两道题： 例题1 Though it may be difficult to imagine from a later perspective, a strain of critical opinion in the 1920s predicted that sound film would be a technical novelty that would soon fade from sight, just as had many previous attempts, dating well back before the First Worl

4、d War, to link images with recorded sound. These critics were making a mon assumption-that the technological inadequacies of earlier efforts (poor synchronization, weak sound amplification, fragile sound recordings) would invariably our again. To be sure, their evaluation of the technical flaws in 1

5、920s sound experiments was not so far off the mark, yet they neglected to take into aount important new forces in the motion picture field that, in a sense, would not take no for an answer. Which of the following is true about the technical problems of early sound films? (A) Linking images with reco

6、rded sound was a larger obstacle than weak sound amplification or fragile sound recordings. (B) Sound films in the 1920s were unable to solve the technical flaws found in sound films before the First World War. (C) Technical inadequacies ourred less frequently in early sound films than critics sugge

7、sted. (D) Critics assumed that it would be impossible to overe the technical difficulties experienced with earlier sound films. 解析： Step1题干： 找出题干的定位关键词，是technical problems of early sound films。这段所有句子就是围绕early sound films展开的，所以early sound films没有定位价值，所以需要通过technical problems来定位;technical problems是抽象词

8、，一般会发生改写。 Step2原文： 我们发现原文中有两个短语都跟technical problems同义改写，分别是倒数第二句的technological inadequacies和倒数第一句的technical flaws。 Step3选项： 纵观四个选项，我们发现D选项跟倒数第二句同义改写，其中impossible to overe跟原文中would invariably our again是同义改写，technical difficulties跟题干关键词是同义改写。 例题2 Statues were normally made of stone, wood, or metal. St

9、one statues were worked from single rectangular blocks of material and retained the pactness of the original shape. The stone between the arms and the body and between the legs in standing figures or the legs and the seat in seated ones was not normally cut away. From a practical aspect this protect

10、ed the figures against breakage and psychologically gives the images a sense of strength and power, usually enhanced by a supporting back pillar. By contrast, wooden statues were carved from several pieces of wood that were pegged together to form the finished work, and metal statues were either mad

11、e by wrapping sheet metal around a wooden core or cast by the lost wax process. The arms could be held away from the body and carry separate items in their hands; there is no back pillar. The effect is altogether lighter and freer than that achieved in stone, but because both perform the same functi

12、on, formal wooden and metal statues still display frontality. Which of the following statements about wooden statues is true? (A) Wooden statues were usually larger than stone statues. (B) Wooden statues were made from a single piece of wood. (C) Wooden statues contained pieces of metal or stone att

13、ached to the front. (D) Wooden statues had a different effect on the viewer than stone statues. 解析： Step1题干： 找出题干的定位关键词，是wooden statues;这是具体名词，一般不会改写。 Step2原文：根据wooden statues定位至倒数第三句(以By contrast开头)，我们发现之后两句话也都是关于wooden statues的信息;那么原文答案就是最后三句话。 Step3选项： 纵观四个选项，我们发现D选项跟原文最后一句话but之前的信息同义改写，所以答案是D。 综

14、上所述，托福阅读直接信息题的解答策略并不复杂，主要涉及关键词定位和同义改写这两个基本能力的考察，只要把握好确定关键词、定位、同义改写的做题节奏，利用真题做好充分练习与反思，我们完全可以轻松hold住这一高频题型，顺利稳住托福阅读。 ETS在我们欢度五一小长期时，“肆无忌惮”的又放大招涨价(现价1761元)，除此之外，从今年一月份开始，考生各种反馈，听力和阅读在变难，TPO神马的已不能满足现在的备考需求，真的是这样吗? 其实从新的TPO40-48来看，无论阅读文章难度、长度和考试侧重点都发生很大变化。尤其是阅读方面，我归纳大致是以下三点： (1)文章难度方面：TPO1-37的段落偏短，在100字

15、左右，题目数量偏少，现在的段落一般在300字左右，一个段落中出现的大概3-5道题目，所以对大家来说，寻找题目答案的难度是有所提升的。 (2)文章题型方面：题型有所创新，TPO1-37为传统的十大题型，TPO40-48是新增加创新型题型，难度方面更加往SAT去靠拢;如TPO44阅读Q11，出现LEAST。 (3)答题技巧方面：TPO1-37都是规律性的解题技巧，TPO40-48需要在答题技巧以外需要更多的综合能力。 那么针对以上三大变化，我们又改如何应对呢?我觉得可以从四大方面入手准备，各个击破! 一、词汇，爱你没商量，永远是主旋律。说起词汇，大多学生反应是头疼，根本记不住，然而阅读词汇就只要大

16、致认识或是能推出文中词汇的大致方向就算过关，并且要以动词为主，因为动词决定句意和名词关系，而形容词和副词只是情感词，托福阅读一般来说又不考察作者的情感色彩，所以我们就要做到： 1. 找一本适合的词汇书，同时因为你词汇量比较小，而且背单词比较枯燥，需要联想记忆，包括故事，语音和词根词缀。 2. 同时也建议你在背单词书的同时，大量的精读托福阅读文章。因为我们获得单词是从两个方面获得的，一方面是机械地获得这个词汇，另一方面是阅读的文章中，在阅读中背单词是特别快，而且不容易忘记。所以建议两方面结合，个是背一本单词书;第二个是大量阅读新托福的文章，包括老的托福的文章也是特别有意义的文章，同时把里面的单词

17、全部都背下来是非常有利的。为什么这么强调单词呢?就在于新托福的阅读中有1/4的题目全部在于词汇上。 二、理清句子结构，获得句子主干。可以用下面句子自测：A series of mechanical improvements continuing well into the nieenth century, including the introduction of pedals to sustain tone or to soften it, the perfection of a metal frame and steel wire of the finest quality，finally

18、 produced an instrument capable of myriad tonal effects from the most delicate harmonies to an almost orchestral fullness of sound，from a liquid，singing tone to a sharp, percussive brilliance. (介词结构fromto作定语) 持续到19世纪的一系列机械上的改进，包括引入踏板以维持音调或使其柔和，改善金属框架，以及使用性能的钢丝，终产生了一种具备无数音调效果的乐器这些效果涵盖了从精致的和声到几乎全部的管弦乐

19、音响，从明快流畅的吟唱音调到尖锐的打击乐器的恢弘气氛。 分句1：A series of mechanical improvements continuing well into the nieenth century 分句2：including the introduction of pedals to sustain tone or to soften it 分句3：the perfection of a metal frame and steel wire of the finest quality 分句4：finally produced an instrument capable of

20、 myriad tonal effects 分句5：from the most delicate harmonies to an almost orchestral fullness of sound 分句6：from a liquid，singing tone to a sharp, percussive brilliance 本句真正的主句结构其实是由分句1和分句4构成，即A series of mechanical improvements continuing well into the nieenth century finally produced an instrument ca

21、pable of myriad tonal effects，分句2和分句3并列修饰说明分句1中的A series of mechanical improvements，而分句5和分句6并列，修饰说明了 分句4中的an instrument capable of myriad tonal effects。 三、必要的背景知识。很多同学读地质、天文类的文章简直就是雾里看花，水中望月，因为我们对板块的形成运动，太阳系及宇宙黑洞，又或者是火山地震和冰川的了解太少了，而这类文章的描述又特别细致，所以建议同学们看看Discovery或是学习自然科学，熟悉词汇，对常见的自然现象做深入了解。 四、科学的做题方

22、法和练习。当万事俱备时，就是我们刷题之时。刷题并不意味着一味的做题，要掌握每种题型的做题方法，保证思考方向的正确性。其次就是计时练习，如果做题没有紧张感，一是造成阅读速度一直无法提高，二是考试的时候紧张有可能做不完题或是读文章不走心，需要重复读，浪费时间，还容易出错，所以必须严格控制答题时间。 Others have blamed extinction on petition from the mammals, which allegedly ate all the dinosaur eggs-except that mammals and dinosaurs appeared at the same time in the Late Triassic, about 190 million years ago, and there is no reason to believe that mammals suddenly acquired a taste for dinosaur eggs after 120 million years of coe
