【高分技巧】解读托福阅读解题4个常见错误解题思路方法
托福阅读错误解题思路:选择题用排除法就完事了
这种错误思路其实是很多同学面对选择题这种题型时都会有的想法,而且不止局限于托福阅读甚至托福考试,但凡考试中有了选择题可能就会有人想到要用排除法。实际上在小编看来排除法并不是做选择题非用不可的技巧,比如托福阅读中一些细节题和词汇题,本身难度较低也需要太多复杂的思考判断,考生无需排除很可能就直接能找到正确选项,用了排除法反而会让原本单纯的解题思路变得复杂化,或是额外消耗不必要的时间来进行逐个排除。
因此,面对选择题,在没有把握直接找到正确选项的情况下大家的确可以求助于排除法来解题,但如果是难度较低一眼就能看到正确答案,或者考生本身对答案很有自信的话,不用排除法也是完全可行的。单纯拘泥于固定做题思路反而是缺乏答题自信的表现。
托福阅读错误解题思路:不看标题直接看文章
托福阅读的一个特点是每篇文章都会给出一个标题,而在不少同学看来,这个标题就是装装样子的,直接忽略读正文就可以了。这也是普遍存在于托福考生甚至部分老师心中的一种错误观点。其实做为出题者,ETS不可能给出一个完全没有作用的标题。标题的存在就是用来提示考生文章主题和话题类别的。仔细看一下标题,有经验的考生不仅能够了解到之后的文章会说什么,甚至连文章可能出现的论述结构和大体内容都能猜个八九不离十。标题的提示作用,考生如果直接无视其实是很可惜的。
同时,标题也能够帮助考生调整之后阅读正文时的心态。大家都知道托福阅读的文章题材类型众多,其中有些话题可能考生不感兴趣,有些则会让大家特别有兴趣去了解。这个对话题的感兴趣程度因人而异,也会影响大家读文章时候的仔细和投入度。而通过对标题的阅读,考生能够提前知晓之后文章的话题内容,如果是感兴趣的话题自然最好不过,而不感兴趣的话题大家也能提前调整好心态,至少保证自己能够以相对认真投入的态度去阅读理解文章内容。从这一层面上来说,不看标题也是颇为不妥的做法。
托福阅读错误解题思路:对付词汇题只能靠词汇量
一说到托福阅读词汇题,可能很多同学都会下意识地认为这就是个无脑考察大家托福词汇量的题型,换句话说,词汇题中题目和选项的词汇看得懂就能做,看不懂就只能干瞪眼瞎猜。这种想法是非常武断的。从题型考点上来看,托福阅读词汇题考察的考点并不只是词汇量,还有大家对词汇结构的分析能力以及结合词汇所在上下文进行含义推理的能力。这3重考点加在一起才构成了词汇题真正的考察目标。
因此,同样是词汇题,难度较低的题目大家具备一定的基础词汇量就能解答,而难度较高的词汇题,其中出现的词汇则很有可能并不在常规的托福考生要求掌握的词汇表当中,需要考生结合推理分析能力和对词汇结构比如前后词缀词根的认识才能较好的搞清其含义进行解题。如果大家觉得做不好词汇题就是自己词汇量不够,也不去开动脑筋思考和学习如何在不认识生词的情况下解答词汇题,那其实才是真正偷懒和不负责任的做法。
托福阅读错误解题思路:最后一题到最后再做
大家都知道托福阅读每篇文章的最后一题都是压轴大题,无论难度还是分值都很高,因此也有不少同学会产生把最后一题留到最后再做的解题思路。而按照当今主流的边看文章边做题的阅读解题模式,这种做法似乎也是非常自然的。然而在小编看来,考生如果想要保证最后一题的正确率,以及提升阅读部分的整体答题速度,那么最后一题就不能留到最后再处理。
应对这道压轴难题,小编建议大家不妨先去读一下题目,了解这道题目到底考的是什么。一般来说,最后一题多为总结题,常见的是6选3或是7选5的题目要求,而且提问对象一般都是文章整体,比如各个段落的叙述内容,或者文章的论述结构等等。因此,提前了解好这道题目的要求,之后带着问题去边读文章边做前面的题目,在这个过程中大家也会下意识地去寻找最后一题的线索和答案。等到了要做这道题的时候,其实考生就已经一定程度上掌握好了解题这道题的思路,也就完全可以避免专门为了这道题再重新看一遍文章所花费的时间精力了。而只有这么做,考生才算是真正做到了读一遍文章就能做完所有题目的高效解题模式,阅读部分的整体节奏和耗时才能更好地贴近考试的时间安排。
总而言之,托福阅读部分解题的确可以通过不少技巧来提升效率和正确率,但考生也需要对那些存在漏洞或是本身即为错误理解所产生的解题思路加以避免才行。上文中提到的这些托福阅读的错误解题思路和方法,希望大家能够引起警惕并且尽早发现和纠正,以确保托福阅读高效解题目标的顺利达成。
托福阅读句子插入题的一个本质和一个原则
在托福阅读备考的过程中,除了对单词,长难句分析以及学术背景进行补充之外,10种托福阅读的基本题型也是大家准备的重点。毕竟就像去医院治病一样,能对症下药,当然会起到更好的效果。句子插入题本来属于10种题型中比较简单的类型,但是在对众多学生的课程教授过程之中,笔者发现,句子插入题的一个本质和一个原则往往被大家忽略,导致失分很多,希望大家引起重视。
PART1:一个本质---插入句是一句“可有可无”的话。
本题的出题位置大家比较清楚,一般处于倒数第二题的位置,并且用来出题的段落是大家应该在前面的题目中已经见到过,而之前的题目和文章既然大家理解起来没有出现大的障碍,就说明插入进来的句子是----一句可有可无的话。这就要从两个方面来理解了。
○何为“可有”?
既然插入句能放进原文中去,就说明它和原文是有一定关系的,所以叫“可有”,这也就意味着,插入句的部分含义是在原文中有所重复的。所以我们的重点是回到文中找那部分被重复的句意。例如:
█Watt's steam engine soon showed what it could do. █It liberated industry from dependence on running water. █The engine eliminated water in the mines by driving efficient pumps, which made possible deeper and deeper mining. █The ready availability of coal inspired William Murdoch during the 1790s to develop the first new form of nighttime illumination to be discovered in a millennium and a half. Coal gas rivaled smoky oil lamps and flickering candles, and early in the new century, well-to-do Londoners grew accustomed to gaslit houses and even streets. Iron manufacturers, which had starved for fuel while depending on charcoal, also benefited from ever-increasing supplies of coal: blast furnaces with steam-powered bellows turned out more iron and steel for the new machinery. Steam became the motive force of the Industrial Revolution as coal and iron ore were the raw materials.
(TPO6-Powering the Industrial Revolution)
Look at the four squares [█] that indicate where the following sentence could be added to the passage.
The factories did not have to go to the streams when power could come to the factories.
Where would the sentence best fit?
在上题中,“liberated industry from dependence on running water”和 “The factories did not have to go to the streams”句意便发生了重合。所以我们可以确定,文中第二句话的前后应该是我们可以选择的范围。
○何为“可无”?
这个便是经常被大家忽略的地方。既然这句话,可以省略,那么这个插入句究竟要符合什么特点呢?还是以上题为例,我们发现 “liberated industry from dependence on running water”和 “The factories did not have to go to the streams”句意发生了重合,那究竟应该把插入句放在第二个█还是第三个█呢?这时就需要分情况讨论了:
情况1:放在第二个█,也就是说我们认为插入句是和下文有关系,既然要符合“可无”这个本质,所以说插入句必须是对下文概括或者引出。
情况2:放在第三个█,也就是说我们认为插入句是和上文有关系,既然要符合“可无”这个本质,所以说插入句必须是对上文进一步解释。
综合以上两种情况,我们会发现,插入句要么总结引出下文,要么进一步解释上文。所以我们会发现,在插入题中,前一句的叙述范围应该总比后一句大。
根据上述内容,也就引出了我们需要注意的一个非常重要的做题原则:
PART2:一个原则
在插入题中,句子的叙述顺序遵循从大到小,从抽象到具体的原则。找到重复的句意后,按照大小顺序安置插入句的位置。
在上题中,“liberated industry from dependence on running water”的意思是解放了工厂对水流的依赖。 “The factories did not have to go to the streams”的意思是工厂不用去往河流的位置。显然前者说的更概括和抽象,后者更具体,所以按照从大到小的顺序,应该选择第二个█。
PART3:实践练习
Trade between the West and the settled and prosperous Chinese dynasties introduced new forms and different technologies. One of the most far-reaching examples is the impact of the fine ninth-century AD. Chinese porcelain wares imported into the Arab world. █So admired were these pieces that they encouraged the development of earthenware made in imitation of porcelain and instigated research into the method of their manufacture. █From the Middle East the Chinese acquired a blue pigment—a purified form of cobalt oxide unobtainable at that time in China—that contained only a low level of manganese. Cobalt ores found in China have a high manganese content, which produces a more muted blue-gray color. █In the seventeenth century, the trading activities of the Dutch East India Company resulted in vast quantities of decorated Chinese porcelain being brought to Europe, which stimulated and influenced the work of a wide variety of wares, notably Delft. █The Chinese themselves adapted many specific vessel forms from the West, such as bottles with long spouts, and designed a range of decorative patterns especially for the European market.
(TPO10-Chinese Pottery)
Look at the four squares [█]that indicate where the following sentence could be added to the passage.
Foreign trade was also responsible for certain innovations in coloring.
Where could the sentence best fit?
在上题中,我们发现,插入句的“certain innovations in coloring”与原文中的“the Chinese acquired a blue pigment”句意进行了重复,显然,插入句说的更概括,范围更大,所以根据从大到小的原则,应该选择第二个■。
托福阅读背景文章:斯内普教授离世
Just days after the music world lost icon David Bowie, Hollywood is mourning the loss of another legend. Alan Rickman, best known for his roles as Hans Gruber in Die Hard and Severus Snape in the Harry Potter movies, has passed away at the age of 69. The Guardian reports that the actor had been battling cancer, and that he died "surrounded by family and friends."
音乐巨星大卫·鲍威去世没几天,好莱坞又痛失另一位传奇人物。曾在《虎胆龙威》中饰演汉斯·格鲁伯、在《哈利波特》系列中出演西弗勒斯·斯内普的阿伦·瑞克曼,在与癌症抗争的过程中去世,享年69岁。《卫报》称,瑞克曼“在家人和朋友的陪伴下离世”。
After a number of minor roles in British TV shows, Alan Rickman made his feature film debut in the 1988 action classic Die Hard. He went on to star as Sheriff of Nottingham in Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves, along with roles in Bob Roberts, Sense and Sensibility and Dogma before he took on the role in Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone.
瑞克曼起先在英剧中出演过一些小角色,1988年才首次触电大荧幕,参演经典动作片《虎胆龙威》。后来他又演过《侠盗王子罗宾汉》中诺丁汉郡长一角,并陆续出演了《天生赢家》、《理智与情感》、《天条》和《哈利波特与魔法石》等影片。
After studying graphic design at Graphic Design at Chelsea College of Art, he moved on to graduate studies at the Royal College of Art. Eventually, his love for theater lead him to audition for the prestigious Royal Academy of Dramatic Art (RADA), where he received a scholarship at the age of 26, which spawned an acting career that lasted more than 40 years, including numerous critically-acclaimed performances on the stage as well as film and TV work.
瑞克曼大学读的是切尔西艺术学院的平面设计专业,后来又继续在英国皇家艺术学院读了研究生。最终,因为对戏剧的热爱,他参加了著名的皇家戏剧艺术学院的面试,并在26岁时收获了奖学金。他40多年的演艺生涯也从此开始:不仅演过颇受好评的舞台剧,还频频出现在电影和电视中。
