如何有效的提高託福閱讀成績

在考託福閱讀的時候先讀完全文再做題?這是沒有必要的;那麼是不讀文章直接看題目，然後回到原文當中來尋找對應點麼?其實也不對。因爲很多人對於原文的理解達不到考試的要求。

對於託福口語和託福寫作兩項表現不佳的國內學生來說，託福的閱讀和聽力如果不拿到27分以上話，想拿到託福100分是真的很有難度的。

在考託福閱讀的時候先讀完全文再做題?這是沒有必要的;那麼是不讀文章，直接看題目，然後回到原文當中來尋找對應點麼?其實這樣也不對。因爲很多人對於原文的理解達不到考試的要求。對於託福閱讀來說，最好的方式，就是讀一段做幾個題，然後發現涉及到第二段的內容的時候，再開始讀第二段，當讀完第二段的時候，再回頭來做幾個題，而且做每道題的時候，都一定要回到原文當中，來對照原文才能進行選擇，而不是根據記憶來進行選擇。

不過這並不意味着，我們不需要很仔細的理解原文。恰恰相反，託福閱讀的重中之重，就是對於原文的理解，不過很可惜的是，很多托福考友，要麼沉浸於大量做題無法自拔，要麼沉迷於技巧，希望技巧解決一切。事實上，單詞量是閱讀的基礎，在達到足夠詞彙量的前提後，通過對照翻譯的練習，對正文進行深層次的細緻理解，明確文章背後隱藏的實際含義，同時通過加大習題量提升自己的做題及閱讀速度，三管齊下，方能切實地提高閱讀成績

那麼單詞可以解決一切麼?應該也不會，但是但此時解決一切的開始。當我們把單詞這一關過了之後，就可以進入今天所想討論的範圍了，就是細緻性的理解。

當我們說到理解的時候，很多考友總是在說，我理解了，但是就是做不對題。簡單來說，這是不可能的事情，因爲托福考試考的就是你的理解，如果你理解了，但是做不對題，那麼只有2種可能，1 你單純的是因爲做題少，不理解托福考試的思路，但是者最多也就是能讓你1篇文章錯2-3道出了單詞題之外的其他題目，而且其他2篇文章最多錯1道題。如果多於此的話，那就很有可能是第2種可能，也就是並沒有真正的理解。當然，還有第3種可能，也就是查單詞之前，沒理解，查單詞之後才理解了。

其實簡單來說，如果做了5套TPO閱讀之後，仍然不能讓自己穩定在27分以上的話，那麼其實就是在理解上有問題了。那麼，理解，到底要理解到什麼層面呢?今天稍微翻譯一段，你體會一下。

原文：A symbiotic relationship is an interaction between two or more species in which one species lives in or on another species. There are three main types of symbiotic relationships: parasitism, commensalism, and mutualism. The first and the third can be key factors in the structure of a biological community; that is, all the populations of organisms living together and potentially interacting in a particular area.

文學化翻譯版：共生是物種之間的一種交互作用，其中一個物種必須依賴另外一個物種以生存。共生關係共有三種類型：寄生、共棲和互惠共生。其中第一種和第三種是一個生物羣落構成的關鍵要素。所謂生物羣落，指的是在某個特定區域內，所有生物體共同生存並且相互影響。

細緻理解版(括號內爲講解)：共生關係其實是2種，或者2種以上的物種的一種互相作用(也就是2個，或者多個生物需要基情的生活在一起)，在這樣一種共生關係之中，其中的一種生物必須住在另外一種生物的體內或者體表。主要有3種共生關係：大P，大C，和大M( 也不懂他們之間的差別是什麼-_-~~~~)。第一個(大P)和第三個(大M)是這樣一種生物學羣體結構之中的最關鍵的(也就是大P和大M是生物羣體之中最爲常見的，這也就是說大C出現的是最少的，最不着老爺和太太待見的);這也就是說，所有生物體都住在一起，而且很有可能在一個特定的區域生活在一起(哦!原來這句話是在解釋biological community生物羣落，到底是什麼意思的)。

到細緻理解版這個層面，這個理解纔算是到位的，纔是可以做對題目的，前面的文學化翻譯版翻譯的都對，但是你總是隱隱約約的感覺缺少一點什麼。而我們如果想在閱讀裏面取得高分的話，就一定要達到細緻理解版這個層面才行。單詞不認識怎麼破?繼續背單詞!閱讀速度慢怎麼破?做題多了之後，速度自然就快了。時間來不及了怎麼破?

想要取得託福閱讀高分必備的三種能力

想在託福閱讀中取得好的成績，多閱讀背景知識文章，可以瞭解背景知識，可藉此機會熟悉學科常用詞彙。

想要取得託福閱讀的高分總的來講需要這三種能力：信息定位能力、速讀理解能力、研讀整理能力。在平時要多注意閱讀自然科學、人文科學、藝術、商務等學科的文章，練習鍛鍊這三種能力。

想在託福閱讀中取得好的成績，那麼你要了解託福閱讀考試機制。在託福閱讀中，一般選材會涉及自然科學(天文、地質、生物學等)、人文和社會科學(文學、歷史、人類學、社會學等)以及藝術和商務等學科領域。多閱讀這些文章，一方面可以瞭解相關的常識和背景知識，同時可藉此機會熟悉不同學科的常用詞彙。

一、信息定位能力

練習快速掃描，在文章或段落中定位並查找重要的事實和信息，包括主題信息、概念名稱、日期、地點和數字等。經常反覆地練習，可以提高閱讀的速度和流利程度。

二、速讀理解能力

[1] 在掌握語法知識(如：語句結構、代詞等)以後，應採用各種手段，努力擴大詞彙量，掃除閱讀中存在的生字障礙。

[2] 練習速讀，訓練通過快速瀏覽而非逐句細讀發現文章主旨的能力。託福閱讀考試的選材，從文體角度看，大多是說明體和議論體的正式書面語文章。其語篇模式一般爲導言、主題、支撐、結論四部分，並且每一段落的開頭常可發現主題句。

根據英語語篇的上述特點，閱讀時注意文章的首尾段落以及每一段落的開始一、二句話，常有助於迅速發現所讀內容的主旨。同時，注意語篇中一些具有語義提示作用的信息詞和短語(見漫談六)，對於重要信息的快速查找和定位也是有幫助的。

[3] 還可以根據托福考試的題型有針對性地進行一些練習，包括就文章中出現的代詞(he， they， that， these， it， one， others等)，找出它們所指代的名詞;根據文章提供的信息，練習推理、預測和歸納結論的能力;選擇閱讀中遇到的生字，根據前後語句所提供的上下文線索猜測字義，例如：

Everyone faces times when one goal or another has to come first; deciding which goals are most important is setting priorities.(根據語句結構，劃線單字的意義由is提示是指the most important goals)

A skyscraper， or building more than twenty stories high， is built on a foundation of concrete supported by piles driven into the ground.(句中or在這裏表示“或者說”，提示劃線單字的意義爲building more than twenty stories high)

Unlike her gregarious sister， Jane is a shy， unsociable person who does not like to go to parties or to make new friends. (從Unlike所表示的對照關係，可以確定劃線單字的意義正是shy， unsociable的反面，即sociable， friendly)

In spite of the fact that the beautiful egret is in danger of dying out completely， many clothing manufacturers still offer handsome prices for their long， elegant tail feathers， which are used as decorations on ladies’ hats.(從全句的意思，特別是描述其特徵的feathers等詞，可判斷劃線單字是指a type of bird)

三、研讀整理能力

[1] 訓練閱讀除需要培養理解文章含義和增強查找信息的能力外，還應適當注意所讀材料的組織結構及寫作手法，例如：該文章的組織方式可能是比較對照、分類、因果等，某個例子在闡述過程中有何作用。這有助於理解把握文章內涵和歸納概括內容提要。

[2] 練習概括提要，區分主要與次要內容。對於描述過程的文章，可練習按順序總結步驟，寫出提要。若文章涉及信息分類，可嘗試製作圖表並將相關內容分類排列。雖然新托福考試並不要求自己設計分類圖表，但這項練習有助於加強信息整理的意識，可以幫助考生更快適應此類題型。見下例：

Scholars’ opinion about why L. cave dwellers hid their art(學者關於L.洞居民爲何藏匿其藝術發表的觀點) Reasons to substantiate this opinion (證實此觀點的理由) Reasons to disprove this opinion

(反證此觀點的理由)

[3] 根據提要或圖表對閱讀內容進行口頭或書面的總結概述，以配合口語和寫作部分綜合型考題的需要。

[4] 選取句子或段落練習釋義解述(paraphrase)。一方面，閱讀測試包含考查對解述語句的辨識能力;此外，在口語和寫作部分的綜合型考題中也需要運用此項技能。

託福閱讀真題練習1

The principal difference between urban growth in Europe and in the North American colonies was the slow evolution of cities in the former and their rapid growth in the latter. In Europe they grew over a period of centuries from town economies to their present urban structure. In North America, they started as wilderness communities and developed to mature urbanism in little more than a century.

In the early colonial days in North America, small cities sprang up along the Atlantic Coastline, mostly in what are now New England and Middle Atlantic states in the United States and in the lower Saint Lawrence valley in Canada. This was natural because these areas were nearest to England and France, particularly England, from which most capital goods (assets such as equipment) and many consumer goods were imported. Merchandising establishments were, accordingly, advantageously located in port cities from which goods could be readily distributed to interior settlements. Here, too, were the favored locations for processing raw materials prior to export. Boston, Philadelphia, New York, Montreal, and other cities flourished, and, as the colonies grew, these cities increased in importance.

This was less true in the colonial South, where life centered around large farms, known as plantations, rather than around towns, as was the case in the areas further north along the Atlantic coastline. The local isolation and the economic self-sufficiency of the plantations were antagonistic to the development of the towns. The plantations maintained their independence because they were located on navigable streams and each had a wharf accessible to the small shipping of that day. In fact, one of the strongest factors in the selection of plantation land was the desire to have its front on a water highway.

When the United States became an independent nation in 1776, it did not have a single city as large as 50,000 inhabitants, but by 1820 it had a city of more than 10,000 people, and by 1880 it had recorded a city of over one million. It was not until after 1823, after the mechanization of the spinning had weaving industries, that cities started drawing young people away from farms.

Such migration was particularly rapid following the Civil War (1861-1865).

PASSAGE 20

(25)

In seventeenth-century colonial North America, all day-to-day cooking was done in the fireplace. Generally large, fireplaces were planned for cooking as well as for warmth. Those in the Northeast were usually four or five feet high, and in the South, they were often high enough for a person to walk into. A heavy timber called the mantel tree was used as a lintel to support the stonework above the fireplace opening. This timber might be scorched occasionally, but it was far enough in front of the rising column of heat to be safe from catching fire.

Two ledges were built across from each other on the inside of the chimney. On these rested the ends of a lug pole from which pots were suspended when cooking. Wood from a freshly cut tree was used for the lug pole, so it would resist heat, but it had to be replaced frequently because it dried out and charred, and was thus weakened. Sometimes the pole broke and the dinner fell into the fire. When iron became easier to obtain, it was used instead of wood for lug poles, and later fireplaces had pivoting metal rods to hang pots from.

Beside the fireplace and built as part of it was the oven. It was made like a small, secondary fireplace with a flue leading into the main chimney to draw out smoke. Sometimes the door of the oven faced the room, but most ovens were built with the opening facing into the fireplace. On baking days (usually once or twice a week) a roaring fire of oven wood, consisting of brown maple sticks, was maintained in the oven until its walls were extremely hot. The embers were later removed, bread dough was put into the oven, and the oven was sealed shut until the bread was fully baked.

Not all baking was done in a big oven, however. Also used was an iron bake kettle, which looked like a stewpot on legs and which had an iron lid. This is said to have worked well when it was placed in the fireplace, surrounded by glowing wood embers, with more embers piled on its lid.

1. Which of the following aspects of domestic life in colonial North America does the passage

mainly discuss?

(A) methods of baking bread

(B) fireplace cooking

(D) the types of wood used in preparing meals

2. The author mentions the fireplaces built in the South to illustrate

(A) how the materials used were similar to the materials used in northeastern fireplaces

(B) that they served diverse functions

(D) how they were safer than northeastern fireplaces

3. The word scorched in line 6 is closest in meaning to

(A) burned

(B) cut

(D) bent

4. The word it in line 6 refers to

(A) the stonework

(B) the fireplace opening

(D) the rising column of heat

5. According to the passage , how was food usually cooked in a pot in the seventeenth century?

(A) By placing the pot directly into the fire

(B) By putting the pot in the oven

(D) By hanging the pot on a pole over the fire

6. The word obtain in line 12 is closest in meaning to

(A) maintain

(B) reinforce

(D) acquire

7. Which of the following is mentioned in paragraph 2 as a disadvantage of using a wooden lug

pole?

(A) It was made of wood not readily available.

(B) It was difficult to move or rotate.

(D) It became too hot to touch.

9. According to paragraph 3, all of the following were true of a colonial oven EXCEPT:

(A) It was used to heat the kitchen every day.

(B) It was built as part of the main fireplace.

(D) It was heated with maple sticks.
