託福閱讀如何更快的拿高分
爲了幫助大家備考託福。提高閱讀成績，打有準備的仗，下面小編給大家帶來託福閱讀如何更快的拿高分，希望大家喜歡。
託福閱讀如何更快的拿高分
方法一：快速泛讀(fastextensivereading)
這裏講的泛讀是指廣泛閱讀大量涉及不同領域的文章，要求讀得快，理解和掌握文中的主要內容就可以。要確定一個明確的閱讀定額，定額要結合自己的實際，可多可少，例如每天讀20頁。
方法二：計時閱讀(timedreading)
計時閱讀每次進行5～10分鐘即可，不宜太長。因爲計時快速閱讀，精力高度集中，時間一長，容易疲勞，精力分散反而乏味。
方法三：尋讀(Scanning)
尋讀又稱查讀，同略讀一樣，尋讀也是一種快速閱讀技巧。
尋讀是一種從大量的資料中迅速查找某一項具體事實或某一項特定信息，如人物、事件、時間、地點、數字等，而對其它無關部分略去不讀的快速閱讀方法。
方法四：略讀(skimming)
略讀又稱跳讀(readingandskipping)或瀏覽(glancing)，是一種專門的，非常實用的快速閱讀技能。
略讀有下列幾個特點：
A.以極快的速度閱讀文章，尋找字面上或事實上的主要信息和少量的闡述信息。
B.可以跳過某個部分或某些部分不讀。
C.理解水平可以稍低一些，但也不能太低。
託福閱讀練習：獨生子女更幸福
常規想來，都會覺得童年幸福的人性格更加的活躍開朗，未來的人生道路也能順利坦然，然而一個驚人的發現雷倒衆人：童年幸福長大更容易離婚。
Those who enjoyed an idyllic childhood could find that life has a nasty trick in store because, it seems, they are more likely to divorce.
那些享受過幸福童年的人們或許在將來會發現，兒時的快樂在不經意間卻埋下了日後導致婚姻破裂的禍根。
Researchers found that men and women with a stable upbringing could have more confidence and so be more ready to leave a failing relationship.
研究者們發現，那些成長過程一帆風順的人羣們對於個人也有更多的自信，對於一段發展不順的感情關係也傾向於抽身離開。
For the long-term project at Cambridge University, thousands of Britons born in one week in 1946 were studied.
有一項英國劍橋大學的長期調查，研究了在1946年同一週所出生的英國人。
When they were in their teens, teachers rated them for happiness, friendliness and energy. Problems such as restlessness, disobedience and anxiety were noted.
他們在少年時期被認爲是幸福、有愛並充滿活力的孩子，不過也會出現按燥不安、忤逆不順與焦躁心煩等情況。
Decades later, information about their lives was also collected and analysed. Professor Felicia Huppert, director of the university’s Well-being Institute, commented on the findings on marriage break-up.
數十載後，研究者們再度對這批人的生活信息進行了收集與分析。該項目的主要負責人指出了造成該批人羣婚姻破裂的緣由。
‘One factor might be that positive children have higher self-esteem than their peers and are more willing to leave a marriage if it is not meeting their needs,’ she said.
“其中的一個因素是這些積極的孩子通常都有更高的自尊，以至於當他們發現婚禮以無法滿足他們的需求時便更加遠離結束這段關係。”
Other findings were more predictable.
託福閱讀練習：性格決定外表
光鮮亮麗的外表並非人人都能擁有，但“相由心生”，性格好的人往往能看起來更有魅力，爲什麼呢?來看看今天的閱讀材料。
If you exhibit positive traits such as honesty and helpfulness, the chances are that you will be perceived as a good looking person, for a new study has found that the perception of physical attractiveness is influenced by a person's personality.
The study, led by Gary W. Lewandowski, Jr, found that people who exhibit negative traits, such as unfairness and rudeness, appear to be less physically attractive to observers.
In the study, the participants viewed photographs of opposite-sex individuals and rated them for attractiveness before and after being provided with information on personality traits.
After personality information was received, participants also rated the desirability of each individual as a friend and as a dating partner.
Information on personality was found to significantly alter perceived desirability, showing that cognitive processes modify judgments of attractiveness.
"Perceiving a person as having a desirable personality makes the person more suitable in general as a close relationship partner of any kind," said Lewandowski.
The findings show that a positive personality leads to greater desirability as a friend, which leads to greater desirability as a romantic partner and, ultimately, to being viewed as more physically attractive.
The findings remained consistent regardless of how "attractive" the individual was initially perceived to be, or of the participants' current relationship status or commitment level with a partner.
What would you think of this lady's physical attractiveness if she exhibited bad personal traits?
"This research provides a more positive alternative by reminding people that personality goes a long way toward determining your attractiveness; it can even change people's impressions of how good looking you are," said Lewandowski.
如果你表現出誠實和樂於助人等美好品質，那麼別人會覺得你的外表也很迷人。一項最新研究發現，一個人的性格會影響別人對他或她的外表吸引力的看法。
該項由蓋裏 W 勒萬多維斯基負責的研究發現，人們認爲，表現出不誠實和粗魯等惡劣品質的人外表也不夠吸引人。
研究對象首先觀看了一組異性的照片，隨後分別在得知照片中人物的性格特點之前和之後給他們的外表評分。
研究對象在得知照片中人物的性格特點後，還對與其中每個人交朋友或做戀人的期望值進行了評分。
研?a href="">咳嗽狽⑾鄭泄厝宋鐨願裉氐愕男畔⒋蟠蟾謀淞酥暗南埠枚繞婪鄭芯慷韻蟮娜現談謀淞慫嵌哉掌腥宋鎄獗淼鈉蘭邸?/p>
勒萬多維斯基說：“總的來說，如果人們認爲一個人的性格較好，那麼他們會覺得無論與這個人做朋友還是做戀人都更合適。”
研究結果表明，人們更期望與性格較好的人交朋友、成爲戀人，從而會認爲他們的外表更迷人。
無論照片中人物給人的“第一印象”怎樣、或者研究對象目前的情感關係狀況以及與伴侶的親密程度如何，研究結果都是一致的。
勒萬多維斯基說：“該研究提出了一個更爲積極的觀點，它提醒人們，性格在很大程度上能決定你的吸引力;性格甚至能夠改變人們對於你外表的印象。”
託福閱讀考察的深意
原文：
M: Do you know what time the train goes the city?
W: Normally it’s every 20 minutes. But it’s weekend, so I’m not sure.
選項：
(A) Listen to the traffic report on the radio
(B) Take a later train.
(C) Ron to catch the next train.
(D) Check the weekend schedule.
很顯然這裏的正確答案爲D，因爲原問題到了週末時間表與周1-5不同，因此，最好的選擇方案是看一下週末的時間表，去找一下準確的時間。
很顯然這裏W並沒有直接的告訴我們要去查詢時間表，而是告訴我們週末的時間不確定，因此我們發現了她實際上是在暗示我們要Check the weekend schedule。這就是典型的另有深意。
新託福閱讀也繼承了老託福聽力的光榮傳統:P，也開始爲我們大張旗鼓的玩起了另有深意這樣的事情。這一點尤其在新託福TPO裏面體現得尤爲明顯。
當然還是拿真實例子說話，首先看一下新託福真題TPO1裏面的一段。
Groundwater is the word used to describe water that saturates the ground, filling all the available spaces. By far the most abundant type of groundwater is meteoric water; this is the groundwater that circulates as part of the water cycle. Ordinary meteoric water is water that has soaked into the ground from the surface, from precipitation (rain and snow) and from lakes and streams. There it remains, sometimes for long periods, before emerging at the surface again. At first thought it seems incredible that there can be enough space in the “solid” ground underfoot to hold all this water.
題目：
Which of the following can be inferred from paragraph 1 about the ground that we walk on?
A It cannot hold rainwater for long periods of time.
B It prevents most groundwater from circulating.
C It has the capacity to store large amounts of water.
D It absorbs most of the water it contains from rivers.
很顯然原文At first thought it seems incredible that there can be enough space in the “solid” ground underfoot to hold all this water. 爲我們提到很難想象，在如此“堅實”的地下，會有足夠的空間來盛如此之多的水，這裏就很隱晦的告訴我們其實地下並不“堅實”，而是還有很多的空間，來盛放groundwater，因此我們得到的正確答案就是C選項，也就是原來我們行走的這片土地之下還有足夠的能力來承載如此之多的水。
很顯然，這裏也是很隱晦的告訴我們地下空間其實是很大的。
下面這道題也是一樣。
The same thing happens to this day, though on a smaller scale, wherever a sediment-laden river or stream emerges from a mountain valley onto relatively flat land, dropping its load as the current slows: the water usually spreads out fanwise, depositing the sediment in the form of a smooth, fan-shaped slope. Sediments are also dropped where a river slows on entering a lake or the sea, the deposited sediments are on a lake floor or the seafloor at first, but will be located inland at some future date, when the sea level falls or the land rises; such beds are sometimes thousands of meters thick.
All of the following are mentioned in paragraph 3 as places that sediment-laden rivers can deposit their sediments EXCEPT
A A mountain valley
B Flat land
C A lake floor
D The seafloor
本題問的是到底哪裏沒有沉積呢?
dropping its load as the current slows: the water usually spreads out fanwise, depositing the sediment in the form of a smooth, fan-shaped slope. 告訴我們，只有在流速緩慢的地點纔會沉積。但是他不直接告訴我們具體在什麼地點，而是讓我們去用邏輯推理。
因此當我們尋找的時候，發現Flat land“平緩之地”毫無疑問是流速緩慢的，這樣的地方不會沉積，然後再告訴我們a river slows on entering a lake or the sea，湖和海洋，也是流速緩慢的地點，自然也不會沉積。那麼唯一會沉積的地方也就只有上游mountain valley纔會沉積，因爲河流流經的地點分別是from a mountain valley onto relatively flat land，以及a river slows on entering a lake or the sea。
自然當我們排出了Flat land、a lake以及the sea之後，也就只可能剩下mountain valley了。
