一.学会归纳
在托福阅读考试中,如果考生想要提升答题实力,就一定要学会归纳,在阅读每一个段落的时候,要注意总结相应段落的段落大意,这样做一方面有助于我们了解整篇文章的主要脉络,增强对整篇文章中主要信息的了解能力,另一方面也可以帮助我们应对托福阅读归纳题,在短时间内选出正确的答案。比如,当考生在回答TPO4PASSAGE2中的Upper Paleolithic cave paintings in Western Europe are among humanity’s earliest artistic efforts.
A.Researchers have proposed several different explanations for the fact that animals were the most common subjects in the cave paintings. B.The art of the cultural period that followed the Upper Paleolithic ceased to portray large game animals and focused instead on the kinds of animals that people of that period preferred to hunt. C.Some researchers believe that the paintings found in France provide more explicit evidence of their symbolic significance than those found in Spain, southern Africa, and Australia. D.The cave paintings focus on portraying animals without also depicting the natural environments in which these animals are typically found. E.Some researchers have argued that the cave paintings mostly portrayed large animals that provided Upper Paleolithic people with meat and materials. F.Besides cave paintings, Upper Paleolithic people produced several other kinds of artwork, one of which has been thought to provide evidence of complex thought.的时候,如果考生已经对每段中的段落大意做了归纳,就可以很轻松的作对这个题目,A选项对应了整个第三段的主要信息,所以正确。B选项只和第四段的结尾句对应但是这是个细节,并不是这一段的段意,因此不选。C选项对应的是第四段的首句,但是这一段的段意是从第二句中体现出来的,所以不选。D选项和哪一段的段落大意都不符合。E选项和第四段的段意相符,正确。F选项和第五段的段意相符,正确。因此正确答案就是AEF。二.学会读文章
在托福阅读考试中,虽然一般情况下会包含三篇文章,每篇文章之后需要考生答的题目有11-13道左右,但是考生在做阅读题目的时候,不能凭空想象,根据自己的想法肆意的捏造相关的信息,一定要在理解了文章中主要大意的基础上,再去做题。因此,小编认为,考生一定要学会读文章。在阅读的过程中,对于那些明显的是用数据堆砌或者是有一个很明显的举例的地方就可以先适当的放过,重点阅读文章中每一个段落的首尾句和转折句,把握文章中的重点信息。
如果考生想要取得托福阅读高分,就一定要在掌握以上信息的基础上,多加练习,争取在考试中取得理想的成绩。
