托福阅读考试中,对于细节题,大家在备考的时候也要掌握相应的技巧。今天我们重点来讲解的是,细节题中常见的提问方式。这些内容也有助于大家更好地备考这类题型。详细内容如下:
在学习托福阅读细节题的解题思路之前,我们首先要了解细节题对于考生的能力考查到底在哪里。
托福阅读细节题两种常见提问方式实例讲解
托福阅读细节题从提问方式上主要可以分为两类,第一类难度较高,要求考生对问题的所有选项都进行返回原文查找的步骤从而得出正确答案。
Asia is the largest land mass on Earth. It contains one-third of the world’s land. Much of the land is uninhabited. But Asia holds more than 60% of the world’s people. It has 48 different countries, including China and India. They are the most populous countries in the world. Asia is also the birthplace of the world’s five major religions. They are Hinduism, Buddhism, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam.
Which of the following is true of Asia?
A. It is the largest continent on Earth.
B. One-third of the world’s population lives there.
C. It takes up 60% of the world’s land mass
D. It is the home of 48 different religions.
可以看到这道题目本身并没有给出任何解题线索和关键词,考生需要把四个选项逐一返回原文核对查找以后,才能得出正确答案。这类题目之所以难度较高,就是因为它会消耗大家比较多的时间,本身考试时间不足答题节奏落后于原定进度的同学面对这类题目很容易因为心浮气躁,想要加速又加不了而出现错误。而且这类题目有个特点,那就是哪怕选项A就是正确选项,考生也会忍不住再去把其它选项也逐一核对确认一下再做出选择,这其实就是利用了考生患得患失的解题心理。以上题为例,A选项It is the largest continent on Earth.和文章第一句Asia is the largest land mass on Earth.其实就是一个意思,但哪怕考生心中已经比较有把握,也还是需要再看完其它选项才行。这样的题目相当消耗时间,大家如果遇到请务必注意时间分配方面的问题。
第二类细节题难度就比较低了,这类题目会给出明确的提示性线索和关键词,考生根据关键词直接返回原文就能找到对应题目的正确答案,在较短时间内就能做完。
A routine vaudeville show usually began with a silly act, such as acrobats or trick bicyclists. This allow audience members to arrive late and find their seats. The show peaked in the middle with the “headliner”. This act was usually the best in the show. The show would conclude with a “chaser” act. This act was considered good enough to feature but dull enough to make audiences leave the theater.
According to paragraph 2, why did a vaudeville show usually start off with a silly act?
A. Because the audience needed time to arrive and find their seats.
B. Because the audience preferred to begin with silly acts.
C. Because silly acts got the audience ready for serious ones.
D. Because that was the only type of act the theater owner could find.
这道题目不仅给出了关键词线索a silly act,而直接给出了对应内容所在的段落位置,对于考生来说定位返回就变得相当简单了,考生只要带着问题读一下原文,找到答案以后再从选项中寻找出相应的内容就可以顺利解题。比如上面这道题问的是威慑呢么杂耍表演开场都要先来个silly act?考生从原文第二句This allow audience members to arrive late and find their seats.就可以直接找到答案,甚至不用读完整段内容就能获得自己需要的信息,接下来看到选项A也正好符合要求,那么答案一下子就能确定出来,整个解题过程不会超过30秒。
托福阅读细节题不会定位怎么办
提及定位,恐怕所有的同学都会说定位非常简单。但是,是不是所有同学都可以准确定位,并且高效地完成阅读中的细节题呢?其实不然,我们来看以下这道出自TPO16套的细节题:
According to paragraph 2, how did Middle Eastern shop owners treat their workers?
有的同学一看到这个题目,第一反应就是用Middle Eastern shop
owners去原文定位,很快可以找到本段的第二句话:Production was generally in the hands of skilled individual artisans doing piecework under the tutelage of a master who was also the shop owner.但是,当我们读过这句话之后,发现它并没有回答前面的问题,于是我们开始纠结。在将这句话反反复复看了好几遍却仍然找不到答案之后,我们才开始继续往下看。有些同学甚至为了寻找答案干脆将整段看一遍。但是,如果大家一开始在定位的时候,用的是shop owner, treat,和workers来定位,大家就很容易就知道这道题是在问shop
owner和workers之间的关系,在读原文第二句话时很快就能发现这句话并没有提到任何与关系相关的单词。于是往下寻找和关系有关的词或者句子。我们很快便会看到后面有一个In these shops differences of rank were blurred,也就是说在这些shop里等级区别模糊了。这不正是说明了owner和worker之间的这种等级关系么?因此,不难确定,这句话才是我们要找的答案。
托福阅读细节题纠结选项怎么办
对于这些同学,老师提醒大家,你们需要谨记的就是“符合原文”四个大字。
例如TPO2中的一道题,假定通过定位我们已经找到了原文中答案所在的句子:the presence of a fluke1 and blowhole2 cannot disguise their affinities with land dwelling mammals.这道题对应有两个选项:
A It clearly indicates that cetaceans are mammals.
B It cannot conceal the fact that cetaceans are mammals.
这时爱纠结的同学们又开始纠结了,两个都说cetaceans是mammals,怎么选?亲爱的同学们,你们首先要搞清楚原文到底说的是什么,是说“暗示”还是说“不能掩盖”?如果是说暗示,那就选a,因为a选项清楚的有一个indicate,如果是说不能掩盖,那就选b,因为b选项中有一个cannot conceal。
托福阅读细节题单词量少怎么办
单词量少是一个困扰绝大多数考生的问题。对于备考托福的同学来说,攻克单词这个难题,只有一个方法-背!在备考期间大家需要大量地背单词。但是,即使我们很努力的去背了单词,依然会在做题的时候碰到一些我们不认识的单词。这个时候,很多同学就会慌了手脚,不知道怎么办才好。其实,一篇文章对我们造成困难的,不是那些人名、地名和专有名词,而是构成我们要理解的这句话的基本结构。因此,如果碰到一句很长的话,里面有一些生单词,大家不要慌张。只要把这句话的结构弄清楚,你就能读懂这句话的大致意思了。这样,所谓的单词也就不再是你的拦路虎了。我们来看一个TPO1里的句子:
Immediately adjacent to the timberline, the tundra consists of a fairly complete cover of low-lying shrubs, herbs, and grasses, while higher up the number and diversity of species decrease until there is much bare ground with occasional mosses and lichens and some prostrate cushion plants.
虽然这句话中生僻的词比较多,但是如果我们能够找出句子的主干,那么这句话就会容易很多。整句的主干结构是这样的:adjacent to timberline, the tundra consists of shrubs and grasses and so on, while rise up, the species and diversities will decrease.
同学们只要能读出来这句话的核心意思是“靠近林木线的土地上到处覆盖着灌木和草,而海拔高度提高的时候,物种减少直到出现大片的荒地”,我们就能够理解这个句子。但是理解的前提是,你必须平时要好好的背单词,如果连一些很简单的单词,例如blur,stimulate都不认识,那么建议大家还是在背单词上多下点功夫吧!
