13、去看整段啊,或者有学生讲我看懂了哎,但题目就是没做对啊!其实我们在浏览一个段落时要学会使用方法,是什么方法能够帮助我们快速浏览呢?要读懂一个段落我们只需要捉住几个关键词罢了。那么关键词怎么抓呢?一是看逻辑信号词;二是读句子的时候一定牢记只看主干!下面我们就以托福TPO25中的文章TheDeclineofVenetianShipping为例,讲讲怎样巧抓关键词。TPO25-2TheDeclineofVenetianShipping:Paragraph2ThisdeclinecanbeseenclearlyinthechangesthataffectedVenetianshippingandtra

16、inuousappealtoVenicstraditionofmaritimegreatness.EventhoughsailorswagesdoubledamongthenorthernItaliancitiesfrom1550to1590,thisdidnotelicitanincreasedsupply.以上算得上是托福浏览中较长的段落了,在快速浏览这个段落的时候我们要找的关键词是:逻辑信号词如段落中所标示的first,but,this我们不难发现这些信号词所在的句子基本都是解题的信息点。那么在做题定位时不妨多加留意。当然,捉住这些关键词并不难,难在理解。接下来我们就来看看理解这些句子时
17、的关键词。每段话的首句是必定要读的。ThisdeclinecanbeseenclearlyinthechangesthataffectedVenetianshippingandtrade。这是包含了一个定语从句的复杂句。先看到核心词changes,再看到Venetianshippingandtrade。这篇文章接下来详细要写的内容就展露无遗,也就是威尼斯船业和贸易的变迁。First,这当然是开场写shipping的标志了。VenicesintermediaryfunctionsintheAdriaticSea,whereithaddominatedthebusinessofshippingfo
18、rotherparties,werelosttodirecttrading.我们一直强调句子要读主干,那么简单地看这个句子就是Venicesfunctionswerelost,核心词很显然是lost,也对应了整篇文章的主题decline.接下来两句写到了15和16世纪碰到的船员难招的问题。therewaslittleproblemrecruitingsailorstorowthegalleys(largeshipspropelledbyoars):guilds(businessassociations)wererequiredtoproviderowers,andthroughadraftsy
19、stemfreecitizensservedcompulsorilywhencalledfor.这句话中有冒号的出现,浏览冒号之前的内容therewaslittleproblem;到下一句:theshortageofrowerswasnotseriousbecausethedemandforgalleyswaslimitedbyamovetoroundships(round-hulledshipswithmorecargospace),withrequiredfewerrowers.这句中要看到的核心是notserious;再往后看到But.tobeagreaterandgreaterprob
20、lem.到这里意思应该已经一目了然了,就是讲威尼斯船业在招聘船员方面所遭遇的变迁:littleproblemnotseriousgreaterproblem.刚刚我们讲了文章浏览部分要抓关键词,其实我们在浏览题目和选项时也是需要寻找关键词的。有些题目的选项是比拟长的,四个选项看上去也差不多一段话了,所以一定要捉住关键词判定才行,如否认词、比拟词和并列词。这些是快速阅读选项的第一步。再次也要看到题干和每个选项中能让我们快速定位到原文的关键词。我们还是以托福TPO25为例:TPO25-1TheSurfaceofMarsParagraph5AsontheMoon,theextentoflargeim
21、pactcratering(i.e.craterstoobigtohavebeenfilledinbyerosionsincetheywereformed)servesasanageindicatorfortheMartiansurface.AgeestimatesrangingfromfourbillionyearsforMarsssouthernhighlandstoafewhundredmillionyearsintheyoungestvolcanicareaswereobtainedinthisway。Accordingtoparagraph5,whathavescientistsbe
22、enabletodeterminefromstudiesoflargeimpactcrateringonMars?A.SomeMartianvolcanoesaremucholderthanwasoncethought。B.TheageofMarsssurfacecanvaryfromareatoarea。C.Largeimpactcratersarenotreliableindicatorsofageinareaswithhighvolcanicactivity。D.SomeareasoftheMartiansurfaceappeartobeolderthantheyactuallyare。
23、划出选项中的关键词后,定位到原文迅速阅读发现原文中并无如A和D选项中的比拟,C中的否认词not和原文是明显相矛盾的,故而选择B,而B选项对应的恰好是本段末句:AgeestimatesrangingfromfourbillionyearsforMarsssouthernhighlandstoafewhundredmillionyearsintheyoungestvolcanicareaswereobtainedinthisway。根据以上分析,我们应该明白在浏览之时何为关键词。简单地讲有定位关键词和判定关键词。定位关键词包括题干及选项中的名词,还有就是段落中那些一直向你示好的逻辑信号词了,不要忘
24、记用它们找到你解题需要的信息。判定关键词是选项中那些有特色的词汇,包括否认词,比拟词或者是句子主干中的动词等,根据这些词和原文进行对应,至少有一半的选项能够迅速被排除。托福浏览怎么提高?一、概括地观察在练习时我们会读一些文章或者段子,首先我们能够进行略读。对于文章的首段或者每段的内容进行概括,我们就能够知道这些文章都讲了些什么,而不是去通读,逐字去读,逐词去读,这样不浪费时间,而且对于本人的浏览能力的提升也是微乎其微的。二、学会来引导浏览当你在读托福浏览文章的时候,能够为文章的标题、副题、图片及首句设定问题,能够把它们写在各本人的位置,这样你在看问题的时候,就能够帮助你更明晰的了解文章的内容了
25、。三、学会做标记假如在托福浏览的时候,我们假如碰到了所答问题关键词或者短语,我们要将它标记下来,并且要将它们积累起来。由于假如这里考到了,讲明之后可以能会考到,这些关键记号和短语就是我们平常练习时需要的积累的知识,不但在之后做浏览题或许会用得到,在托福考试的其它学科可能也是会用得到的。四、要学会提问题在浏览的时候,考生要学会提问题,在浏览完一个段落之后,能够在每段的句首位置写出一个问题,当你看到这个问题的就会想到这个段落讲的是什么意思。这样不让本人的对段落有了清楚的认识,还能做到很的归纳总结的作用。五、学会举一反三在托福浏览的整个学习经过中,考生要学会类推,也就是在你完全把握了文章内容之后,对于文章中出现的一些问题,我们能够把它联络到日常的生活当中,假如在生活当中我们会怎么样,利用这样的联带的关系,考生能够愈加的对浏览文章时行融汇贯穿,大在的提高本人的浏览兴趣和能力。这也是托福浏览提高的一个很好的途径。老托福浏览真题及答案PASSAGE1
