在托福阅读考试备考过程中,考生们要把握好各类阅读题型的特点和解题技巧,才能取得满意的分数。下面,一诺留学小编就来为大家实例解析托福阅读考试细节题和指代题的题型特点和解题技巧,仅供同学们参考。
细节题 Factual Information questions
细节题是托福考试当中题量最大的一种题型,主要是对原文的事实信息进行提问来考察学生的信息检索能力和阅读能力,并且所有的选项都会出现原文的信息来对考生进行干扰。例如:
The muscles of these fishes and the mechanism that maintains a warm body temperature are also highly efficient. A bluefin tuna in water of 7°C (45°F) can maintain a core temperature of over 25°C (77°F). This warm body temperature may help not only the muscles to work better, but also the brain and the eyes. The billfishes have gone one step further. They have evolved special "heaters" of modified muscle tissue that warm the eyes and brain, maintaining peak performance of these critical organs.
10. According to paragraph 9, which of the following is true of bluefin tunas?
○Their eyes and brain are more efficient than those of any other fish.
○Their body temperature can change greatly depending on the water temperature.
○They can swim in waters that are much colder than their own bodies.
○They have special muscle tissue that warms their eyes and brain.
做细节题的第一步就是“定位”,要找到原文答案所在的区间。题干中问到“bluefin tunas”,我们回到原文,找到定位句:…A bluefin tuna in water of 7°C (45°F) can maintain a core temperature of over 25°C (77°F)…,即蓝鳍金枪鱼可以在低于自己体温(25°C)的水温(7°C)中生活,所以正确答案选择第三个。而其它干扰选项在原文均有出现,但是并不属于题干所问内容。
指代题 Reference questions
指代题在托福考试中题量大约为0-2个,主要考察学生能否找到原文中代词的指代对象。解决指代题最基本的原则为:单复数与人称一致,前指且符合句意。
It has been suggested that Pakicetus fed on fish in shallow water and was not yet adapted for life in the open ocean. It probably bred and gave birth on land.
5. The word it in the passage refers to
·Pakicetus
·Fish
·○Life
·ocean
本句代词作主语,在结构上指代上一句话主句中的名词主语,即A选项的Pakicetus。也可以采用带入的方法,将选项逐一带入,符合搭配的只有A选项,其余选项,B fish 鱼类,C life 生命,D ocean海洋,都无法“bred and gave birth,哺育后代”。
