托福阅读做题要先整体的读一遍

~

在目前浩浩荡荡的托福大军中，大家都在纠结着一个问题：做托福阅读 文章 时，要不要先把文章整体读一遍?就这个问题而言，我们的“托儿”们不得不被倚天剑劈成两大帮派：读与不读。下面将会为大家解释为什么要在做托福阅读题目之前要先将文章整体阅读一遍。

托福阅读做题要先整体的读一遍

一、托福阅读考试界面的设置

参加过考试的或是用模考软件做过练习的“托儿”们都清晰的记得：当一篇托福阅读文章问题出现的之前，一定是先以整篇文章的形式出现的，左边并没有显示题目，只有将文章右边的滚动轴拉至最低端，界面才会自动转换为我们做题的界面，即左边是问题，右边是对应的文章。

那么，我们就分析一下为什么ETS有这样的设置?ETS有什么样的意图?ETS想让考生怎么做?这样的设置显而易见ETS是希望考生们可以在做题前将文章大致整体看一遍。就ETS出题的严谨性和科学性而言，这样的设置毋庸置疑是帮助考生提高其做题的速度和正确率的。

我们已经分析完出题人的意图，那么接下来就是要解答界面设置导致的整体阅读有哪些好处，如何帮助考生们答题，如何提高做题速度和正确率的。

二、整体阅读托福阅读文章对summary questions的帮助

对于托福阅读速度不高，英语水平中等或中等以下的“托儿”们普遍反映的一个问题就是：没有时间做最后的summary questions，或是做summary questions的时候不知道到哪里找答案或是正确率低。

我们先来分析一下summary questions，大家都知道这个题型出现在阅读文章的最后一道题，而且是对全文观点的 总结 。那么，既然是对于全篇文章观点的总结，那么它考察的内容是文章的分论点，即一段或是几段的主要内容。

如果是时间不够，考生要直接选，很容易选错，为什么?因为前面的12道题考察的基本上是文章的细节内容。我们都知道细节信息是summary questions的禁忌;所以，凭做题印象直接解题，那么就受前面解题思路的影响，很容易被误导。但如果这时你在做题之前对整篇文章有了一个整体的阅读，并在演草纸上做了大致的笔记，那么summary questions就可以轻而易举的攻破，为什么?怎么做?

首先，整体阅读不是逐字逐句，是scan文章，了解文章框架。

其次，在演草纸上简单快速的写下文章的主论点，若干个分论点(一段或是几段的主要内容)，即大纲。(没必要是完整的 句子 ，可以参照听力记笔记的 方法 ，符合，中英文结合的方法。)

这样，整体阅读的步骤结束后，在演草纸上就能出来一片文章的框架，并且这个框架大纲可以在最短时间能基本解决summary questions中80%。而且可以帮助考生轻松排除summary questions中的错误选项。

综上所述，做题前整体阅读托福阅读文章是极其必要的，希望这篇文章对大家解决托福阅读考试的问题上有所帮助。

托福阅读答题的时候可以看文章吗?

一些没参加过托福考试的同学可能不了解阅读考试的实际流程，比如，托福阅读答题的时候可以看文章吗?

托福阅读考试，大约3-4篇文章，每篇文章长度大约为700词，每篇文章包含10个问题。托福阅读考试过程中你可以返回上一题查看并修改答案。考试的界面上，文章在左边，题目在右边，所以解答过程中都可以查看文章。

托福阅读真题1

It is estimated that over 99 percent of all species that ever existed have become extinct. What causes extinction? When a species is no longer adapted to a changed environment, it may perish. The exact causes of a species' death vary from situation to situation. Rapid ecological change may render an environment hostile to a species. For example, temperatures may change and a species may not be able to adapt. Food resources may be affected by environmental changes, which will then cause problems for a species requiring these resources. Other species may become better adapted to an environment, resulting in competition and, ultimately, in the death of a species.

The fossil record reveals that extinction has occurred throughout the history of Earth. Recent analyses have also revealed that on some occasions many species became extinct at the same time — a mass extinction. One of the best-known examples of mass extinction occurred 65 million years ago with the demise of dinosaurs and many other forms of life. Perhaps the largest mass extinction was the one that occurred 225 million years ago, when approximately 95 percent of all species died, mass extinctions can be caused by a relatively rapid change in the environment and can be worsened by the close interrelationship of many species. If, for example, something were to happen to destroy much of the plankton in the oceans, then the oxygen content of Earth would drop, affection even organisms not living in the oceans. Such a change would probably lead to a mass extinction.

One interesting, and controversial, finding is that extinctions during the past 250 million years have tended to be more intense every 26 million years. This periodic extinction might be due to intersection of the Earth's orbit with a cloud of comets, but this theory is purely speculative. Some researchers have also speculated that extinction may often be random. That is, certain species may be eliminated and others may survive for no particular reason. A species' survival may have nothing to do with its ability or inability to adapt. If so, some of evolutionary history may reflect a sequence of essentially random events.

托福阅读真题2

Archaeological discoveries have led some scholars to believe that the first Mesopotamian inventors of writing may have been a people the later Babylonians called Subarians. According to tradition, they came from the north and moved into Uruk in the south. By about 3100 B.C., they were apparently subjugated in southern Mesopotamia by the Sumerians, whose name became synonymous with the region immediately north of the Persian Gulf, in the fertile lower valleys of the Tigris and Euphrates. Here the Sumerians were already well established by the year 3000 B.C. They had invented bronze, an alloy that could be cast in molds, out of which they made tools and weapons. They lived in cities, and they had begun to acquire and use capital. Perhaps most important, the Sumerians adapted writing (probably from the Subarians) into a flexible tool of communication.

Archaeologists have known about the Sumerians for over 150 years. Archaeologists working at Nineveh in northern Mesopotamia in the mid-nineteenth century found many inscribed clay tablets. Some they could decipher because the language was a Semitic one (Akkadian), on which scholars had already been working for a generation. But other tablets were inscribed in another language that was not Semitic and previously unknown. Because these inscriptions made reference to the king of Sumer and Akkad, a scholar suggested that the new language be called Sumerian.

But it was not until the 1890's that archaeologists excavating in city-states well to the south of Nineveh found many thousands of tablets inscribed in Sumerian only. Because the Akkadians thought of Sumerian as a classical language (as ancient Greek and Latin are considered today), they taught it to educated persons and they inscribed vocabulary, translation exercises, and other study aids on tablets. Working from known Akkadian to previously unknown Sumerian, scholars since the 1890's have learned how to read the Sumerian language moderately well. Vast quantities of tablets in Sumerian have been unearthed during the intervening years from numerous sites.

the

(A) Babylonians

(C) Akkadians

(D) Sumerians

2. The word subjugated in line 4 is closest in meaning to

(B) segregated

(C) concentrated

(D) conquered

3. The phrase synonymous with in line 5 is closest in meaning to

(A) equivalent to

(B) important for

(C) respected in

(D) familiar with

4. According to the passage , by the year 3000 B.C. the Sumerians had already done all of the

following EXCEPT:

(A) They had abandoned the area north of the Persian Gulf.

(B) They had established themselves in cities.

(C) They had started to communicate through

(D) They had created bronze tools and weapons.

5. The word some in line 14 refers to

(A) Archaeologists

(B) Sumerians

(C) years

(D) clay tablets

6. Which of the following can be inferred from the passage concerning the Sumerians?

(A) They were descendants of the Persians.

(B) They were the first people to cultivate the valley of the Tigris.

inscribed in Sumerian?

(A) in the early nineteenth century

(B) more than 150 years ago

蕲春县17086092320： 托福做阅读的时候是应该先通读全文还是先读题目直接在段落找答案? - ？
朝浦金固： 先做题.因为托福文章都是科技类文章,层次分明,做一道题只要看对应的一个段落就能做出来的.但如果是SAT或GRE文章就不同了,我习惯先看一遍文章再看题,当然也有人也是先看题再看文章.但是托福肯定是边答边看.朗阁回答希望可以帮到你

蕲春县17086092320： 托福阅读答题需不需要读全文 - ？
朝浦金固： 首先,托福阅读的时间限制需要考生快速阅读和答题很多托福考生都说,也许在托福阅读中,最影响人的实力发挥的恐怕就是要求考生平均20分钟读完一篇文章和回答之后的题目.托福阅读不同于CET4,CET6,与高考也是有区别的,因为这些...

蕲春县17086092320： 托福阅读可以先看完所有题再做吗 - ？
朝浦金固： 可以呀,阅读题可以continue也可以back,你可以随意前后看.不过记住不要丢题哦~而且要再规定时间内答完. 楼主考托加油啦!!

蕲春县17086092320： 托福阅读先读文章还是先做题? - ？
朝浦金固： 你好,如果你的时间不够,我建议你还是一边读文章一边做题,真实考试文章就在题目的右边,做到哪读到哪比较省时间. 我第一次考试是这么做的,当时能力不是很强,28分.第二次就直接读文章,然后做题,基本14分钟一篇,29分,差别不是很大,不过速度快一些. 至于最后一题,其实完全不用太担心,多做做题你就会发现有一些选项过于细致,肯定不能选的. 最好做做BARRON,格式跟真实考试一样.你就明白了.

蕲春县17086092320： 请问在做托福阅读文章的时候,应该细读完文章再做题么?还是还有什么更好的技巧跟方法呢? - ？
朝浦金固： 有些考生喜欢把文章一字不漏地细读托福阅读文章之后再做题.这种方法仅适合于两种情况,其一,考生已具备相当的阅读水平,长期以来运用这种方法效果甚佳;其二,某一篇具体的文章是考生所熟悉的内容,细读文章并不会花太多的时间.一般来说,大部分考生采用细读文章方法,做题时间严重不足.考生不应该忘记,阅读理解测试速度和理解两个方面.这两方面自己复习起来有困难,也可以借助辅导班的学习,不妨去北京新东方的托福强化班去看看吧.另外做好词汇题关键在于透彻分析上下文——词汇题的句子以及上下一句话,有时候,个别词汇题也许需要在托福阅读文章其他段落寻找线索.

蕲春县17086092320： 新托福阅读应该先读完一遍,再边读边做题; 还是直接边读边做? - ？
朝浦金固： 楼主,当然是先看这道题的题目,然后直接到看原文在原文中找答案了.哪有时间先读完一遍啊!一般来讲,如果做题比较快建议把两道题之间的文章也读一下,如果时间不够可以不读,但是个人感觉会在一定程度上影响最后一题对于全文的把握

蕲春县17086092320： 对于托福阅读有的人说先看题在读文章,有的人说相反会比较好,到底该怎么做呢?速度快准确率高~ - ？
朝浦金固： 根据我自己的经验,我的建议是: 1.如果正常的做题,应该先看一遍文章,对于每道题再回文章去找对应点,这样在把握文章大意上不会错.同时,很多细节你都看过了,有了一些印象,一些题你可以直接作出了,即使不能直接作出至少可以在第二遍时较为容易的找出. 2.在三个阅读过程中,如果你到后来没有时间了,你们可以先看题,但是准确率可能没法保证. 我在平时做TPO的时候都是按照这种方法,一套题在17分钟左右,考了两次托基本是压着时间做完的,所以平时你的速度要保持很高. 还有,最后一道三选题如果时间不够的话可以不用太纠结于题目,实在不行就蒙吧.两次分别考了94、100,阅读都是28分. 希望对你有所借鉴~

蕲春县17086092320： 做新托福的阅读题是,是否要把文章读完?？
朝浦金固： 先看大标题,搞清楚这篇文章是哪种类型的文章. 然后先看第一题的题目和选项.明白这道题问的是什么.然后返回文章找答案. 然后是第二题 第三题…… 如上面的回答所说,题目是跟着文章顺序走的,所以你把题做完了,文章差不多也读完了. 如果遇到读不懂的地方,但有题目设置,完全可以按照常识来答.因为托福出的题是和真理常识完全吻合的. 不像GRE,很多地方是违背我们的常识的. 读文章的时候要有很清晰的逻辑思维.比如,它的分类、每段的中心句.读完后要有个框架,不然最后一道总结题会费很多时间.

蕲春县17086092320： 托福考试阅读如何合理安排时间? - ？
朝浦金固： 对于托福考试一般情况下是要进行3篇阅读文章42道题,总计时间是60分钟,但是遇到加试的情况下,就会多出1-2篇文章且时间上也会增加到80-100分钟,所以说托福阅读考试的时间也是不确定性的.那么这时你要如何把握托福阅读的时间呢...

蕲春县17086092320： 托福阅读时是先读文章再做题还是先看题再到文章里找好吖? - ？
朝浦金固： 先看题,再看文章,机考托福每道题都会有出题所在段落指向,先看题,再回到文章中找答案,有针对的做题,效率高,准确率也高.除非那些概括问题,比如本文介绍了什么.但是往往概括题要么在第一题,不过大多数都在最后一两题,做题时可以把第一题空起来,做后面的,等到都做完了,有时间还可以返回第一题做一下.不过托福阅读不必慌张,4,6级的阅读水平就能拿到25左右(ibt).
