改革后的新TOEFL考試難度系數(shù)是乎是加大了,但其實在閱讀這一塊,你會發(fā)現(xiàn)時間更充足了.閱讀理解部分是新托福（TOEFL）考試重要部分，有3篇學(xué)術(shù)文章，每篇700字左右，每篇有12-14個問題，做題時間在60分鐘左右，分?jǐn)?shù)為30分。第一篇文章閱讀為20分鐘,第二第三篇為40分鐘內(nèi)讀完做完即可,而且在規(guī)定時間內(nèi)可以隨時回來檢查,做題過程中不會的題目可以先跳過,回頭有時間再做。TOEFL閱讀文章長度大 約老TOEFL的二倍,但題目只比老TOEFL增加2-4個小題,但每篇文章的平均時間為20分鐘,而舊TOEFL為10分鐘,但題目是10個小題左右,按這個比例來看,時間充足了.
新TOEFL閱讀分為下列題型:
第一種題型： 詞匯題與以往的老TOEFL相比這個題型是太多沒有發(fā)生改變：
The word X in the passage is closet in meaning to
第二種題型： 代詞指代題 同老TOEFL,只不過去掉了行數(shù)。
The word X in the passage refers to
第三種題型： 細(xì)節(jié)題 依然考查我們對于文章細(xì)節(jié)的把握能力
factual information and negative factual information question.
第四種題型： 推理題 文章中明確給出所要推理的內(nèi)容,如給你結(jié)果讓你推原因等
which of the following can be inferred about X?
The author of the passage implies that X.....
第五種題型： 插入句子題：這種題是新TOEFL新增題型,給出一句話讓我們來判斷這句話應(yīng)加入一個段落四個方塊的哪個部分,用鼠標(biāo)雙擊所選的黑色方塊即可.這種題目本身不難做,因為需要加入的句子有明確的提示,如This is a question that has puzzled scientists for ages.要求將這句話插入一段話中.我們只需要找到關(guān)健詞question就可以直接去找哪句話可能是作者提出的問題,將這句話加在那句話之后即可.
Extinct but already fully marine cetaceans are known from the fossil record. ■how was a gap between a walking mammal and a swimming whale bridged?■ Missing until recently were fossils clearly intermediate or transitional between land mammals and cetaceans. ■ very exciting discoveries have finally allowed scientists to reconstruct the most likely origins of cetaceans. ■ In 1979, a team looking for fossils in northern Pakistan found what to be the oldest fossil whale.
你會發(fā)現(xiàn)只有how was a gap between a walking mammal and a swimming whale bridged?這句話是一個問題,所以應(yīng)放在這句的后面.正確答案就是: Extinct but already fully marine cetaceans are known from the fossil record. ■how was a gap between a walking mammal and a swimming whale bridged? This is a question that has puzzled scientists for ages. Missing until recently were fossils clearly intermediate or transitional between land mammals and cetaceans. ■ very exciting discoveries have finally allowed scientists to reconstruct the most likely origins of cetaceans. ■ In 1979, a team looking for fossils in northern Pakistan found what to be the oldest fossil whale.
第六種題型：簡化句子題
which of the following best expresses the essential information in the highlighted sentence? incorrect answer choices change the meaning in important ways leave out essential information.
原文本身通過加黑一個句子進(jìn)行highlight,讓你對這句話進(jìn)行簡化.下面四個選項哪個是簡化以后的句子.解這種題的主要方法是:仔細(xì)閱讀highlighted 的句子,找出談?wù)摰闹黧w詞,把握兩個原則:1)邏輯關(guān)系不變原則2)文章談?wù)撝黧w詞不變原則.
第七種題型： 修飾目的題
特點：The author discusses X in paragraph 2 in order to
why does the author mention X?
the author uses X as an example of
這種題型與老TOEFL的舉例題有些類似。
第八種題型： 總結(jié)題 六個answer choices選三個最能表達(dá)文章最重要的思想-大標(biāo)題已經(jīng)擬好，要求確認(rèn)主要的支持性的觀點。因為這類問題比較復(fù)雜，所以分值高些。部分答對可能得分。
第九種題型： 圖表題 這種考題你將會看到一個圖表，你的工作就是下在面被選答案中找出正確的選項，然后用鼠標(biāo)拖到表格中相應(yīng)的位置。難度高些，分值大些。部分答對可能得分。
如何備戰(zhàn)新TOEFL閱讀
The early bird catches the worm.
1．做好詞匯準(zhǔn)備：
一次大量多重復(fù)，消極詞匯認(rèn)就好；
興奮才能效率高，TOEFL老題反復(fù)練
2．做好語法準(zhǔn)備：
長難句子讀不懂，詞匯語法兩個阻，
詞匯只能天天背， 語法卻可集中看
3．做好提高綜合閱讀能力的準(zhǔn)備：
閱讀能力想提高，精讀泛讀不能少，
