托福閱讀看懂了還選不對(duì)答案怎么辦？

很多同學(xué)都羨慕別人托福成績(jī)單里的閱讀滿(mǎn)分。

是的，你或許聽(tīng)過(guò)很多做題方法，刷了不少TPO，翻來(lái)覆去也背過(guò)好幾遍的紅寶書(shū)，可是…..

高分永遠(yuǎn)是別人的，你什么都沒(méi)有！

想想，你學(xué)了那么多，你有沒(méi)有搞清楚作者說(shuō)的是什么，他想怎么考你呢？

每次錯(cuò)了題，你畫(huà)了一個(gè)大大的紅叉叉，心里默念了聲：if you so…

好吧，既然答案要這么說(shuō)，那就這么理解吧。

做完題感覺(jué)自己明白了答案，但又說(shuō)不清自己錯(cuò)在點(diǎn)，更甭提以后如何避免錯(cuò)誤。當(dāng)然，你的分?jǐn)?shù)只就只能靠感覺(jué)，用差不多的努力換一個(gè)差不多分?jǐn)?shù)，最后換來(lái)一個(gè)跟目標(biāo)差很多的結(jié)局….

今天，我們就以一道題示范，托福閱讀出題本質(zhì)是什么。我們做閱讀時(shí)，到底應(yīng)該考慮哪些。

例題：

As he collected fossils from strata throughout England, Smith began to see that the fossils told a different story from the rocks. Particularly in the younger strata, the rocks were often so similar that he had trouble distinguishing the strata, but he never had trouble telling the fossils apart. While rock between two consistent strata might in one place be shale and in another sandstone, the fossils in that shale or sandstone were always the same. Some fossils endured through so many millions of years that they appear in many strata, but others occur only in a few strata, and a few species had their births and extinctions within one particular stratum. Fossils are thus identifying markers for particular periods in Earth's history.

According to paragraph 4, it was difficult for Smith to distinguish rock strata because

○the rocks from different strata closely resembled each other

○he was often unable to find fossils in the younger rock strata

○their similarity to each other made it difficult for him to distinguish one rock type from another

○the type of rock between two consistent strata was always the same

很多同學(xué)可以很喜悅的開(kāi)啟這道題：題目讀完后，en，確定是熟悉的事實(shí)信息題（細(xì)節(jié)題），就麻溜溜去定位。

由題目中的distinguish rock strate定位原文到「The rocks were often so similar that he had trouble distinguishing the strata, but he never had trouble telling the fossils apart.」

簡(jiǎn)直不要再友好了嘛，定位詞木有改寫(xiě)，直接出現(xiàn)在定位句中。恰好，這句話(huà)說(shuō)..相似讓他難以區(qū)分巖石層。

沒(méi)什么可猶豫的，答案C中就正好有similarity, 所以C肯定是正確答案。這么快就能把答案做出來(lái)，感覺(jué)自己棒棒噠！

可是……

正確答案是A，心涼了。

很多同學(xué)不服，覺(jué)得找不出C選項(xiàng)任何毛病。到底問(wèn)題出在哪呢？下面，老師來(lái)揭秘。

首先，這是一道因果考點(diǎn)的事實(shí)信息題，所以我們帶著題目要求閱讀定位句時(shí)，一定要仔細(xì)關(guān)注因果話(huà)題。

定位句是「The rocks were often so similar that he had trouble distinguishing the strata, but he never had trouble telling the fossils apart.」沒(méi)錯(cuò)，這句話(huà)中的so…that…因果關(guān)系一定不要讀漏掉。考點(diǎn)確定之后，仔細(xì)閱讀因果話(huà)題是指rocks were similar ？？ he had trouble distinguishing the strata.

仔細(xì)分析C選項(xiàng)，their similar指的是誰(shuí)呢？選項(xiàng)和題干是CP，所以選項(xiàng)指代對(duì)象從題干中確定，自然their指代的是Rock strata, 所以C選項(xiàng)指Rock strate’s similarity？而非rocks’ similarity。在這里，正確答案A討論對(duì)象就是rock, 并且把similarity改寫(xiě)成了resemble. 總結(jié)下，這道題的考點(diǎn)就是因果？指代。

沒(méi)想到，ETS的陷阱就這么讓人猝不及防。

怎么樣，是不是覺(jué)得難題也不是那么難，就差那么一點(diǎn)點(diǎn)就能選對(duì)？沒(méi)錯(cuò)，托福高分并沒(méi)有很難，但需要系統(tǒng)學(xué)習(xí)。搞清楚了ETS考點(diǎn)后，你的選題思路會(huì)越來(lái)越清晰，學(xué)習(xí)也變得更高效了，還怕考不到28+…
