如何應(yīng)對新托福閱讀的背景知識？

托福閱讀文章中包羅萬象的內(nèi)容令考生頭疼不已，究其原因，是考生對于文章所述內(nèi)容太過陌生，沒有太多的托福閱讀背景知識了解，如果你對其略知一二，相信定會有所不同。所以，考生在備考時，可以多加涉獵，擴充自己的托福閱讀知識背景。

下文講述了應(yīng)對新托福閱讀背景知識的一些技巧：

根據(jù)文章記憶單詞，并不是文章中出現(xiàn)的每一個“陌生的面孔”都要去熟悉，比如一些繁瑣的專有名詞跳過即可。主要記憶的當(dāng)然是一些動詞、名詞及形容詞，尤其是出現(xiàn)在句子主干中，與解題有關(guān)的詞匯。

除了詞匯，應(yīng)學(xué)會分析托福閱讀題干及題目，比如題干中出現(xiàn)了effect，conclusion之類的詞，其實已經(jīng)界定了我們尋找的范圍——段落靠后的部分，還有就是觀點性和總結(jié)性的句子永遠(yuǎn)會是考察的重點所在。做題的時候?qū)W會分析原文和選項，進(jìn)行對比，比如句子簡化題，做一題需要看五個長句，似乎很花費時間，但并不需要每個句子都要細(xì)看，而是先明確原句的邏輯及主干，抓住選項中的關(guān)鍵點與原句進(jìn)行比較。

例如：As a result of crustal adjustments and faulting, the Strait of Gibraltar, where the Mediterranean now connects to the Atlantic, opened, and water cascaded spectacularly back into the Mediterranean.

A. The strait of Gibraltar reopened when the Mediterranean and the Atlantic became connected and the cascades of water from one sea to the other caused crustal adjustments and faulting.

B. The Mediterranean was dramatically refilled by water from the Atlantic when crustal adjustments and faulting opened the Strait of Gibraltar, the place where the two seas are joined.

C. The cascades of water from the Atlantic to the Mediterranean were not as spectacular as the crustal adjustments and faulting that occurred when the Strait of Gibraltar was connected to those seas.

D. As a result of crustal adjustments and faultin;g and the creation of the Strait of Gibraltar, the Atlantic and Mediterranean were connected and became a single sea with spectacular cascades of water between them.

原句是因果邏輯的句子，先找出其因： crustal adjustments and faulting，果：the Strait opened, and water cascaded spectacularly back into the Mediterranean。接著來看選項：A…. caused crustal adjustments and faulting 顯然是因果倒置了，毫不猶豫地滅掉;C. 因為此選項中出現(xiàn)比較not as spectacular as, 非常惹眼的一個核心詞，而原文中是修飾動詞的副詞spectacularly，并未進(jìn)行比較，二話不說也排除掉;D. As a result of crustal adjustments and faulting and the creation of the Strait of Gibraltar,… 這原因里怎么多出來一項啊，擄袖子攆人吧!
