OG之外我們不知道的托福閱讀題型

在托福OG中，托福閱讀列出了10種題型。但是近年來一直有新的題型出現(xiàn)，但是由于ETS的官方指南一直沒有將這部分題型列入其中，因此是等到“新托福突破口——TPO”出現(xiàn)之后，才慢慢被人們知曉的。

下面我們就來研究一下OG中沒列舉出來的題目

一.段間關(guān)系概括題：這種題目要求考生概括出2個自然段間的邏輯關(guān)系。比如說《THE CAMBRIANEXPLOSION》這篇文章的第6題。

6. Which of the following best describes the relationship between Paragraph2 and Paragraph3?

Paragraph2 puts forward several scientific claims, one of which is rejected in Paragraph3

Paragraph2 poses several questions, and Paragraph3offers a possible answer to one of them

Paragraph2 presents outdated traditional views, while Paragraph3presents the current scientific conclusions.

Paragraph2 introduces a generalization that is illustrated by specific examples inParagraph3

二.修辭手法題：這種題目是修辭目的的變體。OG中大多數(shù)題目只考察一個詞組的修辭目的，而實際考試會對一句話甚至整段話的修辭目的進(jìn)行考察。一個是考修辭對象，一個是考修辭的手段。比如說，《Meteorite Impact and Dinosaur Extinction》這篇文章第2題：

2. In paragraph 2, why does the author include the information that dinosaurs had flourished for tens of millions of years and then suddenly disappeared?

To support the claim that the mass extinction at the end of the Cretaceous is the best-documented of the dozen or so mass extinctions in the geological record

To explain why as many as half of the species on Earth at the time are believed to have become extinct at the end of the Cretaceous

To explain why paleontologists have always been intrigued by the mass extinction at the end of the Cretaceous

To provide evidence that an impact can be large enough to disturb the environment of the entire planet and cause an ecological disaster

三.段落結(jié)構(gòu)題：這里題目考查的是文章段落的構(gòu)架，可以算是新題型。比如：《THE ORIGINS OFTHEATER》這篇文章的第9題，

9. Which of the following best describes the organization of paragraph 5?

The author presents two theories for a historical phenomenon.

The author argues against theories expressed earlier in the passage.

The author argues for replacing older theories with a new one.

The author points out problems with two popular theories.

四. 段落主題題：這種題目考查的是整個段落的主題，可以說是老托福段落主題題的延續(xù)：

比如《Petroleum Resources》這篇文章的12題：

12.In paragraph 6, the author’s primary purpose is to

Provide examples of how oil exploration can endanger the environment

Describe accidents that have occurred when oil activities were in progress

Give an analysis of the effects of oil spills on the environment

Explain how technology and legislation help reduce oil spills

五. 雙選題：其實不僅僅在聽力考試之中有雙選題，閱讀考試之中也是有雙選題的，只是ETS有可能覺得這點并不重要，因此沒有通知偶們，例子請見：《The Geologic History of the Mediterranean》這篇文章第5題。

5. Select the TWO answer choice from paragraph 3 that identify materials discovered in the deepest part of the Mediterranean basin. To receive credit you must select TWO answers.

Volcanic rock fragments.

This silt layers

Soft, deep-sea mud

Crystalline salt

以及《THE RISE OF TEOTIHUACAN》這篇文章第11題：

11. Select the TWO answer choices that are mentioned in paragraph 5 as being features of Teotihuacán that may have attracted immigrants to the city. To receive credit, you must select TWO answers.

The prosperity of the elite

Plenty of available housing

Opportunities for well-paid agricultural employment

The presence of one or more religious shrines

除此以外，OG對于考試題型的呈現(xiàn)方法也與真實考試有一定距離，如：

一.細(xì)節(jié)題的閱讀跨度：OG中大多數(shù)題目只考一段，但是實際考試會有一道題目考2段、甚至是3段的情況。比如《GROUNDWATER》這篇文章的第10題：

10. According to paragraphs 6 and 7, why is basalt unlike most crystalline forms of rock?

It is unusually solid

It often has high porosity.

It has a low proportion of empty space.

It is highly permeable.

二.句子改寫題的句子復(fù)雜性：真實考題比OG中的句子改寫題要長很多，而且邏輯關(guān)系也更復(fù)雜。

三.指代題：OG指代題考得不少，真實考試指代題考得很少。

四.選項長度:真題的選項長度長很多。

五.細(xì)節(jié)題：題干關(guān)鍵字沒有在原文直接給出。這讓考生定位細(xì)節(jié)難度大幅度增加。不過說句公道話，其實在老托�？荚嚲鸵呀�(jīng)這樣了，并不是在新托福考試之中獨有的。比如《Depletion of the Ogallala Aquifer》這篇文章的第11題。

11.Paragraph 5 mentions which of the following as a source of difficulty for some farmers who try to conserve water?

Crops that do not need much water are difficult to grow in the High Plains.

Farmers who grow crops that need a lot of water make higher profits.

Irrigating less frequently often leads to crop failure.

Few farmers are convinced that the aquifer will eventually run dry.

六. 文章的復(fù)雜程度：這個也不用說了，OG的文章結(jié)構(gòu)性非常明顯，就好像看新聞聯(lián)播一樣;真實考試的文章結(jié)構(gòu)糾結(jié)多了，就好像看本屆世界杯一樣。
