1、托福阅读方法的总结 托福阅读有什么方法?今天给大家带来了托福阅读方法的总结,希望能够帮助到大家，下面就和大家分享，来欣赏一下吧。托福阅读方法的总结一、 阅读步骤：我把它总结成几个短句：1. 10秒预览(来自以前的东方老师小白，现在跳槽去新航道追随胡敏老先生了)花很短的时间预览*全部。预览什么?(1) 特征词，人名，地名，大写字母，acronym(考考你什么意思)，特殊的斜体字还由数字。目的是看出*的性质，是人文科学?还是自然科学，是人物介绍，还是新事物说明，还是新发现的介绍，还是讲历史或者考古学等等。(2) 1+1+1。就是*的每段首末句，*的最后一句。目的就是理解*的主题。要注意这个时间加起
2、来(肯定没有10秒那么短)大概就是1分钟，所以以后改叫60秒预览.现在你有了大致的主题在脑海中，好了，现在进行第二步。2. 详略得当的细读原文。Peter反对所谓的快速阅读，我认为*应该全部读过去，只是在以下几个地方可以加速阅读：(1) 类比的地方：把什么比做什么，重点看被比做的对象，原来的对象略读(我说的略读意思是理解但不分析)(2) 列举的地方：看一至两个列举项就可以，了解其特征即可，其他部分一扫而过。(3) 举例的地方：如果看懂了作者的观点，举例可以略读，但是没看懂观点，必须细读例子。(4) 人名地名：用词首大写字母代替，能区分张三李四，烟台西安就可以。(5) 同位语：地位并列，看懂一个
3、就可以(当然在对比型的*中就都要看，这里就体现出了刚才10秒预览的作用，在对*性质的理解基础上，可以很好的取舍，决定对*阅读的详略)3. 5秒回想在读完每一段的时候，千万不要直接进入下一段，这时候不要看*，试着在头脑里回想刚才读过的那段在讲什么，再次归纳段主题，并和刚才3+1+1过程中得到的*主题比较，做出修正。其实这样做是很有道理的，你一定看过老杨的17天，它说短期的记忆周期是5分钟，所以我们的5秒回想其实就是复习，加深了记忆。许多人觉得他们阅读读完了对*印象一片空白，就是因为没有及时复习。4. 完成上面的步骤，我们就算读完了*，最后在脑海里把你对*的认识做一点修改，形成你通过刚才阅读得到的
4、知识体系，下面就是用来做题了。二、 题目类型：1. 主题题：考*主题找全文中心句为依据，考段主题找段中心句为依据。界定范围之后首先排除越界的选项(与全文无关，或者与本段无关的，或者其他段里偷换来的，记住在TOEFL阅读里边，它山之石，不可攻本山之玉)之后对剩余选项的范围进行分析，不符合题干范围的全部排除(范围过小的，范围过宽的)然后排除绝对选项，all, almost, only, most , must 看到就要怀疑是否绝对化了。把这些都排除完了，估计答案就出来了，最后把答案和你刚才自己得到的主题对应一下，检查是否正确就可以。2. 猜词秀(这种题可以说是TOEFL阅读的招牌了)给大家一个口诀
5、：抛开词汇本身，前后各看一句，注意对应关系，分析感情色彩，主动被动区分，选词代入验证。上面的几句差不多就可以概括做猜词题的全部要点了，其实说是猜词，其实很不恰当，因为我们猜的实际上是某一个词在一个句群中所起的修饰，限制，补充作用，所以我们一定要从句群来分析词。所以，遇到一个猜词题，首先确定这个词所处的句群，可能是3，5句，有时候甚至是整个段。然后我们把主考词所在的那一句孤立出来，看它和前后句子的关系。下面我具体说说句子之间的关系。托福的阅读，甚至是所有的英文阅读，都遵循着一个从主题到细节，从抽象到具体的说理原则，就是不管是*框架，还是段落框架，都是先罗列主题，再分述，分述的时候也是先列举观点，
6、再阐释细节，必要的时候举例说明。Peter通过分析历年的考试题，发现猜词题的句子一般不是主题句，那么只是细节句或者是分述句.那么我们就抛开主题与细节之间的关系，但来看细节句之间的关系.其实细节句之间的关系只有两种，同义关系或者是反义关系，同义关系就是：递进，并列，解说，举例，扩展，这些关系实际上前后句说的是一个意思，所以前句的信息可以直接用来为猜词服务.而反义关系就是：转折，让步，否定，反例.那么只要把前句关系取反，就可以为猜词服务.好了吧，到这里我想大家应该掌握了猜词的做法.当然，我们还有辅助的分析办法，如果猜词的本身你认识，那么也可以作为你猜词的信息，但是一定要注意，你所知道的意思只是辅助
7、信息，不是主要信息，因为它不具有*的特性，放到特殊的*里边就可能和原义有了差别.在分析选项的时候，四个词一定要代入原来的句群，看它是否真的和原意群完全吻合，包括动宾搭配，动状搭配，介词搭配，和定语与中心语的搭配.3. 指代题可以完全按照猜词题的办法来做.4. 细节题：办法就是找，找到了就成功了一半，这种题关键是一定要把对细节的把握建立在对全文和全局的把握上.5. Except和True or False的题型.其实还是搜索，只不过可能有人会觉得找不到，Peter的办法是拿题干核心词和四个选项结合，搜索选项，这样至多三次就可以选出答案.Questions 40-50 The cities in
8、the United States have been the most visible sponsors and beneficiaries of projects that place art in public places. (主题!)They have shown exceptional imagination in applying the diverse forms of contemporary art to a wide variety of purposes. The activities observed in a number of “pioneer” cities s
9、ponsoring art in public places-a (5 ) broadening exploration of public sites, an increasing awareness among both sponsors and the public of the varieties of contemporary artistic practice, and a growing public enthusiasm-are increasingly characteristic of cities across the country.

14、lize urban areas.(art的作用和象征意义) By continuing to sponsor projects involving a growing body of art in public places, cities will certainly enlarge the situations in which the public encounters and grows (25)familiar with the various forms of contemporary art.(熟悉现代艺术) Indeed, cities are providing artis

Artists are recognizing the distinction between public and private spaces, and taking that into account when executing their public commissions. They are working in new, often more durable media, and on an unaccustomed scale.(给艺术
16、家代来新的艺术交流形式) 现在我拿*来展示我的Peter阅读法：1.60秒预览：看到了The cities in the United States(大写字母，地名)New York City(城市)a monument to Martin Luther King(名人)差不多了，Peter确定了是人文科学的*，又和米国有关，涉及到了一些名人，这就是*的属性.2.1+1+1：The cities in the United States have been the most visible sponsors and beneficiaries of projects that place ar
17、t in public places. +The result of these activities is a group of artworks that reflect the diversity of contemporary art and the varying character and goals of the sponsoring communities. +In sculpture, the projects range from a cartoonlike Mermaid in Miami Beach byRoy Lichtenstein to a small fores

19、ters and grows +They are working in new, often more durablemedia, and on an unaccustomed scale.所以可以看出*大概可能仿佛似乎好象在说城市对艺术的资助以及艺术在这种环境下的发展以及对城市的影响.3.下面开始读*.读完第一段回想，本段讲了美国城市对公共场所艺术的支持，许多先驱艺术家都参与进来，然后现在许多城市都在建设，这又给了公共场所艺术一个发展的空间.读完第二段回想，大概作者是在举具体的例子，谈到了雕塑和各城市里的艺术作品.(本段可能会考细节)第三段回想，这里讲公共场所艺术对市民和艺术家的影响.好了，
20、大概的框架建立了起来，同时Peter把具体的分析用括号括起来放在*里.现在来看题.43. According to the passage, new settings for public art are appearing as a result of (A) communities that are building more art museums (B) artists who are moving to urban areas (C) urban development and renewal (D) an increase in the number of artists in t
21、he United States. 答案C，我选D 解答：看看Peter的第一段的3秒回想，城市建设方面，具体句子是With many cities now undergoing renewed development, opportunities are continuously emerging for the inclusion or art in new or renewed public environments, including buildings, (10)plazas, parks, and transportation facilities，然后其实后边也有一句对应的：T
22、he specialized requirements of particular urban situations have further expanded the use of art in public places:综合起来我们肯定是选C.49. The word “executing” in line 28 is closest in meaning to (A) judging (B) selling (C) explaining (D) producing 答案是D，我选的C 解答：哈哈，来招牌菜了，我们来分析这个题.Indeed, cities are providing a
23、rtists with an opportunity to communicate with a new and broader audience. Artists are recognizing the distinction between public and private spaces, and taking that into account when executing their public commissions. They are working in new, often more durable media, and on an unaccustomed scale.
24、好的，OK现在从后句来分析，后句They are working in new, often more durable media, and on an unaccustomed scale和前句是解释关系，也就是同义的，那么我们直接拿来用，They are working 和executing their public commissions对应，好了，去答案里可以直接把producing挑出来了，因为artists的work就是创造，和评判，卖，解释关系不大(其实卖也是artist的工作，但是公共的艺术，在*和金钱无关)好了，Peter再次赖皮了是不?又没有分析主考词executing，不
25、过既然能选对，不分析这个词不犯法吧，哈哈.(这也是红宝书上的词.)50. According to paragraph 3, artists who work on public art projects are doing all of the following EXCEPT (A) creating artworks that are unusual in size (B) raising funds to sponsor various public projects (C) exposing a large number of people to works of art (D) u
26、sing new materials that are long-lasting. 答案B，我选的D可以用Peter说的定位方法，(A) creating artworks that are unusual in size=on an unaccustomed scale(B) raising funds to sponsor various public projects (C) exposing a large number of people to works of art=recognizing the distinction between public and private sp
27、aces (D) using new materials that are long-lasting. =durable 好了，ACD排除了之后，可以选B了.其他几篇*：阅读：Questions 1-9: Europa is the smallest of planet Jupiters four largest moons and the second moon out from Jupiter.

28、ed by the exploratory spacecraft Voyager 2, and within days, Europa was transformed-in our perception, at least-into one of the solar systems (5)most intriguing(我读到这里就认为这个词有很大的嫌疑考猜词.) worlds. The biggest initial surprise was the almost total lack of detail, especially from far away. Even at close ra
29、nge, the only visible features are thin, kinked brown lines resembling cracks in an eggshell. (前面看不懂没关系，看到了resembling先大笑三声，大概就是cracks in an eggshell)And this analogy is not far off the mark. The surface of Europa is almost pure water ice, but a nearly complete absence of craters indicates that Europ
30、as surface ice resembles Earths Antarctic ice cap(再笑吧，我们现在知道surface 像Earths Antarctic ice cap). The (10) eggshell analogy may be quite accurate since the ice could be as little as a few kilometers thick -a true shell around what is likely a subsurface liquid ocean that , in turn, encases a rocky cor
31、e. The interior of Europa has been kept warm over the eons by tidal forces generated by the varying gravitational tugs of the other big moons as they wheel around Jupiter. The tides on Europa pull and relax in an endless cycle. The resulting internal heat (15) keeps what would otherwise be ice melte
32、d almost to the surface. The cracklike marks on Europas icy face appear to be fractures where water or slush oozes from below. (这里不管你能不能看懂中间，这最后一句打死也要明白，因为它在解释鸡蛋壳上的裂痕Peter估计这里可能会有考题) Soon after Voyager 2s encounter with Jupiter in 1979, when the best images of Europa were obtained, researchers advan
33、ced the startling idea that Europas subsurface ocean might harbor life.(老生常谈了!) Life processes could have begun when Jupiter was releasing a (20 )vast store of internal heat. Jupiters early heat was produced by the compression of the material forming the giant planet. Just as the Sun is far less rad
34、iant today than the primal Sun, so the internal heat generated by Jupiter is minor compared to its former intensity. During this warm phase, some 4.6 billion years ago, Europas ocean may have been liquid right to the surface, making it a crucible for life. 1. The word “intriguing” in line 5 is close
35、st in meaning to(果然，就是考了猜词，这个我不是骗人，我读到那里就觉得要考猜词了.这种你绝对认识但是一时说不明白什么意思的词绝对高频!) (A) changing (B) perfect (C) visible (D) fascinating 这道题没猜对，应该是D，我选的C，看到后面有visible解答：我把这个句子拿下来再看：. Until 1979, it was just another astronomy textbook statistic. Then came the close-up images obtained by the exploratory spac
36、ecraft Voyager 2, and within days, Europa was transformed-in our perception, at least-into one of the solar systems most intriguing worlds. The biggest initial surprise was the almost total lack of detail, especially from far away.好了，现在再来分析，你应该可以看出Peter拿了这个词的前后两句，其实不止两句，最好头脑里现在想着这篇*在说什么.开始作者说从astron
37、omy textbook statistic到close-up images是想表达什么意思?以前关于欧罗巴的资料只是数据，现在已经有了图象，那我现在就认为这个intriguing可能有真实，准确，栩栩如生，生动，等意思，继续往下看，was transformed-in our perception说明可能生动，栩栩如生这方面的意思可能更多一点，现在看后边的句子，好了，看到了surprise，可以大笑三声了，因为可以体会出作者的思想感情出来了，好了，现在直接把A,C选项拉出去弊了，那么就请比较perfect和fascinating这两个词哪个可以表达我上边分析的含义，你可以发现perfect强
38、调完美，而后者有allure吸引的含义，你是永远不可能把perfect和surprise 联系起来的，也不可能把perfect和生动联系起来，所以这个题绝对是D.注意：你可以看出Peter在分析这个题的时候完全没看intriguing那个词和句子，不过你如果背过红宝书，相信你连分析也不用，就直接选了D，我还能记得这个词在word list22,或者23不信你去找找.8. According to the passage, what is the effect of Jupiters other large moons on Europa? (A) They prevent Europas su
39、bsurface waters from freezing. (B) They prevent tides that could damage Europas surface. (C) They produce the very hard layer of ice that characterizes Europa. (D) They assure that the gravitational pull on Europa is maintained at a steady level. 答案是A，我选的是D 解答：答案在这里：The interior of Europa has been k
40、ept warm over the eons by tidal forces generated by the varying gravitational tugs of the other big moons as they wheel around Jupiter. The tides on Europa pull and relax in an endless cycle. 这里has been kept warm不就是They prevent Europas subsurface waters from freezing吗?9 According to the passage, wha
41、t is believed to cause the thin lines seen on Europas surface? (A) A long period of extremely high tides (B) Water breaking through from beneath the surface ice (C) The continuous pressure of slush on top of the ice (D) Heat generated by the hot rocky core 答案是B，我选的C 解答：呵呵，Peter又一次准确预测了考试题，看来我可以去出题了.
42、这里就是问鸡蛋壳上的裂痕water or slush oozes from below.，这里你选C可能就是看到了slush，其实这词啥意思我也不知道，但我认识water，而且要注意water是要from below而不是on top，而且这个continouspressure也不对吧.Questions 30-39 Native Americans probably arrived from Asia in successive waves over several millennia, crossing a plain hundreds of miles wide that now lie
