篇1:托福阅读速度慢怎么提高速度

误区一:题目顺序和文章顺序一致

很多同学会问托福阅读答题时是先看题还是先看文章,题目顺序和文章顺序是不是一致的?所谓的托福阅读题目顺序和文章顺序一致,这个经验曾经确实存在过,在以前是适用的;而现在,托福考试阅读部分题目是全文分布式,有很多题目是要通读全文才能作答的,所以题目和文章顺序一致是一大认知误区,同学们还是要读完整篇文章再去看题目。

误区二:阅读速度很慢

有许多同学会说,这个托福阅读我都能读懂,但是就是有一个问题速度太慢了。同学们是不是经常出现一句话要读两遍,一个字一个字用手指着读……这些情况?

其实这并不是阅读速度太慢了,而恰恰是阅读速度太快了,而理解速度没有跟上,阅读和理解的速度不匹配。这就如同吃饭,往嘴里放饭放的太快了,而没有时间嚼。所以同学们需要提高的是对文章的理解能力,而不是训练阅读速度。

误区三:需要理解解题技巧

这个误区与前面所述是一样的,托福考试是一个能力的测试,并没有过多的技巧或机经,同学们需要专注的是能力的提升。

托福阅读想要快速提升,考生就需要全方位提升自己应对阅读的各项能力水平,无论是阅读词汇积累,对长难句句式和语法的掌握还是阅读各类题型的解题思路技巧,考生都需要做好充分准备。下面就来和大家分享三个比较实用的提高托福阅读速度的方法。

如果想要把自己的阅读速度提升,其中有一个最重要的因素即为词汇。在大家备考托福过程中一个词汇也在经历不断累积的过程,而在积累词汇过程中考生要学着整理这些词汇,特别是针对那些最容易在阅读文章里出现的高频词汇一定要多做归纳整理,再针对这些词汇出现的语言环境提升掌握能力,如此一来大家对阅读词汇的了解也会提升。

大家在做托福练习的过程中能够感觉到许多语法内容知识点都已完全融入到了阅读和听力的一些题目中。想要应对好这些题目,最关键的是好句子的结构分析。提升句子结构,就是指将主谓宾结构部分和定状补修饰成分准确把握。做到这一点看上去简单,但实际处理时却仍有一定难度。特别是当考生处理一些长难句复杂句时,如何完全分析出句型结构也需要针对练习,而阅读速度则能在这些练习中获得提升。

在阅读的过程中大部分同学都会出现一个问题:自己在词汇和语法上都是有基础的,但想要提升阅读速度却会变得一场困难。假如你也有这种问题,那么建议你可以去调整一下自己的阅读方法了。大多数考生在阅读时,都有先看完文章完全理解后再开始答题的习惯,而这种做法很容易造成考试时间的紧张。在此需要提醒大家,托福考试作为一门语言考试,考察最重要的还是大家的答题能力,而不是阅读能力。所以,考生不需要清晰地把全文的每一个细节都彻底了解。建议大家的阅读理解方式是,首先仔细阅读文章段落的第1、2句,把握住段落主旨大意,然后快速浏览其余部分。通过这样的方式阅读,既能加快阅读速度,又能让大家对文章的结构思路更有把握。

为什么你的托福阅读速度这么慢?因为这4个方法你没有用

一、略读

略读又称跳读(readingandskipping)或浏览(glancing),是一种专门的,非常实用的快速阅读技能。

略读有下列几个特点:

A、以极快的速度阅读文章,寻找字面上或事实上的主要信息和少量的阐述信息。

B、可以跳过某个部分或某些部分不读。

C、理解水平可以稍低一些,但也不能太低。

二、快速泛读(fastextensivereading)

这里讲的泛读是指广泛阅读大量涉及不同领域的文章,要求读得快,理解和掌握文中的主要内容就可以。要确定一个明确的阅读定额,定额要结合自己的实际,可多可少,例如每天读20页。

三、计时阅读(timedreading)

计时阅读每次进行5~10分钟即可,不宜太长。因为计时快速阅读,精力高度集中,时间一长,容易疲劳,精力分散反而乏味。

四、寻读(Scanning)

寻读又称查读,同略读一样,寻读也是一种快速阅读技巧。

寻读是一种从大量的资料中迅速查找某一项具体事实或某一项特定信息,如人物、事件、时间、地点、数字等,而对其它无关部分略去不读的快速阅读方法。

掌握了方法之后需要在平常多加练习,到了考试时才能用的得心应手。

篇2:托福阅读速度慢怎么提高速度

一 扩大词汇量

托福阅读是考验词汇积累量的时候,如果一篇文章中有很多词你都不认识,要想在20分钟内完成题,估计是幻想,所以大家先要做的事就是积累足够多的词汇。

二 提升对英文句子的理解力

有的同学会出现这种情况,每个单词都认识,但是连起来就是不知道这句话是什么意思,导致整篇文章看了下来,还是不知道作者想要表达啥,每段的段落大意也不会知道,句子与句子之间的联系还是不知道,无法准确判断出出题点等等情况......怎么办呢?这就要基于平时的练习,对错题的归纳总结,对句子的理解。

三 掌握各类题目做题技巧

运用好托福阅读的考试技巧,可以让你在20分钟内快速完成文章,还能有时间检查。不同题型必须用不同方法,才能高效高质地解题。

1)细节题

特征:According to Paragraph .... A(某专有名词,或含修饰语的名词) ....

方法:先读题目要求,再读对应的自然段,找关键词A进行定位,正确答案来自原文

2)词汇题

特征:The word A in the passage is closest in meaning to...原文该词灰框

方法:解题时只看题目和选项,不看原文,直接选同义词!如果真的不能确定,再代入原文看是否合适

3)EXCEPT题

特征:硕大的EXCEPT

方法:先看选项,再读文章,定位方法同“细节题”,定位后看到选项内容,就排除,最后未被排除的就是正确选项

4)理解句意题

特征:原文句子灰框,题目冗长

方法:只读原文的灰框句子,不读上下文。是理解句意,不是翻译句子也不是同义改写,可以省掉不重要的部分,只要把重点内容说清楚了就行。读句子时“透过现象看本质”,把修饰部分忽略,先看清句子主干。

5)总结题

特征:最后一题,2种类型:6选3,或者分类

方法:做题前再回顾一遍文章,读每一自然段首句,宏观把握文章结构和脉络。

托福阅读备考攻略

托福阅读应该如何备考呢?先来看看传统的托福阅读的备考方式

1、通过模拟测试训练

要求自己在20分钟之内完成一篇文章。期间排除环境干扰,不能查单词,甚至不能上厕所。一切都模拟真实考试环境,目的是为了在考试前对真实考试的压力和精力需求有直接的体验。

2、错题总结回顾

做完题之后还要对题目进行剖析,错误选项为什么错,正确选项为什么对。在这个环节要注意分析自己喜欢错哪个类型的题目,并进行总结。同时,把错题和错题所对应的段落复制到错题文档中。

3、深度分析文章

这是真正能够提高阅读能力的环节。回到原文之中,逐句逐词读文章,遇到每一个自己不认识的单词都查一下,并且结合文章内容,把它背诵下来。每个意思不确定的词组,也要通过一切手段搞懂。在单词和词组的基础之上,搞懂文章每一句话的意思、每个段落的内部逻辑、段落之间的关系和文章的构成。

托福作为一个标准化的考试,它的考点以及文章构造的方式总是固定的。而逻辑的展开方式,无非也就是因果、并列、递进、转折、让步那么几种。我们需要做的无非是多遍熟悉文章的写作和构建方式,之后在考试中,看到一个段落能够对段落的构建方式有准确的预判和把握。这是提高对 篇章把握能力的有效方法。

4、对照译文重新阅读

这个步骤无非是一边读英文,一边核对中文,看看自己对于每一句话的理解是否得当。因为我们保不准会出现这样的情况:一开始以为自己读懂了,其实却是一个错误的理解。这种情况比完全没读懂还要可怕,因为它把问题隐藏了。

如果这些方法你使用过,并且你的词汇量很大,但是只是不出分,那么你应该看看下面的分析和建议:

当你有了丰富词汇的基础,就要开始着手进行“输入”的过程了。输入的方式很多,有跳读、指读、唇读、默读、寻读、研读等等。而我们在输入信息的时候,也不会仅仅拘泥于其中的一种阅读方式,更多情况之下,是结合了其中的多个来进行的。

比如通过跳读把握文章的中心意思、段落结构、作者态度;通过寻读找到关键信息;通过研读解决对应的题目。不管运用怎样的方式,最终的目的是要记住、并正确理解文章内容及其隐含的意义。所以,想要提高“阅读速度”,真正要锻炼的是“理解能力”。

先来说一下“记住”,这似乎又回到“词汇”的部分了。 篇章的记忆可以借鉴词汇的记忆方法,比如图像、联想等。另外,“记笔记”也是帮助记忆 篇章的好办法。把一些重要的信息、关键的词、甚至文章的结构用笔纸记录下来,不但可以协助记忆,还以为把握文章的中心和逻辑框架,从而更好地理解文章。由此可见,“记住”和“理解”是分不开的。理解了才能记住,记住了才能从更大的角度去理解。

那么要如何提高理解能力呢?

其一,我们在读句子的时候,要注意理清句子成分和结构,要知道各成分的意思以及它们之间的逻辑关系,要能够正确把握这些成分组合起来所表达的意思。一个句子可以多读上几遍,通过重复的练习,达到能够正确“拆解”和“重组”句子的目的。

其二,对于 篇章而言,也是一个反复的过程,但是和句子的训练有些不同。先准备一篇合适的文章,掐时间阅读,要求自己在规定的时间之内尽可能多地摄取信息。然后在同样的时间之内,将这篇文章再读一遍, 那么第二遍摄取到的信息必然比第一遍多, 接着反复进行几次。在这样的过程当中,眼睛是在迅速掠过已知的信息,去寻求新的信息点,其实就是在进行快速阅读。它不是真正强调视线的转移,而是在浏览全篇的同时,怎样去获得更多的新信息,更快、更准地把握整个语篇的主旨。所以,“抓住句子逻辑关系练习”和“反复快速阅读练习”是真正提高理解能力的两大法宝。

篇3:如何提高托福阅读速度

托福阅读速度慢的三大原因

1.逐字翻译导致读句子的速度慢

很多同学在翻译句子的过程中,都没有一个良好的习惯,只是机械地把所有英文单词的中文意思堆砌起来。对于简单句来说,这样做其实无可厚非;但是遇到语法结构稍微复杂的句子,这种方法便会立刻失效,于是同学们便会不断重复回看这句话,想要弄清楚它的意思,这样便造成了时间上的极大浪费。所以我们在平时练习过程中需要训练自己养成一个良好的阅读习惯,不要被那些单词牵着走,而要主动地去分析句子结构:句子主语是谁?这个主语怎么了,发生了什么事?谁是修饰成分?谁才是真正的谓语?当我们能够做到读完一句理解一句,相信我们自然就能在要求时间之内答完题了。

2.练习少,对题目缺乏熟悉度

许多同学把备考托福阅读等同于背单词,因而一天到晚只跟单词书亲近,却不曾正眼看过TPO中的阅读文章。背单词固然重要,毕竟单词不会,文章也无法理解。但是想要提高分数、想要冲刺阅读高分,那我们就必须把TPO阅读文章当作圣经一样来对待。这不只是草草做题对答案了事,更是通过大量做题,来增强自己对于托福阅读出题套路的了解,以期掌握每种题型的应对方案,争取做到读完题之后,能够立刻找到题干中的有效关键词,再迅速回文定位答案。同学们不要觉得题海战术是很笨的方法,多年实践已经证明,它其实是一种很有效率的学习方法,关键在于我们是否能够通过题海战术有所收获,而不是为了做题而做题。

3. 文章结构不够熟悉

我特别强调做完题后,分析每篇文章的文章结构这件事。为什么?因为文章结构大概也就那么几种,见得多了,便就一见如故了。在考场上,我们根本没有时间为了最后一道题而把文章再通读一便。而倘若我们在做题过程中,就能迅速总结出每一段的中心意思,那么这篇文章我们一定会读得更通透,在做每一段相应的题时也就能够提高准确率。而能否迅速总结出段落大意就依赖于平时严格的训练。不要做完了题就万事大吉,把每篇文章充分利用起来,观察它们的结构,多做总结,这样的工作做得多了,必然会有所收获的。

超强总结:四种方法提高托福阅读速度

下面,我们就听听老师对提高英语阅读速度的一些建议:

方法一:快速泛读(fastextensivereading)

这里讲的泛读是指广泛阅读大量涉及不同领域的文章,要求读得快,理解和掌握文中的主要内容就可以。要确定一个明确的阅读定额,定额要结合自己的实际,可多可少,例如每天读20页。

方法二:计时阅读(timedreading)

计时阅读每次进行5~10分钟即可,不宜太长。因为计时快速阅读,精力高度集中,时间一长,容易疲劳,精力分散反而乏味。

方法三:寻读(Scanning)

寻读又称查读,同略读一样,寻读也是一种快速阅读技巧。

寻读是一种从大量的资料中迅速查找某一项具体事实或某一项特定信息,如人物、事件、时间、地点、数字等,而对其它无关部分略去不读的快速阅读方法。

方法四:略读(skimming)

略读又称跳读(readingandskipping)或浏览(glancing),是一种专门的,非常实用的快速阅读技能。

略读有下列几个特点:

A.以极快的速度阅读文章,寻找字面上或事实上的主要信息和少量的阐述信息。

B.可以跳过某个部分或某些部分不读。

C.理解水平可以稍低一些,但也不能太低。

托福阅读速度的提高方法介绍

想要做到托福阅读提高,首先要做的就是快速阅读托福文章,这样就有更多的时间进行做题和思考。提高托福阅读速度可以采用快速泛读、计时阅读、寻读、略读等方法。如何将这些方法利用,下面为大家分享托福阅读经验。

快速泛读是指广泛阅读大量涉及不同领域的文章,要求读得快,理解和掌握文中的主要内容就可以。要确定一个明确的阅读定额,定额要结合自己的实际,可多可少,例如每天读20页。

而计时阅读每次进行5~10分钟即可,不宜太长。因为计时快速阅读,精力高度集中,时间一长,容易疲劳,精力分散反而乏味。

寻读又称查读,同略读一样,寻读也是一种快速阅读技巧。它是一种从大量的资料中迅速查找某一项具体事实或某一项特定信息,如人物、事件、时间、地点、数字等,而对其它无关部分略去不读的快速阅读方法。

它与略读不同,略读时,读者事先对材料一无所知,而寻读则是在读者对材料有所了解的情况下进行的。具体地说,寻读带有明确的目的性,有针对性地选择问题的答案。

略读又称跳读(reading and skipping)或浏览(glancing),是一种专门的,非常实用的快速阅读技能。

在进行托福阅读略读时,要利用印刷细节,如文章的标题、副标题、小标题、斜体词、黑体词、脚注、标点符号等,对文章进行预测略读。预测略读要了解作者的思路、文章方式(模式),以便把握大意,有关的细节及其相互关系。

以一般阅读速度(200~250wpm)阅读文章开头的一、二段,力求抓住文章大意,背景情况,作者的文章风格,口吻或语气等。阅读段落的主题句和结论句。抓住主题句就掌握了段落大意,然后略去细节不读,以求得略读速度。注意转折词和序列词。转折词如however,moreover,inaddition等;序列词如firstly,secondly等。

以上就是托福阅读提高经验如何加快托福阅读素的方法介绍,希望考生可以将这四种方法运用到托福阅读速度训练中,最后达到提高托福阅读速度的目标。

篇4:托福阅读备考:托福阅读速度如何提高

很多同学阅读分数提不上去的一大原因就是因为阅读速度太慢。托福阅读篇幅较长,内容偏学术,如果阅读速度提不上去,肯定会影响阅读成绩。那么我们应该如何提升阅读速度呢?

托福阅读备考:托福阅读速度如何提高?

影响托福阅读速度的因素有很多,比如阅读文章不理解,很多词汇不认识,文章内容太枯燥,长难句太多……想要提升托福阅读速度就要从根本上解决这些问题。托福阅读考试时间非常紧张,平均每道题的做题时间仅有不到2分钟。所以快速阅读能力在托福考试中非常重要,希望大家能重视起来。

一. 阅读文章读不懂,如何提升阅读速度

托福阅读文章还是有一定难度的,很多同学初次接触托福都觉得托福文章读不懂或者需要花费很久才能弄懂意思。那么读不懂文章如何提升阅读速度呢?从根本上讲,阅读读不懂是因为词汇量和语法基础太差。所以建议先背托福词汇,看一遍基础语法知识。词汇是阅读的根基,没有词汇量做基础,阅读速度是不可能有很大提升的。托福阅读要求大家有很快的阅读速度,如果一篇阅读中生词太多,就算快速读完也不知道文章的意思。除了背单词之外,还要掌握基本的语法知识,英语句子结构与中文很不相同,掌握语法知识有助于大家理解文章中的长难句。所以总的来说,文章读不懂要先将基本功练扎实。

二. 题目做太慢,如何提升做题速度

有的同学表示,阅读文章能读懂,但就是题目做的太慢,所以做阅读总是超时。题目做的慢,其实是因为缺乏做题技巧,不能快速在原文中定位题目位置。阅读打好基础以后,要学习一些做题的技巧,比如小结题应该通读文章段落找答案,推理题要根据文章意思推理得出,词汇题要将选项带入原句看是否通顺……做题技巧是提升阅读做题速度的高效方法。托福阅读题目是按顺序出题,基本上按照文章的文章结构对应题目,大家在做题的时候要快速定位题目位置,结合上下文快速选出答案。托福阅读题目中很多选项似是而非非常具有迷惑性,一定要提高辨别能力,选择最佳选项。

三. 课外练习很重要

托福阅读速度考验大家的英语基本功,提升阅读速度也需要大家在利用空暇时间多练习。多刷题是有帮助的,除了刷题之外,大家还要多去阅读英文报刊杂志。很多同学看到一篇冗长的托福阅读时,心里的压力感倍增,感觉似乎“不可能完成”。大家平时在课余时间多读英文报刊杂志,就会习惯英语的长篇文章,能减少心理上的压力感,也能提升自己的阅读速度。而且大家在阅读英文报刊杂志的过程中还能积累生词,扩充知识面,可谓一举多得,何乐而不为。

托福阅读真题练习:土壤质地

托福阅读文本:

The mineral particles found in soil range in size from microscopic clay particles to large boulders. The most abundant particles — sand, silt, and clay — are the focus of examination in studies of soil texture. Texture is the term used to describe the composite sizes of particles in a soil sample, typically several representative handfuls.

To measure soil texture, the sand, silt, and clay particles are sorted out by size and weight. The weights of each size are then expressed as a percentage of the sample weight. In the field, soil texture can be estimated by extracting a handful of soil and squeezing the damp soil into three basic shapes; (1) cast, a lump formed by squeezing a sample in a clenched fist; (2) thread, a pencil shape formed by rolling soil between the palms; and (3) ribbon, a flatfish shape formed by squeezing a small sample between the thumb and index finger. The behavioral characteristics of the soil when molded into each of these shapes, if they can be formed at all, provide the basis for a general textural classification. The behavior of the soil in the hand test is determined by the amount of clay in the sample. Clay particles are highly cohesive, and when dampened, behave as a plastic. Therefore the higher the clay content in a sample, the more refined and durable the shapes into which it can be molded.

Another method of determining soil texture involves the use of devices called sediment sieves,screens built with a specified mesh size. When the soil is filtered through a group of sieves, each with a different mesh size, the particles become grouped in corresponding size categories. Each category can be weighed to make a textural determination. Although sieves work well for silt, sand, and larger particles, they are not appropriate for clay particles. Clay is far too small to sieve accurately; therefore, in soils with a high proportion of clay, the fine particles are measured on the basis of their settling velocity when suspended in water. Since clays settle so slowly, they are easily segregated from sand and silt. The water can be drawn off and evaporated, leaving a residue of clay, which can be weighed.

托福阅读真题练习:行星探索

托福阅读文本:

In July of 1994, an astounding series of events took place. The world anxiously watched as,every few hours, a hurtling chunk of comet plunged into the atmosphere of Jupiter. All of the twenty-odd fragments, collectively called comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 after its discoverers, were once part of the same object, now dismembered and strung out along the same orbit. This cometary train, glistening like a string of pearls, had been first glimpsed only a few months before its fateful impact with Jupiter, and rather quickly scientists had predicted that the fragments were on a collision course with the giant planet. The impact caused an explosion clearly visible from Earth, a bright flaming fire that quickly expanded as each icy mass incinerated itself. When each fragment slammed at 60 kilometers per second into the dense atmosphere, its immense kinetic energy was transformed into heat, producing a superheated fireball that was ejected back through the tunnel the fragment had made a few seconds earlier. The residues from these explosions left huge black marks on the face of Jupiter, some of which have stretched out to form dark ribbons.

Although this impact event was of considerable scientific import, it especially piqued public curiosity and interest. Photographs of each collision made the evening television newscast and were posted on the Internet. This was possibly the most open scientific endeavor in history. The face of the largest planet in the solar system was changed before our very eyes. And for the very first time, most of humanity came to fully appreciate the fact that we ourselves live on a similar target, a world subject to catastrophe by random assaults from celestial bodies. That realization was a surprise to many, but it should not have been. One of the great truths revealed by the last few decades of planetary exploration is that collisions between bodies of all sizes are relatively commonplace, at least in geologic terms, and were even more frequent in the early solar system.

托福阅读题目:

(D) They have an unusual orbit.

2. The word “collectively” in line 3 is closest in meaning to

(A) respectively

(B) popularly

(C) also

(D) together

3. The author compares the fragments of comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 to all of the following

EXCEPT

(A) a dismembered body

(B) a train

(C) a pearl necklace

(D) a giant planet

4. Before comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 hit Jupiter in July 1994, scientists

(A) had been unaware of its existence

(B) had been tracking it for only a few months

(C) had observed its breakup into twenty-odd fragments

(D) had decided it would not collide with the planet

5. Before the comet fragments entered the atmosphere of Jupiter, they were most likely

(A) invisible

篇6:你知道如何提高托福阅读速度吗

你知道如何提高托福阅读速度吗?

The primary method previously used by paleontologists to estimate climatic changes that occurred during Pleistocene glacial cycles(新世纪冰川周期)was the determination of 18O/16O(18O与16O分别为氧元素)ratios in calcareous fossils.

第一眼看上去这个句子很长,结构很复杂,但是如果对这句话进行意群划分,我们会发现这个句子理解起来并没有那么难。下面我们就来分析一下这个句子:首先,我们需要找到句子的主干。主语一般是由名词或代词来充当的,这句话的主语显然是“the method”;谓语一般是由动词来充当的,那么这句话中的动词哪一个才是句子的谓语呢?如果考生对句子成分比较熟悉的话,很容易判断出这个句子其实是一个主系表结构,句子的系动词是“was”,后面的“the determination”自然就是句子的表语了。

找到了句子的主干,剩下的就是句子的修饰成分了。下面我们依次来看一下:主语前面的形容词“primary”是来修饰主语的;主语后面的“previously used by paleontologists”是非谓语作后置定语,也是用来修饰主语的;接下来的“to estimate climatic changes”是不定式作目的状语来修饰前面的动词“use”;然后,“that”引导的是一个定语从句,来修饰前面的“climatic changes”,其中“during”作时间状语修饰前面的动词“occur”;最后是“系动词+表语”结构。整个句子按照意群就可以划分为:

1)The primary method 2)previously used by paleontologists 3)to estimate climatic changes 4)that occurred during Pleistocene glacial cycles 6)was the determination of 18O/16O ratios in calcareous fossils.

整个句子的结构就变得清晰了,自然阅读速度就上去了。

托福考试中应避免的四个错误

一、托福就是背单词

新托福阅读词汇量在8000--10000左右,很多的高中生只有单词,优秀一些的学生可能会有4000左右,但要提高到8000还需不断扩充词汇。同学中有很多将单词书过了很多遍,但在实际读文章,或是听力答题的过程中还是显得单薄。这是因为考生大多记得只是单词的样子而不熟悉它的发音和用法。 其实在新托福听说读写这四个部分,词汇考察是不同的。词汇量考察最大的是阅读部分,然而这一部分只需要考生眼熟即可。虽然听力部分考察词汇量要相对的少一些, 但对考生的要求更高, 就是一定要耳熟, 口语一定要嘴熟,写作要手熟。但不管是哪一部分, 都需要考生对于大学英语四六级这些最为基础核心的词汇极为熟悉。托福考试 除了用单词书系统去背单词, 考生应该总结听过的每一篇听力文章,读过的每一篇阅读文章中的生词。这样在实际运用中掌握的单词, 会很牢靠,因为你不仅知道了它的意思 还有它的声音以及用法。所以要将单词书和托福文章结合起来,不能脱离文章死背单词, 亦不能只做文章而不去总结。

二、直接做托福题

对于基础不是很好的同学, 不建议直接接触托福。 如果备考时间较长,建议先通过适合自己难度的教材来循序渐进的提高自己在英语方面的综合实力。托福考试 至于这方面应用的材料, 在听力方面,建议同学听step by step 或listen to this 初中级。对高中生来说,英语学习的面比较窄,一般不能看懂西方的大学阶段的教材。这就要求我们同学经常听VOA和一些西方的媒体及主流刊物,这里面涉及到一些专业词汇,相对来说中国学生接触得很少, 可以逐步积累。

三、纯靠实力,对整个考试没有充分的把握

新托福考试每一部分都有各自要求, 考生必选仔细研读考试指南。托福考试 例如写作,很多同学倾向用复杂的单词,用复杂的单词有两大弱点:一、极其容易拼写错误,二、用得不够恰当。有的单词在字典里翻译得并不准确,一旦使用,只会让人啼笑皆非。所以单词的应用要以得体适用为主,而不是单纯寻求复杂词汇。再比如听力部分,很多同学都会盲目地记录一些文章细节,而忽略了对文章整体架构和主要信息的把握。托福考试 另外缺乏对文章内容进行归纳总结的能力,把握不住文章的重点。所以最后答题仍是不得要领。阅读更是如果没有对各种题型的全面把握,掌握其特点,在考试中会相当棘手。

四、没有时间概念,没有上机模拟

从托福来讲,很多同学在临场考的时候,茫然不知所措,平时练得很少,阅读20分钟之内不能很好的完成一篇文章,写作在规定时间内也‘敲’不完,再比如口语,15秒钟的时间准备,有35秒钟时间去讲,如果平时没有充分的花时间去练习的话,准备15秒,从头到尾讲出一些逻辑性的话,很多同学都无从下手。

托福考试 建议平时可以对着镜子,自己准备15秒,在35秒之内怎么把这段话说得流利是很重要的。 托福是上机考试,已经习惯了书面答题的同学一定要提前先适应一下机答的感觉。考前尽量严格按照考试流程做5套以上的模拟题,题目可以参考Barron, Kaplan, Delta, Longman等都是很好的模考材料,通过真实的模考体验真实考试的时间和强度,才能在考场上充分发挥自己的水平。

托福阅读真题训练1

The history of clinical nutrition, or the study of the relationship between health and how the body takes in and utilizes food substances, can be divided into four distinct eras: the first began in the nineteenth century and extended into the early twentieth century when it was recognized for the first time that food contained constituents that were essential for human function and that different foods provided different amounts of these essential agents. Near the end of this era, research studies demonstrated that rapid weight loss was associated with nitrogen imbalance and could only be rectified by providing adequate dietary protein associated with certain foods.

The second era was initiated in the early decades of the twentieth century and might be called the vitamin period. Vitamins came to be recognized in foods, and deficiency syndromes were described. As vitamins became recognized as essential food constituents necessary for health, it became tempting to suggest that every disease and condition for which there had been no previous effective treatment might be responsive to vitamin therapy. At that point in time, medical schools started to become more interested in having their curricula integrate nutritional concepts into the basic sciences. Much of the focus of this education was on the recognition of vitamin deficiency symptoms. Herein lay the beginning of what ultimately turned from ignorance to denial of the value of nutritional therapies in medicine. Reckless claims were made for effects of vitamins that went far beyond what could actually be achieved from the use of them.

In the third era of nutritional history in the early 1950's to mid-1960s, vitamin therapy began to fall into disrepute. Concomitant with this, nutrition education in medical schools also became less popular. It was just a decade before this that many drug companies had found their vitamin sales skyrocketing and were quick to supply practicing physicians with generous samples of vitamins and literature extolling the virtue of supplementation for a variety of health-related conditions. Expectations as to the success of vitamins in disease control were exaggerated. As is known in retrospect, vitamin and mineral therapies are much less effective when applied to health-crisis conditions than when applied to long-term problems of undernutrition that lead to chronic health problems.

托福阅读真题训练2

In July of 1994, an astounding series of events took place. The world anxiously watched as, every few hours, a hurtling chunk of comet plunged into the atmosphere of Jupiter. All of the twenty-odd fragments, collectively called comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 after its discoverers, were once part of the same object, now dismembered and strung out along the same orbit. This cometary train, glistening like a string of pearls, had been first glimpsed only a few months before its fateful impact with Jupiter, and rather quickly scientists had predicted that the fragments were on a collision course with the giant planet. The impact caused an explosion clearly visible from Earth, a bright flaming fire that quickly expanded as each icy mass incinerated itself. When each fragment slammed at 60 kilometers per second into the dense atmosphere, its immense kinetic energy was transformed into heat, producing a superheated fireball that was ejected back through the tunnel the fragment had made a few seconds earlier. The residues from these explosions left huge black marks on the face of Jupiter, some of which have stretched out to form dark ribbons.

Although this impact event was of considerable scientific import, it especially piqued public curiosity and interest. Photographs of each collision made the evening television newscast and were posted on the Internet. This was possibly the most open scientific endeavor in history. The face of the largest planet in the solar system was changed before our very eyes. And for the very first time, most of humanity came to fully appreciate the fact that we ourselves live on a similar target, a world subject to catastrophe by random assaults from celestial bodies. That realization was a surprise to many, but it should not have been. One of the great truths revealed by the last few decades of planetary exploration is that collisions between bodies of all sizes are relatively commonplace, at least in geologic terms, and were even more frequent in the early solar system.

1. The passage mentions which of the following with respect to the fragments of comet

Shoemaker-Levy 9?

(A) They were once combine in a larger body.

(B) Some of them burned up before entering the atmosphere of Jupiter.

(C) Some of them are still orbiting Jupiter.

(D) They have an unusual orbit.

2. The word collectively in line 3 is closest in meaning to

(A) respectively

(B) popularly

(C) also

(D) together

3. The author compares the fragments of comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 to all of the following EXCEPT

(A) a dismembered body

(B) a train

(C) a pearl necklace

(D) a giant planet

4. Before comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 hit Jupiter in July 1994, scientists

(A) had been unaware of its existence

(B) had been tracking it for only a few months

(C) had observed its breakup into twenty-odd fragments

(D) had decided it would not collide with the planet

5. Before the comet fragments entered the atmosphere of Jupiter, they were most likely

(A) invisible

(B) black

(C) frozen

(D) exploding

6. Superheated fireballs were produced as soon as the fragments of comet Shoemaker- Levy 9

(A) hit the surface of Jupiter

(B) were pulled into Jupiter's orbit

(C) were ejected back through the tunnel

(D) entered the atmosphere of Jupiter

7. The phrase incinerated itself in line 9 is closest in meaning to

(A) burned up

(B) broke into smaller pieces

(C) increased its speed

(D) grew in size

8. Which of the following is mentioned as evidence of the explosions that is still visible on

Jupiter?

(A) fireballs

(B) ice masses

(C) black marks

(D) tunnels

9. Paragraph 2 discusses the impact of the comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 primarily in terms of

(A) its importance as an event of great scientific significance

(B) its effect on public awareness of the possibility of damage to Earth

(C) the changes it made to the surface of Jupiter

篇7:提高托福阅读速度的方法

提高托福阅读速度的方法

有关提高托福阅读速度的方法,请参考 参考,希望对您有帮助

提高托福阅读速度的方法【1】

想要提高托福阅读速度,首先要清楚托福阅读都考查什么能力,只有相应的能力提高,才能真正提高阅读成绩。

OG 对托福阅读能力做出了规定:测试考生理解大学水平的学术课文与文章的能力。

对这个要求进行拆分和解读,我们可以得到不同层面的能力要求,比如单词层面,句子层面,段落层面以及文章层面。

清楚了不同层面的能力要求,我们就可以有针对性的进行强化训练,进而提高能力。

以句子层面为例,句子理解能力是阅读基础能力之一,是理解文章的基础(要求),要通过句子句法结构分析、翻译等练习强化句子理解能力(方法),从而提升阅读速度。

托福阅读怎么提高速度?我做的效率总不是很高【2】

福阅读考查考生学术文章理解能力,需要在规定时间内完成文章阅读以及题目,如果不能按时完成,说明阅读能力还有所欠缺。

提高阅读能力,可以从提高词汇理解能力、提高句子理解能力、关系和逻辑梳理以及文章结构的把握能力等方面入手,每一项能力提高都要做有针对性、系统性的练习。

建议掌握正确的方法,坚持足够多的练习,提高能力。

想要提高阅读分数,首先要找到自己的问题,对症下药,才能达到事半功倍的效果。

一般情况下,影响托福成绩的因素有以下几个:

词汇量不够,这个是硬伤,词汇读不懂,文章是绝对看不懂的,所以只能老老实实地背单词。

单词认识,但是句子不理解,这个问题归根到底是语法的问题,托福阅读中有很多结构比较复杂的长难句出现,所以理解句子是理解文章的'前提,建议强化句子理解能力,可以进行一些句子结构分析与翻译的练习,读完句子立刻就能读懂在说什么。

句子理解没问题,但是整篇文章看不懂,梳理句内信息、句间的信息乃至段落见的信息之间关系的能力较差,“读不懂全文,有些段落觉得自己看懂了但一做题目就错”,实际上正是因为没有真正在理解句子的基础上进行关系梳理,建议边读文章边记笔记,通过记笔记的方法梳理文章整体结构以及各部分的关系,这样多加练习才能有效提高自己的阅读水平。

想要提高阅读分数,必须打好基础,加强训练,切记,在基础没有巩固扎实之前,不要盲目刷题,这样是不能有效提高分数的。

请问如何提高托福阅读速度【3】

托福阅读时间有限,20分钟读一篇学术类的文章,时间有点紧。

平时要注意积累托福阅读词汇,因为篇章中有许多同义转换的题,如果词汇量大,这些题目可以迅速解决。
