新託福閱讀題型解析之分類填表題解題技巧

衆所周知託福閱讀考試當中有10大類題型，除了圖表題近年來很少看到之外，其它9類題型在考試的都是會出現的。如果你在託福備考的過程當中對於這些題型沒有了解其它結構以及解題方法，那麼對於你的託福閱讀考試提分是非常不利的。這裏小編爲大家帶來託福閱讀填表題解題技巧，希望對大家有幫助。

託福閱讀題型解析之填表題

這類題型出現的較少，大家也可以瞭解一下。

OG中明確給出了本類題目計分的原則。分類填表題給出的表一般有2類或者3類組成;有四種情況：2類5正確選項;3類5正確選項;2類7正確選項;3類7正確選項。對於有5個正確選項得題，一共值3分，答對5個得3分，答對4個得2分，答對3個得1分，答對2個或2個以下不得分;對於有7個正確選項的題，共值4分，答對7個得4分，答對6個得3分，答對5個得2分，答對4個得1分，答對3個或3個以下不得分。

這種題，無論是分成2類還是3類，都肯定是文章中明確給出的。而且應該是文章寫作的線索，是文章劃分結構的依據。都有很明顯的結構上的標誌，有助於區分開。正確選項，一般都在文中以小列舉的形式出現，只要把握了文章結構，選出來並不困難。我認爲這種題比較容易。練習幾次就能找到竅門，應該好好把握這種肥而不膩的題。

託福閱讀題最重要的是找到閱讀段的主題句，分析出出題者的意圖，然後根據文章關鍵詞進行答題。考生在做託福閱讀題的時候需要重視開頭段，結尾段和過渡段，在這三個地方，一般會包含着託福閱讀段的真實題義。

託福閱讀技巧：正確率優先 速度跟後

託福閱讀有的時候真的是很惱人，不管我們怎麼背單詞，不管我們怎麼做題，他的分數就是在那裏像吃了秤砣一樣，巍然不動，其實很多時候，不是我們不努力，而是我們做事的順序做反了，有點欲速則不達的感覺。

其實當我們在備考託福閱讀的時候，很多考友只是很機械的，將新託福突破口TPO做了一遍又一遍，又一遍。但是托福考試與物理化學是不一樣的，做物理化學題的時候，我們每做一道題，有可能就會掌握一種新的解題思路。

但是託福是個英語考試，英語考試其實我們可以把它想象成一個飯盒，它需要掌握的知識是非常有限的，這些只是其實我們早就學過了，托福考試並沒有考到什麼新的知識，托福考試要求的，僅僅是要求我們將之前的知識熟練運用即可!

但是，各位考友需要注意的是，托福考試所需要的知識，其實應該是對於“單詞、語法、邏輯”的“快速、準確、細緻”的理解，託福閱讀的核心其實就是這些，也就這麼簡單!但是問題是不管你做多少遍題，本身都是不可能去幫助你掌握“單詞、語法、邏輯”的，因爲做題做一遍就是過了，裏面的單詞我們是沒有背下來的，裏面考到了什麼語法呢?

讓我們說，我們也真的說不出來?同樣的，與語法相關的邏輯我們也沒有得到任何的提高。因爲我們看到的都是一句一句單獨的句子，這些句子是已經將“單詞、語法、邏輯”整合起來了。我們做題看到的一個一個的句子，這就好比是我們看到的馬路上的一臺一臺的汽車，托福考試考的核心是這些汽車裏面的零部件的工作原理，可是如果我們只坐在路邊看汽車的話，是根本看不到這些汽車裏面的工作原理的。我們做多少遍題，我們就看了多少遍汽車在我們的面前飛馳而過，但是仍然是不可能知道這些車裏面的工作原理的。

請注意，這裏並不是說不可以做題，我們是可以做題的。但是我們並不應該僅僅是去掐時間20分鐘做完題這麼簡單。

其實當我們在前期做題的時候，應該是不限時做題的，我們應該把做題的時間拉長，換句話說，就是我們就會有充分的時間，去研究裏面每一個單詞，每一個語法點的邏輯，以及弄懂每一句話是什麼意思，當然還包括弄懂前後文的邏輯發展，這都是很重要的。

做完託福閱讀題之後，也不是把題一下就扔在一邊，我們還應該，去反思裏面的錯題，因爲我們都已經不限時做題了，那麼我們爲什麼還會做錯題呢?原因很簡單!就是因爲我們掌握的知識裏面是有錯誤的地方，或者我們有的知識根本學的不紮實!因此我們就要把那些題目做對了，但是我們不知道爲什麼，以及做錯了的題弄清楚，我們爲什麼錯了，到底是有什麼知識點我們不清楚?!自己弄不懂就去求教高手，只有這樣我們才能一點一點提升我們的託福閱讀分數。

Reading

(1) The northern spotted owl is the only species whose survival has been definitively proven to depend on old growth. For at least a dozen other species, ranging from the marten to the pileated woodpecker, a reservoir of old growth habitat may also be essential. But using radio collars, researcher Eric Forsman followed foraging flights from owl nests in the broken tops of ancient Douglas first and fed the data into a computer. The computer-generated maps revealed an overwhelming preference for hunting in forests over two hundred years old, even if to do so the owls have to travel to the limits of their ranges, bypassing plenty of slightly younger forest en route to a kill. The owl needs old growth, and lots of it. But he probably won’t get it.

(2) Early in the 1980s government biologists decided that of the 1,000 or so nesting pairs of northern spotted owls in Oregon, 400 were needed to guarantee survival of the species. They initially proposed setting aside 1,000 acres for each nesting pair. Later studies showed an average pair needed 2,200 acres and in some conditions of terrain, well over 3,000. But Bureau of Land Management timber managers agreed to a mere 300 acres of per pair when, as part of an interagency agreement, it took responsibility for 90 owls. Later the agency’s director indicated that the Bureau had no legal obligation to honor the agreement if it interfered with timber sales. Some years after Forsman reported his original findings, population geneticist Russell Lande completed another analysis of the owl and its habitat, concluding that the owl was headed for certain extinction. Nevertheless, in 1987 officials at the US Forestry Service and at US Fish and Wildlife decided not to list the owl as threatened or endangered.

(3) Inconveniently for the logging industry, the little owl has turned out to be anything but insignificant. As early as 1968, a small group of researchers were applying modeling techniques to forest ecosystems. Ecosystems research is politically awkward; it considers nothing by itself. In the Douglas fir forests of the Cascades and the Coast Ranges the owl’s ecological role is to cull and keep healthy the population of small mammals that are its favorite foods, among them the fungus-eating California red-backed vole and the northern flying squirrel.

(4) A flying squirrel would not launch himself into space from the safety of an old-growth fir’s wrinkled bark, nor a vole emerge from his burrows under and old-growth down log, were they not also gourmets. They are after truffles, the extremely edible fungus that is found near the roots of trees and plants.

(5) It has been known for a century that woody plants, and especially conifers, develop symbiotic relationships between the tips of their roots and certain fungi. n These fungus-root combinations are called mycorrhizae. n But their full interconnectedness with the forest ecosystem was not widely understood, even among botanists, until 1977, when a zoologist and mushroom expert began working as a team. Their research explained that when the fungi such as mushrooms and truffles wrap themselves tightly about root tips, they perform the spongelike services that fungi do best: absorbing minerals, nitrogen and water from the soil and feeding them to the tree. nThey also produce growth-regulating chemicals that induce the tree to produce new root tips and strengthen the tree’s immune system, giving it a longer life span. n

(6) Squirrels, mice and voles, along with certain insects, eat the fruiting bodies of the fungi—truffles—and carry the spores to new sites in their intestines. Though some mycorrhizal fungi fruit above ground as mushrooms and scatter their spores on the wind, truffles are entirely earthbound. Unless animals eat them, they don’t reproduce. And it is these fungi that are adeptly conserving moisture on the steep slopes where ground water runs off rapidly and where foresters have a hard time growing new trees. As their spores ripen, the truffles begin to emit strong and distinctive odors—fruity, fishy, cheesy, garlicky—so that the rodents can home in on them with a minimum of digging. Squirrels that, for whatever reason, can’t do this efficiently enough, of course, get eaten by owls.
