如何突破新托福閱讀考試大關(guān)

在新托?？荚囍虚喿x環(huán)節(jié)是讓很多考生頭大的一個(gè)環(huán)節(jié)，而且很多考生對(duì)這部分試題認(rèn)識(shí)也存在一定的誤區(qū)。那么如何突破新托?？荚囬喿x大關(guān)呢？首先要認(rèn)清自己對(duì)新托福閱讀存在的盲點(diǎn)，并有針對(duì)性的進(jìn)行解決。只有這樣才能夠更好的準(zhǔn)備新托?？荚?。

很多考生在平時(shí)練習(xí)時(shí)習(xí)慣邊讀文章邊在題目上劃線，似乎不做 記號(hào) ，思維就無(wú)法跟上托福閱讀的速度，但是到了真正上機(jī)考試，不能對(duì)文章做記號(hào)的時(shí)候，考生難免會(huì)亂了陣腳。

有些考生因?yàn)闀r(shí)間緊，所以根本沒等讀完全文就直接做題，這種抱著僥幸心理的考生真的上了考場(chǎng)其實(shí)是很危險(xiǎn)的，因?yàn)閱螒{對(duì)文章局部的理解，根本無(wú)法掌握文章的整體內(nèi)容和觀點(diǎn)。

而還有一些考生必須把文章一字不漏的閱讀和翻譯之后才能做題，往往忽視了閱讀的速度，這種細(xì)讀的方法之適用于兩種情況：一種是考生已經(jīng)具備相當(dāng)強(qiáng)的閱讀水平，而且長(zhǎng)期運(yùn)用這種方法，另外一種是這篇文章是你曾經(jīng)讀到過(guò)的，即使一字一句的讀也不會(huì)花太多時(shí)間。

很多人都認(rèn)為詞匯題的做的好不好完全取決于自己的詞匯量，事實(shí)上詞匯量是占了相當(dāng)一部分比重，但是不知道大家是否有過(guò)這樣的經(jīng)歷，有時(shí)候不認(rèn)識(shí)的詞經(jīng)過(guò)對(duì)上下文的理解和分析也可以作對(duì)，反而是那些認(rèn)識(shí)的詞匯經(jīng)常出錯(cuò)，這是因?yàn)榇蠹以诿鎸?duì)自己有把握的詞匯時(shí)，往往忽略了上下文的重要性，憑感覺選出了一個(gè)自認(rèn)為理所當(dāng)然的答案。所以，做好詞匯題的關(guān)鍵就在于透徹分析上下文，有時(shí)候，個(gè)別詞匯題也許需要在文章其他段落尋找線索。

其實(shí)閱讀部分不僅是測(cè)試大家對(duì)文章的理解，還包括閱讀的速度，這兩方面都不能被忽視，光是具備扎實(shí)的基礎(chǔ)還遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)不夠，還需要搭配運(yùn)用巧妙的做題技巧才能取得閱讀高分。

College courses aren’t all “Econ 1011”

and “The History of Europe: 1500-Present”。 A trend among many colleges and universities is to offer courses that are slightly off the beaten track . Many of these courses draw their themes from pop culture or sports, or they may be the brainchildren of professors who want to share their passion with students. They may be no less serious than traditional courses, but they certainly cover new academic ground. Students take these off beat courses for a variety of reasons—hoping for an easy A, to try something fun, or to explore a new interest.

1） You can boldly go where no other philosophy student has gone before in Georgetown University ’s “Philosophy and Star Trek” course, where students discuss the nature of time travel, the ability of computers to think and feel, and other philosophical dilemmas facing the crew of the Starship Enterprise.

2） Discover how Brick really felt when Opal left him for his neighbor’s best friend’s sister in the University of Wisconsin’s course entitled “Daytime Serials: Family and Social Roles.” Students analyze

the plots, themes, and characters of daytime soaps and discuss their impact on modern life.

3） If you’ve been longing to research how hot dogs, theme parks, and the five-day workweek have impacted American leisure culture, check out the University of Iowa course “The American Vacation”。 This course pays particular attention to how American families’ varying backgrounds shape their vacation experiences.

4） Bowdoin College students can delve into “The Horror Film in Context” in the school’s English Department. Students read Freud and Poe and watch Hitchcock and Craven， all while discussing the horror genre’ s treatment of gender, class, and family.

5） At Williams College, students can learn more about those in the cement shoe industry by enrolling in “Comparative History of Organized Crime”， which compares the work of goodfellas from the United States, Italy, Japan, and Russia.

6） If you’ve got a romantic urge for adventure, check out Barnard College’s course on “The Road Movie”， which studies Easy Rider and Thelma and Louise, while also discussing the genre’s literary precursors , like On the Road and The Odyssey.

7） If hitting the road doesn’t satisfy your rebellious streak, sign up for Brown University’s course on “American Degenerates”， in which students discuss how early British-American writers embraced the grotesque , monstrous, “not our kind” status bestowed on them by the mother country and reflected their zeal for cultural and physical degeneracy in their literature.

8） Those artsy types at the Rhode Island School of Design can put down their paintbrushes and take “The Art of Sin and the Sin of Art”， which contemplates the relationship between sin and the art world. The course catalog invites you to “l(fā)ust with the saints and burn with the sinners ” .

9） If talking about death several times a week in class sounds like a good time to you, try Purdue University’s “Death and the Nineteenth Century” course. Every poem and novel in the course deals with the 19th-century conception of mortality and the world beyond.

10） At Centre College in Danville, Kentucky, students can take “Art of Walking”， in which students not only read literature by noted perambulators like Kant and Nietzsche, but go for neighborhood strolls with their professor and his dog.

Most college programs offer interesting courses to introduce you to new and fascinating subject matters. Take advantage of the many possibilities offered to you by sitting down with your advisor to talk about course options and then really thinking about the courses you choose to take.

例如當(dāng)你看到一篇文章，首先要掃一下第一段，看看文章的難易程度，一般情況，平均每篇文章用時(shí)11分鐘左右，5篇文章中一定有2篇難度稍微大一些，所以首先定位文章的難度和分?jǐn)?shù)的比重，有助于合理的安排做題時(shí)間，以便在相同的時(shí)間內(nèi)拿到多的分?jǐn)?shù)。

然后，建議大家從文章的結(jié)構(gòu)入手。文章的首句尤為重要，首句經(jīng)常涉及了文章的主題。其他段落也是主要看首句，后面的部分一般都是用來(lái)說(shuō)明段落主題句的，所以略讀帶過(guò)即可，沒必要每個(gè)句子都理解到位，白白浪費(fèi)時(shí)間。這樣掌握每段大意，就不至于出現(xiàn)大方向上的理解偏差。

考生在備考新托福考試的時(shí)候，注意對(duì)新托福閱讀的把握，首先應(yīng)該要了解自己對(duì)新托福閱讀認(rèn)識(shí)存在的誤區(qū)，針對(duì)具體的問(wèn)題在一一進(jìn)行解答。希望大家都能夠成功突破新托?？荚?。
