如何打通托福阅读的任督二脉?

作者:网编整理 来源:网络 发布时间:2018-12-14

托福阅读的成败就在于知道答案在哪里,而非答案是什么。明白作者的写作思路,找到文章的段与段之前、句子与句子之间的逻辑关系,掌握正确做题思路,以不变应万变才是关键。今天我们主要从逻辑关系、否定词、态度词、学术词四个方面为大家进行了总结手把手教你文章到底应该怎么读迅速打通你托福阅读的任督二脉!

1.逻辑关系最重要

一般来讲,托福阅读中常见的逻辑关系主要有转折逻辑、并列逻辑、比较逻辑、因果逻辑、举例逻辑五种。

逻辑是一篇文章的灵魂,也是出题者的集中地,考试中经常以混淆逻辑关系为出题点,所以快速识别出文章中的逻辑关系绝对是阅读备考的重中之重。托福文章多以科普性文章居多,有时逻辑关系表达的比较隐晦,一时间可能难以识别,但是这些都可以通过平时的训练进行提高,直至形成条件性反射。

下面就是为大家整理的一些逻辑关系的提示词,看到这些词,大家就要警觉起来,迅速识别出是哪种逻辑关系!但是这些提示词也仅供参考,大家还是要考虑具体语境。

注:以下例句均出自托福TPO阅读。

转折逻辑

这是必须掌握的逻辑关系,很容易出题。我们把让步与转折都归到这里,因为它们的提示词往往很相似,但是具体是让步还是转折我们还是根据语境分析。转折,常见于前后具有两个完全相反的意思;而让步往往有欲扬先抑、先贬后煲的意味,提及的信息有一种预料之外的感觉。

but / however 最容易辨别的提示词

The green iceberg did not contain large amounts of particles from these organisms, butthe ice had accumulated dissolved organic matter from the seawater.

even though / even if 虽然,即使

Even if the new population is of a different species, it can approximately fill the niche vacated by the extinct population and keep the food web intact.

nonetheless / nevertheless 尽管如此,然而

A warm-blooded turtle may seem to be a contradiction in terms. Nonetheless, an adult leatherback can maintain a body temperature of between 25 and 26°C (77-79°F) in seawater that is only 8°C (46.4°F).

despite / in spite of 尽管

But the shortage of crews proved to be a greater and greater problem, despitecontinuous appeal to Venic’s tradition of maritime greatness.

at least 隐含让步

seem to后常见转折

One Lascaux narrative picture, which shows a man with a birdlike head and a wounded animal, would seem to lend credence to this third opinion, but there is still much that remains unexplained.

并列逻辑

出现并列时要注意,要迅速把并列对象联系起来,很可能会在except题中出现。同时,某些并列词常伴随着对比转折关系。

and / both ……and…… 最明显的并列提示词。名词间用and连接表并列,句子间用and连接常表递进

It swims farther into the cold of the northern and southern oceans than any other sea turtle, and it deals with the chilly waters in a way unique among reptiles.

between……and…… / among

together with 伴随

comprise / consist 包含

The greater Pacific region, traditionally called Oceania, consists of three cultural areas: Melanesia, Micronesia, and Polynesia.

either……or…… / neither……nor……

apart from 除了

Apart from statues representing deities, kings, and named members of the elite that can be called formal, there is another group of three-dimensional representations that depicts generic figures, frequently servants, from the nonelite population.

比较逻辑

主要集中在相同相似、相反相异、比较级与最高级。另外,在涉及到两个不同的对象,转折逻辑可以转换为比较逻辑。

previously 时间先后对比

Previously, large audiences had viewed spectacles at the theater, where vaudeville, popular dramas, musical and minstrel shows, classical plays, lectures, and slide-and-lantern shows had been presented to several hundred spectators at a time.

relatively / comparatively

rather than 而不是,两者对比

举例逻辑

举例是把一类事物落实到具体的事物上,常见于推断题。例如:

such as

like

态度词

underestimate 低估;look down on 看不起;look up to 尊敬;think / believe 态度提示词;favor / unfavor;support;withstand;contradictory;susceptible;suitable;unique;

contradiction;problem;suspect;work perfectly;criticize;vital

下面我们以TPO 11 第一篇文章第二段为例,与大家一起来分析一下究竟什么是正确阅读托福文章的套路。

The majority【多数,暗含了比较】 of three-dimensional representations【复数词,易展开】, whether 【让步】standing, seated, or【并列】 kneeling, exhibit【学术】what is called frontality: they face straight ahead, neither twisting nor turning【并列】. When such statues are viewed in isolation, out of 【负向词】 their original context 【学术】and 【并列】without【否定】 knowledge of their function【学术】, it is easy【态度】 to criticize【否定 态度】them for their rigid attitudes 【态度】that remained unchanged【否定】for three thousand years. Frontality is, however,【转折】 directly related to 【隐含因果词】the functions of Egyptian statuary and the contexts in which the statues were set up. Statues were created not 【否定】for their decorative effect but 【转折】to play a primary role in the cults of the gods, the king, and 【并列】the dead. They were designed to be put in places where these beings could manifest themselves in order to 【目的】be the recipients of ritual actions. Thus【因果】 it made sense to show the statue looking ahead at what was happening in front of it, so that【因果】 the living performer of the ritual could interact with the divine or deceased recipient. Very often such statues were enclosed in rectangular shrines or 【并列】wall niches whose only opening was at the front, making it natural for the statue to display frontality. Other【比较】 statues were designed to be placed within an architectural setting, for instance,【举例】 in front of the monumental entrance gateways to temples known as pylons, or in pillared courts, where they would be placed against or between pillars: their frontality worked perfectly【态度】 within the architectural context.

以上就是今天为大家带来的这样做托福阅读,什么题型都不怕,希望对大家有所帮助。阅读并没有大家想象的那么难,我们要学会以不变应万变,关键是掌握阅读文章的正确套路,在不断练习中学会总结,相信阅读水平一定会大有长进!
