托福阅读中精彩句子分析讲解

3.A series of mechanical improvements continuing well into the nineteenth century, including the introduction of pedals to sustain tone or to soften it, the perfection of a metal frame, and steel wire of the finest quality, finally produced an instruments capable of myriad tonal effects from the most delicate harmonies to an almost orchestral fullness of sound, from a liquid, singing tone to a ship, percussive brilliance.

托福阅读主观题的常见错误

第一、马虎粗心导致丢三落四或添油加醋

例1:“据说,PMI可以在较短的时间内吸收较大剂量的甲基叔丁乙醚。”句中加横线的词语能否删去?为什么?

此题有两问,第一问应先回答“不能删去”,第二问再回答不能删去的原因,原因分三步来回答:一是先解释“据说”在句中的含义,即“‘据说’是引用别人的话,不一定是真实的”;第二点再说明删去该词后对原句的理解有何影响,即“去掉后,此观点就成了客观事实,与原意不相符”;第三步还要说明用该词后语言运用上有何特点,即“用该词,体现了说明文语言的科学准确性。”

第二、审题不清,答非所问

粗心的考生在答题时,有的根本就没回答第一问,直接从第二问作答;有的在回答第二问时,要点不全面,丢三落四,因而失分。

像此类失误还很多,如“文中有这样的话‘生活就这样,当你在为别人行善时也为自己储蓄幸福’。请你结合自己的生活体验谈谈你的感悟。”学生在作答时只谈感悟,不结合自己的生活体验。

例2:结合你所学过的陶渊明的其他作品,说说你对五柳先生“不慕荣利”的看法。

考生在答该题上的失误主要有两方面,一是没有结合学过的陶渊明的其他作品或是结合了作品,但作品中并没有体现“不慕荣利”的看法(如《桃花源记》);二是回答的并非考生本人对五柳先生“不慕荣利”的看法,而是五柳先生自己“不慕荣利”的思想和表现。

例3:假如董生处在当今社会,你对董生又有何建议?(《送董邵南游河北序》)

有的考生这样回答:我建议董生为朝廷效力,用自己的知识才干造福于黎民百姓。这个考生在审题时,就没有看清假设的前提——“处在当今社会”。

第三、不善概括,抓不住重点

例4:本文(《五柳先生传》)表现了五柳先生怎样的性格特点?

第四、文体不清,用语不当

记叙文语段《轻点关门》讲述了一对夫妇为了老人的身体健康,请求邻居们出入时轻点关防盗门,最后向邻居行重礼致谢的故事,揭示了邻里之间互相体谅、真诚相处的人性美。有的考生在回答上述问题时提出“加强思想教育,加强公民道德规范教育”,显然,这不是原文作者所提倡的,也不是出题者的意图所在。原文作者提倡的是:要以“礼”服人,以德感人,从自身做起,与人友善,待人真诚,共育人性的美丽之花。

中考阅读中一般都要涉及到三大文章体裁,有些同学混淆了不同文体的特点。

例5:第3段主要运用了的说明方法,作用是

(说明文《北京的园林》)

有的考生在第一个空格内填上“举例论证”(正确的答案是“举例子”),第二条横线上填的是“生动形象地揭示了文章的中心”(正确的答案是“用具体的事例来说明北京的园林建筑在细微之处见匠心的特点”)。显然,这个考生把三种文体的特点杂糅在一起,张冠李戴了。

即使是同一类型的题,在不同文体中回答的方法也是不一样的。同样是用词的恰当,但体现的是记叙文语言的生动形象性,说明文语言的科学准确性,议论文语言的逻辑严密性。

第五、找不准答题的立足点

例6:文中第2段李先生“静静地看着我们,眼里流露出一股浓浓的歉意。”请你根据上下文揣摩李先生此时的心理活动。

仔细推敲题目的要求可看出,题意是要求答题者以自己的身份去推测李先生的心理活动,所以作答的时候只能用第三人称“他”或“李先生”,不能用第一人称“我”、“我们”。如果要用第一人称的话也只能用“我认为李先生他心里想……”的形式。此类题的失误关键是没有找准答题的切入点,没有选好角度。

第六、不注意具体题型的行文模式

主观性问答题中,行文语言要通顺、简明、准确、得体。有些问答题应顺应问句顺水推舟而答。如:“假如董生处在当今社会,你对董生又有何建议?”应用“我建议董生……”的模式作答;“你认为怎样做才能让我们周围开满人性的美丽之花?”应用“我认为……”的形式入题作答。

第七、信马由缰,随心所欲

并非所有的主观性试题都可以由考生随心所欲地发挥。做阅读题时,应注意千万不能脱离阅读语段,不能与文段中作者提出的观点、揭示的中心、提倡的看法、做法相悖。

托福阅读的水平差距体现在哪里

对于托福阅读来说考生们的差距经常就体现在到底读到了什么水平,有些人在有限的托福阅读时间内与别人所读出来的东西要相差许多,这就会对托福阅读试题造成困扰。

很多考生在平时练习时习惯边读文章边在题目上划线,似乎不做记号 ,思维就无法跟上托福阅读的速度,但是到了真正上机考试,不能对文章做记号的时候,考生难免会乱了阵脚。

有些考生因为托福阅读时间紧,所以根本没等读完全文就直接做托福阅读试题,这种抱着侥幸心理的考生真的上了考场其实是很危险的,因为单凭对文章局部的理解,根本无法掌握文章的整体内容和观点。

而还有一些考生必须把文章一字不漏的阅读和翻译之后才能做题,往往忽视了阅读的速度,这种细读的方法之适用于两种情况:一种是考生已经具备相当强的阅读水平,而且长期运用这种方法,另外一种是这篇文章是你曾经读到过的,即使一字一句的读也不会花太多时间。

很多人都认为词汇题的做的好不好完全取决于自己的词汇量,事实上词汇量是占了相当一部分比重,但是不知道大家是否有过这样的经历,有时候不认识的词经过对上下文的理解和分析也可以作对,反而是那些认识的词汇经常出错,这是因为大家在面对自己有把握的词汇时,往往忽略了上下文的重要性,凭感觉选出了一个自认为理所当然的答案。所以,做好词汇题的关键就在于透彻分析上下文,有时候,个别词汇题也许需要在文章其他段落寻找线索。

其实阅读部分不仅是测试大家对托福文章的理解,还包括阅读的速度,这两方面都不能被忽视,光是具备扎实的基础还远远不够,还需要搭配运用巧妙的做题技巧才能取得阅读高分。

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 “lust 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.

例如当你看到一篇文章,首先要扫一下第一段,看看文章的难易程度,一般情况,平均每篇文章用时11分钟左右,5篇文章中一定有2篇难度稍微大一些,所以首先定位文章的难度和分数的比重,有助于合理的安排做题时间,以便在相同的时间内拿到最多的分数。

然后,建议大家从文章的结构入手。文章的首句尤为重要,首句经常涉及了文章的主题。其他段落也是主要看首句,后面的部分一般都是用来说明段落主题句的,所以略读带过即可,没必要每个句子都理解到位,白白浪费时间。这样掌握每段大意,就不至于出现大方向上的理解偏差。

如何提升托福阅读的答题正确率

许多考生难以理解托福阅读文章,原因有两点:

(一)、没有掌握一些熟词的生僻含义。

(二)、缺乏分析长难句结构的能力。

举例说明:

There is always hope that in its labyrinth of musty, dark, disordered rooms a real rarity will be found amongst piles of assorted junk that litter the floor.

该句是由两个that引导的从句,分别充当hope的同位语从句和piles of assorted junk的定语从句。第一个由that引起的同位语从句,是由一段地点状语“in its labyrinth of musty, dark, disordered rooms”来展开全句的,其主句的语态是一个由a real rarity做主语的被动语态。全句可以翻译如下:人们还常常幻想在发霉、阴暗、无序的迷宫般店堂里,从杂乱地堆放在地面上的、各式各样的垃圾中淘到一件稀世珍品。

我们再来看一下这个句子,它是这样写的:

In everyday life, people tend to have a different approach to those (whom) they consider their equals from that which they assume with people (whom) they consider higher or lower than themselves in the social scale.

Though my aunt pursued what was, in those days, an enlightened policy, in that she never allowed her domestic staff to work more than eight hours a day, she was extremely difficult to please.

托福阅读文章中曾出现过一个典型的长句。其难度更胜GRE:In everyday life, people tend to have a different approach to those they consider their equals from that which they assume with people they consider higher or lower than themselves in the social scale.

句子的主干为people tend to have a different approach from that,其中that为代词,指代approach,此处译为“方式”最为贴切,因此主干的意思很简单:“人们倾向于采用一种方式,与其它方式不同。”

句子开头为Though引起的状语,动词pursue的宾语是一个由what引起的名词性从句,在插入了一个非常书面的in that(意思相当于since)引起的从句之后,终于出现了主句she was extremely difficult to please。这种一步步将句子意思推向高潮的写法就是英文中非常有气势的“圆周句”,直到句子的末尾,作者最终的意思才被揭晓。全句可以这样理解:“(尽管)姑妈对待佣人们的做法在当时那个年代算是开明的,(因为她)从不让佣人们每天干活超过8个小时,但佣人们还是很难让她感到满意。”

代词that后紧跟which引导的从句充当that,即the approach的定语。此外,句中还有两个省略了whom的定语从句,将之补全如下:

全句直译如下:在日常生活中,人们用一种方式对待他们认为与自己社会地位同等的人,而用另一种的方式去对待他们认为比自己社会地位高或低的人。

对于这种长句的准确分析,需要日积月累的语言知识及良好语感,大家在托福阅读备考过程中,千万不能忽视真题演练。
