托福阅读总超时怎么办

在备考托福阅读过程中，大家一般专注于学习并练习解题技巧，提高正确率。而时间问题，一般会随着正确率的提升而自然而然得解决。但是总有部分同学，在备考过程中会遇到超时的问题：虽然正确率比较高，但是时间会超出20分钟;更甚者，即超时，正确率也不高。今天编就带大家分析造成超时问题的原因，并浅谈超时问题的解决方案。

托福阅读总超时怎么办?

1、首先，超时问题要结合正确率，才可以客观地进行分析。

脱离正确率谈超时或者脱离时间问题单独看正确率，都是有失偏颇的。正如第一段中提到，超时情况大致可以分为两种：虽然正确率比较高，但是时间会超出20分钟;更甚者，既超时，正确率也不高。

首先是正确率不高同时还有较为严重的超时问题。造成这种现象的原因，有一部分一定是基础不够夯实。

托福的基础能力主要包括充足的词汇量以及快速精准地理解句意。如果在大幅度超时的前提下，还是无法取得较高做题的正确率，那么基本可以估计，这位同学的词汇量不足，并且理解句子也可能未必能做到快速且准确。

所以如果是受到这个类似问题困扰的同学，那么在复习的过程中，就需要做到一下几点：

1、暂时停止做阅读题

2、开始背单词，并进行长难句翻译练习(新航道标准课程设置B阶段的托福阅读课都会提供长难句翻译训练)

3、完成单词背诵以及长难句翻译练习后(根据自己每日的学习时间安排，如果每天2小时不间断，大概1-1.5个月可以背完一遍单词)，开始结合老师上课传授的做题技巧进行阅读题目的练习，并在练习过程中注意做题速度。

按照上述步骤进行备考，将正确率提高到80% 以上(22/23分左右的水平)之后，再考虑进一步提高正确率，正确高分甚至满分。所有托福备考的同学都需要注意，先夯实词句的基础，再结合做题技巧，不要舍本逐末。

2、第二种情况：虽然正确率比较高，但是时间会超出20分钟。

遇到这种问题的同学，需要先明确一点：因超时而取得的高正确率，是虚假的正确。正确率计算方法：超出规定时间后完成的题目，就算错误。

所以首先，超时是一个严重影响考试成绩的问题。考场上倒计时归零即无法再做题，没做的题目都是无法得分。因此，平时的超时一定要引起重视。其次是了解造成超时的原因。

一般正确率较高，只是超时3-5分钟左右的同学，原因大致可以分为以下几个：

1、某种类型的题目不太擅长，解题耗时过久

2、对于某种类型的文章因为缺乏相对应的专门的学科词汇储备粮和一定的学科背景知识，而造成对于某些专门学科的文章的阅读较慢，做题较慢，从而造成超时

3、紧张，从而导致文章需要看好几遍才能让大脑考试进行理解，前期读3-4遍都是放空状态，无法理解。

3、导致原因3有可能是心理问题。

考试会紧张的同学，考前多放松，放下心理包袱，轻松上阵。不要怕，就是干!

如果主要是原因2造成的超时，可以进行专门的特定学科词汇背诵并补充背景知识，同时练习相应学科的文章。

如果是原因1，可以进行专项题型的分析，解题技巧的学习，再进行专项练习，找到该题型做题较慢的原因，进而对症下药。

不同的题型，造成超时的原因不尽相同，不能统一归因，具体问题具体分析。

简单来说，超时是一个会造成正确率偏低的严重问题，需要大家引起重视。切记，脱离时间谈的正确率，都是假的，假的，假的!

托福阅读速度太慢可能是这三方面原因导致的!

一.只背单词不做练习

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，却不曾正眼看过官方真题Official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，那我们就必须把官方真题Official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。

二.不分析文章结构

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。

三.阅读时候没有英文思维

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。

Cities develop as a result of functions that they can perform. Some functions result directly from the ingenuity of the citizenry, but most functions result from the needs of the local area and of the surrounding hinterland (the region that supplies goods to the city and to which the city furnishes services and other goods). Geographers often make a distinction between the situation and the site of a city. Situation refers to the general position in relation to the surrounding region, whereas site involves physical characteristics of the specific location. Situation is normally much more important to the continuing prosperity of a city. If a city is well situated in regard to its hinterland, its development is much more likely to continue. Chicago, for example, possesses an almost unparalleled situation: it is located at the southern end of a huge lake that forces east-west transportation lines to be compressed into its vicinity, and at a meeting of significant land and water transport routes. It also overlooks what is one of the world's finest large farming regions. These factors ensured that Chicago would become a great city regardless of the disadvantageous characteristics of the available site, such as being prone to flooding during thunderstorm activity.

Similarly, it can be argued that much of New York City's importance stems from its early and continuing advantage of situation. Philadelphia and Boston both originated at about the same time as New York and shared New York's location at the western end of one of the world's most important oceanic trade routes, but only New York possesses an easy-access functional connection (the Hudson-Mohawk lowland) to the vast Midwestern hinterland. This account does not alone explain New York's primacy, but it does include several important factors. Among the many aspects of situation that help to explain why some cities grow and others do not, original location on a navigable waterway seems particularly applicable. Of course, such characteristic as slope, drainage, power resources, river crossings, coastal shapes, and other physical characteristics help to determine city location, but such factors are normally more significant in early stages of city development than later.

The Harlem Renaissance, a movement of the 1920's, marked the twentieth century's first period of intense activity by African Americans in the field of literature, art, and music in the United States. The philosophy of the movement combined realism, ethnic consciousness, and Americanism. Encouraged by the example of certain Americans of European descent such as Thomas Eakins, Robert Henri, and George Luks, who had included persons of African descent in their paintings as serious studies rather than as trivial or sentimental stereotypes, African American artists of this period set about creating a new portrayal of themselves and their lives in the United States. As they began to strive for social and cultural independence. Their attitudes toward themselves changed, and, to some extent, other segments of American society began to change their attitudes toward them. Thus, though the Harlem Renaissance was a short-lived movement, its impact on American art and culture continues to the present.

The district in New York City known as Harlem was the capital of the movement. In 1925 an issue of Survey Graphic magazine devoted exclusively to Harlem and edited by philosopher Alain Locke became the manifesto of the African American artistic movement. Locke strongly suggested that individuals, while accepting their Americanism, take pride in their African ancestral arts and urged artists to look to Africa for substance and inspiration. Far from advocating a withdrawal from American culture, as did some of his contemporaries, Locke recommended a cultural pluralism through which artists could enrich the culture of America. African Americans were urged by Locke to be collaborators and participators with other Americans in art, literature, and music; and at the same time to preserve, enhance, and promote their own cultural heritage.

Artists and intellectuals from many parts of the United States and the Caribbean had been attracted to Harlem by the pulse and beat of its unique and dynamic culture. From this unity created by the convergence of artists from various social and geographical backgrounds came a new spirit, which, particularly in densely populated Harlem, was to result in greater group awareness and self-determination. African American graphic artists took their place beside the poets and writers of the Harlem Renaissance and carried on efforts to increase and promote the visual arts.

1. What does the passage mainly discuss?

(A) African American paintings in the 1920's

(B) An arts movement of the 1920's

(D) Some ways in which African culture inspired American literature, art and music

2. According to the passage , Tomas Eakins, Robert Henri, and George Luks were important because of

(A) the philosophical contributions they made to the Harlem Renaissance

(B) their development of a new style of African American art

(D) their independence from European artistic traditions

(A) Americans of European descent

(B) paintings
