技巧一：熟用定位法
托福閱讀的考試一個(gè)小時(shí)完成三篇，平均每篇20分鐘。20分鐘要括完成閱讀700字左右的文章，以及12-14到題目，括看題目以及四個(gè)選項(xiàng)。時(shí)間是非常緊張的。如果毫無(wú)目的的先看文章，在看題目，在回頭找答案是非常耗時(shí)的。面對(duì)托福的閱讀的主流題型-事實(shí)信息題（3-5個(gè)/篇）來(lái)說(shuō)，用題目里的關(guān)鍵字定位到文章找到關(guān)鍵句，然后進(jìn)行同義轉(zhuǎn)換，既省時(shí)又能提升正確率。
巧二：善抓邏輯詞
邏輯詞的考點(diǎn)在托福閱讀的多種題型中都有反應(yīng)
1）事實(shí)信息題中以why開(kāi)頭的題目，考的就是因果邏輯關(guān)系。
段落里出現(xiàn)“therefore，due to，accordingly，as a result，hence，as“的時(shí)候就代表前后是因果的邏輯關(guān)系。
2）句子簡(jiǎn)化題
此題型考察的是句子內(nèi)部的邏輯關(guān)系，可以通過(guò)句子中的邏輯詞直接鎖定答案。
以TPO China Pottery這篇為例
The tradition of religious sculpture extends over most historical periods but is less clearly delineated than that of stone wares or porcelains,for it embraces the old custom of earthenware burial ceramics with later religious images and architectural ornament.
A.While?stonewares?and?porcelains?are?found?throughout?most?historical?
periods,?religious sculpture?is?limited?to?the?ancient?period.
B.Religious?sculpture?was?created?in?most?periods,?but?its?history?is?less?
clear?than?that?of stone wares?or porcelains?because?some old?forms?
continued?to?be?used?even?when?new?ones?were?developedC.While?stonewares?and?porcelains?changed?throughout?history,?religious?
sculpture?remained uniform?in?form?and?use.
D.The?historical?development?of?religious?sculpture?is?relatively?unclear?
because?religious sculptures?sometimes?resemble?earthenware?architectural?ornaments.
這句話里面有明顯的兩個(gè)邏輯詞“but”和for”。已經(jīng)非常清楚了表明了這個(gè)句子兩個(gè)重要的點(diǎn)，for應(yīng)該理解為因?yàn)?。整句話?yīng)該理解為：宗教雕塑的傳統(tǒng)貫穿了中國(guó)歷史的大部分時(shí)期，但是它們不像粗陶器或者瓷器那樣在歷史中描述的那么清楚，因?yàn)樗伺阍崽沾傻呐f工藝，又用到了后來(lái)的宗教雕塑和建筑裝飾。那么B答案也有非明顯的相對(duì)應(yīng)的邏輯詞but和because，直接鎖定B答案。然后在看下句子的表達(dá)的意思是完全正確的。
3）句子插入題
此題型考察的是句子與句子之間的內(nèi)部邏輯關(guān)系
以真題“Origins of the Megaliths”為例
Renfrew has studied two circumscribed areas,the Scottish islands of Arran and Rousay,to examine this hypothesis more closely.■He found that a division of the arable land into territories,each containing one megalith,results in units that correspond in size to the individual farming communities of recent times in the same area.■Each unit supported between 10 and 50 people.■The labor needed to put up a megalith would probably be beyond the capabilities of a community this size.■But Renfrew argues that the cooperation of other communities could be secured by some form of recognized social incentive perhaps a period of feasting at which communal building was one of several activities.
插入的句子：So it might seem that megaliths could not have been used by an individual community to mark its land.
So表示結(jié)果，結(jié)果是這些megaliths有可能不是一個(gè)community在用。那么前面應(yīng)該會(huì)講導(dǎo)致此觀點(diǎn)的原因。D前面“the labor needed to put up a megalith would probably be beyond the capabilities of a community this size”.修建需要的人手可能超過(guò)了一個(gè)社區(qū)的尺寸（暗示無(wú)法完成）。D之后轉(zhuǎn)折講通過(guò)feasting方式解決。
技巧三：縷清段落結(jié)構(gòu)跟文章結(jié)構(gòu)
修辭目的題的題型簡(jiǎn)單來(lái)說(shuō)就是考察學(xué)生對(duì)段落結(jié)構(gòu)的把握。題型會(huì)問(wèn)作者提到的一個(gè)example或者文章中做的實(shí)驗(yàn)的目的是什么。Example跟experiment的details不重要。最關(guān)鍵要找論點(diǎn)。把握段落結(jié)構(gòu)就能把握住題型。
小結(jié)題也就是所有文章的最后一個(gè)題型6選3的題型，所選的答案是要能反應(yīng)段落主旨的。
一般來(lái)說(shuō)例子，具體的details都不能去選擇，因?yàn)椴荒芊磻?yīng)段落主旨。答案一定是能反應(yīng)段落主旨的。此題型考察的是學(xué)生能否把握住文章結(jié)構(gòu)。比如現(xiàn)象解釋說(shuō)明文，一般文章開(kāi)頭提出現(xiàn)象以后，后面幾個(gè)段落都是在解釋為什么會(huì)出現(xiàn)此現(xiàn)象的。
