托福阅读的必备技巧:
精读与泛读
单词:
想要做好托福阅读,背托福单词是最基础的。
这个就是需要学员自己完成任务。
但是尤为重要的一点是,托福考试中,对单词的考查不仅仅是背过单词含义就可以,更重要的是要学会应用,学会在文章中理解使用单词。
句子:
同中文的一句一句短小的句子不同,英文中的句子多是长句,有时候一个句子就是一段。
而且英文的句子多是主从复合句,以中式的思维逻辑来学习会很不习惯,不能适应句子的语序。
这就需要托福考生在平时的训练中多读多看,扩大泛读。
段落:
托福阅读的文章大多都是学术性比较强的文章,在学习中,会应用到TS+D和TS+D的变形方式的做题方法。
具体TS+D是什么,应该怎么用,在这里,姜老师给我们留了一个悬念,“关于TS+D会在托福强化班的课程中讲到,想要知道怎么用来上强化班就知道啦。
”
篇章:
像托福的题型之一--小结题,就会用到对全篇的把握和理解。
掌握对于全文的思维路线做这类题就会比较容易了。
对于全文的拐角,转弯处把握好了,全文的意思也就差不多了。
做题的时候还有注意对细节的把握。
有的学生会觉得托福阅读的题量很大,时间不够用,做不完题。
“其实这是因为学生在做题的时候没有做到详略得当。
把握好精读和泛读的区别,找准需要精读的地方,做起题来会又快又准。
