如何避開托福閱讀考試的陷阱

 托福閱讀中的細(xì)節(jié)題其實(shí)不難，但前提是定位的點(diǎn)要對(duì)，比如下面這個(gè)例題：

Two species of deer have been prevalent in the Puget Sound area of Washington State in the Pacific Northwest of the United States. The black-tailed deer， a lowland， west-side cousin of the mule deer of eastern Washington， is now the most common. The other species， the Columbian white-tailed deer， in earlier times was common in the open prairie country， is now restricted to the low， marshy islands and flood plains along the lower Columbia River.

According to paragraph 1， which of the following is true of the white-tailed deer of Puget Sound?

A. It is native to lowlands and marshes.

B. It is more closely related to the mule deer of eastern Washington than to other types of deer.

C. It has replaced the black-tailed deer in the open prairie.

D. It no longer lives in a particular type of habitat that it once occupied.

這是一個(gè)典型的細(xì)節(jié)題，在該題題干中，有的考生會(huì)選擇"Puget Sound"作為關(guān)鍵詞回原文定位，因?yàn)樗�是專有名詞，在文中會(huì)比較顯眼。但是如果一旦選擇了這個(gè)地名，勢(shì)必會(huì)定位在該段的第一句話，托福細(xì)節(jié)題往往是定位在哪句就在哪句找答案，這樣的話考生是選不出正確答案的，因?yàn)槎ㄎ徊痪�確。其實(shí)正確的關(guān)鍵詞應(yīng)該是"White-tailed Deer"，這個(gè)用連字符連接的詞在文章中也是比較醒目的，按該詞定位應(yīng)是該段最后一句話。所以根據(jù)它的意思應(yīng)該選D項(xiàng)。其中A項(xiàng)與原句意思不符，B和C都與定位句信息無關(guān)。

所以說在做托福閱讀部分時(shí)，應(yīng)該快慢相結(jié)合，即例子句，修飾句等可以略讀，文章首段、每段首尾句等都要精讀，尤其是問題，一定要確保每個(gè)單詞都讀到，這樣才能從總體上把握出題人到底問什么，才不會(huì)掉入出題人提前設(shè)置好的誤區(qū)圈套中。
