這個(gè)題型令不少考生無(wú)從下手,尤其是在時(shí)間壓力之下,只能在有限的兩三分鐘時(shí)間里匆忙應(yīng)對(duì),甚至根本就沒(méi)有時(shí)間而胡亂蒙之。本文天道小編為大家介紹關(guān)于prose summary題型的新托福閱讀技巧,對(duì)大家備考新托福閱讀有所幫助。
要想做好這個(gè)題型,我們首先要從OG中對(duì)于這個(gè)題型的說(shuō)明入手,看看題型的定義能不能幫我們找到一點(diǎn)處理的對(duì)策。
Prose Summary Questions:
These items measure your ability to understand and recognize the major ideas and the relative importance of information in a passage. You will be asked to select the major ideas in the passage by distinguishing them from minor ideas or ideas that are not in the passage. The correct answer choice will synthesize major ideas in the passage. Because the correct answer represents a synthesis of ideas, it will not match any particular sentence from the passage. To select the correct answer, you will need to create a mental framework to organize and remember major ideas and other important information. Understanding the relative importance of information in a passage is critical to this ability.
——P50-51 from OG 3rd edition
“These items measure your ability to understand and recognize the major ideas and the relative importance of information in a passage.”從這句話中,我們能看出Prose summary題型要求我們總結(jié)整篇文章的主要觀點(diǎn)和相對(duì)重要的信息。
我們先對(duì)“相對(duì)重要的信息”做一下分析。一篇托福閱讀文章大約700單詞左右,一共會(huì)出14道題目。其中的13題可以認(rèn)為是細(xì)節(jié)題,而第14題一般為 Prose summary(還有一種是Fill in a Table Questions, 比較少見(jiàn))。
那么,前面的13道題會(huì)出在文章中的什么地方呢?通過(guò)多篇文章的比對(duì),我們可以發(fā)現(xiàn)這些題目多數(shù)集中在文章的重要信息處。那么這對(duì)我們做最后一題有什么幫助呢?我們這樣來(lái)想——既然文章中重要的地方都出題了,那么我們也可以認(rèn)為出題的地方都是文章中的重要內(nèi)容。
因此,我們做Prose summary的第一種方法就出現(xiàn)了——回憶之前出過(guò)的題。我們可以認(rèn)為,如果Prose summary的某個(gè)選項(xiàng)和前面13道題中的某道題目描述的含義基本相同,那么這個(gè)選項(xiàng)極有可能就是正確答案。我們來(lái)看兩道例題:
例一:TPO15 P1 Q14
The leatherback turtle uses a countercurrent exchange system in order to keep the flippers from drawing heat away from the rest of the body.
這個(gè)選項(xiàng)重復(fù)了第8題;
The leatherback turtle is able to maintain body heat through sheer size.
這個(gè)選項(xiàng)重復(fù)了第5題的出題句;
Leatherbacks have an insulating layer that can be considered the reptilian version of blubber.
這個(gè)選項(xiàng)重復(fù)了第4題的出題點(diǎn)。
例二:TPO14 P1 Q13
Children may not be able to interpret exaggerated claims made by advertisers or understand the disclaimers used to offset claims.
這個(gè)選項(xiàng)重復(fù)了第3、4題;
Although the use of celebrities is not necessarily effective in advertisements aimed at children, there is evidence that host selling can positively affect their views of a product.
這個(gè)選項(xiàng)對(duì)應(yīng)第9、10題;
The use of fantasy is especially common in advertisements for children, but children may not be able to distinguish fantasy from reality.
這個(gè)選項(xiàng)實(shí)際就是第12題的再現(xiàn)。
通過(guò)對(duì)以上兩篇文章的分析,我們發(fā)現(xiàn)Prose summary的正確選項(xiàng)基本是重復(fù)前面出過(guò)的題目。當(dāng)然,這也不是特別絕對(duì)的,有些Prose summary的題目只有兩個(gè)選項(xiàng)對(duì)應(yīng)了前面的某幾道題。但是,通過(guò)這個(gè)方法,我們一般能保證在2分里面至少取得1分。
