深度解析托福阅读的规律
新托福阅读考试有什么规律呢?这是很难用三言两语表达清楚的。下面和一起了解一下吧!
首先，新托福阅读考试所考察的，就是你是否理解“I am fine.”或者“I am good.”的准确意思。准备听力和阅读的一切时间，都要花在让自己快速准确的理解文章或者原文上。这就是新托福考试阅读和听力的规律。当然，你会觉得这一点很简单，那么试着来翻译一下这句话试试，看看你能不能在30秒之内翻译准确。It is said that the public and Congressional concern about deceptive packaging rumpus started because Senator Hart discovered that the boxes of cereals consumed by him, Mrs. Hart, and their children were being higher and narrower, with a decline of weight from 12 to 10 1/2 ounces, without any reduction in price.
准备好了么?
正确的疑问应该是：据说：公众和议会对于欺骗性包装的喧嚣的担心开始了，因为参议员哈特发现，他与他的妻子和孩子所购买的那些谷物的盒子正在越来越高越来越窄，重量从12盎司减少到10.5盎司，但是在价格上却没有任何的减少。
可能错误的点：1 是“担心”开始，而不是“喧嚣”开始。 2 consume不是谓语动词，而是一个后置定语。 3 这里并不是妻子和孩子越来越高，越来越瘦，而是麦片的盒子越来越高，越来越瘦。
看到这里，很多考友该明白了自己在托福阅读备考中努力的方向了吧。多背单词，多分析语法，才是正路!新托福阅读考试考的就是有没有读懂，理解的都是错的，怎么做题!
Two conservative Republican lawmakers, Congressman Steve King (R-Iowa) and Senator Jim Inhofe (R-Okla.), introduced the English Language Unity Act of xx on Friday, a bill that requires that all official United States government functions be conducted in English.
美国共和党众议员Steve King和参议员Jim Inhofe最近提案(the English Language Unity Act of xx)，要将英语定为美国政府的官方工作语言。
"A mon language is the most powerful unifying force known throughout history," King said in a release. "We need to encourage assimilation of all legal immigrants in each
generation. A nation divided by language cannot pull together as effectively as a people."
King说：“上拥有最强的凝聚力的无疑就是统一的语言，我们要促进合法移民尽快融入美国社会。一个语言众多纷乱的国家无法团结一致。”
Added Inhofe: "This legislation will provide much-needed monality among United States citizens, regardless of heritage. As a nation built by immigrants, it is important that we share one vision and one official language."
Inhofe补充道：“这项立案将在不同背景的美国公民间建立起共通性。美国这样拥有很多移民的国家，更加需要一种统一的官方语言和目标。”
In response to the measure, Democratic Rep. Jose Serrano of New York addressed reporters in Spanish Friday, asking them, "o esta?" (That's Spanish for "how are you?") He said the bill reflects a non-issue that noheless es up every once in a while.
纽约的民主党众议员Jose Serrano唱起了反调，在周五的记者会上用西班牙语向大家问好。他说这项完全毫无意义，而这种东西每隔一段时间就会有人拿出来炒冷饭。
Serrano added that while it's natural for grandparents speak Spanish, second generations are pletely bilingual. With the third generation, he said, the grandmother is always plaining about the kids' Spanish and why they don't play soer.
Serrano说上一辈的移民或许只会讲西班牙语，但年轻一代差不多
都是讲双语的。上一辈的人会对年轻人糟糕的西班牙语表示不满，不明白他们为什么不玩，不沿袭自己的传统。
Aording to the advocacy group U.S. English, Inc., more than 700 members of Congress have co-sponsored or voted for measures on making English the official U.S. government language dating back to 1981. The English Language Unity Act attracted 140 co-sponsors when introduced in the last Congress.
倡导的组织U.S. English, Inc.统计表明，自1981年起，有超过700名国会成员参与共同提案或同意将英语定为美国的官方语言。上一次同样的议案在国会赢得了140人的共同提案。
___寒假刚刚结束，而随着结束的还有前段时间一直在热播的韩剧《星星的你》。在这部韩剧中，我们一下子迷上了外星人“都教授”，就如同爱屋及乌这句话所说的，既然迷恋“都教授”，那么咱们就趁热一块来看看托福阅读中与“星星”有关的背景知识，一块来对这些“星星”着迷吧。
天文学的文章在托福阅读中出现的频率并不是特别高，比如 xx年已经出现的5场托福考试中(截止到3月2日)，天文学的文章并未出现，就是xx年的43场考试中天文学的文章在咱们阅读中也仅仅出现过10篇。虽然出现的文章不多，但每一篇文章的内容都涉及的不一样，所以可以说我们通过这10篇文章可以获得相当多的天文学知识。
首先咱们先来一块熟悉一下八大行星 (Pla : 行星 )：
Mercury: ['m?kj?ri]
Venus : ['vi?n?s] 金星
Earth: [??θ] 地球
Mars: [mɑrz] n. 火星
Jupiter : ['d?u?p?t?] n. [天] 木星
Saturn: ['s?t(?)n] n. 土星
Uranus: ['ju?r?n?s] n. 天王星
Neptune: ['n?ptjun] n.海王星
对于这八大行星，我们再进行细分的话可以分成两组，分别是：the terrestrial pla (类地行星)和the Jovian pla (类木行星)。类
地行星包括：水星，金星，地球和火星;类木行星包括：木星，土星，天王星和海王星。这两大类行星的区别在于它们的大小、密度和构成成分各不相同。类地行星的结构大致相同：一个主要是铁的金属中心，外层则被硅酸盐地幔所包围。它们的表面一般都有峡谷、陨石坑、山和火山。相比较类木行星来说，类地行星的体积要小的多。而类木行星也称作气体行星，它们的共同特点是其主要由氢、氦、冰、甲烷、氨等构成。是不是同学们会感觉上面的知识很
熟悉，是的，这部分知识在咱们TPO16的Plas in our solar system中就有介绍。
简单的了解完这八大行星的分类之后，咱们再来看看机经中所涉及到的几个行星。在xx年出现的机经中所涉及到的行星有：火星，木星和金星以及咱们人类所居住的地球。
当然说起火星，我们还不得不提起一个人，这人就是商人及天文学家帕西瓦尔·洛厄尔 (Percival Lowell)。帕西瓦尔·洛厄尔在美国的亚利桑那州自建了一个天文望远台，研究火星15年，而且通过观察发现火星上存在水从而推测火星上存在生命。所以在我们学到的TPO8的Running water on Mars或是阅读机经(xx.3.24ML)中就针对火星上的水和是否有生命出过相关的文章。当然目前的研究得出的信息告诉我们火星上曾经有过水的痕迹，但是确未发现有任何生命迹象。对于帕西瓦尔·洛厄尔来说，他在观测星星的过程中，还计算出了另外一颗星星的存在，这颗星星就是已经被降级为矮行星(dwarf pla)的冥王星(Pluto)。虽然在帕西瓦尔·洛厄尔在世的时候他本人并未真正找到冥王星，最终发现冥王星的人是克莱德·威廉·汤博。汤博把这颗新星星取名冥王星，这名字的头两个字母P和L正好是珀西瓦尔·洛厄尔的姓名的开头字母。
大体了解完火星之后咱们再来看一下木星。木星是太阳系八大行星中体积和质量最大的行星，也是自转最快的行星。可能由于它的这些特点所以才会用罗马神话中主神朱庇特Jupiter的名字来命名它。(罗马神话中的主神朱庇特相当于希腊神话中的宙斯)。木星的卫星(卫星：sa ___ite或是moon)特别多，现在已发现的就有66颗卫星了。在这些卫星中当卫一到木卫四这四颗卫星最亮，而这四颗卫星则是由非常著名的学家及天文学家伽利略发现的。木星的这些卫星的名字也特别有意思，并且已经有50多颗木星卫星拥有了自己的名字，而它们的名字则都是用与主神朱庇特有关系的女人的名字命名的，在这之中仅有木卫三是以一男人的名字命名的除外。在xx 年9.14的大陆考试中就出现了一篇文章提到了木星的两颗卫星：木卫三(Ganymede)和木卫四(Callisto)。
最后咱们再来了解一下金星。金星是最亮的一颗星星，它的亮度要比著名的天狼星(sirius )还要亮14倍，就如同一颗耀眼的钻石，所以我们用罗马神话中最美的神仙维纳斯(Venus)的名字来命名它。金星没有卫星，它和我们居住的地球称为“姊妹星”，因为金星跟地球有很多的形似的地方，比如从结构上看，金星的半径约为6073公里，只比地球半径小300公里，体积是地球的0.88倍，质量为地球的4/5;平均密度略小于地球。虽说如此，但两者的环境却有天壤之别，因为金星距离太阳比较近的缘故，所以金星的表面温度很高，不可能存在液态水。金星的大气成分多为二氧化碳，因此它的
地表具有强烈的温室效应其大气压大约是地球的90倍。极高的大气压力和严重缺氧等残酷的条件，表明金星上不可能存在生命。在xx 年10月12日的大陆考题中就有一篇阅读是讲金星，火星和地球的。

老托福阅读真题 (11)
2002年8月TOEFL试题 Section Three: Reading Comprehension Question 1-9 Often enough the craft worker’s place of employment in ancient Greece was set in rural isolation. Potter, for instance, found it convenient to locate their workshops near their source of clay, regardless of its relation to the center of settlement, At Corinth and Athens, however, two of the best-known potters’ quarters were situated on the cities’ outskirts, and potters and makers of terra-cotta figurines were also established well within the city of Athens itself. The techniques of pottery manufacture had evolved well before the Greek period, but marked stylistic developments occurred in shape and in decoration, for example, in the interplay of black and other glazes with the red surface of the fired pot. Athenian black-figure and red-figure decoration, which emphasized human figures rather than animal images, was adopted between 630 and 530 B.C.；its distinctive color and luster were the result of the skillful adjustments of the kiln’s temperat ure during an extended three-stage period if firing the clayware. Whether it was the potters or the vase-painters who initiated changes in firing is unclear; the functions of making and decorating were usually divided between them, but neither group can have been so specialized the they did not share in the concerns of the other. The broad utility of terra-cotta was such that workers in clay could generally afford to confine themselves to either decorated ware and housewares like cooking pots and storage Jars or building materials like roof tiles and drainpipes, some sixth-and fifth-century B.C. Athenian pottery establishments are known to have concentrated on a limited range of fine ware, but a rural pottery establishment on the island of Thasos produced many types of pottery and roof tiles too, presumably to meet local demand. Molds were used to create particular effects for some products, such as relief-decorated vessels and figurines; for other products such as roof tiles, which were needed in some quantity, they were used to facilitate mass production. There were also a number of poor-quality figurines and painted pots produced in quantity by easy, inexpensive means- as numerous featureless statuettes and unattractive cases testify. 1. The passage mainly discusses ancient Greek pottery and its (A) production techniques (B) similarity to other crafts (C) unusual materials (D) resemblance to earlier pottery 2. The phrase “regardless of” in line 3 is closest in meaning to (A) as a result of (B) no matter what (C) proud of (D) according to 3. It can be inferred from the passage that most pottery establishments in ancient Greece were situated (A) in city centers (B) on the outskirts of cities (C) where clay could be found (D) near other potters’ workshops 4. The word “marked” in line 7 is closest in meaning to

托福阅读评分标准解析
托福阅读评分标准解析 托福阅读评分标准解析, 备考前先了解评分规则,今天给大家带来了托福阅读评分标准解析，希望能够帮助到到大家，下面就和大家分享，来欣赏一下吧。 一.托福阅读评分标准 新托福阅读每篇题量为12-14题，每篇阅读除了最后一道题为2分外，其余题目分值都是1分，所以托福阅读总的原始分值为45分。所以。同学们如果在考试中因为时间问题迫不得已要舍弃一道题目时，尽量不要舍弃小结题。一般情况下，这类题目是多选题，6个中选择3个，选错一个扣一分，错2个或3个不得分。具体的评分标准如下表： 如果阅读遇到加试，也有可能会影响阅读成绩。那么阅读加试是如何影响阅读成绩的呢?考试中只有一部分考生会遇到阅读加试，没有遇到加试的考试成绩不会有变动，按照上述评分标准来评分。但是参加加试的考生成绩可能会因为加试题目的情况，成绩产生一些变动，具体细则如下： (1)如果考试正确率比加试正确率高，说明考题偏容易，也就是高分档的学生比较多，那么ETS将给分数的分布作相应的调整，也就是
给一些高分的学生减分。给哪些学生减分呢?当然是加试做得不好的学生。 (2)如果考试正确率比加试正确率低，说明考题偏难，也就是低分档的学生比较多，那么ETS将给分数的分布作相应的调整，也就是给一些低分的学生加分。给哪些学生加分呢?当然是加试做得好的学生。 (3)如果考试正确率和加试正确率持平，实现了正态分布，考生的分数则不需要调整了。 之所以分数有波动是因为ETS为了在考生水平有波动的情况下，仍然能够给予考生一个相对较为公平的分数 怎么样排除托福阅读的错误选项.托福阅读中的题目类型比较丰富，其中一种托福阅读题型要求大家排掉错误的选项，那么面对这种托福阅读题该怎么办呢?下面就来看看看具体方法。 排除题这种托福阅读题型很好辨认，每篇阅读0-2题，比较简单，一般就是在题干中会出现一个大写的单词EXCEPT、NOT、LESS。这是特别不受我们中国同学待见的一种题，因为从逻辑思维的角度上来说，要想从四个选项中把错误的那一个给找出来，我们要在大脑

They continue to look for better ways to increase egg production and to improve chick survival rates. When parrots incubate their eggs in the wild, the temperature and humidity of the nest are controlled naturally. Heat is transferred from the bird's skin to the top portion of the eggshell, leaving the sides and bottom of the egg at a cooler temperature. This temperature gradient may be vital to successful hatching. Nest construction can contribute to this temperature gradient. Nests of loosely arranged sticks, rocks, or dirt are cooler in temperature at the bottom where the egg contacts the nesting material. Such nests also act as humidity regulators by allowing rain to drain into the bottom sections of the nest so that the eggs are not in direct contact with the water. As the water that collects in the bottom of the nest evaporates, the water vapor rises and is heated by the incubating bird, which adds significant humidity to the incubation environment. In artificial incubation programs, aviculturists remove eggs from the nests of parrots and incubate them under laboratory conditions. Most commercial incubators heat the eggs fairly evenly from top to bottom, thus ignoring the bird's method of natural incubation, and perhaps reducing the viability and survivability of the hatching chicks. When incubators are not used, aviculturists sometimes suspend wooden boxes outdoors to use as nests in which to place eggs. In areas where weather can become cold after eggs are laid, it is very important to maintain a deep foundation of nesting material to act as insulator against the cold bottom of the box. If eggs rest against the wooden bottom in extremely cold weather conditions, they can become chilled to a point where the embryo can no longer survive. Similarly, these boxes should be protected from direct sunlight to avoid high temperatures that are also fatal to the growing embryo. Nesting material should be added in sufficient amounts to avoid both extreme temperature situations mentioned above and assure that the eggs have a soft, secure place to rest. 1. What is the main idea of the passage ? (A) Nesting material varies according to the parrots' environment. (B) Humidity is an important factor in incubating parrots' eggs. (C) Aviculturists have constructed the ideal nest box for parrots. (D) Wild parrots' nests provide information useful for artificial incubation. 2. The word "They" in line 2 refers to
老托福阅读真题及答案：PASSAGE 19
老托福阅读真题及答案：PASSAGE 19 The principal difference between urban growth in Europe and in the North American colonies was the slow evolution of cities in the former and their rapid growth in the latter. In Europe they grew over a period of centuries from town economies to their present urban structure. In North America, they started as wilderness communities and developed to mature urbanism in little more than a century. In the early colonial days in North America, small cities sprang up along the Atlantic Coastline, mostly in what are now New England and Middle Atlantic states in the United States and in the lower Saint Lawrence valley in Canada. This was natural because these areas were nearest to England and France, particularly England, from which most capital goods (assets such as equipment) and many consumer goods were imported. Merchandising establishments were, accordingly, advantageously located in port cities from which goods could be readily distributed to interior settlements. Here, too, were the favored locations for processing raw materials prior to export. Boston, Philadelphia, New York, Montreal, and other cities flourished, and, as the colonies grew, these cities increased in importance. This was less true in the colonial South, where life centered around large farms, known as plantations, rather than around towns, as was the case in the areas further north along the Atlantic coastline. The local isolation and the economic self-sufficiency of the plantations were antagonistic to the development of the towns. The plantations maintained their independence because they were located on navigable streams and each had a wharf accessible to the small shipping of that day. In fact, one of the strongest factors in the selection of plantation land was the desire to have its front on a water highway. When the United States became an independent nation in 1776, it did not have a single city as large as 50,000 inhabitants, but by 1820 it had a city of more than 10,000 people, and by 1880 it had recorded a city of over one million. It was not until after 1823, after the mechanization of the spinning had weaving industries,

The biologist Orator F. Cook was the first to coin the term 'speciation' for the splitting of lineages or "cladogenesis," as opposed to "anagenesis" or "phyletic evolution" occurring within lineages. Charles Darwin was the first to describe the role of natural selection in speciation.There is research comparing the intensity of sexual selection in different clades with their number of species. There are four geographic modes of speciation in nature, based on the extent to which speciating populations are isolated from one another： allopatric, peripatric, parapatric, and sympatric. Speciation may also be induced artificially, through animal husbandry, agriculture, or laboratory experiments. Whether genetic drift is a minor or major contributor to speciation is the subject matter of much ongoing discussion. All forms of natural speciation have taken place over the course of evolution; however, debate persists as to the relative importance of each mechanism in driving biodiversity. One example of natural speciation is the diversity of the three-spined stickleback, a marine fish that, after the last
老托福阅读真题及答案：PASSAGE 11
老托福阅读真题及答案：PASSAGE 11 Plants are subject to attack and infection by a remarkable variety of symbiotic species and have evolved a diverse array of mechanisms designed to frustrate the potential colonists. These can be divided into preformed or passive defense mechanisms and inducible or active systems. Passive plant defense comprises physical and chemical barriers that prevent entry of pathogens, such as bacteria, or render tissues unpalatable or toxic to the invader. The external surfaces of plants, in addition to being covered by an epidermis and a waxy cuticle, often carry spiky hairs known as trichomes, which either prevent feeding by insects or may even puncture and kill insect larvae. Other trichomes are sticky and glandular and effectively trap and immobilize insects. If the physical barriers of the plant are breached, then preformed chemicals may inhibit or kill the intruder, and plant tissues contain a diverse array of toxic or potentially toxic substances, such as resins, tannins, glycosides, and alkaloids, many of which are highly effective deterrents to insects that feed on plants. The success of the Colorado beetle in infesting potatoes, for example, seems to be correlated with its high tolerance to alkaloids that normally repel potential pests. Other possible chemical defenses, while not directly toxic to the parasite, may inhibit some essential step in the establishment of a parasitic relationship. For example, glycoproteins in plant cell walls may inactivate enzymes that degrade cell walls. These enzymes are often produced by bacteria and fungi. Active plant defense mechanisms are comparable to the immune system of vertebrate animals, although the cellular and molecular bases are fundamentally different. Both, however, are triggered in reaction to intrusion, implying that the host has some means of recognizing the presence of a foreign organism. The most dramatic example of an inducible plant defense reaction is the hypersensitive response. In the hypersensitive response, cells undergo rapid necrosis — that is, they become diseased and die — after being penetrated by a parasite; the parasite itself subsequently ceases to grow and is therefore restricted to one or a few cells
托福阅读总是做错的2个常见易错原因分析
托福阅读总是做错的2个常见易错原 因分析 托福阅读总是做错?2个常见易错原因分析。今天给大家带来了托福阅读总是做错的2个常见易错原因分析,希望可以帮助到大家，下面就和大家分享，来欣赏一下吧。 托福阅读总是做错?2个常见易错原因分析 托福阅读易错原因：没有认真背单词 单词量不足除了影响对全文理解外，还直接影响托福阅读里面的很多词汇题的解答。所以，托福一定要背单词，单词真的是王道。而且，考生考托福是为了什么?不就是为了出国吗?从这个根本目标出发，单词的积累也是重要的。 或许有人会问，看哪本托福词汇书? 实际上，市面上常见的任何一本单词书拿来应对考试都不会有什么问题。关键在于是否能持之以恒，坚持长时间不间断的记忆词汇。有人或许会问，专业词汇到底看不看，看的话当然最好，不看只要不影响理解*并解答题目也不是不行。当然如果考生时间比较紧张的话，专业术语词汇还是建议混个脸熟就足够了。 托福阅读易错原因：不熟悉*长度与句子架构
托福阅读中的长难句非常讨厌，也是干扰考生理解*的罪魁祸首之一。其实要想适应托福阅读考试中的长难句，就是多进行句子分析，或者多看阅读*。这里必须要强烈推荐托福官方真题，原因是考生对付阅读需要把ETS出题的角度和考题给出的正确选项都研究透了，才能保证练习的质量，而研究官方真题也是真正可以提高我们阅读能力的途径。 如果某一道题你做错了，那么请你对完答案之后，多花两分钟的时间来思考你的选项和给出的正确选项之间有什么差别?是语气不对?还是我们没有从那一段的整体把握的角度来做出正确的判断?亦或是其它什么原因?哪句话是解题的核心?我们通过这句话能获得或者说提炼什么有效的信息? 托福考试之阅读备考方法介绍 1. 托福考前几条建议 有时间和条件的话，建议考生可提前去看考场，熟悉考试的实战环境，并准备好考试所需证件; 托福考试正式考试时间为北京时间九点，考生们至少应提前半小时，即8:30前到达考场，因为在托福考试开始之前还要签署保密协议、寄存个人物品、排队等候拍照、核对身份等操作，千万不要因迟到而影响考试心态，无法正常发挥。
