应试技巧

TOEFL考试听力是整个试题中最难的一部分,大多数考生成绩不理想,往往是听力部分拖了后腿。听力一般很难在短时间内有较大的提高,即使是英语专业毕业或经常与英语打交道的人,听力要考过600分也感到十分困难。因此只有持之以恒,长期训练,才能使自己的听力有突飞猛进的提高。

考生应坚持每天收听英语广播,收看英语电视节目,通过长时间的训练,逐渐接着自己对英语听力的感觉。

除了坚持听英语节目外,还要选择专门的TOEFL听力教材和磁带来训练自己应试TOEFL 听力考试的能力。只有大量做听力考试的全真题和模拟题,才会熟能生巧,在听力部分获得高分。另外,由于成语在听力部分出现频繁,因此大家最好能记熟《托福600分成语》(刘毅)中的有关成语。

在较短时间内迅速提高听力成绩的方法是,苦练解题技巧,直到运用自如。也就是说,当听到录音后,首先考虑的重点不应是整个句子的意思,而是考虑这是一个什么句型;其中动词、状语应如何替换;设计这道试题的意图是什么,即想要考的是什么。这样,每道试题做完后是对是错,心中基本有数。而要做到这一点,考生首先必须了解TOEFL听力部分三种题型的具体解题技巧。

词汇是应付所有TOEFL考题的基础。TOEFL考试要求考生的词汇量达到10000个左右,如果词汇量不足,不仅词汇部分无法顺利过关,而且更难掌握听力和阅读。因此,不经过长期艰苦的词汇训练,根本无法达到TOEFL考试的要求。增加词汇量若能采用系统的方法,循序渐进,必可在最短时间内获得最大的成效。

要选择一本有效的TOEFL词汇书。台湾捷高出版公司出版的《全美托福字汇》(修订版)和刘毅编的《Vocabulary 10000》都是不错的选择。考生应花三个月左右的时间记熟上面的所有生字,打下词汇的基础。除了精选词汇、重点记忆外,还必须做到以下几点:

1.背单词时,要同时联想它的同义字、反义字、切不可将它孤立起来死记。

2.针对考试的特点,记熟各种常用的词根、词首及词尾的意义。只有掌握了构词法,遇到生词时才会产生反射作用,即使是较偏的单词也可以推测出其意义。

平时进行阅读时,将所学到的新词立即记入单词本中。单词本形式不拘,只要方便使用即可,经常拿出来背诵、复习。

能否在较短的时间内迅速提高听力成绩是广大应试者迫切要求解决的问题。方法是突击苦练解题技巧,直到运用自如。也就是说,当听到录音后,首先考虑的重点不应是整个句子的意思,而是考虑这是一个什么句型;其中动词、状语应如何替换;设计这道试题的意图是什么,即想要考的是什么。这样,每道试题做完后是对是错,心中基本有数。而要做到这一点,考生首先必须了解TOEFL听力部分三种题型的具体解题技巧。

1. Part A的应试策略。

a) 在未正式开始之前,应抓紧时间把Part A所有题目的选项先浏览一遍。

b) 正式答题时,应带着问题听,力争在10秒钟内选出答案,抽 5 秒再看一遍下一题的四个选项。

c) 应把注意重点放在句子的动词和状语上。在听录音之前,快速浏览一下每题的动词,如动词相同就着重看状语。

d) Part A的前15题,仅仅以部分替换为主,即换了动词不换状语,换了状语不换动词。因此答题时应注意,正确答案与听到的那句话不仅意思相近,而且语法、词汇和声音都可能极相似。

e) 从Part A的第16题开始,则以全面替换为主。相应的解题技巧为:发音相似绝对错,听到什么不选什么。这一点对付成语也有较好的效果。

f) 万一其中有一题目没听清楚,也应稳定自己的情绪立即猜测答案;然后马上准备听下一个句子的录音。

2. Part B的应试策略。

a) 尽量在听正式考题的录音之前,先将前10题的问题选项看一遍,做到答题时带着问题听。

b) 应把重点放在句型转换上,尤其要注意感叹句、虚拟句和比较句。

c) Part B的15道试题中有12个题是问第二个讲话者讲的是什么意思,因此要着重听清第二个讲话者所讲的内容。

d) Part B是对话,第一个讲话者往往提出话题,即谈话的中心,第二个人表示同意或反对或怀疑;或者是第一个人提问,第二个人回答。两人讲话必然有个主题,因此即使有听不懂的,也可以先依据主题,然后再根据第二个人的口气推断,即"听口气,顺逻辑"。

e) Part B是简短的"情景对话",对话者的身份、对话地点以及所谈的内容都是常考的项目。因此,熟悉各种不同职业中人与人的关系,以及在某一特定场合下的常用短语,便显得非常重要。

3. Part C的应试策略。

a) 在开始前的150秒,把15个问题的选项看一遍,做到心中有数。

b) 在听录音时要特别注意选项中的时间、地点、人物及数字。

c) 由于Part C的篇数少,问题集中,因此只要抓住中心,即使听不太懂的内容也可以从中推测出来。而且,这部分主要是考"听到什么,选什么",因此很少设有"陷井"。

d) 在听录音时,最好的方法应该录音一开始就不看题目,集中注意力听,听完后根据记忆的内容来选,这样就有把握选答正确。

托福听力技巧指南-场景法

为了让你对托福听力考试技巧有一个生动的形象化的认识,以下我们通过场景方法向你展示一个奇妙的答题方法。

场景法指的是考生通过对话揭示的场景关键词,判断磁带上的对话或演讲发生的实际生活场景,再根据这一生活场景答题。场景法可行的原因在于托福考试的目的。我们前面已经说过,托福测试的是外国学生在美国学习和生活要用到的基本语言能力,所以托福听力在内容上永远离不了学习和生活这一主题。学生生活的圈子不大,典型的仍然像中国的5点式,即宿舍-教室-食堂-图书馆-购物。而托福听力已经考了几十年了,学校里的几乎每一个角落上都被考过了。只要考生能熟悉学校里的各个场所经常发生的学生生活场景,仅凭几个词就可以知道整个对话或演讲的大体内容,从而得出(甚至猜出)正确答案。

在场景法的后面,我们将归纳美国大学生活的各个场合及其典型的对话内容。在这里,我们的先介绍一下如何利用场景法。

为什么要用场景法?

很多做过托福听力题的考生都有这种感受:即有些对话里的词全都听懂而且明白单词的意思,就是选不出答案。更离谱的是,即使让你看文字答案答题,你也未必会有很高的正确率。为什么会出现这种情况呢?原因在于场景,即英语里常说的situation。我们平时碰到有人试图安慰心情不好的自己时,经常会说“你不是我,你不会明白的”,就是这个道理。在托福的听力中,“清”的肯定不是“旁观者”,而只有“当局者”才会最清楚对话到底说的是什么。而要成为“当局者”,你必须熟悉托福听力的大学生活背景。下面的例子列举了熟悉场景的重要性:

He got in and pushed the button for the forth floor.Question:What did he do?

(A)He took the elevator.

(B)He sewed the buttons on.

(C)He dropped something on the floor.

(D)He made him go upstairs.

这个单句题(现在的听力部分没有这种单句题),如果你不熟悉电梯的话,你会一头雾水,根本不知其所云何事。但是,如果你一听到就想到了电梯的话,那么这根本不是问题。

所以,托福的听力中的有些题目仅凭听清楚每个单词的字面意思是不够的(很多时候甚至是不必要的),你还必须生动地想象出对话所发生的具体生活场景。

场景法的魅力

例如学生入学时登记注册的场景。如果你平时记住了关于register的词汇,如registration,course enrollment form,signed by academic advisor,get the department’s approval,tables set up aIl the way around,stamp your form,approved,pay for

tuition,officially enrolled,pick up identification card。

那么,即使你听力能力较差,对话的具体细节没能听懂,你也能答对题。如果你不相信的话,请试着仅根据注册这一大学里发生的场景,而不根据对话的内容,做下面两道题。

1.When would this talk be given?

(A)At the beginning of a semester.

(B)During the mid-semester vacation.

(C)At final examination time.

(D)Just before a gymnastics event.Q

2.swheresare the students going tomorrow?

(A)To registration office.

(B)To a class reunion.

(C)To their classes.

(D)To a track meet.

第1题:该对话肯定发生在学期初。答案确实唾手可得。

第2题:既然是讲注册,那肯定是去registration office。

此外了解对话内容及相关词句和美国的大学生活对听力考试也有帮助。

(1)对话内容及相关词句

以下是我们总结的针对对话内容的词句,记住这些词句有助于你对对话内容和场景的判断,从而正确地答案。即使你没有完全听懂对话,你也可能根据判断得出的对话场景正确地答题。

1、东西丢了:lost the key,can’t found the note

2、剃头:hardly bald光秃的, hairstyle change for not covering the eyes, cut curl hair

3、搭车:pick up the third one at the airline, give me a ride to the office

4、穿衣:a jean and T-shirt for interview is casual, clothes is wet before the concert

28、照相:film run out, film not processed, film not good

30、太吵:too noisy, can’t concentrate

(2)美国大学生活

托福听力部分是为了测试应试者的听力理解能力,从而得知应试者是否有足够的语言能力在美国学习生活,所以托福听力的对话内容,场景都是关于在美国大学里的生活。所以对美国大学的学习和生活的初步了解有助于理解和熟悉听力的内容,对真正考试中的对话内容进行猜测,从而提高听力部分的分数。

初到美国

一般说来,新到的留学生必须在真正开课的前一周内到系里报道,这是系里有个international advisor将给你关于选课,选专业住宿等方面的指导,并且递给你一大摞学习生活方面的介绍的资料,甚至一张本校的地图。然后让你参加一个由international

students office举行的international students orientation,内容都是关于美国大学的生活指导,如留学生在入学后的9个月内不能在校外打工,收入要上税等,还有关于枪支泛滥,大学生活的安全等问题。

关于注册(registration)

美国大学新生和学期前都要自己选课(或系里的advisor指导选课),然后将选好的课表在规

定的时间里(通常是一周内)自己拿到registration office去register。由于全校的学生都集中在这段时间里注册,所以通常人都很多,排队便是常有的事。注册的程序这点和国内的大学很不一样,国内大学的做法通常是到系里去注册,而且没有选课的自由(除了极少的选修课外)。

关于住宿

住宿方面美国大学里大都有宿舍(dormitory)和公寓(apartment)两种:dormitory离教学楼较近,不用坐车,步行即可。Dormitory一般收费较贵,是给新生(new international graduate student)和大一(freshman)住的,一般两人或三个人同住,屋里每人一部电话和一条internet 接口,有暖气或空调,但没有厨房,但每一层楼有一个公用厨房。一般住在dormitory的学生有一个meal plan,即在学校的dinning hall自助就餐,每个月支付一定的餐费。而apartment 离教学楼较远,分布在学校的四周。住在apartment的学生一般自己开车或乘坐学校的免费公共汽车(shuttle)去上课。但apartment有它吸引人的地方,apartment是典型的美国小洋房,两层建筑,四周是草地,绿化特好,而且每人都有停车位;而且室内也不错,apartment 有1-bedroom, 2-bedroom, 3-bedroom, 4-bedroom等四种。每人一个bedroom,都在二楼,一楼有个大厨房,卫生间和客厅。厨房虽然是公用的,但有很多个炉口,可以同时使用,大家互不影响。客厅较大,很多周末同学朋友聚会都在这里举行。Apartment离校区较远,比较自由,而且通常比dormitory便宜,很受欢迎。但apartment是共享制的(share),即如果有某个partner在某个share期后搬出,其他的partners要自己寻找一个partner来补缺,不然就要share这个vacancy的费用。当然还有些同学住在校外(off-campus apartment),这就离学校更远了,一定要有一部车。虽然美国的轿车很便宜,甚至1000美元就能买一辆不错的车,但新到的留学生人生地不熟,很多国家的driver license在美国不适用,所以大部分新生前三个月都住在dormitory.以后才考虑搬进apartment.

关于食堂

cafeteria在美国,学生光顾的一般有四种地方,其一是dinning hall,离学生的dormitory较近,它是学校里最大而且人最多的食堂,一般是自助餐,参加meal plan(关于meal plan)的同学都在这里吃饭,价格比较便宜。其二是cafeteria,它离教学楼较近,大部分教员,校职工中午都在这里吃午餐,cafeteria是非自助性的,吃多少买多少,但比较贵,而且经常要排队。尽管如此,许多住在apartment的学生中午都在这里吃饭,省事,下午有课的同学不用回去了。其三便是restranaut,它在校外,较贵,但有些同学聚会或者没赶上食堂吃饭的时间,就只好在饭馆了。最后便是快餐店,但一般都是麦当劳,肯德基等,但ETS似乎不爱给人家做免费广告,所以这第四钟根本不在听力里提到。

关于教学

方式不仅如此,美国大学里的学习和教学与其它国家也有很大的不同。虽然美国大学也有如中国的lecture似的教学,但只站其中的一小部分。更重要的有讨论,主要以seminar的方式,即三五人一组,共同讨论一个问题,每人发表各自的观点。更为普遍的是老师布置一道作业或,然后要求学生回去到图书馆(library)查询资料,而且多以presentation的方式进行(其他的方式是论文),在课堂上发表自己的意见,即被安排的学生用十几分钟的时间在讲台上发表。这和国内的论文答辩很相似,演讲者面对这全班的同学发表自己的观点,很多新生都很紧张,特别是留学生,因为语言都不太适应。Presentation在美国教学中占有很重要的位置,通常它在期末成绩中站四分之一的分数。另外是出勤率(participation),平时论文(paper)和期末考成绩(final exam)。当然有时final exam以案例题出现,而不考平时的

教科书(textbook)。课后的复习和自习一般不再教室,很多同学则选择安静的图书馆,所以很多同学的时间大部分在图书馆里度过。

课外生活

当然,美国大学之最大不同于其他国家在于其丰富的课外生活。Weekend是个很热门的话题。美国大学里的生活分得清清楚楚,学习就学习,娱乐就娱乐。看电影(movie or film),看展览(exhibition),海洋馆(aquarium),欣赏音乐会(concert),出外烧烤(picnic or barbecue ),滑冰滑雪(skating),到外地旅游(travel)或者干脆在校内的apartment中举行周末party。健身房(fitness center)也是一个很受欢迎的地方,特别是对那些想减肥的人来说。此外,运动爱好者青睐football, tennis和骑自行车racing。课外生活还有参加各种各样的社团组织,如student government, co-op, club来增加与其它同学的交往,或者发起某种运动。

关于购物

另外,由于美国的大学一般都在郊区,虽然每个大学都有自己的商店(叫store

or campus connection)但商品不全,而且较贵,所以大部分的同学都到校外较远的商场(mall or shopping market)去采购。由于离学校比较远,所以开车去,或坐公共汽车(bus),或搭别人的车(pick)。

关于买和借

美国人你我分得很清楚,特别是在钱上面,几乎是记到美分。除非是借那些折旧率很低的东西,如尺子,圆规,否则都要付钱;车是不会借人的,除非我顺路,给你一个免费的RIDE;如我今晚没时间去听音乐会,票绝对是卖给你,不会白送给你;或者我不方便是用了一下你的电话,在你拿到电话费清单时,肯定如数还给你。

关于Schedule

在美国大学里你一定要养成做timing的习惯,因为大部分人都这样,因为这样,所以呼机,手机在美国很少人用,有事先得schedule,做事便十分踏实了。

关于互联网Internet

虽然在美国网络十分发达,大多学生每天都有一两个小时在机房里度过,收发电子邮件,查询信息,但ETS却似乎不考及这方面的内容,因为托福部分都在国外举行,而且落后国家居多,或许ETS觉得这样做对落后国家太不公平,或许他们根本不知internet,email为何物。

新托福听力考试相关背景资料(1)

1)【熔炉】(The Melting Pot)

美国的别称。因为美国是一个由来自世界各地不同民族的移民融合组成的国度。这些移民说的英语不像英国人的英语那样具有较强的阶层性与地域多样性。他们形成了相似的生活习惯与礼节;城乡居民的差别也不像其他国家的那样明显。美国社会虽然竞争性强,且存在着种族歧视,但它在同化来自不同民族的移民方面又表现出相当大的弹性与包容性。因而,形成了全新的整体文化与共同的民族意识,使美国成为“一个多民族组成的国家”。美国人

的人生观是基于个人奋斗、自我管束与竞争精神之上的。

2)【雅皮士与雅非士】(Yuppies and Yuffies)

雅皮士是美国人根据嬉皮士(Hippies)仿造的一个新词,意思是“年轻的都市专业工作者”。雅皮士从事那些需要受过高等教育才能胜任的职业,如律师、医生、建筑师、计算机程序员、工商管理人员等。他们的年薪很高。雅皮士们事业上十分成功,踌躇满志,恃才傲物,过着奢侈豪华的生活。与嬉皮士们不同,雅皮士们没有颓废情绪,不关心政治与社会问题,只关心赚钱,追求舒适的生活。雅非士意为“都市中失败的年轻人”。他们虽然觉得自己的生活无法与雅皮士的生活相比,但又不愿意有失落感,并发誓要找到自己的归宿。

3)【山姆大叔】(Uncle Sam)来源:考试大

它是美国的绰号与象征。山姆大叔的英文为Uncle Sam,缩写是U.S.,正好与美国的英文缩写相同。但它怎样成为美国的绰号和象征的呢?普遍的说法是:1812年,美英战争期间,美国特罗城有一个专门供应军用牛肉的商人(也有的说是军事订货的官员)名叫山姆尔?威尔逊(Samuel Wilson,1776—1854),人们平时都叫他山姆大叔(Uncle Sam)。美国政府收购他的牛肉箱上都盖U.S.字样。人们遂开玩笑说这些盖有U.S.字样的箱子都是山姆大叔的。后来“山姆大叔”便成了美国的绰号。19世纪30年代,美国画家又将“山姆大叔”画成一个留有山羊胡子的瘦长老人,帽子和裤子都有星条旗的标志。

4)【黑色星期五】(Black Friday)来源:考试大网

“黑色”这一词,源出耶稣殉难日(Good Friday)。1987年10月19日,纽约股票市场的股票价格暴跌,因这天是星期五,故称股票市场的“黑色星期五”。10月19日纽约股市的股票指数普遍大幅度下降,超过了1929年10月28日引发经济大萧条的股票暴跌纪录。这天开市不久,即出现抛售股票的狂潮,纽约股市创下了破纪录的股市交易6043亿股,使得美国几家大公司损失惨重,上市的5000家公司的整个股票价值,一天中就折损了5000亿美元。股值暴跌迅速度卷世界各地大金融市场,引起了西方的极大恐慌,这次股票暴跌,是第一次世界大战以来股市最糟的一次,也是华尔街有史以来下跌幅度最剧烈的一次。

5)【汽车旅馆】(Motel=Motor+Hotel)

汽车旅馆起源于公路两旁独立经营带有停车场的小旅馆。60年代初随着汽车逐渐成为美国、英国、欧洲、加勒比海地区和日本的主要交通工具,这些旅馆的规模也不断扩大。一般汽车旅馆有游泳池,大多数房间配有电视。进入70年代后,一些国家政府允许个人以联营汽车旅馆的名义,从事独自经营。这样,只需较少的投资,即可为联营企业获取较大的利润,从而加快了汽车旅馆业的发展。尤其是北美的汽车旅馆比任何地方都多。

8)【美国现行的教育体制】(the Current American Education System)

与英国的现行教育体制相似,美国的教育体制可分为三个主要阶段:初等教育、中等教育和高等教育。在接受初等教育之前,学生可以受到学前教育(主要形式是保育学校——nursery school与幼儿园——kindergarten)。

初等教育的主要教育机构是小学(elementary or primary school)。儿童五六岁入小学学习。美国的小学有四年制、六年制和八年制等几种。从不同学制的小学毕业出来的学生进入不同学制的中学(四年制小学毕业生事先须进入中间中学学习四年,再进入中学)接受中等教育。

中等教育是在中学里完成的。美国的中学有四年制与六年制两种。四年制中学主要

托福写作开头的11种示例

托福写作开头的11种示例 采用不同的句子开头是使句子多样化的手段之一。我们造句及写作的时候不应该总是用“subject-verb-object” 的结构顺序,而应该尽量用不同的方式展开一个句子。不同的句子开头既可以美化句子,同时也能使句子与句子之间自然过度,衔接自然,以免过于依赖过渡词。在TWE 考试中主考官对句子结构的多样化也非常的重视,看看常见的句子开头的方法! 托福作文句子的开头可以采用以下的任何一种方式: 1. 用副词开头,常见的情形有: (1) 副词修饰全句 Luckily, he didn't know my phone number; otherwise, he would bother me. Incredibly, Helena got straight A in her school report this semester. Interestingly, cats and dogs can hardly get along well in a house.

修饰全句常用的副词有: obviously undoubtedly apparently fortunately clearly unfortunately incredibly luckily unluckily surprisingly frighteningly 这些副词大多数表示说话人对全句的看法,在意思上相等与“It is … 形容词that …” 。e.g: Obviously, he is nervous about the test. =It is obvious that he is nervous about the test. Unfortunately, he tripped over and fell in the mud. =It is unfortunate that he tripped over and fell in the mud. (2) 强调副词 Hurriedly, the man drew me a scratch map to show me the direction. Dangerously, the drunkard sped down the street. Slowly and gently, snowflakes were drifting down from the sky. (3) 副词表示某一地域或某一领域 Geographically, Canada is the biggest country in the world. Financially, she is independent, but emotionally she is dependent. 2. 用插入语开头,表示说话人的态度,或使句子的意思更加准确: Strangely enough, Jennifer does not enjoy sunshine and beach.

托福阅读题型十大技巧锦囊(精美图文版)

托福阅读题型十大技巧锦囊 “得阅读者,得天下。”托福阅读向来是考生提分必争之地,也是中国考生的传统强项。基本考生考前会采取题海战术,将自己武装成十万个我都知道。 于是,你背完了英文化学周期表;你了解了九大行星排列;你知道了最前沿的科技发展和美国经济新政;你是颗移动的the big bang 云硬盘。你只祈祷考前记住所有的这些信息量,考后再统统delete 。 如果考到一个你事先复习过的知识点,你欣喜若狂。 如果考到一个你似曾相识却扫视而过,你追悔莫及。 如果考到一个全新的知识点,恭喜你,你顿时挂机。 事实上,托福阅读的单词量是浩瀚星尘,无论你猜或不猜它都在哪里,不离不弃。所以,TPO 小站为冒星星眼的考生们编织了以下十个托福阅读答题锦囊,当你埋首题海两眼泪茫茫时,不妨看过来。 Reading Skills Top 10 1 Factual Information 2 Vocabulary 3 Negative Factual Information 4 Inference 5 Organization 6 Paraphrasing 7 Purpose 8 Insertion 9 Main Idea 10 Categorizing

十大技巧锦囊? 之一 小单词,大线索 Factual information【事实信息题】 “真相,永远只有一个!”20分钟一篇托福阅读,平均到800字篇幅的文章中去,再排除那些判断全文的主旨题,这是火眼晶晶的节奏啊。 所以事实信息题不是考你细工出慢活的时候,而是靠你抓Key words paraphrasing and location(关键词替换定位)。 如何最有效的锁定答案,这里小站针对事实信息题给出的第一条锦囊——小单词,大线索。 多年来,被应试题海战术训练的极其有素的考生们,早就学会了巧妙抓关键词了,但往往是我认识这个单词,但我还是选错了。就像你参加一个世界咖啡评选比赛,你觉得认为是白咖啡或巴西咖啡吧,但你未必知道土耳其咖啡才是咖啡之王。分析事实信息题的特点是:范围小,正确率极高。 题型表现最多形式是:因果关系和表比较级关系的长难句。 表因果关系的词: Cause:frontality/since/in that/on account of Effect:so that/therefore/as a result/consequently 表比较级的词: unlike…from /prior to/ more than 所以,在获取key words之后,我们要做的才是重点。你有看过柯南在发现一丝线索后就停止推理吗?不,所谓的大线索,就是将关键词放回原句,让案件重现,理顺关键句的因果关系,让正确选项浮出水面。 纸上谈兵终不靠谱,绝知此事要做真题! 小伙伴们快来小站托福板块,阅读区实践吧。

托福阅读文章各类词汇出现比例数据分析

托福阅读文章各类词汇出现比例数 据分析 托福阅读*中包含的生词很多,这些词汇有些属于大学四六级范畴,有些则是托福考试本身要求的词汇。今天给大家带来托福阅读*各类词汇出现比例数据分析,希望能够帮助到大家,下面就和大家分享,来欣赏一下吧。 托福阅读*各类词汇出现比例数据分析 托福阅读*中中四级词汇最多 据统计四级词汇所占比例为51%。足可以看出四级词汇在征服托福阅读中的重要性。四级词汇在*中主要起到构建句子骨架的作用,由四级词汇所延伸出的四级词组、固定搭配也在*中大量出现,也需要同学们熟练掌握。曾经遇到过一个学生,之前在某机构学过托福,可是无论怎么考,托福阅读总是10分左右。问她解题技巧啥的都明白的很,可就是分数提不上去。后来才发现,之前阅读老师教给他的只是解题方法,技巧。可是精读一段文字才发现,他四级词汇根本不认识几个。这样怎么能够征服托福阅读。对这类同学来说,其实根本就还没到刷题的时候,而是打基础的时候。四级词汇及短语不过关,想在托福阅读中考出一个好成绩是绝对不可能的事情。

托福阅读*中六级词汇也有不少 我们这里所说的六级词汇是剔除与四级词汇重合的词汇,占比大约为11%。这些词汇在含义深度和难度上都要比四级词汇有很大提升。这个参加过大学英语四六级考试的同学会有明显的感觉。六级考试比四级考试的难度有很大提升。那些在四级考试中发挥的自我感觉良好的学生,对六级考试过于掉以轻心,最后往往在六级考试中捉襟见肘,不能取得理想成绩。 托福阅读高分还是得靠托福词汇量 这里所说的托福词汇也是指剔除四六级难度的"纯种"托福 词汇。从*的词汇分析来看,托福词汇好比点缀在句子中的花朵。明确他们的含义往往对理解*的含义有着"柳暗花明"的作用。换句话说,如果对这些托福词汇不甚了解,不能在阅读中立刻反应出单词的意思。那么整篇*读起来都可能有一种雾里看花,摸不清头脑,理不清头绪的感觉。这对于快速并且准确的解题,获得阅读高分是一大障碍。 托福阅读*中偶尔会有高难度词汇 所谓高难度的词汇就是高出托福考试考察水平的词汇。这些词汇可能属于SAT考试难度,甚至属于GRE考试等级的词汇。这些词汇的含义就是对于本土的美国学生来讲,也是有难度的。那么,有些同学就会担心了,我背不了这么多的词汇啊,GRE词
