托福考试 别拿词汇不当回事!

托福考试别拿词汇不当回事!

备战托福考试的小伙伴儿们，可千万别拿托福词汇不当回事儿。词汇，作为英语考试的根基，是正在进行托福考试备考的同学们，一定要重点掌握的。因此，在接下来的文章中，天道小编就从词汇书籍、积累词汇两大方面入手，为同学们带来具体介绍。赶快收藏吧!

托福词汇是托福考试的基础，托福词汇量大小直接关系到托福考试的成绩，记忆托福词汇是托福考试最关键的一环。那么如何选择适合自己的托福词汇书?又该如何积累词汇呢?下面我们简单的介绍一下。希望之后的文章可以朱各位同学托福考试备考一臂之力!

1.如何选择词汇书籍

首先，我们推荐考生要精于一本词汇书，市面上词汇书纷繁错杂，形式也多种多样。但考生需要知道的是：不管是以字母顺序排列的词汇还是根据学科语义分类的词汇，内容总是相差无几的，只要觉得适合自己的就行，不必跟风。很多考生为了追求材料的全面性，购买很多参考书却没有完成任何一本，这无疑是一种浪费。若能把一本书认认真真地“消化”掉，应付考试是绰绰有余了。就怕买了很多书却没有认真对待任何一本，还不如不买。

2.在日常生活中积累词汇

有些考生比较迷茫，到底如何去积累词汇。考生需要知道的一点是，词汇并不是空口凭凭变出来的，词汇来源于生活，在日常生活中积累词汇，不仅避开了单纯背诵词汇手册的枯燥乏味，更能够提升学习兴趣，端正备考态度，改善备考状态。在日常生活中，“睹物思词”是开启词汇生活化的第一步。听英语广播时，记下生疏的单词，整理生词本，都是积累词汇的好方法。

以上就是小编准备的关于托福考试的全部内容了。在上述的文章中，天道小编主要就如何选择备战书籍及如何积累托福词汇两个方面，进行了介绍，希望还在进行托福考试备考的您可以参考一下!更多托福资讯，尽在天道教育!

托福阅读陷阱类偷换概念题解题思路实例讲解

托福阅读陷阱类偷换概念题解题思 路实例讲解 托福阅读中常有考生遇到这种情况，一道题目明明看懂了对应的*内容，选择时却还是出现了错误，今天给大家来托福阅读陷阱类偷换概念题解题思路实例讲解，希望能够帮助到大家，下面就和大家分享，来欣赏一下吧。 托福阅读陷阱类偷换概念题解题思路实例讲解 托福阅读偷换概念陷阱题实例讲解 托福阅读想要取得高分，我们一定要警惕其中的陷阱题型，比如偷换概念题。下面我们一起来看一道题： 例题： Paragraph 5: Even the kind ofstability defined as simple lack of change is not always associated withmaximum diversity. At least in temperate zones, maximum diversity is oftenfound in mid-successional stages, not in the climax community. Once a redwoodforest matures, for example, the kinds of species and the number of individualsgrowing on the forest floor are reduced. In general, diversity, by itself, doesnot ensure stability. Mathematical

models of ecosystems likewise suggest thatdiversity does not guarantee ecosystem stability—just the opposite, in fact. Amore complicated system is, in general, more likely than a simple system tobreak down. A fifteen-speed racing bicycle is more likely to break down than achild’s tricycle. Which of the following can be inferredfrom paragraph 5 about redwood forests? A. They become less stable as theymature. B. They support many species when theyreach climax. C. They are found in temperate zones. D. They have reduced diversity duringmid-successional stages. 思路解析： 推断题(inference question)和事实信息题、否定信息题一样，以“找关键词+定位”为切入点。本题的关键词是redwood forest, 回到原文定位到第三句：Once a redwoodforest matures, for example, the kinds of species and the number of individualsgrowing on the forest floor are reduced. 这句话的意思是：例如，红杉树林一旦成熟，其中的物种数量以及单个物种的数量都会减少。

Passage 8: One cognitive theory suggests that aggravating and painful events trigger unpleasant feelings. These feelings in turn，can lead to aggressive action，but not automatically. Cognitive factors intervene. People decide whether they will act aggressively or not on other people’s motives. Supporting evidence comes from research showing that aggressive people often distort other people’s motives. For example， they assume that other people mean them harm when they do not. The word distort in the passage is closest in meaning to ○ mistrust ○ misinterpret ○ criticize ○ resent 解析：distort所在的文章句子后出现“ for example”，根据for example 中的内容，我们可以得出distort在此句中的意思为misinterpret。 3. 并列信息 Example: OG Practice Set 5，question 3 Passage 3: …Absenteeism and lateness hurt productivity and since work was specialized，disrupted the regular factory routine.

托福阅读考试有哪些陷阱

托福阅读考试有哪些陷阱 托福阅读考试有哪些陷阱?你都知道了吗,为了让大家能避免陷阱，整理了托福阅读中的陷阱，下面就和大家分享，来欣赏一下吧。 托福阅读考试有哪些陷阱? 陷阱一：熟词僻义 词汇类问题(V ocabulary Questions)是新托福阅读考试每次必练习题型，而且题量较多，每篇文章通常出现3-5题，它要求考生确定文章中个别单词或短语的具体意思(一个单词可能有多个意思，但在给定选项中只有一个选项与该单词在阅读文章中的意思相符)。这种题型总的来说还是比较简单的，但这种题型中的“陷阱”即“熟词僻义” 让考生们头痛不已。 所谓“熟词僻义”也就是词汇题中所考查的单词尽管考生比较熟悉，对其常用含义也了解，但恰恰题目中考查的是该单词在阅读文章中的意思，而该意思是考生所不熟的。而往往考生们受该单词常用含义的影响，导致选错答案。比如“calling”一词的常用含义为“呼喊、召唤”，而新托福阅读中则可能考到该词的“职业、天职”的含义。 欲应对此“陷阱”，建议考生们在备考中扩大自己词汇量的同时，掌握猜测单词意思的技巧(利用上下文、构词法等)，同时注意这种题型主要考查单词在文章里面的意思，建议考生们在选出答案后把答案放回原文进行检验。 陷阱二：题干中设陷阱

有很多人仗着知道不少托福阅读技巧很轻松地就中招了，题干中的陷阱主要出现在否定排除题，即俗称的“三缺一”题型中，题目4个选项中有3个符合文章内容，剩下一个不符合，题目便是要求选出这个不符合文章内容的选项。该题题干中要么会出现大写的“NOT”，要么会出现大写的“EXCEPT”，比如： According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true of X? The author’s deion of X mentions all of the following EXCEPT… 而考生们在做题过程中往往会遗忘掉题干中的“NOT”和“EXCEPT”，选出一个和文章内容相符的选项，最终在不知不觉中已经丢掉唾手可得的分数。 建议考生考试时一定要细心、镇静，尤其要特别注意这种题型中的“NOT”或“EXCEPT”，并且谨记：这种题目的答案要么是选项内容原文没提到，要么根据原文内容选项是错误的。 陷阱三：定位信息陷阱 新托福阅读题的定位其实不难，但前提是定位信息要选准，也就是定位的点要对。通常情况下我们优先选择作为定位信息的是：专有名词、术语、物质名词、特殊名称等，但在做题过程中要具体情况具体分析，考生们千万不可以一刀切。如备考指导 Practice Test 2的第七题中题干为“Paragraph 2 suggests that which ofthe following is one of the most important factors in determining differences in feedingpreferences

Ants belong to an order of insects called the Hymenoptera, a group that also includes bees, wasps, and sawflies. Some species of wasps and bees resemble ants in that they live in colonies and are therefore said to be social, but ants are the only hymenopterans in which every species is social. Ants are distinguished from other hymenopterans in that they have bent, or elbowed, antennae and an indented abdomen that forms a narrow waist. o elaborate [i5lAbErEt] adj. 复杂的 o shelter [5FeltE] n. 遮蔽处 o adapted [E5dAptid] adj. 适合的 o h ymenoptera [7haimi5nCptErE] n. 膜翅目 o sawfly [5sR:flai] n. 叶蜂 o resemble [ri5zembl] v. 类似 o in that [in] [TAt]conj. 因为 o distinguish [dis5tiN^wiF] v. 区别 o bent [bent] adj. 弯曲的 o elbowed [5elbEud] adj. 像肘一样弯曲的 o antenna [An5tenE] n. 触须 o indented [in5dentid] adj. 锯齿状的 o abdomen [5AbdEmEn] n. 腹部 o waist [weist] n. 昆虫腹部的较窄部位 072 Members of an ant colony typically fall into categories known as castes, each with a different role.

托福阅读陷阱

https://www.wendangku.net/doc/fb916164.html, 托福阅读陷阱：辨别信息真伪 托福iBT阅读考查的一个重点是理解基本信息及合理推断的能力，要能够辨别信息的真伪以及是否在原文中出现过，这就为我们分析选项提供了思路，大家熟知的选项设置包括有悖原意（讲错了）和无中生有（没讲的）。事实上，多数小盆友往往忽略了另外一种选项设置，即和题干不相关的选项。这是托福阅读比较特别的地方，不仅追求选项的正确性，也追求选项和题干的关联。换句话说，一个选项，如果在原文定位区间内讲了，也讲对了，但答非所问，对不起，这个选项是错误的。我们来举个例子： 例如： The hind leg of Basilosaurus was a significant find because it showed that Basilosaurus ○ Lived later than Ambulocetus natans ○ Lived at the same time as Pakicetus ○ Was able to swim well ○ Could not have walked on land Another major discovery was made in Egypt in 1989. Several skeletons of another early whale, Basilosaurus, were found in sediments left by the Tethys Sea and now exposed in the Sahara desert. This whale lived around 40 million years ago, 12 million years after Pakicetus. Many incomplete skeletons were found but they included, for the first time in an archaeocyte, a complete hind leg that features a foot with three tiny toes. Such legs would have been far too small to have supported the 50-foot-long Basilosaurus on land. Basilosaurus was undoubtedly a fully marine whale with possibly nonfunctional, or vestigial, hind legs. An even more exciting find was reported in 1994, also from Pakistan. The now extinct whale Ambulocetus natans (“the walking whale that swam”) lived in the Tethys Sea 49 mi llion years ago. It lived around 3 million years after Pakicetus but 9 million before Basilosaurus…. 这是一道事实信息题，根据题干中的关键词hind leg和Basilosaurus，本着“快、准、狠”的原则，找到定位句Such legs would have been far too small to have supported the 50-foot-long Basilosaurus on land. （这样的后肢太小了以至于不能支撑Basilosaurus在陆地上活动），和选项做一个对照，发现D是对定位句的同义改写，这样就可以直接选出正确答案D。 然后我们以胜利者的姿态来看一下A选项，根据原文小盆友们可以知道这个选项有提到，说法也正确（Ambulocetus natans...lived…9 million before Basilosaurus），但为什么不选呢？再来看下题干：Basilosaurus的后肢是个重要的发现（a significant find）因为它的后肢揭示出什么？A选项中说Basilosaurus晚于Ambulocetus natans，这和它的后肢是重要发现无关，所以是错误选项。 更多有关托福知识技巧请看外朗教育官网：https://www.wendangku.net/doc/fb916164.html,
