新托福阅读新题型的重点解析

新托福阅读新题型的重点解析

新托福阅读新题型的重点解析新托福阅读考试中偶尔会出现的“新题型”往往会令许多考生感到茫然和恐慌,不过新托福考试教师认为大家对“新题型”完全没必要害怕,下面托小编就将给我们详细分析新托福阅读考试OG中没出现的各种“新题型”。

新托福阅读新题型的重点解析其实这些新题型并不是进入2009年,2010年以或者是2011年新出现的题型。

这些题型其实是新托福考试自从诞生之日起,就已经出现了的题型,但是由于ETS的官方指南一直没有将这部分题型列入其中,因此是等到“新托福突破口——TPO”出现之后,才慢慢被人们知晓的,在这之前,只有传言,但是都是捕风捉影。

话不多说,妙文开始!新托福考试OG列出了阅读的10种题型:1. Factual information questions (纯粹细节)2. Negative factual information questions (否定细节)3. Inference questions (推理题)4. Rhetorical purpose questions (修辞目的题)5. Vocabulary questions (词汇题)6. Reference questions (指代题)7. Sentence simplification questions (句子简化题)8. Insert text question (句子插入题)9. Prose summary (内容摘要题)10. Fill in a table (表格归类题)但实际上,新托福考试阅读当中还考了一些OG中没列举出来的题目:一.段间关系概括题:这种题目要求考生概括出2个自然段间的逻辑关系。

比如说《THE CAMBRIAN EXPLOSION》这篇文章的第6题。

6. Which of the following best describes the relationship between Paragraph2 and Paragraph3?Paragraph2 puts forward several scientific claims, one of which is rejected in Paragraph3Paragraph2 poses several questions, and Paragraph3offers a possible answer to one of themParagraph2 presents outdated traditional views, while Paragraph3presents the current scientific conclusions.Paragraph2 introduces a generalization that is illustrated by specific examples in Paragraph3二.修辞手法题:这种题目是修辞目的的变体。

例题2:Depletion of the Ogallala AquiferThe Ogallala is a large underground source of water in the High Plains regionof the United States.Answer choices1. The use of the Ogallala for irrigation has allowed the High Plains tobecome one of the most productive agricultural regions in the United States.2. Given the aquifer’s low recharge rate, its use for irrigation is causingwater tables to drop and will eventually lead to its depletion.3. Releasing capillary water and introducing drought-resistant crops areless-promising solutions to the water supply crisis than bringing in riverwater4. The periodic deepening of wells and the use of more-powerful pumps wouldhelp increase the natural recharge rate of the Ogallala.5. In Texas, a great deal of attention is being paid to genetic engineering because it is there that the most critical situation exists.6. Several solutions to the upcoming water supply crisis have been proposed, but none of them promises to keep the costs of irrigation low.。

托福备考托福阅读34套TPO样题+解析+译文21--2 The Origins of Agriculture

托福考试 复习托福阅读TPO21(试题+答案+译文)第2篇:The Origins of Agriculture托福阅读原文【1】How did it come about that farming developed independently in a number of world centers (the Southeast Asian mainland, Southwest Asia, Central America, lowland and highland South America, and equatorial Africa) at more or less the same time? Agriculture developed slowly among populations that had an extensive knowledge of plants and animals. Changing from hunting and gathering to agriculture had no immediate advantages. To start with, it forced the population to abandon the nomad's life and become sedentary, to develop methods of storage and, often, systems of irrigation. While hunter-gatherers always had the option of moving elsewhere when the resources were exhausted, this became more difficult with farming. Furthermore, as the archaeological record shows, the state of health of agriculturalists was worse than that of their contemporary hunter-gatherers.【2】Traditionally, it was believed that the transition to agriculture was the result of a worldwide population crisis. It was argued that once hunter-gatherers had occupied the whole world, the population started to grow everywhere and food became scarce; agriculture would have been a solution to this problem. We know, however, that contemporary hunter-gatherer societies control their population in a variety of ways.The idea of a world population crisis is therefore unlikely, although population pressure might have arisen in some areas.【3】Climatic changes at the end of the glacial period 13,000 years ago have been proposed to account for the emergence of farming. The temperature increased dramatically in a short period of time (years rather than centuries), allowing for a growth of the hunting-gathering population due to the abundance of resources. There were, however, fluctuations in the climatic conditions, with the consequences that wet conditions were followed by dry ones, so that the availability of plants and animals oscillated brusquely.【4】It would appear that the instability of the climatic conditions led populations that had originally been nomadic to settle down and develop a sedentary style of life, which led in turn to population growth and to the need to increase the amount of food available. Farming originated in these conditions. Later on, it became very difficult to change because of the significant expansion of these populations. It could be argued, however, that these conditions are not sufficient to explain the origins of agriculture. Earth had experienced previous periods of climatic change, and yet agriculture had not been developed.【5】It is archaeologist Steven Mithen's thesis, brilliantly developed in his book The Prehistory of the Mind (1996), that approximately 40,000 years ago the human mind developed cognitive fluidity, that is, the integrationof the specializations of the mind: technical, natural history (geared to understanding the behavior and distribution of natural resources), social intelligence, and the linguistic capacity. Cognitive fluidity explains the appearance of art, religion, and sophisticated speech. Once humans possessed such a mind, they were able to find an imaginative solution to a situation of severe economic crisis such as the farming dilemma described earlier. Mithen proposes the existence of four mental elements to account for the emergence of farming: (1) the ability to develop tools that could be used intensively to harvest and process plant resources; (2) the tendency to use plants and animals as the medium to acquire social prestige and power; (3) the tendency to develop "social relationships" with animals structurally similar to those developed with people—specifically, the ability to think of animals as people (anthropomorphism) and of people as animals (totemism); and (4) the tendency to manipulate plants and animals.【6】The fact that some societies domesticated animals and plants, discovered the use of metal tools, became literate, and developed a state should not make us forget that others developed pastoralism or horticulture (vegetable gardening) but remained illiterate and at low levels of productivity; a few entered the modern period as hunting and gathering societies. It is anthropologically important to inquire into the conditions that made some societies adopt agriculture while othersremained hunter-gatherers or horticulturalists. However, it should be kept in mind that many societies that knew of agriculture more or less consciously avoided it. Whether Mithen's explanation is satisfactory is open to contention, and some authors have recently emphasized the importance of other factors.托福阅读试题1.The word "option" in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning toA.choice.B.benefit.C.idea.D.experience.2.According to paragraph 1, all of the following are advantages of hunting and gathering over agriculture EXCEPT:A.It is a healthier lifestyle.B.It requires less knowledge of plants and animals.C.It does not need storage capabilities.D.It is not tied to any specific location.3.The word "therefore" in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning toA.in theory.B.obviously.C.frequently.D.as a result.4.Which of the following best describes the way paragraph 2 is organized?A.A possible explanation for a phenomenon is presented and then criticized.B.Two similar ways of accounting for a puzzling fact are considered.C.Early societies' response to a problem is contrasted with contemporary societies' response.D.A prehistoric development is first explained in traditional terms and then in contemporary terms.5.Which of the sentences below best expresses the essential information in the highlighted sentence in paragraph 3? Incorrect choices change the meaning in important ways or leave out essential information.A.The resources needed by the growing hunting and gathering population increased rapidly once temperatures rose.B.Dramatic temperature increases and the simultaneous growth of the hunting and gathering population led to the need for more resources.C.Higher temperatures led to the existence of increased resources, thus enabling the hunting and gathering population to grow.D.The dramatic temperature increase occurred during the few years when abundant resources allowed the hunting and gathering population to grow.6.According to paragraph 3, the abundance of resources fluctuated sharply after the end of the glacial period becauseA.locally abundant resources were quickly exhausted by hunter-gatherers.B.the temperature became much higher in some areas over others.C.different types of plants and animals became available as the climate changed.D.the amount of rainfall varied radically from one period to the next.7.It can be inferred from paragraph 4 that it was difficult for people to change from farming back to hunting and gathering becauseA.people had become more used to different types of food.B.climatic conditions were no longer favorable for hunting and gathering.C.populations had become too large to be supported by hunting and gathering.D.the farmer's sedentary life was easier than the hunter-gatherer's nomadic life.8.Why does the author state that "Earth had experienced previous periods of climatic change, and yet agriculture had not been developed"? (in paragraph 4)A.To suggest that climate change had occurred long before the development of agriculture.B.To argue that climate change does not properly explain why agriculture developed.C.To challenge the assumption that agriculture developed only in some parts of the world.D.To question the claim that climate change occurred at the time when agriculture developed.9.The word "imaginative" in paragraph 5 is closest in meaning toplex.B.creative.C.immediate.D.reliable.10.According to paragraph 5, Steven Mithen believes that all of the following contributed to the emergence of farming EXCEPTA.the development of a mind flexible enough to come up with solutions to complex problems.B.the tendency to use plants and animals to acquire power.C.the tendency to emphasize the differences between animals and people.D.the ability to make tools that could be used for the large-scale harvesting of plants.11.The word "contention" in paragraph 6 is closest in meaning toA.investigation.B.improvement.C.debate.D.interpretation.12.According to paragraph 6, which of the following is a weakness of Mithen's explanation?A.It does not clearly distinguish agriculture from pastoralism and horticulture.B.It fails to explain why some societies adopted agriculture while others did not.C.It explains the domestication of plants and animals but not the development of metal tools.D.It overlooks the fact that illiteracy and low productivity remain problems even today13. Look at the four squares [■] that indicate where the following sentence could be added to the passage. Where would the sentence best fit? Click on a square to add the sentence to the passage. Because humans had built up this knowledge as hunter-gatherers, it is logical to conclude that over time they would have become extremely efficient. Paragraph 7: How did it come about that farming developed independently in a number of world centers (the Southeast Asian mainland, Southwest Asia, Central America, lowland and highland South America, and equatorial Africa) at more or less the same time? Agriculture developed slowly among populations that had an extensive knowledge of plants and animals. ■【A】Changing from hunting and gathering toagriculture had no immediate advantages. ■【B】To start with, it forced the population to abandon the nomad's life and became sedentary, to develop methods of storage and, often, systems of irrigation. ■【C】While hunter-gatherers always had the option of moving elsewhere when the resources were exhausted, this became more difficult with farming. ■【D】Furthermore, as the archaeological record shows, the state of health of agriculturalists was worse than that of their contemporary hunter-gatherers.14. Directions: An introductory sentence for a brief summary of the passage is provided below. Complete the summary by selecting the THREE answer choices that express the most important ideas in the passage. Some sentences do not belong in the summary because they express ideas that are not presented in the passage or are minor ideas in the passage. This question is worth 2 points.It is unclear why hunter-gatherers in different parts of the world independently developed agriculture at roughly the same time.A.One obstacle to the transition from a nomadic lifestyle to the sedentary lifestyle required by agriculture was that hunter-gatherers had not developed storage techniques.B.It seems unlikely that agriculture emerged in response to a food shortage brought on by a worldwide population crisis that developed once the whole world was occupied.C.The origins of agriculture maybe linked to climate change at the end of the last ice age, but this does not explain why earlier climatic instability had not led to agriculture.D.The only available means of understanding the social organization and technical abilities of ancient hunter-gatherer societies is the study of contemporary hunter-gatherers.E.One recent theory suggests that the invention of agriculture was made possible by the integration of various mental capacities in the human mind.F.Little is known about why only some societies that adopted agriculture rapidly progressed to using metal tools, becoming literate, and developing a state.托福阅读答案1.option选择,选项,所以A的choice正确。

银川海派英语【托福阅读】文章的结构类型你了解吗

银川海派英语【托福阅读】文章的结构类型你了解吗

银川海派英语【托福阅读】文章的结构类型你了解吗当一篇文章对话题进行分类讨论,文章总体结构就属于分类。

官方指南《Aggression》这篇文章就是典型的分类文章。

文章的话题是“攻击性行为”。

文章从第二段开始分成了三大类,分别是三种理解“攻击性行为”的方法:The Biological Approach(生物学方法),The Psychodynamic Approach(心理动力学方法)和The Cognitive Approach(认知方法)。

不仅如此,生物学方法里面还讨论一个分支:Sociobiology(社会生物学)。

这篇文章的结构一目了然,因为文章本身就把每种方法用粗体字的方式标示出来。

除了《Aggression》之外,我们会发现官方指南的《Geology and Landscape》、TPO13的《Types of Social Groups》、TPO16的《Planets of Our Solar Systems》、TPO17的《Symbiotic Relationships》还有TPO20的《Fossil Preservation》,文章的大体结构都是分类。

其实当我们把上面的文章读完之后,就会发现《Types of Social Groups》和《Planets of Our Solar Systems》这两篇文章只分出两类,结构更接近比较,因为文章内容对分出的两种类型在很多方面都做了不同的比较。

当一篇文章有两个话题,并且对两个话题在诸多方面做了比较,文章的总体结构属于比较。

官方指南的《Applied Arts and Fine Arts》是典型的比较文章。

文章的话题分别是“应用艺术”和“精细艺术”,主要的内容就是对这种两种艺术在不同方面进行比较。

《Artisan and Industrialization》是比较文章,比较的是工业化之前技工(artisan)的工作状况和工业化之后工人(worker/laborer)的工作状况。

11月14号托福阅读真题解析

11月14号托福阅读真题解析托福真题是我们考试的重要备考资料,下面小编给大家带来11月14号托福阅读真题解析,下面小编就给大家分享一下,来看看吧!11月14号托福阅读真题解析今天的托福阅读部分难度较大,常考的生物类话题没有出现,三篇文章中两篇为历史农业类题材,一篇为天文地质类题材。

第一篇:Climate Change and the Natufian People文章大意:气候干旱(arid),河水干涸,导致猎物(game)减少,N人发明了新的箭头(arrowhead)来捕杀猎物。

空气中二氧化碳(carbon dioxide)含量下降,阻止(inhibit)植物光合作用(photosynthesis),农作物的减少使得农业变得必要。

对A村落遗迹的研究发现,人口数量的增加使得人们对作物重视,驯化了(domesticate)黑麦(rye),而人们搬走之后,黑麦又逐渐变回野生状态(wild)。

人们离开了林地(woodland),转向那些河流干涸带来的冲积河谷(alluvial valley),那里的土壤肥沃利于农业增产。

文章点评:历史/农业类文章,难度适中。

Tpo中此类文章非常多,在备考时,建议考生精读tpo21-2 the Origins of Agriculture,就能对农业话题有足够的背景知识。

例如:人们起初都是以“打猎-采集(hunter-gather)”和游牧(nomad)的生活方式为主的,向农业的发展,主要可能由人口的增长、气候的波动(fluctuation)而不能持续获得猎物等因素导致。

同时tpo24-3 Moving into Pueblo也提供了一些常考的逻辑线索,人口的移动或者生活方式的转变往往有一些客观原因;比如人口增长让人们有获取食物的需求,气温低使得人们向低海拔(lower elevation)迁移,合作(cooperation)的需要促使部落之间的交流,等等。

阅读过词类文章后,考生们对此类题型应当胜券在握。

2015年6月27日托福阅读真题预测部分内容:托福阅读真题题目戏剧的起源:The Origins of TheaterIn seeking to describe the origins of theater, one must rely primarily on speculation, since there is little concrete evidence on which to draw. The most widely accepted theory, championed by anthropologists in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, envisions theater as emerging out of myth and ritual. The process perceived by these anthropologists may be summarized briefly. During the early stages of its development, a society becomes aware of forces that appear to influence or control its food supply and well-being. Having little understanding of natural causes, it attributes both desirable and undesirable occurrences to supernatural or magical forces, and it searches for means to win the favor of these forces. Perceiving an apparent connection between certain actions performed by the group and the result it desires, the group repeats, refines and formalizes those actions into fixed ceremonies, or rituals.Stories (myths) may then grow up around a ritual. Frequently the myths include representatives of those supernatural forces that the rites celebrate or hope to influence. Performers may wear costumes and masks to represent the mythical characters or supernatural forces in the rituals or in accompanying celebrations. As a person becomes more sophisticated, its conceptions of supernatural forces and causal relationships may change. As a result, it may abandon or modify some rites. But the myths that have grown up around the rites may continue as part of the group’s oral tradition and may even come to be acted out under conditions divorced from these rites. When this occurs, the first step has been taken toward theater as an autonomous activity, and thereafter entertainment and aesthetic values may gradually replace the former mystical and socially efficacious concerns.20、★★★★Reading草原上prairie dogs(土拨鼠) 的数量减少,人们就是否应该把其作为保护动物引发了争论。
