ETS官方指出,托福阅读理解需要具备以下四种考试能力:
1.general topic or main idea 理解文章主旨
2.major points related to the general topic or main idea 理解与文章主旨相关的主要论点
3.important points and details 重要事实细节
4.vocabulary in the context of the reading material 阅读文章中的词汇
这些考试能力如果体现在出题上的话:
词汇题考查对语境下的单词理解。
细节题、推断题、排除题考查重点细节。
功能作用题和推断题考查观点,以及观点与细节的对应关系。
6选3题考查全篇文章主旨。
ETS就是这样无缝衔接地从词、句、段、文章四个维度考查你的整体阅读理解能力。
你如果做阅读时,只读细节不关注行文逻辑,不把握全文整体意思,那些高级能力考查的题就会全军覆没,你的分数只配的上intermediary level。
要怪,也只能怪你读的太多,想的太少,自个像热锅上的蚂蚁,看文章昏头转向。
要想改变学习现状,就得加强自己的全文/全段的主旨分析能力,拆解里面的结构,找出观点以及对应的细节。
ETS问你观点时,你就快速找到观点。当问你细节时,你就去读懂细节。
??举个例子:
Traditionally, it was believed that the transition to agriculture was the result of a worldwide population crisis.(传统观点)
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.(传统观点的解释)
We know, however, that contemporary hunter-gatherer societies control their population in a variety of ways.(列举事实-质疑传统观点)
The idea of a world population crisis is therefore unlikely, although population pressure might have arisen in some areas.(明确对传统观点的质疑,即建立新观点)
只有你跳出细节圈子,总观整体信息时,你的理解才会深入准确。也正是你学会了结构,你读细节乃至做题就会越快越准。
一开始,你只是被动输入句子,到后面,你会有选择有目标地选读。排除文章内“重复”和“无关”的信息,你主动去读文章重点,去看考题相关的内容,这就构成了一个“读重点??理解懂??做对题”的高效学习闭环。
