1.Natural and Physical Sciences

The nuclear energy is released at the Sun's center as high-energy gamma radiation, a form of electromagnetic radiation like light and radio waves, only of very much shorter wavelength. This gamma radiation is absorbed by atoms inside the Sun, to be re-emitted at slightly longer wavelengths. This radiation, in its turn, is absorbed and re-emitted. As the energy filters through the layers of the solar interior, it passes through the x-ray part of the spectrum, eventually becoming light. At this stage, it has reached what we call the solar surface, and can escape into space, without being absorbed further by solar atoms. A very small fraction of the Sun's light and heat is emitted in such directions that, after passing unhindered through interplanetary space, it hits the Earth.

2.Biological Sciences

Molt of the flight feathers is the most highly organized part of the process. Some species, for example, begin by dropping the outermost primary feathers on each side (to retain balance in the air) and wait until the replacement feathers are about one-third grown before shedding the next outermost, and so on. Others always start with the innermost primary feathers and work outward. Yet other species begin in the middle and work outward on both sides. Most ducks shed their wing feathers at once, and remain flightless for two or three weeks while the replacement feathers grow.

3.Arts and American History

The American Revolution was not a revolution in the sense of a radical or total change. It was not a sudden and violent overturning of the political and social framework, such as later occurred in France and Russia, when both were already independent nations. Significant changes were ushered in, but they were not breathtaking. What happened was accelerated evolution rather than outright revolution. During the conflict itself people went on working and praying, marrying and playing. Most of them were not seriously disturbed by the actual fighting, and many of the more isolated communities scarcely knew that a war was on.

4.Social Sciences

The term “satellite city”is used to describe the relationship between a large city and neighboring smaller cities and towns that are economically dependent upon it. Satellite cities may be collection and distribution points in the commercial linkages of a trading metropolis, or they may be manufacturing or mining centers existing with one industry economics as the creatures of some nearby center. This latter form is what is generally meant when one uses the term "satellite city." Taken in this sense, nineteenth - century Chicopee and Lowell, Massachusetts, were satellites of Boston. Both were mill towns created by Boston investors to serve the economy of that New England metropolis.

5.Humanities

The most interesting architectural phenomenon of the 1970's was the enthusiasm for refurbishing older buildings. Obviously, this was not an entirely new phenomenon. What is new is the wholesale interest in reusing the past, in recycling, in adaptive rehabilitation. A few trial efforts, such as Ghirardell Square in San Francisco, proved their financial viability in the 1960's, but it was in the 1970’s. with strong government support through tax incentives and rapid depreciation, as well as growing interest in ecology issues, that recycling became a major factor on the urban scene.

6.Biography and others

Though Faulkner was praised by some critics and reviewers during the first part of his career, his novels did not sell well and he was considered a fairly marginal author. For the first few decades of his career, he made his living writing magazine articles and working as a screenwriter rather than as a novelist. Throughout this period, he continued to write, though his novels, sometimes noted for the stirring portrait that they presented of life in the post-Civil War South, were generally relegated to the category of strictly regional writing and were not widely appreciated.

托福阅读分数对照表

常常有考友询问,为什么托福阅读明明有42个题,总分却只有30分,分数如何计算的呢?其实,每每看到这种问题,小编的内心是疼痛的。 大家准备一个考试,却不看考试指导手册,考得不太理想,简直太正常了。就算天生神勇,也应该有个作战纲领呀! 打开OG,第一部分就是托福阅读的介绍,编者首先给出了评分标准的表格。 紧接着给出了各类题型的题型解析,这些就是托福阅读的考察内容,众位考友一定要反复研究,在准备考试时,下意识的按照出题者的思路去解题。 那么托福阅读有些什么考察类型?应该怎么解题?

在iBT阅读中,甚至可以扩展到ETS所有考试的阅读题目中,无论是题干还是正确选项,大都能在原文中找出一句话来与之相对应。即题目是原文的意译。这种意译是通过同义词来完成的。即题干中多用近义词来对原文中的句子进行替换,来达到提出问题或者提出正确答案的意思。准确把握意译,是多数题目中准确在原文中定位信息、或者在迷惑选项中选出正确的那个,都有着重要的作用。 1、词汇题 解题方法:若认识,直接解题,没得说;若不认识,就只能推断了。 但是备考阶段最重要的一点。背单词!首先,考托福没有一定的词汇量等于直接酱油了,所以词汇量是一切的基础。 2、指代题 考点:句子直接词之间的关系 解题方法: (1)代词 a. 从句的主语指代主句的主宾语(使用属性判断,不用含义) b. 关系代词指代先行词(插入结构不影响指代关系) c. 重复概念指代: Tom and his cat(就近原则) d. some 和 others (2)名词 a. 优先选择题干的上下意词 m is a kind of M, M是m的上意词 b. 若上下意词不唯一则当作代词指代处理 注意: a.被指代对象往往在代词之前出现 b. 从句开头往后找答案 c. 代词和被指代对象的数性和性质必须一致 d. 指代的传递现象 3、句子简化题 解题方法: (1)确定题干句子中的逻辑成分 逻辑成分主要包括:关联词,动词,状语 而托福最爱考的逻辑主要是:因果,比较、最高级,否定 (2)确定与逻辑相关的语义 要依据最简化原则,抓句子中的逻辑要素。 因果的逻辑要素是:原因结果 比较的逻辑要素是:比较三要素 最高级 否定的逻辑要素是:作用对象 (3)选择与题干逻辑语义一致的选项 先主后次,从逻辑到语义(千万要保证逻辑正确)

托福考试改革后阅读部分基础入门常识介绍

托福考试改革后阅读部分基础入门常识介绍 托福考试在2019年8月进行了一次考试内容和流程方面的改革调整,阅读部分的变 动幅度较大。今天小编给大家带来了托福考试改革后阅读部分基础入门常识介绍,希 望能够帮助到大家,下面小编就和大家分享,来欣赏一下吧。 托福考试改革后阅读部分基础入门常识介绍 托福考试改革后阅读基础知识:阅读考试的量化指标 新托福阅读考试分为无阅读加试和有阅读加试两种。 无阅读加试的情况下,共有3篇文章,总计考试时间为54分钟,每篇文章的平均答 题时间为18分钟,考生可以自由分配3篇文章的阅读和解题时间。 有阅读加试的情况下,在已有的3篇文章及54分钟答题时间的基础上,再加1篇文章,共计72分钟,加试期间的文章的考试时间依然可以自由分配。 无论加试与否,每篇文章均为10道题目,各篇长度为700词左右。需要注意的是一 旦完成了一个部分的考试便可。 托福考试改革后阅读基础知识:阅读文章出处以及选材范围 作为一项语言能力测试,托福考试是考查考生能否具备足够的语言交流能力,以期在 北美完成正常的学习任务和研究工作。因此,其阅读文章原型大都选自美国大学本科 生使用的教材,以达到最佳的模拟测试效果。从选材范围可见:托福阅读的文章内容 对考生知识存储量的广度有一定的要求,但同时考虑到考生来自于不同的专业,对于 其他学科往往不具备专业素质,因此为了遵守考试公平性原则,文章均不对其所述及 的学科做过多深入的探讨。 托福考试改革后阅读基础知识:阅读文章类型及篇章段落结构 根据托福阅读文章的出处及选材范围,我们可以将这些文章归为三类:说明文、议论文、史实文。三者合一统称为:学术性文章。这种类型的文章,必须具备说理性特质,即行文逻辑大都遵循着相对固定的结构模式。 一句话:托福文章的篇章结构有规律可寻,段落组成有原则可守。 情人节阅读素材:单身不可怕 单身不可怕 Anyone who lives alone and manifests no longing to be in a relationship is in our times almost automatically viewed as pitiable.Moreover, they think that it is simply

托福阅读技巧

托福阅读技巧 托福阅读技巧 做阅读时的要求 1.每一篇文章第一次做时,尽量按照考试速度要求做。 2.做完后,接下来就要认真把文章读一遍,划出把文章里不懂的单词和长难句,查出单词意思,(借助语法知识)认真分析长难句, 同时还要把错题(包括碰巧猜对的题目)认真分析,特别是OG和汉客 笔记的题目(还有北极星最后几套ETS出的题目),一定要把题目涉 及的文章内容仔细看,甚至在文章中划出涉及考题的内容,培养对 易出题的考点的感觉,甚至揣摩ETS的出题思路。等到这些工作都 做完,这篇文章也就基本吃透了,这时再重新把文章读一遍,最好 多读两遍。这个过程其实就是精读了。只要时间允许,做过一次的 阅读文章最好都尽量精读,吃透它。光作对题只是一个浅显的要求,就像只顾吃饭,对材料认真分析、精读才是真正消化吸收。 3.等过了三五天,或者两三周以后,有空的话再把这篇文章看(做)一遍,作为巩固,复习,而且有时还会温故知新。 P.S如果时间不足,OG的文章是一定要精读的,而且题目也要仔细研究,这是出题思路和考试最为接近的资料。这些原则在新托福 阅读其实也是同样适用的,只要文章中出现如下内容,都要引起注意:举例证明,罗列式例举,转折(否定),因果,下定义,比较级(最高级),同位语(插入语),数字年代,特殊标点(引号,破折号等)。 阅读具体的做题顺序 阅读最基本的做题顺序有两种: 先读(全篇)文章再做题

先读题目再读文章(相应部分)然后做题 它们又能衍生变化出两种做题顺序:读一段文章,做相应的题目,然后再读一段,再做相应的题目;读文章各段首句,然后看题目,再 找文章内相应部分做题 对于广大非牛来说,可能“读文章各段首句,然后看题目,再找文章内相应部分做题”会比较合适,读各段首句可以粗略掌握文章 大意和结构,做题再看内容再做能大大降低“工作量”,但是这种 做法不利于对全文的消化吸收,从而不利于做总结题,也可能会遗 漏文章内的一些细节而导致做错细节题。而新托福目前反馈大都是 顺序出题的,所以建议练习时就尽量往“读一段做相应题目,再读 一段再做相应题目”这一顺序去靠拢,可以对文章有全面的把握, 虽然总量上还是要读完全文,但是对大脑的短期记忆的负担要比通 读全文再做题目小很多。 托福阅读题型破解 阅读一般来说是中国人的强项了,也是拿分的主力。如果你口语不牛,作文一般,还想考到100分,那么阅读应该保证在28分以上。 在IBT阅读中,甚至可以扩展到ETS所有考试的阅读题目中,如果要用一个词来概括的话,那就是paraphrase,意译。 无论是题干还是正确选项,大都能在原文中找出一句话来与之相对应。即题目是原文的意译。这种意译是通过同义词来完成的。即 题干中多用近义词来对原文中的句子进行替换,来达到提出问题或 者提出正确答案的意思。准确把握意译,是多数题目中准确在原文 中定位信息、或者在迷惑选项中选出正确的那个,都有着重要的作用。在后面的文章里我会结合实例解释这一点。 关于先看题目还是先看文章的问题。也就是做题时间安排的问题。小站君个人习惯是先用5—7分钟的时间通读全文,然后平均每个问 题有1分钟的时间来回答。由于对问题的回答建立在了熟悉全文的 基础上,每个问题又有足够的时间返回全文,每个选项都一一进行 斟酌。我认为这样准确率比较高。但有的朋友本着居家过日子的心,认为1000多字的文章只出十几个题,必然有一些信息是没用的。这

托福阅读教案

托福阅读教案 一、托福阅读特点 1、由说明文和议论文组成,说明文居多。 2、出题顺序与文章议论顺序基本一致。(但倒序归根结底有一定难度,唯一能产生难 度的倒序是文章中部的一道题考文章首段首句。)(9701P5租金的控制的目的) 3、文章内容长,题目多样 题目类型:(原则:文章读的不全,不太懂也能做对题) 能直接做的:词汇题、指代题、举例说明题、行数题、定义题 读完各段首末句的:主旨题、前后文延续题、结构题、结论题、态度题 需要用题干或选项关键词定位的:细节题(P49 Q10)、类比题(榫舌,榫眼Key hole)、列举题、推理题 二、如何准备托福阅读 提高实力需要从以下几方面提高: 1、单词:词汇是最基本阅读元素,而且托福阅读中词汇题目会有15道左右。托福考试中 ETS会设置词汇障碍:超频词汇(canopy)、熟词僻义(save)、词性活用(arch)。在平时训练中碰到生词,先不要查而去做:跳、换、猜。(ERA) 猜的方法:构词法homogeneous heterogeneous 利用上下文语言环境 联想法:chaos crash flash smash ash abash cash 2、复杂句子:(heart sank) 名词性从句,定语从句,并列结构,分词结构,倒装结构(系表主),虚拟语气(had it been) 3、逻辑思维 句子之间有逻辑关系,构成文章整体。 尤其是对应重复关系: A.单词提示also, other, another, and, or And P40 L23(print); P156 L16 Or P31 L3,L4,; L5; Also P74 L22 Other P34 L8;; P62 L16; P180 L13-L14 Anther Passage66 第二段 B.句子结构提示 P9 Q9 P40 L2; P74 L3+L9; P92 第二段; P122 L3, L4, L5 提高解题方法需要明确以下思路:先浏览文章,再看题目,有目的去精读or 先把课文读一遍,然后再把不能直接做出的题目按照方法1做出来,但读课文的速度一定要快。解题方法 1、浏览文章,重精读文章各段首句,掌握文章主题、论述方向、整体结构。如果文章 首段二句出现转折,一定要看。 P234 (Passage79 ) 2、按顺序做题目,回原文找答案。 三、三种回原文定位方法 确定答案出处———关键词,题干提示,出题顺序,主题句;确定答案———精读定位到的

托福阅读题型分类

托福阅读题型分为几大类 第一大类又被分为8个小类,分别是:Factual Information questions、Negative Factual Information questions、Inference questions、Rhetorical Purpose questions、Vocabulary questions、Reference questions、Sentence Simplification questions 和Insert Text question。这8个小类的题型称之为基础题型,也就是考生能够通过训练和学习在短期内提高的部分,这个部分几乎很少涉及到原文的主旨或者作者的态度,基本以考察原文信息和相关信息定位为主,在新东方托福课堂上,老师都会给学生一套快速定位信息和判别选项正误的技巧和方法,从各类题目的出题特征线索可以入手,例如,在考察细节题的时候,出题者更加倾向对于原文同义改写的考察,比如将原文词汇转换成同义词,将句子换一种表述方法等;对于修辞目的题的考察,需要考生先定位题干中涉及信息的具体位置,然后通过逻辑关键词向前找出概括、总结类的句子作为答案。整体来说,解答这些类题型的时候,考生应该尽可能少地加入自己的个人理解和想法,根据“文章讲什么就选什么”的原则来解答问题。 第二大类分为两个小类:Prose Summary 和Fill in a table,这两个小类比较之前的8小类来说更加倾向于考察考生对原文整体结构的把握和理解,解答这样问题的时候,考生应该能够在通读文章的基础上对文章内容进行总结性分析,进而能够辨别文章中哪些信息是主要信息,哪些是次要信息,Prose Summary 是给出考生一个对文章概括的句子,让考生在6个待选选项中选出概括性句子作为答案,而Fill in a table 则是给出一个文章相关信息的表格,并将其中一个部分挖空,同样需要考生在待选选项中选出相关句子或信息填回表格。 综上,美联英语学习网建议考生在备考阶段可以根据自己的弱项以及两大类所考察的重点来进行学习和训练,从而提高自己的阅读分数。

TOEFL阅读讲义 1. 句子简化题 The Great Red Spot One distinctive feature of the planet Jupiter is the Great Red Spot, a massive oval of swirling reddish-brown clouds. Were Earth to be juxtaposed with the Great Red Spot, our planet would be dwarfed in comparison, with a diameter less than half that of the Great Red Spot. The Spot’s clouds, most likely tinted red as a result of the phosphorus that they contain, circulate in a counterclockwise direction. The outer winds require six Earth days to complete the circumference of the Great Red Spot, a length of time indicative of vastness of the Great Red Spot. 1. Which of the sentences below best expresses the essential information in the highlighted sentence in the passage? Incorrect choices change the meaning in important ways or leave out essential information. A. The density of the Great Red spot is much higher than that the Earth. B. If the diameter of the Great Red Spot were doubled, it would equal that of the Earth. C. By placing the Earth next to the Great Red Spot, one could see the Earth has a much smaller diameter. D. Because the Earth is close to the Great Red Spot, Earth is influenced by its huge size. 答案:C 2.Which of the sentences below best expresses the essential information in the highlighted sentence in the passage? Incorrect choices change the meaning in important ways or leave out essential information. A. The Earth’s outer winds move a distance equal to the circumference of the Great Red Spot. B.
