加強泛讀能力提升托福閱讀

　　備考過程中提升托福閱讀泛讀能力中非常重要。由于托福閱讀不需要考生的學(xué)術(shù)背景知識，在做題時往往需要的就是在段落或者文章中找答案，而不是同學(xué)的臆想。要在文章中找答案，就不得不瀏覽段落尋找題干的關(guān)鍵詞，那么，這個瀏覽的過程，就需要借助泛讀。因此，加強泛讀能力對提升托?？荚嚦煽兪怯泻艽髱椭?。

　　那么，如何可以有效的練習(xí)泛讀呢?首先，要了解托福閱讀段落的結(jié)構(gòu)。最常見的閱讀段落有兩種：條理型和“卷心菜型”。今天我們先來看一下條理型的段落，如下所示：

　　How might this inability to recall early experiences be explained? The sheer passage of time does not account for it; adults have excellent recognition of pictures of people who attended high school with them 35 years earlier. Another seemingly plausible explanation—that infants do not form enduring memories at this point in development—also is incorrect. Children two and a half to three years old remember experiences that occurred in their first year, and eleven month olds remember some events a year later. Nor does the hypothesis that infantile amnesia reflects repression—or holding back—of sexually charged episodes explain the phenomenon. While such repression may occur, people cannot remember ordinary events from the infant and toddler periods either. (TPO6-3 Infantile Amnesia)

　　這段一上來先是一個問句，引出這段要講的內(nèi)容：給出關(guān)于早期記憶缺失的幾種解釋。下面分別用... does not account for it...; Another seemingly plausible explanation... also is incorrect. ..; Nor does.... explain the phenomenon....將三種解釋一一否定;每個觀點后都跟著一句話，作為一個例子表示一下為什么給出的解釋不靠譜：“adults have excellent recognition of pictures of people who attended high school with them 35 years earlier”體現(xiàn)出時間流逝確實不能解釋為什么會想不起來小時候的事;“Children two and a half to three years old remember experiences that occurred in their first year, and eleven month olds remember some events a year later”也推翻了“小孩不能形成長期記憶”的謬論，“While such repression may occur, people cannot remember ordinary events from the infant and toddler periods either. ”挑戰(zhàn)了“與性有關(guān)的事件的壓抑造成了想不起來”的觀點。

　　因此我們在讀這樣類型的段落時，自然不是每句話每個詞都得讀到，我們要重點讀的其實就是其中的觀點。對于細(xì)節(jié)，比如舉例，只要清楚該細(xì)節(jié)是支持誰的即可，所以就是我們可以略讀的部分。另外，一個觀點+例子結(jié)束之后，要過渡到下個觀點時，往往會有一些標(biāo)志詞提醒我們，最常見的就是：Furthermore, also, another。抓住這些詞，我們就能夠判斷清楚究竟這段里講了幾個要點。這些要點在我們做題的時候，往往也能幫我們快速定位所需要的信息。無論考到的是細(xì)節(jié)還是觀點，就只要看相關(guān)的那一部分信息(要點+細(xì)節(jié))即可，就不必要總在全段里看來看去了。
