托福閱讀那些隱性題目

　　托福閱讀為我們大張旗鼓的玩起了弦外之音這樣的事情，這一點尤其在托福TPO里面體現得尤為明顯。

　　我們當然還是一道托福閱讀真題及答案說話，首先看一下托福真題TPO1里面的一段。

　　Groundwater is the word used to describe water that saturates the ground, filling all the available spaces. By far the most abundant type of groundwater is meteoric water; this is the groundwater that circulates as part of the water cycle. Ordinary meteoric water is water that has soaked into the ground from the surface, from precipitation (rain and snow) and from lakes and streams. There it remains, sometimes for long periods, before emerging at the surface again. At first thought it seems incredible that there can be enough space in the “solid” ground underfoot to hold all this water.

　　題目：

　　Which of the following can be inferred from paragraph 1 about the ground that we walk on?

　　A It cannot hold rainwater for long periods of time.

　　B It prevents most groundwater from circulating.

　　C It has the capacity to store large amounts of water.

　　D It absorbs most of the water it contains from rivers.

　　很顯然原文At first thought it seems incredible that there can be enough space in the “solid” ground underfoot to hold all this water. 為我們提到很難想象，在如此“堅實”的地下，會有足夠的空間來盛如此之多的水，這里就很隱晦的告訴我們其實地下并不“堅實”，而是還有很多的空間，來盛放groundwater，因此我們得到的正確答案就是C選項，也就是原來我們行走的這片土地之下還有足夠的能力來承載如此之多的水。

　　很顯然，這里也是很隱晦的告訴我們地下空間其實是很大的，這類托福閱讀題型已是不少見。

　　很多托福閱讀題型都沒有直接給我們關鍵詞等類的提示，而是需要我們弄懂它的弦外之音，這需要平時鍛煉我們的反應能力。以上這道托福閱讀真題及答案的分析，就很好的闡釋了這類題型解答方法，希望可以幫助大家。
