在备考托福的过程中，听说读写四个单项，其实仔细分析起来，托福阅读是最容易提升分数的一个单项，因为只要你单词夯实扎实、反应迅速，语法条理清晰，那么去看懂一个句子的话就很简单了，这样文章都能读的懂，再加上做题技巧，想拿一个高分肯定是没有问题，但是不少的学生就是卡在了这个阅读速度上。接下来，前程百利小编和大家分享如何借助短语帮助大家提高托福阅读答题速度。
所以问题来了，时间是有限的，我们要做的就是在有限的时间内提高自己的速度，在掌握好单词，语法的基础上，熟悉所有常见的短语和词组是非常有必要的，它能让你迅速捋清句子的整个框架，比如我们常用的so...that...这个常用表达，在The resources are so quickly used that they will be used up quickly.我们第一眼看到so,就会去想想有没有that,快速找到that之后，整个句子的框架就出来了，如此……以至于……这样句子就容易去看懂翻译好了;如果学生对so...that...短语不熟，反倒以为that和后边的句子形成一个什么特别的句子，这样理解起来就麻烦多了，所以熟记常用短语，切记不要乱点鸳鸯谱，词组本来就是有对的。
在这儿举这个简单的例子呢，只是想说明固定短语和习惯用法的重要性，再次呢，我在这儿列举了些常用短语，并且附上例句，帮助小伙伴们能够熟悉用法，希望能够帮到小伙伴们备战托福，助你们一臂之力!
