事实信息题是托福阅读每次必考题型,而且每次题量较多,通常每篇文章3-6个左右。下面前程百利小编就给大家分享托福阅读事实信息题的解题方法和技巧,具体内容如下:
问题形式
托福阅读事实信息题要求考生们识别出文章明确阐述的事实信息,这些信息主要集中于事实、细节、定义或者作者阐述的其他信息。这种题型一般要求考生辨识文章某一部分提到的具体信息,不会问及整篇文章的主旨。通常情况下,相关信息可能是一句话或两句话。
这种题目的提问方式通常为:
☆ According to the passage, which/ what/ why/how/who/where/when….
☆ The author’s description of X mentions which of the following?
☆ According to the paragraph, X occurred because …
解题步骤
1. 看题目,找关键词;
2. 带着关键词在文章中定位相关信息;
3. 看选项,找到和原文对应的改写/同义替换。
注意:
1. 主要考察考生的定位能力
2. 此种题型量大,但难度不大
3. 做题过程中要排除那些错误选项,错误的选项通常为
☻重复文章中的信息,但并没有回答问题;
☻错误表达文章中的信息或观点;
☻与文章中观点不符;
☻与文章无关或者文章中没有被提到。
另外小编建议考生在做题过程中要巧用一些特定的表达方式(即关系词),因为它们可以帮助考生们理解句子与句子以及段落之间各个观点的关系。
下面我们通过两个例子来示范这种题目的答题步骤及方法。
例1:It should be obvious that cetaceans--- whales, porpoises, and dolphins--- are mammals. They breathe through lungs, not through gills, and give birth to live young. Their streamlined bodies, the absence of hind legs and the presence of a fluke and blowhole cannot disguise their affinities with land dwelling mammals. However, unlike the cases of sea otters and pinnipeds (seals, sea lions, and walruses, whose limbs are functional both on land and sea), it is not easy to envision what the first whales lookes like. Extinct but already fully marine cetaceans are known from the fossil record. How was the gap between a walking mammal and a swimming whale bridged? Missing until recently were fossils clearly intermediate, or transitional, between land mammals and cetaceans.
In paragraph 1, what does the author say about the presence of a blowhole in cetaceans?
○ It clearly indicates that cetaceans are mammals.
○ It cannot conceal the fact that cetaceans are mammals.
○ It is the main difference between cetaceans and land-dwelling mammals.
○ It cannot yield clues about the origins of cetaceans.
解题步骤:首先我们读题目,确定关键词为“a blowhole in cetaceans”;接下来带着关键词在文章中定位相关信息为“the presence of a fluke and blowhole cannot disguise their affinities with land dwelling mammals”;然后读选项,找到和原文对应的内容的改写为“It cannot conceal the fact that cetaceans are mammals”, 因此正确答案为第二个选项。
例2:The fossil consists of a complete skull of an archaeocyte, an extinct group of ancestors of modern cetaceans. Although limited to a skull, the Pakicetus fossil provides precious details on the origins of cetaceans. The skull is cetacean-like but its jawbones lack the enlarged space that is filled with fat or oil and used for receiving underwater sound in modern whales. Pakicetus probably detected sound through the ear opening as in land mammals. The skull also lacks a blowhole, another cetacean adaptation for diving. Other features, however, show experts that Pakicetus is a transitional form between a group of extinct flesh-eating mammals, the mesonychids, and cetaceans. It has been suggested that Pakicetus fed on fish in shallow water and was not yet adapted for life in the open ocean. It probably bred and give birth on land.
Pakicetus and modern cetaceans have similar
○ hearing structures
○ adaptation for living
○ skull shapes
○ breeding locations
解题步骤:首先我们读题目,确定关键词为“Pakicetus”和“similar”;接下来带着关键词在文章中定位相关信息为“Although limited to a skull, the Pakicetus fossil provides precious details on the origins of cetaceans. The skull is cetacean-like…”;然后读选项,找到和原文对应的内容的改写为“skull shapes”, 因此正确答案为第三个选项。
