托福阅读中的题目定位其实不难，但前提是定位信息要选准，也就是定位的点要对。通常情况下我们优先选择作为定位信息的是：专有名词、术语、物质名词、特殊名称等，但在做题过程中要具体情况具体分析，考生们千万不可以一概而论。接下来前程百利小编为考生带来托福阅读解题定位策略。
考生要学会跳跃式定位，即根据文章中特殊的标点符号以及最醒目的词来搜索我们真正需要的定位词。
例:Plant communities assemble themselves flexibly, and their structure depends on the particular history of the area. Ecologists use the term “succession” to refer to the changes that happen in plant communities and ecosystems over time. The first community in a succession is called a pioneer community, while the long-lived community at the end of succession is called a climax community. Pioneer and successional plant communities are said to change over periods from 1 to 500 years. These changes—in plant numbers and the mix of species—are cumulative. Climax communities themselves change but over periods of time greater than about 500 years.
According to paragraph 1, which of the following is NOT true of climax communities?
A. They occur at the end of a succession.
B. They last longer than any other type of community.
C. The numbers of plants in them and the mix of species do not change
D. They remain stable for at least 500 years at a time.
这个题大家都会选择用climax communities去定位，但在定位过程中会出现很多问题。首先考生要学会跳跃式定位，即根据文章中特殊的标点符号以及最醒目的词来搜索我们真正需要的关键词。文中的particular是加了阴影的，succession是在引号里面的，都非常醒目，通过看这两个词我们会发现它们附近没有我们需要的东西;再比较突出的就是数字及破折号，在500的上方有a climax community，但它是单数，与题干关键词不完全匹配，细节题讲究的是精确定位，所以我们应该选择500斜下方的Climax communities，即该段的最后一句话。
如:题干为“Paragraph 2 suggests that which of the following is one of the most
important factors in determining differences in feeding preferences of East African
herbivores?”
解析：该题干中有专有名词“East African”，如果考生们用该词定位，肯定会导致无法定位到该题对应文章内容的准确位置。无法准确定位，必然耗时，而且影响考试心情。实际上考生们在考试时应该注意该篇文章的标题为“FEEDING HABITS OF EAST AFRICAN HERBIVORES”，标题中已经出现“EAST AFRICAN HERBIVORES”，因此我们可以得知该篇文章整篇都是关于EAST AFRICAN HERBIVORES 的，如果还是以它为定位词，肯定定位不到所需信息的准确位置。而该题的定位信息应该为“differences in feeding preferences”。
以上就是前程百利小编为考生带来托福阅读解题定位策略。希望考生在备考过程中可以注意这些定位的问题。预祝大家托福考试取得好成绩!
