托福阅读不能只靠刷题背单词
托福阅读怎么备考呢?我们一起来学习一下吧,下面小编就和大家分享,来欣赏一下吧。
托福阅读只靠刷题背单词?难怪你分数一直上不去。
在上完托福各个阶段课程之后,学生经常会向我提出一个问题:
“优优老师,那我上完托福阅读课之后要做什么呢?刷题背单词就可以了吗?”
诚然,是我们准备阅读的必经之路。但是,只靠刷题背单词,不一定会达到理想成绩,尤其是超高分数(29+)。
我见过很多只靠此法准备阅读的考生,最终结果都不尽人意,成绩一直处于不上不下而且无法进步的状态。因此,本文从不同角度来讲解托福阅读的课后复习方法,旨在为托福宝宝们提供明确备考道路。
Step 1: 做TPO
大家都知道TPO的价值,尤其是最近更新的TPO40之后的套题,所以刷题是很有必要的。刷题分成两个阶段:
l 考试前N+1个月(N>1)
l 考试前1个月
如果你是一个初学者或者是学了很久而且离考试还有至少一个月的考生,那么你就要从TPO1开始做题了,每天一套。
做题的时候,不用限时,以精读为主,旨在熟悉托福阅读中常考的文章套路,语法现象,逻辑关系,做题方法。切忌走马观花,要求速度,这样得不偿失。
在考前一个月的时候,开始单篇限时20min,坚持13天;考前12天的时候,套题限时1h,考前5天连续模考,每天一套TPO。
如果你是一个离考试还有一个月或以内的学生,那你就要从TPO25开始做题了,同样是每天一套。做的时候,需要限时:前13天单篇限时20min,后12天套题限时1h,后5天模考,主要是为了模仿并熟悉真实考试情况和流程。
Step 2: 分析错题
“知错能改,善莫大焉。”无论做了什么错事,首先要明白自己的错误原因,而后才能及时改正。做题也是一样。如果只是闷着头做题,不去反思,那结果和没做是一样的:重蹈覆辙。
所以,要善于去分析错题,总结错误原因,找出症结所在。考生需要问自己以下几个问题:
l 我经常错什么题?
l 为什么出错?单词不认识?句子不理解?逻辑不清楚?做题方法不到位?心态问题?眼高手低,轻敌了?
解决方法:
单词不认识:把文章汇中不认识的单词摘录下来,每日反复背诵,直到记下来为止;
句子不理解:分析错题句子主干和其他语法成分,保证没有问题;
逻辑不清楚:分析错题定位附近句子主干和句间逻辑,明白文章要表达的含义;
做题方法不到位:熟悉总结常错题型的做题方法并记忆该方法,保证下次不再犯类似的问题;
心态问题:用心理暗示调整自己的状态,让自己变成熟;
眼高手低:不积跬步无以至千里,脚踏实地查漏补缺,猥琐发育,别浪;
……
(以上只是列举了一些常见的问题和相应的处理方法,不全之处,望海涵及补充。)
Step 3: 记忆生词
众所周知,读懂一篇中文文章的前提就是要识字。
同样,如果想要看懂英文文章,必须要认识单词。“认识单词”不是说认识所有的单词,无论专业或者非专业词汇。对于托福阅读来讲,考生需要认识并记忆的是一些实词如动词,形容词,名词,副词等等。
把握好这些实词,即使是不认识一些专业词汇,也能够大体明白文章在讲什么。所以,如果在做题过程中碰到很多不认识的实词,那就需要记录下来并反复背诵。
Step 4: 分析长难句,熟悉语法现象
托福阅读中长难句的量是比较大的,尤其是历史和艺术类文章,再加上考试时间比较短,很多学生无法平心静气理解文章并解题。所以,考生需要在做完题之后精读文章中的长难句,熟悉常考的句式和语法现象,并识记难点,为以后考试快速准确阅读做准备。
Step 5: 分析句间和段落间逻辑关系及段落大意
托福是语言类英语考试,对于学生的理解能力和逻辑思维要求并没有像其他研究生考试(如GMAT,GRE)那么高。但是,如果想要拿到托福阅读的高分,没有相称的逻辑理解能力是不行的。很多同学可以理解单个句子,但是当句子堆在一起的时候,就懵了。
该情况的出现往往是因为没有理清上下句逻辑关系。一旦考生没有理解上下句逻辑关系,那相关段落也无法准确把握了。从而导致一系列问题。因此,一定要花时间分析句间逻辑。
同样的,考生也需要去分析段落大意和段落间逻辑关系,因为文章结构题和总结题考学生对文章段落大意和逻辑的把握。忽略了这一点,这些题就很难解决了。
以上就是跟各位分享的有关托福阅读的课后复习方法,希望能给备考的同学带来帮助,祝大家早日考取想要的分数。

Task 1
考题回忆
在路边的快餐店吃饭的优缺点。
话题分类
事件
解题思路
关于吃快餐的话题是以前真考中出现过的题目。优点,可以从便捷、高效、实惠等方面展开。缺点可以从对健康的危害、健康饮食的重要性等方面回答。
参考范文
The biggest advantage of eating fast food is probably convenience, especially when i am quite busy. For example, we have a fairly short lunch break. when I eat in McDonald's next to my office, I just take order and sit down eat almost immediately. it only takes less than 20 minutes. it saves me a lot of time.
However, eating too much fast food is clearly harmful to health. fast food such as fried chicken, burgers and pizza is always greasy and contains too much calories but little vitamins, which leads to obesity. I have to admit that I’ve been putting on a few pounds since I started eating fast food for lunch. it’s not a healthy eating habit.

The man has a problem a schedule conflict. He will go to Jordan to do history research next semester. But his Arabic is not good enough so he needs to attend Arabic course. However, it conflicts with his French course, which is a required course.
There are two possible solutions to the problem. First, he can have free online classes with people from Jordan. Second, he can practice with classmate Mark.
Personally, I prefer the first solution because in this way he can learn from native speakers. His learning will be more effective. The second solution is not ideal because his classmate Mark is also a beginner. Although Mark have attended classes, he is not an advanced learner. He may make mistake and he can offer less help to the man.
