【实例解析】逃离备考陷阱 精准定位托福阅读 在备考托福中，阅读这一部分的往往是考生用时比较少的，这也是因为绝大多数考试对于阅读能力还是比较自信的。认为与其将时间用在阅读上，不如多多用在口语或听力方面。然而这种认知不一定完全准确。 从托福的评分标准来看，他们对于阅读的高分评分标准是22—30分。而事实上，阅读如果达不到25分以上，总分想要过百会比较困难。因为在这时候，你已经把分数的压力转嫁听力、口语、写作上面，对冲击高分的压力也就更大。由此可见，阅读取得高分对于获得百分以上的托福成绩是一种保证! 所以，在这里要特别提醒一下托福考试对于细节题的精准定位，比如下面这个例题： Two species of deer have been prevalent in the Puget Sound area of Washington State in the Pacific Northwest of the United States. The black-tailed deer, a lowland, west-side cousin of the mule deer of eastern Washington, is now the most common. The other species, the Columbian white-tailed deer, in earlier times was common in the open prairie country, it is now restricted to the low, marshy islands and flood plains along the lower Columbia River. According to paragraph 1, which of the following is true of the white-tailed deer of Puget Sound? A. It is native to lowlands and marshes. B. It is more closely related to the mule deer of eastern Washington than to other types of deer. C. It has replaced the black-tailed deer in the open prairie. D. It no longer lives in a particular type of habitat that it once occupied. 这是一个典型的细节题，在该题题干中，有的考生会选择Puget Sound作为关键词回原文定位，因为它是专有名词，在文中会比较显眼。但是如果一旦选择了这个地名，势必会定位在该段的第一句话，托福细节题往往是定位在哪句就在哪句找答案，这样的话考生是选不出正确答案的，因为定位不精确。其实正确的关键词应该是white-tailed deer，这个用连字符连接的词在文章中也是比较醒目的，按该词定位应是该段最后一句话。所以根据它的意思应该选D项。其中A项与原句意思不符，B和C都与定位句信息无关。 我们再来看另外一个否定事实细节题的例子： 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 pe
