智课网TOEFL备考资料名师揭秘托福阅读要点：细节题考查精确定位 ·考生必备：2010年托福考试时间表 ·新东方名师详解新托福阅读考试十种题型 ·新东方名师新托福118分实战经验分享 ·指导：如何在新托福阅读中取得高分 在新托福考试中，很多考生最容易忽略的就是托福阅读，因为在跟各种英语考试的过招中，绝大部分人会感觉阅读是自己的强项。然而这种认知不一定准确。在青岛新东方的托福培训课程当中，发现不少这样的学员，自认托福阅读不错，实际考出来的分数只有22分左右，甚至会更低。ETS对托福阅读高水平（High level）的评定标准是22—30分。而事实上，托福阅读如果达不到25分以上，总分想要过百会比较困难，因为这相当于把挣分的压力转移到了大部分人比较弱的托福听力、托福口语、托福写作上面。由此可见，托福阅读取得高分对于获得百分以上的托福成绩是一种保证！ 那么为什么很多自认为阅读不错的考生不一定能在这一部分熠熠生辉呢？ 这是因为新托福阅读考试存在一些“绊马索”。 “绊马索”一：细节题考查精确定位。 托福阅读中的细节题其实不难，但前提是定位的点要对，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
