託福閱讀別看技巧了!這兩點你做到沒
很多同學剛開始複習託福閱讀的時候，比較專注於託福閱讀技巧練習。找關鍵詞、關鍵句之類的，小編覺得託福閱讀需要掌握一定技巧，但好像本末倒置了。纔剛開始複習，不應該要好好提升託福閱讀能力嗎?那麼託福閱讀能力又該怎樣提高呢?下面和小編一起看看吧!
託福閱讀別看技巧了!這兩點你做到沒?
一、託福閱讀看詞彙
我給自己定的託福閱讀目標是100分，但是第一次做真題下來，分數簡直慘不忍睹!這可怎麼是好?在閱讀訓練中，我發現詞彙很多不認識，大大影響閱讀速度和理解，所以我覺得詞彙量真的是很重要的因素。我大學四級才440分的水平，基本就沒什麼詞彙量。所以我開始沉下心來準備背單詞征程，雖然這個過程中冗長且乏味。我一共啃了兩本單詞書：大學四級單詞新東方和託福單詞21天。亂序版的大學四級單詞新東方背了7遍，呵呵，可想而知我有多熟。把書扔掉的時候很多書頁已經爛了。託福單詞21天背了4遍，不認識的單詞，能夠通過單詞的長相詞根詞綴等準確的猜出單詞的意思。最後是一些分類詞彙也間歇的看了一下。覺得詞彙量有着長足的進步。
二、託福閱讀遇到長難句怎麼辦?
託福閱讀中遇到長難句子基本就懵比，是不是你的寫照。而且長難句的運用穿插在託福閱讀十大題型中的任何一類，它不僅與句子簡化題息息相關，更與細節題、推斷題、修辭目的題等其它題型相扣。而且看不懂長難句，無法迅速抓住這個句子的重點，託福閱讀基本就死，就算答案定位準確了，也無法做對題目。
三、託福閱讀如何練習看懂長難句
(1)找到合適的長難句+拆解/翻譯練習
語法較規整且有很多的變化的長難句最適合用來做練習，接下來，就是做最基本的長句拆解翻譯練習。長句如何拆解，這個說起來挺複雜的，可以關注我們公衆號：就愛說英語，會有相關資料推送。
(2)有一定邏輯、語法基礎之後，可以去練習句子簡化題。
(3)使用閱讀文章中長的段落，進行上下文練習，這時的練習不僅僅包括對單個長難句的理解，還包括對段落特徵詞、功能詞的理解，段落結構的理解。做完這部分的練習你會發現長句也並非那麼長了。(更多託福培訓內容：)
四、最後我的託福閱讀分數...
最後，我的託福閱讀分數上了28分，讓我欣喜若狂。主要是紮實的單詞基礎以及對長難句子的訓練有效果。所以最後總結一下，背單詞真得很重要。不是背完就可以，單詞書一定要連軸轉，碾壓它。
殺託之路，信心是必不可少的，如果你們覺得戰勝託福閱讀沒有信心，看看我這個學渣，連我都可以過，你們也可以!

PASSAGE 21
The sculptural legacy that the new United States inherited from its colonial predecessors was far from a rich one, and in fact, in 1776 sculpture as an art form was still in the hands of artisans and craftspeople. Stone carvers engraved their motifs of skulls and crossbones and other religious icons of death into the gray slabs that we still see standing today in old burial grounds. Some skilled craftspeople made intricately carved wooden ornamentations for furniture or architectural decorations, while others caved wooden shop signs and ships' figureheads. Although they often achieved expression and formal excellence in their generally primitive style, they remained artisans skilled in the craft of carving and constituted a group distinct from what we normally think of as sculptors in today's use of the word.
On the rare occasion when a fine piece of sculpture was desired, Americans turned to foreign sculptors, as in the 1770's when the cities of New York and Charleston, South Carolina, commissioned the Englishman Joseph Wilton to make marble statues of William Pitt. Wilton also made a lead equestrian image of King George III that was created in New York in 1770 and torn down by zealous patriots six years later. A few marble memorials with carved busts, urns, or other decorations were produced in England and brought to the colonies to be set in the walls of churches — as in King's Chapel in Boston. But sculpture as a high art, practiced by artists who knew both the artistic theory of their Renaissance-Baroque-Rococo predecessors and the various technical procedures of modeling, casting, and carving rich three-dimensional forms, was not known among Americans in 1776. Indeed, for many years thereafter, the United States had two groups from which to choose — either the local craftspeople or the imported talent of European sculptors.
The eighteenth century was not one in which powered sculptural conceptions were developed. Add to this the timidity with which unschooled artisans — originally trained as stonemasons, carpenters, or cabinetmakers — attacked the medium from which they sculpture made in the United States in the late eighteenth century.
1. What is the main idea of the passage ?
(A) There was great demand for the work of eighteenth-century artisans.
(B) Skilled sculptors did not exist in the United States in the 1770's.
(C) Many foreign sculptors worked in the United States after 1776.
(D) American sculptors were hampered by a lack of tools and materials.
2. The word motifs in line 3 is closest in meaning to
(A) tools
(B) prints
(C) signatures
(D) designs

(A) European sculptors

(B) decorations
(C) ornamentations
(D) shop signs
5. The word distinct in line 9 is closest in meaning to

(B) assembled
(C) notable
(D) inferior
6. The word rare in line 11 is closest in meaning to
(A) festive

8. What can be inferred about the importation of marble memorials from England?
(A) Such sculpture was less expensive to produce locally than to import
(B) Such sculpture was not available in the United States.
(C) Such sculpture was as prestigious as those made locally.
(D) The materials found abroad were superior.
9. How did the work of American carvers in 1776 differ from that of contemporary sculptors?
(A) It was less time-consuming
(B) It was more dangerous.
(C) It was more expensive.
(D) It was less refined.

PASSAGE 22
Throughout the nineteenth century and into the twentieth, citizens of the United States maintained a bias against big cities. Most lived on farms and in small towns and believed cities to be centers of corruption, crime, poverty, and moral degradation. Their distrust was caused, in part, by a national ideology that proclaimed farming the greatest occupation and rural living superior to urban living. This attitude prevailed even as the number of urban dwellers increased and cities became an essential feature of the national landscape. Gradually, economic reality overcame ideology. Thousands abandoned the precarious life on the farm for more secure and better paying jobs in the city. But when these people migrated from the countryside, they carried their fears and suspicious with them. These new urbanities, already convinced that cities were overwhelmed with great problems, eagerly embraced the progressive reforms that promised to bring order out of the chaos of the city.
One of many reforms came in the area of public utilities. Water and sewerage systems were usually operated by municipal governments, but the gas and electric networks were privately owned. Reformers feared that the privately owned utility companies would charge exorbitant rates for these essential services and deliver them only to people who could afford them. Some city and state governments responded by regulating the utility companies, but a number of cities began to supply these services themselves. Proponents of these reforms argued that public ownership and regulation would insure widespread access to these utilities and guarantee a fair price.
While some reforms focused on government and public behavior, others looked at the cities as a whole. Civic leaders, convinced that physical environment influenced human behavior, argued that cities should develop master plans to guide their future growth and development. City planning was nothing new, but the rapid industrialization and urban growth of the late nineteenth century took place without any consideration for order. Urban renewal in the twentieth century followed several courses. Some cities introduced plans to completely rebuild the city core. Most other cities contented themselves with zoning plans for regulating future growth. Certain parts of town were restricted to residential use, while others were set aside for industrial or commercial development.
