部分的难点和重点，要花大力气才能有所突破。具体题型：
1）篇章总结题(Prose Summary items)：考查考生理解全篇中心 思想 和相关重要
信息的能力。考生通过区分主要和次要观点，以及文章没有提及的观点达到总结全篇
的目的。
e.g. Drag your answer choices to the spaces where they belong.
● The political system of the United States in the mid nineteenth
century was strongly influenced by the social and economic circumstances
of the time.
● __________________________________________________________
● __________________________________________________________
● __________________________________________________________
Answer choices:
The Democratic and Whig Parties developed in response to the needs of
competing economic and political constituencies.
During Andrew Jackson’ s two terms as President， he served as leader
of both the Democratic and Whig Parties.
The Democratic Party primarily represented the interests of the
market， banks， and commerce.
In contrast to the Democrats， the Whigs favored government aid for
education.
A fundamental difference between Whigs and Democrats involved the
importance of the market in society.
The role of government in the lives of the people was an important
political distinction between the two parties.
这一题型要求通过对主题句（topic sentences） 的选择和重组，完成一个完整
的全篇总结。对全文的综合理解和掌握，以及快速的归纳总结能力是考查的重点。欲
获高分，考生应将功夫下在平时：经常锻炼自己在完成某篇章的阅读后，迅速写出总
结（summary）的能力。
2）图表题(Schematic Table items)：考查考生从文章中归纳和组织主要观点和
其他相关重要信息的能力。
e.g. Drag your answer choices to the spaces where they belong.
constructive

Select 3 answer choices.

destructive

Answer choices:
Collision of Earth’ s crustal plates
Formation of grass roots in soil
Separation of continents
Earthquakes Volcanic activity
Wind-driven sand Weather processes
这种题型是听力部分填表题在阅读部分的深化和发展。它同样是考查考生对分散
信息进行简单归类和整理的能力。掌握听力填表题的考生应当能较好应对这一题型。
如果考生通过上下文推测理解了constructive（构筑）和destructive（解构）的确切
含义，此题便迎刃而解。
面对全新的 托福 阅读考试，考生如何迅速提高阅读水平呢?下面就简单地从几方面
做一概述：
1.在复习备考时，应做到扬长避短(adopt their good points and avoid their
shortcomings)，把复习的重点放在新出现的和自己相对生疏的题型上，特别是篇章应
用题和基础理解题中的插话题和修辞目的题。当然，传统题型中的难点（如推论题
Inference items)也应特别下功夫才行。
2.阅读数量多多益善，阅读质量应精泛结合(combine intensive reading with
extensive reading)，确实把阅读的复习落在实处。
3.精读以课堂教学和培训为主，课余复习和研读为辅。精读教材应选择经得起时
间考验的传统教材(classic textbooks that stood the test of time)，不追求速度
和进度，重在质量和效率，并在巩固的基础上不断提高（improve on the basis of
consolidation） 。
4.背诵(recitation)不失为精读复习巩固的好办法。背诵不应贪大求全，应重点
突出。精选背诵的材料至关重要。
5.泛读(extensive reading)要泛。首先，在材料的选择上要题材广泛(the wide
range of subjects)；其次，难度应控制在每页少于5个生词；再次是广泛涉猎，书刊
杂志的目录、新闻标题和导语、广告、通知和旅游宣传材料都不妨看看。
6.注意在阅读时自己问答下列问题：
Who is writing?
Who are they writing to?
What are they writing about?
Where are they writing?
Why are they writing?
7.常备一个生词本(a glossary notebook)，定期记忆、复习和整理(renew)生词
