教学过程中经常遇到学生对于长难句的分析和理解不到位的情况,长难句的分析和理解会影响学生在托福阅读的理解,尤其是在句子简化题。这次题目解析针对于TPO的一个长难句: Sediments are also dropped where a river slows on entering a lake or the sea, the deposited sediments are on a lake floor or the seafloor at first, but will be located inland at some future date, when the sea level falls or the land rises; such beds are sometimes thousands of meters thick.
难句类型: 复杂修饰+插入成分 本句的主句结构应当是Sediments are also dropped,but will be located inland at some future date; such beds are sometimes thousands of meters thick. 这是一个由分号隔开的并列句,分号前面的句子结构比较复杂,Sediments are also dropped ,后面跟了一个由where引导的状语从句,紧接着这个状语从句又加上了一个插入结构, the deposited sediments are on a lake floor or the seafloor at first, 然后才开始进行转折but will be located inland at some future date, 但是马上又跟上了一个由when 引导的状语从句。分号后面的半句比较简单 such beds are sometimes thousands of meters thick.同学们面对这样的句子一定要先找主干,把状语从句、插入结构纷纷跳过,从纷繁复杂的句子中找出主干来,才能不被ETS出题人改写的句子所迷惑。
译文: 当河流汇入湖泊和海洋的时候也会有沉淀,这些沉淀最初在湖底或海底,但将来海平面下降或者陆地崛起时,它们就会分布于内陆,通常厚达几千米。 意群训练: Sediments are also dropped where a river slows on entering a lake or the sea, the deposited sediments are on a lake floor or the seafloor at first, but will be located inland at some future date, when the sea level falls or the land rises; such beds are sometimes thousands of meters thick.
怎么样进行托福阅读略读。托福阅读为了节省时间提高效率经常在看托福阅读文章的时候采用略读法,那么略读可以怎样才能避免略过不该略的呢?下面的托福阅读技巧就来介绍一下。
托福阅读略读有下列几个特点: A.以极快的速度阅读文章,寻找字面上或事实上的主要信息和少量的阐述信息。 B.可以跳过某个部分或某些部分不读。 C.理解水平可以稍低一些,但也不能太低。
可以运用下列托福阅读技巧: A.要利用印刷细节(typographical details),如托福阅读文章的标题、副标题、小标题、斜体词、黑体词、脚注、标点符号等,对文章进行预测略读(preview skimming)。预测略读要了解作者的思路、文章方式(模式),以便把握大意,有关的细节及其相互关系 B.以一般阅读速度(200~250wpm)阅读文章开头的一、二段,力求抓住文章大意,背景情况,作者的文章风格,口吻或语气等。 C.阅读段落的主题句和结论句。抓住主题句就掌握了段落大意,然后略去细节不读,以求得略读速度,这一点是托福快速阅读技巧要抓住的最重要的一点。 D.注意转折词和序列词。转折词如however,moreover,in addition等;序列词如firstly,secondly等。 托福阅读, 技巧
