托福改革后閱讀部分會(huì)發(fā)生哪些變化題目會(huì)變難嗎
2019年8月1日起,托福將采用改革后的新政策,考試題目減少,考試時(shí)長減少。那么這次托福改革后閱讀部分到底會(huì)發(fā)生哪些變化呢?
托福改革后閱讀部分會(huì)發(fā)生哪些變化 題目會(huì)變難嗎
2019年8月1日托福改革前2019年8月1日托福改革后
◆ 3-4篇閱讀文章,每篇12-14個(gè)問題
◆ 60-80分鐘◆ 3-4篇閱讀文章,每篇10個(gè)問題
◆ 54-72分鐘
不考慮加試部分的話,閱讀每篇文章的時(shí)間由20分鐘變?yōu)?8分鐘,但由于題目數(shù)量的減少,平均每道題目的做題時(shí)長由1.42分鐘增長至1.8分鐘
托福改革TPO閱讀刪除了哪些題目? 我們發(fā)現(xiàn)在閱讀部分平均每篇文章的實(shí)際做題時(shí)間只減少了2分鐘,由20分鐘變成18分鐘,而題目數(shù)量卻最多能減少4道題目/篇。表面上看起來是利好消息,即每道題目的答題時(shí)間變得更為充裕了,但我們猜測,既然時(shí)間沒有減少太多,又要保證考試的公平性和難度,刪減的題目可能是比較簡單的題目。
什么題目簡單呢?最直觀的就是詞匯題,也就是說詞匯題數(shù)量很有可能有較大縮水。這對部分基礎(chǔ)較為薄弱的中國考生其實(shí)是一個(gè)不利的消息,因?yàn)楹芏嗤瑢W(xué)在托福備考初期都是靠死記硬背大量單詞,將詞匯題做對,才把分?jǐn)?shù)頂上來。而且答對一個(gè)詞匯題和答對一個(gè)其他單選題,對于最終的分?jǐn)?shù)貢獻(xiàn)是一樣的。如果真發(fā)生詞匯題大幅削減,很有可能托福在低分向中等程度提分的速度會(huì)變慢。
而比較費(fèi)時(shí)間的、考察全文理解能力的題型,比如六選三、邏輯排序、句子簡化題等基本不會(huì)刪除,且很可能依然會(huì)保證每篇文章都有這類題型。
托福閱讀長難句100句:水力資源
今天我們來看這樣一個(gè)句子:
Only the last of these was suited at all to the continuous operating of machines, and although waterpower abounded in Lancashire and Scotland and ran grain mills as well as textile mills, it had one great disadvantage: streams flowed where nature intended them to, and water-driven factories had to be located on their banks whether or not the location was desirable for other reasons. (64, TPO6)
我是分界線,大家先自己分析哦。
Only the last of these was suited at all to the continuous operating of machines, and (although waterpower abounded in Lancashire and Scotland and ran grain mills as well as textile mills),it had one great disadvantage: streams flowed (where nature intended them to), and water-driven factories had to be located on their banks (whether or not the location was desirable for other reasons.)
分析:
修飾一:(although waterpower abounded in Lancashire and Scotland and ran grain mills as well as textile mills) ,從句
中文:雖然水力在Lancashire和Scotland十分豐富,能夠運(yùn)轉(zhuǎn)谷物廠和紡織廠
修飾二:(where nature intended them to) ,從句
中文:水的流向是自然決定的
修飾三:(whether or not the location wasdesirable for other reasons.) ,從句
中文:而不管這個(gè)位置由于其他原因是否合理
參考翻譯:
只有最后一種完全適合持續(xù)運(yùn)轉(zhuǎn)的機(jī)器,雖然水力在Lancashire和Scotland十分豐富,能夠運(yùn)轉(zhuǎn)谷物廠和紡織廠,但它有一個(gè)缺點(diǎn):水的流向是自然決定的,所以水力驅(qū)動(dòng)的工廠不得不位于河岸邊,而不管這個(gè)位置由于其他原因是否合理。
這個(gè)句子的主要修飾成分就是從句,大家務(wù)必想清楚,每一個(gè)修飾成分修飾的是什么,才能看清楚這個(gè)句子的結(jié)構(gòu)。
其實(shí)狀語從句不是特別會(huì)影響大家對于句子的理解。
托福閱讀長難句100句:大氣引擎
今天我們來看這樣一個(gè)句子:
This “atmospheric engine,” invented by Thomas Savery and vastly improved by his partner, Thomas Newcomen, embodied revolutionary principles, but it was so slow and wasteful of fuel that it could not be employed outside the coal mines for which it had been designed. (43, TPO6)
embody /?m'b?d?/ v. 體現(xiàn)(想法﹑ 感情等),使(想法﹑ 感情等)具體化;包括或含有某物
revolutionary /'r?v?'l???'n?ri/ adj. 革命的
employ = make use of sb/sth 使用
我是分界線,大家先自己分析哦。
This “atmospheric engine,” (invented by Thomas Savery and vastly improved by his partner, Thomas Newcomen,) embodied revolutionary principles, but it was so slow and wasteful of fuel (that it could not be employed outside the coal mines) (for which it had been designed.) (43, TPO6)
老邪分析:
修飾一:(invented by Thomas Savery and vastly improved by his partner, Thomas Newcomen,) ,插入語,修飾this “atmospheric engine”,大家注意這里的斷句,This “atmospheric engine” embodied revolutionary principles被隔開了,斷句很重要
中文:由Thomas Savery發(fā)明并由他的搭檔Thomas Newcomen大力改善的
修飾二:(that it could not be employed outside the coal mines) ,從句,so…that結(jié)構(gòu)
中文:不能在煤礦的以外的地方使用
修飾三:(for which it had been designed.) ,從句,修飾coal mines
中文:引擎被設(shè)計(jì)
參考翻譯:
這個(gè)由Thomas Savery發(fā)明并由他的搭檔Thomas Newcomen大力改善的“大氣引擎”體現(xiàn)了革命性的原理,但它如此慢和浪費(fèi)燃料以致于不能再煤礦的以外的地方使用,盡管原來是這么設(shè)計(jì)的。
這個(gè)句子的主要修飾成分就是從句和插入語,大家務(wù)必想清楚,每一個(gè)修飾成分修飾的是什么,才能看清楚這個(gè)句子的結(jié)構(gòu)。
其實(shí)狀語從句不是特別會(huì)影響大家對于句子的理解。
托福閱讀長難句100句:蒸汽印刷廠
今天這句不難,但是一不小心就會(huì)理解錯(cuò)誤,主要是要注意體會(huì)兩個(gè)修飾成分,這在以后的長難句中一定會(huì)反復(fù)出現(xiàn)。他們是長難句特別常見的構(gòu)件之一。
大家先自己看看,能不能一遍理解。
準(zhǔn)備好了沒,一遍哦。
今天我們來看這樣一個(gè)句子:
At the same time, operators of the first printing presses run by steam rather than by hand found it possible to produce a thousand pages in an hour rather thanthirty. (31, TPO6)
我是分界線,大家先自己分析哦。
At the same time, operators of the first printing presses (run by steam) rather than (by hand) found it possible (to produce a thousand pages in an hour rather than thirty.)
分析:
修飾一:(run by steam) ,非謂語動(dòng)詞,修飾printing presses,大家注意這里的run不是謂語動(dòng)詞,而是后面的found,這里易混
中文:通過蒸汽運(yùn)行
修飾二:(by hand),介詞短語,修飾printing presses,注意rather than,超級高頻短語,之前也碰到過了,它是一個(gè)介詞,“而不是”
中文:而不是通過手
修飾三:(to produce a thousand pages in anhour rather than thirty.) ,非謂語,it指代這里的內(nèi)容
中文:生產(chǎn)一千張紙?jiān)谝粋€(gè)小時(shí)內(nèi)而不需要三十小時(shí)。
主干:operators found it possible
參考翻譯:
同時(shí),第一批通過蒸汽運(yùn)行而不是通過手動(dòng)的蒸汽印刷廠的操作者們發(fā)現(xiàn)在一個(gè)小時(shí)內(nèi)生產(chǎn)一千張紙是有肯能的,而不需要三十小時(shí)。
這個(gè)句子的主要修飾成分就是介詞和非謂語動(dòng)詞,大家務(wù)必想清楚,每一個(gè)修飾成分修飾的是什么,才能看清楚這個(gè)句子的結(jié)構(gòu)。
其實(shí)狀語從句不是特別會(huì)影響大家對于句子的理解。
