關於託福閱讀的解題技巧

託福閱讀中的.細節題其實不難,但前提是定位的點要對,比如下面這個例題:

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.

這是一個典型的細節題,在該題題幹中,有的考生會選擇Puget Sound作爲關鍵詞原文定位,因爲它是專有名詞,在文中會比較顯眼。

但是如果一旦選擇了這個地名,勢必會定位在該段的第一句話,託福細節題往往是定位在哪句就在哪句找答案,這樣的話考生是選不出正確答案的,因爲定位不精確。

其實正確的關鍵詞應該是white-tailed deer,這個用連字符連接的詞在文章中也是比較醒目的,按該詞定位應是該段最後一句話。
