托福阅读解题使用排除法优势和局限性分析

1、托福阅读解题使用排除法优势和局限性分析 托福阅读的题型多为选择题，而说到选择题很多同学都会立即想到用排除法来应对。今天给大家带来了托福阅读解题使用排除法优势和局限性分析,希望可以帮助到大家，下面就和大家分享，来欣赏一下吧。托福阅读解题使用排除法优势和局限性分析托福阅读哪些题型能用排除法?众所周知，根据托福官方指南og上的说明，托福阅读中总共有10个不同的题型，而由于这些题型基本都是选择题，哪怕是句子插入题其实也是给出多个位置让考生选择一个位置插入句子，因此理论上托福阅读的所有题型都可以通过排除法来解决，这种方法毫无疑问在托福阅读中是具有相当广泛运用范围的实用解题技巧。托福阅读用排除法有哪些好处

2、?那么，在托福阅读解题时使用排除法能够给大家带来哪些帮助呢?1. 提升效率缩短用时首先，最为直观明显的好处就是可以有效提升考生的解题效率，缩短大家的解题用时。托福考试中阅读部分的时间是相当紧张的，这和阅读部分*篇幅长以及题目数量多有很大关系，而提升解题效率一直都是考生备考时需要重点攻克的难关。排除法能够帮助大家迅速缩小选择题的选择范围，特别是在有些选项本身自相矛盾或是存在严重错误漏洞时，用排除法来应对的提速效果是非常明显的。2. 遇题不决先排除而排除法的另一个好处就如上面所说具有很强的适用性。基本上考生一旦发现题目有些难以应对，多个选项一眼扫过很难顺利分辨时，祭出排除法这个法宝往往就能解决很多

3、问题。甚至在许多同学看来，托福阅读解题但凡没思路时，用一下排除法总是不会有错的。排除法的存在无形中也给大家解答应对难题提供了一定的心理安慰和底气。排除法并非万能技巧也有局限性当然，凡是有利有弊，排除法虽然在托福阅读中具有较高实用性，但其本身也是存在弊端和局限性的，考生需要了解排除法不适用的场合，才能真正发挥出其价值，以下这些排除法的弊端需要大家了解：1. 难以一锤定音排除法的局限性之一在于难以一锤定音。托福阅读的选择题如今在选项设置上越来越针对单纯的排除法解题思路。一道题目四个选项中，一般都会设置两个存在较为明显问题的错误选项，这些选项能够被考生轻松发现并排除掉。但剩下的两个选项则存在很大的相

4、似性，考生往往会难以做出进一步的选择来排除，这种情况下排除法就很难帮助大家做出抉择了。也就是说，排除法能够帮助大家缩小选择范围，但却往往很难指引考生找到最后的正确答案。2. 简单题不适用其次，托福阅读也并非所有题目都具有很高的难度和很强的干扰性选项。占据托福阅读题目中至少4分之1数量的词汇题中，有不少题目都非常简单，比如问你一个词汇在*里是什么意思，给出的4个选项就是4个单词。考生只要认识这个词汇，往往能直接作出选择。这种情况下就完全没有必要使用到排除法了。有些同学谨慎起见还是会用排除法来过一遍答案，然而很多时候都有浪费时间之嫌。明明能够直接选出答案却还是非得用一下排除法才能放心，排除法在给予

5、考生心理安慰的同时，也不知不觉中造成了考生缺乏自信过度依赖的心态，这对于提升解题效率是较为不利的。其实无论哪种解题方法，都必然存在其适合发挥的场合，也肯定会有一些无法使用的限制情况，希望各位同学能够合理且巧妙的运用多种解题技巧来辅助自己答题，而不是死脑筋的一种方法用到底。以上对于托福阅读解题中运用排除法解题的优势和局限性分析，希望大家能够认真了解一下。托福阅读素材之石油资源petroleum resources石油资源1.petroleum, consisting of crude oil and natural gas, seems to originate from organic mat

9、梗概：持续的沉积堆积物沉积到海底的过程将有机物埋在海底使之受到海底温度、高压的影响，最终转变成石油和天然气。当泥状沉积物被挤压在一起时，天然气和石油液滴会被挤出泥层，然后进入附近的沙层。经过很长的一个周期(数百万年)，积聚的天然气和石油会在沙层中聚集。3.oil pools are valuable underground accumulations of oil, and oil fields are regions underlain by one or more oil pools. when an oil pool or field has been discovered, wells

17、the oil in a given pool can be brought to the surface. the rest is far too difficult to extract and has to remain underground.段落梗概：地下还能发现更多的石油。许多石油资源都是由于开采费用高、地理位置不能开采等原因不得不留在地下。6.moreover, getting petroleum out of the ground and from under the sea and to the consumer can create environmental proble

21、输管道损坏造成严重的石油泄漏，会导致海上产生浮油。海上钻井平台也可能会泄露石油，导致海滩污染，危害环境。有时油田石油被抽取后，地面会下沉。举例。石油炼制、燃烧也会造成空气污染。先进的技术和严格的法律正在控制这些对环境的不利影响。疑难词：petroleum n. 石油marine adj. 船舶的;航海的，海运的sediment n. 沉积;沉淀物decompose vt. 分解;腐烂vi. 分解;使腐烂convert vi. 转变，变换droplet n. 小滴，微滴squeeze n. 压榨;紧握v. 挤;紧握;勒索saturate adj. 浸透的，饱和的drill vt. 钻孔;训练;条

23、 we might expect that early artistic efforts would be crude, but the cave paintings of spain and southern france show a marked degree of skill. so do the naturalistic paintings on slabs of stone excavated in southern africa. some of those slabs appear to have been painted as much as 28,000 years ago

24、, which suggests that painting in africa is as old as painting in europe. but painting may be even older than that. the early australians may have painted on the walls of rock shelters and cliff faces at least 30,000 years ago, and maybe as much as 60,000 years ago.段落梗概：在发现的早期工艺品中，西班牙与法国南部的岩洞画显示出了高超

29、ting luck was the chief motivation for the paintings, it is difficult to explain why only a few show signs of having been speared. perhaps the paintings were inspired by the need to increase the supply of animals. cave art seems to have reached a peak toward the end of the upper paleolithic period,

31、archers patricia rice and ann paterson. the data they present suggest that the animals portrayed in the cave paintings were mostly the ones that the painters preferred for meat and for materials such as hides. for example, wild cattle (bovines) and horses are portrayed more often than we would expec

32、t by chance, probably because they were larger and heavier (meatier) than other animals in the environment. in addition, the paintings mostly portray animals that the painters may have feared the most because of their size, speed, natural weapons such as tusks and horns, and the unpredictability of

33、their behavior. that is, mammoths, bovines, and horses are portrayed more often than deer and reindeer. thus, the paintings are consistent with the idea that the art is related to the importance of hunting in the economy of upper paleolithic people. consistent with this idea, according to the investigators, is the fact that the art of the cultural period that followed the upper paleolithic also seems to reflect how people got their food. but in that period, when getting food no longer depended on hunting large game animals (because they were becoming ex
