托福考試目標分想破100分，聽力25+和口語25+所花費的精力遠大于閱讀28+的。所以，開刀還是先在閱讀上來。閱讀28+，你距離總分上百已經近了。

閱讀28，從哪里開刀

單詞，長難句，文章結構，題型專項訓練都是閱讀拿高分的關鍵。

先看幾個題型的做法：

1. 事實信息題

方法：key words, key sentences, key meaning

步驟：精讀題干，確定定位詞，回原文找定位句，提取題干，根據關鍵信息篩選四個選項。

注意，ETS可是很容易設置同義句改寫來迷惑你的。

2. 推斷題

標志：infer，imply，indicate，suggest，most likely

方法：聯系上下文，總結概括，正反推斷

步驟：精讀題干，尋找定位詞，回原文定位，讀懂理解，根據所獲信息推導

遇到較難題時，可以結合排除法(沒提及/相反/極端/前半句對后半句錯或反之)，排除掉錯的，正確選項就出來了。

3. 修辭目的題

標志： why，in order to(題干中) / To do, Do(選項開頭)

方法：抓住主旨做題

步驟：定位句不重要，定位句要證明的point最重要。

所以讀到定位句之后要去找該句想證明的點在哪里，一般往前后句或段落的首1/首2句。答案就是point的論點句同義改寫句。

閱讀28，怎么開刀

來一起看看這道推斷題，看看閱讀28，到底有多遠：

Paragraph3:

With question such as these clearly before them, the scientists aboard the Glomar Challenger processed to the Mediterranean to search for the answers. On August 23, 1970, they recovered a sample.The sample consisted of pebbles of hardened sediment that had once been soft, deep-sea mud, as well as granules of gypsum and fragments of volcanic rock.

Not asingle pebble was found that might have indicated that the pebbles came from the nearby continent. In the days following, samples of solid gypsum were repeatedly brought on deck as drilling operations penetrated the seafloor.

Furthermore,the gypsum was found to possess peculiarities of composition and structure that suggested it had formed on desert flats. Sediment above and below the gypsum layer contained tiny marine fossils, indicating open-ocean conditions. As they drilled into the central and deepest part of the Mediterranean basin, the scientists took solid, shiny, crystal linesalt from the core barrel. Interbedded with the salt were thin layers of what appeared to be windblown silt.

10.Which of the following can be inferred from paragraph 3 about the solid gypsum layer?

○It did not contain any marine fossil.

○It had formed in open-ocean conditions.

○It had once been soft, deep-sea mud.

○It contained sediment from nearby deserts.

(建議先讀，再看答案哦)

根據題干，可以確定定位詞為solid gypsum layer，但僅憑這一個詞并不好確定定位句(因為文中好幾個句子和solid gypsum layer有關)這個時候閱讀長難句的能力派上用場了，能否抓住主干是做題正確的一個很大前提，在有限的時間需要獲取足夠多有效內容。

還有很多同學會將定位句定位到The sample (consisted of pebbles of hardened sediment)(that had once been soft, deep-sea mud, as well as granules of gypsum and fragments of volcanic rock.)

然而這句話說的是樣本包括曾經被軟泥、深海泥、石膏和火山巖碎屑顆粒組成的堅硬沉積物的鵝卵石。不能幫助我們選出正確選項。

真正的定位句在后面， Furthermore, the gypsum was found to possess peculiarities of composition and structure that suggested it had formed ondesert flats. Sediment above and below the gypsum layer contained tiny marine fossils, indicating open-ocean conditions.

石膏被發現含有顯示它形成于沙漠平地的特殊成分和結構(既然形成于沙漠平地，那么就不可能含有海洋化石)。后面又說，石膏層上下的沉淀物都含有微小的海洋化石(也算是個暗示，上下都有，唯獨沒有提到石膏層本身是否含有)。

總之就是在暗示你：solid gypsum layer和其上層下層都不一樣，不含有marine fossil。

正確答案為A，你...選對了嗎?
