為什么你托福學(xué)了那么久，成績(jī)卻沒(méi)有進(jìn)步

為什么你托福學(xué)了那么久，成績(jī)卻沒(méi)有進(jìn)步?這是什么原因造成的，下面小編就給大家分享一下，希望大家看了這篇文章會(huì)有所收獲！

為什么你托福學(xué)了那么久，成績(jī)卻沒(méi)有進(jìn)步?

以下人物純屬虛構(gòu)，請(qǐng)勿對(duì)號(hào)入座。

背景信息：小A自學(xué)了幾個(gè)月托福，臨近考試，想再突擊一下，開(kāi)始跟我學(xué)習(xí)托福閱讀。

我：感覺(jué)經(jīng)過(guò)這幾個(gè)月的學(xué)習(xí)，閱讀水平有提升嗎?

A：有，感覺(jué)好多了，文章讀的比以前明白了，做題速度也快了。

我：詞匯量有提升?

A：嗯嗯，詞匯特別明顯，我這幾個(gè)月一直在背單詞，現(xiàn)在生詞少多了。

我：那句子呢?

A：你之前讓我標(biāo)讀不懂的句子，每篇文章都能找出三四個(gè)句子，現(xiàn)在句子現(xiàn)在基本都能讀懂了。

曾經(jīng)的我，特別單純，問(wèn)到這里已經(jīng)開(kāi)始竊喜了：雖然這一切都是小A自己的努力的結(jié)果，但是將來(lái)出分了，功勞全都會(huì)算在我頭上，哈哈哈哈哈哈哈!!!!!!

現(xiàn)在我成熟了，扶了一下眼鏡，接著問(wèn)：

我：做題正確率有進(jìn)步嗎?以前每篇錯(cuò)幾道題?現(xiàn)在每篇錯(cuò)幾道題?

A露出尷尬的微笑：以前每篇錯(cuò)4，5個(gè)吧，現(xiàn)在好像還是4，5個(gè)。

其實(shí)我在家長(zhǎng)反饋群里看到了最近?？加涗?，平均每篇錯(cuò)6道題。但是學(xué)生這么說(shuō)并不是故意撒謊，而是出于人類美化自己的天性，可以理解。關(guān)鍵是答題正確率一點(diǎn)沒(méi)進(jìn)步，卻感覺(jué)自己英語(yǔ)水平已經(jīng)突飛猛進(jìn)，這讓我非常擔(dān)憂。很多學(xué)生都有這種幻覺(jué)，有些學(xué)生甚至考完試都還沒(méi)醒悟過(guò)來(lái)呢。拿著成績(jī)單來(lái)找我申訴：“老師，這不可能，肯定是給我批錯(cuò)了，閱讀13分你敢信嗎?” 我很想告訴他：“你考個(gè)位數(shù)我都敢信?！?/p>

跑偏了，接著提問(wèn)。

我：好，接下來(lái)先來(lái)檢查一下你整理的生詞，都背過(guò)了是吧?

A面露難色：背倒是背過(guò)了，就怕現(xiàn)在已經(jīng)忘了。(還沒(méi)檢查呢，已經(jīng)開(kāi)始找借口了，不是好兆頭，雖然學(xué)霸們也會(huì)這么說(shuō)，但是他們只是為了顯得謙虛。)

檢查結(jié)果慘不忍睹，10個(gè)單詞錯(cuò)8個(gè)，學(xué)生很尷尬，不顧自己感受開(kāi)始安慰我，被我強(qiáng)行打住。

我：下面我們來(lái)講講你的錯(cuò)題，錯(cuò)題都搞明白了是嗎?(這兒我是明知故問(wèn)，因?yàn)橹耙呀?jīng)問(wèn)過(guò)好多次了，學(xué)生都說(shuō)沒(méi)問(wèn)題)

A：嗯，都明白了。

我：好，你來(lái)講一下第2題吧，為什么選A?

A：@#￥%……&_)——!~_，所以選A。

我：我跟你說(shuō)實(shí)話吧，這道題小站解析錯(cuò)了，其實(shí)選B。

A：對(duì)嘛，我之前就是選的B，但是解析寫的是A，唉~，我就是太相信解析了。

我：好的，那你來(lái)解釋一下B吧。

A：讀完這一段自然就選出來(lái)了嘛~

我：好的，那你把這段內(nèi)容給我翻譯一下吧。

A：(沉默了一會(huì))老師，我讀是能讀懂，但是吧，表達(dá)不太出來(lái)，反正就是那個(gè)意思。

我：好的，那你來(lái)分析一下最后兩句話之間是什么關(guān)系。

A：呃，是解釋關(guān)系?

我：說(shuō)實(shí)話，你覺(jué)得這兩句話有關(guān)系嗎?

A：其實(shí)沒(méi)什么關(guān)系，說(shuō)的根本就不是一回事。

我：那你看最后一句話為什么有also。

A: 哦哦哦，我明白了，是并列關(guān)系，上一句話說(shuō)C導(dǎo)致A，這一句話說(shuō)B也導(dǎo)致了A。并列嘛

我：是不是進(jìn)一步解釋了A，正好對(duì)應(yīng)B選項(xiàng)。

A：對(duì)嘛，剛才我就是這么想的。

我花了10分鐘，也沒(méi)能讓A意識(shí)到，其實(shí)這道題他一開(kāi)始根本不會(huì)。這就是他學(xué)了這多長(zhǎng)時(shí)間根本沒(méi)有進(jìn)步的原因。

讀完一篇文章，哪怕你就只認(rèn)識(shí)了一個(gè)新單詞，搞懂了一個(gè)新的句式結(jié)構(gòu)，掌握了一種新的修辭手法，也算是進(jìn)步了。

但是很多同學(xué)呢，都做了100篇文章了，一個(gè)新句式也沒(méi)掌握，一種新的修辭手法也沒(méi)學(xué)會(huì)。

其實(shí)每遇到一個(gè)不懂的句子，就是一次進(jìn)步的機(jī)會(huì)，掌握了這個(gè)句式，英語(yǔ)水平就往前進(jìn)了一步?？上Ш芏嗳艘庾R(shí)不到文章中很多句子自己沒(méi)讀懂，所以英語(yǔ)始終原地踏步。

同樣的，他也意識(shí)不到很多自己做錯(cuò)的題，其實(shí)根本沒(méi)搞懂。解析說(shuō)該選A，他覺(jué)得A特別有道理，如果我告訴他其實(shí)應(yīng)該選B，他也覺(jué)得對(duì)對(duì)對(duì)，確實(shí)選B。如果我再告訴他其實(shí)B也不對(duì)，C選項(xiàng)最好。他也會(huì)說(shuō)，確實(shí)是C最好，對(duì)應(yīng)到第5行嘛，我其實(shí)一開(kāi)始就想選C來(lái)著。三種解析他都看懂了，也就意味著這道題他根本不懂。但是他意識(shí)不到自己不懂，所以只能原地踏步。

這就涉及到英語(yǔ)學(xué)習(xí)方法論的問(wèn)題了。簡(jiǎn)單總結(jié)就是八個(gè)字，“刻意練習(xí)，微小改進(jìn)。”

為什么你做了100篇文章沒(méi)有進(jìn)步呢?因?yàn)橹挥小熬毩?xí)”，沒(méi)有“改進(jìn)”。你都意識(shí)不到自己的問(wèn)題，怎么改進(jìn)呢。

這時(shí)候，老師的作用就體現(xiàn)出來(lái)了。我來(lái)幫你改進(jìn)，我來(lái)告訴你，其實(shí)few這個(gè)詞你理解錯(cuò)了，它不表示少數(shù)，它是否定詞表示沒(méi)有。我來(lái)告訴你anxiety gift shopping causes for consumers.

這句話你理解錯(cuò)了，gift shopping causes for consumers是修飾anxiety的定語(yǔ)從句，有時(shí)候定語(yǔ)從句會(huì)省略that連接詞。我來(lái)告訴你這道題你沒(méi)搞懂，修辭題考察句間邏輯，這兩句話的邏輯關(guān)系你沒(méi)有分析出來(lái)。also表示并列關(guān)系，這兩句話共同支持前文的觀點(diǎn)。

這樣，你每做一篇文章，英語(yǔ)水平就會(huì)往前挪一小步。

每天一篇，再練100篇，你覺(jué)得成績(jī)還會(huì)原地踏步嗎?

托福閱讀的三步破題法

托福閱讀中完全可以不要熟悉原文，只要你會(huì)分析主謂賓，就可以選出。但是在托福閱讀中這種方法只針對(duì)結(jié)構(gòu)為總分結(jié)構(gòu)的文章才有效(占50%的考題)，需要特別注意。托福閱讀中首先大家得知道這題主要考察的是文章的MAIN IDEA和文字的SUB IDEA，對(duì)文章的TOPIC沒(méi)有一點(diǎn)解題關(guān)系。

解題步驟：

托福閱讀第1步：區(qū)分TOPIC/MI(黑體句)

TOPIC：概念/研究對(duì)象。(可從文章的題目看出)

MI：作者對(duì)TOPIC的看法/結(jié)論/發(fā)現(xiàn)/關(guān)系/描述/意圖。(僅對(duì)TOPIC做解釋的選項(xiàng)通常是錯(cuò)的)

托福閱讀第2步：回原文定位MI.

MI：前三段的段首或者段末出現(xiàn)。

具有以下特點(diǎn)：a,轉(zhuǎn)折句。(HOWEVER,BUT等) b，設(shè)問(wèn)句。(自問(wèn)自答) c，首段末句—》結(jié)論，科學(xué)發(fā)現(xiàn)。 d，因果句。 e,明顯分類描述/明顯數(shù)量概述/復(fù)數(shù)名詞。

托福閱讀第3步：各段的首句/各段的開(kāi)始部分—sub idea。

4.篩選答案。(技巧)

1).MI/SI的統(tǒng)一改寫。(概括性語(yǔ)言)

2).對(duì)MI的支持。支持：重現(xiàn)MI的完整關(guān)系，概念對(duì)應(yīng)展開(kāi)!

3)分清主謂賓!重點(diǎn)!!!

把給出的黑體字句子的主謂賓列出來(lái)~簡(jiǎn)單的列為_(kāi)(主語(yǔ))+_(謂語(yǔ))+_(賓語(yǔ))。

則可以把所有的MI句子寫成一個(gè)數(shù)學(xué)的函數(shù)表示公式：

MI: F(x)=A(x[主語(yǔ)])+B(x[謂語(yǔ)])+C(x[賓語(yǔ)])

則那么所有的SI為MI公式的一個(gè)根：

SI:F(1)=A(1[主語(yǔ)的分支])+B(1[謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞不變或者為同義詞])+C(1[賓語(yǔ)不變])。

則那么下面給出的6個(gè)選項(xiàng)只要按照SI的公式對(duì)應(yīng)比較就能知道是否為正確答案，無(wú)需知道文章說(shuō)了什么，只要分析選項(xiàng)的主謂賓是否是對(duì)MI的一個(gè)分支的擴(kuò)展，并且造成的結(jié)果一樣就能選出正確的答案了。

例子：

OG第一篇閱讀：THE ORIGINS OF CETACEANS的13-14題。

這道題的MI黑體字句子是：this passage discusses fossils that help to explain the likely origins of cetaceans-whales,porpises,and dolphins.

分析主謂賓可以知道：fossil(主語(yǔ))+help to explain(謂語(yǔ))+origins of cetaceans(賓)

然后看答案。

1.recent discoveries of fossils have helped to show the link between land mamals and cetaceans.

很容易的劃出主干： fossils(主語(yǔ)的分支) +helped to show(謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞理解一樣) +the link(賓語(yǔ)一致)

所以1正確。

2.the discovery of A__ provided evidence for a whale that lived both on land and at sea.

劃出主干：A_x(化石，又是MI主語(yǔ)的分支)+ provided evidence (謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞理解一樣)+賓語(yǔ)

所以2也正確。

5.fossils thought to be transitional forms between walking mammals and swimming whales were found。

主干：fossils(MI主語(yǔ)的分支)+were found(因?yàn)檎业剿蕴峁┑淖C據(jù)，幫助理解，和MI謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞理解一樣)

所以5也正確。

在托福閱讀當(dāng)中，對(duì)于初學(xué)者來(lái)說(shuō)最難的不是單詞，而是考試時(shí)間不足，因此很多同學(xué)在一開(kāi)始做托福閱讀的時(shí)候，十分不適應(yīng)托福的時(shí)間限制，有的人甚至在考前都沒(méi)有克服這個(gè)問(wèn)題，所以在考前找到一個(gè)適合自己的托福閱讀方法是至關(guān)重要的。

PASSAGE 7

As Philadelphia grew from a small town into a city in the first half of the eighteenth century, it became an increasingly important marketing center for a vast and growing agricultural hinterland.

Market days saw the crowded city even more crowded, as farmers from within a radius of 24 or more kilometers brought their sheep, cows, pigs, vegetables, cider, and other products for direct sale to the townspeople. The High Street Market was continuously enlarged throughout the period until 1736, when it reached from Front Street to Third. By 1745 New Market was opened on Second Street between Pine and Cedar. The next year the Callowhill Market began operation.

Along with market days, the institution of twice-yearly fairs persisted in Philadelphia even after similar trading days had been discontinued in other colonial cities. The fairs provided a means of bringing handmade goods from outlying places to would-be buyers in the city. Linens and stockings from Germantown, for example, were popular items.

Auctions were another popular form of occasional trade. Because of the competition, retail merchants opposed these as well as the fairs. Although governmental attempts to eradicate fairs and auctions were less than successful, the ordinary course of economic development was on the merchants' side, as increasing business specialization became the order of the day. Export merchants became differentiated from their importing counterparts, and specialty shops began to appear in addition to general stores selling a variety of goods.

One of the reasons Philadelphia's merchants generally prospered was because the

surrounding area was undergoing tremendous economic and demographic growth. They did their business, after all, in the capital city of the province. Not only did they cater to the governor and his circle, but citizens from all over the colony came to the capital for legislative sessions of the assembly and council and the meetings of the courts of justice.

PASSAGE 8

The canopy, the upper level of the trees in the rain forest, holds a plethora of climbing mammals of moderately large size, which may include monkeys, cats, civets, and porcupines.

Smaller species, including such rodents as mice and small squirrels, are not as prevalent overall in high tropical canopies as they are in most habitats globally.

Small mammals, being warm blooded, suffer hardship in the exposed and turbulent environment of the uppermost trees. Because a small body has more surface area per unit of weight than a large one of similar shape, it gains or loses heat more swiftly. Thus, in the trees,where shelter from heat and cold may be scarce and conditions may fluctuate, a small mammal may have trouble maintaining its body temperature.

Small size makes it easy to scramble among twigs and branches in the canopy for insects,flowers, or fruit, but small mammals are surpassed, in the competition for food, by large ones that have their own tactics for browsing among food-rich twigs. The weight of a gibbon (a small ape) hanging below a branch arches the terminal leaves down so that fruit-bearing foliage drops toward the gibbon's face. Walking or leaping species of a similar or even larger size access the outer twigs either by snapping off and retrieving the whole branch or by clutching stiff branches with the feet or tail and plucking food with their hands.

Small climbing animals may reach twigs readily, but it is harder for them than for large climbing animals to cross the wide gaps from on tree crown to the next that typify the high canopy. A macaque or gibbon can hurl itself farther than a mouse can: it can achieve a running start, and it can more effectively use a branch as a springboard, even bouncing on a climb several times before jumping. The forward movement of a small animal is seriously reduced by the air friction against the relatively large surface area of its body. Finally, for the many small mammals that supplement their insect diet with fruits or seeds, an inability to span open gaps between tree crowns may be problematic, since trees that yield these foods can be sparse.

1. The passage answers which of the following questions?

(A) How is the rain forest different from other habitats?

(B) How does an animal's body size influence an animal's need for food?

(C) Why does the rain forest provide an unusual variety of food for animals?

(D) Why do large animals tend to dominate the upper canopy of the rain forest?

2. Which of the following animals is less common in the upper canopy than in other environments?

(A) Monkeys

(B) Cats

(C) Porcupines

(D) Mice

3. The word they in line 4 refers to

(A) trees

(B) climbing mammals of moderately large size

(C) smaller species

(D) high tropical canopies

4. According to paragraph 2, which of the following is true about the small mammals in the rain

forest?

(A) They have body shapes that are adapted to live in the canopy.

(B) They prefer the temperature and climate of the canopy to that of other environments.

(C) They have difficulty with the changing conditions in the canopy.

(D) They use the trees of the canopy for shelter from heat and cold.

5. In discussing animal size in paragraph 3, the author indicates that

(A) small animals require proportionately more food than larger animals do

(B) a large animal's size is an advantage in obtaining food in the canopy
