而且,小编注意到,大家平时对于阅读题型的分类更加看重,忽视了文章话题,这就有点本末倒置。要知道,文章是我们获取信息的关键,先搞懂文章才能做题,因此我们的重点应当是从阅读文章上出发,那么,常考题型有哪些呢?
眼看它文章茫茫,眼看它长难句多多,眼看我分就这么没了。
阅读最恼人的问题是什么?长难句、长文章、还是题太难?都是!但综合起来,最难的还是文章话题,遇上熟练的话题还好说,能轻松搞定;但遇上难缠的话题,头都得挠秃。就近两年比较流行的“社会类”话题文章来说,不少同学都不太熟悉,导致一旦考试中这类文章占比过高,大家整体阅读分数就会下降。

这里分自然科学、生物科学和社会科学三大类,每种话题下再细分,还有推荐练习材料,大家赶紧收藏!
自然科学
这一类话题包括地质学、天文学等,经常会考到如冰川、火星、化石等内容,不过这个话题因为比较生僻,一直以来都被托福考试拿来当做为难考生的文章。这类文章即使是看中文也往往很难理解,因此考生的答题正确率和完成度都是明显较低的。
因此,小编还是希望大家能够重点积累话题相关的词汇,以提升对文章的理解能力。
常见词汇:volcano火山,layer岩层,karst喀斯特地形,permeable可渗透,meteo陨石,asteroid小行星等等。
当然,光积累词汇作用不大,还是得有针对性练习,话题分类和推荐练习材料如下:

生物科学
这一大类话题经常出现,在阅读部分的占比也很大,其中涉及到濒危动物保护、环境问题等。由于是托福阅读话题中的常考话题,所以大家应该对此也最为熟练。
但这个话题对应的词汇还是需要好好积累,比如unpredictable无法预测的,range幅度,extinction灭绝,endangered濒危,tropical热带,jungle丛林,equatorial赤道等等。
