许多考生反映托福阅读的文章很长，而且静不下来一直考试的时间不够用，大大的降低了考生的阅读的阅读速度，很多同学不知道怎么提高托福阅读速度，那么如何提高托福阅读速度呢?今天就和小编一起来看一下吧!

你知道如何提高托福阅读速度吗?

The primary method previously used by paleontologists to estimate climatic changes that occurred during Pleistocene glacial cycles(新世纪冰川周期)was the determination of 18O/16O(18O与16O分别为氧元素)ratios in calcareous fossils.

第一眼看上去这个句子很长，结构很复杂，但是如果对这句话进行意群划分，我们会发现这个句子理解起来并没有那么难。下面我们就来分析一下这个句子：首先，我们需要找到句子的主干。主语一般是由名词或代词来充当的，这句话的主语显然是“the method”;谓语一般是由动词来充当的，那么这句话中的动词哪一个才是句子的谓语呢?如果考生对句子成分比较熟悉的话，很容易判断出这个句子其实是一个主系表结构，句子的系动词是“was”，后面的“the determination”自然就是句子的表语了。

找到了句子的主干，剩下的就是句子的修饰成分了。下面我们依次来看一下：主语前面的形容词“primary”是来修饰主语的;主语后面的“previously used by paleontologists”是非谓语作后置定语，也是用来修饰主语的;接下来的“to estimate climatic changes”是不定式作目的状语来修饰前面的动词“use”;然后，“that”引导的是一个定语从句，来修饰前面的“climatic changes”，其中“during”作时间状语修饰前面的动词“occur”;最后是“系动词+表语”结构。整个句子按照意群就可以划分为：

1)The primary method 2)previously used by paleontologists 3)to estimate climatic changes 4)that occurred during Pleistocene glacial cycles 6)was the determination of 18O/16O ratios in calcareous fossils.

整个句子的结构就变得清晰了，自然阅读速度就上去了。

托福考试中应避免的四个错误

一、托福就是背单词

新托福阅读词汇量在8000--10000左右，很多的高中生只有2000单词，优秀一些的学生可能会有4000左右，但要提高到8000还需不断扩充词汇。同学中有很多将单词书过了很多遍，但在实际读文章，或是听力答题的过程中还是显得单薄。这是因为考生大多记得只是单词的样子而不熟悉它的发音和用法。其实在新托福听说读写这四个部分，词汇考察是不同的。词汇量考察最大的是阅读部分，然而这一部分只需要考生眼熟即可。虽然听力部分考察词汇量要相对的少一些，但对考生的要求更高，就是一定要耳熟，口语一定要嘴熟，写作要手熟。但不管是哪一部分，都需要考生对于大学英语四六级这些最为基础核心的词汇极为熟悉。托福考试除了用单词书系统去背单词，考生应该总结听过的每一篇听力文章，读过的每一篇阅读文章中的生词。这样在实际运用中掌握的单词，会很牢靠，因为你不仅知道了它的意思还有它的声音以及用法。所以要将单词书和托福文章结合起来，不能脱离文章死背单词，亦不能只做文章而不去总结。

二、直接做托福题

对于基础不是很好的同学，不建议直接接触托福。如果备考时间较长，建议先通过适合自己难度的教材来循序渐进的提高自己在英语方面的综合实力。托福考试至于这方面应用的材料，在听力方面，建议同学听step by step 或listen to this 初中级。对高中生来说，英语学习的面比较窄，一般不能看懂西方的大学阶段的教材。这就要求我们同学经常听VOA和一些西方的媒体及主流刊物，这里面涉及到一些专业词汇，相对来说中国学生接触得很少，可以逐步积累。

三、纯靠实力，对整个考试没有充分的把握

新托福考试每一部分都有各自要求，考生必选仔细研读考试指南。托福考试例如写作，很多同学倾向用复杂的单词，用复杂的单词有两大弱点：一、极其容易拼写错误，二、用得不够恰当。有的单词在字典里翻译得并不准确，一旦使用，只会让人啼笑皆非。所以单词的应用要以得体适用为主，而不是单纯寻求复杂词汇。再比如听力部分，很多同学都会盲目地记录一些文章细节，而忽略了对文章整体架构和主要信息的把握。托福考试另外缺乏对文章内容进行归纳总结的能力，把握不住文章的重点。所以最后答题仍是不得要领。阅读更是如果没有对各种题型的全面把握，掌握其特点，在考试中会相当棘手。

四、没有时间概念，没有上机模拟

从托福来讲，很多同学在临场考的时候，茫然不知所措，平时练得很少，阅读20分钟之内不能很好的完成一篇文章，写作在规定时间内也‘敲’不完，再比如口语，15秒钟的时间准备，有35秒钟时间去讲，如果平时没有充分的花时间去练习的话，准备15秒，从头到尾讲出一些逻辑性的话，很多同学都无从下手。

托福考试建议平时可以对着镜子，自己准备15秒，在35秒之内怎么把这段话说得流利是很重要的。托福是上机考试，已经习惯了书面答题的同学一定要提前先适应一下机答的感觉。考前尽量严格按照考试流程做5套以上的模拟题，题目可以参考Barron, Kaplan, Delta, Longman等都是很好的模考材料，通过真实的模考体验真实考试的时间和强度，才能在考场上充分发挥自己的水平。

The history of clinical nutrition, or the study of the relationship between health and how the body takes in and utilizes food substances, can be divided into four distinct eras: the first began in the nineteenth century and extended into the early twentieth century when it was recognized for the first time that food contained constituents that were essential for human function and that different foods provided different amounts of these essential agents. Near the end of this era, research studies demonstrated that rapid weight loss was associated with nitrogen imbalance and could only be rectified by providing adequate dietary protein associated with certain foods.

The second era was initiated in the early decades of the twentieth century and might be called the vitamin period. Vitamins came to be recognized in foods, and deficiency syndromes were described. As vitamins became recognized as essential food constituents necessary for health, it became tempting to suggest that every disease and condition for which there had been no previous effective treatment might be responsive to vitamin therapy. At that point in time, medical schools started to become more interested in having their curricula integrate nutritional concepts into the basic sciences. Much of the focus of this education was on the recognition of vitamin deficiency symptoms. Herein lay the beginning of what ultimately turned from ignorance to denial of the value of nutritional therapies in medicine. Reckless claims were made for effects of vitamins that went far beyond what could actually be achieved from the use of them.

In the third era of nutritional history in the early 1950's to mid-1960s, vitamin therapy began to fall into disrepute. Concomitant with this, nutrition education in medical schools also became less popular. It was just a decade before this that many drug companies had found their vitamin sales skyrocketing and were quick to supply practicing physicians with generous samples of vitamins and literature extolling the virtue of supplementation for a variety of health-related conditions. Expectations as to the success of vitamins in disease control were exaggerated. As is known in retrospect, vitamin and mineral therapies are much less effective when applied to health-crisis conditions than when applied to long-term problems of undernutrition that lead to chronic health problems.

托福阅读真题训练2

In July of 1994, an astounding series of events took place. The world anxiously watched as, every few hours, a hurtling chunk of comet plunged into the atmosphere of Jupiter. All of the twenty-odd fragments, collectively called comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 after its discoverers, were once part of the same object, now dismembered and strung out along the same orbit. This cometary train, glistening like a string of pearls, had been first glimpsed only a few months before its fateful impact with Jupiter, and rather quickly scientists had predicted that the fragments were on a collision course with the giant planet. The impact caused an explosion clearly visible from Earth, a bright flaming fire that quickly expanded as each icy mass incinerated itself. When each fragment slammed at 60 kilometers per second into the dense atmosphere, its immense kinetic energy was transformed into heat, producing a superheated fireball that was ejected back through the tunnel the fragment had made a few seconds earlier. The residues from these explosions left huge black marks on the face of Jupiter, some of which have stretched out to form dark ribbons.

Although this impact event was of considerable scientific import, it especially piqued public curiosity and interest. Photographs of each collision made the evening television newscast and were posted on the Internet. This was possibly the most open scientific endeavor in history. The face of the largest planet in the solar system was changed before our very eyes. And for the very first time, most of humanity came to fully appreciate the fact that we ourselves live on a similar target, a world subject to catastrophe by random assaults from celestial bodies. That realization was a surprise to many, but it should not have been. One of the great truths revealed by the last few decades of planetary exploration is that collisions between bodies of all sizes are relatively commonplace, at least in geologic terms, and were even more frequent in the early solar system.

1. The passage mentions which of the following with respect to the fragments of comet

Shoemaker-Levy 9?

(A) They were once combine in a larger body.

(B) Some of them burned up before entering the atmosphere of Jupiter.

(D) They have an unusual orbit.

2. The word collectively in line 3 is closest in meaning to

(A) respectively

(B) popularly

(D) together

3. The author compares the fragments of comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 to all of the following EXCEPT

(A) a dismembered body

(B) a train
