ETS近日宣布托福考试进行重大改革,2019年8月开始托福将迎来重大改革,同学们的*单上将出现拼分*,*单上会显示以往两年内学生分数很高的单科*。也就是说,*单上只有你申请寄送的当次*和过去两年分数很高的单科*组合出的拼分*。

托福考试的时间由3小时50分钟缩短为3小时。阅读,听力,和口语部分的题目都会相应减少,但考试形式好题型都不会改变,写作部分则不会做出任何变化。

具体改革如下:


解读:


改进后的托福考试虽然题目有所减少,但难度、标准保持稳定,依然是公平、可靠、广受青睐的英语语言水平考试。由于托福的题型和学术内容占比比较多这个情况没有改变,因此本次改革可以说并未触及到托福考试的“根本”。本次改革并未影响到托福考试的整体难度。但对于中国考生而言,缩短考试时长有助于集中精力,减少因长时间阅读英文带来的疲劳感,更有利于出分。

就目前沸沸扬扬的托福考试改革这个话题而言,其实大家都应该知道,阅读部分的难度是不会因为少了几道题而有所下降的。少了的无非还是词汇题或者个别事实信息题而已。所以在平时的训练中,基本功还是要非常扎实,这才是“制胜法宝”。

今天我们还是就托福阅读中的一道题型进行细致讲解。就是修辞目的。众所周知,修辞目的考查的是学生对于细节背后所支撑论点的把控。作者说这个细节到底是为了什么。

Paragraph 2:

The term "fossil" often implies petrifaction, literally a transformation into stone. After the death of an organism, the soft tissue is ordinarily consumed by scavengers and bacteria. The empty shell of a snail or clam may be left behind, and if it is sufficiently durable and resistant to dissolution, it may remain basically unchanged for a long period of time. Indeed, unaltered shells of marine invertebrates are known from deposits over 100 million years old. In many marine creatures, however, the skeleton is composed of a mineral variety of calcium carbonate called aragonite. Although aragonite has the same composition as the more familiar mineral known as calcite, it has a different crystal form, is relatively unstable, and in time changes to the more stable calcite.

3.Why does the author mention "aragonite" in the passage?

O To emphasize that some fossils remain unaltered for millions of years

O To contrast fossil formation in organisms with soft tissue and in organisms with hard shells

O To explain that some marine organisms must undergo chemical changes in order to fossilize

O To explain why fossil shells are more likely to survive than are fossil skeletons

这篇是讲跟化石形成相关的一篇文章。我们来了解一下。首先,我们还是先看一下题干,作者为什么要提到 "aragonite",具体这是什么意思,很多首考学生或者词汇量还不是非常好的同学,也不必太过于担心。特殊名词在原文中,多少都有背景环境,通过环境,我们是会大概了解它是什么。

接下来文章的理解,对于最后一道六选三的题目来讲,段落理解是务必要非常完整的。如果时间非常紧张,我们才不得已选择定位-做题的模式。文章首句就告诉我们“化石”的含义。

The term "fossil" often implies petrifaction, literally a transformation into stone.接下来进一步解释形成过程。

After the death of an organism, the soft tissue is ordinarily consumed by scavengers and bacteria. The empty shell of a snail or clam may be left behind, and if it is sufficiently durable and resistant to dissolution, it may remain basically unchanged for a long period of time. 有机体死亡后,软组织通常被食腐动物和细菌所吞噬。蜗牛或蛤蜊的空壳可能会被留下,如果它足够耐久和抗溶解,它可能会在很长一段时间内基本保持不变。接下来indeed来强调,进一步解释多长时间保持不变。

Indeed, unaltered shells of marine invertebrates are known from deposits over 100 million years old.接下来的这句,however,开始转折。

In many marine creatures, however, the skeleton is composed of a mineral variety of calcium carbonate called aragonite. 然而,在许多海洋生物中,骨骼是由一种叫做霰石的碳酸钙矿物组成的。我们从这句中了解到我们题干的关键词是一种化学物质。

接下来下一句 Although aragonite has the same composition as the more familiar mineral known as calcite, it has a different crystal form, is relatively unstable, and in time changes to the more stable calcite.霰石虽然与我们所熟知的方解石成分相同,但其晶体形态不同,相对不稳定,随着时间的推移,它会变成方解石。

所以作者说到 aragonite其实还是想强调一种变化。而能体现出变化的选项是C。

大家一定要注意,修辞目的题目的处理不一定是非要看定位句前面的句子的。正确精准的把控句间关系才能更好的解题,同时也会为后面的题目做好铺垫。

不管政策怎么改变,打好基础巩固自身才是硬道理。
