长沙新东方为您整理托福阅读的做题技巧，希望对正在进行托福备考的学员有所帮助。

     词汇题、句子改写题

　　只读该句不读完整段(30‘ *4 + 1’* 1)耗时3分钟。

　　词汇题看好单词的词性、发出者(是人，是物)，保持一致的最对，看这一句即可。

　　In the past,whole cities GREw from the arduoustask of cutting andpiling stone upon. Some of the world’s finest stonearchitecturecan be seen in the ruins of the ancient Inca city of Machu Picchu high in theeastern Andes

　　Mountains of Peru.

　　猜词是保证不了完全准了，根据意思，这道题排除BD，剩下AC很是纠结，但是看task本身，skilled task这种说法小奇怪，一般是skilled workers，所以选A

　　The word “arduous” in the passage is closest inmeaning to

　　Difficult○Necessary○Skilled○Shared

　　词汇题对于我一直是难点超爱错，猜出来的，如果有时间检查一定要再看一下，从ETS出题的角度考虑，一般从前后能推断出来的，四个选项可能意思都不同，自己理解着选即可。

　　前后推断不出来的，可能是最后纠结两个最像的选项，这时候从词型角度寻找帮助，是否有un-，in-这样的前缀，答案是否有对应前缀或意思。

　　句子改写题类似G的逻辑，看好逻辑主语和逻辑关系，最类似的最对(改写后主语不变的概率较高)

　　In order for thestructure to achieve the size and strength necessary to meetits purpose,architecture employs methods of support that, because they arebased onphysical laws, have changed little since people first discoveredthem-evenwhile building materials have changed dramatically.

　　主要说method，逻辑是因果关系，because physical laws ，结果是 changelittle

　　改写后Unlikebuilding materials, the methods of support used inarchitecture have notchanged over time because they are based on physical laws.

　　最新TPO的改写题难度都加大了，逻辑关系可能几个选项都对，只不过有细节的错误，比如原文A变成B，选项写B变成A，或者原文是A of B 是逻辑主语，选项是B of A是逻辑主语等等，更要求理解着去做题了 Sincethe laws of physics, not some arbitrary decision, havedetermined the generalform of applied-art objects, they follow basicpatterns, so much so that functionalforms can vary only within certain limits. 主语是applied-artobjects，因果关系，因为law determined，所以(they前面省略so)follow什么can vary什么。改写后Functional applied-art objects cannot vary much from the basicpatternsdetermined by the laws of physics.

　　错误选项包括了因果关系颠倒，主语有误，因果关系说一部分缺失一部分等。比如，The function of applied-art objects isdetermined by basic patternsin the laws of physics.或者是几个选项都不完美，最后剩两个觉得都不对，那就只能把忽略非关键内容的留着，把非重点逻辑关系当成重要关键逻辑关系来说的选项排除。
