托福閱讀備考題型中,有這樣一類題目,它就是細節題,這個題目要說簡單也是非常簡單的,因為答案就在文章里,但是要說難,也是很難的,因為有些細節題難度上升后,定位就變得異常難找!下面我們就一起來看看吧!
今天就跟大家來見識一下細節題的“難點”時刻:
■ The fossil consists of a complete skull of an archaeocyte, an extinct group of ancestors of modern cetaceans. Although limited to a skull, the Pakicetus fossil provides precious details on the origins of cetaceans. The skull is cetacean-like but its jawbones lack the enlarged space that is filled with fat or oil and used for receiving underwater sound in modern whales. Pakicetus probably detected sound through the ear opening as in land mammals. The skull also lacks a blowhole, another cetacean adaptation for diving. Other features, however, show experts that Pakicetus is a transitional form between a group of extinct flesh-eating mammals, the mesonychids, and cetaceans. It has been suggested that Pakicetus fed on fish in shallow water and was not yet adapted for life in the open ocean. It probably bred and gave birth on land.
Pakicetus and modern cetaceans have similar
○hearing structures
○adaptations for diving
○skull shapes
○breeding locations
在這道題目中,很多同學通過關鍵詞的定位會習慣性的選擇Pakicetus和modern cetaceans這兩個關鍵名詞來定位,但是殊不知這就落入了題目的“難度升級”圈套。

上述關鍵詞出現在文章中的各個位置,很難再判斷出那一句才是最關鍵的答案句,所以據此,初級階段的閱讀定位策略失敗。
在這里,針對于這種不能“只看臉”的細節題,給出一個新的提示和關鍵詞選取方法,關注題干中的動詞、形容詞和副詞的對應!
這種單詞想要在文章中找到原詞確實不容易,因為答案句在文中與之對應的應該是同義轉述。
我們拿上述題目解析,題干中應該關注的是形容詞similar類似的,這個詞的尋找應該能定位到關鍵句:The skull is cetacean-like but its jawbones lack the enlarged space that is filled with fat or oil and used for receiving underwater sound in modern whales.
意為頭蓋骨是鯨魚的樣子的(實際意思就是類似),但是下頜骨缺少了開放空間,這個空間因該填滿脂肪或者油用來接收聲音。
那么根據這個對應就能看到答案對應選項為C。
好了,通過今天這個細節題的知識點講解,我相信大家一定能夠了解到細節題更豐富的做題形態。
記住一點,當某一天題干中的關鍵名詞沒有辦法幫你做題的時候,想想動詞、形容詞和副詞的同義替換對應哦~
以上就是為大家分享的托福閱讀細節題的知識點講解,希望這些內容對于大家的備考能夠有所幫助!
