2018年托福考试已经过去,2018年考试考了哪些内容?给考生传递了什么样的信息? 我们又应该如何有针对性的准备明年的考试呢?下面主要就2018年托福阅读考试情况进行分析。

今年大陆地区一共进行了46场托福考试,其中1月4场;2月1场;3月5场;42;54;6月4场;74;8月2场;9月5场;105;116场;12月4场

2018年托福阅读文章话题分析

 

 

根据上图,可以看出,整个18年度托福阅读中占比的仍然是动物类题材,占比31%,出现70次而在动物类题材中鸟类和恐龙相关话题两个高频出现的考点,备考过程中一定要注意积累相关词汇和背景知识。TPO和OG中大比例出现同类型的文章

出现比例第二的是历史考古类题材,占比23%,出现53次,相较之前有增加的趋势,此类题型主要关注某个国家、地区,某个事件的发展过程,以及某地区的文化。TPO中同类型文章出现频率也很高。

其次其他(环境/人类/社会),农业经贸,艺术和地质,分别占比12%,10%,9%和5%。其他(环境/人类/社会)题型相较之前有增加的趋势,而农业经贸地质题型相较之前有减少的趋势。在备考这类文章的时候,尤其要注意积累学科词汇,不要让学科词汇这个拦路石影响了对文章的理解。

植物类占比5%,出现12次,上一年比例稍有下降,但仍然是一个考察重点,不可掉以轻心天文类文章占比5%,出现11次,一些常见的高频天文表达词汇需要有所储备,才能在沉着应对这一类文章。

通过18年词汇真题回顾总结我们发现在词汇的考察上基本没有太多新词出现,所以考生在备考词汇题时,一定要强化对TPO以及历年词汇真题记忆学习,加强对词汇的深度理解。

四 备考建议:

1 根据考情分析中的高频文章话题,进行有针对性的训练。可使用TPO和OG中的重点文章进行分类练习。如:

生物类

THE ORIGINS OF CETACEANS(OG)

Opportunists and Competitors

Deer Populations of the Puget Sound(TPO4)

THE ARRIVAL OF PLANT LIFE IN HAWAII(TPO9)

Begging by Nestlings(TPO11)

Biological Clocks(TPO13)

历史学类

ARTISANS AND INDUSTRIALIZATION(OG)

NINETEENTH-CENTURY POLITICS IN THE UNITED STATES(OG)

Powering the Industrial Revolution(TPO6)

Agriculture, Iron, and the Bantu Peoples(TPO7)

Colonizing the Americas via the Northwest Coast(TPO9)

Seventeenth-Century European Economic Growth(TPO10)

地质类

DESERT FORMATION(OG)

GEOLOGY AND LANDSCAPE(OG)

GROUNDWATER(TPO1)

TIMBERLINE VEGETATION ON MOUNTAINS(TPO1)

Depletion of the Ogallala Aquifer(TPO3)

The Geologic History of the Mediterranean(TPO7)

RUNNING WATER ON MARS(TPO8)

GREEN ICEBERGS(OG)

Water in the Desert(TPO12)

2 TPO真题训练时,重点练习事实信息题和词汇题这两个重点题型。熟练掌握做题方法和考点。

3 阅读机经较其他科目简略,没有具体的原文和题目。在备考中,不宜过度依赖阅读机经,而需要重点强化机经中所体现出来的重点话题和题型。

4 扎实基本功,积累词汇和加强长句的理解

托福阅读中,词汇题的比重接近三分之一,比重相当之大,重要性不言而喻。而托福阅读词汇题不考察词义辨析,只要核心词汇过关,词汇题可以快速解题,节约做题时间。因此,加强核心词汇的记忆尤其重要。

扎实基本功的第二步需要我们打好语法基础。长句的理解在托福考试中也给不少考生造成了很大的困扰,在平时阅读的过程中,当遇到长句时,我们需要慢下来,耐心分析句子理清结构。一定积累之后,长句理解会有大的提升。

 小结

总的来说,托福阅读18年的考察前几年比,难度和题材上变化不大。考生在备考中夯实基础,加强学科词汇积累和长难句分析,强化解题思路和方法,相信在托福阅读的考试中一定实现高能高分。
