细节题目定位方式

　　很多考生反应托福阅读由于阅读量大题量过“足”导致无法在规定的时间内完成考试要求。提高阅读速度是大部分考生都在热切期望的事。那么如何在速度上有所改善呢?提高速度关键在于快速找到题目所在的内容，这就涉及到阅读定位的问题了。

　　定位，就得需要找关键词。那么什么样的词是关键词呢?是动词，名词还是形容词?我们观察一下细节题的出题方式，发现题干中都会出现X，也就是题干问的是什么。所以，我们定位的原则就是，找题干中的X。例如：

　　According to paragraph 4, which of the following is true of climax communities?

　　那这道题的X就是climax communities，所以这就是关键词，托福阅读定位法说的也就是这个意思。我们用这个关键词很容易定位到原文中出现两处，也就是划线部分：

　　Paragraph 4: The question of ecosystem stability is complicated, however. The first problem is that ecologists do not all agree what “stability” means. Stability can be defined as simply lack of change. In that case, the climax community would be considered the most stable, since, by definition, it changes the least over time. Alternatively, stability can be defined as the speed with which an ecosystem returns to a particular form following a major disturbance, such as a fire. This kind of stability is also called resilience. In that case, climax communities would be the most fragile and the least stable, since they can require hundreds of years to return to the climax state.

　　定位中有个小技巧，如果X中包含：时间，地点，人名，数字，大写单词等，可以优先用这些词定位。例如：

　　Paragraph 1 supports which of the following statements about painting in Europe?

　　这道题的题干出现了地点Europe，所以我们可以用地点定位，那就定位到原文的划线部分：

　　Paragraph 1: The earliest discovered traces of art are beads and carvings, and then paintings, from sites dating back to the Upper Paleolithic period. We might expect that early artistic efforts would be crude, but the cave paintings of Spain and southern France show a marked degree of skill. So do the naturalistic paintings on slabs of stone excavated in southern Africa. Some of those slabs appear to have been painted as much as 28,000 years ago, which suggests that painting in Africa is as old as painting in Europe. But painting may be even older than that. The early Australians may have painted on the walls of rock shelters and cliff faces at least 30,000 years ago, and maybe as much as 60,000 years ago.

　　需要提醒学生的一点是，如果题干中的X是文章的标题，那就不能拿来定位。因为文章标题在文章中会反复大量出现，例如：

　　According to paragraph 2, which of the following is true of Chinese ceramics?

　　○ The function of ceramics remained the same from dynasty to dynasty.

　　○ The use of ceramics as trade objects is better documented than the use of ceramics as ritual objects.

　　○ There was little variation in quality for any type of ceramics over time.

　　○ Some religious sculptures were made using the earthenware type of ceramics.

　　托福阅读定位法讲到这儿，想必大家也开始有了眉目了，这道题的X是Chinese ceramics(中国陶瓷)，而本文的标题是Chinese Pottery(中国陶器)，X和标题的意思是一样的，那我们就不能通过题干定位，只能通过选项来定位了。比如，选项A说的是function，那我们就用function去原文中定位。
