    老托福阅读真题及答案PASSAGE1 为了帮助大家备考托福阅读,提高成果,下面我给大家带来老托福阅读真题及答案:passage 1,希望大家喜爱! 老托福阅读真题及答案 PASSAGE 1 By the mid-nineteenth century, the term "icebox" had entered the American language, but ice was still only beginning to affect the diet of ordinary citizens in the United States. The ice trade grew with the growth of cities. Ice was used in hotels, taverns, and hospitals, and by some forward-looking city dealers in fresh meat, fresh fish, and butter. After the Civil War (1861-1865), as ice was used to refrigerate freight cars, it also came into household use. Even before 1880, half the ice sold in New York, Philadelphia, and Baltimore, and one-third of that sold in Boston and Chicago, went to families for their own use. This had become possible because a new household convenience, the icebox, a precursor of the modern refrigerator, had been invented. Making an efficient icebox was not as easy as we might now suppose. In the early nineteenth century, the knowledge of the physics of heat, which was essential to a science of refrigeration, was rudimentary. The commonsense notion that the best icebox was one that prevented the ice from melting was of course mistaken, for it was the melting of the ice that performed the cooling. Nevertheless, early efforts to economize ice included wrapping the ice in blankets, which kept the ice from doing its job. Not until near the end of the nineteenth century did inventors achieve the delicate balance of insulation and circulation needed for an efficient icebox. But as early as 1803, an ingenious Maryland farmer, Thomas Moore, had been on the right track. He owned a farm about twenty miles outside the city of Washington, for which the village of Georgetown was the market center. When he used an icebox of his own design to transport his butter to market, he found that customers would pass up the rapidly melting stuff in the tubs of his competitors to pay a premium price for his butter, still fresh and hard in neat, one-pound bricks. One advantage of his icebox, Moore explained, was that farmers would no longer have to travel to market at night in order to keep their produce cool. 1. What does the passage mainly discuss? (A) The influence of ice on the diet (B) The development of refrigeration (C) The transportation of goods to market (D) Sources of ice in the nineteenth century 2. According to the passage , when did the word "icebox" become part of the language of the United States? (A) in 1803 (B) sometime before 1850 (C) during the civil war (D) near the end of the nineteenth century 3. The phrase "forward-looking" in line 4 is closest in meaning to (A) progressive (B) popular (C) thrifty (D) well-established 4. The author mentions fish in line 4 because (A) many fish dealers also sold ice (B) fish was shipped in refrigerated freight cars (C) fish dealers were among the early commercial users of ice (D) fish was not part of the ordinary person's diet before the invention of the icebox 5. The word "it" in line 5 refers to (A) fresh meat (B) the Civil War (C) ice (D) a refrigerator 6. According to the passage , which of the following was an obstacle to the development of the icebox? (A) Competition among the owners of refrigerated freight cars (B) The lack of a network for the distribution of ice (C) The use of insufficient insulation (D) Inadequate understanding of physics 7. The word "rudimentary" in line 12 is closest in meaning to (A) growing (B) undeveloped (C) necessary (D) uninteresting 8. According to the information in the second paragraph, an ideal icebox would (A) completely prevent ice from melting (B) stop air from circulating (C) allow ice to melt slowly (D) use blankets to conserve ice 9.

According to the passage , Moore's icebox allowed him to (A) charge more for his butter (B) travel to market at night (C) manufacture butter more quickly (D) produce ice all year round 11. The "produce" mentioned in line 25 could include (A) iceboxes (B) butter (C) ice (D) markets 正确答案:BBACC DBCDA B 托福阅读技巧之如何巧用关键词? 托福考试阅读部分一篇文章一般较长,所以一般是以段落为单位的。有时候可能会有学生说我做题的时候并不会去看整段啊,或者有学生说我看懂了哎,但题目就是没做对啊!其实我们在阅读一个段落时要学会运用方法,是什么方法可以帮助我们快速阅读呢? 要读懂一个段落我们只须要抓住几个关键词而已。那么关键词怎么抓呢?一是看逻辑信号词;二是读句子的时候肯定牢记只看主干!下面我们就以托福TPO25中的文章The Decline of Venetian Shipping为例,说说如何巧抓关键词。 TPO25-2 The Decline of Venetian Shipping: Paragraph 2 This decline can be seen clearly in the changes that affected Venetian shipping and trade. First, Venics intermediary functions in the Adriatic Sea, where it had dominated the business of shipping for other parties, were lost to direct trading. In the fifteenth century there was little problem recruiting sailors to row the galleys (large ships propelled by oars): guilds (business associations) were required to provide rowers, and through a draft system free citizens served compulsorily when called for. In the early sixteenth century the shortage of rowers was not serious because the demand for galleys was limited by a move to round ships (round-hulled ships with more cargo space), with required fewer rowers. But the shortage of crews proved to be a greater and greater problem, despite continuous appeal to Venics tradition of maritime greatness. Even though sailors wages doubled among the northern Italian cities from 1550 to 1590, this did not elicit an increased supply. 以上算得上是托福阅读中较长的段落了,在快速阅读这个段落的时候我们要找的关键词是:逻辑信号词如段落中所标示的first, but, this 我们不难发觉这些信号词所在的句子基本都是解题的信息点。那么在做题定位时不妨多加留意。当然,抓住这些关键词并不难,难在理解。 接下来我们就来看看理解这些句子时的关键词。每段话的首句是必定要读的。This decline can be seen clearly in the changes that affected Venetian shipping and trade。这是包含了一个定语从句的困难句。先看到核心词changes,再看到Venetian shipping and trade。这篇文章接下来详细要写的内容就展露无遗,也就是威尼斯船业和贸易的变迁。 First,这当然是起先写shipping的标记了。Venices intermediary functions in the Adriatic Sea, where it had dominated the business of shipping for other parties, were lost to direct trading. 我们始终强调句子要读主干,那么简洁地看这个句子就是Venices functions were lost, 核心词很明显是lost,也对应了整篇文章的主题 decline. 接下来两句写到了15和16世纪遇到的船员难招的问题。there was little problem recruiting sailors to row the galleys (large ships propelled by oars): guilds (business associations) were required to provide rowers, and through a draft system free citizens served compulsorily when called for. 这句话中有冒号的出现,阅读冒号之前的内容there was little problem;到下一句:the shortage of rowers was not serious because the demand for galleys was limited by a move to round ships (round-hulled ships with more cargo space), with required fewer rowers. 这句中要看到的核心是not serious;再往后看到But.to be a greater and greater problem. 到这里意思应当已经一目了然了,就是讲威尼斯船业在聘请船员方面所遭受的变迁:little problemnot serious greater problem. 刚才我们讲了文章阅读部分要抓关键词,其实我们在阅读题目和选项时也是须要找寻关键词的。有些题目的选项是比较长的,四个选项看上去也差不多一段话了,所以肯定要抓住关键词推断才行,如否定词、比较词和并列词。这些是快速阅读选项的第一步。再次也要看到题干和每个选项中能让我们快速定位到原文的关键词。我们还是以托福TPO25为例: TPO25-1 The Surface of Mars Paragraph 5 As on the Moon, the extent of large impact cratering (i.e. craters too big to have been filled in by erosion since they were formed) serves as an age indicator for the Martian surface. Age estimates ranging from four billion years for Marss southern highlands to a few hundred million years in the youngest volcanic areas were obtained in this way。 According to paragraph 5, what have scientists been able to determine from studies of large impact cratering on Mars? A. Some Martian volcanoes are much older than was once thought。 B. The age of Marss surface can vary from area to area。 C. Large impact craters are not reliable indicators of age in areas with high volcanic activity。 D. Some areas of the Martian surface appear to be older than they actually are。 划出选项中的关键词后,定位到原文快速阅读发觉原文中并无如A和D选项中的比较,C中的否定词not和原文是明显相冲突的,故而选择B,而B选项对应的恰好是本段末句:Age estimates ranging from four billion years for Marss southern highlands to a few hundred million years in the youngest volcanic areas were obtained in this way。 依据以上分析,我们应当明白在阅读之时何为关键词。简洁地讲有定位关键词和推断关键词。定位关键词包括题干及选项中的名词,还有就是段落中那些始终向你示好的逻辑信号词了,不要遗忘用它们找到你解题须要的信息。推断关键词是选项中那些有特色的词汇,包括否定词,比较词或者是句子主干中的动词等,依据这些词和原文进行对应,至少有一半的选项可以快速被解除。 托福阅读怎么提高? 一、概括地视察 在练习时我们会读一些文章或者段子,首先我们可以进行略读。对于文章的首段或者每段的内容进行概括,我们就可以知道这些文章都讲了些什么,而不是去通读,逐字去读,逐词去读,这样不奢侈时间,而且对于自己的阅读实力的提升也是微乎其微的。 二、学会来引导阅读 当你在读托福阅读文章的时候,可以为文章的标题、副题、图片及首句设定问题,可以把它们写在各自己的位置,这样你在看问题的时候,就可以帮助你更清楚的了解文章的内容了。 三、学会做标记 假如在托福阅读的时候,我们假如遇到了所答问题关键词或者短语,我们要将它标登记来,并且要将它们积累起来。因为假如这里考到了,说明之后 也可能会考到,这些关键记号和短语就是我们平常练习时须要的积累的学问,不但在之后做阅读题或许会用得到,在托福考试的其它学科可能也是会用得到的。 四、要学会提问题 在阅读的时候,考生要学会提问题,在阅读完一个段落之后,可以在每段的句首位置写出一个问题,当你看到这个问题的就会想到这个段落讲的是什么意思。这样不让自己的对段落有了清晰的相识,还能做到很的归纳总结的作用。 五、学会举一反三 在托福阅读的整个学习过程中,考生要学会类推,也就是在你完全驾驭了文章内容之后,对于文章中出现的一些问题,我们可以把它联系到日常的生活当中,假如在生活当中我们会怎么样,利用这样的联带的关系,考生可以更加的对阅读文章时行融汇贯穿,大在的提高自己的阅读爱好和实力。这也是托福阅读提高的一个很好的途径。 老托福阅读真题及答案 PASSAGE 1本文来源:网络收集与整理,如有侵权,请联系作者删除,谢谢!第14页 共14页第 14 页 共 14 页第 14 页 共 14 页第 14 页 共 14 页第 14 页 共 14 页第 14 页 共 14 页第 14 页 共 14 页第 14 页 共 14 页第 14 页 共 14 页第 14 页 共 14 页第 14 页 共 14 页
