托福阅读备考题型中,有这样一类题目,它就是细节题,这个题目要说简单也是非常简单的,因为答案就在文章里,但是要说难,也是很难的,因为有些细节题难度上升后,定位就变得异常难找!下面我们就一起来看看吧!
今天就跟大家来见识一下细节题的“难点”时刻:
■ 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
在这道题目中,很多同学通过关键词的定位会习惯性的选择Pakicetus和modern cetaceans这两个关键名词来定位,但是殊不知这就落入了题目的“难度升级”圈套。

上述关键词出现在文章中的各个位置,很难再判断出那一句才是最关键的答案句,所以据此,初级阶段的阅读定位策略失败。
在这里,针对于这种不能“只看脸”的细节题,给出一个新的提示和关键词选取方法,关注题干中的动词、形容词和副词的对应!
这种单词想要在文章中找到原词确实不容易,因为答案句在文中与之对应的应该是同义转述。
我们拿上述题目解析,题干中应该关注的是形容词similar类似的,这个词的寻找应该能定位到关键句: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.
意为头盖骨是鲸鱼的样子的(实际意思就是类似),但是下颌骨缺少了开放空间,这个空间因该填满脂肪或者油用来接收声音。
那么根据这个对应就能看到答案对应选项为C。
好了,通过今天这个细节题的知识点讲解,我相信大家一定能够了解到细节题更丰富的做题形态。
记住一点,当某一天题干中的关键名词没有办法帮你做题的时候,想想动词、形容词和副词的同义替换对应哦~
以上就是为大家分享的托福阅读细节题的知识点讲解,希望这些内容对于大家的备考能够有所帮助!
