智课网TOEFL备考资料托福阅读单词题作答的一些方法 摘要： 托福阅读单词题作答的一些方法。下面托福小编给大家找来一个例子，通过例题来了解托福阅读中的单词题如何应答。 单词题是 托福 阅读中考察考生对全文理解的题型之一，单词往往一词多义，看考生是否理解该单词在原文中的含义。如果考生能够掌握单词的常用含义，就能在题目中快速选出同义或近义的答案，但有的老师认为单词题可以直接当填空来做，即使不知道单词本身的含义，通过上下文推理的方法，也能得出正确答案。 Paragraph 3: What could cause such high rates of extinction? There are several hypotheses, including warming or cooling of Earth, changes in seasonal fluctuations or ocean currents, and changing positions of the continents. Biological hypotheses include ecological changes brought about by the evolution of cooperation between insects and flowering plants or of bottom-feeding predators in the oceans. Some of the proposed mechanisms required a very brief period during which all extinctions suddenly took place; other mechanisms would be more likely to have taken place more gradually, over an extended period, or at different times on different continents. Some hypotheses fail to account for simultaneous extinctions on land and in the seas. Each mass extinction may have had a different cause. Evidence points to hunting by humans and habitat destruction as the likely causes for the current mass extinction. 3. The word extended in the passage is closest in meaning to ○specific ○unlimited ○reasonable ○long 按照做填空题的解法回到原文，然后看到前一句“Some of the proposed mechanisms……a very brief period……”看到考察单词所在句“Other mechanisms……over an extended period……”因为这两句明显在做一个对比，既然前一句的brief表示短暂的，那么后面extended就必须是短暂的反义词，所以得出答案选long。碰到这样的题，根据上下文解出答案了千万别高兴得太早，这不代表日常的单词累计就不重要了，下面请看另一个 托福阅读 例题： Paragraph1: Glaciers are slowly moving masses of ice that have accumulated on land in areas where more snowfalls during a year than melts. Snow falls as hexagonal crystals, but once on the ground, snow is soon transformed into a compacted mass of smaller, rounded grains. As the air space around them is lessened by compaction and melting, the grains become denser. With further melting, refreezing, and increased weight from newer snowfall above, the snow reaches a granula
