對(duì)于托福閱讀，難點(diǎn)有很多，那么今天就51出國(guó)留學(xué)網(wǎng)的小編一起來(lái)看看托福閱讀考試直接信息題答題技巧。歡迎閱讀。
一般能來(lái)說(shuō)，托福閱讀直接信息題的解題需要遵循三步：1.從題干中找到定位關(guān)鍵詞 2.通過(guò)定位關(guān)鍵詞找到對(duì)應(yīng)原文，得出原文答案 3.將四個(gè)選項(xiàng)跟原文答案進(jìn)行對(duì)照，看哪個(gè)選項(xiàng)是對(duì)原文答案的同義改寫(xiě)。這個(gè)過(guò)程中最重要的主要有兩種能力：關(guān)鍵詞定位與同義改寫(xiě)。
首先我們來(lái)看看“定位關(guān)鍵詞”。，按照“識(shí)別度高低”排序可以有如下這些幫助我們回到原文定位的關(guān)鍵詞：
（1） 數(shù)字、大寫(xiě)、符號(hào)（引號(hào)、破折號(hào)、連字符、斜體...）
（2） 名詞（以具體名詞為主、抽象名詞為輔，因?yàn)榍罢吒蝗菀妆桓膶?xiě)）
（3） 比較級(jí)、最高級(jí)
（4） 動(dòng)詞、形容詞、副詞
在關(guān)鍵詞定位的過(guò)程中我們要對(duì)題干中諸如when、where 、how 、why等特殊疑問(wèn)詞敏感，這些單詞可以幫我們更好地判斷題目的考查方向，讓我們知道最終要找到什么。另外文章標(biāo)題詞不可作為定位關(guān)鍵詞，因?yàn)楦哳l詞沒(méi)有定位價(jià)值。
關(guān)于Step 2“原文答案”，這是指的是如果題目沒(méi)有四個(gè)選項(xiàng)、只有題干的話(huà)，這道題就類(lèi)似一道簡(jiǎn)答題，那么這個(gè)“原文答案”就是該簡(jiǎn)答題的答案。最后關(guān)于Step 3“同義改寫(xiě)”，這也是托?？荚囎顝V泛考察的能力之一了，指同義詞或近義詞的替換。
接下來(lái)我們運(yùn)用這個(gè)三步走的策略來(lái)解答下面兩道題：
例題1
Though it may be difficult to imagine from a later perspective， a strain of critical opinion in the 1920s predicted that sound film would be a technical novelty that would soon fade from sight， just as had many previous attempts， dating well back before the First World War， to link images with recorded sound. These critics were making a common assumption-that the technological inadequacies of earlier efforts （poor synchronization， weak sound amplification， fragile sound recordings） would invariably occur again. To be sure， their evaluation of the technical flaws in 1920s sound experiments was not so far off the mark， yet they neglected to take into account important new forces in the motion picture field that， in a sense， would not take no for an answer.
Which of the following is true about the technical problems of early sound films？
（A） Linking images with recorded sound was a larger obstacle than weak sound amplification or fragile sound recordings.
（B） Sound films in the 1920s were unable to solve the technical flaws found in sound films before the First World War.
（C） Technical inadequacies occurred less frequently in early sound films than critics suggested.
（D） Critics assumed that it would be impossible to overcome the technical difficulties experienced with earlier sound films.
解析：
Step1題干： 找出題干的定位關(guān)鍵詞，是technical problems of early sound films。這段所有句子就是圍繞early sound films展開(kāi)的，所以early sound films沒(méi)有定位價(jià)值，所以需要通過(guò)technical problems來(lái)定位；technical problems是抽象詞，一般會(huì)發(fā)生改寫(xiě)。
Step2原文： 我們發(fā)現(xiàn)原文中有兩個(gè)短語(yǔ)都跟technical problems同義改寫(xiě)，分別是倒數(shù)第二句的technological inadequacies和倒數(shù)第一句的technical flaws。
Step3選項(xiàng)： 縱觀四個(gè)選項(xiàng)，我們發(fā)現(xiàn)D選項(xiàng)跟倒數(shù)第二句同義改寫(xiě)，其中impossible to overcome跟原文中would invariably occur again是同義改寫(xiě)，technical difficulties跟題干關(guān)鍵詞是同義改寫(xiě)。
例題2
Statues were normally made of stone， wood， or metal. Stone statues were worked from single rectangular blocks of material and retained the compactness of the original shape. The stone between the arms and the body and between the legs in standing figures or the legs and the seat in seated ones was not normally cut away. From a practical aspect this protected the figures against breakage and psychologically gives the images a sense of strength and power， usually enhanced by a supporting back pillar. By contrast， wooden statues were carved from several pieces of wood that were pegged together to form the finished work， and metal statues were either made by wrapping sheet metal around a wooden core or cast by the lost wax process. The arms could be held away from the body and carry separate items in their hands； there is no back pillar. The effect is altogether lighter and freer than that achieved in stone， but because both perform the same function， formal wooden and metal statues still display frontality.
Which of the following statements about wooden statues is true？
（A） Wooden statues were usually larger than stone statues.
（B） Wooden statues were made from a single piece of wood.
（C） Wooden statues contained pieces of metal or stone attached to the front.
（D） Wooden statues had a different effect on the viewer than stone statues.
解析：
Step1題干： 找出題干的定位關(guān)鍵詞，是wooden statues；這是具體名詞，一般不會(huì)改寫(xiě)。
Step2原文：根據(jù)wooden statues定位至倒數(shù)第三句（以By contrast開(kāi)頭），我們發(fā)現(xiàn)之后兩句話(huà)也都是關(guān)于wooden statues的信息；那么原文答案就是最后三句話(huà)。
Step3選項(xiàng)： 縱觀四個(gè)選項(xiàng)，我們發(fā)現(xiàn)D選項(xiàng)跟原文最后一句話(huà)but之前的信息同義改寫(xiě)，所以答案是D。
