托福閱讀中的倒裝句整理
托福閱讀之所以讓同學(xué)們苦惱，除了托福閱讀詞匯量較大以外，句子結(jié)構(gòu)復(fù)雜也是新托福閱讀的障礙之一。面對難句，我們必須迅速把握其主干和重點，下面介紹的倒裝句便是如此。來看看吧!
托福閱讀中的倒裝句整理
托福閱讀中的倒裝句主要有下列情況：
1.方位副詞放在句首
Herein lay the beginning of what ultimately turned from ignorance to denial of the value of nutritional therapies in medicine。
2.介詞放在句首
Among the species of seabirds that use the windswept cliffs of the Atlantic coast of Canada in the summer to mate， lay eggs， and rear their young are common murres， Atlantic puffins， black-legged kittiwakes， and northern gannets。
3. 形容詞放在句首
Implicit in it is an aesthetic principle as well： that the medium has certain qualities of beauty and expressiveness with which sculptors must bring own aesthetic sensibilities into harmony。
4.過去分詞放在句首
Accustomed though we are to speaking of the films made before 1927 as “silent”， the film has never been， in the full sense of the word， silent。
5.現(xiàn)在分詞放在句首
Missing until recently were fossils clearly intermediate， or transitional， between land mammals and cetaceans。
句子倒裝的目的主要有兩個：
一是被提前的部分被強調(diào)，如上述的第四句：Accustomed though we are to speaking of the films made before 1927 as “silent”，其中的accustomed按照正常語序應(yīng)該放在are之后：Though we are accustomed to speaking of the films made before 1927 as “silent”。之所以將accustomed提前，是為了強調(diào)它。二是為了句子的平衡，否則將導(dǎo)致頭重腳輕的效果，如上述的第一句、第三句和第五句。以第五句為例，按照正常語序應(yīng)該是：Fossils clearly intermediate， or transitional， between land mammals and cetaceans were missing until recently。但是這種句子結(jié)構(gòu)比較糟糕，因為主語及其修飾語過長(從句首直到cetaceans)，而謂語部分were missing until recently較短，容易造成頭重腳輕的效果。第五句將missing提前，避免了這一現(xiàn)象。
托福閱讀中為了考試時能迅速把握句子的主干，大家需要進行更多的閱讀和分析，每種托福閱讀難句類型都有一定的練習(xí)，在不斷的練習(xí)中自己總結(jié)不同類型文章的行文思路，不同類型考題的答題技巧，練得多了考試時就能駕輕就熟了。
托福閱讀中常見的八個問題
1、如何合理利用技巧完成托福閱讀?
參加托福考試的考試一般集中在高中生、大學(xué)生，詞匯量在四五千左右，他們在接觸托福閱讀的時候會遇到很多生詞，尤其是分門別類的學(xué)科詞匯，分為地理、天文、生物學(xué)、動物學(xué)四大塊，學(xué)員就會有很多的誤解，到底應(yīng)該掌握多少詞匯才能做好托福閱讀。其實只要確定好中心詞匯和構(gòu)架詞匯的區(qū)別，對學(xué)科詞匯只需要認(rèn)知，對構(gòu)架詞匯需要熟知。在技巧中只需要通過分解句型，由于托福閱讀特別長，每個都是長連句分析，把它按照邏輯分解之后，按照關(guān)鍵詞，找到重點部分，最后找到簡潔的出題主干，就很容易理解了。
2、在讀托福閱讀的文章時應(yīng)該采用什么順序和方法?
讀文章一般都是先看題目再讀文章?？搭}目的話，托福和雅思的區(qū)別就在于要我們自己去定位，因為每個題目都是按照文章的順序順延下來的，只是在最后一個小結(jié)題目的時候需要翻開前面的文章，重點讀每一段的首末句找到它。
3、平時再教學(xué)中，學(xué)生做托福閱讀題目時有什么常見的誤區(qū)嗎?
大多數(shù)學(xué)生的問題都在于對句子的理解，尤其是復(fù)合句，學(xué)生無法理解整個句子，而是會按照個別的單次來分散，造成句子理解的中斷。我們在教導(dǎo)的時候會把句子分解，讓學(xué)生去看句子的構(gòu)架，這樣學(xué)生去找主干的話就會容易的多了。由于托福閱讀中，一長段的內(nèi)容實際上有效信息并不多，要從中找出有效信息就需要對句型有了解，只看獨立的詞就無法理解意思。
4、托福閱讀是需要六級以上的詞匯量才能得到相對較高的分?jǐn)?shù)嗎?為什么?
學(xué)生考過六級之后不一定能在托福上獲得高分，六級和托福的考試還是有非常大的區(qū)別。六級的詞匯量是考托福起碼的一個基礎(chǔ)。因為六級背誦的大多數(shù)是構(gòu)架詞匯，這些是需要熟練的。如果有六級詞匯的基礎(chǔ)，后續(xù)學(xué)習(xí)中基礎(chǔ)提高也會比較快。
5、對于基礎(chǔ)較差的學(xué)生，或者是詞匯量不足的高中生，如何學(xué)習(xí)托福去拿到一個較好的分?jǐn)?shù)?
現(xiàn)在教研組也開發(fā)出了針對不同學(xué)生所需要的詞表，詞匯會劃分等級層層遞進，我們現(xiàn)在也已經(jīng)開始對學(xué)生實行，效果也很好。
6、那對于基礎(chǔ)較差的學(xué)生，需要他們詞匯量增加到六級的程度，是否也會比較困難?
也不會很難。詞表設(shè)計十分合理，每一級別都是考試中經(jīng)常出現(xiàn)的高頻詞匯，我們也會讓學(xué)生每天掌握一定的量，學(xué)生如果能按照老師的要求每天完成，進展還是很快的。
7、近期的托福閱讀考試趨勢如何?
最近考試可能會出現(xiàn)一些經(jīng)濟類、美國國家文化、城市類的比較多，通過最近幾次的考試也能看出這些內(nèi)容以前都有涉及到，現(xiàn)在漸漸地考試中出現(xiàn)多了，像考古學(xué)現(xiàn)在也有出現(xiàn)，這些類型的文章對學(xué)生的難度也會比較大，對學(xué)生熟悉度較低，尤其像考古學(xué)的內(nèi)容會涉及到專業(yè)性的詞匯，這些詞匯會有很基礎(chǔ)的構(gòu)架，我們會讓學(xué)生記下來，這樣答題也會比較容易。
8、對于近期要準(zhǔn)備托?？荚嚨膶W(xué)生，是否有建議?
建議學(xué)生正式備考的時間不超過三個月?？荚嚽斑€是希望同學(xué)不要浮躁，按照老師的要求去專心備考，不要有特別多的僥幸心理。有同學(xué)可能覺得選擇題可以按照所謂的技巧去蒙題猜題。我們確實是有給到一些很便捷的猜測題目方法，但是如果在考試時間比較充裕的前提下，還是安心備考，從最基礎(chǔ)的學(xué)起，學(xué)習(xí)必要詞匯，分析文章的方法，培養(yǎng)成一個良好的閱讀習(xí)慣。
托福閱讀真題1
The Native American peoples of the north Pacific Coast created a highly complex maritime culture as they invented modes of production unique to their special environment. In addition to their sophisticated technical culture, they also attained one of the most complex social organizations of any nonagricultural people in the world.
In a division of labor similar to that of the hunting peoples in the interior and among foraging peoples throughout the world, the men did most of the fishing, and the women processed the catch. Women also specialized in the gathering of the abundant shellfish that lived closer to shore. They collected oysters, crabs, sea urchins, mussels, abalone, and clams, which they could gather while remaining close to their children. The maritime life harvested by the women not only provided food, but also supplied more of the raw materials for making tools than did fish gathered by the men. Of particular importance for the native tool kit before the introduction of metal was the wide knife made from the larger mussel shells, and a variety of cutting edges that could be made from other marine shells.
The women used their tools to process all of the fish and marine mammals brought in by the men. They cleaned the fish, and dried vast quantities of them for the winter. They sun-dried fish when practical, but in the rainy climate of the coastal area they also used smokehouses to preserve tons of fish and other seafood annually. Each product had its own peculiar characteristics that demanded a particular way of cutting or drying the meat, and each task required its own cutting blades and other utensils.
After drying the fish, the women pounded some of them into fish meal, which was an easily transported food used in soups, stews, or other dishes to provide protein and thickening in the absence of fresh fish or while on long trips. The woman also made a cheese-like substance from a mixture of fish and roe by aging it in storehouses or by burying it in wooden boxes or pits lined with rocks and tree leaves.

PASSAGE 39 CDAAC BCABB D
托福閱讀真題2
According to anthropologists, people in preindustrial societies spent 3 to 4 hours per day or about 20 hours per week doing the work necessary for life. Modern comparisons of the amount of work performed per week, however, begin with the Industrial Revolution (1760-1840) when 10- to 12-hour workdays with six workdays per week were the norm. Even with extensive time devoted to work, however, both incomes and standards of living were low. As incomes rose near the end of the Industrial Revolution, it became increasingly common to treat Saturday afternoons as a half-day holiday. The half holiday had become standard practice in Britain by the 1870's, but did not become common in the United States until the 1920's.
In the United States, the first third of the twentieth century saw the workweek move from 60 hours per week to just under 50 hours by the start of the 1930's. In 1914 Henry Ford reduced daily work hours at his automobile plants from 9 to 8. In 1926 he announced that henceforth his factories would close for the entire day on Saturday. At the time, Ford received criticism from other firms such as United States Steel and Westinghouse, but the idea was popular with workers.
The Depression years of the 1930's brought with them the notion of job sharing to spread available work around; the workweek dropped to a modem low for the United States of 35 hours. In 1938 the Fair Labor Standards Act mandated a weekly maximum of 40 hours to begin in 1940, and since that time the 8-hour day, 5-day workweek has been the standard in the United States. Adjustments in various places, however, show that this standard is not immutable. In 1987, for example, German metalworkers struck for and received a 37.5-hour workweek; and in 1990 many workers in Britain won a 37-hour week. Since 1989, the Japanese government has moved from a 6- to a 5-day workweek and has set a national target of 1,800 work hours per year for the average worker. The average amount of work per year in Japan in 1989 was 2,088 hours per worker, compared to 1,957 for the United States and 1,646 for France.

(A) minimum.
(B) example
(C) possibility
(D) standard

(A) in the end
(B) for a brief period
(C) from that time on
(D) on occasion
5. The idea mentioned in line 15 refers to
(A) the 60-hour workweek
(B) the reduction in the cost of automobiles
(C) the reduction in the workweek at some automobile factories
(D) the criticism of Ford by United States Steel and Westinghouse
