託福閱讀直接事實題解題方法
託福閱讀對應題型的方法，也是有效提高閱讀分數的途徑之一。所以在具體的複習中，關於考試的題型技巧，大家也要熟練的掌握，這些也有利於我們在考試中有更好的發揮。具體的這些解題方法是什麼?下面小編爲大家整理了詳細的內容，供大家參考!
託福閱讀直接事實題方法介紹
1.選項排除法
直接事實題的正確選項是可以和題幹共同完成一個意羣表述的內容，錯誤選項有三種情形：一種是和原文無關的選項，這種選項可能會出現原文題幹討論對象，但是陳述內容是編造出來的，原文中沒有依據;一種是和題目無關選項，這種選項在原文中可以找到依據，但是並不能回答題幹問題;還有一種是看上去是文章內容，但是出現了一些臆斷的比較級、最高級等信息。
2.定位信息
直接事實題的正確選項是可以和題幹共同完成一個意羣表述的內容，錯誤選項有三種情形：一種是和原文無關的選項，這種選項可能會出現原文題幹討論對象，但是陳述內容是編造出來的，原文中沒有依據;一種是和題目無關選項，這種選項在原文中可以找到依據，但是並不能回答題幹問題;還有一種是看上去是文章內容，但是出現了一些臆斷的比較級、最高級等信息。
3.瞭解出題點
直接事實題往往不會針對像是例子一類太過於細節的內容出題。在出題時，和上面所述出題過程對應，一種是對原文中某個原因的表述出題，將結果放在選項中備選;或者是將結果放在題幹中，將原因放在選項中待選。還有一些情況，託福閱讀直接事實題會對對比事物的優劣勢進行考察;還有的題目會問到某個事件的發展過程、某個人物做的某件事情、某個時間段對應的事件等等。
託福閱讀備考題目解析：直接事實題
問題形式
這種題型要求考生們識別出文章明確闡述的事實信息。這些事實信息問題主要集中於事實、細節、定義或者作者闡述的其他信息。這種題型一般要求考生辨識文章某一部分提到的具體信息，不會問及整篇文章的主旨。通常情況下，相關信息可能是一句話或兩句話。
這種題目的提問方式通常爲：
According to the passage, which/ what/ why/how/who/where/when….
The author’s description of X mentions which of the following?
According to the paragraph, X occurred because …
等等。
解題步驟
1. 看題目，找關鍵詞
2. 帶着關鍵詞在文章中定位相關信息
3. 看選項，找到和原文對應的改寫/同義替換。
注意：
1. 主要考察考生的定位能力
2. 此種題型量大，但難度不大
3. 做題過程中要排除那些錯誤選項，錯誤的選項通常爲
重複文章中的信息，但並沒有回答問題
錯誤表達文章中的信息或觀點
與文章中觀點不符
與文章無關或者文章中沒有被提到。

b 與原文無關的新內容,排除
(3)不要加入自己的觀點
託福閱讀事實信息題題型彙總，以及案例解析
1、題型概述
事實信息題或者稱爲細節題，是託福閱讀考題的基本題型，考查的是提取關鍵詞和在文章中定位解題信息的能力，主要檢驗考生對文章中某一具體內容和細節的把握。事實信息題的問題一般就是純粹的事實層面上的問題，主要問作者說了什麼，哪些信息是真的。此類題考查文章中某一部分的細節信息，不會涉及文章主旨，答案大多能在文章中直接找到，但個別答案則需要一些分析，考生應當能夠將題幹表述的信息定位到文章中相應句子之上以尋求答案。
1. 提問方式
事實信息題通常都是以特殊疑問詞開頭的特殊疑問句，例如：
According to the paragraph, which of the following statements is true about X?
According to the paragraph, what/where/how…..?
According to the paragraph, what does the author say about X?
綜上提問方式，我們有看到一個非常明顯的標示性表述，according to the paragraph,此表述表明我們所選的正確答案在原文中作者是明確描述出來的(explicitly stated), 這可以跟推斷題區分開來。
2. 題目數量
3-6題/篇，出題頻率高，數量大，所以考生必須把此種題型作爲一個重點。
2、解題步驟詳解
1. 閱讀題幹，尋找定位詞(key words)
哪些詞可以充當定位詞以讓我們快速的去原文中來定位?我們會首選一些形式上比較特殊的詞，如專有名詞(人名/地名/特殊歷史時期名)，時間/數字，長難單詞。如果題幹中並未出現此類形式特殊的詞，則我們會選擇題幹中的具體名詞來定位，因爲相對來講，名詞被同義替換的概率相對小一些，但是如果選擇的這個名詞在原段落中出現多次則要學會使用非名詞來定位。
下面具體說一下名詞定位和非名詞定位的優缺點：
名詞定位有個最大的好處是“詞形不變”，但壞處是“它會在文章中多次出現”，與之相反，非名詞定位最大的壞處是“詞形會改變”，但好處是“一般只在文中出現一次”。可見，這兩種定位方式是相輔相成的，所以要將二者結合在一起進行定位。
定位詞在原文中呈現的方式會有兩種，首先原詞重現，其次同義替換，因此要求考生在備考前期要將詞彙基礎打牢，高頻詞及相應的同義詞/近義詞，甚至是反義詞都要有所涉及，這樣才能在考試時迅速識別同義替換進行精確定位。
例題1：
Paragraph 6: All this applies, of course, only to an adult leatherback. Hatchlings are simply too small to conserve body heat, even with insulation and countercurrent exchange systems. We do not know how old, or how large, a leatherback has to be before it can switch from a cold-blooded to a warm-blooded mode of life. Leatherbacks reach their immense size in a much shorter time than it takes other sea turtles to grow. Perhaps their rush to adulthood is driven by a simple need to keep warm. (TPO 15 – Passage 1)
11. According to paragraph 6, which of the following statements is most accurate about young leatherback turtles?
○ They lack the countercurrent exchange systems that develop in adulthood.
○ Their rate of growth is slower than that of other sea turtles.
○ They lose heat easily even with insulation and countercurrent exchange systems.
○ They switch between cold-blooded and warm-blooded modes throughout their hatchling stage.
解析：此題可選定位詞爲young leatherback turtles, 回段落中定位發現第二句話寫到hatchlings, 意爲孵化出的幼體，則定位句非常肯定則爲第二句話。不過此題如果真的不認識hatchling, 考生還可以根據上下文大致推測，第一句講到“這隻適用於成年海龜”，然後提到“hatchlings太小而不能….”，所以可以看出前後兩句有對比關係，推斷出hatchling即爲幼小的海龜，則定位到此句。當然最好的狀態還是要積累足夠的詞彙以更加快速準確地定位。
注意：無定位詞的題目。
所謂無定位詞的題目，即爲題幹中出現的信息即爲整個段落所描述的信息或是定位詞即爲段落主題。對於這種題目，無法精確定位到原文中的某一處具體信息，因此需要考生具備很強的信息篩選能力。在考試過程時間緊張的情況下，我們建議採取的策略是用選項來定位以迅速確定每個選項的正確性。
例題2：
Paragraph 6: Groundwater is stored in the pore spaces and joints of rocks and unconsolidated (unsolidified) sediments or in the openings widened through fracturesand weathering. The water-saturated rock or sediment is known as an "aquifer". Because they are porous, sedimentary rocks, such as sandstones and conglomerates, are important potential sources of groundwater. Large quantities of water may also be stored in limestones when joints and cracks have been enlarged to form cavities. Most limestone and sandstone aquifers are deep and extensive but may contain groundwaters that are not being recharged. Most shallow aquifers in sand and gravel deposits produce lower yields, but they can be rapidly recharged. Some deep aquifers are known as fossil waters. The term "fossil" describes water that has been present for several thousand years. These aquifers became saturated more than 10,000 years ago and are no longer being recharged. (TPO 12 – Passage 3)
8. According to paragraph 6, which of the following statements about aquifers in deserts is true?
○ Water from limestone and sandstone aquifers is generally better to drink than water from sand and gravel aquifers
○ Sand and gravel aquifers tend to contain less groundwater than limestone or sandstone aquifers
○ Groundwater in deep aquifers is more likely to be recharged than groundwater in shallow aquifers
○ Sedimentary rocks, because they are porous, are not capable of storing large amounts of groundwater
解析：閱讀題幹定位詞則爲aquifers in deserts, 但是瀏覽段落髮現本段從第二句開始就一直在介紹aquifer, 如果選擇直接定位的話，則需要閱讀的篇幅較長，並且讀完段落再去看選項很容易遺忘信息導致浪費時間，因此我們選擇從選項入手，利用選項中的信息定位到原文從而判斷每個選項的真僞。
2. 帶着定位詞在文章中定位相關信息，並精讀定位句。
3. 閱讀選項，找到和定位句對應的同義改寫，確定答案。
正確選項是正確定位句的同義改寫，必須在意思上符合定位句所表達的信息。
例題3：
Paragraph 7: The probability that actual remains of soft tissue will be preserved is improved if the organism dies in an environment of rapid deposition and oxygen deprivation. Under such conditions, the destructive effects of bacteria are diminished. The Middle Eocene Messel Shale (from about 48 million years ago) of Germany accumulated in such an environment. The shale was deposited in an oxygen-deficient lake where lethal gases sometimes bubbled up and killed animals. Their remains accumulated on the floor of the lake and were then covered by clay and silt. Among the superbly preserved Messel fossils are insects with iridescent exoskeletons (hard outer coverings), frogs with skin and blood vessels intact, and even entire small mammals with preserved fur and soft tissue. (TPO20 - Passage3)
11. According to paragraph 7, how do environments containing oxygen affect fossil preservation?
○ They increase the probability that soft-tissue organisms will become fossils.
○ They lead to more bacteria production.
○ They slow the rate at which clay and silt are deposited.
○ They reduce the chance that animal remains will be preserved.
解析：本篇文章的標題即爲fossil preservation, 所以在選擇定位詞時我們會捨棄文章主題類的詞作爲定位詞，則我們應當選擇environments containing oxygen爲定位詞，其中oxygen作爲化學類的專業術語在原文中必定原詞重現，所以很容易觀察到段落中第一句話就涉及到environment和oxygen。精讀第一句話，大意爲“當生物體死在一個快速沉積和缺氧的環境下，軟組織殘骸被保存下來的可能性會增加。”
原文中講到的是缺氧的環境下，而題幹中則是有氧的環境下，因此應當對原文中的信息取反，則爲“在有氧環境下，生物體殘骸被保存下來的可能性降低”，所以答案選D項。D項中chance與原文中的probability又是一組很簡單的同義替換。對於本題很多同學做錯的原因在於不認識“deprivation”一詞，因此很難判斷原文中描述的是“有氧環境”還是“缺氧環境”以至於答案選錯。所以，要做對事實信息題，最關鍵的就是看懂原文，而看懂原文最重要的元素就是考生是否積累了足夠的詞彙量，是否認識豐富的短語和固定搭配，是否能正確分析句子結構，而這些都需要考生在考前長期積累，只有達到這種積累量才能保證做題的正確率，也才能從根本上切實提高自身的英語水平。
3、事實信息題錯誤選項的特徵
1. 選項中出現了原文中未提及的信息
例題4：
Paragraph 2: The Biological Approach. Numerous biological structures and chemicals appear to be involved in aggression. One is the hypothalamus, a region of the brain. In response to certain stimuli, many animals show instinctive aggressive reactions. The hypothalamus appears to be involved in this inborn reaction pattern: electrical stimulation of part of the hypothalamus triggers stereotypical aggressive behaviors in many animals. In people, however, whose brains are more complex, other brain structures apparently moderate possible instincts. (OG)
1. According to paragraph 2, what evidence indicates that aggression in animals is related to the hypothalamus?
○ Some aggressive animal species have a highly developed hypothalamus.
○ Electrical stimulation of the hypothalamus delays animals’ inborn reaction patterns.
○ Animals behaving aggressively show increased activity in the hypothalamus.
○ Animals who lack a hypothalamus display few aggressive tendencies.
解析：閱讀題幹發現一個長難單詞hypothalamus, 則用其去原文中定位，發現第二句話和第四句話都有涉及hypothalamus, 但是第二句話僅僅是一個大概的介紹，說它是大腦的一個區域。仔細閱讀第四句話，意爲“下丘腦(hypothalamus)似乎與動物的這種本能反應有關：對許多動物的下丘腦中部分區域進行電激，會引發一些它們的常見侵略性行爲”。 閱讀選項，發現C選項跟原文表述相一致，其中涉及一定程度的同義改寫，其中“show increased activity”對應原文中的“electrical stimulation”。對於本題有一些同學會誤選爲B選項，是因爲被一些與原文中一模一樣的詞所幹擾，如“Electrical stimulation of the hypothalamus”, “inborn reaction patterns”, 但是忽略了delay這一信息點在原文中並未出現，因此B項爲錯誤選項。
2. 虛假比較。原文定位句中沒有出現比較級，最高級一類的語言現象，但是選項中出現了這種比較。
例題5：
Paragraph 4: 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. (TPO12 - Passage2)
10. According to paragraph 4, which of the following is true about the technical problems of early sound films?
○ Linking images with recorded sound was a larger obstacle than weak sound amplification or fragile sound recordings.
○ Sound films in the 1920s were unable to solve the technical flaws found in sound films before the First World War.
○ Technical inadequacies occurred less frequently in early sound films than critics suggested.
○ Critics assumed that it would be impossible to overcome the technical difficulties experienced with earlier sound films.
解析：本題定位詞爲technical problems, 去原文中尋找發現原文中第二句出現technological inadequacies, 第三句話中出現technical flaws, 都是定位詞的同義替換，則定位到第二三兩句話中，選項根據其中任何一句話來設置都是正確的。精讀完定位句之後，發現D選項與原文第二句話(意爲：早期努力的技術上的不足將會再次發生)意思相一致，則選D項。對於A選項而言，原文第二句括號中的信息確實提及了一些具體的技術問題(poor synchronization, weak sound amplification, fragile sound recordings)，但原文並未進行比較，因此A選項中(… a larger obstacle than …)出現了虛假比較，則爲錯誤選項。
