托福閱讀解題技巧之表格題目

　　IBT閱讀中的表格題是新題型，同時(shí)在IBT聽力部分也出現(xiàn)了。與聽力部分不同的是，IBT閱讀部分的表格題既包括了對全文重點(diǎn)內(nèi)容的發(fā)問又包括了對全文主題和結(jié)論發(fā)問。它們以對比表格和總結(jié)表格的形式出現(xiàn)。相對于聽力表格題來說，閱讀部分的難度系數(shù)更大一些。在IBT閱讀的3篇文章中有兩個(gè)此類問題，且通常是文章最后一道題目，為2分。

　　表格題分為兩大類：總結(jié)表格題和對比表格題。

　　1、總結(jié)表格題

　　相對而言， 總結(jié)表格題的出現(xiàn)頻率要高于對比表格題，這是由它們自身特點(diǎn)，出題方式和原文是否具備對比對照關(guān)系這三方面的因素決定的。

　　2、題的出題模式有兩種：

　　一種是針對全文內(nèi)容出題，答案由全文的主題，細(xì)節(jié)和重點(diǎn)支持段落的概述三部分組成。另外一種是針對文章中的重點(diǎn)支持性段落出題，答案由這些重點(diǎn)支持性段落主題，段落結(jié)論，以及重點(diǎn)支持性例子的概述三部分組成。這里我們重點(diǎn)看第一種出題模式。

　　我們來看一個(gè)例子，

　　The Atlantic Cod Fishery

　　Off the northeastern shore of North America, from the island of Newfoundland in Canada south to new England in the United States, there is a series of shallow areas called banks. Several large banks off Newfoundland are together called Grand Banks, huge shoals on the edge of North American continental shelf, where the warm waters of the Gulf Stream meet the cold waters of Labrador Current. As the currents brush each other, they stir up mineral from the ocean floor, providing nutrients for plankton and tiny shrimp-like creatures called krill, which feed on the plankton. Herring and other small fish rise to the surface to eat the krill. Groundfish, such as the Atlantic cod, live in the ocean’s bottom layer, congregating in the shallow waters where they prey on krill and small fish. This rich environment has produced cod by the millions and once had a greater density of cod than anywhere else on Earth.

　　Beginning in the eleventh century, boats from the ports of north western Europe arrived to fish the Grand Banks. For the next eight centuries, the entire Newfoundland economy taking fish back to European markets. Cod laid out to dry on wooden “flakes” was a common sight in the fishing villages dotting the coast. Settlers in the region used to think the only sea creature worth talking about was cod, and in the local speech the word “fish” became synonymous with cod. Newfoundland’s national dish was a pudding whose main ingredient was cod.

　　By the nineteenth century, the Newfoundland fishery was largely controlled by merchants based in the capital at St. John’s. They marketed the catch supplied by the fishers working out of more than 600 villages around the long coastline. In return, the merchants provided fishing equipment, clothing, and all the food that could not be grown in the island’s thin, rocky soil. This system kept the fishers in a continuous state of debt and dependence on the merchants.
