托福阅读中的大格局

刚触碰托福阅读时，同学们见到好多个数据就会倒抽一口冷气：700字，14个题，二十分钟。

这不是要绝世的节奏感嘛?因而，为了更好地缓解来源于時间的工作压力，教师一般都是会提议同学们做一道题看一个段落。这类方式不容置疑如同一剂强心剂，抚慰了同学们的兵慌马乱。可是此外，另一个难题又造成了——只见树木不见森林。托福阅读简直一道题相匹配一个段落，那麼别的段落的內容就彻底置身世外吗?大家先看来一个事例：Q: Paragraph 2 suggests which of the following about the importance of population density in the industrialization of the Netherlands and Scandinavia?

A. It was a more important factor than population size.

B. It was more influential than the rate of population growth.

C. It was more important in the early stages than it was later.

D. It was not a significant factor.

Paragraph 2: All had small populations. At the beginning of the nineteenth century, Denmark and Norway had fewer than 1 million people, while Sweden and the Netherlands had fewer than 2.5 million inhabitants. All exhibited moderate growth rates in the course of the century (Denmark the highest and Sweden the lowest), but all more than doubled in population by 1900. Density varied greatly. The Netherlands had one of the highest population densities in Europe, whereas Norway and Sweden had the lowest Denmark was in between but closer to the Netherlands. 它是来源于TPO18里的一道推论题，一般做题构思是先找精准定位词，随后文本分析，最终挑选回答。这道题精准定位以后会寻找最终几句话都跟density有关系，可是要想从这几句话把回答寻找，这有点自讨没趣。而假如在做题以前，大伙儿对这篇文章的主题及其合理布局有一个大概的掌握就会非常容易得多。

在toefl文章内容里一般每一个段落的第一句话就是这个段落的中心思想句，因此只需看完第一段的第一句，再开展略微的整理，这篇文章的疏忽也就非常清楚了。上边提及的这篇文章一共6段，第一段的主题句各自以下：

1)While some European countries, such as England and Germany, began to industrialize in the eighteenth century, the Netherlands and the Scandinavian countries of Denmark, Norway, and Sweden developed later.

2)All had small populations.
