托福阅读6选3从没做对过?你需要的秒选技巧在这里!
在各种各样的课程中,关于托福阅读总是会有很多同学问我“老师6选3怎么做?”“老师,6选3从来没对过,怎么破?”。其实稍微有过托福考试和备考经验的同学都能到感受到6选3的难度和深深的恶意。所以,成为托福阅读题型中正确率低的难题也就不难理解了。
6选3也叫做文章内容小结题,是从6个备选选项中选出3个选项来概括总结全文。因此,选出的选项一定是原文的正确内容,而且更重要的是,他们还得是原文内容的总结性信息。
光是讲理论上的技巧很多同学可能消化起来比较慢,我们直接通过实例来讲解秒选难题的方法思路。

阅读原文段落
1.Medieval Europe gave new importance to reliable time. 2.The Catholic Church had its seven daily prayers, one of which was at night, requiring an alarm arrangement to waken monks before dawn. 3.And then the new cities and towns, squeezed by their walls, had to know and order time in order to organize collective activity and ration space. 4.They set a time to go to sleep, to open the market, to close the market, to leave work, and finally a time to put out fires and to go to sleep. 5.All this was compatible with older devices so long as there was only one authoritative timekeeper; but with urban growth and the multiplication of time signals, discrepancy brought discord and strife. 6.Society needed a more dependable instrument of time measurement and found it in the mechanical clock.
>>>> 这个文段中每一个语句我都标注了序号,这里我们要重申一件事情,在托福阅读中,文段主旨信息有可能可以用原文中的原句进行归总,但是也一定有文段主旨句只能通过自己的提炼。
下面我们来看这个段落情况如何。
首先句:中世纪的欧洲非常看重准确的时间;
第2句:(例子展开上一句)在宗教活动上都有对时间的需求;
第3句:(并列上一句)城市也需要准确的时间去安排活动;
第4句:(顺承上一句)他们都需要安排合适的活动;
第5句:因为城市扩大和时间记录手段多了起来就不统一了,产生了不一致;
第6句:社会需要更准确的时间记录,发现机械钟可以。
所以,根据上文共6句话的内容,我们可以看出,句是原文的观点句,总领文段。
其余语句是顺承的展开和具体的说明。
最后一句收尾总结。
所以这个文段的主旨句就是:人们需要准确的时间,机械钟能提供。
>>>> 与本段相关的6选3选项分别是:
A. The increasing complexity of social and economic activity in medieval Europe led to the need for a more dependable means of keeping time than sun and water clocks provided.与主旨内容和文段意思一致,保留;
C. Before the mechanical clock, every city wanted a large number of timekeepers because more timekeepers allowed for better organization of collective activities.
根据我们刚刚的总结和阅读应该能够发现这个选项是错误的,要排除。
好了,通过这次的讲解,相信大家对于如何应对6选3题型也有了一定认识,最后补充一下,这篇文章选自托福模考软件TPO中的第30套题,阅读部分的第三篇《机械钟的发明》。
