托福考试阅读部分一篇文章一般较长，

所以一般是以段落为单位的。

有时候可能

会有学生说我做题的 时候并不会去看整段啊，

或者有学生说我看懂了哎，

但题目

就是没做对啊

!

要读懂 一个段落我们只需要抓住几个关键词而已。那么关键词怎么抓呢

?

一是看

逻辑信号词

;

二是读句子的时 候一定牢记只看主干

下面我们就以托福

TPO25

中

的文章

The Decline of Venetian Shipping

为例，说说如何巧抓关键词。

TPO25-2 The Decline of Venetian Shipping

：

Paragraph 2 This decline can be seen clearly in the changes that affected

Venetian shipping and trade. First

，

Venic

’

s intermediary functions in the

Adriatic Sea

，

where it had dominated the business of shipping for other

parties

，

were lost to direct trading. In the fifteenth century there was

little problem recruiting sailors to row the galleys (large ships propelled

by oars)

：

guilds (business associations) were required to provide rowers

，

and through a draft system free citizens served compulsorily when called

for. In the early sixteenth century the shortage of rowers was not serious

because the demand for galleys was limited by a move to round ships

(round-hulled ships with more cargo space)

wages doubled among the northern Italian cities

from 1550 to 1590

this did not elicit an increased supply.

以上算得上是托福阅读中较长的段 落了，

在快速阅读这个段落的时候我们要找的

关键词是：逻辑信 号词—如段落中所标示的

first

，

but

，

this

…

我们不难发现

这些信号词所在的句子基本都是解题的信息点。

那 么在做题定位时不妨多加留意。

当然，抓住这些关键词并不难，难在理解。

我们一直强调句子要读主干，那么简单地看这个句子就

是

Venice

’

s functions were lost

，

核心词很显然 是

lost

，也对应了整篇文章

的主题

decline.
