托福tpo -24阅读难吗,和真实考试比较呢
我怎么做得糊里糊涂的
然后TPOTPOd的阅读难度稍微比真实考试难一些,可以先从delta入手。希望对你会有所帮助,然后再做OG,或许会好一些。要是做那个感觉困难的话
大部分TPO阅读我都错3-5个,TPO-24我一篇就错3个,而且做的时候还好多不确定的。
这个其实挺正常的,我一开始做的时候也是对半开,你是什么时候考试?复习了多久了?大概比真实情况难一些。
采纳率:28%

我觉得TPO24是我做过的最难的~尤其是后面两篇文章~虽然之间都接触过这个主题的材料~但是真心觉得这个文章的写法以及一些题目的出发已经接近了GMAT的水平了~
第一篇不是很难,后两篇够受的。。。

期末逼近,本人埋在论文堆之际,在年末再分享一下关于TPO26阅读的解析。供大家参考
阅读的个人经验:
【三部曲】:1.阅读题干(抓准问题的点)----2.找回全文(迅速定位)-----3.寻找选项(直接看到那个对的人,其他不用细看! 这是省时妙招~)
而总结题:1. 细节一定不选; 2. 原文没有出现过的术语、概念、例子一定不选, 一般来说正确的选项是:全文大意/ 某段的总结
本次分析进行了题型分类。
定位/定点题 包括 细节题, 列举题, 作用题
核心题& && &包括 结构题, 总结题
句子改写题
插入句子题
-----------------------------------------------------分割线---------------------------------------------------
TPO26的原文大家自行对照哟,上次上传了效果不太好,字太小了。所以这次索性不拼图了。
简要说明:
P (Passage) 1( 第一篇).1 (第一题) 以此类推。
注意:文章正确答案都是有亮黄色的高亮部分。
能源工业革命
段一: 总结能源不足
段二: 蒸汽机的发明
段三:炼铁厂的变革
段四:两者所带来的交通变革和社会变革。

& &干扰选项B: 选项主要总结了第二段的内容:蒸汽机所产生的机械能对于纺织厂的影响,棉布成为了当时英国最重要的出口物。
& &但B并没有判断第二段在整篇文章里所扮演的角色。回到第一段的第一句,本文的TS:historian have sought to identify crucial elements in the eithteenth-century rise in industry...many give prominece to the problem of energy. 便可得知,第二段展示了十八世纪工业革命中能源问题的重要性。

& &比较简单: accustomedd to 习惯
析:看题干:插入句子题
&&B 句子内容重点是steam-powered locomotives. 而在第四段中只有在However后面才开始说steam engine. 在BCD的位置,只有B合适,因为从时间顺序来看,应该是首先说第一次用蒸汽机的问题,然后再说改进和作用。

& &engrave 雕刻&&故A
析:看题型 -- 句子改写
& & 本句含有同位语从句。 一个discovery, 怎样的discovery, if copper was mixed with tin, they can produce bronze. 这就是同位语从句的主要意思,选项中不可漏掉这个意思。 故筛选后应选A
析:看题型 -- 同义词
& & 比较简单, widespread, 大量传播的,广泛的。
析: 看题型 ---插入句子
& & 句子关键词, diverse life, engaged in a variety of occupations. CD关于写作,明显排除。 A与B之间,A前面是secular rulers后面是职位。 该句子的内容恰好可承接住上句的现世领导,并为下一句的occupation开了头。&&而B中的system与前一句的trading联系密切。 故选A。
析:题型-- 核心题 ---总结题
& & 1.定位第一段关于elite出现的理由,可知自然资源稀缺不是理由
& & 2. 关于Eridu,只强调了关于god的内容,其他未涉及
& & 4. priests 未涉及。

我就是想问下C选项也包含aestivation,为什么不选,是因为or的原因吗?一直不太懂这种句子的同义转化,不是说不能leave out information吗,为什么正确选项里面没有涉及到新陈代谢减慢?

托福TPO22阅读第二篇原文及题目详解
前面给同学分享了TPO22阅读第一篇原文及题目详解。希望考生认真看。真题是托福考试的标尺和模型,一定要重视。下面继续请看托福频道为大家奉上的托福TPO22阅读第二篇原文及题目详解。
  Perceptions of the visible world were greatly altered by the invention of photography in the middle of the nineteenth century. In particular, and quite logically, the art of painting was forever changed, though not always in the ways one might have expected. The realistic and naturalistic painters of the mid- and late-nineteenth century were all intently aware of photography&as a thing to use, to learn from, and react to.
  Unlike most major inventions, photography had been long and impatiently awaited. The images produced by the camera obscura, a boxlike device that used a pinhole or lens to throw an image onto a ground-glass screen or a piece of white paper, were already familiar&the device had been much employed by topographical artists like the Italian painter Canaletto in his detailed views of the city of Venice. What was lacking was a way of giving such images permanent form. This was finally achieved by Louis Daguerre (), who perfected a way of fixing them on a silvered copper plate. His discovery, the &daguerreotype,& was announced in 1839.
  A second and very different process was patented by the British inventor William Henry Talbot () in 1841. Talbot&#39;s &calotype& was the first negative-to-positive process and the direct ancestor of the modern photograph. The calotype was revolutionary in its use of chemically treated paper in which areas hit by light became dark in tone, producing a negative image. This &negative,& as Talbot called it, could then be used to print multiple positive images on another piece of treated paper.
  The two processes produced very different results. The daguerreotype was a unique image that reproduced what was in front of the camera lens in minute, unselective detail and could not be duplicated. The calotype could be made in series, and was thus the equivalent of an etching or an engraving. Its general effect was soft edged and tonal.
  One of the things that most impressed the original audience for photography was the idea of authenticity. Nature now seemed able to speak for itself, with a minimum of interference. The title Talbot chose for his book, The Pencil of Nature (the first part of which was published in 1844), reflected this feeling. Artists were fascinated by photography because it offered a way of examining the world in much greater detail. They were also afraid of it, because it seemed likely to make their own efforts unnecessary.
  Photography did indeed make certain kinds of painting obsolete&the daguerreotype virtually did away with the portrait miniature. It also made the whole business of making and owning images democratic. Portraiture, once a luxury for the privileged few, was suddenly well within the reach of many more people.
  In the long term, photography&#39;s impact on the visual arts was far from simple. Because the medium was so prolific, in the sense that it was possible to produce a multitude of images very cheaply, it was soon treated as the poor relation of fine art, rather than its destined successor. Even those artists who were most dependent on photography became reluctant to admit that they made use of it, in case this compromised their professional standing.
  The rapid technical development of photography&the introduction of lighter and simpler equipment, and of new emulsions that coated photographic plates, film, and paper and enabled images to be made at much faster speeds&had some unanticipated consequences. Scientific experiments made by photographers such as Eadweard Muybridge () and Etienne-Jules Marey () demonstrated that the movements of both humans and animals differed widely from the way they had been traditionally represented in art. Artists, often reluctantly, were forced to accept the evidence provided by the camera. The new candid photography&unposed pictures that were made when the subjects were unaware that their pictures were being taken&confirmed these scientific results, and at the same time, thanks to the radical cropping (trimming) of images that the camera often imposed, suggested new compositional formats. The accidental effects obtained by candid photographers were soon being copied by artists such as the French painter Degas.
  Paragraph 1: Perceptions of the visible world were greatly altered by the invention of photography in the middle of the nineteenth century. In particular, and quite logically, the art of painting was forever changed, though not always in the ways one might have expected. The realistic and naturalistic painters of the mid- and late-nineteenth century were all intently aware of photography&as a thing to use, to learn from, and react to.
  1. What can be inferred from paragraphs 1 and 2 about the effect of photography on nineteenth-century painting?
  A Photography did not significantly change the way people looked at reality.
  B Most painters used the images of the camera obscura in preference to those of the
  Daguerreotype.
  C Painters who were concerned with realistic or naturalistic representation were
  particularly influenced by photography.
  D Artists used the long-awaited invention of photography in just the ways they had
  expected to.
  推断题
  定位词:effect of photography on nineteenth-century painting
  解析:The realistic and naturalistic painters of the mid- andlate-nineteenth centurywere all intently aware of photography&as a thing to use, to learn from, and react to.画家都关注摄影。选3
  Paragraph 4: The two processes produced very different results. The daguerreotype was a unique image that reproduced what was in front of the camera lens in minute, unselective detail and could not be duplicated. The calotype could be made in series, and was thus the equivalent of an etching or an engraving. Its general effectwas soft edged and tonal.
  2. The word &duplicated&in the passage is closest in meaning to
  O copied
  O replaced
  O handled
  O clarified
  词汇题
  解析:The daguerreotype was a uniqueimage thatreproduced what was in front of the camera lens in minute, unselective detail and could not be duplicated. Unique表示特殊的,独一无二的,reproduce表示再创造,所以这种技术是无法复制的,选1
  3. The phrase &Its general effect&in the passage refers to
  O the camera lens
  O the calotype
  O the etching
  O the engraving
  指代题
  解析:The calotypecould be made in series, and was thus the equivalent of an etching or an engraving. Its general effect was soft edged and tonal.指代一定前指,一般是前一句的主语,选2
  Paragraph 2: Unlike most major inventions, photography had been long and impatiently awaited. The images produced by the camera obscura, a boxlike device that used a pinhole or lens to throw an image onto a ground-glass screen or a piece of white paper, were already familiar&the device had been much employed by topographical artists like the Italian painter Canaletto in his detailed views of the city of Venice. What was lacking was a way of giving such images permanent form. This was finally achieved by Louis Daguerre (), who perfected a way of fixing them on a silvered copper plate.

The calotype was revolutionary in its use of chemically treated paper in which areas hit by light became dark in tone, producing a negative image. This &negative,& as Talbot called it, could then be used to print multiple positive images on another piece of treated paper.
  4. According to paragraphs 2 and 3 which of the following did the daguerreotype and the calotype have in common?
  O They were equally useful for artists.
  O They could be reproduced.
  O They produced a permanent image
  O They were produced on treated paper.
  细节题
  定位词:daguerreotype and the calotype have in common
  解析:Paragraph 2: Unlike most major inventions, photography had been long and impatiently awaited. The images produced by the camera obscura, a boxlike device that used a pinhole or lens to throw an image onto a ground-glass screen or a piece of white paper, were already familiar&the device had been much employed by topographical artists like the Italian painter Canaletto in his detailed views of the city of Venice.What was lacking was a way of giving such images permanent form.

This &negative,& as Talbot called it, could then be used to print multiple positive images on another piece of treated paper.
  分析选项:
  O They were equallyuseful for artists.没有提到同样有用
  O They could be reproduced.没有提到
  O They produced a permanent image
  O They were produced on treated paper.只有calotype用treated paper
  其实通过排除可以得出答案,此题答案比较隐晦,第二段说到技术的缺陷是不能永恒保留图片,所以有了新的发明daguerreotype,之后又出现了calotype,说明这两种方法都是湿的图片永久保存的新的方法,选3
  Paragraph 5: One of the things that most impressed the original audience for photography was the idea of authenticity. Nature now seemed able to speak for itself, with a minimum of interference. The title Talbot chose for his book, The Pencil of Nature (the first part of which was published in 1844), reflected this feeling. Artists were fascinated by photography because it offered a way of examining the world in much greater detail. They were also afraid of it, because it seemed likely to make their own efforts unnecessary.
  5. The word &authenticity&in the passage is closest in meaning to
  O improvement
  O practicality
  O genuineness
  O repetition
  词汇题
  解析:One of the things that most impressed the original audience for photography was the idea ofauthenticity.Nature now seemed able to speak for itself, with a minimum of interference.后面具体解释authenticity 的概念,可以自然的表露,使得干扰最小化,也就是保留真实性,选3
  Paragraph 6: Photography did indeed make certain kinds of painting obsolete&the daguerreotype virtually did away with the portrait miniature. It also made the whole business of making and owning images democratic. Portraiture, once a luxury for the privileged few, was suddenly well within the reach of many more people.
  6. What point does the author make in paragraph 6?
  O Paintings became less expensive because of competition with photography.
  O Photography, unlike painting, was a type of portraiture that even ordinary pe pie could afford.
  O Every style of painting was influenced by the invention of photography.

  Paragraph 8: The rapid technical development of photography&the introduction of lighter and simpler equipment, and of new emulsions that coated photographic plates, film, and paper and enabled images to be made at much faster speeds&had some unanticipatedconsequences.

Artists, often reluctantly, were forced to accept the evidence provided by the camera. The new candid photography&unposed pictures that were made when the subjects were unaware that their pictures were being taken&confirmed these scientific results, and at the same time, thanks to the radical cropping (trimming) of images that the camera often imposed, suggested new compositional formats.

  Unlike most major inventions, photography had been long and impatiently awaited. The images produced by the camera obscura, a boxlike device that used a pinhole or lens to throw an image onto a ground-glass screen or a piece of white paper, were already familiar&the device had been much employed by topographical artists like the Italian painter Canaletto in his detailed views of the city of Venice. What was lacking was a way of giving such images permanent form. This was finally achieved by Louis Daguerre (), who perfected a way of fixing them on a silvered copper plate. His discovery, the &daguerreotype,& was announced in 1839.■
  A second and very different process was patented by the British inventor William Henry Talbot () in 1841.■ Talbot&#39;s &calotype& was the first negative-to-positive process and the direct ancestor of the modern photograph. The calotype was revolutionary in its use of chemically treated paper in which areas hit by light became dark in tone, producing a negative image.■ This &negative,& as Talbot called it, could then be used to print multiple positive images on another piece of treated paper.■
