第2部分(第2页)

The surface…atmosphere relationships inside metropolitan areas produce a number of climatic peculiarities。 For one thing; the presence or absence of moisture is affected by the special qualities of the urban surface。 With much of the built…up landscape impenetrable by water; even gentle rain runs off almost immediately from rooftops; streets; and parking lots。 Thus; city surfaces; as well as the air above them; tend to be drier between episodes of rain; with little water available for the cooling process of evaporation; relative humidities are usually lower。 Wind movements are also modified in cities because buildings increase the friction on air flowing around them。 This friction tends to slow the speed of winds; making them far less efficient at dispersing pollutants。 On the other hand; air turbulence increases because of the effect of skyscrapers on airflow。 Rainfall is also increased in cities。 The cause appears to be in part greater turbulence in the urban atmosphere as hot air rises from the built…up surface。

Question: Cities create climatic conditions of their own through their physical structure and urban activities。

Answer Choices

1。 The amount of heat produced in a city will be reduced when cities use the heat from cars to warm houses。

2。 The built up landscape of the city readily bees a heat island; with greater water runoff and special climatic conditions such as low relative humidity and increased air turbulence。

3。 The materials from which cities are built and the effects of pollution domes help make urban areas warmer than rural areas。

4。 Cities tend to be warmer than their surrounding areas; in part because they produce heat by burning fuel for heating; powering vehicles; and industrial production。

5。 In most cities; the heating that results from solar radiation is intensified by carbon dioxide; a gas that is present at very high concentrations in cities’ atmospheres。

6。 During periods without rainfall; the air in cities heats up and causes winds to slow down with the result that pollutants are not dispersed。

阅读题干,可以知道题目要求选出符合“城市自身结构和城市活动会形成其自身的气候条件”这一说法的选项。

观察选项,第一项的意思是“城市产生的热量会受因汽车的使用等因素影响”,而这只是支持“城市活动会影响气候”这一观点的一个细节,没有概括地谈及气候的形成,因此不符合题意;

第二项主要讲的是“城市地貌特征很容易形成热岛”,是对文章最后两段的总结,因此符合题意;

第三项讲的是“城建材料和污染会使城市比农村更温暖”,是文章第三段提到的“两个影响气候的因素”的其中一个,因此符合题意;

第四项表述的是“城市中燃料的使用也会使温度升高”,这与文章第四段的观点相符,因此是正确选项;

第五项讲的是“城市大气中的二氧化碳能使太阳辐射产生的热量变得更多”;和第一个选项一样,这也是一个细节性的陈述;

第六项提到“在没有降雨的时期,城市中的空气会升温,使风速减慢,因此污染物不容易扩散”,这不符合题目的要求,因此可以确定不是正确选项。

图表题则需要考生在备选答案中选出正确的选项填入表格。要做好这道题,考生需要对文章的结构有一个清晰的了解。建立的文章结构大纲要包含重要的细节,以及作者的观点,这样才能有助于选择正确的答案。

三、必备阅读技巧

想在托福阅读考试中获得高分,除了熟悉考试中常见的单词、文章的特点,以及题目类型以外,掌握一些解题必备技巧也是必不可少的。

在实际考试中,我们可以参考以下这些有助于提高阅读成绩的技巧:

1。 在原文中找出处

在选择答案的时候,一定要回到原文中找到根据,否则很容易被干扰选项误导,做出错误的选择。

2。 通过关键词定位

托福阅读考试时间有限,因此要掌握略读的技巧。可以提取题目中的关键词,确定考查点,然后直接回到原文相应的段落定位答案,而其他不重要的信息则可以略过。

3。 通过上下文猜测词义

对于考查某个特定单词意思的问题,如果不认识这个词,那么一定不能放过它前后的句子,可以试着通过上下文推断出它的含义。

4。 熟悉错误答案的出题路数

平时在练习的时候,也要关注错误选项的出题路数。比如可能在选项中换掉那些修饰程度的副词,使选项涉及的范围扩大或缩小等。
