实例讲解托福阅读考试判断题

    新托福阅读考试例题：

　　…although we now tend to refer to the various crafts according to the  materials used to construct them-clay， glass， wood， fiber， and metal-it was once  common to think of crafts in terms of function， which led to their being known  as the “applied arts.” approaching crafts from the point of view of function， we  can divide them into simple categories： containers， shelters， and supports.  there is no way around the fact that containers， shelters， and supports must be  functional. the applied arts are thus bound by the laws of physics， which  pertain to both the materials used in their making and the substances and things  to be contained， supported， and sheltered. these laws are universal in their  application， regardless of cultural beliefs， ge**raphy， or climate. if a pot has  no bottom or has large openings in its sides， it could hardly be considered a  container in any traditional sense…

　　the passage discusses applied-art objects in relation to all of the  following except

　　a. the techniques used in their construction

　　b. the ways they have been classified

　　c. their function

　　d. the universality of the laws that govern them

　　[解析]

　　正误判断题实际上也是在考察考生理解文章主要信息的能力，从这一点来讲是与factual  information(事实信息题)相似的，两种题型存在的差异就在于正误判断题是要求考生从四个选项中筛选出与文章不符或文章中没有提到的信息。

　　仔细阅读这一段，我们发现这一段主要是在讨论1，在过去，人们常常是根据功能来区分手工艺术品的，从而产生了“applied  arts(应用艺术品)”这一概念;2，从功能的角度来区分手工艺术品，可以把它们分为收纳物(container)、遮蔽物(shelter)、支撑物  (support);3，应用艺术品受到laws of physics的限定，不仅限定了制作这些艺术品的材料也限定了他们所收纳的、遮蔽的、支撑的物体。

　　这些laws是防止四海皆准的，在任何文化信仰、世界的任何地方和任何一种气候条件都是一样的。比如如果一个没有底的罐子或是一个在旁边开口的罐子，就很难被定一位是收纳物。整个段落都没有提及建造这些艺术品所使用的技术，所以a是文章中没有提到的，为正确答案。

　　以上即为新托福阅读考试中正误判断题(true or  false)的详细解析，希望对大家备考新托福阅读考试有所帮助。
