填写托福阅读答题卡时要注意把握节奏
个人性格特点我们有时会担心，阅读速度的加快会影响阅读理解的准确率，其实这是一种误解。当然，盲目追求阅读速度必然要影响阅读理解的质量。我们应该做的是掌握正确的阅读节奏：“根据快和慢两种速度交替而成的节奏来变化自己的阅读速度。” 唱歌因韵律节奏而动听，说话因轻重缓急而悦耳，阅读也是一样，快慢相间的阅读速度才能收到良好的阅读效果。
我们知道，句子是由词组成的，但同一句中的各个词的分量不尽相同，有的起着关键的作用;段落是由句子构成的，然而同一段落中的各个句子的分量也是不尽相同的，有的是关键句、核心句，有的则起着辅助说明的作用，为阐述中心思想而服务。这些关键词、关键句表达的正是段落的重要信息，抓住了它们就等于抓住了段落的核心，就知道了什么地方应该加快速度，什么地方应该放慢速度，当然也就掌握了阅读节奏。
一般而言，对于关键词和关键句应该慢读，做到充分理解，牢牢把握;而对非关键词和非关键句应加快阅读速度，抢出时间，用以反复阅读重点句或归纳总结。请看下面的示例：
成语玩命猜例1：阅读下面的段落：
A lot of people think that cultural anthropology is just about studying the special and strange aspects of a society, but anthropologists are also interested in the aspects of life that ems so ordinary that the people in the society think they are not significant.
阅读此句，我们不难找到一些关键词，如：cultural anthropology, the special and strange aspects of life, but, anthropologists, interested, ordinary, significant。这些关键词反映了此句的主要信息：“许多人认为文化人类学就是研究特殊而奇怪的社会现象，但人类学家有时还对一些人们认为不重要的、看起来很普通的生活现象感兴趣。”通过分析关键词，我们又发现“but”这个具有转折意义的连接词向我们显示了此句的后半句才是整个句子的核心部分，它提示我们阅读时应更加留心阅读后半句的关键词，提炼关键信息。因此，我们可以很肯定地确认此句最重要的意义应该是： “Anthropologists are also interested in the aspects of life so ordinary that people don’t think they are significant.” 并且也可以很肯定
地预测，如有下文，也一定是就后半句所反映的核心信息继续论述，而不是前半句的。这样，在阅读时，我们就会把目光把注意力更加有目的地集中在后半句的关键词上，而对那些附加修饰、说明的部分，如：修饰people的a lot of 、in the society就可以快速阅读，甚至略去不读，因为它不影响我们对中心意思的理解与把握。
例2：阅读下面的段落：
Smell and Memory
Scientists are producing an increasing number of findings on the links between smell and memory. The most prominent scientist in this field is Dr. Alan Hirsch, a US neurologist who specializes in the treatment of patients who have lost their n of smell or taste. He believes that the memories that certain smells bring back to people are not actually as important as the emotions that are associated with the smells. He also argues that our minds filter the emotions in a positive way, making past times em better than they perhaps were.
我们注意到这个段落的题目是“Smell and Memory”，我们还知道题目是中心思想的反映。据此，我们可以得知本段主要论述的应是 smell and memory之间的联系，由此找到了关键词语“the links between smell and memory”(在段首)，而能说明它们之间关系的句子又是最后一句。所以，这个段落的核心信息是： “Some smells remind us of a previous thing in a way that is better than the real experience.” 由此判定，本段的首尾都需细心地、稍慢地阅读，而对“最著名的;专门治疗何种病人的”这样相对次要的句子就可以加快阅读速度。
托福阅读材料：拾荒20年只为妻子圆钢琴梦
吴政老人做拾荒者(waste recycler) 20载，只为圆老伴的钢琴梦。两位老人38年相濡以沫的平淡真爱，成为人们传颂的佳话。
It may have taken him two decades, and the income saved from tons of recycled trash, but Wu Zheng finally fulfilled his wish to buy his wife a piano.
尽管老人吴政花了近20年时间，倾尽靠回收垃圾攒下的积蓄，但他终于圆了妻子的钢琴梦。
"It was not just an instrument, but a witness of the love from my husband," said his wife, Xie Guizhi, who has made the piano the centerpiece of her narrow and crowded guestroom.
“这不仅仅是一件乐器，也见证了老伴对我的爱。”他的妻子谢桂枝说。钢琴已成为了拥挤狭小的客厅中最重要的物件。
"I clean the piano every day and don`t allow other people to touch it," said Xie, 58, a retired worker in Luoyang, Henan province.
“我每天都会把钢琴擦得干干净净的，不许别人碰它。”58岁的谢桂枝说，她是河南洛阳的一名退休工人。
深圳赛格广场Wu, 68, said he made up of his mind to buy his wife a piano long ago, even though their life was poor.
68岁的吴政说，尽管家境并不富裕，但他很久以前就下定决心要为老伴买架钢琴。
"My wife enjoys music and loves piano very much," Wu said. "I dreamed of buying her a piano as early as 38 years ago when we fell in love with each other."
岳飞怎么死
“我老伴特别热爱音乐，喜欢钢琴。”吴政说。“早在38年前我们谈恋爱的时候，我就梦想着给她买一架钢琴。”
Yet the cost of the piano - at 22,550 yuan ($3,500) - was a big sum for the family. His wife suffered from backbone problems for years and Wu`s salary at the rural credit cooperative could only cover the basic expens of food and medicine for the whole family.
然而一架22550元的钢琴对这个家庭来讲是笔不小的支出。吴政的妻子常年饱受脊椎病的折磨，而吴政在城关信用社的收入仅仅能够支撑整个家庭食品和药品的基本支出。
西游记之斗战胜佛To make more money to support the family, Wu decided to pick up recyclable waste after work in the early 1990s."It was a hard decision becau there were lots of prejudices toward waste recyclers at that time," he said. "Most people thought that collecting recyclable stuff from the dustbins was shameful."
过期的红酒有什么用途为了多挣些钱养家，吴政从上世纪90年代初就决定利用业余时间捡破烂。“这是个艰难的决定，因为当时人们对拾荒者持有偏见。”他说，“大多数人觉得从垃圾桶里捡破烂是件丢脸的事。”
泰山老母
To avoid being identified by his acquaintances, Wu wore a mask and a pair of dark glass at first. "It felt like I was committing some wrongdoings when I started to arch for recyclable waste in the street," he said. "The most worrying thing for me was being identified by my colleagues."
为了避免被熟人认出来，起初吴政会带上口罩和墨镜。“刚开始在街上收废品时，我觉得自己就像做坏事一样。”他说，“最怕被同事认出来。”
By collecting all kinds of wastes including rubber shoes, plastic bottles, glass and newspapers, Wu could earn about 4,000 yuan per year and save about 1,000 of that.
