托福閱讀測驗問題類型 factual information questions事實信息題 = 細節題

一、factual information questions 測驗內容主要針對文章的段落中有關細節、定義、事實或者作者闡述的其他信息。一般來說只對應文章某一個部分或者某一個段落的。而問題內容大多為”因果關係”、”概念”、”比較”等等

二、解題技巧：

A) 針對題目去看選項，先將與文章矛盾或者未提及的刪除。

B) 先依照問題內容找出原文中相關文句(此為定位)：意指依據問題指明的段落、問題中的標誌詞、問題中的關鍵詞去定位對應文句。

C) 之後透過同義替換：定位原文具體句子，將選項與原文對比，查看是否合乎文章主旨或者該段落中的所呈現的概念或因果關係等等。

B) according to the paragraph, why did X do Y?

C) according to the paragraph, which of the following is true of X

D) according to the paragraph, X occurred because

E) the author’s description of X mentions which of the following

四、舉例

Paragraph 5: Although early exhibitors regularly accompanied movies with live acts, the substance of the movies themselves is mass-produced material that can easily be reproduced by theaters with little or no active participation by exhibitor. Even though early exhibitors shaped their film programs by mixing films and other entertainments together in whichever way they though would be most attractive to audiences or by accompanying them with lectures ” their creative control remained limited. What audiences came to see was the technological marvel of the movies; the lifelike reproduction of the commonplace motion of trains, of waves striking the shore, and of people walking in the street; and the magic made possible by trick photography and the manipulation of the camera.

* According to paragraph 5, what role did early exhibitors play in the presentation of movies in theaters?

  ○ They decided how to combine various components of the film program.

  ○ They advised film-makers on appropriate movie content.

  ○ They often took part in the live-action performances.

  ○ They produced and prerecorded the material that was shown in the theaters.

這題的正確答案是：(1)

理由：his is a Factual Information question asking for specific information that can be found in paragraph 5. The correct answer is choice 1, “They decided how to combine various components of the film program,” because that idea is stated explicitly in the paragraph:

“Early exhibitors shaped their film programs by mixing films and other entertainments together.”

The other choices, while possibly true, are not explicitly mentioned in the paragraph as being among the exhibitors’ roles.

其實這題是細節題，解題關鍵主要是”針對問題內容做回答”，或許選項中也有符合文章主旨，但並非就等同於問題所指向的段落大意，因此如果在某幾個選項中搖擺不定，最好能再次確認問題到底問的是什麼，以便於分辨答案。
