  北京新航道给广大的托福考试的学子们提供实用的资讯指导和考试培训,帮助考生来解决相关的各种问题。托福阅读一直是比重比较大的一个类型题,分值和其他题型对等,但是量却比较大,遇到的生词难点也比较多。一篇文章理解不好,可能会一连错题,所以说做好阅读很重要。那么,怎么样才能阅读速度和答题率呢,北京新航道的老师们指出,平时要多练习,再辅助于各种阅读的技巧,相信大家能拿到阅读的。下面使我们整理的一些阅读相关的材料,考生可以看看,增加知识面锻炼阅读能力。

 

  为了寻找到一片安宁的地区生活,巴西的小绒猴们真是做出了巨大牺牲。今天的新托福考试阅读练习资料就会与大家讨论这个物种的城市生活。

 

  What does a bookworm have in common with a black-tufted marmoset? They both like a little quiet. Or so say scientists in the Royal Society journal Biology Letters. [Marina Duarte et al., "Noisy Human Neighbours Affect Where Urban Monkeys Live"]

 

  As urban areas continue to expand, their human inhabitants spread all sorts of pollution: air pollution, light pollution, even noise pollution. Each of these environmental encroachments affects the survival and behavior of local wildlife. And monkeys are no exception.

 

  Scientists in Brazil were studying how marmosets in a city park cope with ambient noise. And they found that the monkeys tend to settle down in whatever part of the park is most quiet. On weekdays, the marmosets steered clear of the roar of traffic, and on Sundays they shunned the clamor of visiting crowds. They dodged all the din, even when moving meant that they had to leave behind the places that offered them the most food.

 

  It could be that the monkeys are just skittish when it comes to unwelcome sounds. Or maybe they can’t hear what their friends are saying when it gets too loud. Either way, next time you see a cute little marmoset, forget “oooh” or “awwww” or “ee-ee-ee.” Try shhhh.

 

  上面就是我们新航道为大家整理的一篇托福阅读的材料。读得多懂得多,面对考试也就能够坦然应之了。积少成多是硬道理,望各位考生努力,加油!
