托福阅读方法技巧总结
现在我拿本文来展示我的Peter阅读法：
1.60秒预览：看到了The cities in the United States(大写字母，地名)New York City(城市)
a monument to Martin Luther King(名人)差不多了，Peter确定了是人文科学的文章，又和米国有关，涉及到了一些名人，这就是文章的属性.
2.1+1+1：The cities in the United States have been the most visible sponsors andbeneficiaries of projects that place art in public places. +The result of these activities is a groupof artworks that reflect the diversity of contemporary art and the varying character andgoals of the sponsoring communities. +In sculpture, the projects range from a cartoonlikeMermaid in Miami Beach by Roy Lichtenstein to a small forest planted in New York City by AlanSonfist.+And in numerous cities, art is being raised as a symbol of the commitment torevitalize urban areas.+By continuing to sponsor projects involving a growing body of art inpublic places, cities will certainly enlarge the situations in which the public encounters andgrows +They are working in new, often more durable media, and on an unaccustomed scale.所以可以看出文章大概可能仿佛似乎好象在说城市对艺术的资助以及艺术在这种环境下的发展以及对城市的影响.
3.下面开始读文章.读完第一段回想，本段讲了美国城市对公共场所艺术的支持，许多先驱艺术家都参与进来，然后现在许多城市都在建设，这又给了公共场所艺术一个发展的空间.
读完第二段回想，大概作者是在举具体的例子，谈到了雕塑和各城市里的艺术作品.(本段可能会考细节)
第三段回想，这里讲公共场所艺术对市民和艺术家的影响.好了，大概的框架建立了起来，同时Peter把具体的分析用括号括起来放在文章里.现在来看题.
43. According to the passage, new settings for public art are appearing as a result of (A)communities that are building more art museums (B) artists who are moving to urban areas(C) urban development and renewal (D) an increase in the number of artists in the UnitedStates. 答案C，我选D 解答：看看Peter的第一段的3秒回想，城市建设方面，具体句子是With manycities now undergoing renewed development, opportunities are continuously emerging for theinclusion or art in new or renewed public environments, including buildings, (10)plazas, parks,and transportation facilities，然后其实后边也有一句对应的：The specialized requirements ofparticular urban situations have further expanded the use of art in public places:综合起来我们肯定是选C.
49. The word “executing” in line 28 is closest in meaning to (A) judging (B) selling (C) explaining(D) producing 答案是D，我选的C 解答：哈哈，来招牌菜了，我们来分析这个题.Indeed, cities areproviding artists with an opportunity to communicate with a new and broader audience.Artists are recognizing the distinction between public and private spaces, and taking that intoaccount when executing their public commissions. They are working in new, often more durablemedia, and on an unaccustomed scale.好的，OK现在从后句来分析，后句They are working in new,often more durable media, and on an unaccustomed scale和前句是解释关系，也就是同义的，那么我们直接拿来用，They are working 和executing their public commissions对应，好了，去答案里可以直接把producing挑出来了，因为artists的work就是创造，和评判，卖，解释关系不大(其实卖也是artist的工作，但是公共的艺术，在本文和金钱无关)好了，Peter再次赖皮了是不?又没有分析主考词executing，不过既然能选对，不分析这个词不犯法吧，哈哈.(这也是红宝书上的词.)
50. According to paragraph 3, artists who work on public art projects are doing all of thefollowing EXCEPT：
(A) creating artworks that are unusual in size (B) raising funds to sponsor variouspublic projects (C) exposing a large number of people to works of art (D) using newmaterials that are long-lasting.
答案B，我选的D
可以用Peter说的定位方法，
(A) creating artworks that are unusual in size=on an unaccustomed scale
(B) raising funds to sponsor various public projects(C) exposing a large number of people toworks of art=recognizing the distinction between public and private spaces (D) using newmaterials that are long-lasting. =durable 好了，ACD排除了之后，可以选B了.

Questions 1-9: Europa is the smallest of planet Jupiter's four largest moons and the secondmoon out from Jupiter. Until 1979, it was just another astronomy textbook statistic. Thencame the close-up images obtained by the exploratory spacecraft Voyager 2, and within days,Europa was transformed-in our perception, at least-into one of the solar system's (5)mostintriguing(我读到这里就认为这个词有很大的嫌疑考猜词.) worlds. The biggest initial surprise wasthe almost total lack of detail, especially from far away. Even at close range, the only visiblefeatures are thin, kinked brown lines resembling cracks in an eggshell. (前面看不懂没关系，看到了resembling先大笑三声，大概就是cracks in an eggshell)And this analogy is not far off the mark.The surface of Europa is almost pure water ice, but a nearly complete absence of cratersindicates that Europa's surface ice resembles Earth's Antarctic ice cap(再笑吧，我们现在知道surface 像Earth's Antarctic ice cap). The (10) eggshell analogy may be quite accurate sincethe ice could be as little as a few kilometers thick -a true shell around what is likely a subsurfaceliquid ocean that , in turn, encases a rocky core. The interior of Europa has been kept warmover the eons by tidal forces generated by the varying gravitational tugs of the other bigmoons as they wheel around Jupiter. The tides on Europa pull and relax in an endless cycle.The resulting internal heat (15) keeps what would otherwise be ice melted almost to thesurface. The cracklike marks on Europa's icy face appear to be fractures where water or slushoozes from below. (这里不管你能不能看懂中间，这最后一句打死也要明白，因为它在解释鸡蛋壳上的"裂痕"Peter估计这里可能会有考题) Soon after Voyager 2's encounter with Jupiter in 1979, whenthe best images of Europa were obtained, researchers advanced the startling idea thatEuropa's subsurface ocean might harbor life.(老生常谈了!) Life processes could have begunwhen Jupiter was releasing a (20 )vast store of internal heat. Jupiter's early heat was producedby the compression of the material forming the giant planet. Just as the Sun is far lessradiant today than the primal Sun, so the internal heat generated by Jupiter is minorcompared to its former intensity. During this warm phase, some 4.6 billion years ago, Europa'socean may have been liquid right to the surface, making it a crucible for life.
