下面为大家带来的是托福阅读中事实信息题的考点解析与回顾，希望可以帮助到各位。
在托福阅读的十大题型中，事实信息题和词汇题是占据比重*大的两种题型。针对每篇阅读而言，前者要考察3-5题，而后者更是每篇要考察4-6题。就每篇阅读14道题而言，这两种题型就占据了大半壁江山。因此，可以毫不夸张地说，得词汇题和事实信息题的考生可以得托福阅读！下面就让笔者带大家看一看事实信息题的考点以及相应的应对策略。
<1>提问方式
1.According to Paragraph…, which of the following is true about X?
2.According to Paragraph…, how / what / why…?
3.Paragraph… / The passage supports which of the following statements about X?
朗阁海外考试研究中心的认为带有提问方式的题型可以总结为以下几个特点：
a.该题型属于细节类题型，并且在大部分情况下题干中会出现一个明确的细节定位词───X。
b.该题型是对细节信息的正面提问（由题干中true / support可知），这一点与否定事实信息题相反。
c.该题型疑问部分一般由特殊疑问词：which / how / what / why… 引导，可以得出该题型可以就某细节信息的具体"特性、原因、方式等"进行发问。
<2>解题步骤：
步：读题干，划出定位词。
定位词特点：
a.在提问方式1和3当中就是X所代表的部分。
b.在提问方式2中比较复杂，一般是寻找该句中的名词部分，多数充当句中的主语或宾语。
c.定位词有可能是原文原词或者近义词。
例题：
1. According to paragraph 6, which of the following statements about aquifers in deserts is true? (TPO 12 Water in the Desert)
本题干的定位词即aquifers, 符合提问方式1。
2. According to paragraph 7, why would a social group use shunning? (TPO 13 Types of Social Groups)
本题干的定位词即shunning, 符合提问方式2。
3. Paragraph 1 supports which of the following statements about painting in Europe? (TPO 4 Cave Art in Europe)
本题干的定位词即是painting in Europe, 符合提问方式3。
第二步：根据定位词回原文进行定位。
注意：
1.若定位词非原文原词，在定位过程中要对其在原文中的同义替换词敏感。
2.若定位词在原文中出现若干次，要关注所有出现过的地方。
例题：
Paragraph 3: The subjects of the paintings are mostly animals. The paintings rest on bare walls, with no backdrops or environmental trappings. Perhaps, like many contemporary peoples, Upper Paleolithic men and women believed that the drawing of a human image could cause death or injury, and if that were indeed their belief, it might explain why human figures are rarely depicted in cave art. Another explanation for the focus on animals might be that these people sought to improve their luck at hunting. This theory is suggested by evidence of chips in the painted figures, perhaps made by spears thrown at the drawings. But if improving their hunting luck was the chief motivation for the paintings, it is difficult to explain why only a few show signs of having been speared. Perhaps the paintings were inspired by the need to increase the supply of animals. Cave art seems to have reached a peak toward the end of the Upper Paleolithic period, when the herds of game were decreasing. (TPO 4: Cave Art in Europe)
According to paragraph 3, scholars explained chips in the painted figures of animals by proposing that______○ Upper Paleolithic artists used marks to record the animals they had seen.
The paintings were inspired by the need to increase the supply of animals for hunting.
The artists had removed rough spots on the cave walls.
Upper Paleolithic people used the paintings to increase their luck at hunting.
解题步骤：
1.读题干，找出定位词chips
2.根据定位词回原文进行定位，发现在原文中只有一处出现了chips的原词。那么暂且将答案锁定在该句。
Paragraph 6: All this applies, of course, only to an adult leatherback. Hatchlings are simply too small to conserve body heat, even with insulation and countercurrent exchange systems. We do not know how old, or how large, a leatherback has to be before it can switch from a cold-blooded to a warm-blooded mode of life. Leatherbacks reach their immense size in a much shorter time than it takes other sea turtles to grow. Perhaps their rush to adulthood is driven by a simple need to keep warm. (TPO 15: A Warm-blooded Turtle)
11. According to paragraph 6, which of the following statements is most accurate about young leatherback turtles?○ They lack the countercurrent exchange systems that develop in adulthood.
Their rate of growth is slower than that of other sea turtles.
They lose heat easily even with insulation and countercurrent exchange systems.
They switch between cold-blooded and warm-blooded modes throughout their hatchling stage
解题步骤：
1.读题干，划出定位词young leatherback turtles
2.根据定位词回原文进行定位，在原文中并不能找到原文原词。因此，考虑有可能是近义词，进而发现young leatherback turtles的同义替换词hatchlings。
（点评：该题的难点就在于定位，考生必须要对同义替换词非常熟悉）
Paragraph 6: Groundwater is stored in the pore spaces and joints of rocks and unconsolidated (unsolidified) sediments or in the openings widened through fractures and weathering. The water-saturated rock or sediment is known as an "aquifer". Because they are porous, sedimentary rocks, such as sandstones and conglomerates, are important potential sources of groundwater. Large quantities of water may also be stored in lime stones when joints and cracks have been enlarged to form cavities. Most limestone and sandstone aquifers are deep and extensive but may contain ground waters that are not being recharged. Most shallow aquifers in sand and gravel deposits produce lower yields, but they can be rapidly recharged. Some deep aquifers are known as "fossil waters. The term "fossil" describes water that has been present for several thousand years. These aquifers became saturated more than 10,000 years ago and are no longer being recharged. (TPO 12: Water in the Desert)
8. According to paragraph 6, which of the following statements about aquifers in deserts is true?
Water from limestone and sandstone aquifers is generally better to drink than water from sand and gravel aquifers
Sand and gravel aquifers tend to contain less groundwater than limestone or sandstone aquifers
Groundwater in deep aquifers is more likely to be recharged than groundwater in shallow aquifers
Sedimentary rocks, because they are porous, are not capable of storing large amounts of groundwater
解题步骤：
1.读题干，找出定位词aquifers in deserts
2.根据定位词回原文进行定位，在原文中找到了aquifers的原文原词，但问题是出现了五次。
（点评：该题的难点不在于寻找定位词，而在于定位词出现次数过多，因此考生此时需要看的范围非常大，对于考生筛选信息的能力要求比较高。）
第三步：比较定位句和选项，筛选出和原文信息匹配的选项。
注意：
1.大多数情况下答案就在定位词所在的句子里，但有时也有可能位于定位句的上一句或下一句。
2.考生只需要核对定位句的信息和选项里的信息是否吻合即可，不需要推理。
3.该题型对于考生的长难句分析能力要求比较高，因为往往定位句都是结构上比较复杂的句子。
