改革后的新TOEFL考试难度系数是乎是加大了，但其实在阅读这一块，你会发现时间更充足了。阅读理解部分是新托福（TOEFL）考试重要部分，有3篇学术文章，每篇700字左右，每篇有12-14个问题，做题时间在60分钟左右，分数为30分。第一篇文章限时阅读为20分钟，第二第三篇为40分钟内读完做完即可，而且在规定时间内可以随时回来检查，做题过程中不会的题目可以先跳过，回头有时间再做。TOEFL阅读文章长度大约老TOEFL的二倍，但题目只比老TOEFL增加2-4个小题，但每篇文章的平均时间为20分钟，而旧TOEFL为10分钟，但题目是10个小题左右，按这个比例来看，时间充足了。

　　新TOEFL阅读分为下列题型：

　　第一种题型：词汇题与以往的老TOEFL相比这个题型是太多没有发生改变：

　　The word X in the passage is closet in meaning to

　　第二种题型：代词指代题同老TOEFL，只不过去掉了行数，用加诘姆绞饺猛欠⑾炙？

　　The word X in the passage refers to

　　第三种题型：细节题依然考查我们对于文章细节的把握能力

　　factual information and negative factual information question.

　　第四种题型：推理题文章中明确给出所要推理的内容，如给你结果让你推原因等

　　which of the following can be inferred about X？

　　The author of the passage implies that X……

　　第五种题型：插入句子题：这种题是新TOEFL新增题型，给出一句话让我们来判断这句话应加入一个段落四个方块的哪个部分，用鼠标双击所选的黑色方块即可。这种题目本身不难做，因为需要加入的句子有明确的提示，如This is a question that has puzzled scientists for ages.要求将这句话插入一段话中。我们只需要找到关健词question就可以直接去找哪句话可能是作者提出的问题，将这句话加在那句话之后即可。

　　Extinct but already fully marine cetaceans are known from the fossil record.■how was a gap between a walking mammal and a swimming whale bridged？■Missing until recently were fossils clearly intermediate or transitional between land mammals and cetaceans.■very exciting discoveries have finally allowed scientists to reconstruct the most likely origins of cetaceans.■In 1979，a team looking for fossils in northern Pakistan found what to be the oldest fossil whale.

　　你会发现只有how was a gap between a walking mammal and a swimming whale bridged？这句话是一个问题，所以应放在这句的后面。正确答案就是：Extinct but already fully marine cetaceans are known from the fossil record.■how was a gap between a walking mammal and a swimming whale bridged？This is a question that has puzzled scientists for ages. Missing until recently were fossils clearly intermediate or transitional between land mammals and cetaceans.■very exciting discoveries have finally allowed scientists to reconstruct the most likely origins of cetaceans.■In 1979，a team looking for fossils in northern Pakistan found what to be the oldest fossil whale.
