❃TOEFL-Reading 解題秘訣要領❃

Tip 1: 審視題幹 (scrutinize statements of questions) --- 審慎閱讀問題之陳述, 理解題目所要求之目的為何. 
Tip 2: 搜索關鍵字詞 (search for key words) --- 掌握題幹中所提示之訊息, 並搜索題目之關鍵核心字詞(key words/ phrases). 
Tip 3: 定位 (positioning / locating) --- 回溯關鍵詞所在之原文進行定位. 
Tip 4: 判讀與分析(Judgment / Analysis) --- 慎思與通透明瞭句中之論述, 並善用字裡行間之訊息傳遞, 俾以判斷並比對與選項之吻合度. 


Research has shown that certain minerals are required by plants for normal growth and development.  The soil is the source of these minerals, which are absorbed by the plant with the water from the soil.  Even nitrogen, which is a gas in its elemental state, is normally absorbed from the soil as nitrate ions. Some soils are notoriously deficient in micro nutrients and are therefore unable to support most plant life.  So-called serpentine soils, for example, are deficient in calcium, and only plants able to tolerate low levels of this mineral can survive.  In modern agriculture, mineral depletion of soils is a major concern, since harvesting crops interrupts the recycling of nutrients back to the soil.
 

1. According to Paragraph 1, what is true of plants that can grow in serpentine soil?
(A) They require far less calcium than most plants do. 
(B) They absorb micronutrients unusually well.
(C) They are able to absorb nitrogen in its elemental state.
(D) They are typically crops raised for food.

解題步驟Steps： 
→ 搜索關鍵核心字詞 (key words)  
→ serpentine soil  / plants  
→ 定位 (positioning / locating) 
→ So-called serpentine soils, for example, are deficient in calcium
→ 判讀訊息: only plants able to tolerate low levels of this mineral can survive  
→ 對應選項 (correlation) 
→ 正確答案A. 

同義字詞補充：
1. serpentine (蜿蜒的) = sinuous = tortuous = winding = meandering = devious = circuitous  
2. deficient (缺乏的/不足的) = meager = scant = scanty = skimpy = scarce = sparse = insufficient = inadequate
