Hi Guys,

These are some information and questions about the TOEFL Reading Section (PBT)

 

[clap]VOCABULARY AND READING:grad:

Good reading skills and an ample vocabulary are keys to doing well on all sections of the TOEFL.

This section of the TOEFL specifically test these skills. Many TOEFL test takers complain that they

do not have enough time to carefully answer all questions in this section. It is very important that

you follow the instructions in this book so that you will use all the allotted time to your advantage.

Vocabulary

The first questions on this section will test your English vocabulary. There are 30 academic

sentences, each containing an underlined word. You must choose the word that has the same

meaning from among the four choices. Here's an example.

YOU WILL SEE:

The United States has instituted a set of forest conservation measures to maintain forest land.

(A) accepted

(B) published

© established

(D) suggested

The word that is closest in meaning to the tested word, instituted, is choice ©. Further hints for

vocabulary questions can be found in

Chapter 2.

Reading Comprehension

Your ability to read and understand college level reading material is test on this part of the TOEFL.

You will find five or six reading passages, each followed by four to seven questions. You must

work quickly and efficiently. Here is a sample passage.

YOU WILL SEE:

A lens has one or more curved surfaces that refract or bend, light rays passing through it to form an

image on a surface beyond the lens. Examples of such surfaces are the retina of the eye or a movie

screen. The distance from the lens to the focal plane is known as focal length. In cameras,

telescopes, and similar devices, the lens is turned on a screw-thread mounting to adjust the focal

length. This action allows focusing of images of objects at various distances. In the human eye,

focal length is adjusted by muscles that alter the lens curvature. Light rays of different colors are

bent by varying degrees as they pass through a curved surface. This causes a distortion of the

image, known as chromatic aberration. In cameras, sharp images are obtained by arranging two or

more lenses so that the aberration of one cancels out the aberration of another. Such an arrangement

of lenses is called an achromatic lens.

QUESTION:

According to the passage, what is focal length?

(A) A curved surface that refracts light.

(B) The distance from the focal plane to the lens.

© Adjustment by the muscles that alters lens curvature.

(D) The degree that light rays of different colors are bent by the lens.

This is a factual question. The information needed to answer this question is directly stated in the

text. Choice (B) is the correct answer. Some questions will ask you to draw conclusions based on

material in the passage, other will ask about the main idea of a selection. Some may even ask what

information does not appear in the passage.

Hope it's an excellent materials.

Bye
