在做托福阅读的细节类题目和推断题的时候，做题习惯一般分为两类：
1 — 先把原文或原段读个通透，然后结合自己的记忆信息来阅读题目、选择选项;
2 — 先读题目，根据题目中得关键词定位到原文某个句子，然后根据定位句的句意来判断哪个选项是正确答案。
不管你属于哪一类，都请仔细阅读本文的内容，因为今天内容的重点是这两种解题习惯中都不可或缺的一个步骤：读题。
读题的时候，我们需要做的都不仅仅是搞清楚题目的类型、找出定位的关键词以及找到定位句，我们还需要在最开始就清楚地明白，题目问的到底是在问什么。
这样做会带来两个好处：
1.方便我们在之后的做题步骤中，有效地筛选出回答题目的信息，快速排除无效信息，减少纠结上浪费的时间;
2.能够帮助我们避开出题人故意设置的干扰选项
大家先来做一下下面这道题，
选自TPO11的Ancient Egyptian Sculpture
Paragraph 1: In order to understand ancient Egyptian art, it is vital to know as much as possible of the elite Egyptians’ view of the world and the functions and contexts of the art produced for them. Without this knowledge we can appreciate only the formal content of Egyptian art, and we will fail to understand why it was produced or the concepts that shaped it and caused it to adopt its distinctive forms. In fact, a lack of understanding concerning the purposes of Egyptian art has often led it to be compared unfavorably with the art of other cultures: Why did the Egyptians not develop sculpture in which the body turned and twisted through space like classical Greek statuary? Why do the artists seem to get left and right confused? And why did they not discover the geometric perspective as European artists did in the Renaissance? The answer to such questions has nothing to do with a lack of skill or imagination on the part of Egyptian artists and everything to do with the purposes for which they were producing their art.
问题1：Paragraph 1 suggests that one reason Egyptian art is viewed less favorably than other art is that Egyptian art lacks
A. a realistic sense of human body proportion
B. a focus on distinctive forms of varying sizes
C. the originality of European art
D. the capacity to show the human body in motion
这道题目的答案是D，小伙伴们检查检查，看看做没做对。
1.如果做对了，那么请尝试着给其他同学讲讲你是咋选的，如果能够讲清楚，那么代表你已经是阅读的大神级人物了。
2.如果没做对，且听我娓娓道来。
这道题目通常会犯的一个问题就是根据定位的句子：In fact, a lack of understanding concerning the purposes of Egyptian art has often led it to be compared unfavorably with the art of other cultures. 直接进行答案的选择。但实际上，如果你只定位或读到这个句子，那说明你根本没有看清楚题目，做题的时候根本没有动脑筋。
题目问的是：埃及艺术缺乏了一个什么东西，使得它不被人们喜欢?
这个句子虽然存在一个表示因果关系的led to，但总结一下就会发现，尽管结果“compared unfavorably with the art of other cultures”和题目一毛一样，这个句子给我们的原因却是“不理解埃及艺术”，也就是说“因为人们没有足够的理解埃及艺术的目的，才导致他们觉得埃及艺术很挫”呢!
只有欣赏者才会不理解埃及艺术，怎么可能是埃及艺术自身无法理解自己???
所以，只有读懂了题目的意思才能知道，原来找到了一个完全无用的信息啊。并且，我们也不会反复纠结“为什么没有一个选项能够对的上原文的信息”这个问题了。
接下来，我们需要做的事情就是继续寻找相关信息。
我们把冒号前后的两个完整句子连在一起看一下：
In fact, a lack of understanding concerning the purposes of Egyptian art has often led it to be compared unfavorably with the art of other cultures: Why did the Egyptians not develop sculpture in which the body turned and twisted through space like classical Greek statuary?
