托福阅读学习技巧
一、语言精确性:这个问题涵盖了很多比较琐碎的小问题,例如不同词序在语言表达上的巨大区别,意思相近两个词反映的不同语境,不起眼的虚词对句意的重要影响等等,因为同学们很难分辨这些细节对题目、选项和文章的影响,所以绝大多数同学都会常常遇到一个重要困难,觉得很多题目中,总是能先排除两个错误选项,还剩两个选项都有可能,自己只能凭感觉选一个,严重影响了正确率。而市面上的教材和多数的培训课程并不强调语言的精确性,导致了大量在这一部分有缺陷的同学难以提高托福阅读分数。

Making an efficient icebox was not as easy as we might now suppose. In the early nineteenth century, the knowledge of the physics of heat, which was essential to a science of refrigeration, was rudimentary. The commonsense notion that the best ice-box was one that prevented the ice from melting was of course mistaken, for it was the melting of the ice that performed the cooling. Nevertheless, early efforts to economize ice included wrapping the ice in blankets, which kept the ice from doing its job. Not until near the end of the nineteenth century did inventors achieve the delicate balance of insulation and circulation needed for an efficient icebox.
According to the information in the second paragraph, an ideal icebox would
