You have only about a minute and a half per question—and that's without allowing any time for actually reading the passage! It is clearH then, that the reading skills necessary for the TOEFL really are different from other types of reading that you do. To da well on the TOEFL, you have to work on active reading. | 3. D Here is an inference question which requires you to listen to the portion of the lecture reproduced below. P So when biologists talk about the layers of the body that s what they mean The outermost is the skin and nervous system the middle is the muscles and the innermost Is the stomach basically. It s important to get that straight right from the beginning because most people well isn t it natural to think of the bones as the innermost layer Eliminate answer choice B right away because it s too strong. We don t know anything about what most people think. And C is wrong as well. The comment isn t about what scientists think the lecturer is making sure the class understands the subject Answer choice A is the trap. While it may be true that tire bones are not one of the layers that is not what the speaker means with the line isn t it natural to think of the bones as the innermost layer 4 A C If you took notes on the key characteristics of the category you may have found this question fairly straightforward. If not you should eliminate answer B . Bones are not part of the categories we just heard that very fact repeated in the previous question. And it wouldn t make sense to choose both A and D so you know that one of them is wrong. 5. D The answer to this question is found at the end of the lecture when the professor states P But the next obvious question is whether anyone else has been able to prove any of this right So we ll talk about a few other studies scientists have done recently. Of the answer choices answer choice B is the best candidate for POE if you re unsure of the answer. The questions used by the interviewer are a minor detail. You may also eliminate answer choice C because it seems likely that the professor should continue discussing Sheldon. 6. Here s the correctly completed chart.
