It had powerful wings, a condensed body, and a well-formed neck, similar to modern-day birds. However, it possessed similarities to meat-eating dinosaurs, including the composition of its bones and teeth and its lack of a beak. Therefore, a lot of scientists suggest that archaeopteryx had attributes of both feathered dinosaurs and ancestral birds and lived 140 million years ago, during the latter stages of the Jurassic period.The word attributes in the passage is closest in meaning toA meritsB positionsC structuresD characteristicsAnswer and ExplanationD "Attributes" means "properties, qualities," and therefore is closes aning to D characteristics.Question Typeso The word ________ in the passage is closest in meaning too The phrase ________ in the passage is closest in meaning too Which of the following best explains the term ________?Strategy1. A word can have a variety of meanings. Make sure to focus on how the word is used within the context even if you think you know the word.2. If you don't know the given vocabulary word, work out the meaning by using contextual clues. They may include the following forms:① Examples: such as, for example, colon (:)Most reptiles, such as crocodiles, lizards, snakes, and turtles, are well adapted to survive dry conditions.② Similar expressions or synonymsIn 62 AD, Pompeii was at the epicenter of an intense earthquake. The prolonged severe earthquake caused structural damage to the buildings and infrastructure of the city.③ Additional explanation: relative clauses, adverbial clauses, participlesSalt has hygroscopicity , which is a property that allows it to draw water from the surrounding atmosphere.④ Equivalence: dash (-), comma (,)The company filed for bankruptcy - the condition in which a business cannot meet its debt obligations - in March.⑤ Sentence structure that shows comparison, contrast, cause and effect, etc.These objects can seem harmless, but they may easily become dangerous when exposed to certain events such as temperature fluctuations.3. Understanding the general flow of the passage or having some background knowledge about the topic can be helpful in finding the answer.4. Substitute each answer choice into the passage and check whether the answer choice has the same contextual meaning as the original word in the passage.Basic DrillsUpon first arriving in the upper Midwest of the United States, European pioneers found the environment to be similar to their native lands in Northern Europe. With cold winters and a flat, marshy landscape containing few trees, the settlers decided that dugouts were ideal for housing. They didn't need much building material - they were easily built by hollowing out a huge hole in the slope of a hillside; logs or blocks of turf were used for roofing. Windows were covered with oiled paper, and doors and windows only featured on one wall. This type of housing was perfect for establishing a homestead and keeping the family warm and safe until crop yields provided enough money for lumber for a frame farmhouse.1. The phrase hollowing out in the passage is closest in meaning toA opening B digging C measuring D building2. The word featured in the passage is closest in meaning toA functioned B designed C appeared D reflected3. The word yields in the passage is closest in meaning toA output B research C demand D supplyReading Practice ITomb paintings and other works of Egyptian art indicate that it remained virtually unchanged for about 3,000 years. Except for a brief period in the mid 1300s BC, Egyptian art consistently adhered to a strict set of rules, evidence of which can be found in almost any artifact from this period.These rules included painting human figures with a front view of the eye and shoulders and a side view of the head, arms, and legs. Both legs were painted pointing in the same direction as the head, with one foot in front of the other. In addition, artists used flat colors and didn't use shading for human figures. For men's skin, they used dark red or brown paint. For women's skin, they used yellow, white, or a pale brown color.Statues, as they must last forever, were made of rock such as granite or slate. The statues always depicted the front side of the individual. The arms were placed straight by the side of the torso, legs together, whether standing or seated. Indeed, it seems that even the size of the statue was governed by rules; the taller the statue, the more important the person it represented.These formalized and stylized rules have made Egyptian art one of the most widely recognized art forms in the world today. Whether it was paintings or statues, the design of Egyptian art remained consistent throughout this period in history. The only acknowledged variations in form are the portrayals of animals and common people. Depictions of these often reflected a more natural manner, though still within very strict and formulaic rules.Glossarytorso: the human body without the head, arms, or legs1. The word virtually in the passage is closest in meaning toA nearlyB occasionallyC extensivelyD surprisingly2. The phrase adhered to in the passage is closest in meaning toA stuck toB related toC returned toD belonged to3.

新年结束了，该好好复习托福考试了。选了好久选了这一套新托福真经2系列，看着都是最新真题，而且也算是畅销品种，让自己好好学习肯定能考试通过。这本阅读是全英文的，看着印刷很有档次。
买了真经系列全套！真不错！托福考试高分志在必得！
按照托福阅读的10种题型分布的 并且每个部分都有词汇练习 扩充词汇量
除了有针对性练习 还有阅读测试 只是题目数和考试的测试卷有时是不一样的 整体的试卷有点偏少 难度系数有点偏简单 但是对于锻炼阅读技巧和速度 和提升词汇量而言 还是挺不错的一本书
不错的书！！配套买的，托福真经系列的都很喜欢！！
我对托福真经系列图书一向很喜欢 很棒！
按照10种题型进行分类排版，预习与复习有词汇专项，另有2套逼真的模拟题。题材涉及托福常考的各种生物学，动物学，植物学，天文地理等自然科学以及历史，艺术，心理学社会学等社会科学，与托福常考题材差不多。适合通过4-6级的学生复习，先用这本书然后再使用突破口进行训练，托福分数绝对超25.
把新托福题型做出了分类，而且按照从简单到复杂的顺序列出相应的阅读，非常不错！
参照考试界面印的复习书，版面看上去很舒服，而且内容也安排的很好，托福阅读复习就靠它啦~~
最近在攻托福，希望这本书能帮助我提高阅读水平！
全英文的方法分析，之前也看过全英文的托福阅读指导书，但是是中国人写的，不是很理想。这本毕竟是外国人写的，地道很多，思维方式分析角度也好很多，好好做，会有提高的.
适合用来熟悉托福听力的提醒和解题思路，适合刚接触考试者
买了真经的口语版当然要配套阅读啦，阅读就是要多练~
这本书还是不错，只是托福是机考，不要只做书本资料。还要多做tpo。省得到时候不能适应机考
书还没做，不知道怎样，不过感觉好不错，希望和托福真题难度相当
很好的托福参考书哦
真经系列值得仔细学习~
真经是纸质的，没有附光盘，无法上机操作，只有题目答案，没有翻译解析……学起来费劲……
一套配合使用，很不错，不知道会不会有综合的真经书
每章前有词汇预习，后有词汇复习，阅读与词汇结合，十分棒！
方法讲解重点突出，不罗嗦
没种题型后都紧跟练习，且由易到难，挫败感会小些，也比较利于掌握，后面才是成套的模拟题
还有一个文章organization的练习，可以做做
词汇练习多多，边读文章边学点儿单词吧，有益无害
个人体会，供参考~~~
看了一下，在阅读中复习词汇，很不错！！！
与试卷的难度相当，不过里面罗列出来的词汇还是挺值得重视的，收集多了，词汇量大了，自然会对做阅读题大有益处，
说实话我个人挺喜欢这本书的。
优点：
1.质量不错。印刷的很好 让人看起来很舒服。
2.这本书将题型分成了9个单元。没个单元最开始是单词preview 然后关于该题型的几道题。之后是3-4篇针对该题的文章 再之后是2篇模拟题，之后是一个完整的阅读+11道题目 再最后是关于单词的REVIEW。
但是总体来说 我个人觉得这种分类挺好的，而且虽然书后，但是题并不是很多，即使我坚持每天做一个UNIT也不感觉累。。
缺点：
1.因为我实力不是很强的那种，但是我都感觉这书挺简单的，而且阅读的文章也没什么太难的单词，比较简单。
此书是和同一系列写作一起买的，此本阅读纯英文版看着很舒服，一共9大题型，解析也都很详细，都有一定的仿真练习。对提升阅读能力很有帮助。现在正处于认真学习阶段了。
早就在等阅读和听力的了，因为之前那两本写作和口语写得很好，所以阅读和听力一定也是我所需要的
有词汇复习 很好
阅读历来是让我又爱又恨的一块儿！有时候这块儿做得好了，整个卷子就能拿很高的分数，但有时候却很糟糕、、
看过一些书，感觉有的书在讲解上有些模糊，这本儿感觉还凑活，因为还真能给点儿明确的指导啊！
从小学至今，我也学了很多年的英语了，其中不乏优质的书籍，同样，这本英语阅读书籍就提供了非常好的材料供我阅读。这本书质量不仅高，而且做工等等还比较好，纸质也看起来比较不错，很值得英语学习者去购买。感谢当当网提供此书。
阅读是基础！只有基础打牢了！才能让自己提高的更快！
这本阅读是整个系列中最厚的一本。
内容自然也不错。
才出来没多久啊 都是最新的题 难得
我的阅读就靠它了
阅读还好解决一些，毕竟做了好多年了，考高分啊！！1
按题型分的，挺不错
题量很大，但是讲解很少，适合上过培训课程的同学做练习用。
系列为什么不一起出来呢？？
为什么出来新书不通知我呢？
害得我到处下听力材料。
今天下雨，真巧，唯独这书没有包装，湿了啊
我刚刚拿到，老师推荐的，没说的
这本书没有什么汉语的解析，一开始看上去觉得很难，但仔细一看，觉得用英文解释得比翻译过来的看得还更能直观地表达意思，而且还一点都不罗嗦。
内容丰富~最重要的是可以拿来帮助自己记单词~
帮朋友买的书籍。很不错的复习资料。
如果预留的复习时间够多的话可以考虑买！这本书很适合打基础 相信如果能从头坐下去一定会有好结果的！
有针对性，适应各种题目的练习
可以帮助练习单词之类的
在背单词的时候顺便看这本书事半功倍~！
很不错的书，做练习很好~~~
之前在书店看到的，觉得不错，做练习很好，刚收到，准备好好用
全英文讲解，书的印刷质量很好
还没考试不知道效果如何，看上去是正版。
配套买的，自认为基础还行，买来冲刺一下。
印刷都很好，还在认真学习中。
内容很不错，只是题目再多一点就更好了
内容全面，类别清晰，会做出感觉来的
纸质啊内容啊包装啊什么的都很满意，值得购买！
对练习还是有用的啊 可以哈啊
书的质量好，寄的快！
感觉还可以，没做几页。。。。。
分类了，有用
好，很棒
书很不错~纸质很好
比较简单呢
希望能提高这块硬伤
书店没有现货,当当三天就给送达>还有折扣,非常赞!
一次买了三本书，这一本的质量很满意！纸张，封面质量看起来都是全新的，质量也很好！
排版好，也很有使用价值
书籍很好就是需要的！
应要求买的，开始时没有货，收藏了好久才买到的，挺好~
书还是值得一做 但是答案没有解释 而且个人感觉 有一些答案值得商榷
老师说只要做TPO就行了
因为这一本有较近的仓库存货，所以送到的非常快，但因为本人在外地所以今天才收到~包装严密结实，崭新的书非常喜欢，希望能因此在考托路上留下光辉的一段记忆。
界面和实际考场的一样，具体的题还没来得及看，以前买过一本蓝皮的也很好
东西很好，对于我有帮助
感觉适合初次接触T的人
很好，就是当时忘了要发票，请问能补吗？
是正版的，以后还来当当
书的质量很好 虽然有一定难度 但是适合记单词
不是真题，只是模拟，不过很不错。
挺厚的一本，没想到啊，不过要好好看~~~~
书上讲得很好，也提供了一些办法。可以借鉴，比如说找关键词啊 什么的 就特有帮助！但是还是得结合着自己的情况 多总结 多练 ！
才开始准备
分了不同的类型强化训练
希望做完以后有所提高！！
里面的题很好。
还好在需要的时候出现了
很好的书哈 厚厚的一本
有一定的难度，可能是我的基本功还不够，好多词感觉似曾相识，却又不完全了解其意思，不过里面提到的解题思路对我还是有很多帮助的
便宜，正版，好用。好用好用
已经去美国留学一年多了，这书游泳哦。
这本新托福阅读真经是与听力写作真题一个系列的，因此更加靠近真题高度。可以拿来与真题系列一起练习。沉浸在书中的优美文章当中，在接受精神与学术洗礼的同时，托福阅读能力也有所提高了~
有很多讲解以及基础部分的阅读，不能称之为真经，倒是比较适合刚开始学托福阅读的人
感觉里面题目还是蛮简单的，但是没有解释！不过托福阅读本来就简单！真经系列最好的应该就算口2了
首先纸张和印刷都很不错，这么多托福的书里面新航道是最值得推荐的一套书了
相比较听力真经和写作真经，阅读真经显得薄弱了一点，不过整体还是很实用的
每篇都有范例，不错的托福作文书。
买过口语真经2，很是不错，一直期待这一套书能出齐，终于等到了，期待～～～
对于不打算报班的同学我觉得可以买来做做。其实就是和新东方之类讲阅读的一样。告诉分成了什么词汇题插入题之类的，每个题提问方式怎么样应该怎么做。如果是报班的话就没有必要买了。阅读，做做TPO够了。
新航道的书都不错,希望价格能便宜一些.
原来是新航道的教学书 还是不错的
要是阅读多一点就好了
好久没做练习册了。现在的书可真沉。。简单翻看了一下，字体不是很大，但是空白的地方很多只有答案，没有解析三大部分，九个单元，各个方面都会练到，总体上来看不错
本想找到一些具体的方法，结果策略指点的内容实在太少了，但是练习确实循序渐进还不错。
分类详细，针对攻破不同的题型
