【小托福考试】小托福邮件信函题材考试题型解析！

　　整个小托福阅读题材分为学术类和非学术类，学术类的文章类型包括说明文和议论文，难度稍大，非学术类文章类型包括邮件信函，通知公告和新闻故事，难度偏易。今天跟小伙伴分享的是邮件信函(E-mail and Letter)的特点和解题思路。
　　小托福阅读理解部分的邮件信函文章篇幅比语言形式与含义部分的信件类的文章略长，文章逻辑关系较为复杂，语言形式表达更加正式，但是整体表现形式相同。邮件信函常常带有一点公文性质，主要包括邀请函，电子邮件，信件等，因为邮件信函类文章的难度相对较小，所以该类文章一般是阅读理解部分的前一两篇文章，每篇文章对应4~6道问题不等。邮件信函类文章与学生的校园生活息息相关，是一种非常实用的文章类型，如中学生夏令营的邀请函，学校活动的通知等。每题的开头部分是对该题的简单介绍：
　　Question1-4are about the following e-mail.
　　Question5-9are about the following invitation.
　　接下来我们针对这种类型的文章体裁做一个简单的举例说明：
　　Question1-6 areabout the following letter.
　　DearParents,
　　Wehave almost arrived at the end of another school year. The last day of schoolis going to be held on Friday, May 15. All students should have their lockerscleaned out no later than 3:30 on that day.
　　Thisyear, we have accomplished a number of our objectives. Several of our studentsreceived academic awards, such as for winning the city spelling bee (TeresaKelly), winning the state math competition (Rohit Apu), and winning the countyessay-writing contest (Julie Johnston). Furthermore, our athletic teams all hadwinning records, and the girls, volleyball team, led by Coach Alice Stevens, managedto come in second place in the entire state.
　　Let meremind you as summer begins that all returning students must do their summerreading. Enclosed with this letter is a list of the books from which eachstudent must choose. All students have to read at least five books and writeshort reports on them during the summer.
　　Allowme to close by noting that I am always willing to meet with you and to addressany of your concerns about the school. You can feel free to swing by and chatwith me anytime.
　　Sincerely,

　　(D) Ithas a large library available to students.
　　答案解析
　　那么粗略浏览这篇文章可以得知这是一篇在校学生写给父母总结自己在学校的一些活动和生活情境的内容的信件，那么在这个问题中我们可以从题干中了解关于送school的，第二段就是主要描写学校活动的包括state math competition，county essay-writing contest，volleyball team等，这一段可以看出在学校我们赢得了一些运动和其他的社团活动的奖项不难看出A才是正确的答案：It has a successful athletics program.
