　　阅读(词汇题 Vocabulary)

　　托福阅读的词汇题大约占比为1/5，属于易得分的比掌握题型。除了对应各个话题的词汇量需要有所准备之外，联系上下文推理词汇含义也是此类题目的重点技能。 此类题型的常见描述为： The word … in the passage is closest in meaning to… 比如下面这道题： The word "trivial" in the passage is closest in meaning to

　　similar

　　inaccurate

　　small

　　significant

　　对应到原文的段落为： By noting that individual floods deposit only thin layers of sediment, he was able to conclude that the Nile Delta had taken many thousands of years to build up. More important than the amount of time Herodotus computed, which turns out to be trivial compared with the age of Earth, was thenotion that one could estimate ages of geologic features by determining rates of the processes responsible for such features, and then assuming the rates to be roughly constant over time. 通过第一句话我们可以得知，Nile Delta的形成需要thousands of years。在后面一句话中，紧接着trivial有一个短语compared with…，证明此处存在对比对象。通过分析可以得知，对比对象为Herodotus计算的时间 vs. 地球形成的时间。如果把第一句话中的thousands of years作为参考，Herodotus计算的时间应该远远小于地球形成的时间，所以答案应为C，即trivial的意思更接近small。
