在托福阅读备考中，我们要是了解常见的错误选项类型对我们的考试是很有帮助的。下面澎博英语专业的老师们为大家分享托福阅读常见的三类错误选项，赶紧了解吧。

　　一、编造事实

　　这类选项其内容在原文中并没有提到，也不能从原文中推断出来，它们往往将原文中的信息和原文中没有的信息糅合在一起来迷惑考生，或者通过改动文中的关键语句使选项与原文信息大相径庭，形成陷阱。例如：

　　According to paragraph 4, which of the following is true about materials used in the construction of buildings? (OG3-Architecture)

　　A. Because new building materials are hard to find, construction techniques have changed very little from past generations.

　　B. The availability of suitable building materials no longer limits the types of structures that may be built.

　　C. The primary building materials that are available today are wood, stone, and brick.

　　D. Architects in earlier times did not have enough building materials to enclose large spaces.

　　这道题中的D选项就犯了编造事实的错误。原文中的相关信息是“In earlier times it was necessary to design structural systems suitable for the materials that were available, such as wood, stone, brick.”，说的是早期的建筑材料种类少，只有木材、石头和砖块等，并没有说数量上是否充足，因此D选项是错误的。

　　二、改变范围

　　这类选项其内容和原文内容在范围上是不一致的。它们往往将原文内容的范围随意扩大或缩小，即以偏概全或者以一般代替个别，从而形成陷阱。例如：

　　8. All of following are mentioned in paragraph 5 as possible reasons that led societies to develop theater EXCEPT(TPO1-The Origins of Theater)

　　A. Theater allows people to face that they are afraid of.

　　B. Theater gives an opportunity to imagine a better reality.

　　C. Theater is a way to enjoy imitating other people.

　　D. Theater provides people the opportunity to better understand the human mind.

　　这道题中D选项在原文中的相关信息是“The theater, then, is one tool whereby people define and understand their world or escape from unpleasant realities.” 意思是：“所以，戏剧成为了一种帮助人们认识和理解这个世界，或是帮助人们逃避不满现实的工具。”文中说的是“understand their world”，但D选项则把范围缩小成了“understand the human mind”，因此这道题的答案就是D选项(注意这道题是一个“Except”题)。

　　三、偏离题意

　　这类选项往往是不符合题干的，也就是我们所说的“答非所问”。它们很有可能就是原文的内容或者可以从原文中推断出来，其本身是正确的，所以具有很大的干扰性。如果考生审题不认真，就很容易误选。例如：

　　According to paragraph 6, what is the main disadvantage of the proposed plans to transport river water to the High Plains?(TPO3-Depletion of the Ogallala Aquifer)

　　A. The rivers cannot supply sufficient water for the farmer’s needs.

　　B. Increased irrigation costs would make the products too expensive.

　　C. The costs of using capillary water for irrigation will increase.

　　D. Farmers will be forced to switch to genetically engineered crops.

　　根据题干中的 “disadvantage”和“transport river water”定位到原文中的“Unfortunately, the cost of water obtained through any of these schemes would increase pumping costs at least tenfold, making the cost of irrigated agricultural products from the region uncompetitive on the national and international markets.” 意思是：“不幸的是，通过以上任何一种方式(通过运河或管道输送河水)获得水资源都会将抽水的成本提高10倍以上，进而导致这一地区的灌溉农产品成本在国内和国际市场上失去竞争力。”可见解决成本问题是从河流引水这样的解决方案的关键所在，灌溉成本增加导致农产品在国内及国际市场上的竞争力下降。C选项提到了灌溉成本，但题干说的是引入河水的解决方案的缺陷，因此C选项是不正确的。
