托福阅读11月份变脸托福ETS考试中心宣布针对托福阅读部分的改变
作为针对iBT托福阅读部分长度意见的回应，自2011年11月1日起，ETS已经将最多阅读文章的数目从5篇降到4篇。
考生要么会用60分钟时间完成3篇阅读和问题，或用80分钟时间完成4篇阅读和问题。
此外，阅读部分不再被分隔在不同的时间段。反而，现在所有的阅读文章和问题都会在一个完整的时间段同时出现。
此改变使得考生可在整个考试期间安排自己的进度，同时，还使得考生可在整个阅读部分进行前后查阅订正答案，或先跳过若干问题，稍后再做回答。（2011年11月）

ETS announces changes
to TOEFL® Reading section



In response to feedback about the length of the TOEFL® iBT reading section, ETS has reduced the maximum number of reading passages from five to four beginning on November 1, 2011.


Test-takers will have either 60 minutes to complete three reading passages and questions, or 80 minutes to complete four reading passages and questions.
In addition, the Reading section will no longer be divided into separately timed parts. Instead, all of the Reading passages and questions will be made available in a single block of time.


This change will allow candidates to pace themselves throughout the entire Reading section. It will also allow test-takers to navigate within the entire Reading section so they can skip questions, go back to review and change responses, or respond to questions that they may have skipped.
