托福TPO5综合写作阅读+听力原文+满分范文 【雷哥托福整理】 在备考托福写作的过程中，总是将托福的独立作文放在了第一位，但是实际上，综合作文也是占到了作文总分30分里面的50%的分值，不要等到分数出来了，才发现其实是综合作文的limited或者fair极大的影响了自己的分数。 考过的同学会发现托福综合作文分数不高，很大程度上是受我们听力实力的影响，我们很多托福考生的听力分数只有16分上下的时候，对于托福综合作文的听力妥妥的是束手无策，而且很多托福考生还感觉自己都听懂了，那也只能说明你听懂了大意，但是听力里面要的是每一个细节！请注意，是每一个细节！ 雷哥托福小托君给大家分享TPO1-33综合作文部分的阅读和听力文本全集与综合作文的满分作文，以及满分作文的解析。如果自己的托福综合作文分数如果可以很给力的话，就已经搞定了15分的分数，可极大地缓解托福独立作文的压力。文末教你如何使用这个材料。 TPO5 综合写作听力+阅读原文 Reading As early as the twelfth century A.D., the settlements of Chaco Canyon in New Mexico in the American Southwest were notable for their "great houses," massive stone buildings that contain hundreds of rooms and often stand three or four stories high. Archaeologists have been trying to determine how the buildings were used. While there is still no universally agreed upon explanation, there are three competing theories. One theory holds that the Chaco structures were purely residential, with each housing hundreds of people. Supporters of this theory have interpreted Chaco great houses as earlier versions of the architecture seen in more recent Southwest societies. In particular, the Chaco houses appear strikingly similar to the large, well-known "apartment buildings" at Taos, New Mexico, in which many people have been living for centuries.

托福新手备考攻略学员整理
托福新手备考攻略 内部学员冬冬整理，教师Chloe指导 像我这种学习不走心，却面临考托福的懒人来说，在准备考试之前，能有个严谨的备考攻略，那真是再好不过了！鉴于我自己的经历，在考前接受了大家众多的帮助，除了感谢大家的慷慨分享之外，我决定将这一优良传统延续下去。所以这一篇既是整合大家经验也是结合个人经验的攻略，希望它能惠及更多的和我一样的“烤鸭们”。BTW ，还要感谢“西雅图教育”在我备考一路走来为我提供的支持和鼓励。 这篇攻略以我自己备考的准备顺序分了三阶段，每一阶段都有侧重点，由易入难。第一阶段主要是背单词，研究OG，听力、作文入门；第二阶段主攻阅读和听力，兼顾作文和口语（入门），加强单词复习；第三阶段主攻口语和写作，兼顾复习阅读。最后是模考“受虐”阶段收尾。其中单词词汇的背诵是贯穿始终的，至死方休...各阶段具体安排参考如下： 第一阶段：背单词 准备材料：词汇书、OG 、longman综合教程、 词汇书： 前期“小红宝书”打底（45天突破版，词根+联想，涵盖8000单词） 后期“词以类记”巩固（适于有词汇基础的“烤鸭”，利于脑中浆糊分区巩固） 安排时间：3--4周，平均每天4小时 具体安排： 备考初期，词汇量要足够，循环背诵。词汇就是硬道理。缺乏词汇量有三大危害：第一，阅读考试中的词汇题会大量丢分。第二，听力无法有效记笔记，不但影响
听力成绩，还会影响综合写作和综合口语的发挥。第三，同义词贫乏，在写作和口语中不停重复同一个单词，降低了成绩。
对于fresh“烤鸭”来说，每天词汇量控制在2个list（200个左右）是比较合适的。最重要的还是不断重复复习学过的单词，杨鹏的循环记忆法比较值得借鉴。每天闲暇、坐车途中推荐“百词斩”软件,一遍一遍不厌其烦的给你重复不会的单词，直到你忍无可忍将它拖出去斩了。在单词积累过程中，复习比初背更重要。即使某天没有时间背多少新单词，也要确保复习任务的时间，尤其是在单词的第二、三次刺激加固复习的重要阶段。一般来说，初背200个单词每天就要花大致2小时。复习时间上，复习新背过不久的单词每个list（100个左右）大致花费20-30分钟不等。复习已经看过3、4遍的 list，大致花费5-10分钟不等。所以单词上每天花费的时间其实并不少，是这一阶段需投入最多精力的部分。 其次就是OG(OFFICAL GUIDE): OG就是ETS考试中心官方给出的应试指南，和托福实战考试的难度非常接近。OG是非常标准的向你介绍TOEFL的题型.所以OG 应该是大家在考试复习时候的必备的材料。开始主要是看OG上解释说明的部分，尤其是对于各个单项的介绍。通过看OG了解TOEFL考试的概况。利用里面ETS 提供的较为丰富的作文样本、口语录音样本，配合主观题的评分标准，自己研究具体评分细则，从样本里找出扣分的原因。这种分析能对主观题的解答能奠定良好的基础。 首先在做题的时候，把所有做着别扭、不能确定的题都画上记号，之后重点分析错题和这些画上记号的题，回忆做的时候自己的思路，再仔细理解正确答案中体现出来的思路。基本上，除了单词题没有太多诀窍可言外（单词题必须要靠基本功做），其他内容大多可以感悟到ETS的出题思路。OG里很重要的一点是有官方的题目类型分析，而一般来讲我们错的题都会集中落在其中的某几类上（例如代词指代、句子作用、归纳总结题等），这个时候仔细揣摩正确答案的思路就很重要。 再次是初级听力、写作范文“冰冻三尺，非一日之寒”，说的就是听力和写作能力方面的提升。初级阶段就听比较简单的材料，“TED公开课”是我比较推荐的APP，全球名校课堂或名人限时18分钟演讲，涉及各个领域，对自己不管是知识还是听力的提升都是非常有效的。教材可以选择

新托福模考Tpo29 独立写作范文
新托福模考Tpo29 独立写作范文 Tpoic: to improve the quality in education, universities should spend more money on salaries for university professors. As the qualities of education in the universities become unconvincing than before, a increasing amount people nowadays are concernin whether there exist space for universities to improve. The Most part of them tend to believe that in order to improve the qualities of the education, universities should spend more money on professors’ salaries while others state that the universities should spend it on other fields. Therefore, the controversial issue has been engaged that which field should be invested in to improve the qualities of education makes a widely debate. However, as for me, there is no aoubt that the universities should give the priority to vacational training and recruiting.for news. It is universally acknowledged that recruting the new professors to the universities can improve the qualities of the education. In majority of the universities, many professors are in mid-age or even old. Some of them reluctant to learn or acquire new thing anymore because they think they were good enough. Recruting more new professors not only can help and motivate older professors to learn sonrthing new but also can enhance their educational power among other universities. As you can predict, it is unsviodable that it will bring a virtuous compotition between the younger professors and older professors. Youngers can drow on older’ experience and older can contact and learn new concepts, which can improve the qualities of education entirely. No one could disavow that holding the regular vacational training for professors can prominently improve the educational qualities. In the contemporary socirty, the knowledge is changing in a stagger rate and many professors can not obtain the lastest knowledge to refresh themselves, which definitely lead the qualities of education decline because the students can not absorb something new. Therefore, the best way to improve the qualities of education is that let professors acquire the lastest knowaedge in time- receiving the vacational training regularly. After recharging, professors can instill a great load of new things to students, which can give a competitive eage both for professors and students and it also can make a huge progess in the qualities of education as well. In conclusion, though improving the salariesof the professors is a considerable choice, there is no better way to hold regular vacational training and recruit new professors than to improve the qualities of education in the universities.

托福iBT黄金口语80题(答案版)
1. 说出你认为对你最有用的一本书，并解释原因。 The most important book for me is my undergraduate major textbook which is called marketing. Because as we all know that marketing is a kind of major which cuts across the boundaries of many different disciplines, so it broadens my knowledge scope, such as the aspects of advertising and trade. On the other hand, well, a plenty of cases are included in this book, in addition, many definitions can explained very acceptable so it definitely helps me to get a deeply understanding of my major. 2. 电视对于现代社会有正面作用还是负面作用，选择其中之一并解释原因。 As far as I am concerned, television has more positive effects towards the modern society than its negative sides. First, from the news broadcasting in the television, we can know what is happening in the outside world even without stepping out our living room with television in it. And second, watching television with family members after supper is a good way to relax after a hard day’s work. What’s more, its visual effect makes people feel less stressed and has a great influence on the way people think and talk. 3. Describe the most important decision that you made in your life. Personally speaking, the most important decision that I have made in my life is to choose marketing as my major in university, as we all know that marketing is a kind of major which cuts across the boundaries of many different disciplines, so in order to learn it well, I have to learn various subjects such as international trade and brand management. What’s more, i’m little timidity in front of challenges such as doing the presentation and negotiation, I guess most of the people may have this kind of stage fright, So marketing is a major can definitely anneal myself. During the studies in university, I learned hard and practiced as much as I could. Finally, I got the highest GPA in my grade. 4. Do you think the high school should teach music and art as other basic science? I bet no one could deny that the main responsibility of a high school is to help its students develop various abilities not only the academic abilities. In other words, music and art should be viewed as basic science. Firstly, It is very important to get fully educated for students. Music and art can help the students appreciate beauty in our lives, and that will broaden knowledge scope of students. Also Music and art do good to students’ mentality. A sound mentality is essential to the student’s future.
五大托福听力练习软件的简单介绍
五大托福听力练习软件的简单介绍 五大托福听力练习软件由易到难为langman, delta, Kaplan, barron，TPO，分别如下：托福模考软件之Langman Langman界面还好,但是题实在是太简单了。Kaplan软件做的很好,可以录音,口语还有范答,用起来也很顺手。它的阅读文章难度比较大,因为全是文科文章。比如历史文化地理什么的,很适合理科生折磨自己,不过题不难。听力语速长度都还好吧,题简单。因此考生可以根据自己的实际英语水平，决定是否需要联系练习，或者是作为初练。 托福模考软件之delta 托福delta分为蓝和红两本书，据说题目丰富，难度比较适宜，适合考生作为前期的强化训练用。 托福模考软件之Kaplan 目前Kaplan 系列有2个版本，2008版和2009新版，但是，通过使用2本书作为参考后发现，这两本书在模考方面没有大的更新，和在网络上流传的版本是一模一样的。同时，该模考软件的阅读部分有乱码，听力部分比正常考试时间显得要短一些，而且无法通过打开光盘进行重听题目。口语部分的第1、2题出的和考试基本接近，但是在第四题的时候，reading 里的专业概念和具体的例子关联性不大，和考试有一定偏差。并且听力的第5题有时听起来过于啰嗦，第六题比较接近真实考试。写作部分的综合写作和考试的相似性不大。该书建议有时间就做，没时间可以放弃。 托福模考软件之barron Barron是最难的,而且带加试。听力加个加试就是1个半小时,阅读更长。barron难主要体现在它的长度上,阅读还好,听力比较难,有的lecture到10分钟了都。不过题不是很难。
托福模考软件之TPO TPO界面和真正考试是一样的,题比较简单，但针对性较强，听力、写作、阅读、口语每部分都要好好利用。其中流传于这样的一句话，TPO在手，托福考试不怕，虽然有点夸张，但是其重要性还是可见一斑。大家常用的TPO网站有TPO小站，但需要下载，还有些BUG。有一个托福备考的网站叫托福考满分，可以在线进行TPO练习和精听，无需下载。练习的时候可以先做完题目，然后使用“精听全文”功能，吃透整篇文章。精听还可以使用1.5倍数练习，精听练习是熟悉托福听力文章结构与考点很好的练习办法，这里不多说了，大家可以上网找找相关的练习技巧。老托Part C和SSS也挺全的。缺点是不能装在手机上使用，如果出手机版就更赞了。 以上就是五大托福听力练习软件的简单介绍了，介绍中有一些个人主观因素在内，仅供大家参考。因此要想客观的了解这些软件的实际利弊，还需要考生自身去实践才能得出适合自己的结论。 水军回复：

托福模拟考试及答案解析(19)
托福模拟考试及答案解析（19） (1~6/共48题)阅读理解 The Migration of the Indigo Bunting The indigo bunting is a small sparrow-like bird noted for its vivid blue plumage. It is typically found living in forested areas alongside rivers and streams as well as at the edges of fields and on paths going through forests where trees have been cleared for power lines. In these places, the female of the species builds a nest in low brush located no more than a meter above the ground. Zoologists have carefully studied the migration patterns followed by the indigo bunting. It mostly dwells in the eastern parts of Canada and the United States during the summer breeding season, and it flies south to Mexico as well as to Central America and the northern part of South America during the winter months. While it was once confined to the northern region of the United States in the summer, its territory expanded several decades ago. For instance, in the 1970s, the indigo bunting was discovered living in eastern Canada during the summer months for the first time. Zoologists believe that this change in its range was a result of Canada having warmer summers than it had enjoyed in previous decades. The total amount of distance covered by the indigo bunting when it migrates is approximately 1,900 kilometers each way. The bird usually migrates in a straight path due south. Those animals living in the east move to wintering grounds in the east while those residing in the west migrate to wintering grounds in the west. Intensive studies of the indigo bunting have proven that it has excellent navigational skills, which permit the bird to migrate at night since it can use the stars for guidance. Experiments with the indigo bunting have showed that it has an internal system allowing it to adjust its flight path as the angles of the stars change while they move through the night sky. This ability allows the bird to fly south to the same wintering grounds every year and then to return north to the same summering grounds. *migration: the movement from one place to another, often on a temporary basis *navigational: relating to the planning or guiding of a course 第1题 According to paragraph 2, which of the following is NOT true of the indigo bunting? ______ A.Some of the behavior that it exhibits is thought to have been affected by warm weather. B.The area in which it dwells in the summertime has gotten larger in recent decades. C.It breeds in regions that are located both in the United States and Mexico. D.Its behavior concerning where it flies throughout the year has been studied by scientists. 第2题 In paragraph 3, all of the following questions are answered EXCEPT: ______ A.What experiments did scientists do to learn about the indigo bunting's navigational skills? B.Why is the indigo bunting able to migrate to new lands by flying at night? C.What is the average distance the indigo bunting flies when it migrates? D.How can the indigo bunting manage to fly to the same places on an annual basis? 第3题 Vocabulary ______=bright 第4题 ______= around; about 第5题
托福三个月复习计划.doc
托福三个月复习计划 很多人对托福考试的时间很迷茫, 下面说说三个月复习计划吧，下面我为你整理了，希望对你有帮助。 篇一 STEP 1：在整个托福复习计划之前，安排一周到三周不等的时间用来背托福单词(点击下载)。一提到背单词，很多同学都会皱眉头，觉得单词很难背，而且背了容易忘，另外一些同学则苦于无法记住单词的拼写或者发音，但是实际上我们在背单词的过程中往往是自己给自己的压力过大。我们不妨在背诵的过程中给单词的重要性进行评级。例如，accordion，意思为"手风琴";adobe，意思为"土坯，砖"等词只是在过去的托福考试中出现过一次，并且作为特殊名词，一般在写作，听力中很难遇到，即便是在阅读中遇到，往往也不影响解题。也可以参考词频字典来分配重要性，这样可以在最短时间内获得最大效果。这一阶段的目标即是大量反复看单词，达到"眼熟"的目标即可。 STEP 2：第二步骤，大概要安排出三周左右的时间来大量的做托福阅读练习。我们把阅读安排在整体复习计划之前主要有两个原因，其一是因为阅读是我们中国学生最熟悉的科目，比价容易入手而且进步快，在初期可以建立较强的自信心;其二是因为托福单词中有接近四分之三的单词直接来源于阅读文章，并且服务于阅读，通过大量做托福阅读，可以最好的巩固前段时间背托福单词的成果，保证不会遗忘。
做托福阅读时要注意三点： 1. 不要在做托福阅读的同时查字典或者文曲星，因为这样会打乱阅读的思路。考场上我们也不可能认识所有的单词，所以要锻炼在有陌生词汇的情况下通过上下文来处理生词。可以做完所有题目之后再通过查字典来解决生词。 2. 做托福阅读的时候一定要计时间，很多同学自己不计时做练习的时候正确率很高，但是到了考场上，由于时间压力而导致错误频出或者未能完成题目的情况也很多。所以平时就要练习在有时间压力的情况下完成任务，并同时争取提高准确率。 3. 托福阅读是最好的写作模版，一篇文章做完了不要只对一对答案就了事，把每一段的核心句都仔细看一看，如果有很好的句型结构，可以自己进行学习模仿。为后面复习写作奠定基础。 STEP 3：接下来复习托福听力。听力的复习最根本的方法还是练习听写。但是听写之后的处理方法能够看出复习的效率差别。很多同学听写完之后就万事大吉了，将材料扔在一边。其实，我们在听写完成后，不要将听写材料扔掉，而是要跟着音频朗读几遍，可以练习发音，效果尤为好。因为刚才的听写阶段使得我们对每一个词的发音都很熟悉了，然后再进行朗读，这样提高就比较快。接下来，将听写材料收起来，在不对照材料的情况下用口语对刚才听写的小段子进行复述，则可以迅速提高口语能力。而且在复述的时候会自觉地去使用刚刚在听写中学到的新句型和词汇，这个过程是自然而然的，效率很高。听说不分家嘛! STEP 4：练习托福写作。写作可练习的题目很多，但是不可能全部都写
小站教育托福培训新托福写作范文欣赏
小站教育托福培训新托福写作范文欣赏 我们相信，很多考生在托福写作考试之前会看很多优秀范文，也会准备很多写作模板，但是从实际上看，模板虽然很重要，但它不应就是万能的。所以说只有很好的掌握了优秀写作方法才能正确应对考试。下面就跟我们TPO小站一起来看看这篇有些的托福写作范文吧！ TOPIC: Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? 20years from now, people will have more leisure time than they do now. Do you think that in 2034 working people will have three days off every week? I believe so and I have good reasons to support my opinion. In the coming 20 years, science and technology would have developed by huge leaps and bounds that governments and labor unions will pay more attention to people’s leisure time and the awareness for the relaxation of the general public is expected to rise. The first point I want to mention is that as science and technology develops, the likelihood of inventing inexpensive and user-friendly automatons is large. With an automaton, people can leave daily chores like cleaning, washing, and cooking to it and use the large portion of the day watching TV, playing games, or engaging in outdoor activities. Now I spend nearly 2 hours a day preparing my family’s decent meals. I believe that 20 years later I can play with my grandchildren and let a small robot cook for us. Many people may contradict my statement by saying that the saved time should instead be used for study and work. While this may be the truth, it is their choice. We can choose to use the saved time to relax instead of allocating it to study and work. Second, the role of the government in increasing the general publics’free time should not be ignored. To maintain a prosperous and stable society, the government must prioritize their citizens’ welfare. Since having more days off is what everyone likes, the government will gradually increase people’s leisure time. Many people would argue that productivity may decrease if people have extra one day off. But this worry does not hold water, for only a relaxed mind can function well. 30 years ago, people in China had only 1 day off every week. Now we have two days off per week. So it is reasonable to predict that 20 years later, we will enjoy three days off without posing any harm to our productivity. Last but not least, people increasingly feel that there is a strong correlation between relaxation and health. So they will take themselves away from work in the hope of living a care-free life often. I always hear people say that many individuals spend the first 30 years of their life working, resulting in a deteriorated physical health. As a result, they have to use money to treat their illnesses in the later decades of their lives, which is really costly. Now many people understand that if we spend more time relaxing our body and mind, we are expected to live a longer and happier life. So with the increase of awareness, it is justifiable to say that people have a great chance to live a relaxed life in 20 years time. In conclusion, I see an optimistic future. Our children, our grandchildren, and even we will not suffer as much pressure as people do nowadays. This is because of the combined effects of science, the government, and the general public themselves.(508)
