2012 年全球留学考试新政、考情据美国门户报告统计,2010-2011学年,美国大学院校国际学生数量高达72万,其中中国留美学生占据15.7万,而中国整体出国留学人数也高达33万人之多, 要知道,这仅仅只是浩浩荡荡的国际留学生大军的一部分。

面对每年人数激增的国际申请生,为了从中筛选到精英,保证教育质量,海外各国、各大院校陆续抬高语言录取门槛。比如:新西兰教育部将对国际学生的英语能力进行审查,拟停止让学校招录英语能力没有达到标准的国际学生。美国有些学校开始陆续取消双录取OFFER语言不过关的学生不能再抱着侥幸的心理。而英国方面则要求就读本科以上学位课程,最低雅思要求为 5.5分且各单项不低于5.5 分。

申请海外名校,语言成绩从来都是首要且最重要的录取标准之一。所谓考场如战场,也讲究知己知彼百战不殆。为此,新通外语采访了出国考试业的权威人士、知名教师,独家发布2012年全球留学考试的最新动向。

托福TOEFL--

采访对象:赵平江,ETS官方授权优秀培训师、悉尼大学教育学硕士,新通外语分校校长。

新政发布:从2012年开始,考生必须在开考前30分钟进入考

场,迟到的考生一律禁止入场。此外,对考生身份审核、考场纪律等要求将更为严格,考生必须持大陆居民身份证参加考试,且最好为二代身份证。考生如在考试期间被发现有替考、使用电子通讯设备、夹带等违规行为,将受到取消成绩、禁止将来报考托福考试等处罚。

再来说说让人振奋的好消息,澳洲签证、英国签证均正式认可托福成绩。另外,除了申请学校之外,考生还可以用托福成绩申请在英国工作或定居。

考情变动:最大的变动莫过于已经在实施的阅读改革,具体有两块:一、缩短考试时长,加试题由以前的2篇变为1篇,即60分钟做完3篇阅读,或80分钟做完4篇阅读。二、不再单篇独立计时,考生可以自由分配阅读时间,还可以先跳过问题重新阅读内容并进行答案修改,又或者回答之前跳过的问题。总体来看,阅读难度有所下降,单科高分的赢面较大。不过先不要庆幸,因为听力科目难度略有加大,对话变长。

考位追踪:据官方统计,2012年共安排了35场考试,近百个考

点。上半年需求相对较淡,下半年考位比较紧张。虽说美国教育考试中心从暑期到10月份会释放更多考位,但仍然建议考生提前三个月以上报名,没把握一次性考出好成绩的考生不妨抢占两个以上考位。

--雅思ILETS--

采访对象:顾立峰,原浙江省雅思考试中心、英文化协会雅思考务合作负责人,新通外语学校校长。

新政发布:今年1月4日起,英国文化协会将全面升级雅思考试考后服务,考生可在网上申请成绩寄送等多项服务,具体措施包括在线申请额外成绩单寄送,在线申请成绩复议,通过第三方支付平台在线支付考后服务费,在线查询各项服务进展状态、延长成绩单免费申请等,详见雅思官网。

考情变动:最近,雅思界盛传中国内地今年将实现雅思机考模

式,对这个有待核实的传闻,部分"烤鸭们"开始自乱阵脚,给大家吃颗定心丸,剑桥大学ESOL中心雅思试卷研制人之一AndyBlackhurst 明确表示:"雅思在2年内不可能开始机考,即使2年后开始机考,也会实行笔机共行。"也就是笔考、机考两种模式由考生自主选择。

Andy还透露:"每年的雅思新题在5、6月开始研发,经过测试和修改

后,一般在第二年5月前投放使用。”不过,奉劝各位”烤鸭"不要押宝在所谓的"旧题日",因为雅思题库极其庞大,碰到旧题的机率非常少,还不如把心思都放在备考上。

考位追踪:据官方统计,2012年全年共安排了47个考试日期, 在39个考点举行。建议考生提前一个月以上报名。值得一提的是,考生可一次性报名参加两场考试。

--SAT--

采访对象:刘鸣,北美各大院校访问学者、新通外语SAT资深教师。

新政发布:最新规定,SAT考试亚洲国际博览馆(香港)考场将不再允许考生在考试当天申请转考和候补,并很可能进一步扩展到其他考点。今年参加考试的考生,报名时填写名字要与通行证或护照的名字一致,否则不能进入考场。考生若在考前发现报名信息错误可及时联系相关部门更改,以确保按时参加考试。

考位追踪:上半年的1月、3月、5月、6月都安排了一次SAT

考试。

--AP--

采访对象:朱奕霏,美国桥港大学MBA新通外语AP优秀教师。

考情变动:今年2月起,美国大学委员会颁布了针对AP生物学课程、美国历史课程的大规模修订,将大幅删减考试涵盖的知识点,并且首次推出课程大纲。而这些将在2012至2013学年生效的变化仅是整个AP课程改革的一部分,因为美国大学委员会启动了AP课程修订计划,预计到2014至2015学年,学生将按新大纲进行测试,"新AP"的宗旨是:重课程、轻测试。

考位追踪:今年AP考试将于5月7日至5月18日举行,为期两周。2月7日至2月24日为报名时间,2月24日后考点将不再接受和更改考生报考信息。浙江省AP考点在浙江教育考试服务中心。

--GRE 、GMAT--

采访对象:邵恩珉,美国威斯康辛大学教授、新通外语GMA资

深教师

GRE (美国研究生入学考试):近日,美国教育考试服务中心放出了今年上半年GRE欲考试的考位,约每月一次,首场考试安排在1月12

日,考位非常充裕。

GMAT (商科研究生入学考试):今年6月5日起,GMA将实施改革,取消一篇作文,同时增加"综合推理"部分,该部分包括12个考题,单独计分,考查的是商学院所看重的分析图表、数据与综合推理能力。其余保持不变。值得一提的是,2012年6月5日之前考出的GMA■分数同样也可以用来申请院校。目前在北京、上海、广州,每周二、三、四均会举办考试,考生每个月可参加一次考试。

--DAF 、TCF--

采访对象:金赢,英国诺丁汉大学硕士、新通外语资深教师,精通多门语言。

1. The Advantages and Disadvantages of Private Tutoring Private tutoring is “in”. A recent investigation shows that about 80 percent of pupils have private tutors. While private tutoring has both advantages and disadvantages, I feel that we should give more thoughts to its negative effects. Such a popular practice clearly indicates that people are attaching greater importance to education. Many parents either missed the chance of obtaining a good education themselves or have been too busy with their own business. When their children meet with difficulties in study, they are helpless. Private tutoring seems to be the only solution. As private tutoring is usually given on the one-to-one basis, the teacher knows the strong points as well as the weak points of the pupil; and teaching is, in most cases, directly to the point. Private tutoring benefits a lot of pupils, indeed. While on the other hand, private tutoring has its own disadvantages. For one thing, it takes up so much of the pupil’s time that they can hardly find enough time for rest or entertainment, which is essential for kids’ physical and mental health. Besides, some teachers, busy “shuttling” from one family to another, tend to neglect their regular teaching duties. What is more, some teachers are eager to help pupils do well on the test, offering the so-called tips for test-taking instead of helping them acquire

As the economy and technology develop at an incredible speed in today’s society, there are an increasing number of people believing that the most important problems affecting our society today could be solved within our lifetime. In my view, however, this is out of the question and the three most significant problems affecting the society, namely war, environmental destruction and disease, will still influence us and may not be entirely resolved forever. War is a problem afflicting humans since they took into being in the first place. Wars take place when different countries have conflicting benefits, which is unlikely to be eliminated as long as the boundaries between countries still exist. For instance, in the Middle East where water is extremely scarce, many countries are in conflict in contention for water resources. Since every country acts for the sake of its own benefit, it seems that people in the region are incapable of living together in harmony. Eternal world peace, therefore, is unlikely to be achieved in our lifetime. Environmental destruction emerged not long before but it is becoming increasingly severe and can not be ignored. With the large-scale utilization of fossil fuels and rapid development of industry, huge amounts of pollutants are being produced, contaminating the environment to a large degree. The disposal of these pollutants being a tough task, it is hardly possible that we can completely get rid of them within a short period of time. Furthermore, even if we can come up with optimal methods for dealing with these substances, there remains the problem that these methods may cost too much and obstruct the development of economy. Last but not least, the well-being of people around the world is threatened by a variety of diseases, ranging from AIDS to cancer, the cures for which have not been discovered yet. Diseases set off panics among humans, affect their normal life and leave people badly off with the high medical expenses. There are thousands of scientists devoting themselves to finding cure for diseases, but new types of diseases keep emerging and there is no eliminating all of them. In summary, the problems with the most significance today are going to be passed on to our offspring. To eliminate these problems thoroughly, there is still a long way to go.

托福TPO48独立写作题目文本+满分范文

为了帮助大家高效备考托福,为大家带来托福TPO48独立写作题目文本+满分范文,希望 对大家备考有所帮助。 托福TPO48独立写作题目原文: Do you agree or disagree with the following statement?Because modern life is very complex, it is essential for young people to have the ability to plan and https://www.360docs.net/doc/f613356332.html,e specific reasons and examples to support your answer. 托福TPO48独立写作满分范文1: Increasingly sophisticated technology, explosive information and intricate international relationships all work together to complicate the modern life, which makes our modern people somewhat overwhelmed. Individuals whoever want to have a better control of one’s life must equip themselves with some essential skills or abilities. Planning and organizing, which embodies the skill of anticipating, influencing, and controlling, in my view, is becoming gradually important in coping with today’s complication especially for the young who are always the most passionate but also with less self-control. First of all, planning helps keep one on course in achieving goals and crystallize objectives. Young people always possess some grand dreams which may take years to accomplish. Planning ahead, on the one hand, could effectively put one on the right track thus prevent energy from being scattered or wasted. A survey conducted by experts from Oxford University shows that over 90% of elites and enterprisers had precise objects and made plans for decades later at very young age. Like Bill Gates, one of the most prominent persons I have ever seen, discontinued their studies since he was definite aware of what he should do in order to become the leader of IT field. On the other hand, plans, which are organized step by step, could turn the ultimate goals into several achievable ones. With achievable objective achieved one by one, the ultimate goal will finally be attained. Besides, planning and organizing help to promise one’s best performance in most occasions. Panning means trying to anticipate all the possibilities and arrange things in a scientific order. It clearly tells people what to do currently and what should do the next, which prevents disorder or chaos. Thus, people may feel assured and will be with less stress. For example, a student who sticks to a study plan is less likely to be nervous thus will be more likely to have better performance than those who crams for tests. Today youngsters are exposed with fierce competitions but also abundant opportunities. Good performance is key to hold these opportunities in hand. It is undeniable that our society changes at such a quick pace that we cannot plan everything in previous. But this by no means implies that the ability is not important. Without a plan, complex things will only get more complicated. Abraham Lincoln reportedly once said, “If I had 60 minutes to cut down a tree, I would spend 40 minutes sharpening the ax and 20 minutes cutting it down.” Planning is just like “sharpening the ax”, which will no doubt facilitate a task easy done. All in all, though the ability of planning and organizing may not be omnipotent for people

In some universities students’ rating has even become the only source of information on teaching effectiveness.. This, however, has caused great controversy. Some are in favor of the rating system, They hold that since students attend t he teachers’ classes every day, they should have their opinion about their teachers’ effectiveness. Others, on the contrary, are strongly against it. They believe that there is much more to teaching than what is shown on students’ rating forms. Students sh ould not be expected to judge whether the materials they use are up to date or how well the teacher knows about the subject. These judgments require professional knowledge, which is best left for the teachers’ colleagues. I think students’ rating of their teachers is necessary, but it should be conducted in a way that can really shed meaningful light on teachers’ performance. Instead of rating the teachers’ knowledge on the subject, students should be asked to estimate what they have learned in a course, an d to report on such things as a teacher’s ability to communicate with students, his or her relationship with students, and his or her ability to arouse students’ interest in the subject. 点评:越来越多的高校采取让学生给老师打分的形式来了解教学反馈,并以此作为促进教学质量的有效手段。对此做法,管理部门及教学双方褒贬不一,看法迥异。本范例题为校园生活热议话题,值得关注。

托福独立写作满分范文30篇

托福写作辅导:托福考试满分作文欣赏(1) Which one do you prefer, to solve problems on your own experience and knowledge, or to ask others for advice? As knowledge and experience serve as twim towers in problem-solving, one is often presented with two major paths that pave the way for final fulfillment, eitther to wrack his brain, just like what happened to Neuton, siiting for many years under an apple tree and eventually figuring out ond of the greatest universal rules that govern the whole globe, or to seek for others ’ widsom through their advice, just as in the case of Benjinin Franklin, gathering great minds under one roof and then establishing a most world-renown libray. Both ways work. When a practical goal is involved, however, Benjimin Franklin may best be regareded as a role model in this respect and asking people for advice often turn out to be the prime alternative. Experience and knowledge borrowed or learned from others’ advice contribute greatly to effectiveness and effeciency for a goal-accomplishment. Not all experience and knowledge related to problem-solving can be obtained by personal effort alone due to limitations of mind and capabilities of each individual. A single thought in someone’s mind is, more often than not, far less shining compared with group ’s wisdom. That explains the famous old saying that one sees further when standing upon the shoulders’ of past great giants; that explains why a great leader is always with greater minds; that also explains why teamwork in corperation is highly emphasized in the 21st century. Brainstorm and exchange of ideas between different thoughts never fail to enhance capabilities of each individula involved, a team, a company, an institution, a country, or even the entire global village. Asking others’ advice instead of getting everything done on one’s own promotes democracy and communication too. In terms of democracy, it is necessary to give others rights and chances to speak since the problem may concern them in different ways, and their saying in turn reflects our respect toward freedom of speech as well as their wisdom. In terms of communication, idea exchange sometimes focuses more than solutions, and hereby better mutual understanding about perspectives, principles, praticalities and personalities of each other. Admittely turning to others for help and suggestion by no means refers to absolute and irresponsible dependence. Consideration upon different thoughts and ideas broadens our mind, enlarges our vision, furthers understanding, enhances more effective and efficient brainstorm, and stresses mutual respect in groups and communities, which undoubtedly gives rise to better, if not the best solutions. As is paraphrasedfrom John F Kenedy, brainstormed, there is little we cannot do while divided, there is little we can do. 托福写作辅导:托福考试满分作文欣赏(2) Case of Benjinin Franklin, gathering great minds under one roof and then establishing a most world-renown libray.
