Student:Professor Jason, there is something that's been on my mind.

学生:杰森教授,我一直在思考一件事情。

Professor:Ok.

教授:是什么呢?

Student:Remember last week, you told us that it's really important to get our photography into a show, basically as soon as we can?

学生:记得上周您说把自己的作品尽快的展览出来非常重要吗?

Professor:Yes up, it's a big step, no question.

教授:是的。这是很重要的一步,毫无疑问。

Student:Thing is, I am sitting here and I am just not sure how I get there.

学生:问题是,我就坐在这里想,真的不知道接下来该怎么办。

I mean I've got some work I like, but is it the really what the gallery is looking for?

我倒是有些自己喜欢的作品,但是美术馆也会喜欢吗?

How would I know, how do I make the right context to get it into show, I just really don't...

我怎样知道如何将自己的作品展览出来呢,我真的没有头绪。

Professor:Ok, hold on, slow down.

教授:好,别急,别急。

Um…these are questions, well, just about every young artist has to struggle with.

嗯,这些就是年轻艺术家们经常感到困惑的问题。

Ok, the first thing you should do is you absolutely have to stay true to your artistic vision; take the pictures you want to take.

那么首先你需要做的就是坚定自己的艺术视觉,拍摄自己喜欢的照片。

Don't start trying to catch the flavor the monsoon, be trendy because you think you are getting into a show-that never works, because you wanna them creating something you don't really believe in.

千万不要因为你想展出自己的作品就试图去拍摄季风之类的时尚作品,这只会事倍功半,因为你制作出的其实并不是自己热衷的。

That sounds uninspired, and won't make any shows.

听起来好像没什么灵感,也不会有成功的展出。

I've seen that have happened so many times.

我已经见过很多前车之鉴。

This doesn't mean that you should go into the caves.

这倒不是说你应该进个山洞去拍照什么的。

Keep up with the trends, even think about how your work might fit in with them, but don't mindlessly follow them.

要随着潮流走,想想你的作品如何与潮流相呼应,但是不能盲目追求。Student:Well, yeah, I can see that.

学生:嗯,我想明白了。

I think though I have always been able to stay pretty true to what I want to create, not what others want me to create.

我想尽管自己一直坚定自己的风格,但是也许这不是别人想看到的作品啊,

I think that comes through my work.

我想这也在我的作品上有所体现吧。

Professor:Ok, just remember that is one thing to create works that you really want to create one that in the classroom.

教授:好的。在创作时你就记住,就像你在教室里一样。

The only thing at stake is your grade.

只不过在教室里你还需要担心自己的分数,

But what create outside the classroom?

那么在教室意外呢?

That could be in different story.

那就大不相同了。

Eh, I'm not talking about techniques or things like that.

我不是在说技巧之类的问题。

It's just there is so much more stake when you are out there making art for living.

就是说在你用艺术来谋生的时候,你要面临很多问题。

There are a lot of pressures to become something you are not, and people often surrendered to that pressure.

总是有很多的压力,让你不再是你自己,很多人经常屈服于这种压力之下。Student:But to get stuff it exhibited…

学生:但是想将自己的作品展出…

Professor:Well, you need to be a bit of opportunists.

教授:呃,你需要遇到机遇。

Now, a common sense things like always having a sample if you worked on hand to give the people.

那么一般是你随时有张样本在手中以给人展示。

You won't believe the kind of contacts and opportunities you get it in this way.

你不会相信这种方式能给你带来的机遇。

And try to get your work seen in the places like restaurants, bookstores, you will be surprised how world get surround it about photography in places like then.

而且尽量使你的作品在饭店、书店等地方展出,你会惊奇的发现在这些地方很多人会围观摄影作品。

Student:Ok it's just so hard to think about all of these practical things and make good work, you know.

学生:好的。但是你知道的,想想这些实践起来的事情以及创作好作品就很难。

学生:Tibets 教授,你的评语写说要跟我见面谈谈那篇大部头的论文。

I have to say that grade wasn't what I was expecting.

我必须要说那个分数实在低于我的预期。

I thought I'd done a pretty good job.

我以为自己写的还不错呢。

Professor:Oh, you did. But do you really want to settle for pretty good when you can do something very good?

教授:噢,你确实写的不错。但你愿意在明明可以做到“非常好”的情况下仅仅做到“比较好吗”?

Student:You think it can be very good?

学生:你觉得它可以达到非常好?

Professor:Absolutely!

教授:当然!

Student:Would that mean yo u'd…I could get a better grade?

学生:这是否意味着,我可以得到一个更好的成绩吗?

Professor:Oh, sorry! It's not for your grade. It's…I think you could learn a lot by revising it.

Student:You mean, rewrite the whole thing?

学生:你的意思是,把原文重写一遍?

I really swamped.

我忙各种截止期限根本喘不过气来。

There're deadlines wherever I turn and… and I don't really know how much time I could give it.

我真的不知道自己还能为它付出多少时间。

Professor:Well, it is a busy time, with spring break coming up next week. It's your call.

教授:现在正是忙碌的时候,加上下周春假要来了。由你决定。

But I think with all a little extra effort, you could really turn this into a fine essay.

但我觉得如果付出一点额外的努力,你会把它变成一篇很好的文章。Student:No… yeah…I mean, after I read your comments, I...I can see how it tries to do too much.

学生:嗯,我的意思是,读完你的评论,我能明白这篇文章写的有点过。Professor:Yeah. It's just too ambitious for the scope of the assignment.

教授:对。在作业的范畴里,它有点太急功近利。

Student:So I should cut out the historical part?

学生:所以我应该删掉历史的部分?

Professor:Yes. I would just stick to the topic.

教授:是的。我希望你紧扣主题。

Anything unrelated to the use of nature EMITRY has no place in the paper.

任何跟自然意向的使用这个主题无关的内容都不要在论文中出现。

All that tangential material just distracted from the main argument.

所有这些相关材料都分散了主要内容的注意力。

Student:Yeah, I never know how much to include. You know…where to draw the

line?

学生:是的,我非常明白应该包括多少内容。你觉得在什么情况下应该适可而止?Professor:Tell me about it! All writers struggled without one.

教授:就是这样。所有作者如果不能把握这个,都会遇到困难。

Student:Well it's already been several weeks at the end of the semester my check was supposed to go directly into my bank account but there haven't been any deposits.

学生:已经期末的好几周了,我的支票应该直接转到我银行账户里,但还查不到任何存款记录。

Secretary:That's odd.

秘书:那就怪了。

Student:Yea, I thought graduate teaching a system for automatically put on the payroll at the beginning of the semester.

学生:是啊,我以为研究生教学助理在开学的时候就已经在工资名单上了呢。Secretary:They are. Let's see did you complete all the forms for the payroll?

秘书:就是这样的啊。我们看看...工资名单的材料你都填了吗?

Student:I filled in whatever they sent me, and I returned like the end of August.

学生:我把他们寄来的材料都填了。而且我差不多八月底就寄回去了。Secretary:Hum, well, you definitely should have been paid by now.

秘书:嗯,照理说你应该领工资了。

At least two pay periods have passed since then

已经过去至少两个发薪周期了。

Student:I asked the bank and they didn't know anything.

学生:我问银行了,他们什么都不知道。

Who should I talk to about this, payroll?

关于这件事我应该跟谁谈呢,工资名单的人?

Secretary:I'm going to contact them for you.

秘书:我会替你联系他们的。

There was a problem in processing some of the graduate students'payroll paper work. 处理研究生助教文件的时候好像有点问题,

Cause their computer program crashed after all the information was processed. And some people's information couldn't be retrieved.

因为他们的电脑系统在处理完这些程序之后崩溃了,有些人的信息可能丢失了。Student:Hum. But why didn't any one let me know?

学生:哦,可为什么没人告诉我呢?

Secretary:I don't know how they work over there, 'cause they couldn't even figure out whose information was missing.

秘书:我不知道他们那边是何状况。因为,他们可能连丢失的是谁的信息都不知道。

And this isn't the first time, seems like something like this happens every semester.

而且这不是第一次了,好像每学期都会出这一档子。

Student:So how do I find out if my information was lost?

学生:那我怎么知道丢失的是不是我的信息?

Secretary:I will contact them tomorrow morning to see if you're in the system. But

you're probably not.

秘书:我明天早上联系他们,看你是否在他们的电脑系统里。但估计你不在。Student:What then will let me to do?

学生:那接下来我应该做什么?

Secretary:Sorry but you will need to fill out those forms again and then I will fax them over the payroll office.

秘书:抱歉了,但你需要把那些资料重填一下。然后我会发传真到负责工资的办公室。

Student:And then what… Well, what I really need to know is how long till I get the money, I'm already a month behind my bills and my tuitions due soon.

学生:那然后呢?我真正关心的是我多久能拿到钱?我的账单已经拖欠一个月了,而我又快要缴学费了。

Secretary:That'll get you into the system the same day they receive your paper works. So if you do that tomorrow, you'll get paid next Friday.

秘书:他们会在收到你资料的同一天把你输入进工资名单,所以如果你明天就去,下周五就能收到钱。

Student:That's a long time from now. Will that pay checking include all the money I am owed?

学生:还有很久呢。那笔工资会涵盖他们欠我的所有工资吗?

Secretary:It should. I will double check with the payroll department.

秘书:应该是,我会跟工资办公室核实的。

Student:And another thing, Is there any way I could get paid sooner, I have been teaching all these weeks…

学生:还有,有任何办法可以让我尽快拿到钱吗?我教了这么长时间的课…Secretary:I know that's not fair but I don't think they can do anything; all the checks are computed automatically in the system. They can't just write checks.

秘书:我知道这不公平,但我觉得别无他法。所有的工资支票都是电脑自动管理的。他们不能直接付给你钱。

Student:But there is another one to make mistakes. They've never told me!

学生:但是他们出错了,而且从来都没告诉过我。

Secretary: I understand how you feel and if I were you, I'd be upset too.

秘书:我和你感同身受,如果换作是我也会很生气的。

I'll tell you what: when I call them, I will explain the situation and ask them if there is any way you can be paid sooner.

这样吧,等我给他们打电话的时候,我会告诉他们你的情况,问问他们有没有任何办法可以让你尽快拿到钱。

But I have to tell you that base on past experiences you shouldn't count on it.

但我必须告诉你,根据以往经验你别抱太大希望。

Student:I understand thanks. I know it's' not your fault and that you're doing everything you can.

学生:唉,我了解了,谢谢。我知道这不是你的错,你也在尽力帮助我。Secretary:Well, what I CAN do is make sure that your first check for total amount the university owes you.

秘书:我能做的就是确保你收到的这第一笔钱涵盖了学校欠你的每笔工资。Student:That'll be great! Thank you. I will be on campus about 10 tomorrow morning and I will come back to see you then.

学生:那太好了,谢谢。我明天会上午十点的时候来学校,到时候我会过来找你。

Professor:Good afternoon, Alex, can I help you with something?

教授:下午好,阿莱克斯,有什么我可以帮你的吗?

Student:Well, I want to talk with you about the research project you have assigned today.

学生:嗯,我想跟你谈谈你今天留的研究项目作业。

I um…I hope you could clarify a few things for me.

我希望可以弄清楚几件事。

Professor:I'll certainly try.

教授:我会尽力帮你。

Student:Ok, all we have to do is do two observations and take notes on them, right? 学生:好吧。我们要做的就是做两组观察然后记笔记,对吗?

Professor:Ur, that's the start, but you need to do some research, too.

教授:嗯。这只是个开始。接着你需要做一些调查。

Then you will write a paper that is not so much about the observations, but a synthesis of what you have observed and read.

然后你写的论文跟你的观察关系不大,而是你结合观察的和阅读的内容。Student:Ok….And what about the children I am supposed to observe?

学生:好吧。那我观察的那些孩子呢?

Professor:Not children, a single child observed twice.

教授:不是那些孩子。是一个孩子,要观察两次。

Student:Oh…Ok, so I should choose a child with a permission of a child's parents of course and then observed that child a couple of times and take good notes, then?

学生:噢,好吧。那么我是不是应该先征得孩子家长关于这个项目的同意,然后再观察几次这个孩子,再好好做笔记呢?

Professor:Actually after your first observation, you go back and look through your textbook or go to a library and find a few sources concerning the stage of development, the particular child is in.

教授:事实上,在你第一次观察之后,你要回去通读教材,或者去图书馆找一些有关这个孩子所处的发展阶段的资料。

Then, with that knowledge, you will make the second observation of the same child to see if these expected developmental behaviors are exhibited.

接着,有了足够的知识,你再去找同一个孩子做第二次观察,看预测的发展行为跟孩子所展示的是否一样。

Student:Can you give me an example?

学生:能给我举个例子吗?

Professor:Well, en, if you observed a 4 year-old child, for example, my daughter is 4 years old;

教授:嗯,如果你观察一个4岁的孩子,比方说,我的女儿就是4岁。

you might read up on cushy stage of cognitive development we covered those in class. 你可以研究我们课上讲过的认知发展的相关课程。

Student:Aha…学生:原来如此。

Professor:And most likely, what stage would a child of that age be in?

教授:而且这个年龄的孩子最可能是处于什么阶段?

Student:Um… the pre-operational stage?

学生:嗯,前可行动时期?

Professor:Exactly, if that's the case, her languages used to be maturing and her memory and imagination would be developed.

教授:对。如果如此,那么她的语言运用应该日渐成熟,而且她的记忆和想象力正在发展。

Student:So she might play pretend like she can pretend when driving her toy car across a couch that the couch is actually a bridge or something.

学生:所以她可以假装开着自己的玩具车穿过沙发,想象那个沙发其实是座桥或者什么别的东西。

Professor:That is right. In addition, her thinking would be primarily egocentric.

教授:没错。而且她的思维会很基本,以自我为中心。

Student:So she would be thinking mostly about herself and her own needs, and might not be able to see things from anyone else perspective.

学生:所以她主要会想她自己的需求,而不是从别人的视角看待问题。Professor:En hums…教授:对。

Student:But what if she doesn't?学生:但如果她不是呢?

I mean, what if she doesn't demonstrate those behaviors?

我的意思是,如果她不展示这样的行为呢?

Professor:That's fine; you'll note that in your paper.

教授:那没关系。你可以在你的论文里提及。

See, your paper should compare what is expected of children at certain stages of development with what you actually observed.

你看,你的论文应该对比你期望孩子在特定阶段的发展和你事实上观察到的。Student:Ok, I have one more question now.

学生:好的,我还有一个问题。

Professor:What's that?

教授:什么问题?

Student:Where can I find a child to observe?

学生:我上哪儿去找小孩观察呢?

Professor:Ur, I suggest you contact the education department secretary.

教授:嗯。我建议你去找教育部门的秘书。

She has a list of contacts at various schools and with certain families who are somehow connected to the university.

她有一个列表,里面有不同学校和不同家庭的电话,多多少少跟我们大学有点联系。

Sometimes they are willing to help out students with projects like yours.

有时候他们愿意帮助学像你这样的学生做项目。

Student:Ok, I'll stop by the educational department office this afternoon.

托福听力功能题及态度题

托福听力功能题及态度题 功能题 在新托福听力中, function功能题占大约15%的比重。那么考生要学会识别function 功能题并把握其解题技巧。 首先我们看看功能题的典型提问方式: What is the purpose of the lecture? What does the professor imply when she says this? Why does the professor say this? What can be inferred from the student’s response? 其次我们学习下功能题的解题技巧 解答这类题目,考生需要注意重听的某句话在重听的小层次中所起到的作用。单独看这句话,可能考生无法判定它的功能。那么放在语境中,考生才能更好地把握其功能。 而在托福听力中常见的功能的分类有解释,总结,建议,鼓励,强调,纠正错误等。此外考生可以根据这些常见的功能分类,分析可能出现的考点,利用听力过程中的笔记把握重点内容。在记笔记的过程中注意把握语气、语调的升降。这些都是功能题常出现的考点。有重点地把握这些能够更好地把握功能题,并提升功能题的正确率。 态度题 在P类问题(Pragmatic Understanding Questions)中,态度题所占的比重相对较少。但是不可忽视其重要性。下面我们来看看托福听力中态度题的一些情况。 态度题的典型提问方式: What is the professor’s opinion of …? What can be inferred about the student when he says this?

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TPO12综合写作阅读原文+听力原文+满分范文

为了帮助大家高效备考托福,为大家带来托福TPO12综合写作阅读原文+听力原文+满分范文,希望对大家备考有所帮助。 托福TPO12综合写作阅读原文文本: Jane Austen (1775-1817) is one of the most famous of all English novelists, and today her novels are more popular than ever, with several recently adapted as Hollywood movies. But we do not have many records of what she looked like. For a long time, the only accepted image of Austen was an amateur sketch of an adult Austen made by her sister Cassandra. However recently a professionally painted, full-length portrait of a teenage girl owned by a member of the Austen family has come up for sale. Although the professional painting is not titled Jane Austen, there are good reasons to believe she is the subject. First, in 1882, several decades after Austen's death, Austen's family gave permission to use the portrait as an illustration in an edition of her letters. Austen's family clearly recognized it as a portrait of the author. So, for over a century now, the Austen family itself has endorsed the claim that the girl in the portrait is Jane Austen. Second, the face in the portrait clearly resembles the one in Cassandra's sketch, which we know depicts Austen. Though somewhat amateurish, the sketch communicates definite details about Austen's face. Even though the Cassandra sketch is of an adult Jane Austen, the features are still similar to those of the teenage girl in the painting. The eyebrows, nose, mouth, and overall shape of the face are very much like those in the full-length portrait. Third, although the painting is unsigned and undated, there is evidence that it was painted when Austen was a teenager. The style links it to Ozias Humphrey, a society portrait painter who was the kind of professional the wealthy Austen family would hire. Humphrey was active in the late 1780s and early 1790s, exactly the period when Jane Austen was the age of the girl in the painting. 托福TPO12综合写作听力原文文本: Professor:The evidence linking this portrait to Jane Austen is not at all convincing. Sure, the painting has long been somewhat loosely connected to Austen's extended family and their descendants, but this hardly proves it's a portrait of Jane Austen as a teenager. The reading's arguments that the portrait is of Austen are questionable at best.First, when the portrait was authorized for use in the 1882 publication of her letters, Jane Austen had been dead for almost 70 years. So the family members who asserted that the painting was Jane had never actually seen her themselves. They couldn't have known for certain if the portrait was of Austen or not.Second, the portrait could very well be that of a relative of Austen's, a fact that would explain the resemblance between its subject and that of Cassandra's sketch. The extended Austen family was very large and many of Jane Austen's female cousins were teenagers in the relevant period or had children who were teenagers. And some of these teenage girls could have resembled Jane Austen. In fact, many experts believe that the truesubject of the portrait was one of those relatives, Marianne Kempian,

Professor: OK. We’ve been talking till now about the two basic needs of a biological community – an energy source to produce organic materials, you know uh, food for the organisms, and the waste recycling or breakdown of materials back into inorganic molecules, and about how all this requires photosynthesis when green plants or microbes convert sunlight into energy, and also requires microorganisms, bacteria, to secrete chemicals that break down or recycle the organic material to complete the cycle. So, now we are done with this chapter of the textbook, we can just review for the weekly quiz and move on to the next chapter, right? Well, not so fast. First, I ‘d like to talk about some discoveries that have challenged one of these fundamental assumptions about what you need in order to have a biological community. And, well, there actually were quite a few surprises. It all began in 1977 with the exploration of hydrothermal vents on the ocean floor. Hydrothermal vents are cracks in the Earth’s surface that occur, well, the ones we are taiking about here are found deep at the bottom of the ocean. And these vents

1 Community service is an important component of education here at our university. We encourage all students to volunteer for at least one community activity before they graduate. A new community program called "One On One" helps elementary students who've fallen behind. Y ou education majors might be especially interested in it because it offers the opportunity to do some teaching—that is, tutoring in math and English. Y ou'd have to volunteer two hours a week for one semester. Y ou can choose to help a child with math, English, or both. Half-hour lessons are fine, so you could do a half hour of each subject two days a week. Professor Dodge will act as a mentor to the tutors---he'll be available to help you with lesson plans or to offer suggestions for activities. He has office hours every Tuesday and Thursday afternoon. Y ou can sign up for the program with him and begin the tutoring next week. I'm sure you'll enjoy this community service and you'll gain valuable experience at the same time. It looks good on your resume, too, showing that you've had experience with children and that you care about your community. If you'd like to sign up, or if you have any questions, stop by Professor Dodge's office this week. 2 I hope you've all finished reading the assigned chapter on insurance so

下面就让小编来为大家介绍一下托福听力TPO1原文中Lecture 4的文本内容吧,大 家要好好把握,这些都是非常有价值的材料,希望能够给准备托福听力的同学带来帮助。 TPO 1 Lecture 4BiologyNarratorListen to part of a lecture in a biology class. ProfessorFor today’s discussion, we’ll review the case study on how some animals have behaviorally adapted to their environments. Now you had to read about two animal species, the Eastern marmot and the Olympic marmot. Marmots are rodents. They are large ground squirrels, about the size of an average house cat. And they live in a variety of habitats. And even though they spend the significant portion of the year hibernating, according to this case study, marmots are still considered excellent subjects for animal behavioral studies. Why is that? StudentWell, when they are not hibernating, you can find them in open areas. And they are pretty active during the day, which makes them easy to observe, right? ProfessorUh-huh, so first let’s discuss the Eastern marmots. They reside throughout the eastern region of North America where there is a temperate climate, where the growing season lasts for at least five months of the year, which is when they do all their mating, playing and eating. StudentOh, I see. At first I wasn’t sure what growing season meant, just from the reading. But now I get it. It's the amount of time it takes for them to grow, right? So it would be five months? ProfessorUmm? Oh, uh… I’m sorry but no. It has nothing to do with that. It's not about the time it takes for Eastern marmots to grow. It’s when the food is available. That is when it’s not covered in snow and there is no frost covering the grass and, umm, vegetative parts of a plant’s herbs and the flowers the marmots like to eat. So growing season refers to the availability of the food they eat, OK? So now how would you describe the Eastern marmots’ social habits? StudentWell, they are really territorial, and loners, and just so aggressive even with other Eastern marmots. And their mating ritual is just so impersonal. ProfessorUh-huh? Now when they emerge in the spring from hibernation, the mating process begins. For them, well, they come together to mate and then they

Student: Hi, I was wondering if I could talk with you about the assignment in the film theory class. Professor: Of course, Jill. Student: It seems that pretty much everyone else in the class gets what they are supposed to be doing but I’m not so sure. Professor: Well, the class is for students who are really serious about film. You must have taken film courses before. Student: Yeah, in high school, film appreciation. Professor: Hmmm…I wouldn’t think that would be enough. Did you concentrate mainly on form or content? Student: Oh, definitely content. We’d watch, say Lord of the Flies, and then discuss it. Professor: Oh, that approach, treating film as literature, ignoring what makes it unique. Student: I liked it, though. Professor: Sure, but that kind of class. Well, I’m not surprised that you are feeling a little lost. You know, we have two introductory courses that are supposed to be taken before you get to my course, one in film art, techniques, technical stuff and another in film history. So students in the class you are in should be pretty far along in film studies. In fact, usually the system blocks anyone trying to sign up for a class they shouldn’t be taking, who hasn’t taken the courses you are required to do first as prerequisites. Student: Well, I did have a problem with that but I discussed it with one of your office staff, and she gave me permission. Professor: Of course. No matter how many times I tell them, they just keep on… Well, for your own good, I’d really suggest dropping back and starting at the usual

托福考试听力有几道题(最新)

托福考试听力有几道题 托福听力考试由是两个部分组成的,每个托福听力部分是由一段对话和两个讲座组成,在每个部分的考试时间上每个部分需要听的录音大约是20分钟加上答题时间是10分钟,这样每个部分则需要30分钟的时间。如果遇到托福听力加试的话,听力加试中的一个部分也是由一段对话和两个讲座组成的,则也需要30分钟。所以托福听力在没有加试的情况下是60分钟,如果遇到托福听力加试,听力考试的时间延长至90分钟。 托福听力连录音+做题一起一共有60分钟时间,每部分听力题目播放时间各20分钟左右,剩余是答题时间各10分钟左右。其中托福听力section10分钟答题时间。一个section做题时间有没有限制呢? 如果有的话多少时间? 托福听力两个section答题十分钟,每道选择题不计时。在播放听力时不计时。一般会遇上听力加试,时间和前两个section一样。 每个section10分钟答题时间,也就是说十七道题十分钟作答完成。这个时间是卡死的。做不完就懵了。 听力10分钟答题,考生要注意把握好时间,在平时模拟练习的时候自己掐一下时间。否则上场会慌。如果大家没有注意时间,后来的题目都很容易答不完。 托福听力答题时,选择答案后,自己点确认,才会跳到下一个问题。读题的时间是够够的,通常都会剩余。 托福听力题目播放的时候屏幕上会显示总共的播放进程,让你知道自己听了多少,还要听多少,有点像播放器下面的长条条似的。屏幕上有时候还会显示新给的学术名词。每放完一组就会问题,准备好继续答了你可以趁机休息一下。这是网友的托福听力section问题的经验分享。 扩展阅读:托福听力5大出题规律 一、矛盾规律 从托福听力真题可以看出,对话板块一定是建立在矛盾上的。如果没有矛盾的存在,那么就不会有对话。具体一点,比如说:男生是校队的,每周上课时间要去比赛,但是又怕耽搁课程,所以就问女生怎么办。正因为又上课和比赛这对矛盾,所以才产生了对话.所以,在做对话题的时候,你要搞清楚矛盾是什么,这样对做题又很大的帮助。 二、性别规律 在托福听力题型中,女性永远是光明正确的,男性永远是窝囊倒霉的。男生总是生活在女生的细心关怀呵护下。所以,一旦在对话题中你遇到男女对话(其

Student: Hi, can I ask you a few questions about starting classes during your summer session? Q1 Admission officer: Sure, ask away. It starts next week, you know. Student: Yeah, and I wanted to get some required courses out of the way, so I can, maybe I can graduate one term earlier and get out into the job market sooner. Q2 Admission officer: That sounds like a good idea. Let me pull up the summer school database on my computer here. Student: Ok. Admission officer: OK, here it is. What?s your student ID number? Student: Oh, well, the thing is, I?m no t actually admitted here. I will be starting school upstate at Hooper University in the fall, but I?m down here for the summer staying with my grandparents, …cause I have a summer job near here. Admission officer: Oh, I see. Well. Student: So I?m out of lu ck? Admission officer: Well, you would be if you were starting anywhere but Hooper, but City College has a sort of special relationship with Hooper, a full exchange agreement. So our students can take classes at Hooper, and vice versa.Q5 So if you can show me proof, eh, your admissions letter from Hooper, then I can get you into our system here and give you an ID number. Student: Oh, cool. So, um, I wanna take a math course and a science course, preferably biology, and I was also hoping to get my English Composition Course out of the way, too. Admission officer: Well, all three of those courses are offered in the summer, but you?ve got to understand that summer courses are condensed. You need longer hours and the assignments are doubled up because it?s the s ame

托福听力原文

0401 W: Hey Steve, got any plans for tonight? M: Hi, Jane. No, I don't think so. Why? Got any suggestions? W: In fact, I do. I just got two tickets to the opening of the exhibit of the reprints by Julia Margaret Cameron. I would have tomention it earlier, but I was on the waiting list for these tickets and I wasn't sure I'd even get them. M: An exhibit, huh? I like such things. But I don't know who Julia…… W: Margaret Cameron! She was a photographer in the 1800s. She is interesting to art-historians in general and students ofphotography in particular because she ... how should I say, change the aesthetics for photography. M: What do you mean? W: Well, her specialty was portraits and instead of just making a factual record of details like most photographers did, you know, justcapturing what a person look like in a dispassionate thought of way. She, like a portrait painter, was interested in capturing hersubject's personality. M: Interesting! How did she do that? W: She invented a number of techniques that affect the picture. Like one of these things she did was blur images slightly by using asoft focus on the subject. That's pretty common now. M: Yeah, seen that. Who did she photograph? W: Famous people of her day, Alfred Lord Tennyson, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Charles Darwin, I don't know who else. We'll seeat the exhibition. M: You really pick my curiosity. I am going to enjoy this. 31. What is the conversation mainly about? (A) A famous photographer 32. What did Julia Margaret Cameron emphasize in her portraits? (C) Her subject's personality 33. According to the conversation, what unique photographic technique did Margaret Cameron use? (D) Soft focus 34. What will be the subject of the pictures at the exhibit? (C) Well-known people M: Do you want to the movies with on Saturday? W: Thanks, but I have to study my research project. I'm taking that same anthropology course you took with Prof. Grady. M: The one on ethnographic interviewing? Oh, good! I'm sure you'll get a lot out of it. W: I have to admit the word "ethnography"(人种学) scared me a little at first. It seems so technical. But then when she explained that it's what anthropologists do, you know, how they investigate and record aspects of a culture, I didn't seem so intimidating! M: Yeah, it's all part of the fields work anthropologists conduct and it's good to start doing that now before you become a graduatestudent and have to conduct large projects yourself. Who are you going to interview? W: You know the publishing office where I used to work? Vivian, the woman I worked for, she's been a manager there for over 30years and had seen a lot of changes in the industry. I thought I'd start out by interviewing her about how the people in the officeinteract with each other and with outside clients. M: Isn't it funny how we use the thing that anthropologists study to foreign cultures and had the travel halfway across the world to doit? The best part of that course is that it shows you that ethnographic research can also be done on a familiar ground. W: Yeah. I got the idea from my project from reading Robert Marshal's study of office life and I
