托福听力真题及答案

托福听力真题及答案

托福听⼒真题及答案托福听⼒是⼀种对考⽣听⼒的考核⽅式。

是⼀般是两到三个部分,每个部分由⼀段对话和两个讲座,每个部分需要听的录⾳⼤约是20分钟,答题时间是10分钟,下⾯是⼩编收集推荐的托福听⼒真题,仅供参考,欢迎阅读。

2015年10⽉11⽇托福听⼒真题讲座1 哲学holism和reductionism的区别(两个学术研究的不同⾓度)⽤ants举例,先说D:每个ant有⾃⼰的task,每个⼩的part都发挥⾃⼰的作⽤。

教授下结论,看了individual的作⽤可以predict整体的作⽤。

再说H:解释整体的作⽤并不单纯个体作⽤的叠加,类似1+1>2。

即整体作⽤更⼤。

提到leader的作⽤。

再说蚁群有queen,但是queen主要是lay eggs⽽不是organize。

讲座2:植物学botany 讨论动物觅⾷与物种多样性,整个⽂章对⽐polar region与tropical region的动物。

Polar:⼀个动物吃多种⾷物,⽽且还migration,就是因为可以吃的东西选择少,不diverse,这些动物可以被称为generalist,举例foxTropical:动物可以吃东西选择多,⽽且climate stable所以吃⼀种就⾏,这样避免了animals之间的competition。

这些动物是specialist。

举例黄⽑的⼀个动物。

讨论这两种情况呢的利弊:tropical只吃⼀个,要是被吃的那个消失了,就会导致extinction。

说其实⼈类并不是extinction的主要原因,但是⼈类造成的harm也需要考虑,⼈类需要意识到⾃⼰⾏为的后果。

对话2:学⽣服务场景student和employee at theater的对话。

学⽣要买票,因为⽗母来了,要看看什么play可以看。

Employee说可以看哈姆雷特,同时推荐了season ticket给她,并告诉她三个好处:1. Cheep,因为有discount2. 可以卖extra ticket,但不保证座位在⼀起,因为这两部分票是分开卖的,⼥⽣说没有关系。

托福综合写作练习及听力原文1-5听写原文

1Community 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. You education majors might be especially interested in it because it offers the opportunity to do some teaching—that is, tutoring in math and English. You'd have to volunteer two hours a week for one semester. You 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. You 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.【生词摘录】ponent: n.[C]one of several parts that together make up a whole machineor system (机器或系统的)零件;成分;组成部分2.tutor: n. [C]someone who teaches one pupil or a small group, and is directly paidby them 家庭教师,私人教师v. to teach someone as a tutor 给…当家庭教师;指导3.mentor: n. [C]an experienced person who advises and helps a less experiencedperson 顾问,指导人,教练I hope you've all finished reading the assigned chapter on insurance so that you're prepared for our discussion today. But, before we start, I'd like to mention a few things your text doesn't go into. It's interesting to note that insurance has existed in some form for a very long time. The earliest insurance policies were what we called bottomry contracts. They provided shipping protection for merchants as far back as 3000 B.C. In general, the contracts were often no more than verbal agreements. They granted loans to merchants with the understanding that if a particular shipment of goods was lost at sea, the loan didn't have to be repaid. Interest on the loans varied according to how risky it was to transport the goods. During periods of heavy piracy at sea, for example, the amount of interest and the cost of the policy went up considerably. So, you can see how insurance helped encourage international trade. Even the most cautious merchants became willing to risk shipping their goods over long distances, not to mention in hazardous weather conditions when they had this kind of protection available. Generally speaking, the basic form of an insurance policy has been pretty much the same since the Middle Ages. There are four points that were salient then and remain paramount in all policies today. These were outlined in chapter six and will serve as the basis for the rest of today's discussion. Can anyone tell me what one of those points might be?【生词摘录】1.insurance: n. [U]an arrangement with a company in which you pay them moneyeach year and they pay the costs if anything bad happens to you, such as an illness or an accident 保险;the money that you pay regularly to an insurance company 保险费;the business of providing insurance 保险业2.bottomry: n. 船舶抵押契约(如船舶损失,则债务取消),冒险借贷3.contract: n. [C]a formal written agreement between two or more people, whichsays what each person must do for the other 契约;合同4.loan: n. [C]an amount of money that you borrow from a bank etc (银行等的)贷款5.understanding: n. [C usually singular]a private, unofficial agreement(私底下、非正式的)协议,协定6.interest: n. [U]a charge made for borrowing money(借贷的)利息[+on]7.piracy: n. the crime of attacking and stealing from ships at sea 海上抢劫,海盗行为8.cautious: adj. careful to avoid danger or risks 小心的,谨慎的,慎重的9.hazardous: adj. 危险的10.s alient: adj. formal the salient points or features of something are the mostimportant or most noticeable parts of it 【正式】显著的,突出的11.p aramount: adj. more important than anything else 至高无上的,最重要的Located at the NASA Research Center in Iowa is a 5,000-gallon vat of water, and inside the tank is an underwater treadmill designed by Dava Newman, an aerospace engineer. For four years Newman observed scuba divers as they simulated walking on the Moon and on Mars on her underwater moving belt. She wanted to discover how the gravity of the Moon and of Mars would affect human movement. To do this, Newman attached weights to the divers and then lowered them into the tank and onto the treadmill. These weights were carefully adjusted so that the divers could experience underwater the gravity of the Moon and of Mars as they walked on the treadmill. Newman concluded that walking on Mars will probably be easier than walking on the Moon. The Moon has less gravity than Mars does, so at lunar gravity, the divers struggled to keep their balance and walked awkwardly. But at Martian gravity, the divers had greater traction and stability and could easily adjust to a pace of 1.5 miles per hour. As Newman gradually increased the speed of the treadmill, the divers took longer, graceful strides until they comfortably settled into an even quicker pace. Newman also noted that at Martian gravity, the divers needed less oxygen. The data Newman collected will help in the future design of Martian space suits. Compared to lunar space suits, Martian space suits will require smaller air tanks; and, to allow for freer movement, the elbow and knee areas of the space suits will also be altered.【生词摘录】1.gallon: n. AmE a unit for measuring liquids, equal to 3.785 litres 【美】加仑(等于3.785升)2.vat: n. [C]a very large container for storing liquids such as whisky or dye, whenthey are being made(酿酒、盛染料用的)大缸,大桶3.tank: n.

[U]the sport of swimming under water while breathing througha tube connected to a container of air on your back 斯库巴潜泳,水肺潜泳(戴自携式潜水呼吸器潜泳)7.simulate: v. to make or produce something that is not real but has the appearanceof being real 模仿,模拟8.Martian: adj. of or relating to the planet Mars 火星的9.stride: n. [C]a long step 大步,阔步10.e lbow: n. [C]the joint where your arms bends 肘Welcome to Everglades National Park. The Everglades is a watery plain covered with saw grass that's home to numerous species of plants and wildlife. At one and a half million acres, it's too big to see it all today, but this tour will offer you a good sampling. Our tour bus will stop first at Taylor Slough. This is a good place to start because it's home to many of the plants and animals typically associated with the Everglades. You'll see many exotic birds and, of course, our world famous alligators. Don't worry, there's a boardwalk that goes across the marsh, so you can look down at the animals in the water from a safe distance. The boardwalk is high enough to give you a great view of the saw grass prairie. From there we'll head to some other marshy and even jungle like areas that feature wonderful tropical plant life. For those of you who'd like a closer view of the saw grass prairie, you might consider renting a canoe sometime during your visit here. However, don't do this unless you have a very good sense of direction and can negotiate your way through tall grass. We'd hate to have to come looking for you. You have the good fortune of being here in the winter—the best time of year to visit. During the spring and summer, the mosquitoes will just about eat you alive! Right now they're not so bothersome, but you'll still want to use an insect repellent.【生词摘录】1.Everglades National Park: 大沼泽地国家公园2.saw grass: 克拉莎草;加州砖子苗3.acre: n. [C]a unit for measuring area, equal to 4,047 square metres 英亩4.sampling: n. items selected at random from a population and used to testhypotheses about the population 取样,抽样,采样5.exotic: adj. approving seeming unusual and exciting because of being connectedwith a foreign country 【褒义】异国风情的,外国情调的:exotic birds 外国的奇异鸟类6.alligator: n. [C]a large animal with a long mouth and sharp teeth that lies in thehot wet parts of the US and China 短吻鳄7.boardwalk: n.

[C]a small flying insect that sucks the blood of people and animals蚊子12.r epellent: n. [C,U]a substance that keeps insects away 驱虫剂Thank you. It's great to see so many of you interested in this series on "Survival in Outer Space." Please excuse the cameras; we're being videotaped for the local TV stations. Tonight I'm going to talk about the most basic aspect of survival—the space suit. When most of you imagine an astronaut, that's probably the first thing that comes to mind, right? Well, without space suits, it would not be possible for us to survive in space. For example, outer space is a vacuum—there's no gravity or air pressure; without protection, a body would explode. What's more, we'd cook in the sun or freeze in the shade with temperatures ranging from a toasty 300 degrees above to a cool 300 degrees below zero Fahrenheit. The space suit that NASA has developed is truly a marvel. This photo enlargement here is a life-size image of an actual space suit worn by astronauts on the last space shuttle mission. This part is the torso. It’s made of seven extremely durable layers. This thick insulation protects against temperature extremes and radiation. Next is what they call a "bladder" of oxygen that's an inflatable sac, filled with oxygen, to simulate atmospheric pressure. This bladder presses against the body with the same force as the Earth's atmosphere at sea level. The innermost layers provide liquid cooling and ventilation. Despite all the layers, the suit is flexible, allowing free movement so we can work. Another really sophisticated part of the space suit is the helmet. I brought one along to show you. Can I have a volunteer come and demonstrate?【生词摘录】1.videotape: v. to record a television programme, film etc on a videotape 把(电视节目、电影等)录在录像(磁)带上2.vacuum: n. [C]a space that is completely empty of all gas, especially one fromwhich all the air has been taken away 真空3.shade: n.

托福听力高频话题分类总结回顾

托福听力高频话题分类总结回顾

托福听力高频话题分类总结回顾托福听力考试中涉及到的话题很多,而不同话题的出现频率也有较大差别,今天给大家带来托福听力高频话题分类总结回顾,希望能够帮助到大家,下面就和大家分享,来欣赏一下吧。

托福听力高频话题分类总结回顾托福听力对话类话题总结2022年中托福听力部分对话converastion的话题,单从数量上来说并没有变化,哪怕是经过了考试改革,但对话本身的题数也没有发生调整。

而改变的可能主要还是话题的类型。

conversation对话部分一直以来主要涉及两大类话题:第一个是office hour,第二个是student service。

从难度上来说,许多同学觉得student service会比较简单,因为说的都是大家在学校里生活可能会遇到的各种问题,相对来说更为贴近大家的日常,而office hour则可能会涉及到一些学术专业类的问题,有些同学本身对这个专业缺乏基本了解的话会觉得有些理解困难。

而从话题的出现频率来说,这两类话题基本上还是呈现五五开的局面,既每场考试中这两类话题在conversation中出现的频率次数依旧是基本相当的。

托福听力讲座类话题回顾相对于对话类没有太大的变化,讲座lecture的改变就比较多了。

首先是题目数量的减少,原本托福听力固定为两个section,各是1篇对话+2篇讲座的形式,考试改革后其中一个secion的讲座减少为一篇。

而除了直观的篇幅数量的减少外,讲座类的话题频率也发生了一些值得考生关注的变化。

虽然整体话题依然以艺术类,社会科学类,自然科学类以及生命科学这四大类为主,但具体到细节话题,以下这些改变需要大家进一步关注:1. 艺术类话题艺术类话题中,考生需要注意的是绘画雕塑painting and sculpture 类的话题是近期较为高频的话题,而不巧的是很多国内考生,特别是理科生,可能对这类话题是不太感冒的。

而相对来说大家可能更为熟悉的文学音乐类话题,出现频率则有小幅的下降,但依然应该作为大家备考的重点分类。

托福听力常考的几大类题材

托福听力常考的几大类题材

托福听力常考的几大类题材得托福听力者得天下,在托福听力考试中取得好成绩对托福总成绩是十分有利的,那么如何提高听力答题效率,怎样练习托福听力呢,下面请大家跟三立在线小编一起来看看吧事实大部分时候,考生们在走出考场都会认为听力实在太难,到底听力上难在什么地方呢?我们可以从题材上进行分析。

以下三立在线小编就为大家介绍下托福听力常考的几大类题材。

题材的话,对话方面依然是延续了之前的组合:学生和教授;学生和工作人员(其中就包含了图书管理员,书店店员,餐厅工作人员,兼职饭店老板,学校某个机构工作人员等);学生之间互动(根据大陆已进行的考试情况可以看出,此方面出现的相对较少)。

对话方面内容的展开同样是延续了原来的思路:当大家遇到问题,寻求帮助。

而对话的长度也和以前保持一致,持续3分钟左右,约150-250个单词,涉及2-3个对话者。

三个场景:1) 教师办公officehour:这个方面对话通常在教授和学生之间展开,地点大部分是教师办公室,有时可以是电话对话。

内容大部分是学术性的讨论,例如学生需要教授去重新讲解讲座中不清楚又或是难在理解的内容,询问课程作业要求等;有一些就是非学术性的,如学生要求延期交作业,或教授要求学生解释缺课的原因等。

2) 服务咨询ServiceHour:这一类对话通常牵涉学生以及学校非教学人员,地点通常是在非教学人员办公室,时不时会是电话对话,是非学术性的内容。

比如学生咨询住宿,书籍借阅,助学贷款,兼职工作,支付学费等事宜。

3) 学生互动StudentInteraction:这一类对话经常是出现在学生之间,大部分在教室之外的场所,如校园,餐厅,宿舍等。

其中包含的内容牵涉了两种,即学术性和非学术性,如学生间关于某一学术课题,某一学术论文或读物的学术性讨论,或他们之间关于抚恤功课,借笔记等的非学术性对话。

以上就是三立在线小编就托福听力常考题型给出的建议,希望能对大家的听力成绩能有所帮助,预祝大家在托福考试中取得优异成绩。

托福英语听力材料:托福听力中经常会涉及到一些校园类的话题,像购书咨询和校园设施的
使用等算是最常见的了。上海环球托福小编为托福备考的你们整理了4类托福英语听力材料
中常见的校园服务,希望对同学们的托福听力考试所帮助。
托福听力材料 一、bookstore (购书咨询)
这一话题看似不起眼,其实在托福考试中还较为常见。那是因为在国外读书,教材费比较贵,
而且许多书印刷精良,用铜版纸印刷。所以很多学生还有购买2手书的习惯,8成新的教材
可以以5-6折入手。同时,每个semester开学,教授都会有一个booklist,上面罗列了选这
位教授的课需要读的书,有些书图书馆可以借,但是由于经常要on recall(召回),同时僧多
粥少,因此下手慢的童鞋自然就抱憾而归,这种情况下,就需要去书店自行购买所需教材。
有些教材是专业类书籍,要到专业书店购买,又或者学生购买之后,由于不适应所选科目,
开课不久就drop(退课)了,这种情况下,纠纷就发生了。在新托福考试中,通常这类对话就
在学生和书店员工之间展开,同学们要记住一点,书店员工都灰常的负责,热心的帮助学生
找书,但如果要退书的话,对不起,钱是不能退的,只能把新书退回,来张积分卡,下次用
所谓的点卡买书。在我们的TPO练习中,TPO10-4以及TPO 24-1 基本就属于这样的类型。
托福听力材料 二、Campus facilities(校园设施使用)
北美大学校园里面的各类设施在使用时,学生经常会出现一些问题难以解决,这种情况下,
就会求助于各大设施的服务人员。问题主要在于time(设备的使用时间是有规定的);fees(有些
设施的使用需要额外收费,因此精打细算的学生们就会有诸多抱怨);requirement (使用一些设
施或者服务需要提供一些证明,申请或者要提前预约)。各种设施的工作人员会机智的化解
学生因为各类原因无法使用其设备的埋怨或者愤怒,堪称是为人民服务的典范。在这里给大
家举两个例子,比如托福考试有考过学生抱怨体育馆门卡无法参加游泳课,需要额外收费,
一女学员愤怒异常,开口说that’s not fair. 只见这位守门大叔镇定的回答:Well, I think if you
can think about it. You’ll see that it’s fair. 被折服之后的女生就去预约了游泳测试。另外一
个例子是说一学生的社团活动没有被学校网站刊登出来,非常着急,担心活动当天没有人来,
只见服务机构的director一四两拨千斤的语言化解了她的悲愤之情。(*^__^*) 我们的同学在
做TPO时,可以着重练习TPO3-1,TPO11-1,TPO12-4 和TPO 13-4。

托福听力材料 三、diet problems (饮食问题)
民以食为天。吃的不好,自然学习的状态和效率也会下降。因此,饮食问题,即食堂问题在
新托福考试中也是恒久不变的主题。在美国,学生光顾的一般有四种地方,其一是dinning hall,
离学生的 dormitory较近,它是学校里最大而且人最多的食堂,一般是自助餐,参加meal plan
的同学都在这里吃饭,价格比较便宜。其二是cafeteria,它离教学楼较近,大部分教员,校职
工中午都在这里吃午餐,cafeteria是非自助性的,吃多少买多少,但比较贵,而且经常要排
队。尽管如此,许多住在apartment的学生中午都在这里吃饭,省事,下午有课的同学不用
回去了。其三便是restaurant,它在校外,较贵,但有些同学聚会或者没赶上食堂吃饭的时间,
就只好在饭馆了。最后便是快餐店,但一般都是麦当劳,肯德基等,但基本不是托福考试的
内容。我们考试时,主要还是围绕着学生想要修改自己的meal plan为主,想要换一个套餐,
而餐厅服务人员会以营养问题对于学生进行教育,尽量让学生续订。或者是对于食堂的卫生
和饮食安全提出一些建议等。在TPO中,我们可以在TPO 17-4,TPO 19-4,即第二个长对
话中了解相关内容。
托福听力材料 四、declare class or drop the course (选退课问题)
在这个问题上,既有可能和顾问讨论,也可能和教授直接对话,会涉及到一下一些方面。比
如,教授会建议先上入门课,后上高级课,(Intro course/advanced course);热门的课程怎么选
得到,同时有时会因为选的课hold不住,想要退课,老师通常会劝说学生坚持,鼓励他完
成这门课(sign up for/ register for/ enroll in/ enlist in/ drop,quit)。当然还会有其余一些小话题也
会考到,TPO 5-4就是这样一个例子。
