This is an urban campus...You'll have a hard time finding a good place to set up the experiment.FEMALE STUDENT:Oh,I-I wasn't planning on doing it on campus.I'm going home for spring break,and my family lives in the country,far from the nearest city.I can set it up in the backyard.MALE PROFESSOR:Good idea.Except one week is not a lot of time.So you'll need to make some adjustments to have enough data.I'd set up the experiment near a bird feeder,and get in as much observation time as you can.题目1.Why does the student talk with the professor?A.She wants permission to revise an experiment that she conducted earlier.B.She has a question about the findings of an experiment in the textbook.C.She wants to reproduce an experiment that is not in the textbook.D.She would like some advice about how to study butterfly and moth behavior.2.What does the professor say is a common assumption about certain markings onbutterfly and moth wings?A.That the markings are usually hidden from viewB.That the markings attract some kinds of birds more than othersC.That some birds perceive the markings as large eyesD.That butterflies and moths use the markings to attract mates3.What were the results of the experiment that the student describes?[Click on2 answers.]A.Birds reacted to round markings the same way they reacted to square markings.rge markings scared birds more than small markings did.C.Most birds ignored markings that looked like eyes.D.Birds were attracted to more colorful markings.4.Why does the professor mention a bird feeder?A.To suggest a strategy that may help the student carry out her task successfullyB.To recommend a place on campus that is suitable for the student's projectC.To discuss another experiment that has yielded surprising resultsD.To point out a problem in the design of the original experiment5.What can be inferred about the student when she says this:Professor:Well,we know that the markings do scare the birds but the idea that the spots looked like eyes is……well,that is just a commonly held belief.Student:So,that’s not even based on research?A.She is skeptical about what the professor just told her.B.She just realized that she designed her experiment incorrectly.C.She is worried that she misunderstood something that she read.D.She had assumed that there was scientific evidence for the theory.答案C C AB A D译文旁白:请听一段学生和其生物学教授之间的对话。

About all these,you don't usually hear too much about.Student:why not?Professor:Oh,it's a funny thing about academia.It thinks scholars would do research about every topic imaginable.But actually,some authors,some genres aren't respective very much.So not very much is written them...gothic literature,detective novels.Student:But that's what the conference was about?Professor:Yeah,pretty much.It was kind of subversive,I guess.But there's a whole wealth of knowledge out there just waiting to be explored.I find that really exciting.Student:Sure.Professor:Yeah.Anyway,you wanted to ask me about the final paper?Student:Yeah,which I see now ties into the theme of that conference,since we're supposed to write about a book from one of those lesser genres.I was wondering what about science fiction?Professor:Sure.Though it's a genre that's actually getting more and more respect within academia.There was even a talk at the conference about Jack Vance.Student:He wrote planet of adventure,right?Professor:Yeah.He's a well-researched respected science fiction writer.If you're interested in science fiction,you could look them up.That leads you to lots of other authors and lots of possibilities for your paper.Student:Great.I'm relieved you think that,that's a good genre to study.I'll find a book that interests me and do the paper on that.It seems like most people assume that science fiction is kind of like,I don't know,junk literature.Professor:Yes,a lot of people do.Student:Yeah,but I've read somethings and I think that some of it is really well written and it takes so much imagination to write SCI-Fi.Professor:Well,careful,though,there is a difference between science fiction and Scifi.Student:What do you mean?Professor:SCI fi,that's what you tend to see in films.It has all the spaceships and robots,and it focuses on exotic technology you know factor like special effects,at the expense of a well written story.I think a lot of people don't realize this and tend not to make a distinction.Student:Okay.Professor:But true science fiction is much more intellectual than that. The story is very important,and even though it might take place in an imaginary world,it might have exotic gadgets.The focus is on the plot.Science fiction creates metaphors about our world.And well what it means to be human.It's meant to getpeople to think about real things like history and human behavior.That's worthy of your time,but not SCI fi.Student:Great.Well.Can I let you know next week which book I want write about?Professor:Sure.题目1.Why does the man go to see the professor?A.To find out what the assignment is for the final paperB.To discuss a conference that the professor attendedC.To get a topic area approved for a class assignmentD.To find out the difference between science fiction and sci-fi2.What was unusual about the conference that the professor attended?A.It included presentations by many scholars who were not well known to the professor.B.It included presentations by students.C.It focused on authors who are respected by most scholars.D.It focused mostly on less popular literary genres.3.Why does the professor mention Jack Vance?[Click on2answers.]A.To encourage the man to write a paper about Planet of AdventureB.To support her point that some authors should be researched moreC.To indicate a way for the man to begin looking for a suitable topicD.To demonstrate that science fiction is gaining attention from scholars4.What is the man’s attitude toward science fiction?A.He is confident that it will become more respected.B.He disagrees with a commonly held opinion about it.C.He understands why it is not well respected.D.He is impressed that it includes exotic technology.5.According to the professor,what is a key difference between sci-fi and science fiction?A.Sci-fi is intellectually more challenging than most science fiction.B.Science fiction stories are often made into films.C.Science fiction places more importance on plot than sci-fi does.D.Science fiction makes little use of exotic technology.答案C D CD B C译文1.学生:上周末的会议如何,Miles教授?2.教授:很好,我听到了很多非常精彩的演讲,以及令人耳目一新的话题,而且这些话题平时都没机会听到。

One of the students who was signed up for the summer term at the field station next year won't be attending after all. Your name's first on the waiting list,so if you still want to do it, the space is available.MALE STUDENT: Aw, that's terrific!FEMALE PROFESSOR: You were also interested in doing an independent research project next summer, right?MALE STUDENT: Yeah, on salt-marsh restoration—but that was before, when I thought I wasn't going to get into the field station.FEMALE PROFESSOR: Well, you can still do it if you want. I looked over your application for the independent research project, and it looks strong: I approved it. And you’d have even more resources there at the field station, so…MALE STUDENT: The field station and an independent study.…But the summer term is a few weeks shorter than a regular term…FEMALE PROFESSOR: Wh—it's up to you. You'd have to work hard, but I think you can do very well. Professor Garfield—one of the professors over at the field station —MALE STUDENT: Yeah, I’ve heard of him.FEMALE PROFESSOR: Yes, well, Professor Garfield's been doing research on salt marshes for years, assessing human impact and methods of salt-marsh restoration. He's willing to oversee your project.MALE STUDENT: Wow! That’s too good an opportunity to pass up.FEMALE PROFESSOR: I thought you'd say that. When I spoke with Dr. Garfield, he suggested you take a particular course he'll be teaching here in the spring…it's called Advanced Topics in Salt-Marsh Management. The course looks at salt-marsh ecology in-depth, and it also focuses on factors that stress salt-marsh systems, and how to assess and monitor the level of stress.MALE STUDENT: And that background information'll feed right into my project on salt-marsh restoration. This is so great.FEMALE PROFESSOR: Oh, one more thing. Do you know John Arnold?MALE STUDENT: Not really. But he lives in my dorm. Why?FEMALE PROFESSOR: John's another ecology student who'll be at the field station next summer. I approved an independent research project for him, too. Initially he had the same concern as you. But anyway, his topic will be similar to yours. He’ll be researching how bridges and culverts that've been installed to allow tidal waters to move underneath roads—between the sea and the salt marshes—well, they're often too small…MALE STUDENT: I guess that'd result in not enough tidal water flowing into the marshes to maintain the natural vegetation, right?FEMALE PROFESSOR: Exactly. And he'll be looking at how to determine the right size. So I was thinking he might be a good choice for a summer roommate for you.题目1.What does the professor talk about with the man?A. Reasons the man should work at the field station next summer instead of working independentlyB. Reasons the man should change the focus of his independent study projectC. Projects that the man has permission to work on next summerD. Whether the man would be willing to cooperate on a project with another student2.What does Professor Garfield suggest the student do during the spring term?A. Take a particular classB. Modify his research topicC. Pay the field-station program feeD. Begin collecting data3.What do the student and John Arnold have in common? [Click on 2 answers.]A. They were both on the waiting list for the summer field program.B. They will both be doing research involving salt marshes.C. They often volunteer to help restore salt marshes.D. They live in the same university dormitory.4.What does the professor say is the main topic of John Arnold's research?A. Establishing size recommendations for salt marsh habitatsB. The relationship between bridge size and the flow of tidal watersC. How the vegetation of coastal habitats is affected by the restoration of salt marshesD. Ways of assessing levels of stress on salt-marsh habitats5.What can be inferred about the student when he says this:(MALE STUDENT) The field station and an independent study. …But the summer term is a few weeks shorter than a regular term …A. He cannot participate at the field station because of a prior commitment.B. He is unsure if he will earn enough course credits before the summer.C. He prefers to do the independent study instead of working at the field station.D. He thinks he may not have enough time to complete the required work over the summer.答案C A BD B D译文教授:我有些好消息要告诉你。

Lyotard,meant narrative as in a way of understanding the world.Female Student:Um.I uh.Male Professor:How can I explain this uh,grand narrative...It's...It's like an idea that that helps people make sense of history.Like when you picture the early middle ages in Europe,but what do you think?Female Student:Okay,like,um,there weren't a lot of cultural achievements then, lots of wars,but not a lot of important art or books or anything,like it was the Dark Ages.Male Professor:All right that that's a simple explanation of a time in history,right? Something that tends to be accepted or understood by most people.That makes it a grand narrative.Here's a more recent one.Scientific progress.Female Student:Ah,ha.Male Professor:People look at important inventions throughout history,light bulbs, cars,computers.And we generally believe that there's an underlying universal truth, that modern technology makes the world better.It's been the belief for so long that people accept it as being true.We don't even think of it much.We just accept that modern technology has that effect.Female Student:Well.it does make our lives better.Male Professor:All right.This is where Lyotard comes in.He believed we have to be careful about accepting ideas like that.He said these beliefs really oversimplify things and that we should think more critically.Are there times when technology would not be considered progressive where it doesn't bring improvement?Female Student:Oh.I don't know,uh,pollution,but I…Male Professor:No,no,that's good.It would be hard to say pollution was a form of improving the world.Female Student:But isn't pollution just a side effect of...?Oh!So it kind of goes against the grand narrative about technology.It complicates things.Male Professor:Yeah.And that's a basic idea behind post-modernism,that we should be skeptical of grand narratives,because there's a good chance they are not completely true.Female Student:You mean?Male Professor:Well,not to say there's no truth in grand narratives.Of course.It's just that nothing is as simple and straightforward as it seems.We should look critically at the things we assume.Female Student:Okay.I....I think I get it.Thanks.题目1.What are the speakers mainly discussing?A.A paper the woman is writing about a philosopherB.A disagreement between two philosophers about a termC.The interpretation of a term used in a philosopher’s workD.The professor’s opinion about a philosopher2.Why does the professor ask the woman about the early Middle Ages?A.To elicit an example of a grand narrativeB.To make a point about changes in technologyC.To encourage her to compare two grand narrativesD.To present an example that contradicts Lyotard’s idea3.What points does the professor make about scientific progress?[Click on2 answers.]A.Historically,people have believed that it improves the world.B.According to Lyotard,it has caused more harm than good.C.It is part of a grand narrative that has changed over time.D.According to Lyotard,its benefits should be questioned.4.Why does the woman mention pollution?A.To demonstrate the problem with Lyotard’s claimB.To ask how important it is in Lyotard’s argumentC.To illustrate the negative effects of technologyD.To introduce another grand narrative5.What does the professor mean when he says this:We don't even think of it much.We just accept that modern technology has that effect.Female Student:Well.it does make our lives better.Male Professor:All right.This is where Lyotard comes in.A.He is going to change the topic of the conversation.B.He is going to challenge the woman’s belief.C.He wants to clarify the time period in question.D.He wants to correct a statement he made earlier.答案C A AD C B译文1.听一个学生和哲学教授之间的对话。

托福听力讲座题目:环境科学课
托福考试中,如果听力部分能够拿到高分成绩,对于我们整体分数的提高,会有很大的帮助。

那么在备考中,托福听力的考试真题,对大家的帮助会更大。

下面小编为大家整理了托福听力讲座题目:环境科学课托福听力考试真题,供大家参考。

托福听力讲座题目:环境科学课
托福考试内容回忆:
环境科学
Environmental science class,讲的是nuclear fusion. 教授先说现在我们和核动力采用的都是核裂变,对吧。

而另一种,核聚变在太阳上最为常见。

但这并不意味着我们人类无法应用核聚变,因为氢以及氢的同位素在地球上很容易获得(考了为什么要提)。

男生提问说,但是我听说核聚变所需要的温度非常高,这怎么解决呢?教授说,现在很多国家在共同建造一个大型的核聚变机器(ITER)。

地点在法国。

核聚变需要巨大的能量,而且核聚变产生的plasma也是too hot to be contained. 为解决这个问题,科学家采用一种方法,让核聚变产生的plasma中的热量,提供核聚变所需要的能量。

也就是一个自己自足的机制。

ITER这个项目已经进行了20多年了,未来至少还要十年才能完成。

建成之后基本适用于research purposes,再到商用至少还要再过20年。

教授说我是挺不耐心的,I need short-term goals to motivate me.(重听题考了)

托福听力需要多多精听
每一轮考试下来,就有许多学生捶胸顿足,抢呼欲绝,大骂托福变态以此发泄。

哥们,别怪托福,虽然托福叫“我变态(iBT)”,但实际上它是一个非常人性化和有实用的考试,搞定他很EASY。

拿中国人最头痛的部分听力来说,很多学生的反应都是:
1.听力很难练,老师总是提醒我们多听,听不懂也要坚持听,无论什么时候都要听,这叫泛听,基础差的学生,这种听法,对考试来说没有效果。

2.因为听的基础差,所以缺乏归纳的能力,有些学生说我都听懂了,笔记也记得很周全,但就是选不出选项,这太痛苦了!
3.在选项时只选听到的,听不懂的全排除。

4.在听英语的时候,你会发现许多人有不同的姿势:
头一直向上伸着。

眼睛向上翻着。

用手托着耳朵。

屏住呼吸,等等。

以上几种现象,各位可以对照一下,看你属于几种?
要知道,托福考试是目前最有水平的英语语言考试了,那听力考试的选项干扰当然是有一定水平的,但是只要你掌握了它们的“七寸”,就可以在托福听力中游刃有余了。

首先,词汇量。

我不得不老生常谈地再次提起词汇量,听不懂文章就什么技巧也不要说了。

托福的听力既要求你能听懂文章的宏观结构,又要求你关注细节,所以蒙混过关的可能性不大,巨大的词汇量是基本保障。

其次,一定要练习精听。

我最不赞同的是让学生大量的泛听,在听力这件事上,“量”不如“质”。

语言这种东西,如果你听不懂是什么意思,那么听一百遍你还是不知道是什么意思。

一定要先弄懂文章的意思,分析吃透了文章,然后再字斟句酌地反复听,听到恶心为止。

还有许多的“野路子”训练方法,就不一一陈述了。

上述文章中主要表述了考生解答托福听力试题不受干扰项影响的相关解答方法,希望通过简单的阅读,大家都能够明白其中的道理。

托福听力的出题特点及答题要点
相比其他留学英语考试,新托福的听力考试有以下三大特征:
特色1:无预览
这一特色决定了考生在听材料时需要对局部的一些相关内容进行记录,然后结合记录的信息答题。

特色2:强度大
无加考状态下的听力部分为60分钟左右,其中包括2个conversations和4个lectures,这一形式对于习惯于传统做题思路的学生而言无疑是一个巨大的挑战。

特色3:学术化
新托福听力部分以学术场景围绕展开居多,主要是arts(如literature &authors, architecture),life science(如animal behavior, biochemistry), physical science(如alternative energy, weather & atmosphere), social science(如mass communication, history of urbanization & their economic and social effects)这四大类。

出题三原则:
原则1:基础理解力 (Basic Comprehension) (50%以上的题目) 此类题型要求考生理解全文主要观点(main ideas)和支持观点的具体细节(supporting details)。

原则2:实际交流理解力 (Pragmatic Understanding) (25%左右的题目)此类题型主要考察考生对语言交流的实际掌握能力。

听出讲话者讲某句话的目的(purpose);听出讲话者所呈现的态度(stance)。

原则3:综合理解能力 (Connecting Information) (25%左右的题目) 此类题型考查考生对上下文以及文章脉络、前后语言信息关联的掌握能力。

这种考察就要求考生更具备一定的听力实力,比如整合文中信息、根据前文下结论、更会考到推导的能力。

总体上考查考生的概括和推论的能力。

根据新托福听力部分的特色和出题原则,托福考试专家建议考生在听的过程中必须要明确三点:
要点1. 确定主题。

听力正式开始之前会有一个简短的instruction,之后屏幕上会出现一些和听力内容相关的信息,这些可以帮助我们确定下面所要听部分的核心话题。

例如,listen to a conversation between a professor and student in a biology class。

从这个介绍我们可以知道下面对话内容的场景:biology class,接下来可能就会出现相关的文字和图片。

通过这些文字和图片可以帮组确定主题,也可以让考生悬着的心慢慢落地。

或者当professor 刚开始说,in the last class时,脑中迅速做好,等待today’s class内容。

对于任何一个长段子,首先务必要把握的是文章的主旨和结构,只有主旨确定了,才有可能去理解细节,做推断。

要点2. 主题被什么结构展开。

考生对于全文结构的一个综合把握同样也是基于对文章主旨把握的基础之上的,对考生能力的最高相对要求,听力考试中的排序题和分类信息题考察的就是学生对全文结构的把握。

针对这一特征朗阁海外考试研究中心建议学生强化自己记笔记的能力。

当然笔记不是越全越好,要有的放矢,把握ETS思路:we test the very important details but not every。

例如在分类信息题笔记中应注意记录按什么分类,以及每一类的特征;排序题的笔记注意表明步骤和逻辑顺序信号词后的内容,例如,First ..., after that…, let’s look at the ....etc。

另外,听力过程中个人不建议走极端不记笔记,特别是在lecture 部分,因为4-6分钟的课堂演讲绝对超过了普通正常人脑的瞬时记忆负荷。

要点3. 用什么细节支持主题。

基于ETS考察内容是和主旨有关的重要细节。

我们在听的过程中需要把握的往往是和考点相联系的重要信号词。

比如说表示因果的so, thus等词对应于细节题中常考察的因果题。

而常见的和信号词相关的考点有逻辑时间顺序、举例、对比、转折、强调、因果、总结、定义、建议、等。

总的来讲,新托福考试对于考生而言不光是“能力”的考查,同时也是“心力”与“体力”的挑战。

我们考生务必踏实备考,在练习中真正摸透ETS思路,掌握答题技巧,那么最终在这一场持久战中必然有所收获。
