2012托福口语真题解析： About spare time and money

2012托福口语真题解析： About spare timeand money在备考新托福考试口语的过程中，总有一些是我们熟悉的，但是也有些棘手的问题，例如当题目问：你的业余时间是如何度过呢?或者，如果你有一大笔钱，怎么花呢?让我们来看一下如何准备这些问题吧。

What do you do in your spare time? (05. 12.3; 07.7.14考题; 与07.8.17类似)answer：I‘m kind of indoor type， so most often I read. I’m interested in reading all kinds of books and newspaper or magazine articles， especially those on current issues. I just want to keep myself informed of what‘s going on in the world.Now I spend most of my spare time reading on the Internet by browsing the screen. It’s fast though it might do harm to my eyes. It‘s just fast and I can read fast. I also watch TV， especially the NBA game ‘cause I’m a big basketball fan， even though I‘m not verygood at playing basketball myself. I love to watch and I will get excited and overjoyed whenever I see Yaoming do a nice shot.If you unexpectedly received a large amount of money， what would you do with it? Would you spend it for practical purposes or simply for fun? (06. 11.18;08.3.2考题)Sample answer：If I got a lot of money， the first thing I would like to do is to go for overseas study. I have always wanted to finish my university in a different country. When I was in junior high， one of my classmates got a chance to go to the USA. At that time there were not many families who could afford their child to do that. To me， it was also a dream， and the dream has been planting in my mind until today. Therefore， I would definitely do this first if I had enough money. Then，I would give the rest of my money to my parents so that they could live a better and easier life. These two things above are what I really would like to do if I had a lot of money.总之，对于托福口语考试，我们不能毫无准备，但是也不能人云亦云，我希望大家在明晰了以上的范文之后，可以好好准备考试。

Which of these two methods do you prefer and why? Include details and examples in your explanation.I prefer to be taught by an experienced teacher. It is becauseFirst of all, I can have an easier access to a huge amount of knowledge and information ranging from history to biology.

This can render me a good opportunity to practice my English, and eventually put me in a favorable position in the upcoming competition.Also, I can abroad my horizon during the whole process. For instance, I can have a better understanding of the meaning of life and the importance of dream and future.

Others prefer to stop reading whenever they lose interest. Which method of reading do you think is better and why?Personally, I prefer to stop reading whenever they lose interest. It is becauseFirst of all, it is convenient and I would be able to save tons of time. Specifically, it takes me only minutes to read a book I interest in. However, if I’d like to keep reading a book until it finished, I will spend at least 5 hours. I think spending the time saved on reading books on history or chemistry is considered to be the better way for me to relax/learn more knowledge.Also, I can abroad my horizon during the whole process. For instance, if I read more books I like. I can have a better understanding of the meaning of life and the importance of dream and future. So, I will pay more attention to my academic performance and also make great contribution to our society in thefuture.In addition, it is because of the peer pressure. You know, everyone in my class chooses to stop reading if they lost interest. I don’t wanna be isolated from them. Therefore I choose to do the same thing and involve with them.21.

祝同学们托福取得理想成绩！Conversation1:主题：男生去service office咨詢男生听一个seminar的时候得知在附近的park有志愿者活动，就想参加.女老师开始跟他解释有什么工作男生听了不知道要选哪一个学生说他以后想当中学的science teacher，女老师就说有两个program他可以做来帮助他以后当老师，他选了后者，研究野生动物迁徙的。

这周六这个学生去体验一下，但是得自己出钱坐bus，如果满意的话下周提交正式文件成为正式志愿者。

最后问男生礼拜六会去干什么。

CONVERSATION 2主题：男生去咨詢大一的时候上考古学课的教授问教授还记不记得他他就是那个刚开始还对这个女教授教的课不怎么感兴趣的那个。

女教授就说我记得，你最后的paper还是one of the best有题问教授为什么提到这个学生的paper然后学生就说写了那个paper之后呢他就对anthropology特别感兴趣就去学了art history说他现在在学艺术史，最近学到在墨西哥和法国同时出现的某个史前文明很类似，甚至还影响到了毕加索的作品，男生就觉得不同地方同一时期的雕塑家也没有怎么交流过就创作了这么相似的作品很神奇自己想了解的是这个可是课上不教这个，又觉得这是考古学的范畴，就来问教授转来学考古怎么样，教授说你说的这东西好像和人类学更相关吧，提及交叉学科。

LECTURE 1主题：英国去南极探险家被质疑又有人来说他是因为气候太差结果没能回来，后来他的妻子就把他的diary给出版了然后就成了one of the beat seller整个英国都把这个人当英雄,大人孩子都特别喜欢他教授有说道当时是WWI怎么怎么了可是来了另外一个人说这个人没去探险成功是因为他的不好的领导能力同时没有用雪橇犬然后又来了个叫Susan得人说其实就是因为气候不好因为他研究了这个人的一些date发现那个weather特别糟糕说什么最后那个人三月份才会station什么的教授就说“you might think why it was so late”有问就说教授为什么这么说LECTURE 2主题：Sleep 说一般大家都觉得人要睡连续7-8 个小时这是有个男生举手说他每天就睡5-6个小时然后他有个室友一天要睡9-10个小时教授就说你说的太好了说以前的人们还有first sleep和second sleep人们天黑了去睡一会然后醒来聊会天再去睡到早上天亮然后研究就发现其实是根据光来决定的那个时候没有电灯还说有个什么research照了一群人最后验证了这个观点还举了猫的例子说猫每天都睡可是都是睡一会起来玩一会Sleep stages and other characteristics of sleep are commonly assessed by polysomnography in a specialized sleep laboratory. Measurements taken include EEG of brain waves, electrooculography (EOG) of eye movements, and electromyography (EMG) of skeletal muscle activity. In humans, the average length of the first sleep cycle is approximately 90 minutes and 100 to 120 minutes from the second to the fourth cycle,which is usually the last one. Each stage may have a distinct physiological function and this can result in sleep that exhibits loss of consciousness but does not fulfill its physiological functions (i.e., one may still feel tired after apparently sufficient sleep).Scientific studies on sleep have shown that sleep stage at awakening is an important factor in amplifying sleep inertia. Alarm clocks involving sleep stage monitoring appeared on the market in 2005. Using sensing technologies such as EEG electrodes or accelerometers, these alarm clocks are supposed to wake people only from light sleep.LECTURE 3主题：Astronomy，讲土星的一个卫星Enceladus，说上面有水。
