托福真题第一套

Q1: Talk about a book you have read that was important to you for some reason. Explain why the book was important to you. Give specific details and examples to explain your answer.

解题思路一:重要性来自于书的内容

●TS: General Introduction of the book (Name, author, time you read the book)

●Give a simple account of the book.

●Key Word: Important

-Interesting: draws you in.

-knowledge you have learnt

-enlightenment you have gained

●Conclusion: emphasize the IMPORTANCE

●Sample Response:

3 months ago, I read a book called The Five People You Meet in Heaven written by Mitch Albom. It recounts the life and death of a simple yet dignified old man, Eddie. After dying in a accident trying to save a little girl in an amusement park, Eddie finds himself in heaven where he encounters five people who have significantly affected his life. The 5 lessons Eddie learnt about brotherhood, sacrifice, forgiveness, love and purpose of life have also enlightened me. That book changed my attitude towards life and death. It taught me to cherish life more than ever.

解题思路二:重要性来自于书的意义

●TS: General Introduction of the book (Name of the book, how/where did you get the book) ●Give a simple account of the process of getting the book.

●Key Word: Important

-It was a souvenir given by an important person

-It was very difficult to get the book (e.g. Limited edition)

-You got the book from a special event as a reward.

●Conclusion: emphasize the IMPORTANCE

●Sample Response

On my book shelf, there is a hard-covered book-Hamlet-that I have been treasured for years.It was given to me as a reward for my progress in Language Arts course by my high school English teacher Mr Cave. In my 10th grade, I developed a special interest in classical literature. I was crazy about Shakespeare’s play despite my weak English foundation/the lack of English proficiency. Over the 2 years, I have studied hard and improved my Language Arts’ grade from a C to an A. Therefore, my Mr Cave gave me this book in my graduation day and told me to keep my interest in classical literature. This book is very significant to me because it has become the motivation for my pursuit in English Literature in University.

Q2. Some people believe that TV has had a positive influence on society. Others believe it has had a negative influence on the society. Which do you agree with and why. Use details and examples to explain your opinion.

解题思路一: Positive Influence

●TS: State your stand

●R1:Positive influence: focus on the main function of TV:

-dissemination of information and knowledge

-entertainment

●R2:Negative influence (just mention)

●Conclusion

●Sample Response:

This is indeed a controversial issue. Form my point of view; TV has far more pros than cons. Firstly, television has long been regarded as a tool to disseminate in formation and knowledge. People watch news on TV to know about what’s happening in the country and the world. Children watch Animal World or National Geography to gain more knowledge. At the same time, TV is also the most prevalent and effective device to entertain the masses.Although there’s no denying that TV sometimes delivers negative information to people, the public or government censorship can ensure the quality of our TV programs today. Therefore, generally speaking, TV has had a positive influence on society.

解题思路二: Negative Influence

●TS: State your stand

●R1:Positive influence (just mention)

●R2:Negative influence

-Lack of censorship→bad TV program→influence social ideology

-Make people lazy/unhealthy

●Conclusion

●Sample Response:

In my opinion, unfortunately, television has had much more negative influence on society than positive ones. Despite the fact that TV has kept us entertained, there are many negative elements that have infiltrated into our daily life via TV. For example, the modern Cinderella stories have created many money-worshiping young ladies who dream to marry rich guys and enjoy all the luxuries in the world. Uncensored TV programme with violent and sexual content can misguide teenagers who are very susceptible to those detrimental influences. Besides, long time watching TV will negatively affect our eyesight and health. It has become the contributing factor for many illnesses like obesity, especially in the more developed countries.

Q3 Intro: Centerville College is planning to purchase a sculpture for its campus. A student wrote a letter to the school newspaper to oppose the plan.

The instruction before you read the passage is important since it gives you an overview of what the passage is about.

The passage

Letter in the Centerville College News

The administration has announced plans to acquire a new sculpture for campus. We should all oppose this plan. The university’s poor financial condition led it to increase the price for campus housing and tuition by 15% this year. Surely then it is in no financial position to purchase such an expensive sculpture. Moreover, just look at the sculpture: several 60-foot long steel plates, jutting out of the earth at odd angels! It’s so large. It’ll take up all the green space in front of the campus center! This is public space that should be reserved for student to use.

The conversation:

M: Did you see Paul’s letter in the paper about the new sculpture?

W: Yeah, but it was totally unconvincing. His reasons for opposing the plan are just totally off. I’m glad we will finally have some nice art on campus. I’d like to shake the donor’s hand and say ‘thank you’!

M: What do you mean ‘the donor’?

W: You didn’t know? An anonymous donor is paying the bill for most of the sculpture.

M: Not the university?

W: No. His assumptions about who’s paying for, they are all wrong.

M: Still, I wonder if he has a point about the space it’ll take up.

W: Well, you know why Paul is upset. He and his friends are always there on the lawn right where the sculpture will be, kicking around a soccer ball. They’ll just have to us e another part of the campus to play.

M: Oh, so he just doesn’t want to have to move.

W: Yeah. For him, its sculpture verses convenience.

Explain why the woman disagrees with the reasons expressed in the letter.

Preparation Steps: 4:6

Step 1: Read the letter and take note of the main ideas. Omit redundant details such as numbers and people’s name. (Those may be important in Listening section). Try to form pictures in your mind to help you memorize the content of the letter. (e.g. The 2nd reason: imagine一群本来在草地上踢球的学生很无奈的看着一个从天而降的巨大雕塑把他们的草坪占据了…)

Step 2: Identify how many reasons and disagreements there are in the letter and conversation. Pay special attention to signaling words/sentences because they give you an idea about how many points you must include. (e.g. ‘Moreover’ in the letter.)

Step 3: Take notes on paper while listening to the conversation. Fast and clear. Don’t expect to

fully spell out all the words you’ve heard. Just use your own spelling so that you can pronounce the word. If you didn’t manage to take down some words that you think are important, don’t try to recall, move on and listen to the rest of the conversation. 千万不要为了捡芝麻而丢了西瓜!

Step 4: Organize your thoughts in the 30 seconds to make a mental outline of how to answer the question. Try to rephrase the words or sentences in the letter and the conversation.

Answering the question:

●Reason1 in the letter.

●Disagreement 1 in the conversation

●Signal words/sentence for transaction

●Reason2 in the letter.

●Disagreement 2 in the conversation

●Conclusion

Sample Response:

The first reason given by Paul (if you can’t remember the name, you can just omit this) in the letter against the purchasing of the new sculpture is that he assumes the financial difficulties faced by the university makes the sculpture too costly to buy.However,the woman disagrees because most of the price of the sculpture is paid by a donor. Hence the university will only bear a small sum of money.Besides,Paul also suggests that the huge sculpture will occupy the space in the campus which is supposed to be reserved for students’ activities. The woman dismissed this point because she knows that Paul is just reluctant to find another place to play soccer with his friends if the lawn they used to play on is occupied by the sculpture.Further more, the woman thinks that the sculpture is a nice art that can actually make the campus prettier.

Q4:

Passage

Group think

One process by which groups may make bad or irrational decisions is know as group think. Individual members of a group attempt to conform their opinions to what they believe to be the group consensus even though the result may be negative. There are many reasons why groupthink happens. These include the desire to be liked, fear of losing a job, or even not wanting to be the one employee delaying a decision that seems inevitable. These kinds of implicit pressures to conform lead group members to ultimately make decision that each, by himself or herself, might normally not make.

Lecture

So, let me tell you about my own experience with this when I was working for a computer company a couple of years ago. One day a coworker and I suggested that we should give our computer a design make-over, make them look more up-to-date. Market research was showing that new customers said they would be more interested in buying our computers if they looked cooler. Our technology was advance, but the outside design looked really old-fashioned. At first, more than half of the group supported us. There were a few senior mangers they are though who didn’t support the design change.’One of the senior manager said, ‘Our focus has always been on technology. Changing the look is unnecessary cost.Almost immediately, some of our supporters changed their minds. Even my coworker changed his mind.When I asked him why after the meeting, he told me he didn’t want to make a bad impression on the senior managers. He thought that disagreeing with them might jeopardize his chances of getting a promotion, by not looking like a team player. ‘What about me?’ ‘Ehm…I hate to admit it but after a few hours of discussion I started wondering if it worth everybody’s time to argue about this. As more people sided with senior management I started to feel that I was the only one holding-up the vote. Everyone else seems to think change was unnecessary so I voted against my own idea in the end. So we unanimously decided to stay with the current old-looking design, but this decision ended up costing us a lot of money.That same year, our competitor came out with a new design that attracted some of our customers and prevented us from profiting on potential new customers.

Explain group think and its effects using the example of the computer company.

Preparation

Step 1: Read the passage and take note of the main ideas. Omit elaborations on details such as examples.

Step 2: Pay special attention to technical terms and explanations. If c an’t quite understand, try to guess first and wait for more illustration in the lecture later on.

Step 3: Picture a short skit in your mind when you listen to the lecture/story told by the professor. Step 4: Listen to similarities between the lecture an d the passage you’ve read just now, especially

the examples given to prove a point. (e.g. the answers given by the professor’s coworker when the professor asked him for the reasons for his changing of mind)

Step 5: Take notes. Make sure that if you know the professor is going to recount a story, you should have the story recorded in chronological order. Outline of the story must be clear. Pay attention to signaling words.

Step 6: Organize your thought in the 30 seconds to make a mental outline of how to answer the question. Try to rephrase the words or sentences in the letter and the conversation.

Answering the question:

●Definition of group think

●Example of the computer company

●Link the example to the effect about group think

Sample Response:

Group think means that the individuals in a group all agree about something which may not be correct. They are under pressure to conform and make irrational decisions that they seldom make alone.The professor gives an example of him working in a computer company years ago. At first, his coworker and he suggested a proposal to up-grade the outlook of their product. The supporters changed their minds as soon as they realize that the senior managers did not like the plan.His partner also gave up the original thought because he was afraid that if he insisted, he will leave bad impression on others. Despite the consensus we had reached about the proposal, our ultimate product was a failure. Therefore group think sometimes will results in negative results.

Q5. Conversation between 2 students

M: Hey Marry! How’s your volunteer work going? You still involved in the after school programme with the elementary school kids?

W: Yeah, but I’ve got a problem. I am supposed to be driving a bunch of them to the zoo tomorrow, and I am supposed to rent a van for the trip, but I waited too long to call the rental agency to reserve one and now it turns out they don’t have any van available for tomorrow. I don’t know what to do. These kids will be really disappointed if their trip gets canceled.

M: Hmm…well doesn’t one of your friends on campus have a car? I mean couldn’t you borrow it for the day?

W: Yeah, probably, but I need to borrow 2 cars or there wouldn’t be enough space for all the kids. That’s why I was going to rent the van and then I need to find somebody else to drive too. I can’t drive 2 cars by myself.

M: Yeah, that’s true. Well, I’m sure you can probably find a volunteer or if you want to save of the trouble of hunting down the second driver, what about public transportation?Check the bus schedule. I guess there’s a bus lane that goes right pass the zoo.

W: Yeah, that’s possibility, but I don’t know. It might be a real challenge supervising the kids on the bus. Sometimes they are handful when they get excited. It’s an option though.

The speaker discussed 2 possible solutions to the woman’s problem. Briefly summarize the problem. Then state which solution you recommend and explain why.

●This question involves a difficult choice to make. Most of the times, both solutions seem

feasible. You can choose either one you are more comfortable with elaborating on.

●Base on the potential problems related to the 2 solutions to think about more pros and cons of

each solution.

Answering the question:

●Talk about the problem.

●Introduce all solutions.

●Choose one solution

●R1 for supporting the solution

●R2 for not supporting the other solution

●Conclusion

Sample Response:

The woman is supposed to drive a group of primary school kids to the zoo tomorrow, but she has called the rental agency too late to rent a van. She does not want to disappoint the kids by canceling the trip.Hence, her friend has given her two possible solutions: borrowing a car or taking a bus.I prefer the first solution because it shouldn’t be very difficult to find someone who has cars available and can drive for the kids as a volunteer for a one day trip only. Besides, primary school kids are really hard to supervise in public transports, especially when they get excited. Nevertheless, she should still consider taking bus as the last resort lest she fails to find cars and drivers in such a short period of time.

Q6. Now listen to a part of a lecture in a psychology class. The professor is discussing the mathematical capabilities of babies.

Scientists have learnt some interesting things about the intellectual abilities of babies. They say that there is evidence that babies as young as 5 months old can do basic arithmetic - that they can add!Scientists think that babies know that one plus one equals two and not one. The evidence is indirect because obviously you can’t ask a 5-month-old baby to add up some numbers for you. So they devised an experiment. In this experiment, a baby is shown a doll on a table. Okay, so the baby looks at the doll then the researcher lowers a screen in front of the doll, so now the doll hidden behind the screen. But the baby has already seen the doll so known it’s there. Then the researcher takes a second doll and very obviously places it behind the screen with the first one. So now you have 2 dolls behind the screen right? Well, No, because what the researchers did was they secretly took away one of the dolls. And then when they raise the screen back up the baby expects to see 2 dolls, but there’s only one there. And guess what? The baby surprised, it expected 2 but it only sees one. How could the researchers tell that the baby surprised? They recorded the baby’s eye movements on camera and we know that when a baby is surprised by something, a loud noise or an unexpected flash of light many be. Its stares at where the noise or light is coming from and that’s what the babies in the experiment did. They stared coz the baby knows if you add one doll and one doll, you should have 2 dolls. So when it sees 1 doll, then it’s stares because it’s surprised.

Using the research explained by the professors what the scientists have learnt about the mathematical abilities of babies.

Answering the question:

●State about what the scientists have learnt.

●Introducing the experiment

●Account of the experiment. Pay special attention to transition and signaling words.

●Conclusion

Sample Response:

The scientists have learnt that babies as young as 5-month old can do basic arithmetic/simple addition. They have come to this conclusion from researches that explore babies’ mathe matical abilities. In one experiment, babies were shown a doll on a table and then the doll is blocked by a screen. After that, they watch the researches put a second doll behind the screen. At that point of time, the babies expect to see 2 dolls once the screen is removed. Therefore, when they only see one doll left on the table after the screen is raised up, they started because they were surprised. This research proves that baby knows that one plus one equals two.

This summer, the tables will be exchanged for new personal study cubicles---small, one-person desks enclosed by walls. These new units will allow students to have privacy and work in isolation and will therefore eliminate noise in the library so students can concentrate. Additionally, the cubicles will enable the library to accommodate the recent increase in the number of students attending our university. Although the current tables seat six students each, they make poor use of the available floor space. The cubicles, on the other hand, are designed for maximum space efficiency, and the library can therefore add 50 new seats. The man expresses her opinion about the upcoming change. State her opinion and explain the reasons she gives for holding that opinion. Task4

实例讲解托福独立口语高分方法

实例讲解托福独立口语高分方法 托福独立口语虽然时间很短,答题时间只有短短45秒,但是如果大家想要拿到高分,也需要尽可能将内容说的充实。下面就和大家分享实例讲解托福独立口语高分方法,希望能够帮助到大家,来欣赏一下吧。 口语高分攻略丨实例讲解托福独立口语高分方法 一.托福独立口语需要积累答题素材 一般学生讲口语的大脑活动是先用中文思考,其次是根据中文所想的意思翻译成英文单词,再把这些单词根据主谓宾等语法知识组装成句,最后考虑单词的发音、语音语调等连词成句。而口语比较好的同学往往直接想到的是英文表达,然后是chunks,就是我们常说的语块,因为已经是积累好的句子,不需要再考虑语法等因素,所以可以直接脱口而出。这就像电脑开机一样,程序越少,速度越快。在考试之前多积累地道的语料而不是一味的选择网上的模版,才能更加从容的面对考试来取得高分。 比如官方真题Official21 Task 1: Talk about an important news event that happened recently in your country. Describe the event and explain why it was important.很多学生看见“news event”就 大脑一片空白,不知从何说起,或者脑海里只有中文意思,对于

新闻类的话题难以在短时间内直接用英文表述出来。以中国首架自制民用飞机C919举例: China’s first home-made large passenger jet was scheduled to take off in Shanghai, the narrow-body passenger plane made by state-run Comac as a triumph of indigenous innovation. 也可以说“一带一路”政策,One Belt and One Road initiative. 二.实例讲解托福独立口语细节叙述方法 这种方法通常当作第二个supporting details,相当于“for example”,可以并列两个同类或异类的事物,描述其种类繁多。以“Do you prefer to eat at home or eat out”为例:As for me, I prefer to eat out in various of restaurants, cuz it has wide section of food, from authentic Chinese cuisine to western-style food, from savory dishes to bland snacks, hence loads of mouth-watering food can meet my appetite and leave lasting impression on me. 这里“authentic Chinese cuisine”指的是地道的中国菜,一般学生只会想到traditional Chinese food, 而好吃第一个想到的词就是“delicious”, 需要注意替换词的积累。而对于某事使我留下深刻印象会表述为“sth. leaves deep impression on me” 而对于native speaker来讲,”lasting”才是更加地道的表达方法。 再以20XX.08.27 Task 1一个经典三选一题型为例。

Time - watch the movie at home. 在家看电影是最省时间的方式了。如果去电影院看电影,家住得远的还要大老远跑到市中心去看。为了看热门电影,还要排

长队买票,买完票后还要等好久才能看到电影。从这些经历来看,确实,在家看电影也不错。 I prefer to watch the movie at home because of the matter of time. I mean, watching movies at theatre is time-consuming. Once, when I planned to watch the movie at cinema, I have to reach there at least one hour in advance. What’s more, for those box office movies, I have to wait a long queue to get the ticket and wait until the beginning of the movie. Money - helps to save money. 在家看省钱。不出家门,就能看到电影。而去电影院看电影,路上要花钱pay for the transport,买票要花钱fees for tickets,看电影还要带着点零食和饮料money spend on snacks and beverages,这样一罗列,确实在家能省好多。 Another reason is the matter of cost. I mean, watching at theatre costs more than at home. To be more specific, I have to pay for the transport and there are fees for tickets. Sometimes, I have to spend money on snacks and beverages. So I think watching at home is a more cost-effective way. 通过以上两个段落,把时间和金钱两个观点整合起来,那我们就可以得到一个完整的独立题的逻辑表达了。

(1) 盲目地记录一些*细节,而忽略了对*整体架构和主要信息的把握。 (2) 缺乏对*内容进行归纳总结的能力,把握不住*的重点。 (3) 不能通过阅读短文从而找出接下来要陈述时所能扩展的点或者说是可以说的点。 综合口语听力部分笔记误区: (1) 在这部分中,大家好走两个极端路线,一是对主体解释的理论部分作了过多的陈述,二是对*举例部分描述太多,没有把这两个部分的比例合理安排好。 (2) 速记的能力有待提高,而且本身考试的时间也很有限。 (3) 考前没有做充足的准备,没有有计划地进行相关针对性练习,所以导致对题型不了解或者是做题速度上不去。 (4) 有的托友本身的听力、语法、词汇的基础就比较弱,缺乏听力的技巧,譬如对signal words所透露的关键信息的把握。 托福口语技巧解析三口语笔记怎么做 1.独立口语笔记

Task3 Letter in the Centerville College News The administration has announced plans to acquire a new sculpture for campus. We should all oppose this plan. The university’s financial pool financial condition led it to increase the price for campus housing and tuition by 15% this past year. Surely then it is in no financial position to purchase such an expensive sculpture. Moreover, just look at the sculpture: several 60-foot long steel plates, jutting out of the earth at odd angles. It ’s so large; it’ll take up all the green space in front of the campus center! This is public space that should be reserved for students to use. Explain why the woman disagrees with the reasons expressed in the letter. Task4

Use details and examples to explain your opinion. Task3 University Should Pave Running Trails The university has about three miles of unpaved dirt running trails that pass through the forest near campus. I think these trails should be paved with cement. One reason for paving the trails would be to increase their safety. When it rains, the dirt turns to mud and becomes very slippery, so the runners who use them can slip and fall. Pavement would solve this problem. Also, paving would make the trails look nicer, which would encourage students to use them. Bumps in the trial would be smoothed out and weeds would be paved over, making the trail more attractive to runners. Sincerely Sally Jacobs. The man expresses his opinion about the proposal in the student’s letter. Briefly summarize the proposal. Then state her opinion about the proposal and explain the reasons he gives for holding that opinion. Task4 Experiment Effect
