2018年5月6日托福考试真题解析！

5月第一场托福

听力还是不负众望的难出新高度

快来看看都考了什么逆天的题目吧

1.动物灭绝

有几个不同的理论来说猛犸象还是什么的大型动物为啥灭绝。一是说人类捕猎导致，二是说气候变化导致水食物变少，最后又跳出一个人说在座的都是垃圾，都忽略了重要的一点，生态圈是环环相扣的，每一个小变化都会导致蝴蝶效应，所以是上述理论结合起来的结果，他的理论也弥补了上述理论的不足，比如理论一没有大量捕杀遗迹来支撑。

2.Economic Decline in Europe during the Fourteenth Century

14世纪欧洲经济的衰退。首先因为气温变低，虽然就低了那么几度，但是稍微一点温度的变化都会对农业产生很大的影响，由于气温低了影响了农业，农作物产量就会下降，农民的生活就变得很惨，于是就拿不出钱，农业不好，资本又少了。然后因为东亚一个M帝国的崛起，M重视信仰轻视商业，因此欧洲向亚洲的贸易之路就逐渐衰退了，他们开始向大西洋和非洲发展。

3.Olmec culture

在Mesopotamia area 发现了重要的ceremonial sites.东部high lands 有一些sacred precinct。里面重要的art and architecture. Kunze axe的发现帮助确立了这是Olmec culture.一开始发现的时候，研究者就十分确定这属于Mesopotamia地区，但是因为既不属于埃及文明也不属于希腊文明，使得研究者困惑了很长时间其起源。后来结合一系列其它文物的发现证明属于Olmec 文化。而且我们今天所认为的Maya calendar 其实是Olmec人发明的。Olmec culture存在一套表示文化的consistent code，例如Kunze axe 里面也运用的howling baby’s face 就一直沿用至今天，而期间没有发生太大的变化。

4.Ocean Acidification

讲述海洋酸化的原因，是化石燃料的燃烧产生更多的CO2，CO2和海水作用生成碳酸，如今海水的酸化程度比工业革命之前高出了30%。进入结果影响部分，表明海水酸化对海洋生物造成影响，以白垩纪恐龙的灭绝事件来做类比。恐龙灭绝时海洋生物也受到影响，但奇怪的是，一些海洋浮游生物(plankton)灭绝了，另一些活下来了，浅水的贝壳类(shellfish)灭绝了，但深水的贝壳类活下来了，并且珊瑚几乎消失了。因为小行星撞击地球带来很多硫酸盐(sulfate)，这些硫酸盐和大气中的氧气作用生成硫酸(sulfuric acid)，这些硫酸以降雨的方式落到海洋，将海水酸化，由此溶解了海洋生物的碳酸钙壳，造成含有碳酸钙壳的浮游生物灭绝，而不含有碳酸钙壳的浮游生物就不受影响；并且海洋的浅水部分酸化，导致浅水贝壳灭绝，而深水部分尚没有酸化，所以深水贝壳不受影响。碳酸对海洋生物的碳酸钙壳的影响类似于硫酸。海洋生物的碳酸钙壳分为两种形式：霰石(aragonite)和方解石(calcite)，霰石是方解石溶解速度的2倍，所以由霰石组成的生物壳更容易受到海水酸化的影响，例如珊瑚就是这样。又提到一个例子，牡蛎(oyster)，成年牡蛎的碳酸钙壳虽然是方解石结构，但是幼年牡蛎(oyster larvae)的碳酸钙壳却是霰

石结构，因此很多牡蛎幼体无法忍受酸化海水而被溶解(dissolve)，尤其是遇上深层海水上扬(upwell)，带来大量冷水，在冷水低温下碳酸钙壳的溶解速度更快。人类渔业的影响，很多牡蛎养殖受到重创，同时其他商业鱼类也由于没有了浮游生物提供食物、没有了珊瑚提供栖息地而数量下降，还有小丑鱼等鱼类由于海水酸化而丧失气味辨别能力，本来可以利用气味躲避捕猎者，结果这些小丑鱼丧失该能力、死亡率大大增加。

5.Disappearing Fungi

目前已经发现很多fungi但是很多没有发现都没有记录就灭绝了。(此处有题有的选项是什么compare 已知的新的灭绝更多?反正各种比较好像都不太对)然后说总的fungi的数量减少了平均每公里(大概是)的密度和种类也少了(此处有题)还讲了fungi灭绝对forest有不好的影响 fungi比tree在吸收mineral方面更好，所以可以帮助tree(此处有题)。还比较了fungi和其他aerial plants区别，fungi没有covering所以更容易灭亡好像是(恶劣环境下)fungi还可检测周围环境是否是toxic(好像是)大概是如果有fuel leak它们会死。还举了一个动物or植物B什么也能察觉泄漏。最后一段说了在美国，食用mushroom和fungi之类的并不多，所以对于fungi的减少并没有太多记录，但是这并不能代表在美国fungi就没有减少。related 头the lichen，lichen在decline，由此推出fungi也在减少。

6.The First Eyes

讲eyes是什么时候形成的，主要看怎么定义eyes，如果认为eyes是器官，那就是要在细胞分裂以后，但很多protists很早就可以通过光线调整日常活动，比如新陈代谢等（有题，问protist的描述不包括，选生存在水环境中）。然后举了个典型例子，且由于这些现代的protists跟记载的ancient的极其相似，所以估计很早就有eyes了。（有题，问相似说明什么，选exist for long）。给了个eyes的定义，然后指出这个定义解释了eyes的基本功能，但是存在漏洞，没有涉及到一些其他因素，比如眼部运动，图像等等。但eyes一开始的功能也就这样了，且有些动物一开始就是有眼睛的。（有题，问early eyes 的描述，选开始进化时就可以detect）。Precambrian时期，动物稀少，证据不多，但5千万年后的Cambrian时期，就有好多动物了。（有题，问 Cambrian时期特征，选 abundant animals）第四段：接着一个 Cambian时期后的 deposit（叫Burges Shale）为origin of eyes提供了 direct evidence，指的是这个 deposit 里面发现的软体动物化石（有题，问关于Burges Shales哪个描述不正确，选有Precambrian和Cambrian的化石）第五段：在 Burges 化石的动物中，部分是有eyes的，跟现代生物的眼睛长蛮像，然后解释有些shrimp和crab的眼睛长在stalk上面，这样视野更广，有的眼睛是长身体表面的，比如有个Opa的动物，还举了一些眼睛比较特殊的动物的例子。（有题，问为什么要提stalk上长眼睛，选跟现代生物像）。虽然上述化石表明眼睛存在很久，但这里发现的眼睛应该不是最原始的，所以就定位eyes的origin大概是在Cambian和Burges之间。（有题，问first eyes的信息，选出现在Burges 之前）

7.Industry during the Rome Empire

马帝国的工业，开始说是农业是主要的，然后讲了陶器的生产，然后是raw material ，说是工业在罗马帝国时代不太发达，主要是upper上层阶级不支持，说是一直用animal和人力，不用更新后提供energy的设备。

社交型昆虫的分工

第一段还是第二段介绍了一种蜂，依据体型分类，不过一般的蜂除了女王特别大别的蜂体型都差不多，没有显差异，很多昆虫是靠年龄来分工的。第三段先说了黄蜂，它们是按年龄分的，不过他们在同一年

龄阶段的工作比较随意，就是同样年龄的蜂既可能负责这项工作也可能负责那项工作。然后说了蜜蜂，有比较明确的不同年龄层的分工，年轻蜜蜂专门负责养小蜜蜂，大点的蜜蜂负责外出什么的。第四还是第五段说科学家想知道他们的分工会不会改变，所以他们改变了一种蜂的年龄层结构，然后发现年纪更大的老蜜蜂把巢内的工作让给年轻蜜蜂，然后马上转去巢外的工作了，所以说明他们的分工是可变的。

8.明治维新时期日本经济的发展

本来政府没有建立系统的机制管理市场什么的，农民的税收不靠个人上交，是以村（village)为单位的，而且也没有什么统一的标准，基本就是粮价上涨的时候农民就要交更多税所以他们要卖更多的粮食，很苦，后来建立了统一的标准，农民在粮价上涨的时候就可以获得更多利润了。中间还说政府鼓励贸易之类的，最后说政府还修建了铁路，并鼓励私人投资铁路，铁路资金由政府和私人共同承提供，到某一年已经修了40000km的铁路了。

9.热带雨林

由于气温升高，湿度降低，土壤的变化对很多的物种的生存和栖息地的破坏和影响，其中有一种植物Vine能在此种环境下特殊生存，由于雨林遭到了破坏，风在此过程中加剧了对于栖息地的侵袭，（雨林具有降低风速的能力），但现在风能无所顾及的进入雨林，导致土壤更加干燥，甚至直接吧树木吹倒。枯死的树木，人类的焚烧，以及气温的升高，也加剧了大火的潜在发生。

10.开垦的原因

不是自然气候变化，而人类是主要原因，文章通过例举一系列动物数字的灭绝，同时例举了毛利人以及欧洲人在捕杀动物的一些事实，充分论证人类是物种灭绝最主要的原因。同时最后提到过度捕鱼现象，需要引起更多人的重视。开头介绍了当地的土壤和环境不适合大量作物，但随着温度上升等原因，土壤的质置提升，可以种植大量的燕麦。接着提到Natufian人群，有更强的种植和收割植物的能力，同时也学会了在农作物储存在有利位置，随着作物的充足，人口也大置激增，人口进行扩张，在此过程中也出现了阶级概念，然而有遇到了干旱问题，他们由原来的hill zone去了 high altitude地区，因为对cereal 非常熟悉，所以也能保证农作物生长。

11.The Global Industrial Revolution

古埃及商业的发展

12.地中海的一张图

听力部分

Listening

Conversation

1.一个学生想去日本参加夏季intern,因为觉得那对以后的工作都会有帮助，而且她在日本住过一段时间（这个点后面才提到，这两点出题双选）一开始对方建议该学生去参加一个一月的五天的活动学生表示有点intense；后来男的表示你去参加那个夏季intern就没有学分哦你怎么办？（该处有题）女生陷入思考...

2.女生想要玩音乐希望教授能帮她推荐一下，因为教授是music department的（这里出题）。而且她有上教授的一门乐理课（有题，问女生是怎么认识教授的）她学了很久的钢琴，很喜欢音乐，之所以选择学术是因为觉得对未来比较好（有题：为什么学术？）但发现自己还是比较向往音乐，毕竟理论和实

际玩音乐还是不太一样。教授说那我当然可以帮你推荐一下，我自己也有一个 jazz band下周好像要招人来着，女生很开心（这里有重听题），不过我们不需要弹钢琴的人，不如你去webpage上看看吧，有很多local乐队（此处有题）女生说好

3.学生先感谢了教授对他的作业的好评，之前写了个关于戏剧《waiting Tudor》的文章，老师说写的很好，注意到了成双成对的东西的运用。今天学生来，是想问问老师关于他下一^业topic的意见。学生看过一个评论，说《waiting Tudor》只是在repeat, nothing happens?学生很有感悟，这次想写《waiting Tudor》的 structure, 但是老师说，你要慎用其他人的评论，而且不建议继续写这个话题，毕竟这个是survey course, 希望学生写 poem 或 short story。

4.关于课上一个问题的讨论，学生对课上提到的关于brain的experiment有问题

5.找室友，有个室友走了询问老师新室友分配的policy，问室友能否指定

6.学生找教授借recorded video，然后目的在后半段才说

7.教授答应了学生给推荐信，但是学生没收到，就去找教授，结果教授不在然后跟助手对话

8.学生的paper缺资料，老师借她自己的收藏

9.一个学生要写一个画家的论文，讨论那个画家的特点

10.图书馆装修，学生来问情况，想要去二楼座位。图书管理员表示该地区是给Graduate student开放的，让他去另一个地方，可那个地方太吵闹，所以学生去找教授要申请。

Lecture

1.哲学家关于道德标准的观点（ethic principle)，惯例首题：该讲座在讨论什么？先大概说了一下看一个人是不是ethic就看他做的事情是good还是bad，第一个人认为道德标准是blabla...第二个人（M)认为道德就是做对最多人都好的事，能惠及到的人越多越好,但对于标准的判定很难有一个答案。例子是一个要上场打仗的士兵家里有一个老母亲，老母亲的生活需要他，如果他留下就可以惠及一个人，也就是老母亲。但如果去打仗的话他可以惠及很多人或者0个人（如果他死了就帮不到任何人）所以就没有确切的答案，还是要看自己的选择。但是M的key conception是：一个人要对自己做出的选择负责

2.在讨论海獭sea otter的数量减少是为什么？一开始猜是因为海獭的生育率越来越低了，但是研究发现没有；又猜测可能move 到别的地方去了，但是也没有那为什么变少了？

第一个原因：虎鲸捕食海獭。在之前是没有被发现的，但最近有差不多十起incidence，而且住在虎鲸能碰到的地方的海獭数量减少了，但虎鲸碰不到的地方海獭就没怎么变化，所以应该是被虎鲸吃掉了可是虎鲸为什么吃海獭？科学家猜测是虎鲸的别的食物变少，所以开始吃海獭。

第二个原因：人类活动。overfish什么的，提到三个生物的关系，相互影响增增减减... 此处有题。

3.一般人们考古找到artifact都想研究什么？男生回答：从哪里来的、用什么做的。老师表示，没错！然后讲一种 shell被发现在x地方，但是怀疑不是那里的原产物，那种shell很漂亮被用来做装饰。然后说在中国最早发现这种shell是被用来做货币的，因为很轻小，便于携带 (portable)接着讲到一个游牧民族骑马…好像跟古希腊人有交易

4.来自biology class，讲关于bacteria的好处，我们通常认为细菌就是germ or disease, but there are many good bacteria ,第一它们可以补充人体内的维生素（VB和VK) ，第二他们可以帮助体内的酶发挥作用促进消化，第三还可以和bad bacteria竞争 resource从而清除它们，然后professor说有一

些抗坏细菌的方法同样会对好细菌造成伤害，洗手液在清除坏细菌的同时也会破坏好细菌；接着教授还提到益生菌，在酸奶里有对人体有很多好处，但是现在一些商家夸大了一些好处，目前科学还没有证实。

5.来自geology class，这篇主要讲的是seafloor topography，教授说sea surface的研究有很多但seafloor的却很少，然后开始讲人们进行seafloor研究的历程，主要讲了两种技术，第一个技术是声呐技术，它的问题在于调查范围比较小，需要很多船才能探测到entire seafloor,这会费力费钱，所以另一种新技术发明了这种新技术虽然可以进行很大范围的探测但是它探测的数据缺少details。最后教授说现在的探测要把这两种技术结合起来，而且目前没有一种技术能包含这两种技术的优点。

6.The United States government class，这篇主要讲了一种环保技术，这种环保技术早就在美国被发明，发明的原因是有段时间美国遭到了 energy shortage,人们害怕传统的能源马上就要枯竭，于是有一个task就专门研究新能源。这种新能源各方面都很好但有一个问题就是贵，一般人用不起，于是有人提出让政府大量投资，以至于让这种能源能便宜下来，还举了一个例子，意思就是曾经这个东西非常贵然后政府大量的买这些东西使价格下降，所以那时候的人也想这么干，让政府投资很多钱，政府不愿意，于是美国总统连一点钱都没给这个技术，于是这个技术就垮掉了，至今也没有用的起来。

7.来自astronomy class，这篇主要讲了一种star,它们在死的时候 (一般会死很长时间）会放出很强的光，教授就讨论了为什么它们会放出这么耀眼的光。首先教授指出一般这种luminous star非常大存在于较小的galaxy中而且这些 galaxy很年轻，那些不亮的star存在于较大较old的galaxy中。然后professor问学生为什么会这样勒？然后开始回顾star是怎么死的，女生说是因为自身hydrogen和ice water不断累加什么的，professor说不是，是因为solar wind,它们会将star的hydrogen和ice慢慢消磨，吹向galaxy 中，所以那些老的galaxy就回比较大，年轻的galaxy就会比较小，luminous star 就很大而且很亮。

最后教授还说了一个彩蛋，就是这些luminous star太大了，以至于把 galaxy都遮盖了，运用普通的天文望远镜看不到是否有小的galaxy,于是天文学家用紫外线进行探测。

8.来自environmental class 教授讲了个例子（基本都在讲这个例子），是关于一个地方原来没有大商场所以人们必须开车去downtown买但现在开了个大的shopping mall人们可以不用开车去downtown 的小shop 了，减少了污染，但女生质疑，如果有些人离这个shopping mall比较远，肯定不会走路或者骑车，还是会造成污染。教授说是的，这个大商场的建造其实并没有很有效，而且它的 manufacture 也会对环境造成破坏。

Task3

某老师不允许随堂听课，理由一新教室小没空间；理由二随堂生问问题挤占教师上课时间。男生disappont：理由一有空间，可站可坐地上像他这样有兴趣的学生愿意这么做；理由二只准停课不准问问题其他老师也这么做。

Task4

一个女生病了，但之前答应朋友去art show的opening night了。方法一：去半小时，好处可以回家休息，坏处半小时难以脱身病情可能恶化。方法二：打电话解释然后不去。好处一周之后可以去应援another night，坏处这个开幕很重要。

Task6

1. 旧产品就没人买了，大家都去买新的，旧产品的销售还会下降。e.g.卖dry sensitive skin product的公司推了新产品大家都买那个。

Writing

第一点：cool the deers by breezes (风一吹就凉了），散热，角露外面风吹可降温

第三点：show the dominance

听力观点：

第二点：按理说母鹿需要照顾和保护小鹿，那它们应该更需要角才对，但是它们没有角。而且鹿有很多方法来保护自己，研究人员发现鹿的主要predator狼身上的伤主要是被鹿踢造成的（by kicking)

本题也出现过，在2016年1月23日，Schools should set extra the course of video games for children at the age of five to eight years old.也属于非主流考题。对于一件事发表正反两方面的看法。反观点过于彻底负面，所以支持这个做法更为合适，那么设置类似游戏课到底有哪些好处呢？其实答案就在题目内。一个是effective，一个是interesting。两个理由再加上一个让步段回应反观点。即可构成一个完整的文章。下面，以其中一个理由为例演示主题段的写作：

高分托福高手经验谈作文.

高分托福高手经验谈作文 2019-02-26 第一次考托福的时候靠懵了，一出来的时候据我的同学说脸色是惨白的，8月19日那天突然降温，台风来了。我在风雨飘摇中在新东方作了最后一次模考(事后才知道是0401的)，自信心备受打击，没有到600。那天晚上我失眠了，11点的时候爬起来做语法，却发掘以前有很多信心的语法开始猛错。倒下睡觉。心里却碰碰直跳。12点半，我开始起来背托福词汇，自信心还是一点没有。那种自我怀疑的感觉到现在还历历在目。一晚没睡。第二天早上一听红牛就去考试。我那个据说能考到650的同学坐在我前面，我更加心神不宁。 分数出来了，我只有603…… 那时虽然复习时间不多，但我知道，自信心的缺乏才是考托福的第一大敌。一旦没有自信心，语感，神志，逻辑，心理，状态都会崩溃，然后做题的感觉和套路会大打折扣。 我从8月2日上新东方才开始正式复习托福。在那之前由于要准备SAT，我已经粗略的背过一遍红宝。但看到托福的题之后，最慌的是听力，然后是阅读。一开始我觉得托福的阅读是很难的。一方面是因为当时阅读的方法有问题，总是以整篇文章一起读，以为抓住了重点，却还要在众多细节题上回到文章重读。后来我根据新东方老师的“出题顺序与文章顺序大体一致”，分段读并且在题目中寻找答案的位置，还是有很大的提高的。另一方面是因为水平确实不够。阅读水平固然需要词汇，但是又牵涉到逻辑、语法之类的词汇间能力，对于当时只有高二英语水平的我来说，未免有些困难。第一次托福考完之后很快就恢复过来，开始准备SAT。SAT无论从词汇量还是文章难度上都比托福有了很大提高。SAT的题目第一次见到的时候就好像天书，觉得没有做得出来的题目。那时高三开学了，学习任务很重。每天复习到很晚，基本上都是在背单词以及阅读文章寻找做题感觉。文章读多了以后，虽然还是觉得很难，但逐渐看懂了。SAT的essay要求比较高，首先是没有模版的。虽然事先可以练一个定式，但废话模式肯定得不到高分。而且SAT写满46行却只给25分钟，这也是个很大的.挑战。这种作文模式我直到考SAT前还是要常常失误，心理没底。不过大概真的是aimhighandachieve，当我再次回到托福准备11T的时候，就突然发觉阅读变得简单了，那些句型和逻辑就好像是在看高考题，十分清晰，而且提问的问题也都可以方便的找到。这样信心就增加了一点。在写作文的时候，用的是一种半八股的方式，即有很多内容是事先写好的，由于有了SAT的练习，不到二十分钟一篇写满两页的作文就可以写好了。这样信心又增加了一点。至于听力，我在一段时间中一直在看英语的原版片，一段时间夏令营去了英国，与鬼子对话的同时，几天之内连看了 BatmanBegins,HarryPorter3,BJ,MinorityReport,Shreck等影片，当时满脑子都是对话和英语，虽然当中的很多习语在toefl中是不会出现的，但当我回到Toefl的时候，相似的情况出现了。听力也变得简单了，直观的感觉就是speaker的口齿清晰了，对话也慢了。这样一来，信心更多了。于是那天怀着

2019托福阅读考试真题(3)

2019托福阅读：模拟试题及答案解析（6） 【托福】 Although only 1 person in 20 in the Colonial period lived in a city, the cities had a disproportionate influence on the development of North America. They were at the cutting edge of social change. It was in the cities that the elements that can be associated with modern capitalism first appeared — the use of money and commercial paper in place of barter, open competition in place of social deference and hierarchy, with an attendant rise in social disorder, and the appearance of factories using coat or water power in place of independent craftspeople working with hand tools. "The cities predicted the future," wrote historian Gary. B. Nash, "even though they were but overgrown villages compared to the great urban centers of Europe, the Middle East and China." Except for Boston, whose population stabilized at about 16,000 in 1760, cities grew by exponential leaps through the eighteenth century. In the fifteen years prior to the outbreak of the War for independence in 1775, more than 200,000 immigrants arrived on North American shores. This meant that a population the size of Boston was arriving every year, and most of it flowed into the port cities in the Northeast. Philadelphia's population nearly doubted in those years, reaching about 30,000 in 1774, New York grew at almost the same rate, reaching about 25,000 by 1775. The quality of the hinterland dictated the pace of growth of the cities. The land surrounding Boston had always been poor farm country, and by the mid-eighteenth century it

托福高分经验汇总：听说读写应该怎么练

托福高分经验汇总：听说读写应该怎么练托福考试的考察非常全面，听说读写面面俱到，所以大家在备考的时候也需要每个方面都顾及到。今天给大家带来了托福高分经验汇总：听说读写应该怎么练,希望能够帮助到大家，下面就和大家分享，来欣赏一下吧。托福高分经验汇总：听说读写应该怎么练?一.考托福必过词汇关许多托福拿到高分的大神都强调了背单词的重要性。其实词汇是很基础的东西，但是非常重要。托福词汇可以说是贯彻了托福备考的始终，托福单词书要背，阅读、听力、写作和口语里遇到的生词也要记，所以，考托福必过词汇关。二.托福阅读：快速，准确，多练习大多取得高分的考生都认为阅读是个长期积累的过程，但是积累是基础，其实新托福考试中还考察了我们的另外一个能力，考试技巧。你需要迅速把握文章内容、识别题目、针对不同题目进行不同解法，以及快速排除错误选项，所以基础打好以后，阅读还是要多练习。一定要做到快速，准确。三. 托福听力：速记能力很重要大神推荐的听力考试方法都会提到速记能力。Lecture部分，大家需要记好笔记，因为篇幅过长，只靠短暂记忆很容易忽略一些细节，做题时可能已经忘了，所以速记能力是托福听力拿高分的关键。关于听力对话部分是否需要记笔记，大家意见不一，有的人说一定要记，也有的人说不用。其实两者各有优缺点，大家在练习时找一找感觉，看看自己适应哪种方式。四. 托福口语：注意逻辑性和时间掌控大神分享的托福口语高分经验中，除了多练习之外，大部分都强调了口语表达的逻辑性和对时间的把握。考试的时间有限，口语的表达很重要的一点就是逻辑性，

一定要条理清晰地表达，另外需要把握好时间，在有限的时间内把自己的观点陈述完成。另外，平时练习口语，如果能找外教一对一练习，效果也是很不错的。需要注意的是，口语练习一定不要背模板，因为表达起来过于生硬，不如在练习中自己总结模板。五.托福写作：重基础，多练习托福写作分为两块，综合写作和独立写作。综合写作也会涉及到一些听力和阅读，主要考察总结归纳能力。独立写作是需要你自己去完整构思文章的，所以需要自己去构思文章，填充细节，举例论证等等，文章内容越充实越好，自己写的论点要能够自圆其说。另外，不要被写作要求的字数限制住，一定要将自己的思想表达完整，字数超过一些是不会扣分的。托福语法技巧：复合名词1 名词+名词：LondonTransport伦敦公交公司Fleet Street舰队街(伦敦的报馆 街)TowerBridge(伦敦泰晤士河上的)塔楼桥hall door大厅的门traffic warden交通管理员petrol tank汽油桶，汽油罐hitch-hiker沿路搭便车的人，搭顺风车的人sky-jacker劫机者river bank河岸，江岸kitchentable厨房用的桌子winterclothes冬季服装2 名词+动名词：fruit picking摘水果lorry driving开运货汽车coal-mining采煤weight-lifting 举重bird-watching观察/研究鸟类surf-riding冲浪运动3 动名词+名词：waiting list等候者名单diving-board跳板driving licence驾驶执照landing card登陆卡dining-room餐厅，食堂swimming pool游泳池这些组合可用在：1 当第二个名词属于第一个名词或是它的一部分时：shopwindow商店橱窗picture frame镜框college library大学图书馆church bell教堂的钟gardengate花园的大门gear lever变速杆但是一些

0308 托福试题 阅读（55minutes） Question 1-11 If food is allowed to stand for some time, it putrefies .When the putrefied material is examined microscopically ,it is found to be teeming with bacteria. Where do these bacteria come from , since they are not seen in fresh food? Even until the mid-nineteenth century, many people believed that such microorganisms originated by spontaneous (5 ) generation ,a hypothetical process by which living organisms develop from nonliving matter. The most powerful opponent of the theory of spontaneous generation was the French chemist and microbiologist Louis Pasteur(1822-1895).Pasteur showed that structures present in air closely resemble the microorganisms seen in putrefying materials .He did (10) this by passing air through guncotton filters, the fibers of which stop solid particles. After the guncotton was dissolved in a mixture of alcohol and ether, the particles that it had trapped fell to the bottom of the liquid and were examined on a microscope slide .Pasteur found that in ordinary air these exists a variety of solid structures ranging in size from 0.1 mm to more than 1.0 mm .Many of these bodies resembled the reproductive (15)structures of common molds, single-celled animals, and various other microbial cells . As many as 20 to 30 of them were found in fifteen liters of ordinary air ,and they could not be distinguished from the organisms found in much larger numbers in putrefying materials .Pasteur concluded that the organisms found in putrefying materials originated from the organized bodies present in the air .He postulated that

托福考试复习经验总结

托福考试复习经验总结 看了这里大家的总结，忍不住也想put some words. 首先，不要轻视TOEFL，尤其TWE，一个简单的标准，如果六级考试60、 70分，最好是能抽出一个月以上的时间专攻一下TOEFL。多练几篇TWE。 第二，背单词。单词是基础。能够基本保证自己考试时阅读不至于反复回读，单词量至少7000。我建议刘毅的Vocabulary10000，看这本书中每个单词 的英文解释，背单元各自列举的近义、反义词。 第三，对听力而言，只有多听，2000年以后的更要反复听，以前听说都会 有重复出现的考题的，可惜今年没有碰到(包括短对话也没有，挺郁闷的)。如 果只是为了应付TOEFL，没必要看电影，听广播，能抄写下段子题，应该就能 证明你的实力了。 第四，语法。我强调细心，一定要把整道题读完再选答案。分析句子结构，一定不能多了、少了谓语。我上过新东方的TOEFL班，语法是铁岭老师教的。 最后一节课，他组织了一个总结。于是慨叹，这就是那第六个包子，饱了。说 多了。应付语法需要细心+勤练，如果每次对答案错的题目都似曾相识，总结就必要了。即使你觉得它最简单，最好也保持一天做一套。 第五，阅读。我没话说。除了背单词，就只有多做了。可我笨，每次都错 主题题，我就是搞不清楚一个段子讲些什么。开始我总结作题技巧，提取各选 项的关键词(主语)=文章的关键词。可这次1月的考试，发现不灵了，比方说最后一篇，斟酌良久依然是蒙了一个。 第六，作文。我自己比较懒得去写。我搜罗了网上的类似“作文高手句子 锦囊101招”之类的帖子打印下来仔细看，自己组织了两份模版(分别针对同意不同意，和同意A还是同意B，这样两种题型，其实就首段不一样)套用，比较 管用，最起码帮自己堆积了不少字码。当然，作文多练手，灵活运用各种句型，才是根本。 1月考T经历。 我外地去天津考的，报名很晚，安排给我的座位却靠前在第一排。我才知 道TOEFL考试还有带同桌的。当我放书包在窗台上转身回座位时真呆了，同桌！天大的桌子是拼起来的，跟我同桌的男生巨力大无穷，写作文N次用橡皮去擦，我只能停笔等他结束。 我们考场耳机给的声音巨大，为了压住所谓的机器正常噪音，我们也只能 忍了。听得我考完了耳朵里持久嗡嗡的响。我觉得听力的趋势是短对话更难， 我复习用的2000年以后的题，也就2003-01还有些相似，在我感觉，其他的与
