新托?？谡Z考試第三題要求考生先閱讀一段文字，然后再聽一段與閱讀文字在內(nèi)容上相關(guān)的聽力材料，最后考生按照要求口頭回答相關(guān)問題。閱讀材料是70～100詞的自然段，共45秒鐘的閱讀時(shí)間。題目要求考生總結(jié)閱讀材料中隱含的說話者的觀點(diǎn)。
此題型的內(nèi)容為校園場景，形式為讀－聽－說。許多同學(xué)對(duì)于這一題的解答思路不是很明確，本文將對(duì)考生準(zhǔn)備該題時(shí)必須注意的重點(diǎn)進(jìn)行針對(duì)性的解析。
考試內(nèi)容
此題型考查的是考生運(yùn)用英語的綜合能力，是對(duì)考生適應(yīng)北美校園通知討論情景的模擬考查，體現(xiàn)了新托福口語考試的考查目的之一，即“實(shí)現(xiàn)聽、讀、說三方面的動(dòng)態(tài)有機(jī)融合”，同時(shí)也是新托?？谡Z考試的點(diǎn)睛之筆。其目的在于考查考生是否真正具備了實(shí)際的校園語言綜合應(yīng)用能力，是否達(dá)到了較高標(biāo)準(zhǔn)和較高質(zhì)量的即時(shí)輸入與輸出的語言運(yùn)用水平。
因此，這道題(包括第四、五、六題)既是對(duì)考生綜合聽說能力的考驗(yàn)，也是對(duì)考生概述能力的考驗(yàn)。
很多人覺得它比同為校園話題的第五題難度要大些，這是很正常的，因?yàn)榈谖孱}討論的通常都是學(xué)生個(gè)人的問題，而第三題討論的是校園“大政方針”的問題。即使用中文來表達(dá)，大家也不一定都熟悉在這種場景中需要的詞匯和句型，更別說用英文來準(zhǔn)確地表述了。
第三題的rating(評(píng)分標(biāo)準(zhǔn))以“your ability to speak clearly and coherently”、“Accuracy”和“Completeness”為評(píng)判標(biāo)準(zhǔn)。
樣題分析及解題思路
樣題
本文以O(shè)fficial Guide(官方指南)第214頁的第三題為例(分為三個(gè)部分)：
1、閱讀材料
Announcement from the President
The university has decided to increase the tuition and fees for all the students by approximately 8 percent next semester. For the past five years, the tuition and fees have remained the same, but it’s necessary to increase them now for several reasons. The university has many more students than we had five years ago, and we must hire additional professors to teach these students. We have also made the commitment to research and technology and will be renovating and updating our laboratory facilities to better meet our students?needs.
2、聽力材料
You will then hear:
Narrator: Now listen to two students as they discuss the announcement.
The dialogue will begin:
Man: Oh great, now we have to come up with more money for next semester.
Woman: Yeah, I know, but I can see why. When I first started here, classes were so much smaller than they are now. With this many students, it’s hard to get the personal attention you need.
Man: Yeah, I guess you’re right. You know, in some classes I can’t even get a seat. And I couldn’t take the math course I wanted to because it was already full when I signed up.
Woman: And the other things, well, I am kind of worried about not being able to get a job after I graduate.
Man: Why？I mean you’re doing really well in your classes, aren’t you?
Woman: I’l doing ok, but the facilities here are so limited. There are some great new experiments in microbiology that we can’t even do here. There isn’t enough equipment in the laboratories, and the equipment they have is out of date. How am I going to compete for jobs with people who have practical research experience? I think the extra tuition will be a good investment.
3、問題：
Now answer the following question:
The woman expresses her opinion of the announcement made by the university president. State her opinion and explain the reasons she gives for holding that opinion.
