2008年10月12日托福考試真題托??荚嚈C經

字號:

閱讀我做了5篇
    前三篇我已經不太記得了,反正不是考古的就是史前人類咋樣咋樣的,感覺好像今天跟歷史考古有愁...反正做的很郁悶
    加試一篇是生物方面的,也不太記得,對不起了
    后一篇還記得比較清楚,說小孩子怎么樣算是在玩(play),有三種方法去判斷,一種function approach, 一種structure approach(主要關注有沒有什么play signal體現出來),但這兩種方法是distinct的(有題),而且也有缺陷,所以又來了第三種方法,critia法,這種方法是關注觀察者本身(有題),在他們觀察的同時給出幾個判斷標準(具體標準文章里會講,反正不是很重要)
    閱讀做下來感受總覺得選項蠻晦澀的,有些選項要琢磨琢磨才能選出來……
    --------------------------------
    聽力感覺語速和Kaplan的差不多,聽懂應該不成問題,但選項也很晦澀
    第一篇對話是一個學生去writing center請求幫助修改論文,但在該校區(qū)appointment要約到下個星期,但本周五上午男孩子就要交論文了。
    然后說到北校區(qū)男孩子路過,但北校區(qū)只能engineering的學生去聽。
    又說到西校區(qū),西校區(qū)所有的學生都可以去聽,但非常遠,而且那個時間男孩子有化學實驗不能去。
    后的結果怎樣反正不是很重要(沒有題),這篇文章還算簡單
    有一個art histroy class,說一個人熱衷water color painting的,不是很記得。
    有botany class,一個教授開始說長壽命的樹能記錄周遭環(huán)境的變化,一個男學生提了一個問題說為啥有樹能活這么長壽命?然后整堂課都在解釋這個問題,主要提到一種叫B** Pine的樹,長在土壤不肥沃氣候又不很宜人的地方,但卻非常長壽。其見會有一種加利福尼亞的什么什么樹(也蠻長壽的)跟它比較。題目記不清了啊……SORRY
    一個對話說一個學生要去drop一門關于莎士比亞戲劇的課(有目的題),因為她之前學過了(有題),想要做independent study,教授對此發(fā)表了些看法,說自己講的課肯定跟別的老師不一樣(有題),學生說她在英國學習的時候經常做這種獨立研究,應該沒問題。教授于是說那好吧,你要寫個proposal,然后把你上學期寫的論文給我看看(有題問為啥要交論文給教授?應該是幫助evaluate她獨立學習的能力)
    這篇文章女孩子說話非???,要注意啊。
    還有一篇biology的文章,說動物變化體溫以適應0度以下的環(huán)境的,題目不是很記得……
    -------------------------------
    口語:
    1. 說一個你覺得不感興趣(或者很難對付)但又非常重要的學科,具體到為啥難對付但又為什么重要.
    personally speaking, i definitely think math is a subject that fit this description, i mean, i am not interested in math although it is a fundmental one. First, you know, there are so many complicated fomulars in the math study. sometimes i just can't get them into my mind although i have spent, like, 1 hour on them. they just seem to beyond me always. and this really drive me nuts. on the other hand, i am fully aware that math is a fundmental subject. you know, if you really want to study other subjects like physics , biology and chemistry well. it is a must that you really have study math in the first place. by the way, i am pretty interested in physics , so i am determined to work on math more and try to do it well.
    2. 你愿意去電*看電影還是在家看,為啥?
    本題我們在第一節(jié)課說過的,在此我選擇在家看
    personally speaking, i prefer to watch movies at home for the following reasons. first, because it is much cheaper to do so. you see, if you choose to watch movies in theatres, you need to spend at least 50 yuan for the ticket, while if i do this at home, i can even download some free movies from the internet. second ,i will have much more freedom at home. since i can talk with my family members about the movie we are watching freely while i can't do this in theatres since this will bother other audiences. finally,i can eat any sort of snacks at home. for example, my favoirte snack is sun-flower seeds. without which i think it is a big missing piece while i am watching movies. again it is impossible for me to have sun-flower seeeds in theatres.
    以下題目給予關鍵詞組和句型:另外,請各位不要忘了模板,如in this set of materials, ....我用過兩次絕對沒有問題。。另外,如果自己語速還可以,對reading material可以稍稍涉及,但不要講的太多以至于影響后續(xù)的答題時間
    3. 一個學生寫了一個letter到學校報紙,說應該在期末考試周期間make food available at the residence hall。
    女學生覺得這個idea太棒了,這樣考試復習期間只要樓下買點吃的,復習進程就不會被出門覓食interrupt.另外晚上如果餓了去自動販賣機里只有熱量很高的垃圾食品,吃了只想睡覺。如果有點三明治啥的吃了肯定能繼續(xù)精神抖擻的看書復習。
    in this listening material, the woman thinks this is a really cool idea for the following reasons.
    get down stairs(Examda.com)
    don't have to go out to buy sth to eat will not be interrupted
    vending machine high fat food junk food make you sleepy sandwich have the energy to keep on studying
    4. Halo error, 就是根據你了解的這個人的情況, tendency of generalize a person's ability, 但這種judgement經常是錯的。
    聽力里教授舉了個例子,他從前的一個舍友物理極其好,然后他就請這個同學一起做roommate,但沒想到他東西亂堆一團糟根本是一個bad roommate。但為啥教授會覺得他應該是一個好roommate?只是因為他知道該同學物理好,就錯誤的判斷他應該也是一個好roommate
    in this lecture , the professor gives us an example
    roommate who is pretty good at physics mess the dorm because he is aware that he is good at physics this is a kind of misjudgement
    5. 女學生放假準備回家,打算后天走。一個roommate offer a lift, 但是明天就要出發(fā),這樣她就必須stay up whole night去完成一個paper。
    或者她也可以坐bus回家,這樣bus是在后天走,她可以有一整天做paper。但是bus路上boring, 很long。
    (我覺得還是bus吧,一整天做paper不用這么熬夜啦,而且比起很快就要見到家人的期待感,這點boring算啥,呵呵)
    ready to go home to spend the vacation plan to set out the day after tommorrow
    take the bus for the following 2 reasons
    don't have to stay up, based on my own experience it nearly kills to stay up
    it is boring ,she can choose to listen to some music or something like this. like me i usually kill my time on a bus in this way and it worked pretty well
    6. 動物集體覓食。分兩種,一種是同種動物集體覓食,比如一群獅子獵斑馬
    還有一種是不同種動物互相幫助覓食,有一種啥honey guy(具體是啥不知道,音是這樣的), 知道哪有蜂蜜,但進不去采不到。但另一種叫bearthal(大概是這個吧,音反正是這樣的),不知道哪有蜜但卻有辦法采到蜜。所以兩個動物就合作啦
    prey on zebra cooperative preying the problem with this kind of bee is
    work with each other to get the honey
    ----------------------------------------
    Writing
    1. UK考古學面臨3大問題:1, 很多有價值的簡直被建筑工程破壞;2,依靠政府資金,所以資金不足;3,學考古的人找不到工作。
    LISTEN里給出了一個new rule解決了這三大問題,說所有建筑工程開工前都必須由考古學者進行exam和評估,plan下怎么保護有價值的site;而這些exam啊評估啊的費用全部都要由建筑公司承擔,所以提供了新的資金來源;因為有了這個法案,所以同時也提供了很多考古學者工作的機會。
    2. Agree or disagree, in order to succeed, you should be more like others than be different from everyone else.
    (我寫的要與眾不同哈,跟大家都一樣那不就太common了么……)
