口语部分
共有六道题,基本沿袭新托福官方指南中的风格。首先是两道 independent questions:
1. Choose an object you like and explain why it is of special value to you. Please include specific examples and details in your explanation.
2. Some people tend to judge a person on the basis of first observation. Some people believe it takes a long time to know a person well. Which approach to knowing people do you think is better and why?
点评:这两道独立口语题的难度最低,也最适合提前准备模板,减低临场难度。比如第一题总是问你喜欢的一个XX是什么,你喜欢XX的原因。可以使用的摸板如下:well, as for me, I definitely believe that the XX I like the most is AAA. The reason is rather simple: first, I choose AAA because it is of great importance to me. You know, it____________. Second, AAA also means a lot to my family. It does turn out to be great because it ____________. Third, AAA helps a lot to build up my future. It ______. 基本上45秒也只够你用中等语速把以上内容背一遍。所以,本类题型做不好是完全没有理由的。
然后是两道integrated listening/reading/speaking questions:
3. 先是一则小新闻:学校要建一座art building .原因是老的艺术楼不能适应新的需求了,并且其他大学也都建立了自己的art building.
然后是男女对话。男子基本是属于捧角,说的内容不重要。关键是牢牢掌握女子的话:她认为it is time! 正应该建这样一个大楼。原因有二:一是旧的艺术楼太dim/dark. 好的艺术楼必须有bright and large windows. Because artificial light makes it difficult to catch the real color. 二是another university across the town already has a splendid art building and many prospective students choose to go to that school for this reason.
问题是:the woman expresses her opinion of the university plan. State her opinion and explain the reasons she uses for holding that opinion.
问题是:explain how the example used by the professor illustrate quoting out of context.
