No More Posters Outside the Student Center
Traditionally, students have been permitted to put up posters advertising events, clubs, and activities on the concrete wall outside the main entrance to the student center Beginning next semester, however, students will no longer be allowed to attach anything to the front of the building According to a university official, the new policy is part of an effort to improve the campus’s appearance. “The posters on the wall make the building unattractive," he said, "so they have to come down." He added that posters can instead be displayed in the dining hall: "Students can use the bulletin board in the dining hall for posters, so the policy change should not be a problem.
The woman expresses her opinion about the new policy. Briefly describe the policy. Then state the woman’s opinion about the policy, and explain the reasons she gives for holding that opinion.
高分词汇:attach to, unattractive, display, artistic, personality, changing.
材料要点重现:
阅读:no longer, attach, front building, posters, unattractive, dining hall.
听力:bad, square building, artistic, colorful, character, changing, not everybody, eats, dining hall.
范文:
According to the university official, students will no longer be allowed to attach anything to the front of the building beginning next semester because the posters on the wall make the building unattractive and posters will be displayed in the dining hall. However, in the conversation, the girl thinks it is too bad about the new policy. Firstly, the posters there make the basic square building with gray concrete walls artistic and colorful. It also gives the building character and personality. Secondly, the stuff on the wall is always changing and it is cool. Besides, not everybody eats at the dining hall, so the posters in the dining hall is meaningless.
托福口语TPO46 Task4:
Reading部分
Warning Coloration
Many animals have defense mechanisms that help protect them from predators. In some cases, these animals have distinct coloring that signals predators of the presence of such defenses. This type of coloring is called warning coloration. If a predator does not recognize the meaning of this coloration and attacks, it may suffer significant discomfort or injury when its would-be prey employs its defense mechanism. As a result, the predator learns to associate the warning coloration with negative consequences, and will from that point forward avoid attacking animals that have that coloration.
题目:Explain how the professor’s example from the lecture illustrates warning coloration.
高分词汇:refer to, illustrate, run from…, produce, prepare, back off, leave…alone, recall.
材料要点重现:
阅读:warning coloration, animals, signal predators, defense.
听力:skunk, white stripe, bushy tail, gland, terrible, smelling liquid, attack, spray, recall, stay far away.
范文:
Warning coloration refers to a type of coloring that animals have to signal predators of the presence of defenses. In the lecture, the professor uses skunk as an example to illustrate this term. Skunks have a big white stripe that runs from the top of the head down their back and along the big bushy tail. The special glands under their tail can produce a terrible, smelling liquid. When a wolf is preparing to attack a skunk, the skunk lifts its tail and sprays the wolf. So the wolf backs off and leaves the skunk alone. From then on, whenever the wolf sees the skunk, it will recall the terrible smell and stay far away from it.

W : Hitchcock films are great. You gonna be thereright?
M : I don't know there is a conflict.
W : What' s that?
M : Well I suppose to have the dinner at the dining hall with my cousin, he's coming tomorrowto spend the day on campus to check out the university, trying to decide whether to enrollingclass next year.
W : Well maybe I can help. I ate at dining hall every night. So if you want, he can come todinner with me and some friends of mine.
M : That's really nice of you. It would help if he got to talk to few different people about campuslife.
W : OK, let' s do that.
M : Well the thing is he's kind shy and he might be uncomfortable with people he doesn'tknow. And I do want him to enjoy himself here.
W : Hey, we'll be nice; anyway do you have a better idea.
M : Well, I can skip the film and have dinner with my cousin as planned. I rent the film andwatch later.
W : But what about the discussion.
M : I miss that and it could be very interesting.
W : Well let me know when you decide.
Question:
Briefly summarize the problem the speakers arediscussing. Then state which of the two solutionsfrom the conversation you would recommend.Explain the reasons for your recommendation.
范文:
The man plans to take part in a special class meeting tomorrow night to view a film and have a discussion after that but he is supposed to have dinner at the dinner hall with his cousin. In the conversation, they talk about two possible solutions. The first solution is that the woman offers to eat at the dining hall with his cousin and some of her friends. But the man says his cousin is shy and he might be uncomfortable with people he doesn’t know. The second solution is that the man just skips the film and has dinner with his cousin as planned and rent the film and watch it later. However, he will miss the discussion. Personally, I recommend the man choose the first solution because in that way, his cousin can still visit the campus and the man can watch the film and participate in the discussion. I believe his cousin will understand him.
托福口语TPO46 Task6(听力+题目):Why we may remember some things better than others
听力部分:
When we think about the past, we try to rememberthe past; we remember something better thanothers. Why is that? Well there're few differentexplanations. One explanation is that we remembersomething better if we already have some previousknowledge about it. Some previous understandingof it. For example, let's say you're going to go aclassical music concert. If you don't know anything about classical music before you go to theconcert, you probably won't remember any details of the concert later on. For examplesomebody asked you about the concert a year later, you probably won't remember what piecesthe orchestra played; what order they play them and so on. On the other hand, if you alreadyknow a lot about classical music before you go to the concert, for example if you can studyingand playing classical music for many years is probably going to be much easier for you to recallthe details of the concert later on. Another explanation is that we remember better whenthere's something unusual or different about what we trying to remember. For example let'ssee you in a class at university. A big class with over a hundred students in it. A year later, which of those hundreds students are you mostly like to remember, probably the ones who wereunusual or different in some way. Maybe a man who was exceptionally tall or a woman whowas exceptionally intelligent. The fact the students were somehow different from the otherstudents would make them easier to remember.
题目:Using points and examples from the lecture, give two explanations for why we may remember some things better than others.
范文:
In the lecture, the professor talks about a psychology phenomenon that when we think about or try to remember the past, we remember some things better than others and illustrates two explanations for this.
One explanation is that we remember something better if we already have some previous knowledge about or understanding of it. For example, if you don’t know anything about classical music before going to the concert, you probably won’t remember many details of the concert later on. On the contrary, if you already know a lot or you’ve been studying and playing classic music for many years, it’s probably going to be easier to recall the details later on.
Another explanation is that we remember better when there’s something unusual or different about what we are trying to remember. For example, you will probably only remember the ones who were unusual or different in a big class with over a hundred students a year later.
托福独立+综合口语
Task1
Which one of the following forms of transportation do you consider to be most enjoyable?
l bicycle
l automobile
l train
Explain why you enjoy it.
话题:Approach 方法
思路:喜欢自行车:(1)保护环境;(2)锻炼身体
高分词汇:transportation, practice, fossil, dioxide, atmosphere, muscles, stressful, sedentary
范文:I like to travel by bicycle most among the three transportation forms. One reason is to protect the environment because the practice can save fossil fuels and release no carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Another reason is to have more exercises since riding bicycles forms strong muscles in one’s legs, which provides a valuable opportunity for stressful and sedentary office gentlemen and ladies to escape and breathe in the fresh air.
Task 2
Do you agree or disagree with the following statement?
In the future, people will read fewer books than they do toady.
Use specific examples and details to support your opinion.
话题:Study 学习
思路:未来人们读书会比现在少:(1)时间少;(2)娱乐活动更多
高分词汇:present, obvious, employee, immerse, entertainments, operas, focus
范文:I believe that people in the future will read fewer books than they do in the present. One obvious reason is that the rapid pace of life allows less time for employees to immerse themselves in a wide range of books. Another reason is that various entertainments such as video games, soap operas and outdoor activities will distract people from focusing on studying, even when they are in library.
Task 3
Professor Evaluations
The university requires students to complete written evaluations of their professors at the end of each course taught during the semester. But current system is private, since only the professors actually read the evaluations once the student submit them. I suggest that the university publish these evaluation online for everyone to read. Both professors and students would benefit from having these evaluation published. Professor would feel more motivated to improve their teaching if they knew that their evaluations were publicly available to all students. In addition, prospective students could read the evaluation and make more informed decisions about which classes they want ti take.
Sincerely
Chris Jacobs
Question: The woman express her opinion about the proposal in the letter. Briefly summarize the proposal. Then state the woman’s opinion and explain the reasons she gives for holding that opinion.
话题:Teaching Activities教学活动
思路:女生不同意这个建议的原因有两个,一个是教授不愿意公开批评;另一个是到期末时,大家都会忙着准备考试,在评估时可能没有办法提供详细有价值的信息。
高分词汇:reveal, evaluation, motivations, proposal, criticize, assessment, estimation, practical
范文: It is suggested by the student that the university should reveal the online evaluations of the professors to the public because the professors would have more motivations to prepare their lessons and students would have more information about what course to take. The woman in the conversation does not agree with the proposal. First of all, professors will not be happy with being criticized in the public, so they might not look at the assessments. Secondly, these estimations are done by students who are busy with their final examinations, which provides little practical and detailed information about courses.
Task 4
Reactance
People of all ages generally prefer to have as much freedom as possible in determining their behavior. When individuals feel that their actions are being unfairly limited, they often attempt to restore freedom by directly contradicting or opposing the rule of regulation that threatened their freedom. Both children and adults demonstrate behaviors that are the results of their urge to restore freedom. This reaction, termed “reactance” by psychologists, come from an individual’s desire to reestablish freedom and control of a situation.
Question: Explain how the examples in the lecture illustrate the concept of reactance.
话题:Psychology 心理学
思路:阐述术语“逆反心理”的概念,展开例子:(1)孩子在被限制去操场玩以后会更加想去玩所以会溜过去;(2)成年人在被限制买某种肥皂以后会买更多这种肥皂。
高分词汇:opposition, reestablish, illustrate, apparent, sneak, ban, subterfuge
范文: The reading passage introduces a term called “reactance”, which is the reaction of direct opposition to unfair restrictions of behaviors in order to reestablish freedom and take control of a situation. The lecturer further illustrates this term by using the example of both children and adults. One example is that when a kid is not allowed to have fun on the playground by his parents for no apparent reason, he will have a stronger desire to go there than before, so it is more likely for him to sneak over there. Another example is that when a certain kind of soap was to be banned from sales for the subterfuge of environmental damage, an increasing number of people bought the soap the week before the law was put into effect.
Task 5
Briefly summarize the problem the speakers are discussing. Then state which solution you would recommend. Explain the reasons for your recommendation.
话题:Association Activity 社团活动
思路:女孩遇到的问题是自己准备的画过大了不能展示。解决方法:(1)用旧的画,但是那不能体现现在的水平;(2)再画一幅,但是最近有考试非常忙。
高分词汇:artwork, appreciate, criteria, current, theme, occupy, worthwhile
范文: The girl is going to show her artwork in the student center for people to appreciate. The problem is that the painting she prepares for the exhibition is too large for the small amount of wall space. To solve the problem, the girl can either hand in her old small painting, or she could draw a new one that meets the criteria. I prefer the second solution. I believe by drawing a new picture, the girl is able to show her current painting level and what she draws may better suit the theme of the exhibition. On the other hand, although it might occupy some sleep hours to prepare for the coming examination and the exhibition at the same time, it would be worthwhile to see the better results eventually.
Task 6
Using the example of goats from the lecture, explain the two benefits of animal domestication for early humans.
话题:History 历史
思路:早期人类驯养动物的好处:(1)食物来源更加稳定;(2)食物种类更加丰富
高分词汇:domestication, constant, tractable, migration, whereas, merit, variety, gather, preserve
范文: The lecture talks about two benefits of animal domestication for early humans. The first advantage was that it offered early humans with a more constant source of meat. For example, goats were tractable, so they could move from place to another with human migration. The goats were available to eat whenever and wherever the people needed meat whereas it relied more on luck to hunt wild animals. The second merit was that domesticated animals could supply a variety of foods besides meat. For instance, early humans could gather the goat milk and make it into other kinds of food such as yogurt and cheese, which could be preserved. By contrast, wild animals could furnish nothing but meat.
