阅读考情分析 本次托福阅读考试题材涉及到生物学、历史学、天文学,还是非常标准的托福阅读考试题材,整体文章内容符合常规考试标准。其中天文学文章主要还是关于地球、金星、火星以及形成这些差异的主要过程和原因,这些内容在托福阅读和托福听力考试内容中屡见不鲜。
如果各位考生对于这些常考背景知识内容不太熟悉,建议大家集中做一下TPO阅读文章TPO51-2、TPO41-2、TPO25-1、TPO8-3,这些文章主要都是具体讲类地行星上的气候、水的存在以及消失的原因等,和本次考试天文学阅读文章的主要内容差异不会特别大,建议大家做好背景知识积累,增强对于文章整体讲解内容的熟悉度,这样更有利于提高做题速度和做题准确度。
独立口语
When people acquire a new product, some prefer to read the directions in the manual to understand how it works. Other people prefer to experiment with the product to try to figure it out on their own. Which do you prefer and why?
口语考情分析 此次独立口语考试题目是生活中常会遇到的一个问题,这种话题类型属于生活类题目,这种题目相对来说比较容易展开论述,建议大家在阐述的时候可以直接以自己实际生活为例进行展开描述,给出详细案例信息。
综合写作
综合写作阅读和听力核心的讨论话题:
关于控制一种草(gamba grass)过度生长的方法。
阅读分别提出了三种方法:
第一种方法:利用化学的手段,比如除草剂杀死草,因为这种草在吸收营养的时候也会吸收这些除草剂。
第二种方法:引入当地的植物物种,进行复原,当地的物种就会占据这种草还没有生长的位置,从而限制它的生存空间。
第三种方法:采用生物防治的方法,也就是引进大型食草动物来吃这种草,比如大象。
听力:反驳,听力分别阐述了这三种方法的缺点来进行反驳。
首先,除草剂只能在moderate区域、温度适宜的区域才有效,但是澳洲的天气很炎热,这种植物不吸收杀草剂。
其次,引入当地中植物的方法不是长久之计,这种方法只能暂时生效一个季节,因为这种草长得比本土植物要快,所以可以这种快速传播。
最后,采用生物防治的方法-引进大象也不可行,这种方法反而会带来更大的问题。
独立写作
During big events such as graduation and weddings, some students think they need to take numerous photos and a lot of videos, others think they just need to take a few or no videos and pictures.Which choice or decision do you prefer?
此次独立写作考试类型又是非常经典的二选一类话题。 现提供对于这个话题的整体分论点思路,供大家参考,做思路拓展的积累;
Thesis statement 1:It should be recognized that taking numerous photos or videos is an effective way to preserve some significant memory during lifetime, which can be the source of happiness in our life.
Thesis statement 2: video recordings or photos about some important events are likely to stimulate us to insist on working hard for the better future development
让步段:Admittedly, it will inevitably take us some time or distract certain energy to take photos or videos at some vital moments, or even make us become uneasy. Specifically, there has to be someone to bring a camera or video and keep alertly paying attention to others, without fully enjoying these memorable moments with others. Also, owing to being aware of someone taking photos or video for us, we generally care about how we look on camera. But we are able to hire a professional photographer to be responsible for recording these moments, so that we can get full relax and receive some exquisite photos. And before taking photos or video, we had better make full preparation, like making-up or tidying up clothes, in order to avoid some unnecessary worry or strain.
