托福iBT

[3月3日]

Reading

• Passage 1:主要描写昆虫的伪装，非为有意和无意两种，又可分颜色、形状、行为几种，结尾提问:为什么很多伪装高手还是会被吃掉？伪装有用么？
• Passage 2:主要描写戏剧的化妆，说古希腊的人在表演举行典礼之类的时候给演员化妆，后来成为了中国脸谱之类的东西，然后就现在戏剧中化妆的作用和以前有什么不同展开了讨论，现在是让演员更加想自己所表演的角色，还有是通过跨张的化妆表情来让观众推测他们的心理活动，使观众一眼就能认出来。
• Passage 3:主要描写工作效率和工业心理学的创始人。
• Passage 4(Addition):主要描写美索不达米亚文明。
• Passage 5:主要描写进化论，此文涉及两个自然实验，都分别在较短的时间内体现了进化论适者生存的规律。第一个是Guppies，天敌多的时候长得快，生命周期长，因为他们要赶在突如其来的死亡之前涨到足够的年龄已完成交配已生育后代，所以那些长得快的Guppies保留自己基因的可能性较大。而科学家将他们的天敌变少了，这些Guppies就渐渐不急着生长了，而是呈现出一代更比一代大，生命也长了的趋势。

Listening

• Section 1:
  (1).一个学生想去Field Trip，但是因为他去年报过了名儿每人只可去一次，不过当年他因为生病而没有去，同时也忘了跟任何人说他不去了，于是就错过良机，管理员也没什么可帮她的，的的咕咕半天最后让他到那天早上去碰碰运气，也许有人跟他一样碰到以外去不了，那么它就可以乘虚而入了。
  (2).一个老教授很激动地讲授了意大利的壁画Fresco，壁画分为四个风格，这节课主要讲第2和3个风格，第一个风格是浮雕、大理石一般的效果；第二个是3D效果，画家用了很炫耀的技巧，以达到朦胧的效果，且增杰室内的亮度感；第三个是Ornate的，比较平，效果让人平静安详。
  (3).北极熊，很好玩的动物。
• Section 2:
  (1).学生组织了一个上演演出，需要找老师在日历上刊登点照片什么的，然后老师表扬了他所做的很多事情比如拉赞助等，然后要想演出方要照片，在下周之前把照片拿过来才能刊在校历上。
  (2).讲气候变化，说研究天气变化可以用Ice Rod，并举了格陵兰的例子，还结合了洋流来讲。
  (3).老奶奶用很夸张的语气讲了心理学，讲了反应时的3个范式，分别是刺激、Recognition、Choice Reaction Time，然后又举了一个例子，A拿尺子放到B的手上，然后突然松手，B凭反应抓住下落的尺子，然后看要多久时间以后才能反应过来。

Speaking

• Task 1:Describe one of your challenging experience.
• Task 2:Lost.
• Task 3:通知说：从一个时候开始，成绩好的本科生就可以直接申请上研究生院的课了，还有学分(太爽了)，提到校方的目的就是要鼓励学生在报考研究生的时候选择本校。对话就是两个研究生在聊，男生很不爽并说了他不爽的三个理由：小班变大班、那些本科生虽然聪明但还是会因为对课程准备不足而拖慢进度、上了研究生课的本科生也未必就会选择本校的研究生。
• Task 4:Role Distancing.有的时候人们觉得要背离一下自己固定的社会角色。举了个例子就是A小孩在跟同学玩的时候，A妈妈突然冲进来让他去洗碗，A如果顺从，则很不酷，因此A可能会小背离一下他作为儿子的角色，他可以用怪异的语调回答或者拖拖拉拉或者做做鬼脸。
• Task 5:问题：摄影协会的会长，工作忙课程多。建议：1.退位，专心搞学习；2.退课，反正不是必修
• Task 6:恐龙灭绝的原因。理论1：陨石=>遮云蔽日=>植物变少=>动物变少=>挂；理论2：全球变暖=>蛋变暖=>雌的龙变少=>失衡=>挂。

Writing

  阅读:一种叫做Zebra Mussels来自欧洲的淡水生物，繁殖能力强且吃得有多，之后随着船漂到了北美，由于到了新的地方，没有天敌所以开始暴涨，最终导致鱼类的数量暴跌。
  听力:主要阐述人们不知道Zebra Mussels很容易被干掉，只需往海水里一扔就行了；还有就是他们其实是有天敌的那就是鸟，鸟可以吃很多的Zebra Mussels;还有就是由不同种类的鱼，他们生活的区域和吃的食物都不同，有些会受到负面影响，反而会出现鱼口增长的现象。

  Because people are too busy doing many things, they can do few things well.

 

[3月4日]

Reading

• Passage 2:主要描写生物的分类，藻类一直是学者们所争论的，有人按照细胞数分类，有人按形态等把褐藻单独分出，还有很到动物和植物的，最后此文尚无定论，不过现在的分类是不正确不完善的，将来会有变化。
• Passage 3(Addition):主要描写两河流域的Sumerian文化，包括起源和对上帝的信仰，还有因为遗迹较少不易研究，但是有大量的石板文字。
• Passage 4:动作和情感的关系，有学派认为行为动作决定我们产生相应的情感，然后支持者认为主要是神经的作用；反对者认为动作和情感不是一一对应的，可能出现多对一现象，总之动作不是决定情感的唯一因素。
• Passage 5:Lost.

Listening

• Task 1:描述一个最重要的礼物.
• Task 2:讨论你认为现代的生活比祖父母的更难了还是更加简单了。

• Task 4:题目介绍了一个经济概念Sunk Costs，因为在投资中花了很多钱，最后明知投资是错的也不退出。听力中就教授举了花高价买到好球票，所以比赛那天宁可冒雨和严寒去现场也不呆在温暖的家里看电视的例子。
• Task 5:题目是两个学生想去听一堂Review on Physics，说教教授讲得很好，但男生说Cousin要来自己的新公寓，所以早上不能去，于是女生打井借给男生笔记并回答他的问题，男生感到很感谢。
• Task 6:题目说Fungus吃掉了树里的坏木，虽然让树变空壳，但也有好处，树变轻了根可以固定树是输在风暴中存活反倒使实心树太重而被刮倒、空心树吸引了动物，动物的Waste Matters作为树的养料所以Fungus对树有利。

Writing

• Integrated Writing:
  阅读:Fish Farming破坏了野生鱼的生存。饲养鱼生病让野生渔也感染死亡、饲养鱼的化学添加剂对人有害、饲养鱼的饲料来自对鱼的加工实际上是让人吃到的鱼少了。
  听力:反驳阅读观点，野生于减少是因为商业捕捞过度而非疾病，还有就是鱼里的添加剂也有牛肉和猪肉，且鱼营养丰富、脂肪少、比其他肉更健康。最后说鱼饲料用的是人们不能吃的鱼，使可吃的鱼增加了

Task1:表格题,描述1996年和2001年到伦敦旅游的外国人和英国人人数变化和不同原因的比例.
Task2:Some people think that the school should select pupils according to academic ability, but others believe different abilities should educated together. To what extent do you agree or dissagree? Give your opinion with examples.

例文:

For a long time, there has been arguments about whether school should or should not provide students with practical training while teaching theoretical knowledge. As to this matter I hold the opinion that it is school’s function to provide students theoretical knowledge, but not necessarily it is duty to give them practical training.

It is generally considered that school is an institution which concentrate on mainly two tasks: one is cultivating people to be professional in their fields, the other is doing further research on certain aspects. These two tasks decide that school focus on theoretical knowledge, but not practical training. What is people looking for in the further education in school? Certainly it is knowledge and most probably the theoretical knowledge. If they are seeking for some practical training, why not they enter some kind of skill-training institution or just find a job, both of which are likely to give them many more chances of practical training than a school can afford. As people do not resort school to get practical training, why should university provide such training which its students would not expect?

Admittedly, university students are prone to do practical work once they graduate and I am certainly for that they should know something practical about their major which means the students ought to be prepared for their future career. However, preparation does not necessarily require practical training while they are obtaining theoretical knowledge. For instance, a student of law can easily be familiar with practical affairs by the means of taking courses of practical affairs. Sometimes it is a waste of time and human labor resource to attend so-called practical training in a court. In a sentence, it is not school’s responsibility to provide practical training and it is rather meaningless for students to participate in types of practical training when time is for them to attain more theoretical knowledge.

例子:

Writing:

　　Some peo. think criminals should be sent to prison while others think edu. and training are better. Discuss.

　　It is universally accepted that the problem of crime is becoming increasingly serious in contemporary world. But regarding whether criminals should be sent to prison or be given some other punishments, people hold contrasting views. From my perspective, criminals should stay in the prison instead of giving any other punishment.
　　First of all, if someone commit a crime, he or she should be brought to justice. The only way to do this is to track criminals down, and reform them in a cell. All criminals stay in cells, and they can think their wrong-doing and then rebuild their mind and soul in a right direction. Also, it is easy for management if orgernise all criminals in the prison.
　　In the second place, if law enforcement agencies rehabilitate criminals by another way like to be a volunteer in the society, the action of the criminal will affect other law-abiding citizens, and lead them to a wrong way which will create a criminal tendency on their mind and soul. Furthermore, it will make citizens feel no longer safe in the society.
　　On the other hand, reforming criminals in the public area is a pretty natural mathod which can give freedom, time and space for criminals to refresh their brian.
　　To sum up, everything has advantages and also disadvantages, like a two-edged sword. On balance, I just prefer send criminals to prison to do something else as a punishement.
