There are two reas ons.The

2、 first reas on is it can help us study. Nowadays, GPA becomes more and more important for college stude nts. Good grades can help us in gett ing an ideal job after graduati on.First 是邏輯詞，讓論述結構清晰，簡介明了地引出第一個原因，舉一個細節例 子一一學習好了有利于找工作。The sec ond reas on is duri ng the final exams, an additi onal study p

3、lace will be n ecessary for us. At that time there will be crowds of people gett ing up early to study in our library. It will be difficult to have a seat i n there. So if we can have an additi onal study room in our dormitory, it will be much more convenience whe n our library is full of people.Sec

4、o nd和First樣，作為邏輯詞使論述層次更清晰。接著簡潔明了概述第二個原因，舉第二個例子一一期末圖書館占不到座位，最好是有個多的學習室。T2All people should be required to stop work ing and retire by age 65.Do you agree or disagree?Person ally, I agree with this propo sal. There are two reas ons.直接明確地表明支持還是不支持這個觀點，然后用平行結構列舉兩個論點。On the one hand, requiri ng people to

5、 retired at 65 can leave more opportunity to young people. So it will be easier for the young to find a po siti on.On the one hand ，注意邏輯結構，引出第一個原因。用一個例子支持該論點 老人強制退休，給年輕人讓出更多的工作崗位。On the other hand, being forced to retire at 65 does n t mean retiredpeople will do no thi ng and just stay at home. One

6、can devel op a new hobby differe nt from his origi nal job. For exa mple, a math p rofessor may get in terested in history after he rega ins eno ugh time in retireme nt. Thus may save people from life-lo ng rep etitive work and lead them into a brand new world.On the other hand ，與on the one ha nd配套使

7、用，適用于說明兩個原因。闡述第二個原因：老人退休以后可以擁有工作之外的愛好，豐富生活。最后舉一個例子數學教授退休之后可能會對歷史產生興趣。T3閱讀標題： Laundry Room Reno vati on學生們抱怨空間太小，機器太少，等待時間長，所以決定把Eastwoodbasement擴建一下。期間暫時停用，使用Greenwood的洗衣機。聽力態度：disagree原因2 : Greenwood要繞過校園。花費的時間很長，尤其是衣服多的，可能 需要走好幾次，花的時間更長In the p assage, the uni versity is going to have the laundry

8、room reno vated to add more laundry mach ine and dryers because stude nts always complain about long wait ing time whe n using the laundry room. However, the man thi nks it is unn ecessary. His first reas on is that stude nts pour into the laundry room only at weeke nds. If they come during the week

9、days, they don t need to wait for so long. The second reas on is the laundry room will shut up if it begi ns to be reno vated. And stude nts will have to take their laun dries far away outside school to get them washed. It will be very inconvenient.T4定義：開放性的群體，對外來者不封閉的，而是愿意接受新成員的。新成員可能 帶來在以前群體的知識。 聽

10、力例子：雌性黑猩猩chim pan zee結束青春期后可能選擇新的群體，就會帶來自己以前學習到的知識和技能。例如一個黑猩猩在以前的的群體里學習到可廠 用棍子去捅螞蟻洞，誘使螞蟻出來以吃的的群體里學習到可以用棍子去捅螞蟻 洞，誘使螞蟻出來以吃This P assage in troduces a concept called p ermeable group. This no ti on means there are certa in groups which are welcome to new comers. And thus will lead to the sp read of som

11、e useful behavior. I n the lecture, the professor takes chimpanzee as an example. A female chimpanzee can move from one gro up to ano ther. And duri ng its movi ng, it will teach other group members a p ractical tech nique to find food. That is a chi mpan zee can thrust a stick into the ant hole. Th

12、e ants will climb on the stick and the n the chi mpan zee can fetch back the stick and eat the ants on it.T5問題：男生看到一則以比較優惠的價格出售一個品牌鼓的廣告，但是距離比較 遠，天氣正冷，他需要乘車前往。優點1 :可以多穿點衣服，讓自己暖和點。缺點1 :車的供暖系統壞掉了，要到下周才去修。解決方案2 : 租車In the con versati on, the man wants to buy a drum from a person who lives an hour away.

13、So he n eeds a car to get there. He has two soluti ons. The first one is using the car of his friend. However, it is win ter and the car' s heating system has been broken. So it can be very cold this way. The sec ond soluti on is to rent a car with good heat ing system but it will be much expen

14、sive. I supp ose the first soluti on is better because even ifthe car has a bad heat ing system, the man can wear more clothes to kee p warm. And also in this way, he can save some money for future use.T6例子1 :藝術老師授課的時候反饋時間應在教學期間內，以便學生可以及時練 習所給的建議。要點 2 : focus on the work, not on the students themsel

15、ves例子2 :學生如果畫的不好，可以給出一些具體的建議，一邊學生知道如何進步,比如告訴他色彩有哪些問題，而不是說他是個bad pain ter 。The pro fessor talks about two characteristics of effective feedback. The first characteristic is feedback must be prop erly timed. For exa mple, in a painting class, teacher should give stude nts feedback before the class is

16、over. So the stude nts can try recomme nded tech niq ues in teacher feedback in their painting. The sec ond characteristic is feedback should focus on stude nts' work, not on stude nts themselves. For exa mpl e, if astude nt use wrong color in his painting, the teacher should tell him to cha nge

17、 ano ther color in his future pain ti ng rather tha n just tell him he is a bad pain ter.5月6日托福寫作真題回憶:綜合閱讀：美國的一種叫auklet 的海鳥出現了 die-off 的情況。1. 可能是由于在發生 die-off之前的夏天，auklet的數量激增，導致對于食物的競爭加強，有些auklet 就餓死了。可能接觸 sea stars的時候，感染了 sea stars 病毒，導致 Auklet2. Auklet死亡。聽力：以上列舉的沒有一個能夠解釋auklet 的die-off.1. 競爭可能會導致

18、一些auklet 的數量減少，但是不會導致這么多auklet 的死亡，并且食物和auklet之前的平衡沒有辦法修復。2. 如果是少了病毒感染的話，那么auklet 的病毒，但是研究發現，死去的auklet 上面并沒有病毒存在。3. 其他的一些以 zooplankton為食的動物沒有發生死亡現象。為什么只有auklet出現了這個情況，這說不通。解析：The writer p rese nts three reas ons to exp lain why auklets in America died off. However, the p rofessor dem on strates a di

19、ffere nt idea that these reas ons are all unconvincing.'t win that competition andTo questi on the first reas on p rese nted in the p assage that auklets might die from starvati on because of their large popu lati on and the relative little food, the pro fessor points out that the bala nee betwe

20、e n the nu mber of a sp ecies and the food availability could actually be bala need. Therefore, eve n we assume that auklets would n eed to comp ete with each other for food because the nu mber of them had in creased in the p revious summer and some of them did ndied, the food the n would be eno ugh

21、 for those auklets that had remained alive. In this case, they would not completely die out. Another important point showed in the reading material is that auklets might be in fected by some deadly virus from sea stars. But the p rofessor presents a conflicting idea that scientist didn' t find t

22、his kind of virus inauklets ' body. It is strange that they got infected by virus but didn t hadany in their body. The sec ond reas on in the readi ng p assage is wrong agai n.die-off. Because there are other sea ani mals that also feedFin ally, the pro fessor states that zooplankton still could

23、 not be the reason for auklets on zooplankton but they are not affected. This challe nges the third theory made by the writer who says that the drop of zooplankton quality caused the die-off of auklets.獨立Do you agree or disagree: It is impo ssible to always be compi etely hon est with your frien ds?

24、題目分析：同意不同意類中的單一論述題。話題與朋友相關，但是關鍵詞除了friends 之外，imp ossible, always和hon est 都提示我們這個題目屬于一個抽象類題目。所以我們采用抽象題目具體化的方式展開思路。No matter in the p ast or at p rese nt, it is undeni able that people kee p mak ing friends through their life time. A large prop orti on of them hold a view point that i n order to maint

25、ain Ion g-sta nding frien dsh ip with others, we should always be hon est with them. This is un dersta ndable and in most cases, comme ndable. However, after careful con siderati on about frien dsh ip, being compi etely hon est with friends is defi nitely impo ssible. Here are some reas ons and exa

26、mples to support my view.此題目與4月15號的獨立題目屬于同一話題，所以開頭段第一句和第二句可以 有所借鑒。如果是不同的題目，第三句跟在普遍或是別人的觀點之后，也可以有 所保留。在表達總觀點上，添加確定性的副詞增強語氣。開頭段末尾加上過渡句。'S feelings will be hurt soFirst, for the sake of maintaining frien dsh ip with others, being hon est uncon diti on ally is the last thing in the world we should c

27、hoose. For exa mple, whe n a frie nd is in prep arati on for a really imp orta nt En glish sp eech comp etiti on, it is meanin gless to point out that he is not going to win that comp etiti on and he is wasti ng time if he spends time on it, even the truth is that he sp eaks terrible En glish and ha

28、s no logic in writ ing his sp eech draft. As frien ds, we should not and cannot say so whe n we are give n such situati on. If you do choose being hon est in this case, this frien dsh ip will po ssibly be over and that friend badly that he may blame you. Alternatively, you can help him p ractice his

29、 oral En glish and together with him correct the mistakes in his speech draft, rather tha n being so hon est that sacrifice your frien dsh ip with him. 本段的分論點是為了維護友誼，不能一直完全誠實。但是因為此分論點也較為抽 象，所以論證部分全部用的舉例。在分論點的道理比較顯而易見或者是不好說理論證的時候，全部舉例不失為一種好方法。 Second, con sideri ng the characteristic of frien dsh ip,

30、 sometimes we cannot be compi etely hon est with friends in terms of our own issues. For exa mple, the p assword of our bank acco unt should be avoided to tell frien ds. And the finan cial situati on is not somethi ng we ought to be hon est with them. What is more illustrat ing, the fact that you ha

31、te your boss cannot be shared with your friends from work and you thi nk some one you and your friend both know is not a kind person cannot be shared with that frie nd. The former may very much likely get you be fired and the latter may p ossibly lead that two people to defrie nd with you. Similarly

32、, whe n your break up with your girlfrie nd, it is unn ecessary to be hon est with your friends about the reas on. And whe n you are sick or bankrupt, you cannot tell any friend that you n eed help. Doing so will only make your friends leave you uni ess they are bosom ones who are willi ng to sacrif

33、ice time and their hard-ear ned money to help you out. As we can see from above explan ati on, it is impo ssible and not ben eficial to always be compi etely hon est with frien ds.本段的分論點自身的某些事情，不應該也不能夠對朋友完全誠實。跟上段一樣， 論述部分是舉例，但是為了跟上一個主體段的論述方法區別開來，采用了歸納法 中的舉例方式，也就是用一些相關相似的小事實，得出分論點的結論，而非具體舉例了。But I am

34、not say ing that we should not be hon est with frien ds. Being hon est is resp ectable and may also bring some ben efits to both of the two friends and con tributes to the frien dsh ip sometimes. For exa mpl e, if you points out the shortage of your friend hon estly, he may overcome that shortage an

35、d become a better man, which in turn, will enhance your frien dsh ip with him since he will app reciate you for this. Unfortun ately, things will not always going like this, esp ecially whe n you have embarrassed him while being hon est with your friend. And regard ing personal issues, being compi e

36、tely hon est with friends sometimes is show ing trust and in timacy; n evertheless, doing so is also filli ng your friends life with trivial things to deal with. As time goes by, that friend may feel too exhausted to be frie nd with your anymore. Then, you will have no friend to be hon est with.辯證段體

37、現辯證思維。All in all, it is stu pid to always tell the truth in frien dsh ip and doing so is in effect impo ssible. Con sideri ng the p articular n ature of frien dsh ip, being reserved with friends is more p ractical and con tributable. But lying to friends is by no means a wise choice and it is better

38、 for us to not say anything rather tha n lie to them whe n somethi ng is not suitable for them to know.5月6日托福閱讀真題回憶:第一段描述electrotype這種新興科技使得雜志能夠更快的被打印出來,并使得Pictorial weekly這種型號較大的新聞雜志發展起來，該雜志往往有很多的illustration插畫。第二段描述使得pictorial weekly發展起來的第二個關鍵因素就在于photography。daguerreotype這種早期的相片的出現使得早起相片里常見的人像廣為流

39、傳，能讓藝術家在離肖像模特十分遠的地方也能夠 按照雜志里的圖片做出畫作。第三段說明照片對于雜志的影響不單單在于提供了插畫的主題上，還使得藝術家在創作插畫時會模仿早期相片的感覺。因為人們 覺得，比起藝術作品，相片更能夠傳遞真實感。第五段說，插畫的主題從comic變得更為formality. 雖然comic的傾向仍然在部分雜志里有所保留，但是新的趨勢是更為注重節制，禮節(propriety).2. Emerge nce-develo pment3. Routi nely-ofte np redator的時候，prey本文共四段。第一段講了有實驗表明當被引入了就會被Predator捕食殆盡，然而因為

40、是人為條件下的結果，我們有理由認為在自然環境中并非如此。因為P redator 會失去自己的 food resource 之一,所以會選擇將prey保留到可持續的水平。第 2段說明了捕食影響物種分布的第一種方式是prey switching。在某種prey比較少時，就會轉向其它的獵物。例如lynx 和wolf 是它兩個Predator。當hareshoe 這種新的prey 被引入 當地時，hareshoe大量繁殖,lynx的數量也大幅上升。但hareshoe 隨后出現lynx的數量上升，而其數量下降時,了周期性的上升和下降，而每當其上升時，lynx就會轉而去吃原來是wolf的獵物caribou

41、 。因此通過轉換，lynx自己的數量穩定的同時可以讓hare shoe有時間恢復。第3段講predator 可能通過阻止更為 voracious 的 predator來控制 prey 數量。例如有一種鳥棲息在一種樹的樹頂上，食用一種bug，該鳥類數量下降的同時發現該bug數量也在下降，而樹長得比較繁茂。推測雖然這對樹不利，但可能是該鳥可以保護該 bug 不受到其它更為 competitive的動物的捕食。第 4 段說明還可以通過reduce pressures betwee n two species來影響物種的分布。存在兩個物種競Predator 可以控制兩者的爭時，一般一種會淘汰另一種，隨

42、后占取所有資源。 數量到較低的水平，使其中較弱的一方不至于被滅絕。詞匯題:第一段說商業和科技的結合不僅導致了一些用具和物品的產生，也促進了一 些大的系統的發展，例如 20 世紀初美國的電網。電力的采用不僅促進了電力 公司的發展，替代了傳統的能源，對社會各個方面也有較大的影響。第二段先說 電燈的使用更加安全，不易引起火災，也促進了一些需要精細運作的產業，利用 新聞業在晚間可以使用電燈照明。其次說發電機的比起傳統的能源來源要更加便 利，使得用電力發電的機器操作起來也更加的有效，和profitable. 第三段說明電網的發展對美國工業的地理分布產生了巨大的影響。原來的能源需要靠近水或 煤，但是現在的

43、地點就更為集中在城市，因為城市的電網集中。第四段說明公眾 用了很長時間決定電力最終歸私有而非歸國有。導致的結果是城市里的電網系統 的高度發展，而1920s為止，仍有大片的農村地區是沒有電的，因為電力公司認為在這些 廣袤的區域發展電力是不劃算的。5月6日托福聽力真題回憶:內容回憶：學生去找rece ptio nist說明自己目前做一個研究項目，想去拍一節學生們上課的錄像，需要和工作人員確認下時間，學生想知道明天是否可以， 工作人員說拍錄像之前需要獲得學生的同意，也就是需要參與的學生們提前填寫 一份類似調查問卷的同意書，還有如果要拍攝的話需要提前3天左右提交一份已經獲得準許拍攝的證明，學生說到，那

44、可能來不及，因為下周就要開始項目了， 工作人員還問學生是否就她一個人來負責拍攝工作，學生說還有另外兩位同學, 工作人員說那還需要提交一份關于費用的申請說明，學生最后總結說這些程序太 麻煩了。內容回憶：學生去找 P rofessor 談論關于他做的 Microbeat 相關的項目 的費用方面的問題，教授的意思是學生的項目花費有點多，可以適當減少，研究 的范圍太廣了，教授建議學生研究的范圍可以聚集在一些小的問題上面，比如校 園的水問題上面，不必放在海洋的水方面，還有第二點如果要分析結構的話，可 以在一些固定的地方收集樣品，并給出了一些可以收集樣品的地方，學生最后表 示接下去有好多工作要做，會根據建

45、議進行相應的修正的。Lecture1 : art history內容回憶：一開始講述了 co ncep tual art的概念，即凡是能夠引發人們思考的作品，都是成功的藝術作品，主要介紹了兩位藝術家的作品，第一位是Jose ph Kesuth 的one and three chairs ,這個作品中并且沒有真的出現chair,但是可以讓人們聯想到chair，介紹完一系列的特點之后，教授說了一句good work for JK（后面有考題，問題教授對KJ的態度）；第二個藝術家是William Wegman,先說了他的一個作品是 Spelling lesson，說這個作品和他之前的作品特點不一樣，

46、接著說了他的第二個作品是一些關于dogs dressingin human clothes 的照片，體現了荒誕主義的觀點。rare內容回憶：教授一開始說到電子書可能會改變未來的圖書館但是有些seal off氧氣來保存美國憲books還是需要保存下來的，書比較容易損壞，很容易受到光線的破壞，空氣 里的其他一些氣體也會破壞書的紙張，舉了一個用 法文件的例子，接著提問道如何保存rare boSks,首先要控制好光線，那么光線的數量要控制到什么程度呢？ 一個男同學回答到，需要控制到人們能夠看見的程 度，講了自己一次參觀的經歷，因為光線太暗，根本看不清楚書上面寫了什么, 教授說到，關于控制光線的量是有g

47、uideli ne,接著有解釋了很多情況下guideli ne并沒有用，最終能夠確定光線數量的方式是需要通過一種叫做data-logger 的技術。Lecture3 : Child development內容回憶：兒童在很早的時候就會開始模仿成人的行為，但是在這個過程中 也會出現over-imitation ，接著給出定義：兒童會把成人演示過程中所有相關 和不相關的動作全部模仿，教授以教兒童打開盒子的蓋子為例子，說明第一階段， 展示出所有打開蓋子必要的動作之后，兒童會照著一樣做打開蓋子，然后第二階 段，展示出所有打開蓋子必要的動作之外還加了一些不必要的動作，但是兒童也 會跟著模仿，并不能區分哪

48、些動作是必要的哪些動作是不必要的，接著有位同學 提問原因，教授說關于兒童過度模仿的原因有很多，可能是兒童并不能區分出來 哪些是必要的哪些是不必要的，及這些動作之間的因果關系。Lecture4 : Physical scienee內容回憶：教授一開始給出了citizen science的概念，即一些非專業人士參與從事科學研究項目，接著舉了aerogel 這種來自太陽系之外的物質的例子,說到研究者們會拍攝很多關于這種物質的照片，然后需要去區分是不是這種物質，由于照片很多，工作量巨大，所以需要其他人員協助，這個時候就可以通過 一些志愿者來做這件事情，但是這個過程需要有人監督，確保這些志愿者在正確 的

49、做這件事情，有個女同學就提問了，那如果我的電腦下載不了一些軟件的話， 是不是就沒有辦法參加志愿者活動了，教授說到，有些項目是可以在網站上面進 行的，不一定要下載軟件，介紹接著說到一個例子，接著有個男同學提問說聽起 來像是在做生物學的研究，不像地理學，接著教授舉了收集microbes 的例子來說明，表面看起來是在收集microbes，像是生物學，但其實是在研究低重力下microbes 相關的情況，所以其實是和天文學相關的。5月13日托福口語真題回憶:T1' TV show. which show would youThere is going to have stude nts like

55、p lastic surgery should be resp ected.T3閱讀標題：men tor program 原因1 :可以知道職業規劃的知識 原因2 :為以后的就業做準備 聽力態度：disagreeT4定義：skimming是指一些科技，創新的產品新出的時候，高售價。過了一段 時間后，打折銷售，使得更多其他的消費者感覺很劃算，從而促進銷售。聽力例子：教授提到了_DVD機的例子。DVD機剛出的時候，因為很新奇，家 使用又很方便，所以即使很貴，也有很多人買。過了幾年，DVD機半價銷售，更多其他的消費者覺得這很核算，于是銷售量大增,DVD機生產商賺了很多。T5問題：男孩兒糾結下午的時間

56、安排，一方面下午生物老師要在家里辦party，慶祝學期結束。另一方面，歷史學科的final paper要上交了，可是男孩昨天電腦 壞了，只能匆忙完成，需要下午再補充檢查。解決方案1 :參加party優點1 :生物老師已經準備了好久了。答應老師要去party的，這樣就不用不好意思了。缺點1 : pap er 完不成了。解決方案2 :去圖書館完成paperpaper 。優點2:這樣可以按時完成作業，還能檢查一下食言了。缺點2 :T6話題:Prairie dogs 對生態系統的好處；陳述兩個好處。要點1 : Prairie dogs會挖洞，離開后，它們挖的洞可以作為其它動物的棲息地,保護它們 awa

57、y from predators。例子 1 : owl 就禾U用 Prairie dogs留下的洞，保護 young owl.要點 2 : Prairie dogs挖洞使得泥土變得很松，從而有利于其他植物的生長。例子2 : grasses就得益于松弛的泥土，生長得很好。5月13日托福閱讀真題回憶:Passage one本文共8段。第1段動物需要保持體溫，還需要將熱量傳輸到表面皮膚。表面的溫度低于內部才會產生熱量的傳輸。第2段產生熱量的是少部分器官，比如人體中的 chest , abdomen, brain 產生的熱量就占所有熱量的72%。第3段運動的時候，會產生更多的熱量，要比平時多上十多倍的

58、熱量，主要是肌肉 產生。第4段說的內部溫度也不是都一樣的，inner的溫度保持恒定，但是器官直接也有溫度差，可能會有_0.5度的差別。第5，6段主要講熱量是怎么傳 輸到表面的。最后兩段主要內容講到，體溫會根據日常的活動調節，不同的動物 會不一樣。比如夜行動物在夜間體溫高，白天低。Passage two第1 段介紹了生活在澳洲熱帶的long-n eck turtle，它們的棲息地非常地特殊，會隨著干濕兩季的不同，改變棲息地；第 2段講到研究者們找了兩年也 沒有找到這種龜的棲息地，但是當地的土著人知道，他們知道這種龜會將蛋產在 水下。為了驗證這個說法，研究者在水下放了很多radio transmitter, turtle 下蛋的時候，tran smitter會附在蛋上，結果真的發現，Io ng-n eck turtle會在水下14-17 米的泥下下蛋；第 3 段講為什么 turtle會選這里下蛋，這和它們生存的環境有關，它們生存的環境
