  第一篇

  题材:动物类

  内容:

  关于鸟的栖息地的选择,一开始说了周围需要很多不同的植物,因为有不同的活动需要,然后用了鸟喜欢在电线的例子,说一些鸟需要空旷的地方交流,然后讲了一些迁徙的鸟类寻找栖息地,更加倾向于食物为首要因素,因为他们不能预测这里将来有没有食物,最后讲了一个科学家的试验,证明一种叫oven什么的鸟寻找栖息地的根据是地方的空旷性,即便空旷的地方更容易被吃掉,但是因为那些地方他们也能更好地捕捉食物。

  TPO17- Animal Signals in the Rain Forest

  第二篇

  题材:地理地质

  内容:

  有关地球原始海洋如何形成的,先说了太阳系如何让地球行程,是由于太阳的引力造成各种尘埃分子绕着它转,随后太阳温度加热,以及分子自身引力和碰撞,慢慢形成了一个核心,然后形成了原始的星球雏形,然后在这岩石星球上由于内部蒸汽喷发形成大气,慢慢积累形成海洋,然而最后一段又说,这个火山蒸汽学说似乎是不成立的,因为原始星球应该是很热的水,不会慢慢累积成原始海洋。

  相似TPO:

  TPO8- Running Water on Mars

  第三篇

  题材:历史类

  内容:

  一开始说了运输系统对经济是有很大影响了,然后讲了有关美国的交通运输建设,蒸汽艇的出现极大地促进了经济的发展,也让人们对新动力进行了更多研究,人们在蒸汽船建了一个航道链接了NY港口,后来因为需求越来越大,蒸汽船无法满足运输需求了,另外航道的建设费用还很高,以及铁路和蒸汽火车的发展改去建设铁路,然后因为有政府和四人的资金支持,美国建起了大量的铁路,一开始从英国引进了技术,后来发明了自己技术,到了某某年铁路总长度是英国的三倍多,但是密度没有英国大,由于铁路的建设使得大件的商品运输更快更便宜,促进了经济的发展。铁路的发展成为了工业革命的标志,由于铁路运输费用低廉,而发展又广泛,使得很多地区的经济都得到了发展,同时还促进了城市的发展

  相似TPO:

  TPO8- The Rise of Teotihuacan

  更多版本

  内容:how earth’ s ocean formed

  了解海洋是怎么形成的需要先了解地球是怎么形成。太阳的引力造成了各种尘埃分子绕着它转(出题),随后太阳温度升高以及分子自身引力碰撞(出题)慢慢形成了一个核心演变成小星球。星球之间相互作用力使得运行轨道由圆形变成椭圆,碰撞发热加热地质层进而再把地下水加热到气态形式(出题),气态水也可随温度降低压缩成雨的形式降落在地球表面从而形成海洋。然而这个说法被反驳,认为地球不可能开始是冷的,因为各种碰撞会释放热量。

  听力

  C1:学术类对话

  戏剧团昨天搬出地下室排练场

  戏剧团昨天搬出地下室排练场,一个女生说道具找不到了,好像是拿到了室外,老师抱怨为什么不早跟她说要搬走,可以在附近storage找,如果有消息明天会通知学生。还会发邮件告诉工人提前弄好。

  解析:这是一篇非学术类话题的对话,但今天的考生普遍反映这篇对话难度较大,而且是在第一篇出现,对于后面听力材料的理解在心理上会造成一定的影响,但好在今天后面几篇文章难度还可以,所以平时备考时切忌大意,觉得对话简单,尤其是非学术类对话,容易拿分,但实际情况是这类对话有可能语速会快或者细节性强。

  C2 :校园场景类对话

  学生找老师要推荐信

  学生找老师要推荐信,老师正在忙,但是学期马上就结束了,时间很紧张,学生提到他想在软件公司实习,虽然没钱,但可以学知识,提高自己的技能,但是需要出具一封推荐信,老师答应了,但是说下次要早一点找她,预留多点时间。

  解析:这篇对话也不涉及到太多学术方面的内容,注意相关场景词汇和表达,比如这篇中推荐信(recommendation letter), 实习(intern/internship),平时也多注意扩展各类场景话题的相关词汇和表达,比如实习工作的话题还可以辐射出一些相关词汇,如简历(resume),招聘会(career fair),面试(interview), 升职(promotion)等。

  相关练习:TPO6-conversation1; TPO18-conversation1

  L1:Geology很多山的形成是因为板块撞击

  很多山的形成是因为板块撞击,但有些不是,G mountains,因为它位于板块中央,且有冰雪覆盖,科学家们无法靠近研究它的起源,学生问是否有可能是火山作用,老师说有可能。科学用了两种方法,一个是根据sediment估计G mountains形成年代久远,另外一个研究它的冰融化后带下来的碎石,发现G mountains久远得多,但是冰川对山其实是保护作用,可以帮助山脉不被侵蚀。

  解析:地质学是难度相对较大的一类听力材料,专业性和细节性强,专业词汇较多,所以平时练习的时候多注意积累一些相关基础知识和学科基础词汇,虽然主要话题经常会变,但基本词汇和知识往往重复率高。这篇内容涉及到的相关词汇和表达:板块(plate),构造板块(tectonic plate),撞击(collide/collision),火山作用/火山活动(volcanic activity),沉积物(sediment),融化(melt/ thaw),冰川(glacier),冰山(iceberg),侵蚀(erode/erosion).

  L2:Music History艺术品类

  戏剧中心从意大利转移到巴黎,一个意大利剧作家R,对一部很受欢迎的作品进行了改良。主要是形式方面加入了更多的音乐,细分了各个部分,让每个演员都有机会唱,他用的音乐形式也更简单,能够体现剧情推进,人们一开始接受度差,因为与传统不同,但后来获得认可,确立了R的地位。

  解析:艺术史类的文章结构一般都是直线型的,而且细节比较琐碎,对于听力理解的准确性要求较高,所以平时练习的时候不仅要求自己做到听懂,更要听准。艺术史的材料一般以一位艺术家、或者一种艺术形式或流派、或者一部作品为核心展开。这篇材料有可能涉及到的词汇与表达:戏剧(drama/ opera/ theatre/play),剧作家(playwright),剧情(plot).

  相关练习:TPO7-lecture1; TPO9-lecture1; TPO12-lecture3

  L3 :Ecology森林中的物种对森林本身的影响

  砍伐哪种树木很关键,森林中的物种对森林本身是有影响的,老的树木不能随便砍,因为它们会影响生态系统的多样性。举个例子,比如因为bats常在老树上筑巢,老树比较高,阳光比较充足,对于幼崽来说比较容易找,但是bats经常换树,没人知道为什么,提了几个猜测,因为bats以昆虫为食,对森林特别关键,所以学生们要注意砍树的类型,如果继续砍掉老树,对生态是有影响的。

  解析:生态学是比较综合的学科,涉及到的知识面比较广,包括生物,地理地质等,话题一般是讲一种相互关系,所以听清楚话题主体的同时,还要准确理解它们相互之间的关系是什么。这篇材料所涉及到的词汇和表达:物种(species),生态系统(eco-system);多样性(diversity),生物多样性(biodiversity).

  相关练习:TPO11-lecture3;TPO13-lecture2;TPO29-lecture1

  L4:Business讨论买方市场和卖方市场

  讨论买方市场和卖方市场,美国原住民T,将sea otter belt卖给船长,船长再转卖到亚洲,但是越来越赚不到钱,原住民提高了价格,因为是卖方市场,原住民可以选择想要交易的买家,原住民可以通过议价延缓交易速度,这样有可能卖出更高的价格。

  解析:商业的文章一般是讲例子较多,所以细节比较琐碎,而且这篇文章话题关于卖方市场和买方市场还有价格的变化,考生很容易将信息理解混淆,所以务必注意句子的主语或者段落的主体。本文可能涉及到的词汇和表达:卖方市场(seller’s market),买方市场(buyer’s market),议价(negotiate a price)。

  口语

  Task 1

  The university is going to allow students to take snacks and beverages into the classroom. Do you think it is a good idea?

  Sample

  So far as I’m concerned, it would definitely be a terrible idea to allow snacks and beverages in classrooms. For one thing, it would severely lower your efficiency in absorbing knowledge with a handful of snacks, especially for those informative advanced lectures that acquire your full attention. As well as that, it could also be disruptive and impolite for those who may actually want to get themselves immersed in class. Imagine someone is trying to intently focus on the lecture, taking in all the key points, a constant munching on chips or the crunchy bites of sunflower seeds would surely be annoyingly unpleasing.

  Task 2

  Some people like to study in the morning. Others like to study in the afternoon. Which is better for you and explain why.

  Sample

  Studying in the morning would actually do more good to me. One evident reason is that I keep a pretty occupied schedule in the academic year, which would keep me well-organized confronting the upcoming major assignments and projects. Making full use of the precious and refreshing morning time that would be otherwise wasted by sleeping in, I may get my work done way ahead of time. In addition to that, I will gain more flexibility in my spare time when I engage myself in a variety of activities such as a day-tour in the museum or a play rehearsal. Those leisure time activities will sure help me to release the pressure and take my mind off things.

  Task 3

  题目及范例阅读:

  建议信:一个学生建议学校电脑维修中心应该晚点关门。

  第一点原因:万一学生在晚上遇到了电脑出故障没处修理。

  第二点原因:这样可以给计算机专业的学生提供兼职机会。

  听力:

  态度:女生认为这是一个不错的主意。

  第一点理由:确实会面临这样的情况,曾经她自己有一天晚上电脑坏掉了但是第二天就要提交历史论文,她不得不过了几天才交,导致最终论文分数因此降低了。

  第二点理由:她的一个朋友最近正在担忧没有地方去参加专业相关的实习工作,而如果能有相关的实习经验会方便后续找工作。

  Sample

  A student has proposed that the computer repair center should close later in case of an emergent computer breakdown and in this way computer science majors will have more chances to take a part-time job. The girl totally agrees with the idea. Once she ran into such a problem where her computer failed in the middle of her task and because she couldn’t promptly fix it, she didn’t hand in the history journal until a couple of days later and ended up with getting an unfair lower score. In addition, one of her friends now is currently worrying about getting a part-time job, and now with the added vacancies, she should be able to easily find one, which will be beneficial for her future job hunting.

  Task 4

  题目及范例标题:Rebound Effect

  定义:当出现一个减少能耗的新科技后,因为能源使用价格降低,人们往往会倾向使用更多的能源。

  听力:教授以某一个大型公司研究推出的一种可以减少燃料的汽车为例,虽然新型汽车相较以前可以节约燃料,但是因为新型车可以在低能耗的情况下行驶更远的路程,这会促使人们更多的使用这种汽车,因而从增加的汽车使用频率来看整体能源消耗并没有减少那么多。

  Sample

  Rebound Effect is a phenomenon that even with the introduction of a new form of energy-saving technology, the overall expense of natural resources will not necessarily decrease because people tend to use more of that new-tech products. The professor cites an example of an energy-saving car promoted by a car company. People conceive the new type of car will travel a longer distance with less energy consumption, therefore they are more likely to use them instead of the previous ones, taking for granted that it will be less costly. However, it is because of the increased frequency of car use that counteracts the assumed less total energy consumption. In other words, the original purpose of saving more natural resources will not be accomplished.

  Task 5

  题目及范例问题:女生感到隔壁宿舍的同学每天拉小提琴很吵会影响她的学习。

  解决方案一:去图书馆学习

  优点:她可以去图书馆学习,也比较安静

  缺点:宿舍离图书馆比较远,拿电脑和书本很重。

  解决方案二:换一个宿舍

  优点:可以在安静的宿舍学习,也不用来回搬东西。

  缺点:只有单人间可以选择,没有舍友可以和她分担房费会很贵,她就不能像往常一样去购物或者与朋友出去玩。

  Sample

  The girl has encountered a problem that the student living next to her dorm room plays the violin every day, which really bothers her while she studies. Now she could either go to study in the library instead or switch a dorm. I would recommend her the first solution. On the one hand, even though it’s kind of far to get there with a heavy load of the computer, the books and stuff, it’s really a quieter environment where she could also have easy access to the academic resources. On the other hand, since there are only single rooms available which would render her no roommate to split the rent, she may suffer from not being able to go shopping on the weekends or hang out with her friends as much.

  Task 6

  题目及范例主题: 顾客辨别商品质量的两种线索

  第一方面:内在线索

  解释及举例: 内在线索是根据组成产品的原料和颜色等产品内在因素来判断。比如商店卖果汁,给消费者提供免费的试喝样品,如果消费者觉得果汁的味道好,果汁就会受到消费者青睐,就会卖的多。

  第二方面:外在线索

  解释及举例:外在线索往往是通过产品的包装来吸引消费者,借此让消费者形成好的产品质量印象。同样是卖果汁,如果果汁的包装华丽,让顾客觉得新奇,消费者就更会愿意消费。

  Sample

  In the lecture, the professor introduces two cues that customers employ to determine the quality of a product. The first is an intrinsic cue, which involves the assessment of the intrinsic factors of a product such as the ingredients, the color and so. For example, when the juice producer offers a free sample for customers to sell juice, if the customers like the taste of it, chances are that they will consider it of believable quality, therefore they will be willing to purchase the juice. The second is an extrinsic cue that is related with the package of the product. Say if customers see juice products in a unique and fancy package, they will be intrigued by the exterior and will pay to get the juice this way.
