老托福听力
新托福和老托福是有一定区别的,本文给各考生摘选了部分老托福听力题目。大家可以先从老托福听力入手,先拿老托福听力练手,一段时间后从新托福听力练习,循序渐进,慢慢的听力成绩会有所提升。
很多小盆友会觉得TPO听力 太长跟着太费劲,听多了会很受打击,如果你时间充足,楼猪建议从精听老托福听力开始,老托短对话--老托小lecture--tpo长对话--tpo长lecture。老托听力除了长度短小一些,速度能达到TPO听力的标准。
既然说到这里,大家先看一眼老托福听力来找一下感觉。
原文:
M: Do you know what time the train goes the city?
W: Normally it’s every 20 minutes. But it’s weekend, so I’m not sure.
选项:
(A) Listen to the traffic report on the radio
(B) Take a later train.
(C) Ron to catch the next train.
(D) Check the weekend schedule.
很显然这里的正确答案为D,因为原问题到了周末时间表与周1-5不同,因此,最好的选择方案是看一下周末的时间表,去找一下准确的时间。
很显然这里W并没有直接的告诉我们要去查询时间表,而是告诉我们周末的时间不确定,因此我们发现了她实际上是在暗示我们要Check the weekend schedule。这就是典型的另有深意。
新托福阅读也继承了老托福听力的光荣传统:P,也开始为我们大张旗鼓的玩起了另有深意这样的事情。这一点尤其在新托福TPO里面体现得尤为明显。
当然还是拿真实例子说话,首先看一下新托福真题TPO1里面的一段。
Groundwater is the word used to describe water that saturates the ground, filling all the available spaces. By far the most abundant type of groundwater is meteoric water; this is the groundwater that circulates as part of the water cycle. Ordinary meteoric water is water that has soaked into the ground from the surface, from precipitation (rain and snow) and from lakes and streams. There it remains, sometimes for long periods, before emerging at the surface again. At first thought it seems incredible that there can be enough space in the “solid” ground underfoot to hold all this water.
题目:
Which of the following can be inferred from paragraph 1 about the ground that we walk on?
A It cannot hold rainwater for long periods of time.
B It prevents most groundwater from circulating.
C It has the capacity to store large amounts of water.
D It absorbs most of the water it contains from rivers.
很显然原文At first thought it seems incredible that there can be enough space in the “solid” ground underfoot to hold all this water. 为我们提到很难想象,在如此“坚实”的地下,会有足够的空间来盛如此之多的水,这里就很隐晦的告诉我们其实地下并不“坚实”,而是还有很多的空间,来盛放groundwater,因此我们得到的正确答案就是C选项,也就是原来我们行走的这片土地之下还有足够的能力来承载如此之多的水。
很显然,这里也是很隐晦的告诉我们地下空间其实是很大的。
怎么样,老托福听力和大家接触较多的新托福听力是不是有很大差别呢?对于听力水平较低的同学而言,可以从老托福听力开始练习,选好练习材料非常重要,不要一开始就直接练习新托福真题。因为真题具有一定难度,如果考生的水平不是很高,会出现听不懂得状态,很容易打击信心。小编在此祝福大家在备考托福的道路上,越挫越勇,最后收获理想的成绩!
