托福題型及測試要點,Test of English as a Foreign Language,Educational Testing Service (ETS),美國教育考試服務(wù)中心（Educational Testing Service，簡稱ETS）成立于1947年，是目前世界上最大的私營非營利教育考試評估機構(gòu)，也是教育研究領(lǐng)域的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)者。該組織致力于為180多個國家的個人、教育機構(gòu)和政府部門提供服務(wù)，并在全球范圍內(nèi)開展、管理著每年1200多萬人次的考試，其中包括我們所熟悉的TOEFL 、GRE 、GMAT考試等。 ETS的對應(yīng)產(chǎn)品：SAT SAT（Scholastic Assessment Test），與GRE一樣是由ETS（即美國教育考試服務(wù)處）主持的考試，是絕大多數(shù)美國大學(xué)錄取本國高中生學(xué)術(shù)水平的評判標(biāo)準，相當(dāng)于美國的高考，也是世界各國高中生申請進入美國名校學(xué)習(xí)能否被錄取及能否得到獎學(xué)金的重要參考。在美國，ETS最出名的是美國大學(xué)入學(xué)考試，像SAT（本科），GRE和GMAT。 ,Graduate Record Exam (GRE),1. GRE考試是研究生的入學(xué)考試，它適用于除了法律（需參加LSAT考試）與商業(yè)（需參加GMAT考）以外的各種學(xué)科與專業(yè)的研究生考試。 2. GRE考試分為兩種，一種是普通GRE考試（GRE General），也就是大部分中國學(xué)生參加的GRE考試。另一種是專項GRE考試(GRE Subject)。參加GRE專項考試的中國考生并非很多，因為大多數(shù)美國院校不要求提供專項GRE成績，只要求普通GRE成績。 3. GRE考試分兩種：其一是一般能力或稱傾向性測驗（General test或Aptitude Test），其二是專業(yè)測驗或稱高級測驗（Subject Test 或Advanced Test）。一般能力測驗是測驗考生的基本英語能力以及對英文方面知識所涉及的廣度和深度，其中數(shù)學(xué)部分（Quantitative）是測驗考生基本數(shù)學(xué)的潛在能力和對數(shù)理方面問題的理解與判斷；分析邏輯（Ana1ytica1 and Logical Diagram）是測驗考生對問題的分析或邏輯推理等方面的能力。,Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT),1. GMAT是研究生管理科學(xué)入學(xué)考試的簡稱。美國、英國、澳大利亞等國家的高校都采用GMAT考試的成績來評估申請入學(xué)者是否適合于在商業(yè)、經(jīng)濟和管理等專業(yè)的研究生階段學(xué)習(xí)，以決定是否; 2. GMAT考試不僅考查申請人的語言能力和數(shù)學(xué)能力，還要測試其頭腦反應(yīng)、邏輯思維和解決實際問題的能力。一般來說，GMAT考試可以比較真實地反映應(yīng)試者的英語水平，因而受到越來越多的專業(yè)和學(xué)校的重視和好評。目前，全世界的近千所大學(xué)采用GMAT考試; 3. 考試包括語文（Verbal）、數(shù)學(xué)（Quantitative）和分析性寫作（Analytical Writing Questions）三部分試題。,Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL),1. TOEFL是由美國教育考試服務(wù)處（Educational Testing Service）舉辦的，為申請去美國或加拿大等國家上大學(xué)或入研究生院學(xué)習(xí)的非英語國家的學(xué)生提供的英語水平考試。 2. 至今為止，美國和加拿大共有2300多所院校規(guī)定，凡是外國學(xué)生申請到該校入學(xué)學(xué)習(xí)的，必須提供TOEFL，GRE，GMAT或TSE的某一項或兩項標(biāo)準化考試證明，只有達到學(xué)校所要求成績的報考者，才能取得入學(xué)和申請獎學(xué)金的資格。 3. 除了美國、加拿大等大部分國家的高等院校外，歐洲（如英國）、大洋洲（如澳大利亞、新西蘭）以及東南亞一些國家和地區(qū)也都已承認TOEFL考試成績。近幾年來，國內(nèi)的聯(lián)合國駐華機構(gòu)和外企及合資企業(yè)在招聘錄用職員時，或國際基金組織在測試職員的英語水平時，也都采用TOEFL考試成績。,考試結(jié)構(gòu),1. 托福考試分讀、聽、說、寫四個部分, 對學(xué)生的閱讀、聽力、口語、寫作四項英語語言能力進行綜合測試。 2.

(全文總結(jié)),Sample: Reading material,Wilson College is a small private institution of higher education. One of its former students donated an enormous bequest to his mother school, and he lodged a stipulation only that his incredible bequest must be utilized to make his mother school an even more pleasant place to study in. to meet his demand, college administrators and faculty structured a committee to find out how to spend the bequest.,Soon, the first committee meeting was held. On the meeting, the member of the committee rapidly divided into two factions. A delegate of the administration represented the one faction, while the head of the faculty led the other faction. After significant wrangling, they made a decision that one week later the committee meeting would be convoked again to present their own plan for dealing with the bequest. During this week, they could prepare reference to support their plan.,The committee congregated as scheduled. The administrators faction was the first to state their plan for using the bequest. In the statement, they assumed that there were numerous worthy uses for the money. Their proposal could be drawn into three points. First, they maintained that an innovative classroom building should be built to make the campus larger for all the classes. If the campus had adequate space, it could meet the demands of the extra students. Whats more, it could bring about additional tuitions. In addition to the new classroom building, the administrators also wished to consume part of the bequest on a new gymnasium they had which is more than 70 years old. Finally, they intended to raise their salary by the remaining in the bequest, citing the fact that their pay was 10% below the national average.,Professor: The administrators first point that adds a new classroom building was supported by the faculty, because they extremely recognized that the college truthfully needed more classroom space for teaching. However, the faculty powerfully objected more students could be admitted to the college by using the new classroom space. They held that the existing overcrowded classes should be decreased, and desired to utilize the additional classroom space to attain their goal. What they worried was the present high class size would preserve if additional students were admitted after a new classroom building was constructed.,Listening material,As to the administrators second point, the faculty also recognized that the 70-year-old gymnasium was a crisis, but they still didnt wholly agree with the administrators opinion. They believed that renovating the current gymnasium instead of building an utterly new gym was a better way to spend the bequest. Tearing it down was awfully a waste.,What really enraged the faculty was the administrators third point that the administrators wished to spend part of the bequest on pay rises for themselves. This proposal dreadfully shocked the faculty. Indeed, the administrative salaries at the school were 10% below the average standard. However, the faculties were also paid low salaries which were below the national salaries. They powerfully believed that any additional money in the bequest should be spent on scholarships for students, after adding a new classroom building and renovating the old gymnasium.,Listening material,Listen to the passage. On a piece of paper, take notes on the main points of the listening passage. Question: How is the information in the listening passage related to the ideas in the reading passage?,Sample answer,In this set of materials, both passages discuss a problem that Wilson College has been donated a large sum of money by a former student and a committee is established to compromise administrators and facultys disagreement on how the money should be used. In the listening material, the faculty comes up with their own suggestions, though three ways as well, they disagree in a great number of details.,First of all, what both the faculty and the administration suggest is that a new classroom building is badly needed. However, they disagree on how the building should be used. The administrators want a new building so that it can bring them a great deal of extra students, but the faculty wants the new classrooms aiming at that class sizes can be reduced.,In addition, both the faculty and administrators agree that the gymnasium is too old, but they do not agree on how to deal with the problem. The administrators want to tear down the old gymnasium and rebuild an entirely new one while the faculty want to renew the old one.,Finally, the faculty and the administrators have a big divergence over the third way to spend the money. The administrators want to use some of the money to raise their pays, but the faculty holds the opinion that this idea is really terrible. The faculty wants to use this part of the money for student scholarships.,Writing: Key points for Q1,The reasons for traveling have changed. In the past, people traveled for political or economic purposes; in modern times, people travel for personal enrichment and adventure. This is similar to the point in the reading that the earliest tourists traveled in search of resources, while later tourists traveled for cultural, educational, and scientific purposes. Hemingway illustrates the conquest ideal in tourism and was very influential. This is similar to the point in the reading that Hemingway exposed people to the possibilities of journeying to faraway lands for adventure.,Ethnic tourism is a new kind of cultural tourism in which tourists learn about aboriginal cultures. This is similar to the point in the reading that young Europeans took “grand tour” to expand their cultural horizons; it also differs because the European example occurred in the 17th century rather than the present. Environmental tourism is traveling to wilderness areas to observe, photograph, and learn about the nature. This is similar to the point in the reading that people traveled to observe and preserve he natural world; it also differs from the point in the reading that people traveled to hunt.,獨立性寫作的標(biāo)準和說明 (250),A response at 5 Score Level # effectively address the task by clearly starting an opinion; # well-organized and -developed with appropriate examples, reasons, or details; # use language effectively, with sentence variety and appropriate word choice and only occasional minor language errors.,Writing,指點迷津,1. ?？碱}要選機考界面的 2. 突擊聽力成漲分關(guān)鍵 3. 詞匯大回鍋做個總復(fù)習(xí) 托福考試要求考生詞匯量要大，這完全是為了閱讀服務(wù)。因為閱讀中有近13的題目都是考的詞匯題，每篇文章都會有4道題考查詞匯同義詞、近義詞，比重相當(dāng)大，考生如果詞匯量大，比較吃香。 竅門：詞匯的重要性毋庸置疑了，而海量的詞匯要表現(xiàn)出來，打字又是個關(guān)鍵。要練好打字，又快又準確，拼寫一定不能馬虎。,獨立性寫作舉例 1,Situation: People attend college or university for many different reasons (for example, new experiences, career preparation, increased knowledge, etc.). Why do you think people attend college or university? Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer. Why Do We Attend College?,After the completion of the education in the high school, we join in a college. We enter an environment which looks completely new for us. We have to face new lecturers, new classmates and to make new friends. As far as I am concerned, its compulsory for every one of us to attend a college. The reasons are as follows. Knowledge is divine. We attend college to improve our knowledge and skills. Without knowledge we cant survive in this world. The knowledge gained through hard work will definitely benefit us in the future.,The second reason for us to attend college is, to pursue a degree. With the degree we may continue our further studies or apply for a job. This will become our prerogative. It depends upon our ambition and goal. We can socialize our life by attending a college. The rules and regulations laid down by a college help us to lead our life in a disciplined manner. Also, in a college we meet different kinds of people with different attitudes and ways of thinking. We can learn a lot from them. By communicating with them we can exchange our ideas and views, which help us (to) improve our knowledge. Also, we can get rid of the problem of stage fear by participating in the seminars and group discussions.,The exams in a college are very much useful to us. Exams are conducted in order to test our ability in a particular subject. No one should be absent from the exams. We should not lose heart when we fail in an exam. We have to know the reasons for our failure and take further preventive steps and try to do well in the next exam. By preparing for the exams we are able to judge our strength as well as our weakness. Strict1y speaking, exams make us learn. In conclusion, college days are the best days in a persons life. We wont have the freedom in a job or work as we have in college. So, in order to be successful in life we have to efficiently use the time and freedom in our college.,獨立性寫作舉例 2,Situation: Some people believe that university students should be required to attend classes. Others believe that going to classes should be optional for students. Which point of view do you agree with? Use specific reasons and details to explain your answer.,Some people may believe that going to classes should be optional, but I disagree. I dont understand how university students can expect to learn anything if they dont attend classes. Personal experience can help people learn about themselves and the world outside the classroom, but when it comes to learn about academic subjects, students need to be in class. In class, students receive the benefit of the teachers knowledge. The best teachers do more than just go over the materials in the class textbook. They draw their students into discussion of the material. They present opposing points of view. They schedule guest speakers to come and give the students additional information.,In addition, attending classes on any subject teaches more than just facts. It teaches students how to learn, how to absorb information and then apply what they have learned to other situations. Their teacher is the best one to help them with these skills. Going to class also teaches st
