一、iBT听力理解试题答题要求如下：
1．显而易见，听力材料的形式是会话和讲话两大类，还是只让考生听一次。听完答题的依据是听懂并理解它的主题，或称中心思想，以及抓好与此相关的事实细节。另一些问题有更高的要求。它不仅需要考生理解听力材料的意思（sentence meaning），并且需要考生判断说话人、讲话人的意图（utterance meaning）。新iBT听力理解允许考生在听的时候记笔记，以备答题时用。
2．听力材料的某些部分前标有这个图标，它表明这部分材料只供考生听，
考生看不到。有些问题有特殊的答题要求，它们会显示在屏幕的灰色格子里。大多数问题的分值为1分；如果某个问题的分值超过1分，该题的答题要求会告知考生，它是几分。
3．考生每题必答。答完一题，需点击“Next”，再点击“OK”确认，才能做下一题。点击“OK”确认后，不能返回至前一题。
4．听力理解部分的答题时限为20分钟。屏幕上方显示时限倒计时。在放送听力材料时，倒计时不再显示。新网络TOEFL考试听力理解的问题，供考生边听边读。
一．iBT听力理解材料的特点。
新TOEFL的听力理解材料由两类组成：对话或讨论；讲话或演讲。对话是两个说话人就某个话题进行、长度约300词左右的听力材料；讨论为多人参与的围绕某个主题展开、长度约800余词的听力材料；而讲话或演讲指一个说话人的讲话，如老师的讲课，长度约700至800词。新TOEFL的听力材料非常强调说话的真实性（authenticity）。所谓真实性，其一，它的语速与本族语说话人（English native speaker）的语速相仿；其二，听力材料中很自然地含有fillers：sort of, uh, um, so, well, etc.；和口语体：we’re gonna talk about ...; An’ I’m gonna get into…；以及说话人下意识的、或是为了强调而有意识的“重复（repetition）”；等等。另一个显著的特点是讲话与讨论融合。如教授的讲课与学生的讨论结合；讲课后教授与学生的问与答。
二．iBT听力理解问题的特点。
新TOEFL的听力理解的题型呈多元化趋势。它保留了其招牌式的、用来得心应手的“四选一”多项选择题，还新增加了“多选多”选择题。此外，试题中的填表和配对题是新面孔。与以往不同，iBT听力试题鼓励考生在听时做笔记，笔记可供考生答题时使用。请看以下样题。

□He wants the students to use the AHP software for an assignment.
□He does not think the AHP software is useful.
□He wants to give only a general explanation of AHP.
□He thinks the students can understand the mathematics without his help.
[Narrator: Listen again to part of the lecture. Then answer the question.]
[Professor: Of the houses you’re considering, uh, is cost more important than location or, say, one has a big kitchen but only two bedrooms. Is that OK?]
6. Why does the professor say this:
[This text will only be heard.]
[Professor: Is that OK?]
□To express uncertainty about the process.
□To indicate an example of a decision to be made.
□To check the students’ understanding of the process.
□To find out what the students prefer.
第5、6题是“复听题”。它要求考生在复听讲话某个段落才答题。复听题有两种。一种是问该复听部分的字面、句面意思（sentence meaning），另一种是问复听部分的涵义（utterance meaning）。那么，第5题属前者，第6题为后者。
下面是与第1至6题相关的讲话原文。
Professor:
OK, uh let’s um, let’s start. Uh, tonight we’re gonna talk about one approach to structuring decision-making on a specific topic, sort of um…oh when you’re in a decision-making process in a business situation, and you’ve got all the participants there sort of voicing opinions and negotiating, and there are lots of different factors to consider in your decision…uh, the technique we’re gonna talk about is uh, it’s a way to sort of structure that decision and arrive at a better decision. It’s called AHP, or Analytic, um, Analytic Hierarchy Process.
Now, the first step is to develop, a hierarchy by breaking the problem down into its components, and then prioritizing the com ponents, as you’ll see.
Now there’s some AHP software out there that lets you do the math, but I’m not gonna get into that level of detail now. The important thing that I want to talk about is not the mathematics of it so much as the concept.
I, I want you to understand the logic behind Analytic Hierarchy Process and the basic approach.
OK…so uh, let’s say, if I was trying to buy a house, a house is actually a pretty good example. It’s not a good example for a business class, necessarily, but it’ll certainl y do for today.
You, you start with your main goal. An’ then you break it down into smaller parts. All right…so uh, taking our example of, of buying a house…I would have to determine the goal for the house-hunting effort, uh choose the house that would be uh,…most, well, the best fit for my family. What would be your goal in trying to find a house? Well, uh let’s just say, make the best choice in, in buying a new house. Now, now that’s the goal.
So now that you’ve established a goal, you establish your crit eria. And um, under criteria I would list for me what were the important factors that will influence the decision. And…they would be things like uh, like the cost. And, uh what else? Uh, location. Location, I think, would typically be one in most of our models, and maybe one more. How about floor plan?—The layout of the rooms. So, so we have cost, location, floor plan…those might be our key criteria for choosing a house.
Then you get down to the subcriteria under each of these three criteria. So, so let’s s ay, under floor plan, the subcriteria are, you want a big kitchen, 3 bedrooms, a basement. And after you’ve determined all the criteria and subcriteria, um then you go back and you start making pairwise comparisons between them…uh, judgments about two of these things at a time.
Of the houses you’re considering, uh, is cost more important than location or, say, one has a big kitchen but only two bedrooms. Is that OK?
You move through the hierarchy making judgments about 1 pair of choices at a time. You see, it, it it’s designed to reflect the way people actually think…humans are much more,…capable of making relative rather than absolute judgments. Basically, we’ve reduced a rather complex decision into a series of one-on-one comparisons.
Um, so what AHP does is it requires me to develop a schematic model of what I’m looking for. So, so, right off the bat I have to articulate and think about and identify these factors, these criteria.
And when I start comparing the criteria, these factors, um, it enables me to come up with the relative importance of each factor at a given level in the model. So, in other words, what the model does is it helps us set our priorities, and it forces us to make our priorities explicit. It, it not, not only helps make the best decisi on, we’re also a lot clearer on why we made the decision. And understanding why we made the decision makes it easier to convince the boss or the shareholders that it’s a good decision.
为了进一步说明新TOEFL听力理解问题的特点，尤其是加深对复听题特征的认识，理顺解题思路，再举个例子。
9. Why will the w oman stop by the professor’s office on Friday morning?
□To return the video to the professor.
□To get the video from the professor.
□To hand in an assignment to the professor.
□To discuss the handouts with the professor.
[Narrator: Listen again to part of the conversation. Then answer the question.]
在复听题中，屏幕往往显示显示以上界面，同时听到与界面内容相同的旁白，让考生稍有片刻做好答题准备。第9题还是测量考生听懂句面意思的能力。下面第10题与第9题的测量目的完全不同，命题涉及语用学（pragmatics），它要求考生领悟说话人的言语目的。
[Professor: You know, that’s the fourth class you’ve missed this semester, and that’s not doing your grade any good. I assume you had a good reason for being out...]
10. Why does the professor say this:
[This text will only be heard.]
[Professor: I assume you had a good reason for being out...]
□To indicate that he i s not concerned about the woman’s absence.
□To assure the woman that her absence will not affect her grade.
□To indicate that he has finished discussing the woman’s absence.
□To encourage the woman to explain why she was absent.
仅依据Professor说的话的句面意思（sentence meaning），考生有可能选第一选择项。只有在领悟Professor的涵义（utterance meaning），并领会说话人的目的（intension of the speaker: to encourage the woman to explain why she was absent）后，才能选出该问题的最佳答案第四选择项。
[Professor: Okay, uh...
[regaining train of thought]
oh yes, the handouts. There were three of them, and I’ll get those for you in just
a minute. They’re pretty self-explanatory, but if you have any questions, just
send me an e-mail.]
11. What can be inferred about the professor?
□He is not planning to talk about the handouts now.
□He expects the woman to respond to questions in the handouts.
□He is concerned that the handouts may be difficult to understand.
□He is not sure if he has the handouts the woman needs.
第11题要求考生在理解self-explanatory的词义的基础上了推断说话人的说话意图（intension of the speaker: he is not planning to talk about the handouts now）。
问题除了上述几类，还有“选多题”。让我们分析它们的特点。
26. What are two key features of Pluto’s orbit mentioned in the discussion?
Click on 2 answers.
□Pluto’s orbit is influenced by Neptune’s gravity.

Click on 3 answers.
□It has an atmosphere.
□It is located in the Kuiper belt.
□It is composed of rock and ice.
□It is located too far from the Sun.
□It is much smaller than the other planets.
第26、27题是“选多题”，选择项的数量4项以上，答案的数量2个以上。因此，解题的方法是考生必须看清该选几个答案项，26题是从4个选择项中选2个答案，而27题则从5个选择项中选3个答案。
在熟悉并理解iBT听力试题的“答题要求（Directions）”、“听力材料（Listening Materials）”、“问题（Questions）”等方面之后，我们有层次、循序地作应试准备。

Other people prefer to move to different places. Which do you prefer and why? Use specific reasons and examples to support your response. sample answer: I prefer to move around a lot instead of settling in one place because first of all I believe most people’s growth comes with the changes in their lives. For example, after finishing my junior high school in China, I decided to go to Canada. This gives me an opportunity to be instructed in an entirely different manner. I’ve become a more independent thinker and learned how to look at things from different perspectives. If I were still studying in China, I quite doubt I would learn all this. Secondly, I think that by moving around, people are able to experience diverse circumstances which give them new experiences and broaden their views, and thus they can get more comprehensive understanding of the world, the society and life itself. 090403NA Speaking Question 1 童年学到了什么东西？ What did you learn in your childhood?

What charactereristics do you think a good teacher should have?（06. 3.3; 07. 11.3考题）
Sample answer： In my view, a good teacher should have different characteristics. First, a good teacher should be faithful and dedicated to the job. If a teacher is faithful to the job, then s/he never cheats and will be impartial（偏向）and students will respect such a teacher. If a teacher is dedicated towards his/her work, then s/he will teach with his/her heart. Another most important characteristic of a good teacher is patience. Teachers should never lose their patience in class when students ask questions repeatedly. A teacher should explain each and every aspect of the topic in the easiest way. Most of all, a good teacher should update his/her knowledge ‘cause further learning can make a good teacher re-discover the beauty of the teaching profession. 2. What are important characteristics you look for in friends?（06. 5.12; 06. 6.24; 07.1.27考题） Sample answer： I think what makes a good friend is someone who is honest, supportive, and has a good sense of humor. I just look for someone who's honest to me no matter what. He should not tell stories behind my back; he should tell me my short-comings at my mouth, but never praises me in front of me. It is a well known saying that "A FRIEND IN NEED IS A FRIEND INDEED." Therefore, a friend should stand by you in the hour of any sort of need. I just think that a good friend won't leave me if I'm in trouble. They can be my friends in sunshine and in shade, care for me even when the times are bad and even more when the times are great. Also, I'd love to spend more time with someone who can make me laugh and is fun to be around. 3. Describe a person that influenced you most.（06. 5.26; 06. 3. 17；06.10.22考题；与06.5.26类似） Sample answer： The person that really influenced me most was Ms. Xing---my college teacher who taught us English literature. Her class was quite different from the other teachers. In her class we were not expected to sit there and listen. We had to get more involved in the class activities, like discussions, comments or debates sometimes. Our creativity and imagination were developed enormously through the active participation. On the other hand, she let us think more about life by sharing her experiences and more importantly, she taught me how to live on my own. So that's why I was greatly influenced. Not only did she give me knowledge, but also she gave me courage and confidence as well.

题目：1. Talk about a book you have read that was important to you for some reason. Explain why the book was important to you. Give specific details and examples to explain your answer. 答案：Recently, I read a book named Keep the aspidistra flying.The book influences me a lot because the story has something that touches my heart. It talks about a man who wants to be a poet and who abandons many well-paying jobs to pursue his dream. I have a similar experience of quitting a very good job in order to be a writer. Also, the man in the story is lack of money, for he works as a bookstore assistant and thus has a very low salary. He lives in a shabby apartment and sometimes has no money to buy food. Again, I’ve got similar experience. I once lived in a cramped apartme nt alone and had no money. The book is important to me because it touches me and encourages me. 题目：2. Some people believe that television has had a positive influence on society. Others believe it has had a negative influence on society. Which do you agree with and why? Use details and examples to explain your opinion. 答案I think television has a positive influence on society. It’s a good source of news. The members in the society can get news easily from News Channels and thus keep themselves informed o f what’s happening around. Like, my grandfather watches News on TV everyday just to keep up with the latest events. Besides, television can be a kind of entertainment. People can watch different shows on TV such as funny talk shows and soap operas. I have many friends who like watching Late show with David Letterman and some other
12月10日托福口语真题 T1: which of the following three behaviors would you consider the most negative for kids? Being selfish, saying impolite things or speaking loudly in the public? I would say that speaking loudly might have the most negative impact on kids, as it could be pretty annoying and disturbing to others, and without being aware of this, the kids might have the bad habit of ignoring others’feeling in the long term. Imagine that you are watching a movie in a cinema or listening to a concert in a hall, a naughty boy is talking loudly over the phone or chatting with his friends all the way without caring about others, it could be a real nightmare. And this has happened a lot to me, for example last time when I went to see The Dallas Buyers Club, a bunch of kids were talking so loudly from the very beginning of the movie that I could barely catch a word from Ron Woodroof, and all the other viewers got so annoyed and disappointed for that. T2: Do you agree or disagree that to succeed we need to make enemies? Well I disagree with the opinion, coz it’s true that most of the time we do face a lot of competitors and rivals in order to succeed, but it doesn’t mean that we have to make enemies. Let’s take a look at LA Lakers, when Kobe Bryant joined Lakers as a Shooting Guard in 1996, he was facing a lot of equally strong competitors like Allen Iverson and Ray Allen, but at that time Shaquille O’Neal was already the second-to-none Center in the whole association. At the beginning, Shaquille and Kobe

Task2. About education 1.Some students prefer to have classes in the morning and do their part-time jobs in the evening. Others prefer to have classes in the evening and do their part-time job in the morning. Which do you prefer and why ?Use specific reasons and examples to support your response . As far as I am concerned, I prefer to have classes in the morning and do my part-time job in the evening. First of all, as a student, attending courses is of the first importance. Thus I should give priority to class rather than part-time job. If I do my part-time job in the morning, I will probably feel exhausted in the evening and pay no attention to my teacher in classes. I mean, studying in the morning is much more efficient than in the evening. So, I will choose to attend classes in the daytime. 2.Some students prefer to review their notes regularly; while others prefer to review their notes just before the test. Which do you prefer and explain why? As far as I am concerned, I prefer to review my notes regularly rather than just before the test. First of all, if the test is around the corner, having reviewed my notes regularly will not only diminish the time I spend on preparation for the test, but also probably get me a higher grade than those who review their notes just before the test. In addition, getting a good score is not the primary purpose of learning. Studying is for increasing one’s knowledge. And only through reviewing the note regularly, will a student achieve steady progress in study. 3.Some university students would prefer to study full-time; others would prefer to study part-time. Which do you prefer and why? As far as I am concerned, I prefer to study part-time rather than full-time. First of all, studying full-time is too stressful for me. Studying part-time will provide me with more time to review the lesson, and thus I will have a deep understanding of the knowledge. And, studying part-time can also provide me enough time to put my knowledge into practice. For example, my major is marketing, which is subject of the character of practice. And it is important for me to get a relevant job in the spare time. So, I prefer to study part time. 4.Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Students should always study in quiet places .Use specific reasons and examples to support your position. As far as I am concerned, students do not always need to study in quiet places. First of all, although it's common sense that quiet place is ideal for students, sometimes noise can not be avoided. For instance, there may be some people getting in and out of the study room in order to answer the phone or go to the toilet. Therefore it is very essential for students to bear some noises. And also, it is not the environment, but the mind that plays important role in learning efficiency. Mao Zedong, one of the greatest leaders of our country in history, used to read in the Tiananmen Square intently. And Mao was so concentrated on his book that he didn’t affect by the noisy environment.
