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。 SAMPLE QUESTIONS:
091031NA Speaking Question 1 Describe a person who always makes you laugh. Explain why the person is funny. Include details and examples in your explanation. sample answer: 091031NA Speaking Question 2 Some people prefer to live in a place most of their life. 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.
