Passage
New Library Workspaces
Say good-bye to the big, multi person study tables in Turner library. This summer, the tables will be exchanged for new personal study cubicles—small, one-person desks enclosed by walls. These new units will allow students to have privacy and work in isolation and will therefore eliminate noise in the library so students can concentrate. Additionally, the cubicles will enable the library to accommodate the recent increase in the number of students attending our university. Although the current tables seat six students each, they make poor use of available floor space. The cubicles, on the other hand, are designed for maximum space efficiency, and the library can therefore add 50 new seats.
Conversation
Now listen to two students discussing the announcement.
Man：They’re making a mistake.
Woman： What do you mean?
Man：Look, They’re trying to do away with distractions so that we can study better. But with this change, we won’t have anywhere in the library to get together to work on group projects.
Woman： True. Group project work is common these days.
Man： So, instead of buying these new units. They should use the money to build meeting rooms, and that would reduce any noise in the main library areas.
Woman：Yeah, that’s what we could really use. There’s just not as much need to work in isolation.
Man：Exactly. And the other thing is, what’s this about overcrowding? Well, sure we have more students enrolled in the university this year, but do we really have a problem with overcrowding?
Woman：I don’t think so. I always get a whole table to myself.
Man： Right. I see empty tables there all the time.
It’ll just be a waste of money to replace what we have. Since what we have now is sufficient for the amount of students that use the library.
Question
The man expresses his opinion about the upcoming change. State his opinion and explain the reasons he gives for holding that opinion.
Key Points
1. concentrate
2. more students
TPO17口语Task3参考答案(范文模板)：
The man doesn’t agree with the schoo ls plan to replace all the study tables with cubicles in the library. According
to the school, the cubicles will enable students to have more privacy and also get rid of a lot of the noise so that they can study better, but the man says that if the tables are gone, it will be impossible for students to work on group-projects. So he thinks that instead of spending money on cubicles, the school should spend it on building meeting rooms, which would reduce noise in the library. The school also notes that the t ables don’t make good use of space, so replacing them with cubicles will add more study space and accommodate the increasing number of students enrolled at the school, but the man points out that there really isn’t a space problem and he always sees empty tables there, so he feels replacing the tables would just be waste of money.

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:

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.

Task3 学校决定关闭广播站，因为听众跟志愿者太少了。对话中学生反对，他提出两个解决问题的方法。首先，广播站可以提供网络节目，这样学生收听就更方便了;其次，可以给志愿者学生提供学分、吸引他们参与，这样广播站就会有稳定的节目了。 Task4 文章主旨是Eminent domain，指的是政府有时会需要公民牺牲私有财产(地产)以支持市政建设。教授讲到他叔叔的例子。他的叔叔住在加州，政府决定造铁路以缓解交通堵塞，可铁路会穿过他的居住区。虽然这是私人地产，但这个铁路项目对于整个区域的公民非常有益，因此他叔
叔的地产只能被占用，但他得到了部分赔偿。 Task5 对话中女生碰到一个问题，她上班可能要迟到了，因为路上施工、交通太堵了，她有两个办法解决这个问题：第一，她可以提前15分钟下课，但是教授会复习以及布置作业，这部分很重要;第二，她可以调班至周末上班，但是她周末已经安排了远足活动，那天天气很好，要是不能去就太可惜了。 Task6 文章主旨是两种水源受到污染的原因。第一种原因是沉积物增加，比如说水源附近有施工项目，那么泥沙就可能会进入河道污染水源。第二种是富营养化，农业灌溉时会把肥料带入水中，造成水藻疯狂生长，从而影响生态平衡，污染水源。 2015年12月13日托福口语真题.doc [全文共666字] 编号：6305803
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.
