2011.5.14王京竹托福写作预测,大家可以可以根据托福预测,在考前好好准备,掌握,希望可以真正的帮助大家!2011.5.14王京竹托福写作预测最重点机经(7套)——日期按照推荐阅读的顺序排列2009年11月07日北美写作机经综合写作Easter Island 大石像如何从interior 搬到coast的;1 pulling,2walking,3rollinglecturer反对,分别因为:1没有足够人力pulling;2石像底座没有损坏,所以不是walking;3rolling也不对因为go down the hill不可能不不搞碎石像。
独立写作For successful development of a country, should a government focus itsbudget more on very young children education rather than on universities?2010年03月12日北美写作机经综合作文:讲congestion pricing。
说为了缓解交通拥堵,解决办法就是在city中的某个区域收费,这样就能缓解一下。
第一个point. 这样做可以improve time(主要就是说节省时间)第二个point. 可以改善环境improve that area's environment第三个point. 收的fee可以用于revenue(这个单词没记住怎么拼大概就)thecity可以再修路,修桥什么的:lecture中,professor否定了这个观点。
1. 他认为这样做有些司机不愿意花钱走这个区域就得绕路,更浪费时间。
举了个例子:送快递的,他们要省钱,所以送快递的时候会变长。
2.在收费区里面环境可能会好点,但是周围的车相对就会增多,noise and airpollution就会多。
所以不是整个city都能环境变好3.有的人不能afford这个费用了,就会去坐subway,政府就得出更多的钱维护subway,这样一来收的那点钱可能还不够维护的,所以也不能起到帮助修桥,修路什么的作用了英文版:It’s about the cities' congestion pricing policy; the reading is in the positiveattitude: 1.time saving 2.good for the environment 3.considerable revenue.While,the speaker refutes the three points one by one.独立写作:Agree or disagree? If child want to do well i in school, parents should limit the hours ofwatching TV programs or movies。
TCF机经回忆2011年3月16日上午考点是C开头的,那个考点的工作人员应该不会高兴的我考到的是TCF,结果是B2里面的孙山= =…RP大爆发,呵呵…. 秉承百度文库的“前人栽树,后人乘凉”的优秀传统。
听力(不是按照顺序来):1.丈夫陪妻子逛街,丈夫跟在妻子身后,手提购物袋un sac,听到falner dans les magasin 问最符合情景的一句话。
Monsieur…suit la femme avec les achats…2.在一个厨房里,男的要帮女的做什么事,女的先是拒绝了,说自己来就行,merci,后来男的又建议另外一项帮忙,女的说si vous voulez 什么的,然后merci .我选elle accept…et remerci3.一男一女讨论电影,男生说剧本scenario不错,女生说音乐和表演都不好,男的对音乐也表示不赞同。
问他们都不喜欢什么,答la musique4.一位男士陪一位女士购物,男士对女士有意购买的物品称赞其couper很好而且很优雅,女士说好是好,但是只适合une soirée 我所遇到的题目选项有 A .boucle d’oreille B .lunettes C .pantalon D. Robe 说实话这道题本身的争议不应该那么大的,在我看来,讲一件物体的couper很好,绝对是纺织物,不可能是什么以前机经里讲的chaussures。
就像英语里面讲cutting很好,就是说剪裁很好,再加上说用于une soirée,也不可能是只是一个晚上,而是讲一个晚会或晚宴,那么pantalon怎么会对于女士来说适宜用于晚会呢?地球人都知道晚宴女士应该穿robe,这是交际的惯例和基本的礼仪。
因此,我没有像以往的机经里选的pantalon,尽管我知道很多机经都建议选它,但我还是跟从自己的判断,选了robe。
建议各位自行斟酌判断,这点时间还是有的。

2011年法语TEF新机经机经是必须的,法语考试的题库很多年都懒的变的。
我那时考TCF 机经中了至少10题,而且很多题目的出现几率很高,对于难度大的题目机经也不是很可信。
自己还得考试的时候判断。
都背下来吧总会有用的。
如果今年改革变题库,那只能祈祷了。
机经不是葵花宝典切记。

宏皓:美国金融机构操纵黄金的历史20世纪70年代的亨特兄弟白银操纵案,为投资界广为所知,他们因为操纵行为失败而被曝光在众人视线之中,事实上,在每一次经济周期循环中,如同亨特兄弟白银操纵案这样的坐庄行为不停的在各个市场或大或小的发生着,如国际黄金市场。
自上个世纪七十年代美元金汇兑本位崩溃之后,全球黄金市场开始走向了市场化,各国央行再没有充足的理由大张旗鼓的来“保护”黄金。
黄金既不是生活必需品,也没有像原油一样成为某个政治集团的经济命脉,所以黄金的市场化在各国央行撒手之后一骑绝尘。
各国央行自1999年以来净售出黄金达5千吨,欧美发达国家对黄金的持有量逐渐减少,这些黄金被市场这只看不见的手转移到了其他地方,黄金市场的“庄家”也随之发生着改变。
发展中国家央行对黄金的兴趣虽然很高,但不可持续,因为想保证纸币的信用,各国央行必须首先要相信自己发行及控制纸币的能力,而不是以大量的存有黄金作为保证。
对于散户来说,每一次行情的波动都会出现买卖和交易行为,随着黄金市场在全球投资领域的盛行,诸多投资者购买黄金的目的主要是获利了结,纸黄金等账户黄金开始在市场上流行。
而实物黄金因其投资手续费及保管成本较高,慢慢被投资者所“抛弃”,很多散户持有者在经历了几波行情震荡之后,很自然的会将实物黄金抛向市场,转而在账户黄金方面满足其投资获利的目的。
这些黄金最终会流向哪里呢?如果我们把时间轴再拉长一些,就会发现真正实物黄金的落脚点是一些专业的黄金投资基金以及投资银行等金融机构,而不是央行或散户。
也就是说,对黄金价格影响最大的黄金投资市场的主要拥有者和性质正在发生着重要转变。
这个转变是非常清晰的,第一个阶段是各国黄金市场的开放,黄金从国家层面流向老百姓,但随着老百姓持有黄金的目的越来越明确(获利),对实物黄金的持有意愿越来越弱,慢慢的老百姓开始购买黄金基金、账户黄金、黄金期货/期权等。
实物黄金则以金融机构对黄金的回购业务流向了专业黄金投资基金和投资银行等;目前我们经历的正是第二个阶段,实物黄金从老百姓手中正流向基金和投资银行。

托福机经:什么是机经转播什么是托福机经?历次托福考试的内容。
是由参加考试的考生一点一滴回忆起来的,并非完全的真题还原。
什么是托福机经转播?1、托福机经转播(北美转播到大陆):如果大陆考试前一天北美有托福考试,且北美考的是新题,那么新题有可能在12小时后的大陆托福考试中重复。
E.g. 2011年1月29日北美有托福考试,1月30日大陆的考题完全重复29日北美考题2、托福机经转播(大陆转播到北美):如果大陆和北美同一天有托福考试,且大陆考的是新题,那么新题有可能在12小时后的北美托福考试中重复。
E.g.2011年2月26日北美和大陆都有托福考试,26日北美的考题完全重复26日大陆考题什么时候应该看转播?根据上面两条规律,参考2011年北美大陆托福考试日期对照表,如果12小时前有托福考试,就应该关注最新的机经。
什么是拼盘?从两套题中各选取阅读、听力、口语或写作部分,拼凑成一套完整的题目就是拼盘(E.g.2010年11月27日为北美09.02.21(R/W)+北美09.06.20(S/L)),有法(1)了解听力和阅读文章的话题。

考生能回忆出的细节一定都是重要的细节,非常值得我们记住甚至背诵,细节为一些文章的知识点,带着细节的了解再去听、读文章的效果是事半功倍的。
(4)牢记考点。
按照每篇文章考生的回忆考点题目,背诵答案!(5)熟记词汇。
词汇是文章最微小的元素,提前掌握词汇会让你在考场上如有神助,所向披靡的!——词汇都遇到了自己熟悉的词汇,你会觉得无比擅长文章的!2、写作机经使用建议(1)提前准备思路和模板。
根据话题大致将要书写的内容或者例子准备好,到考场上迅速精准的释放(2)提前些好范文。
就算不中标,也毕竟是真题,锻炼自己的写作能力。
写作机经后面附有参考答案,大家可以参考作者的思路和写作语言(3)对于综合写作提前了解听的和阅读的文章的要点更能让你的综合写作在考场上信手拈来!3、口语机经使用建议重中之重是------要练习并反复录音,直至背诵流利连贯。
美国国家航空航天局2011年年末回顾(一)[据美国国家航空航天局网站2011年11月30日报道] 2011年,NASA开始为人类深空探索研制一种大推力火箭,帮助树立一个商业航天飞行和技术突破的新时代,更充分地利用了新近完成的太空站,取得了有关宇宙的重大发现,其中许多工作都将使地球生命受益。
“今年真的是人类探索太阳系进入新时期的起点”,NASA局长查尔斯·博尔登说,“与取得有关地球和宇宙的重大发现一样重要的是,激发和教育着新一代的科学家和工程师工作,以及,正在通过NASA 9年以来首次审计改善(clean audit)使航天局保持稳固的财政基础的努力。
今年是整个NASA团队的里程碑之年。
”一、深空探索2011年,NASA走过了美国新型太空运输系统开发的几个里程碑,这一系统将作为美国未来人类太空探索工作的基础。
最初的决策是在5月底,NASA局长博尔登选择“猎户座”乘员探索飞行器作为将航天员送往低地轨道以远的航天器。
9月,博尔登宣布设计一种新型太空发射系统,这是一种大推力的运载火箭,可以将航天员送到前所未至的更远太空。
11月,NASA宣布计划在其与洛·马航天系统公司的合同中,于2014年初增加一次“猎户座”无人飞行试验。
探索飞行试验(EFT-1)经过两个临时轨道后,到达很高的地球轨道远地点,然后进行一次高能量的大气层再入,“猎户座”将降落于加利福尼亚海岸,并利用用于未来载人探索任务的作业方法回收。
今年一年,工程师们在斯坦尼航天中心对J-2X发动机进行了多次点火试验,在兰利航天中心对“猎户座”进行了多次水面溅落试验。
9月,NASA和ATK航天系统公司成功对Motor-3发动机进行了2分钟的全尺寸试验,这是航天局最大、最强的固体火箭发动机。
二、商业航天活动4月,NASA就航天局的第二轮商业乘员开发工作授予了四项航天活动协议,价值2.693亿美元。
每个公司获得2200万到9230万美元,用于发展商业乘员运输系统基本部分,如运载火箭和航天器,使系统部件的设计和开发成熟。
