2013年3月托福写作预测机经
24号的大陆地区托福考试又是以北美+大陆的乱拼形式出现，这一点已经不足为奇。

因算上这一次，今年大陆地区考试中已经出现了五次这样的情况，占到考试总是5/9。

这次考试中命中了听力和口语1、2、4、5、6。

虽然24号的考试以北美+大陆的乱拼形式出现并不新鲜，但是前几场相比还有一个明显的变化——前几场中的大陆旧题都是出现在口语和写作部分，这次除了口语和写作部分重复了大陆题，阅读也重复了2011年8月28号的考题(在2010年5月22号的北美考过)。

这也意味着对于大陆旧题的重复很有可能慢慢会延伸至阅读和听力。

对比博主会监控考试，请各位随时关注博客和微博的信息更新。

另外，在24号的考试中又出现了3套新的大陆旧题，所以随后在预测补丁中会加入相对应的机经。

最后，从目前形势来看，至少口语和写作部分重复大陆机经已经形成了一定趋势。

所以，对于预测补丁，各位考生也一定要认真对待，好好复习。

因为classroom小学生想上课但是上不去，她说自己想去Chinese art class，可是班级小只能去15个人，所以她没进去。

然后第二是她没有high tech machine的时候painting 跟石膏都很blur，看不清楚details，可是一束的excellence主要在details上。

托福阅读经典加试题机经汇总资料说明：托福阅读或听力部分，会在考试时要求考生多完成一篇阅读或者二篇听力，作为题目难以度的检测，一般而言加试阅读的数量为两篇文章，加试听力则是加三个听力段子。

随着热心考生的增多，这些试题，包括原文，题目和答案都被回忆整理出来了，叫做托福经典加试题机经。

本文档是托福阅读经典加试题部分。

“机经”这个说法，最早可能源于机考GRE的年代——在那段时间内的多次考题是可能完全重复的（一般以“自然月”为周期）。

常出现的情形是：月末参加考试的同学遇到的试题，居然与月初的试题完全一致。

所以，尽管我们在参加这些标准化考试之前都需先“签字画押”（签订保密协议，同意绝不将试题内容透露给任何第三方），但仍有“热心”的同学愿意在网络上回顾、分享自己考过的试题，这也就给后来参加考试的同学们创造了提前熟悉某些将要考到的真实考题的机会。

与之类似，机经在新托福（iBT）考试出现后，也逐步流行了起来，因为自从托福将纸笔考试（PBT）改革成计算机考试之后，也出现了重复出题的现象（尽管它并不是以自然月为周期的，但总归是重复了很多次，还是有规律可寻的）。

按照陈睿老师的说法，科班出身的理工科专业人才使用STATA或SPSS等统计软件来“处理数据、总结规律”的能力还是不可小觑的。

于是同学们总能看到诸多预测机经，也总能够听到我们的机经预测命中的消息。

这看上去貌似是一件皆大欢喜的事情。

但事实上，若同学们有缘读到这篇小短文，我最想对大家说的一句话却是“机经可能并不如你想象中的那么有用”。

尽管我们制作的“机经材料”经常命中考题，但我却时常在各类讲座中宣传“机经无用论”。

因为在一个真正经过了精心设计、目的是考查学生语言能力的测试中，出题者并不是那么在意学生是否已经提前了解了部分试题。

2013年4月3日GMAT阅读考试预测李琳老师简介：【特色】纯正美式发音、激情、幽默【经历】北外英语专业高材生，多伦多大学进修。

曾在多伦多教育局任英语老师，贝尔公司等担任管理职位，回国后在CRI Easy FM中国国际广播电台任新闻主播和双语谈话节目主持人。

本月预测重点：语文部分包括41个多项选择题，内容涉及阅读理解、评论性推理和句子改错三种类型。

3月2日换库后，为大家整理这个月的GMA T阅读机经，这篇GMA T阅读机经是关于环境与经济的文章，考生朋友可以看看，下面的内容为考古内容，分享给大家，希望对大家有所帮助，文中观点仅供参考。

[V1]第一篇是关于环境与经济的文章。

中心名词实在不记得了关于ecoxxxx的有些学者认为人们为了谋求经济利益使得ecological system degradation了。

举个了关于hotel resort的例子说明在一些海岸线附件建酒店影响生态(这里高亮，问作者提到hotel resort 的目的是什么)。

接下来有个学者XX，认为传统的观点有问题。

提出要evaluate有些自然环境是否能带来实际的经济效益。

另一个学者又说了一个观点。

突然脑残不记得了。

但两个学者的观点不一致。

考古未确认12.环境保护与经济效益V1:一片说环境保护应该用经济效益来衡量V2: 大概内容是。

环境保护与经济效益的关系?其中有个小小的例子是沿着河有开发的宾馆什么的。

然后行文最后的态度(个人理解)是，环境保护与经济效益并驱还有很长的路要走。

V3：主题是围绕“要考虑到生态环境系统的经济价值”这个观念。

第一段首先定义了这个价值，然后描述了一下怎么怎么被人们忽略。

第二段就分别讲了两个人来解释为什么需要普及应用这个观念。

题目能记得清的是在第一段作者举了一个“costal hotel”的例子，问举例作用V4: 环境保护是MoneyXXX的。

通常人们会偏好于实际的、量化的利益，譬如建设旅游景点而非建设保护地。

20 cases of measles a day are now being diagnosed in Swansea epidemic风疹传染病正在席卷斯温西,平均每天有20个确诊病例●Number of confirmed cases has risen to 588确诊病例已经增加到了588●Up to 20 new cases a day are being reported by GPs, with 109 new ones in aweek over the Easter period●Health officials have estimated around 3,800 children in the Swansea areahave still not had the MMR vaccine卫生官员估计斯温西地区大约3,800的儿童还没有接种麻疹疫苗这是文章的主旨大意概括.The number of confirmed cases of measles in the Swansea epidemic has risen to 588, health officials in Wales said today.The latest figures(最新数字) show that 40 new cases of the disease have been diagnosed since Wednesday.Up to 20 new cases a day are being reported by GPs, with 109 new ones in a week over the Easter period.Health officials have estimated around 3,800 children in the Swansea area have still not had the MMR vaccine and parents are being asked to act.With cases of measles continuing to soar, parents are being urged to get their children vaccinated随着麻疹病例的急剧增加,政府催促家长给孩子接种疫苗Special vaccination clinics have been arranged for this weekend, as fears grow about the virus spreading to neighboring areas(附近地区).Dr Marion Lyons, Director of Health Protection for Public Health Wales, said: 'The alarming(令人但担忧的) numbers of cases of measles and continuing spread of the disease in Wales illustrates how vital it is for parents to get their children vaccinated.(令人担忧的麻疹病例数字,威尔士疾病的持续传播,都说明了让家长给孩子接种疫苗的重要性)这句话句式很好,值得借鉴'Unvaccinated children aged between six and 12 months living in or travelling to the outbreak areas(疫情爆发的地区) of Swansea and Neath Port Talbot can be offered vaccination by their GP(GP=General Practitioner, a physician who is not a specialist but treats all illnesses全科医生).'There's no adverse effect（副作用）to this extra jab（注射）and those childrenwould still need to receive the recommended two doses（剂量）at 13 months and three years four months.'Dr Lyons added（补充说）that increasing numbers of people coming forward for the MMR vaccination was encouraging - with just under 600 people in the Abertawe Bro Morgannwg University Health Board area alone receiving an unscheduled（事先未安排的）MMR vaccine in the past seven days.'We are really pleased to see that 586 people have proactively（主动地）got the MMR vaccine over the past week, on top of those already scheduled to have it,' she added.'Though this is a good start, there are still thousands of children who have not had both doses of the MMR jab and so are still at risk（处于危险中）from becoming infected with（被感染）the potentially fatal measles virus（有致命危险的麻疹病毒）.（虽然开端很好，但是还是有成千上万的儿童还没有注射两剂麻疹疫苗，他们还处在被感染致命麻疹病毒的危险之中。

第一篇：Agricultural Management in the Late Aztec society版本一：一个什么地区的农业问题。

讲了农业上三个问题，假设是ABC吧。

A是家庭就可以完成。

B是灌溉，建设起来工程大，维护起来很费力，是政府介入的，几个城市还是分别独立的不影响。

C是既有A的特点又有B的特点(这句话有改写题，改写成：C像B一样建设和维护起来很麻烦需要政府的力量，也像A一样后期可以家庭就可以实现不需要政府的力量)。

版本二：第一篇：mesoamerica的农业，讲那个地方的人农业很密集，但都是各户耕种就足以自足了，后来又有政府神马的公众机构涉入，建造和maintain河道(好像是河道)Aztec AgricultureFarming provided the basis of the Aztec economy. The land around the lakes was fertile but not large enough to produce food for the population, which expanded steadily as the empire grew. To make more land suitable for farming, the Aztec developed irrigation systems, formed terraces on hillsides, and used fertilizer to enrich the soil. Their most important agricultural technique, however, was to reclaim swampy land around the lakes by creating chinampas, or artificial islands that are known popularly as “floating gardens.” To make the chinampas, the Aztec dug canals through the marshy shores and islands, then heaped the mud on huge mats made of woven reeds. They anchored the mats by tying them to posts driven into the lake bed and planting trees at their corners that took root and secured the islands permanently. On these fertile islands they grew corn, squash, vegetables, and flowers.Aztec farmers had no plows or work animals. They planted crops in soft soil using pointed sticks. Corn was their principal crop. Women ground the corn into a coarse meal by rubbing it with a grinding stone called a mano against a flat stone called a metate. From the corn meal, the Aztec made flat corn cakes called tortillas, which was their principal food. Other crops included beans, squash, chili peppers, avocados, and tomatoes. The Aztec raised turkeys and dogs, which were eaten by the wealthy; they also raised ducks, geese, and quail.Aztec farmers had many uses for the maguey plant (also known as the agave), which grew in the wild to enormous size. The sap was used tomake a beerlike drink called pulque, the thorns served as needles, the leaves were used as thatch for the construction of dwellings, and the fibers were twisted into rope or woven into cloth.Aztec SocietyAgricultureThe pre-conquest Aztecs were an empire that prospered agriculturally, and they did so without the wheel or domestic beasts of burden. They had four main methods of agriculture that were quite successful. The earliest, most basic form of agriculture implemented by the Aztecs is known as “rainfall cultivation.” The Aztecs also implemented terrace agriculture in hilly areas, or areas that could not be used for normal farming. Terracing allowed for an increased soil depth and impeded soil erosion. The terraces were built by piling up a wall of stones parallel to the contour of the hillside. Dirt was then filled in, creating viable, flat farmland. There were three types of terrace agriculture, each one used for specific circumstances. The three types were; hillslope contour terraces (steeper slopes), semi-terraces (gentle slopes, walls were made with Maguey plants rather than stones), and cross-channel terraces. Terracing was used mostly in the highlands of the Aztec empire. The Aztecs invented the wheel for the use of their children but not for them.In the valleys of the empire, irrigation farming was used. Dams diverted water from natural springs to the fields. This allowed for harvests to be successful on a regular basis. The prosperity of a field was not dependent upon the rain. Irrigation systems had been in place long before the Aztecs. However, they built canal systems that were longer and much more elaborate than any previous irrigation systems. They even managed to divert a large portion of the Cuauhtitlan River to provide irrigation to large areas of fields. The network of canals was a very complex and intricate system.In the swampy regions along Lake Xochimilco, the Aztecs implemented yet another method of crop cultivation. They built what are called chinampas. Chinampas are areas of raised land, created from alternating layers of mud from the bottom of the lake, and plantmatter/other vegetation. These “raised beds” were between 2 and 4 meters wide, and 20 to 40 meters long. They rose about 1 meter above the surface of the water, and were separated by narrow canals, which allowedfarmers to move between them by canoe. The chinampas were extremely fertile pieces of land, and yielded, on average, seven crops annually. In order to plant on them, farmers first created “seedbeds,” or reed rafts, where they planted seeds and allowed them to germinate. Once they had, they were re-planted in the chinampas. This cut the growing time down considerably.第二篇：日本气候版本一：日本的气候，受两气流的影响，西伯利亚气流和啥，一冷一暖，有图。

2013年4月托福听力预测机经Conversation1一个女学生是教授助理，去休假，回来后问教授关于论文写作的事，她想写有关Dolphins 的论文。

女生提到度假中查了20世纪80年代的老资料，教授说太老了应该查2004年的资料，这样才能显示出她认真做过一定的文献分析工作。

另外，教授提醒女生注意选题，因为他期望女生在论文中体现出analysis on problems而不是仅仅做summary。

女生补充说度假时有单位给她工作offer，教授提议不如先读个master。

女生说还是倾向于先工作再读master。

Lecture 1对一个南极探险者的评价的变化。

有一个英国探险家去南极因为气候太差，结果没回来。

后来他的老婆就把他的notes整理出书了，引起轰动，成了one of the best seller, 整个英国都把这个人当英雄，大人孩子都特别喜欢他。

老师说这有两个原因：1. 历史原因，二战之前人人恐慌，有英雄情结 2.他的夫人做了编辑整理和润饰宣传。

然后来有个人又去南极，然后觉得那个所谓的英雄特别笨，这里有个双选题问批评他什么，有一个是组织能力，另外一个是没有用雪橇犬。

再后来又有个女的要为这个英雄正名，就研究了那个时候的一些天气数据，发现那个weather特别糟糕(这里有题)，以Coldest March为题出版，表明当时的三月异常寒冷，因此更突显这个英国探险家的特别不容易。

结尾的时候老师说"you might think why it was so late", 问教授干嘛这么说，意思是说这个女的没有解答全部的质疑者的问题。

Lecture 2根据老鼠胡子设计机器人，刚开始时候不知道老鼠胡子的感受原理。

机器人设计完了知道了。

机器人有感受器，接收了电脑重建image发现很准。

后来说老鼠胡子长度能感受texture，长短感受光不光滑是不一样的，这个机器人还不行。

最后老师说还没有提到light sensors，机器人以后会有很多功能，比如在黑暗的地方进行作业等。
