本次新托福考试难度中等。

口语和写作部分考到了2008年北美8月16日的考试内容。

阅读部分，3个话题都比较冷门。

温度的变化这样的话题比较少见。

而第三篇文章考到了黑洞的前身，白矮星。

在巴朗上有一篇阅读话题就是黑洞。

和考试内容比较接近。

听力部分，听力虽然一直比较难，但是今天的话题和难度却不高，内容上可以算比较好理解。

口语部分，看到今天口语考试Task 6讲到Play的作用，让我想到雅思阅读考试中剑桥真题4中有篇文章Play is a serious thing.简直是异曲同工。

写作部分，没有什么特别，难度适中。

本次考试难度评分：★★★Reading Part:Section 119世纪拉丁美州独立后的经济和政治的发展。

说他们一直被西方列强（西班牙和葡萄牙）控制（control）。

离经济上的独立还有很长距离。

我记得几个考到的题目有一道题（文章第三段吧）说拉美被叫M。

（记不得了，是strongman的意思）的人控制，这种人被和他同组的比他弱小的人支持，把持经济。

但是他们还是会show respect towards 政府（考点：选出M人的except项）。

政府想措施控制他们，就制定对大的XX主（忘了，农场主么？）有利的措施，想把权利回收（考点：政府的措施是什么我写的中央集权）然后最后一段说列强控制拉美，只生产1，2中主要产品，对世界经济产生影响（考点：填空，主要产品对世界产生xx影响），但是拉美别的物品发展就不平衡。

第二段好像是说XX主的，也有道题，具体忘了。

Section 2温度的变化（Sun light）。

为什么一天最高温度不是中午，而是下午温度的变化,一天温度最高的时间,怎么造成的。

（再此处好像也有题，但记不太清了。

）太阳辐射到地上，地面10cm air上传温度到上面的air很慢），叫做conduction等（在这里有一个题，就是考着中传播顺序的。

还举了一个例子。

记不太清出地点了。

（但对这个例子也出了一道题。

最权威的国际教育服务平台资料来源：教育优选 /2010年5月8日新托福写作考题回顾 考试日期：2010.05.08 Task 1INTEGR AED就food irradiation 是否应该被强制执行展开讨论Reading ： 1. Irradiation improves the food safety. It can kill 90-99% pathogens and virus of food. 可以杀灭大多数的细菌，对人的身体很健康。

2. Irradiation can pre vent food from spoiling. 可以延缓蔬果成熟的时间，保存更长久。

3. 虽然会导致营养流失，但是只占营养的10%，和其他食品加工造成的效应差不多，所以不算损害大。

Listening 反驳： 1. 这样可能导致1%的病原体发展成超级病原体（因为抗体比较强，难杀灭）， 对人的身体危害更大。

2. 虽然可以防腐，但也阻止了水果的成熟。

如番茄红色素沉淀说明成熟，但是辐射以后，番茄的绿色素就不会减少，红色素也不会增多了。

消费者估不准究竟什么时候会熟，不敢购买。

3. Irradiation 本身确实没有削减太多营养，但是在之后保存过程中，这种方法会使水果中的vitamin C 损失变快。

放冰箱1周就会减少50%。

而正常水果减少的就很少。

2010年托福考试风起云涌，新题老题更替出现，口语题目一些新题偏题的出现也让很多考生着实头疼，本文旨在回顾分析2010年新托福口语考试趋势以及谈谈如何应对2011年新托福口语考试。

TASK 1今年考过的口语第一题大部分仍旧在基本话题，比如：人、地、事、物的范围之内，但是某些题目考察了一些新颖特别的话题，这些话题的出现会让考生发现自己没有准备过这个题，也就是所谓的“备考盲区”。

比如今年考到了“谈谈你们国家最有意思的服装”，很多考生之前并未准备这道题，而且之前也没有基本知识储备，所以就会有茫然无措的感觉。

其实考生在准备基本话题的同时，应该注意答题思路的练习。

如果考生心里很清楚应该用两三个分论点进行阐述，并且适当加上简单的例子进行论证，用also , if , without , with等过渡词进行思路的展开，这道题还是不难回答的。

而且，考生不要使用过于复杂专业的词汇，有些学生就把旗袍念成Qi Pao，然后简单解释为中国传统服饰，多以大红色为主，现在是在婚礼宴席等正式场合经常穿着的服饰，这样简单介绍的思路完全可以应付这种刁钻的考题。

所以，考生在备考2011年考试的时候，要对2010年考试的题目进行模拟练习，一方面积极准备一些非基本话题，比如喜欢的音乐类型，喜欢的玩具或游戏还有国内最新的新闻等等，一方面也要进行即兴答题的练习，这样的话才能对考试有很好的准备。

2009年北美考试的口语题目也可以进行模拟训练，口语的前两道题准备时间不长，所以考生可以不遗漏地练习09，10年的机经，既锻炼口语，又有可能考到练习过的题目。

TASK 2第二题的考试范围还是集中在学生熟悉的学习生活话题范围之内。

比如学习方法的选择方面，考生可以从improve learning efficiency(提高学习效率)，enjoy the learning process(享受学习过程)，cultivate team-work spirit(培养团队精神)这些方面去分析问题。
