2014年7月6日新托福考试听力考题回顾第一篇：2014年7月6日新托福考试听力考题回顾2014年7月6日新托福考试听力考题回顾Research Academy for Foreign Language Examinations 新托福听力考题回顾朗阁海外考试研究中心郭辉强考试日期 2014.07.06是否加考是场景话题内容描述考题回忆Listening 1Business对话关于 business 课程中的marketing strategy。
一开始，学生提了一个ants 蚂蚁中存在的现象，说business theory 和biology 很像（有题，问学生为什么提到生物概念）。
老师说这的确是collective的典型例子。
但是学生confuse 了。
然后老师用2 个例子解释，一个是T-shirt company, 是design solely 还是vote online？讲公司可以通过 collective intelligence 去了解市场需求的欢迎程度，然后制定特定的产品。
第二个例子举的是电脑公司，如果想制作一个软件，就发一个招聘通知，让应聘的人提交设计好的软件，即使最后因为特殊原因不招了，电脑公司不花钱就得到了软件，那些应聘者也挺高兴，因为他们是出于兴趣而不是为了钱。
点评：该文章学生普遍反映难度较大，因为涉及到很多学术理论。
相关类型对话可以参考TPO 19 C1 [Selective adaptation], TPO 4 C2 [hydrologic cycle]。
Listening 2Photography照相机发明以后，画家觉得不公平，因为他们画了很久，照相机一下就照好了。
但是画家恰恰是最早用照相机的，因为画家用它帮助更精确地画画。
realism 的风格也是photo 引起的，后来引入了impressive 的风格，后来数码相机引入后发扬了魔幻主义。
后来还谈到了weddingevent, 摄影师拍照要change the background, 让新郎新娘的outline 更清楚。
