托业考试考生经验LISTENING TEST 部分PART1看图选择题可以讲是最简单也最轻松的题目，图片的配备以及时'间的充裕可以保证考试时候思维清晰。

没有太难的表述，但是需要习惯一点就是严格按照听到的，绝对不可以想当然。

有些图上的东西和听到的虽然一致，但是你却可能想成另--种情况。

PART2选择最合适的答案这部分题难度也不是很高，但是不能丝毫懈怠，思考的空隙就可能导致后面的题目跟不上，可以说想太多不好用。

所以在做题的过程中最好能够记录部分关键内容，从而加快决定选项的速度，但考试不允许记录。

PART3听一组对话做三个选择题这部分的题型并不陌生，但是也可以说是托业听力考试的精华所在。

作为对话，结合环境理解非常重要。

对于每一段的时间必须掌握好，现看题目，然后注意听，迅速作答，做完一■道题以后，趁叙述未结束，就要马上阅读下一题。

这个过程必须讲求速度，同时要注意题目的转移，如果在阅读新题的时候错过了描述的开始则会十分麻烦。

题目很多，想要完全保持注意力集中比较累，需要坚持。

PART4听一段陈述做三个选择题这部分情况Part3类似，题型比较熟悉。

作为陈述，要注意的是意思的准确性。

但是做到这里，很可能会有疲惫感，丝毫的倦怠都会影响到做题的效率，和Part3-样，坚持就是胜利。

整个听力部分口音和语速的不同，会造成一定影响，但这个是听力考试的本质所在；EXAMPLE不是每部分都有，可能会造成误解，但是注意听就不会出错；整个听力部分时间很长，内容很多，需较长时间精力高度集中，对于考生是个考验；有地方写写划划绝对会有帮助，但是考试中不允许。

READING TEST 部分PART5单项选择题这部分涉及对语法以及词汇的考查，是我们从小到大做的最多的题目类型，做起来比较熟悉，但是题最大的情况下要注意速度。

难度应该说并不比四、六级考试困难，需要多多练习就能提高效率。

属于中国学生比较擅长的考试题型。

PART6完型填空选择这部分对英语的考查与我们平常考试的完型填空相似，但是难度显然不大，做起来比较轻松，应该说是阅读部分最容易的题目了。

2021年托业考试阅读部分测试题含答案解析The Role of DiapauseIf conditions within an organism’s environment occasionally or regularly become harsh,it may be advantageous for an organism to have a resistant stage built into the lifecycle. In such a life history strategy, the organism suspends any growth, reproduction,or other activities for a period of time so that they may occur at a later, more hospitable time. This genetically determined resting stage, characterized by the cessation of development and protein synthesis and suppression of the metabolic rate, is called diapause. Many other kinds of resting stages, with different levels of suppression of physiological activities, are known. Some of these resistant stages can be extremely long-lived. In one case, seeds of the arctic lupine, a member of the pea family recovered from ancient lemming burrows in the Arctic, germinated in three days even though they were carbon-dated at more than 10,000 years old!Unfavorable conditions that are relatively predictable probably pose a simpler problem for organisms than do unpredictable conditions. Adaptations to the regular change of seasons in the temperate and polar regions may be relatively simple. For example, many seeds require a period of stratification, exposure to low temperatures for some minimum period, before they will germinate. ■This is a simple adaptation to ensure that germination occurs following t he winter conditions rather than immediately prior to their onset. ■In contrast, unfavorable conditions that occur unpredictably pose considerable problems for organisms. ■In fact, unpredictability is probably a greater problem than is the severity of the unfavorable period. ■How can organisms cope with the unpredictable onset of good or poor conditions?Many adaptations to this general problem are based on a resting stage that awaits favorable conditions. We will consider two examples from the vertebrates. The first isthe red kangaroo. This marsupial inhabits the deserts of central Australia where theonset of rains and the resulting sudden growth of vegetation are extremely unpredictable. Obviously, it is advantageous for a kangaroo female to produce youngat a time when plant productivity is sufficient to support her offspring. For such arelatively large mammal, however, gestation (the period of development duringpregnancy) is so long that if a female waited to mate and carry the young until afterthe r ains came, the favorable period might be past. The kangaroo’s life history adaptation to this problem involves the use of embryonic diapause during gestation (development in the uterus).After a 31-day gestation period, the female gives birth to a tiny helpless young typicalof marsupials. The newborn crawls into the mother’s pouch and attaches to a teatwhere it continues to grow and develop. After 235 days it leaves the pouch but remains with the mother and obtains milk from her. Two days after giving birth, the female mates again. The fertilized egg enters a 204-day period of embryonic diapause during which it remains in the uterus but does not attach. It then implants, and 31 days later, birth of the second young occurs. Note that the first young leaves the pouch at just this time. Again, the female mates, fertilization occurs, and another diapause follows. The eventual resultis that at any one time, the female has three young at various stages of development: one in diapause, one in the pouch, and one outside the pouch. Among other benefits, this allows her to freeze the development of an embryo during times of drought and food shortage until the offspring in the pouch is able to leave.A similar strategy—accelerated development combined with a resting stage—has also allowed amphibians to inhabit deserts. The spadefoot toads, such as Couch’s spadefoot toad, inhabit some of the most severe deserts in North America. Adults of this species burrow deeply into the substrate where it is cooler and perhaps more moist. Here they enter into a resting state in which they are covered with a protective layer of dead skin. When it rains, the adults emerge and congregate to mate at temporary ponds. Development is greatly accelerated: the eggs hatch within 48 hours, and the tadpoles change into toads at 16-18 days. Consequently, they can complete the life cycle during the brief window of favorable conditions, then return to the resistant resting stage to await the next rainfall. Resting stages thus comprise a series of adaptations that allowthe species to avoid the most difficult conditions for life.1. According to paragraph 1, why do some organisms have a resting stage duringtheir life cycle?▢To recover from injuries suffered during harsh conditions▢To devote all of their energy to a period of growth and reproduction▢To wait for local conditions to become favorable for important life events▢To prepare to move to a different environment if conditions become harsh2. Why does the author mention “seeds of the arctic lupine”?▢To argue that members of the pea family are extremely resistant to cold temperature▢To provide information about what ancient lemmings ate during their long resting periods▢To provide an example of an organism with a resting stage that has many different levels of suppression of physiological activities▢To support that some resting stages last an extremely long time.3. According to paragraph 2, why do many seeds require a period of stratification?▢To slowly build up a tolerance for lower and lower temperatures▢To guarantee that the seeds grow after and not before unfavorable weather▢To make sure that the seeds can deal with unpredictable conditions▢To give the seeds enough time to germinate before winter.4. Paragraph 4 supports all of the following statements about the red kangaroo of central Australia EXCEPT:▢A female kangaroo mates again shortly after her newborn enters her pouch.▢During diapause, a young kangaroo stays in the female’s pouch and growth of a second fertilized egg inside the uterus is delayed.▢To put different young kangaroos at various stages of development is advantageous for the female kangaroo to handle them at the same time.▢The pause of the development of an embryo has more benefits for preparing it to avoid the harsh times than for competing with its siblings.5. What is the main purpose of paragraph 4 in the passage?▢To give the details of an adaptation mentioned in paragraph 3▢To describe an adaptation different from the one explained in paragraph 3▢To introduce an adaptation that is described in detail in paragraph 5▢To discuss an adaptation that is set as successful as the one mentioned before.6. The word “comprise” in the passage is closest in meaning to▢consist of▢bring about▢are similar to▢take the place of7. According to paragraph 5, how do amphibians such as spadefoot toads survive the severe heat conditions in the North American deserts?▢They dig down into the ground and go into a resistant resting state.▢They remain in the ponds that develop after it has rained.▢They lose their outer layer of skin.▢Their eggs live dormant until the desert air becomes cooler and more moist. 8. According to paragraph 5, which of the following occurs during the life cycle of the spadefoot toad?▢The female’s eggs hatch under the surface of the desert.▢The adults mate during the dry period.▢The newborn grows into an adult before unfavorable conditions return.▢The newborn enters a resting stage before it becomes an adult.9.

The diapause stage evolved very early and is most common in species that first appeared more than 10,000 years ago2. Unpredictable conditions are more problematic for organisms than are predictable changes such as the seasons.3. Some seeds may germinate in three days even if they have been exposed to verylow temperatures for a long time.4. Some marsupials can care for three newborns in their pouch at the same time, allowing the young to leave the pouch only when conditions are favorable for their growth.5. The female red kangaroo adapts to unfavorable conditions by delaying the development of the embryo in the uterus.6. Some amphibians adapt to arid environments by completing accelerated development with resting stages deep underground.The Plow and the Horse in Medieval EuropeOne of the most important factors driving Europe’s slo w emergence from the economic stagnation of the Early Middle Ages (circa 500-1000 B.C.E.) was the improvement of agricultural technology. One innovation was a new plow, with a curved attachment (moldboard) to turn over wet, heavy soils, and a knife (or coulter) in front of the blade to allow a deeper and easier cut. ■This more complex plow replaced the simpler “scratch”plow that merely made a shallow, straight furrow in the ground. ■In the lands around the Mediterranean, with light rains and mild winters, this had been find, but in the wetter terrain north and west of the Danube and the Alps, such a plow left much to be desired, and it is to be wondered if it was used at all. ■Cleared lands would more likely have been worked by hand tilling, with little direct help from animals, and the vast forests natural to Northern Europe remained either untouched, or perhaps cleared in smallsections by fire, and the land probably used only so long as the ash-enriched soil yielded good crops and then abandoned for some others similarly cleared field. ■Sucha pattern of agriculture and settlement was no basis for sustained cultural or economic life.With the new heavy plow, however, fields could be cleared, sowed, and maintained with little more difficulty than in the long-settled lands of Southern Europe, while the richness of the new soils, the reliability of the rains, and the variety of crops now possible made for an extremely productive agriculture. The new tool, however, imposed new demands, technical, economic, and social. The heavy plow was a substantial piece of capital,unlike a simple hand hoe, and this had the same sorts of implications that capitalization always has—it favored the concentration of wealth and control. Moreover, making full use of it required more animal power, and this had a host of implications of its own. The full importance of this was even more apparent in the centuries after 1000, when oxen began to give way in certain parts of Western Europe to horses.The powerful, rugged farm horse was itself a product of improvement during the Middle Ages, and it was part of a complex set of technical changes and capabilities. The introduction of new forms of equipment for horses transformed this animal into the single most important assist to human labor and travel. Instead of the old harness used by the ancient Greeks and Romans, there appeared from Central Asia the rigid, padded horse collar. Now, when the horse pulled against a load, no longer did the load pull back against its neck and windpipe but rather rode on the sturdy shoulders. When this innovation was combined with the iron horseshoe, the greater speed and stamina of the horse displaced oxen wherever it could be afforded. The larger importance of this laynot only in more efficient farmwork, but in swifter and surer transportation between town and countryside. The farmer with horses could move products to market more frequently and at greater distances than with only oxen, and the urban development that was to transform the European economic and social landscape after the eleventh century was propelled in large part by these new horse-centered transport capabilities. Another indicator of how compelling and important was the new horse agriculture was its sheer cost. Unlike oxen and other cattle, horses cannot be supported exclusively onhay and pasturage, they require, particularly in northern climates where pasturing seasons are short, cropped food, such as oats and alfalfa. Unlike grass and hay, these are grown with much of the same effort and resources applied to human nourishment, and thus their acquisition represents a sacrifice, in a real sense, of human food. The importance of this in a world that usually lived at the margins of sufficient diet is hard to overstate. The increased resources that went into making the horse central to both the medieval economy and, in a separate but related development, medieval warfare, are the surest signs of the great utility the animal now assumed.1. The word “stagnation” in the passage is closest in meaning to▢instability▢lack of growth▢dependence on others▢decline2. According to paragraph 1, what was the main advantage of the new plow overthe scratch plow?▢The new plow created straighter rows.▢The new plow was easier for animals to pull.▢The new plow could dig deeper into the soil.▢The new plow was easier to make.3. The word “sustained” in the passage is closest in meaning to▢continued▢established▢ordinary▢active4. According to paragraph 1, the scratch plow was particularly unsuited to▢the lands around the Mediterranean▢places where the soil was often dry▢places where land was cleared and worked by hand▢places where the soil was particularly wet and heavy5. Paragraph 1 implies which of the following about agriculture before theintroduction of the new plow?▢Limited rainfall had prevented large-scale agricultural development.▢Most of Europe’s developed agricultural communities were located in the south.▢Several other important innovations immediately preceded the development of the new plow.▢Much of Europe’s forestland had been converted to agricultural use.6.

Light rains and unpredictable winters had made most of the soil in Europe unsuitable for enough agriculture to sustain economic development.2. Farmers switched from oxen to horses to pull their plows because inexpensive pasturage for oxen decreased significantly in the centuries after 1000 B.C.E.3. The introduction of iron horseshoes enabled farmers to transport goodsfarther than they could with the more expensive oxen.4. Improvements in the design of plows opened up vast areas of land in Northern Europe that had previously been unusable for sustained agriculture.5. With help from a new kind of harness from Asia, horses were able to pull the new heavy plow and to transport goods to market more quickly and frequently.6. The horse came to be valued so greatly that farmers devoted some of their land to growing crops for their horses rather than using this land to grow food for their families.The Origins of Plant and Animal DomesticationThe emergence of plant and animal domestication represented a monumental change in the ways that humans interacted with Earth’s resources: the rate at which Earth’ssurface was modified and the rates of human population growth. The development of agriculture was accompanied by fundamental changes in the organization on human society: disparities in wealth, hierarchies of power, and urbanization.Phrases like “plant and animal domestication” and “the invention of agriculture” cre ate the impression that humans made the transition to cultivating plants and tending animals rather abruptly, maybe with a flash of insight. Most scholars don’t think so. It seems more likely that humans used and manipulated wild plants and animals for many hundreds of thousands of years. The transition to gardens, fields, and pastures was probably gradual, the natural outgrowth of a long familiarity with the environmental requirements, growth cycles, and reproductive mechanisms of whatever plants and animals humans liked to eat, ride, or wear.For years, scholars argued that the practices of cultivation and animal domestication were invented in one or two locations on Earth and then diffused from those centers of innovation. ■ Genetic studies are now showin g that many different groups of people in many different places around the globe learned independently to create especially useful plants and animals through selective breeding. ■Probably both independent invention and diffusion played a role in agricultur al innovation. ■Sometimes the ideasof domestication and cultivation were relayed to new places. In other cases the farmers or herders themselves moved into new zones, taking agriculture or improvements such as new tools or new methods or new plants and an imals with them. ■Scholars used to assume that people turned to cultivating instead of gathering their food either because they had to in order to feed burgeoning populations, or because agriculture provided such obviously better nutrition. It now seems that neither of these explanations is valid. First of all, the risk at tached to exploring new food sources when there were already too many mouths to feed would be too great. Second, agriculture did not necessarily improve nutrition or supplies of food. A varied diet based on gathered (and occasionally hunted) food probably provided a wider, more secure range of nutrients than an early agriculturally based diet of only one or two cultivated crops. More likely, populations expanded after agricultural successes, and not before.Richard MacNeish, an archaeologist who studied plant domestication in Mexico andCentral America, suggested that the chance to trade was at the heart of agricultural origins worldwide. Many of the known locations of agricultural innovation lie near early trade centers. People in such places would have had at least two reasons to pursue cultivation and animal raising; they would have had access to new information, plants, and animals brought in by traders, and they would have had a need for something to trade with the people passing through. Perhaps, then, agriculture was at first just a profitable hobby for hunters and gatherers that eventually, because of market demand, grew into the primary source of sustenance. Trade in agricultural products may also have been a hobby that led to trouble.E. N. Anderson, writing about the beginnings of agriculture in China, suggests that agricultural production for trade may have been the impetus for several global situations now regarded as problems: rapid population growth, social inequalities, environmental degradation, and famine. Briefly explained, his theory suggests that groups turned to raising animals and plants in order to reap the profits of trading them. As more labor was needed to supply the trade, humans produced more children. As populations expanded, more resources were put into producing food for subsistence and for trade. Gradually, hunting and gathering technology was abandoned as populations, with their demands for space, destroyed natural habitats. Meanwhile, a minority elite emerged when the wealth provided by trade did not accrue equally to everyone. Yet another problem was that a drought or other natural disaster could wipe out an entire harvest, thus, as ever larger populations depended solely on agriculture, famine became more common.1. The word “monumental” in the passage is closest in meaning to▢innovative▢surprising▢complex▢enormous2. According to paragraph 2, phrases such as “plant and animal domestication”and “the invention of agriculture” encourage which of the following wrongideas?▢Early farmers were fairly advanced in their knowledge of plants and animals.▢Agriculture and animal domestication arose as a result of systematic study and experimentation.▢The change from hunting and gathering to farming and raising animals occurred quickly.▢Early efforts to raise plants and animals were generally successful.3. What do genetic studies suggest about the theory that “cultivation and animal domestication were invented in one or two locations on Earth and then diffusedfrom those centers of innovation”?▢The theory underestimates the speed at which cultivation and animal domestication were diffused.▢The theory underestimates the number of locations in which cultivation and animal domestication arose independently.▢The theory overemphasizes the importance of selective breeding in cultivation and animal domestication.▢The theory overemphasizes the importance of cultivation and animal domestication to some groups of people.4. According to paragraph 4, what advantages did the diet of hunter-gatherers probably have over an early agricultural diet?▢It required less effort for them to acquire food that was nutritious.▢It allowed their populations to expand across wider areas.▢It provided a greater variety of foods needed for them to stay healthy.▢It allowed them to have more children.5. According to paragraph 4, what was the most likely relationship betweenpopulation growth and food cultivation?▢Population growth encouraged the development of food cultivation.▢Population growth was dependent on the development of a varied diet of cultivated foods.▢Successful methods of food cultivation were developed before population growth occurred.▢Food cultivation was more successful in situations where population growth was limited.6. Which of the following most accurately reflects the statement discussed inparagraph 5, on efforts to cultivate plants and animals?▢The efforts often failed because hunter-gatherers had limited access to new information about plants and animals.▢The efforts were begun out of a desire to produce goods for trade rather than to increase their growers’ food supplies.▢The efforts were sometimes abandoned so hunter-gatherers could become involvedin the more profitable activity of trading.▢The efforts were not profitable until people began trading food that they had raised for other goods.7. Which of the following most accurately reflect the relationship betweenparagraph 6 and a topic discussed in paragraph 5?▢Paragraph 6 discusses a series of events that calls into question the theory thatplants and animals were raised for purposes of trade.▢Paragraph 6 presents evidence supporting the claim that many sites of agricultural innovation were located near trade centers.▢Paragraph 6 identifies problems that led to the raising of plants and animals as the primary source of sustenance.▢Paragraph 6 traces negative developments that arose possibly as a result of raising plants and animals for trade.8. The word “subsistence” in the passage is closest in meaning to▢profit▢surplus▢enjoyment▢survival9.

The transition from hunting and gathering to raising plants and animals was gradual and led to significant changes in the organization of human societies.2. Scholars now believe that agriculture and animal domestication began independently in many separate locations and then spread to new areas.3. As trade in agricultural products grew and social inequalities arose, new crops were developed specifically to feed the labor needed to support societies.4. Although it is now clear that agriculture developed independently in many places, often the most efficient techniques arose by combing practices of different cultures.5. Agriculture became more widespread when human populations realized that an agricultural diet supplemented through trade could provide as much nutrition as the hunter-gatherer diet.6. The earliest reason for raising plants and animals may have been to provide goods for trade, and such trade may account for the rise in social problems such as environmental destruction答案：第一篇：CDBDA，BACB, 256第二篇：BCADB，DBDB, 456第三篇：DCBCC，BDDB, 126阅读2 答案及解析解析：第一篇：CDBDA，BACB, 2561.分类：推断题If conditions within an organism’s environment occasionally or regularly beco me harsh, it may be advantageous for an organism to have a resistant stage built into the life cycle.，故选择C 项。

听力部分：一共6大题型，总共11道题目。

总共考试时间：20分钟。

Part 1：大声朗读短文2道题。

准备时间45秒，回答时间45秒。

考核要求：语音和语调。

这部分题，就是两篇短文，要求在规定时间内大声朗读出来，主要考核语音和语调，如果能注意到连读，弱读，经过反复训练后，45秒朗诵完成，并不是难事情。

Part 2：图片描述1道题，准备30秒，回答30秒。

考核要求：语音、语调、语法、词汇、连贯性。

这部分题目，就是给一个图片，用语言进行描述，这里需要注意的是，如果句式初级，就很难获得高分。

如果描述成：这里有个房子，房子前面有几张桌子，还有几把椅子。

这样的句式属于初中英语第一册的水平。

是很难获得高分的，托业的口语写作考试，是没有对错的标准，只有好与不好的标准。

那么丰富的句式和多样回答方法，很容易获得比较高的分数。

Part 3：听录音回答问题3道题，没有准备时间。

回答时间30秒。

考核要求：语音、语调、语法、词汇、连贯性、内容的完整性。

这部分题目，就是给一些日常生活中，常见的小问题，比如：你的爱好是什么。

如果我们回答成：“音乐，电影，旅游”这样简单的单词罗列。

就很难得分，因为汉语的思维方式是意思在字词里。

而英语的思维方式是，意思在句子里。

所以，在英文表达中，一定要有一个完整的句式。

并且符合语法要求。

这样才能获得高分。

Part 4：利用所给信息回答问题3道题，没有准备时间，阅读时间30秒。

回答问题30秒。

考核要求：语音、语调、语法、词汇、连贯性、内容的完整性。

这部分题目，会给出一片阅读的文章，可能是一张表格，也可能是一封邮件，题目会直接问你文章中的内容，然后用语言描述。

托业考试(TOEIC)/备考辅导2016年托业考试全攻略之阅读篇阅读部分总共有三大题，100 小题。

考生须阅读多种题材的文章，然后回答相关问题。

考试时间为75 分钟，考生可在时限内依自己能力调配阅读及答题速度。

第五大题：完成句子40 题(四选一)这种题型对我们再熟悉不过了，其实考的就是词汇和语法。

撇开词汇不说，这部分的难度和高考中的同类题型是相当的。

所以掌握高中范围内的语法知识架构足够应付这个题型。

但是，这部分要做全对是不容易的。

究其原因有二，一是一些难词大词会吓到考生,二是有许多固定的搭配只能凭借考生平时的积累。

比如说：contingencyplan(应急预案)这个词，对于大多数非母语的考生来讲，如果平时没有足够的阅读量，是很难选出contingency这个词和plan搭配的。

同样的，还有assume the titleof …. 里面assume这种特殊的固定搭配，都是在考察考生平时的积累。

攻略：很多情况下，即使不知道选项里的词是什么意思，如果语法过关，也能根据词性去确定最终的正确答案。

比如: It is becoming ? more difficult for young people to afford to invest in property. 选项有progressing, progression, progressive, progressively。

这个时候如果你不知道progress是什么意思，我们先根据原句判断，这里需要的是一个副词去形容difficult。

因此，答案就选择了以副词标志-ly结尾的progressively。

当然，这个题目当中千万别只看半句，想当然的认为become后面应该是形容词。

这样的例子在托业题当中有很多。

第六大题：短文填空12 题(四选一)这个部分是第五部分的扩张版。

把句子扩张成一个段落，每个段落三个空。

命题人的意图是让考生根据上下文的意思去选出合适的词汇。
