2012年11月24日新托福写作考题回顾

2012.09.02新TOEFL测试写作试题回顾考试日期：2012.09.02Task 1INTEGRAED关于the first human settlers到新西兰是不是在1300 C.E. 左右的争论与反驳。

阅读文章要点：1. 是毛利人最早在1300年左右来的，因为毛利人有一些口述的历史，包括谁什么时候怎么来到新西兰的；2. pollen analysis指出，新西兰的树是replace过的，原因是大火把树烧没了，所以他们推测起火的原因应该是人类生火；3. 碳元素测定法指出一些骨头和工艺品的年代是1300年。

听力逐一反驳：1. 书上只说了毛利人是现存的最早的居民，但是可能有更早的居民，只不过他们灭亡了，没留下任何的records;2. 大火的引起可能是来自于干旱的天气；3. 他们发现了一种老鼠的骨骼，那个年代比1300要早，这种老鼠不会游泳也不是新西兰的物种，所以只可能是早期移民带来的。

Task 2 INDEPENDENT 独立写作话题类别生活类考题文字：Do you agree or disagree with the following statement?Competition among friends has negative effect on the friendship.本次写作考试点评：本次新托福写作完全重复了2011年11月5日的北美考题。

独立写作是关于朋友之间的竞争是否会对友谊有负面影响的讨论；这道题目是不少考生平时生活中也会碰到的一个常见现象，所以说解答这道考题是非常简单的，而且理据方面应该是可以很有说服力的，毕竟可以利用好考生自己的生活经历。

其实这种源自于生活的理由是说服力的。

新托福独立写作的重复规律还是比较明显的，2010-2011年的北美考题几乎在2012年中国大陆区不断出现，也完全在考试预测之中。

因此考生可在备考过程中多加留意历年真题，做好准备。

综合任务是有关新西兰最早的居民是否在1300年左右出现的争论与反驳，整体难度不高；对于专业的毛利人这一词汇考生应该是耳熟能详了，所以在听力时候不会遇到太大的麻烦。

2012年11月24日托福写作机经综合写作：阅读讲congestion pricing。

说为了缓解交通拥堵，想要在city中的某个区域收费，这样就能缓解一下。

1. 这样做可以improve time(主要就是说节省时间)2. 可以改善环境improve that area's environment3. 收的fee可以用于revennue(这个单词没记住怎么拼大概就) the city 可以再修路，修桥什么的:听力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 air pollution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。

独立写作：Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? It is easier for more people now than in the past to get an education.The twentieth and twenty-first centuries have seen the development and advancement of many fields and areas of society. Education is an area that has developed tremendously in the past hundred years. The rise of the middle class, the standardization of education, and the opening of many more schools has made it possible for more people now than in the past to get an education.In China specifically, education reform began with the opening up and reform period of the 1980’s. During this time China also opened up its economy and changed from a state run economy to a market economy. A market economy in China has made it possible for the development of the middle class. Historically throughout the world, education belonged to the social elites. People from the lower class, which always outnumbered the upper class, did not have the money or resources to become educated. The middle class is a group of people who are not necessarily the elitesof society, but have the money to pay for education. Since the 1980’s, the middle class has been rapidly growing, increasing ten-fold the number of children who have the opportunity to get an education.With the rise of the middle class, also comes an increase in pressure on the government. Since more people can afford education, more pressure is put on the government to provide teachers and schools for the children of the middle class. The government is then spurred into action to increase funding and resources for education nationwide. This has then prompted the opening of schools in many areas beyond the major cities and the training of many new teachers. More teachers and more schools mean that more people will be educated.The government’s attention on education has helped with the standardization of education in China. This standardization has created nationwide tests that have made it so that every student, no matter his or her background or hometown, has the opportunity to attend high school and apply for college. Not only do more students have the opportunity to attend school, but they also have the opportunity to continue their education further than previous generations.The rise of the middle class, the increased involvement of the government, and the standardization of education has made it so that more people, now than ever, have the opportunity to become educated.

2012年11月24日托福考试阅读机经版本一：猴子的vocalization。

三种方式，分别是：1、针对?(忘了是什么动物)，当听到这种alarm call的时候，猴子会爬到树上去;2、针对eagle，当听到这种alarm call的时候，猴子会先向上看天空，然后会躲到丛林里，因为eagle能够从树上抓到猴子，所以猴子是不会爬到树上来避险的;3、针对蛇，这种情况下，猴子们群起而攻击蛇。

然后讲科学家们对猴子的vocalization的研究观察，有说即使没看到predator，猴子们听到alarm call 也会做出相应的反应的。

最后讲年轻的小猴子们是怎么学会vocalization的，老猴子们不会特意去训练小猴子们。

一开始，小猴子不会识别友善的还是敌对的动物，比如它们可能误以为鹰是友善的小鸟什么的，但是当它们发出alarm时，老猴子们一般会再巡视下周围，确定是什么predator，然后老猴子会发出正确的alarm，这样，小猴子们也就慢慢学会了正确的vocalization了。

版本二：讲velvert(应该是这么拼吧)monkey，怎么用vocalization传递捕食者的信息，然后对应不同的应对措施，(1。

地上的什么动物(忘了啊。

)，然后它们就躲到树上面2。

天上飞的老鹰，这个就不会像碰到第一种predator那样躲到树顶，3。

草地里的蛇，说如果召唤到足够的帮手就attack蛇。

)后面还讲那些young monkey使用这种vobal不专业和它们怎么学习这种技巧。

版本三：bio一种猴子Vervet monkey在遇到各种捕猎者时候的向同伴发出的求救信号-大猫-老鹰-蛇还有小猴子学习大猴子模仿;某种猴子会发出三种声音,一种是对付大猫,一种是蛇,一种是鹰,然后说了baby monkey是怎么学会用这种voice alarm的。

2012年3月24日托福写作范文今天咱们来看看一篇很有趣的托福写作范文哦。

这篇作文里呀，讲了一个关于选择的故事。

就像我们在学校里，有时候要选择是参加绘画比赛还是唱歌比赛一样。

在这个托福作文里呢，说的是在生活中我们会面临很多困难的选择。

比如说有个小朋友叫小明，他家里养了一只小狗狗，这只小狗狗特别可爱，每天陪着小明玩。

可是有一天，小明的家里要搬到一个很远的城市，而且那个城市的房子不允许养宠物。

这时候小明就面临了一个超级难的选择。

他一方面很舍不得小狗狗，小狗狗那水汪汪的大眼睛，每次看着小明的时候都像是在说“我会一直陪着你呢”。

小狗狗毛茸茸的身体，小明抱着的时候特别温暖。

可是另一方面呢，如果不把小狗狗送人，就没办法搬到新的家去。

这就像我们在学校分小组做活动的时候，有时候会纠结到底要和哪个好朋友一组呢。

作文里提到，当面临这种很难的选择时，我们要考虑很多东西。

就像小明，他要考虑小狗狗以后的生活。

如果送给邻居家，邻居家的小孩是不是会好好对待小狗狗呢？小狗狗能不能适应新的环境呢？这就好像我们在选择是吃苹果还是吃香蕉的时候，我们会想哪个更甜，哪个对我们的身体更好一样。

然后呢，作文里还说，我们也要考虑自己的感受。

小明要是把小狗狗送人了，他自己肯定会很伤心的。

他可能晚上睡觉的时候都会想着小狗狗。

这就好比我们把自己心爱的小玩具送给别人了，心里总是空落落的。

不过呢，在这个托福作文里也告诉我们，不管做了什么样的选择，我们都要勇敢去面对。

如果小明最后决定把小狗狗送给邻居家，那他就要努力让自己接受这个事实，并且相信邻居会照顾好小狗狗。

就像我们在学校里参加比赛，如果输了，我们也要勇敢面对，下次再努力呀。

这篇托福作文其实就是想告诉我们，生活中的选择虽然很难，但是只要我们认真考虑各种情况，也考虑自己的感受，然后不管做出什么选择，都要坚强地去面对。

就像我们在成长的道路上，会遇到很多像这样的“小岔路”，只要我们用心去选择，就不会害怕啦。
