托福真题2012年5月12日(总分:120.00,做题时间:90分钟)一、Question 1(总题数:1,分数:20.00)1.What suggestions would you make to your friend who wants to open a restaurant? Please include specific details in your explanation.(分数:20.00)__________________________________________________________________________________________ 正确答案:(Topic: I would suggest that my friend make his restaurant unique for his customers, as well as provide only quality food and dining conditions.Reason 1: First, the restaurant should offer something that customers cannot get in other restaurants in order to have a specific customer base. Perhaps, American or European food with suitable style and decor should be considered.Reason 2: Second, the restaurant should always provide quality food and atmosphere. If a restaurant uses low quality it meats and vegetables, customers will always notice and they won't come again. Also, if the restaurant is poorly decorated or dirty, it will not attract guests to come in and eat.)解析:Alternative Wording(替换表达)Synonyms (a)unique—one-of-a-kind (b)quality—superior(c)customer base—clientele (d)low quality—inferior(e)attract—drawParaphrases 1. The top priority is to provide a unique dining experience for one's clientele, one based on the best food and ambience.2. If a restaurant tries to cut corners by providing substandard food, the customers cannot fail to notice and will never come a second time.二、Question 2(总题数:1,分数:20.00)2.Do you agree or disagree with the following statement: students who work harder will be successful later in life? Please include specific details in your explanation.(分数:20.00)__________________________________________________________________________________________ 正确答案:(Topic: I believe that hard work usually results in success later in life, and also gives students a sense of individual pride.Reason 1: Firstly, I think the students who work the hardest in college tend to work the hardest on the job later, and these individuals are likely to be successful in the future.Reason 2: Also, working hard gives students pride. Regardless of what others may say about them, the students know if they devote 100%, they will have a stronger academic record and are more likely to be hired by future employers.)解析:Alternative Wording(替换表达)Synonyms (a)result in—yield (b)individual—personal(c)tend to—generallyParaphrases Personal pride is one of the rewards for hard work.三、Question 3(总题数:1,分数:20.00)3.A Proposal from a StudentI would like to suggest that the University of California, Riverside make swimming a required course for all present and incoming students. This advice is prompted by three reflections. To begin with, college is one of the most stressful times of life for most people. Swimming is an ideal stress-reducing activity. Older swimmers often display a significant decrease in high blood pressure. Another benefit is that swimming is perhaps the ideal exercise, giving a workout to every muscle group. Lastly, students who are relaxed and in good physical condition will increase their study efficiency.Question: The woman expresses her opinion about the proposal given by a student suggesting making swimming class a required course at the university. State her opinion and explain the reasons she gives for holding that opinion.Now hear a conversation between two students.A Proposal from a StudentI would like to suggest that the University of California, Riverside make swimming a required course for all present and incoming students.

State her opinion and explain the reasons she gives for holding that opinion.Now hear a conversation between two students.(分数:20.00)__________________________________________________________________________________________ 正确答案:(The letter urges that swimming should be a required course at the university because it is a good way to exercise and also relieves students' stress.The woman strongly disagrees with the suggestionFirst, she says that most students already have their preferred exercise and way to relax. This proposal is therefore unnecessary.Second, a required class is not relaxing. One cannot compel people to have fun. Plus, most students already know how to swim. Requiring them to take the swimming class is a waste of time. As such, the woman thinks this idea is misguided.)解析:[听力原文]W: What nonsense!M: Is anything wrong?W: No, I'm talking about this article in the university newspaper.M: What does it say?W: A student wants the school to require everyone to take swimming class.M: Swimming can be pretty useful. It can even save your life!W: She's only talking about how swimming is a great way to relax and exercise. But most people already have their own way to relax and to exercise. Take me, I ride a bicycle to lose weight and relax. lt's easy and I don't need to go to the pool, change clothes, get wet and cold. M: Me either! I like tennis.W: Besides, if you force people to learn swimming, how relaxed are they going to be? Having to go to a class takes all the fun out of swimming. Plus, anyway, most students already know how to swim. Why should they take the class at all? They'll learn nothing, waste their time, and probably feel more stressed out.M: True, true.Alternative Wording(替换表达)Synonyms (a)required—mandatory (b)compel—force(c)misguided—wrong-headedParaphrases 1. Most people already have their own fitness regimen and way to relax.2. Since most students are swimmers already, a required class in the subject represents a poor use of their time.四、Question 4(总题数:1,分数:20.00)4.Peak-End PhenomenonIn the psychology of memory and its reliability, one of the most important phenomena is the "peak-end" phenomenon. In simple terms, the two most important factors in how people remember an experience are its end and its peak. Namely, people tend to have the most vivid impressions about the most intense part and end segment of something they experienced. These findings suggest that memory is sometimes a poor guide in assessing the overall tenor of events. The ability to generalize tends to be overwhelmed by one or two striking moments as outlined above. Question: Using the information from the lecture, explain how the professor's memory of his vacation in Alaska demonstrates the peak-end phenomenon in the reading passage.Now hear a talk on the same subject.Peak-End PhenomenonIn the psychology of memory and its reliability, one of the most important phenomena is the "peak-end" phenomenon.

Question: Using the information from the lecture, explain how the professor's memory of his vacation in Alaska demonstrates the peak-end phenomenon in the reading passage.Now hear a talk on the same subject.(分数:20.00)__________________________________________________________________________________________ 正确答案:(The professor illustrates the peak-end phenomenon by giving an example from his own experience in Alaska during his vacation last year.According to the lecture, the weather was cold and rainy when the professor arrived in Alaska, so everyone stayed in the hotel for about a week. Later, he and his friends went outside and saw a whale close up during a lull in the rain. The experience was unforgettable. Also, at the end of the vacation, they had a party featuring good brandy, singing, and a cozy fire. Now, the only parts of the vacation he recalls are the whale and the party. He remembers having a great time, even though most of the hours were miserable.)解析:[听力原文]M: Let's get started, shall we? Today we are going to talk about peak-end phenomenon which refers to people's memory or impressions tending to center on only the peak-and- end part of events they experienced. So let's take an example, OK?Last summer, some friends and I went up to Alaska. In the Southeast of that state it rains constantly! Really, two-hundred days of rain is considered normal. So we stayed inside and watched TV. But, after about a week of silent misery, we were out on the harbor in a boat one day. Of course, the rain had stopped. Suddenly, only about a hundred yards away, a white whale surfaced! It was huge-like a building. And it was alive! You never ever forget a sight like that.After that we all got together in the hotel lounge, opened up some bottles of old French brandy, and sang songs around the fire place. And now, if you ask me about my Alaska vacation, I clearly remember only two things: that awesome whale and that cozy party. So I tell you I had a great time, even though we spent most of the time in our rooms watching TV and complaining because it was raining.Alternative Wording(替换表达)Synonyms (a)stay in—be cooped up in (b)go outside—venture out(c)unforgettable—memorable (d)recall—look back on(e)miserable—depressingParaphrases 1. The miserable weather in Alaska confined everyone to the hotel.2. Despite the fact that most days were unpleasant, he recalls that vacation as a high point in his life.五、Question 5(总题数:1,分数:20.00)5.Question: The speaking discusses two possible solutions to the woman's problem. Describe the problem and the two solutions. Then state which of the two solutions you prefer and explain why.Question: The speaking discusses two possible solutions to the woman's problem. Describe the problem and the two solutions. Then state which of the two solutions you prefer and explain why.(分数:20.00)__________________________________________________________________________________________正确答案:(The student has just run out of a necessary color when painting a class project, which she needs to complete and submit tomorrow.Her friend offers two solutions. First, she can order the needed paint online. Or, she can drive downtown and buy the paint color.Personally speaking, I prefer the second solution.First, delivery of the online purchase will take five days. She cannot afford to wait for the paint since the project is due tomorrow.Although there will be a traffic jam downtown, she can still get the color to complete her project and—maybe-submit it on time. It is better to do anything rather than sit at home complaining.) 解析:[听力原文]W: Ohhhhhh!M: What's wrong, Lisa?W: I just ran out of the Pyrrole Red I need to finish the painting project for my Art class. M: What's Pyrrole Red?W: It's a color of paint.M: Sorry, I am not an artist. So why don't you get some more?W: There's no time! This painting is due tomorrow morning.M: Let me see. You can just order more online.W: Ordering is instant. But I tried and the online store said that the transportation will take five days. That's way too late!M: Look, you have a car. Why not drive downtown and buy a bottle?W: There's no time! Traffic starts getting bad every afternoon after about two. I'd be lucky to get home before seven. I'm too busy with the painting to waste that much time.M: But you have to do something to get the color.Alternative Wording(替换表达)Synonyms (a)run out of—use up (b)color—tint, hue, shade(c)project—assignmentParaphrases The traffic jam might be a problem; the likelihood is that she can turn in her work on time.六、Question 6(总题数:1,分数:20.00)6.Question: Using points and examples from the talk, explain the two kinds of seasonal molting that enables animals to adapt to different conditions.Question: Using points and examples from the talk, explain the two kinds of seasonal molting that enables animals to adapt to different conditions.(分数:20.00)__________________________________________________________________________________________ 正确答案:(According to the lecture, there are two main reasons for animals to molt: to deal with changes in the temperature and to avoid being seen by predators.The professor gives an example of the hare. Hares have heavy fur in winter and light fur in summer. This helps them deal with the cold and the heat respectively.Also, in winter, the hare's fur turns white; in summer it turns brown. Both shades permit the animal to hide from the predators because the color of hare's fur blends in with the main colors of the seasonal environment and so predators cannot see it.)解析:[听力原文]W: Today, we'll touch on molting before opening the discussion of animal courtship. Molting, as I'm sure you know, involves an animal shedding its hair or feathers. Why do they do this? There are two main reasons. One has to do with the seasonal changes in temperature; the other with the environment and the animals need not be seen in order to protect them from predators. Let's look at the hare-the wild rabbit.Hares, and many mammals in temperate climates, grow a heavy coat of fur in the late autumn. This fur then keeps the animal warm throughout the cold winter. When the weather turns warm in the spring, the animal then sheds this fur for a light summer.Notice too, that the hare's coat also serves to protect it from predators. In the winter, the hare's fur is white. This helps prevent it from being seen when there is snow. Then in the summer its fur turns dull brown. And in the forests and fields, the fur again makes it hard for predators and hunters to see the animal. lf the hare does not move, it's actually possible for it to stand just a few feet away and not even being seen.So there we have a prime example of molting serving both to help the animal deal with temperature fluctuations and hide from predators. Are there any questions before we move on?Alternative Wording(替换表达)Synonyms (a)molt—shed hair or feathers (b)avoid—escape(c)brown—dun (d)predators—hunters(e)main—predominantParaphrases 1. The lecture informs us that the two reasons animals molt are to adapt to seasonal climatic variations and to escape the notice of their enemies.2. Both shades act as camouflage, concealing the hare from its enemies.。

Today, a lot of people still gothere to pray for good luck and good health. Interestingly, although it’s a holyplace, it’s located on the one of busiest streets in my hometown.But from the moment you enter the temple, you start to feel calm and peaceful. Like most historic buildings in the area, the temple faces south, andthe front gate is guarded by two stone lions. As you enter the front hall, youwill see four wood sculptures, which are called ‘the Four Heavenly Kings’.The Great Hall is separated from the front hall with a courtyard where youcan see lots of trees and plants. The roof of the Great Hall is supported by tall, thick columns. Inside it, you can see a Buddha statue and statues of hisstudents.The temple is well-preserved and in good condition. It attracts thousandsof tourists each year. And it provides cultural activities as well, including traditional art classes. So besides being a place of worship, it’s alsoeducational and fun.【阅读】一、考试概述:本次考试的文章是三篇新题,但有考生反应三篇题目为4月21日亚太考区原题。
5月30日托福阅读机经(新东方版)2015年5月30日托福阅读机经(新东方版)第一篇:考生回忆: 本文主要讨论的是戏剧(theatre)和电影(movie)的区别。
首先是演电影的演员是无法得到观众的即时反馈,而戏剧演员则可以。
所以有很多电影演员会时不时地去演一下戏剧。
其次是看戏剧的观众会因为喜欢同一台戏和同一个演员而形成一个圈子,有相互交流的经验,但是电影观众通常是独自观赏,也不会与别人交流。
再次,戏剧演出由于是现场演出,所以每次的演出都会有细微的差异。
戏剧演员也会根据前一次的表演改进和提高自己下一次的表演。
第二篇:考生回忆:文章主要讨论的是影响海洋生态环境的诸多因素。
首先是太阳辐射。
99%的太阳辐射在离地50~100米被云层吸收,其中红色长波辐射被大量吸收,而蓝色的短波辐射会到海洋深处,这就是海洋是蓝色的原因。
有了光,水上的浮游生物就可以进行光合作用,举了一个K生物的例子。
尽管有生物存在,但是这些生物大部分都是单细胞的。
而在海洋深处的缺乏氧气的阴暗的地方,会沉淀一些金属元素,这也是海底动物的养分。
季风也是影响海洋生态的元素,它有助于水体的垂直流动,表层的氧气下沉而底层的营养上升,从而能支持更多生物的生长。
但热带地区的湖泊缺乏交换,需要依靠流入的径流带来表层营养。
第三篇:考生回忆:文章讲的是地震的预测方法。
一共有两种,一种是长期的方法,依据是分析以往的数据,根据过去存在的可以预测的规律以及在历史中出现的频率来预测地震;另外一种是短期的方法,预测的依据是分别是某些气体、水位和地表的变化。
根据这些不同的变量一共建立了五个不同的模型。

5月30日托福口语机经回忆2015年5月30日托福口语机经回忆Task1. If one of your friends wants to transfer major from business to music, what advice would you give him?SampleI would give my friend the following suggestions. First of all, I would have a nice conversation with my friend. I would put forward a couple questions that I concern to see if he really had thought it through, like what is the biggest trouble of learning business, how much do you love music, do you have any plans for future career, things like that. If he has made up his mind to do so, I would back him up. Second, I would share my understanding of college education. What you learned in class might not be directly relevant to your job, but the abilities of critical thinking and problem solving could be applied to your future work and life. Once you decide to pursue a major you truly like, please carry on no matter how hard it is, you will pay you back someday.Task 2: Some people prefer to work alone, other prefer to work with others. Which do you prefer? Explain your answer in details.SampleAs a student, I prefer to study alone for the following reasons. First, individual study is much more effective than group study. For example, I can skip content that I’m already familiar with, or spend as much time as needed on things I don’t quite understand. On the other hand, I don’t like doing group studies much, because we need time to gather up. It takes time for transportation too. There is a huge chance that the discussion will soon get off track. People joke around a lot after they get to know each other and become friends.Task 3:The school plans to hold graduation ceremony on the grasslands of campus because guests are able to appreciate beautiful view of the school and Jenkins Hall cannot accommodate increasing number of people. The man doesn’t think it’s a good idea. Firstly, he thinks people will focus on the ceremony instead of looking around when it begins. Second, there aren’t too many graduates this year, there will be enough seats available. What’s more, the ceremony will be broadcast live in the student center, let alone some people would love to attend the ceremony in the hall.Task 4:Appeasement behavior means when social animals are facing conflict, the inferior ones yield to the superior ones to seek peace instead of a fight. The professor gave an example of wolves. Wolves live in groups, they hunt and share food together. If a little wolf takes away more food, the brother wolf will threaten the little one. Then the little thing will lie on the ground with all the furs flat., which helps get rid of a war.Task 5:The woman’s problem is she had applied for a dorm on campus, which is less expensive, but she found it’s near a construction site. She has loads of projects to do, and she needs a quiet space. There are two solutions for her. First is to reapply a dorm but she has to pay more. Second is to live here and study in the library, but she wants to finish her assignment at home.Task 6:The professor talks about two ways to make a company’s product unique. The first way is to emphasize the product’s quality in the ad. Say a computer company, when they sell their computer speaker, they stress it enjoys better sound quality and it candistinguish different sound track in music. The second way is to highlight its features. For example, a pasta sauce company acclaims their sauce are spicier in order to compete in the saturated market. Customers who love spicy food would be appealed to buy their brand.。

4.土豆传播,一开始以为是南美,但是和欧洲土豆有很多基因不同,后来发现有非洲基因,是西班牙人侵略带来的。
一开始传到欧洲人不被接受,后来因为北美的需求,英国政府开始鼓励种土豆,成为了主要实物。
法国作为转变点也接受了土豆,促进了土豆在欧洲的传播。
土豆为人口的增加提供了可能,举例是爱尔兰人口的增长。
5.意大利建筑史,佛罗伦萨辉煌时期的建筑屋顶非常复杂,通常需要很高技术,
一个建筑师为建筑做特别大的模型。
后来有一个教堂屋顶没人会做,烂尾了很久。
一个年轻建筑师落选了这个项目,因为他的方法是好几片铜拼起来的,而别人是完整的。
后来这个建筑师到处学习研究(举了个什么地方的建筑作为例子),最后被委员会接收完成项目。
6.研究海龟的声音,一开始技术不够无法研究海龟声音,被认为没有社交。
后来发现海龟用声音交流,为了方便研究海龟,选择追踪产卵期的海龟为研究对象。
他们把卵产在沙滩上,孵化的海龟会交流,胚胎的海龟交流更复杂。
成群结队的海龟能防止幼龟被大量捕食。
研究海龟的声音,对保护海龟有重要的生态意义,尤其是防止人类噪音对海龟繁殖的影响。

starting a business. First, being organized willcontribute to the efficiency of
our work. As you can see, when we start ourbusiness, we will get tons of things to do, and sometimes we get messed upbecause we don’t make plans. Organizing things ahead of time will reduce thiskind of situation. Plus, being
well-organized is the essential quality of beinga leader. You know, the

which means that when employees are faced withproblems, bosses can figure out
ways of solving it organizing the resourcessuch as the use of materials.

5.白垩纪大蜻蜓,长的大是因为氧气密度高,而且身体结构允许把氧气输送到身体各个角落。
不用飞太快就能捕捉猎物,没有天敌。
现代大蜻蜓一样有大翼展,而且肌肉密度高,因此古蜻蜓能利用高密度的氧气。
而且小蜻蜓能生活在水里,统治水域。
6.几内亚湾雨林生态的多样性。
雨林阻止了物种交流,因此在很短的地理范围内产生了很多不同的种类的生物。
但是在特定区域,雨林树木很高,留下了很大空间给一种生物捕食和繁殖,因此这种生物能广泛传播,而且不存在diversity,同时带着这种树的种子传播到整个安第斯山脉,这种树也没有diversity

theories in explaining why some plants fold theirleaves at night.
阅读
1. Protection against coldness (decrease the surfaceexposed)
2. Protection against infection (easy to be infected bynight rainstorm
because the spread of fungi requires water)
3. elimination of night time
light(植物根据白天感应的光判断什么时候开花,为了保证正确地记录时间,需要抵制夜晚的光线,如月光)
听力反驳
1. 实验证明闭合不可御寒,并且植物内部不储存能量,变冷的时候会迅速感觉到。
温度达到冰点,植物马上就会suffer from the cold,
那些合上和没合上叶子的植物都是如此
2. Folding the leaves can’t completely block the waterwhen there are night
rainstorm, 而且the spread of fungi 只需要很少水,所以合上叶子无法阻止感染
3. 有些植物不会接收到nighttime light, while still fold their leaves
atnight,例如有些植物在高大的树阴下,还是会闭合树叶。
