新托福T P O口语参考答案T P OThe following text is amended on 12 November 2020.a quality you think makes someone a valuable member f a team. Explain why you think it is an important quality for a team or g r o u p m e mb e r t o h a v e I think a valuable member of a team should be cooperative. If a member is cooperative, he or she will take the goal of the team as main goal not that of his or her own as the main goal. So he or she is willing to help other team members, to talk with others, to solve problems with others. Once I attended a computer program group. At that time we had four members and only one day left before we had to submit the program. So we all decided to gather together and stay overnight, writing the program, sharing ideas, discussing and solving problems. That was the time I felt we were like a team.people prefer to learn about current events from watching television news programs. Others prefer to read about current events in newspaper or on the Internet. Which do you think is better: watching the news or reading the news Explain why.I prefer watching the news to reading the new because watching the news can provide me with more details about what had happened. Usually in the video, I can see the scene, see the people and even hear their words. It seems as if I am in the scene. Besides, watching the news can get more objective information. Since thenews articles in the newspaper should be edited or censored, some important information may be omitted. However, videos news bringme to the scene and make me one of the witnesses. Even though, some might say videos can be clipped, I believe at the same censoring level, video is more objective than words.woman expresses her opinion about the plan described in the her opinion and explain the reasons she gives for holding the opinion.（题目并没有让我们总结阅读材料,所以阅读内容可说可不说）The girl doesn’t agree with the university on the plan. Firstly, she says that the teaching buildings aren’t just used for classes. They are also used by her evening study group. The group hold meetings in the classrooms. Now that it’s winter and cold, the study group has nowhere else to go. Secondly, she says the university shouldn’t disrupt the students’ academic study. There are many other things the university should do. The university can replace the old drafty windows that are poor isolated and alwayslet the cold in classrooms. Also, the old buildings are notenergy-efficient. So she thinks there are many basic improvements the university can do to make difference in the long-term andstill leave them somewhere to study.the example given by the professor, explain how franchising works. If someone opens a store or restaurant, he or she pays an established company to use the company’s name and sell thecompany’s products. This practice is called franchising. The professor uses an example to illustrate this practice. In the example, he wants to open a pizza restaurant. He wants to be successful, so he pays a big company that owns a chain of pizza restaurants called pizza town to use the name, pizza town. Since pizza town is already popular, it will surely sell well. So the new restaurant will have better chance to succeed. But in exchange, the new restaurant should follow the pizza town’s standard practice, selling pizzas like pizza town’s pizza, making store look like pizza town, and advertising like pizza town. So there is not much freedom. But the thing is they sell a lot of pizza.summarize the woman’s problem, then sate which solution youwould recommend. Explain the reasons for your recommendation.The woman’s supervisor, Professor Green， is going to France fora semester, but she still needs a lot of help for her project. Professor Green’s suggestion is that professor Baker can help woman. But the woman doesn’t know professor Baker at all and professor Baker is specialized in another area, so they are not exactly the best matched. Another solution is that the woman can have Professor Green’s advice long distance. Professor Green can look at the woman’s data through emails. But there will be no one supervising the woman’s experiment. In my opinion, I would recommend the woman to take the first suggestion. Even ifprofessor Baker’s expertise is not the woman’s study area, as a great biologist, professor Baker is still able to advise the woman and may give her new perspectives.points and examples from the talk, describe the two defense mechanisms mentioned by the professor.The professor says when people experience difficult situations, they may feel helpless and have psychological pain. In order to psychologically protect themselves they will unconsciously use defense mechanisms. For example a woman has a pet dog for a long time. But one day the dog runs away, she looks everywhere and just can’t find him. She feels helpless and sad. The first defense mechanism to deal with the pain is fantasy. She will use imagination to invent a happy story in her mind. In the story anice family found the dog and feeds him well and the dog is playing, running around, having fun so she doesn’t have to feel sad. Another mechanism is sublimation. Sublimation turns negative emotions into something useful, practical. The woman may start a dog training school to prevent other people dogs from running away. So by using sublimation she redirects her negative feeling into a positive, constructive activity.。

1. Talk about a special opportunity that was given to you. Explain why the opportunity was important.I was given an opportunity to study in the US one summer. This opportunity is very important to me for several reasons. Firstly, it was the first time I went abroad. I had imagined going abroad ever since I was a little kid. I never got a chance until that day I received a call from an administrator in my college telling me that I was granted the opportunity to study abroad for the summer vacation. Secondly, I learned and experienced a lot from this opportunity. In this exchange program, I was assigned a partner who was also a college student in the US.

Then explain your reasons, using specific details in your explanation.Students should not be allowed to bring cell phones (mobile phones) into the classroom.I totally don’t agree with this statement that students shouldn’t be allowed to bring cell phones into the classroom. One important purpose of cell-phone is that we can reach anyone at any time anywhere. If students’ parents need to inform them of some important things and students don’t have mobile phones with them, parents will have to come to the classroom or call others to reach the kids. This sounds pretty inconvenient in a modern age. On the other hand, simply bringing cell-phones into classroom won’t disturb other students or interrupt the class. Students just need to turn their sound off and make the signal to vibration. And if they receive some urgent phone-calls, they can go out to reply.3. The man expresses his opinion about the upcoming change. State his opinion and explain the reasons he gives for holding that opinion.The library is going to change big, multiperson study tables into personal study cubicles in order to eliminate noise in the library and accommodate more students attending the university. The man in the conversation thinks the university is making a mistake. As for the first purpose to reduce distraction, the man says if there is no multiperson tables in the library, therewill be no place to get together to do group projects. He thinks instead of changing tables, the university should build meeting rooms to reduce the noise in the main library hall. As for the second purpose to accommodate more students, the mans says the library has no problem with over crowding. He sees empty tables all the time and the woman always takes a whole table for herself. The man thinks it’ll be a waste of money to build the cubicles since the library now is sufficiently big to hold more students.4. Explain the concept of ritualization using the example of dogs discussed by the professor.Ritualization is a process in which an animal’s behavior that originally serves a practical purpose develops into one that communicates a specific message. The professor use dog’s baring teeth as an example to explain the concept. If dogs feel threatened, they show their teeth, meaning stay away. Before this dog’s behavior become a recognizable warning, its original purpose is to avoid biting its own lips. When dogs sense danger, they bite and instinctively bare teeth to avoid biting their own lips. But other animals over time notice the teeth baring behavior always came before a dog’s going to bite. So they started to read itas a signal to be careful. After this scenario repeated time after time, dogs themselves start to be aware that simply baring teeth is enough to protect themselves. So they use this behavior as a warning signal to communicate the possibility to attack rather than actually attack.5. The speakers discusses two possible solutions to the man's problem. Briefly summarize the problem. Then state which solution you recommend and explain why.The man just got his first draft of paper from the professor and he has to review all the comments and write a final draft. But there is only one day left. The woman offers him two possible suggestions. The first suggestion is to ask the professor for a deadline extension. Since all the other students got their paper a few days ago and only the man got his paper just now, the professor should take some responsibility for this situation. But the man doesn’t want to seem pushy and offensive. The second possible solution is to do his best with the time left. He can finish the paper quickly and work hard. Since he is a pretty good student, he can get a pretty good grade. But there are too manycomments to deal with. If I were the man, I would choose the first solution. Since this is the professor’s fault, even if it’ll be a little uncomfortable asking the extension, it’s still reasonable to do so. There is no need to worry about being offensive. The man just need to tell the problem to the professor in the first place. I’m sure the professor will understand.6. Using points and examples from the talk, explain the concept of diffusion.Diffusion is a culture process whereby one group or society adopts another’s item such as a custom, a type of food or an invention. Take the modern newspaper in the US as an example, the characters on the page came from another culture many centuries ago, the printing of words was invented in Germany and paper in China. These innovations were shared across cultures over a long distance and over a long periods of time. Besides, diffusion is sometimes selective. For example, people in the US accept the practice of acupuncture, but few of them fully understand it. Because cultures tend to resist ideas that are too different from their own beliefs and values. If ideas are close to their own, they will incorporate,medicine.。

TASK 1Some professors allow students to have exams at home, then bringing their test papers back to school to submit. From your perspective, can you talk about the advantage and disadvantage of this kind of examination?Sample response:Talking about having exams at home, the advantage isapparent; this way well may relive students’ pressure. Doing at home, they may refer to reference books, search on the Internet or communicate with others to complete their test papers. They won’t have to recite a lot of things before exams.While the disadvantage is obvious too, doing at home, they don't have to recite and remember many things, such as new words, some equations or experiments in their mind, in the future, when they have to use such knowledge in their work, they can not extract them instantaneously, which may pose inconvenience and even influence their promotion.TASK 2When having class discussion, some people prefer to give their opinions immediately. Others prefer to wait and listen to others’ opinions before giving their own. Which one do you think is better?Sample response:In terms of these two choices, when having discussion, I prefer to give my opinions immediately.For one thing, my opinions shouldn’t be influenced by others. Towards one event, whether right or not, whether reasonable or not, whether acceptable or not, I have my own opinions. I don’t need to follow others’ ideas.For another thing, first expressing may give me the advantage. When having class discussion, if always listening to others first, other people may be likely to say what I would like to say next. When it comes to me, I may have nothing to say or have to repeat others. Sometimes I may feel uncomfortable.托福口语解题步骤详解Step1：STUDENTS SHOULD UNDERSTAND THE QUESTION FIRST第一步：考生要先了解托福口语试题问的是什么One crucial point to be able to speak logically in the test is by making sure that one truly understands the question or the problem that needs to be answered or solved. If the answer that one gives is not even related to the question， then the answer becomes totally illogical. Even if all the grammars， dictions and even the choice of words are carefully said，the whole thing becomes nonsense. As they say，human beings were created with two ears， two eyes and one mouth because God wants us to listen more，see and observe more and speak less. In the medical field，doctor should be able to find the sickness first before being able to prescribe the right medicine. To be able to give the best solution and answers， students must be able to know and understand what the problem or question is.要让托福口语有逻辑很重要的一点是你要真正理解问题的含义，知道应该如何解决问题，处理问题。

新托福TPO 口语参考答案新托福TPO 口语参考答案——TPO11. Talk about a book you have read that was important to you for some reason. Explain why thebook was important to you. Give specific details and examples to explain your answerRecently, I read a book named Keep the aspidistra flying written by George Orwell. The bookinfluences me a lot because the story has something that touches my heart. The story talks about aman who wants to be a poet and who abandons many well-paying jobs to pursue his dream ofbeing a poet. I have a similar experience of quitting a very good job in order to be a writer. Also,the man in the story is lack of money because he works as a bookstore assistant and thus has avery low salary. He lives in a shabby apartment and sometimes have no money to buy food. Again,I?ve got similar experience. I once lived in a cramped apartment alone and had no money. Thebook is important to me because it touches me and gives me encouragement to persist.2. Some people believe that television has had a positive influence on society. Others believe ithas had a negative influence on society. Which do you agree with and why? Use details andexamples to explain your opinion.I think television has a positive influence on society. It?s a good source of news. The members inthe society can get news easily from News Channels and thus keep themselves informed of what?shappening around. Like, my grandfather watches News on TV everyday just to keep up with thelatest events.Beside television can be a kind of entertainment. People can watch different showson TV such as funny talk shows and soap operas. I have many friends who like watching Lateshow with David Letterman and some other friends like watching TV series such as Lost andFriends. They all consider TV as a good way of relaxing themselves and of killing time. So, withthe news and same TV programs, people in a society share a lot of things that they can talk aboutin any event. Therefore, society actually benefits from TV.3. Explain why the woman disagrees with the reasons expressed in the letter.The writer of the letter opposes the university?s plan to acquire a new sculpture because theuniversity?s financial condition is poor and the sculpture is so large that it?ll take up all the greenspace in front of the campus center. The woman in the conversation thinks the two reasons aretotally unconvincing. The woman says it?s an anonymous donor who pays the bill of the sculpturenot the university so there is no need to worry about the university?s financial condition. As for thepoint about the space, the woman thinks Paul, the writer of the letter, always plays soccer with hisfriends on the lawn where the sculpture will be. She thinks Pauljust doesn?t want to move toanother place. For him, it?s convenience versus sculpture.4. Explain groupthink and its effects using example of the computer company.Groupthink is a process in which individual members of a group conform their ideas to the groupconsensus even if the result may not be well. The professor in the lecture uses his personalexperience in a computer company to illustrate this process. Once he and his co-worker suggestedto give their computer a design make-over to look cooler in order to attract new customers. At first,the majority supported their suggestion. But there were a few senior managers who didn?t support.Then some supporters changed their mind, so did the professor?s co-worker. The co-workerchanged his mind because he didn?t want to make a bad impression on senior managers. Hethought disagreeing with them might harm his future promotion. Then after a long discussion andwith more and more people sided with senior managers, the professor himself thought he was theonly one who?s delaying the decision. Then, he voted against himself. So they all agreed not tohave this design make-over. At last, the company lost profit because its competitors came up withgood-looking computers and win more customers.5. The speakers discuss two possible solutions to the woman?s problem. Briefly summarize theproblem. Then state which should solution you recommend and explain why.The woman was supposed to drive a bunch of elementary students tothe zoo tomorrow but shedidn?t rent a van in time and the kids will be disappointed if the trip gets cancelled. The mansuggests her to borrow a car from one of her friends. But she has to borrow two cars to hold all thekids and it?s hard to find another driver. Then the man suggests her to take the publictransportation. He is pretty sure that there is a bus line past the zoo. But the woman thinks it?s hardto control the kids on the bus. Well personally, I would recommend the woman to take the bus line.Even if the kids are handful, they are still controllable. But there is no guarantee that she canborrow two cars and find another driver at the same time.6. Using the research described by the professor, explain what scientists have learned about themathematical abilities of babies.In the lecture the professor describes how scientists learn about baby?s mathematical abilities.Researchers did an experiment to test baby?s ability to add that baby knows one plus one equalstwo. They first put a doll in front of a baby and lowered the screen to hide the doll. So the babyknows it?s there. Then they clearly put another doll behind the screen so there should be two dolls.But researchers secretly took one away and when they lift the screen up, the baby was surprisedbecause it expected to see two dolls but there was only one. We know when a baby is surprised, itstares at the thing that makes it feel surprised. The researchers recorded the baby?s eye-movementwith a camera and found that the baby stared. So the baby has the ability to add. It knows one dollplus one doll equals two dolls.新托福TPO 口语参考答案——TPO21. Choose a place you go to often that is important to you and explain why it is important. Pleaseinclude specific details in your explanation.I often go to the basketball court near my apartment. It?s very important to me because I playbasketball there everyday and basketball is my favorite sport. Ever since I was a little boy, I havebeen playing in that court with my friends. When in junior high, I practiced shooting and dribblingin that court nearly everyday till late at night. Besides, the court is the reminder of an awful lot ofmy valuable memories. I still can remember that how I started out shooting badly and then afterseveral weeks? practice, I could shoot well and dribbled well. I can also remember many friendswith whom I played basketball and form teams. Without that court, I couldn?t possibly make somany friends. So it?s very important to me.2. Some college students choose to take courses in a variety of subject areas in order to get a broadeducation. Others choose to focus on a single subject area in order to have a deeper understandingof that area. Which approach to course selection do you think is better for students and why?Well, I think taking a wide variety of courses is better for students. Because, first of all, I thinkundergraduate study is meant for broadness. Students had better broaden their horizon and preventthemselves from being narrow-minded. Second of all, I think before students find their “true love”,I mean, the subject they really want to go deep into, they should probably extend their study fieldand taste different subjects in various areas so as to identify the “true love”. Take myself as anexample, my major is software engineering in the college, but I took various courses outside mymajor field. Then I found out that I was more interested in literature than in computer and software.So literature is my “true love”.I think it depends on the students themselves. If a student doesn?t know his or her interest. It?sbetter for them to take a variety of courses so as to taste various kinds of subjects to find theirinterest. Take myself as an example, my major is software engineering in the college, but I tookvarious courses outside my major field. Then I found out that I was more interested in literaturethan in computer and software. So literature is my interest. If a student already know what he likesand what he needs to learn. Then taking many different classes will be a little bit waste of time.It?s better for this student to concentrate on his or her interest. For instance, I don?t think BillGates need to take courses other than computer science when in Harvard, coz he knew what heliked and what he wanted. He already knew his interest.3. The man expresses his opinion of the university?s plan to eliminate the bus service. State hisopinion and explain the reasons he gives for holding that opinion.The university has decided to stop its free bus service because not very many students ride the busand plans to use the money saved to expand the overcrowded parking lots. But the manin theconversation doesn?t like the plan. As for the point about few students riding the bus, the man saysit?s because the bus routes are out of date. The bus only goes through the places that are tooexpensive for students to live. If the buses change route and the man thinks there will be plenty ofstudents taking those buses. The man also disagrees with the university?s plan to expand theparking lots. He thinks the plan will encourage more students to drive, which will add noise andcreate more traffic. Then they?ll need more parking space. He thinks the university should make iteasier for students to take the public buses not the other way around.4. Explain how the examples of tying shoes and learning to type demonstrate the principle ofaudience effects.The principle of audience effects is that individuals? performance is affected by the knowledgethat others are watching them. The professor uses examples of tying shoes and learning to type todemonstrate that we actually increase our speed of performing if we know that we are beingobserved. In the example of tying shoes, one group of collegestudents was told that they werebeing observed, the other didn?t know they were being observed. The students who knew theywere being watched tied their shoes much faster than the other group. And in the example oflearning to type, when we are conscious of being observed, we will increase typing speed. Wetype faster than we do alone. Also, other behavioral pattern will increase, like making mistakes.So when we type faster when we know we are being observed, we also make more mistakes.5. The speakers discuss two possible solutions to the woman?s problem. Describe the problem andthe two solutions. Then explain what you think the woman should do and why.The professor asks the woman to attend a field trip, but the womanhas already promised anotherprofessor to help set up a museum exhibition next week. And this is the problem. The professoroffers two possible solutions. The first is that she can talk to the other professor to see if there issomeone else who can replace the woman to help set up the museum exhibition. Thesecond is thatthe woman finishes setting up the museum before they set out the field trip. Actually, I think thewoman should choose the second solution, because she has already agreed to help the otherprofessor and the other professor is counting on her. It?s possible that there is no one else who cantake her place. So she?d better finish the task first before she goes to the field trip.6. Using points and examples from the talk, explain the two definitions of money presented by theprofessor.The professor talks about two definitions of money, a broad one and a narrow one. By the broaddefinition, money is everything with which we can make purchases. For example, coins and billscan be money, because we can use them to buy goods such as vegetables and pay for services suchas taxi. But in a barter system, vegetables can be money, because farmers can give driversvegetables in exchange for a drive. By the narrow definition, in a society, the legal tender ismoney. For instance, in the US, drivers and farmers must accept dollars as payment. People canuse dollars to pay for taxi and buy vegetables because dollar is the legal tender in the US. So,dollar in the form of coin and bill is money.新托福TPO 口语参考答案——TPO31. What characteristics do you think make someone a good parent? Explain why thesecharacteristics are important to you.I think a good parent should be patient. Because children are always confused with the thingsaround them, they ask questions every now and then. A good parent should be patient enough togive them answers. When i was very young, I always asked questions like “Why canairplanesfly?”,“Why can?t we fly?” and “Why the earth is a globe?”. My parents answered these questionspatiently and if they couldn't, they would buy books that have the answers to my questions. I alsothink a good parent should be open-minded. In other words, they should respect their children'sdecisions when their kids are growing up. My parents always show their respect to my decisions.My major in the college is software engineering, but I decided to be an English teacher aftergraduation. My parents respected my decision and allow me to pursue my own interest. Thanks tomy parents, I am patient and I respect other people.2. Some students prefer to work on class assignments by themselves. Others believe it is better towork in a group. Which do you prefer? Explain why.I prefer to work on assignments individually. There are two reasons. The first is that I like to be ina quiet place while studying. If I study in a group, I will always be interrupted by group memberswho talk about irrelevant things. Then it?s possible that I can?t even finish the assignments. Once,I attended a group discussion. Many people were not even discussing. They were just talkingabout NBA games. When it ended, I got nothing from it. The second reason is that I?d like to thinkindependently. Studying individually gives me enough time to develop my own ideas. Whenstudying in a group, I will always be distracted by other?s opinions and thoughts. So sometimesmany assignments are not done by myself but by other group members. Like last week, I workedin a group to solve math problems. It turned out that many problems were solved by others not bymyself. I felt very unhappy about it.Personally, I like working in groups better. There are two reasons to name. First is that there isdiversity in groups. Group members all have their different perspectives so some members canhelp other members. Last week, I attended a math group and there was one math problem Icouldn?t work out. But there was one member who knew how to solve that problem and heworked out the problem in a completely different way. Then I learned from him. The secondreason is that I can practice my communicative skills. In group discussions, I should be able tounderstand others? ideas and at the same time to convey mine clearly in order to make thecommunication go well. I learn how to express myself properly and to be a good-listener.3. The woman expresses her opinion of the change that has been announced. State her opinion andexplain her reasons for holding that opinion.Dining services will not serve hot breakfast food anymore. They only serve coldbreakfast food.The woman in the conversation thinks the change is ridiculous. First of all, she thinks whethersomething is hot or cold doesn?t necessarily mean it is healthy. She says that in a really coldmorning, a nice warm omelet is obviously better than a bowel of cold cereal. Secondly, she thinksthe change will not help save money. Because if the students can?t get what they want from dininghall, they will go off-campus. Then they have to pay off-campus price, which is more expensive.So this change will not help save money but actually end up costing more.。
