2016年8月20日/21日托??谡Z(yǔ)預(yù)測(cè)Task 3:
No.1
The school plans to close the gym for 2 weeks during the spring break for some minor renovations. The woman in the conversation agrees.
First, the renovations won't cause much inconvenience because few students will stay on campus during the break. Those who do stay usually focus on their study and seldom use the gym. Like when she was staying on campus to finish up a project, she went to the gym once and no one was there. Second, outdoor facilities are still available if students do want to exercise. It is quite warm and actually perfect for outdoor activities.
NO.2
閱讀:學(xué)校說(shuō)下學(xué)期開(kāi)始給新生做的campus tour就不由admin來(lái)做了,讓高年級(jí)學(xué)生自己做
,聽(tīng)力:某女很同意,理由一是admin太忙了,理由二是學(xué)生對(duì)campus有不同的看法,并且這些看法更practical.
NO.3
Passage 一個(gè)letter關(guān)于教學(xué)樓內(nèi)improvement proposal. 一是在每層樓多設(shè) power plug. 二是每層樓設(shè)打印機(jī)。
Conversation:男生同意這個(gè)建議。第一條他說(shuō)現(xiàn)在很多學(xué)生都有l(wèi)aptop. 舉了個(gè)自己的例子,說(shuō)他帶laptop 去上課,但沒(méi)電了,他找不到power plug, 跑了很遠(yuǎn)充電。第二條是學(xué)生有可能在課間完成assignment, 需要打印。
NO.4
jazz band 要在 afternoon 在校園的 lawn 開(kāi) concert ,woman 不滿意 因?yàn)?1. 學(xué)生要學(xué)習(xí), 會(huì)打擾,evening 更好 2. 很多人聚堆會(huì)踏壞草坪
The jazz band is going to hold free concerts on the lawn on campus in the afternoon.
The woman disagrees with it.
Reason 1: Students study in the afternoon, so concerts will disturb them. It's better to have concerts in the evening.
Reason 2: Too many people standing on the lawn will destroy it.
NO.5
學(xué)校要建個(gè)休息室給不住學(xué)校的學(xué)生用,可以放書,有l(wèi)ocker,放一些bus schedule。男生不同意一:住學(xué)校的同學(xué)也需要,因?yàn)樗奚岷苓h(yuǎn)。圖書館已經(jīng)有l(wèi)ocker,不需要再建。二:沒(méi)必要專門為放bus schedule建休息室,網(wǎng)上電話都可以查。
NO.6
報(bào)紙出通知:新生統(tǒng)一住校,原因有二:一是向?qū)W生提供建立學(xué)習(xí)小組的機(jī)會(huì);二是緩解校園停車場(chǎng)的壓力。
女的不同意:一,.她拿自己舉例,根本沒(méi)有因?yàn)樽⌒6W(xué)習(xí)小組;二,新生住校非但不能緩解停車場(chǎng)的壓力,反而會(huì)因?yàn)楦嗟膶W(xué)生住校帶來(lái)更多的長(zhǎng)時(shí)間霸占車位的現(xiàn)象而造成車位短缺加劇。
NO.7
Reading:
Suggestion: University should allow freshmen to part their cars on campus.
Reason 1: it's easier for them to find a job
Reason 2: they can drive home at weekends
Listening:
The woman disagrees.
Reason 1: freshmen are super busy with their study, it's unnecessary for them to find a job
Reason 2: driving home at weekends will only make them more homesick and make it harder for them to settle in the new environment
NO.8
說(shuō)2種survey
estimation survey(好像是這個(gè)詞)就是估算了,舉例:公司調(diào)查停車位,只要大概了解多少員工就可
B.精確survey(原詞忘記了),舉例:學(xué)校調(diào)查有多少老師教science,就需要精確數(shù)字
2016年8月20日/21日托福口語(yǔ)預(yù)測(cè)NO.9
The letter proposes the school should open classes outside the classroom because good scenery will make the students focus and avoid boredom and the school has installed some benches and seats outside.
The student disagrees with the proposal.
First, there are too many distractions outside. Students will be distracted when friends are passing through.
Second, there aren't enough seats available, it's inconvenient for students to take notes if they have to stand there.

閱讀:停止爵士合唱團(tuán),因?yàn)楦信d趣的人少,沒(méi)有必要繼續(xù)了
聽(tīng)力:女人覺(jué)得真不好。
理由一:主要是因?yàn)槠綍r(shí)訓(xùn)得太勤了,導(dǎo)致很多學(xué)生不來(lái)了
理由二:沒(méi)有其他選擇了,很多是經(jīng)典,但不是爵士,女人不喜歡,其他學(xué)生也不喜歡。
1
口語(yǔ)三:學(xué)校報(bào)社計(jì)劃推出一個(gè)pro-peering?project,即,在學(xué)生提交Paper前,報(bào)社人員幫助同學(xué)修改,有利于balabala
女生覺(jué)得 不好, 1)報(bào)社人員也是學(xué)生,不一定給出什么好建議。
2)即使好建議, 也不利于學(xué)生的長(zhǎng)遠(yuǎn)發(fā)展, 還是培養(yǎng)獨(dú)立意識(shí)比較好。
2
閱讀:【公開(kāi)信】:小報(bào)上刊登了來(lái)自一個(gè)學(xué)生的公開(kāi)信. 倡議大學(xué)應(yīng)該to build an electronic board (電子告示板)at student center.
好處: 1. make student get information about coming up events easily rather than acquiring news at different places on campus by posters.
(之前使用貼在校園各處的海報(bào)不一定能讓所有人看見(jiàn),而這個(gè)電子告示板在固定的位置,學(xué)校的人來(lái)來(lái)往往能看見(jiàn),信息覆蓋面很大)
2. 學(xué)校也會(huì)更整潔,因?yàn)閴ι蠜](méi)海報(bào)了
聽(tīng)力:【學(xué)生議論】:男學(xué)生覺(jué)得這主意interesting, 女生反對(duì)這個(gè)計(jì)劃.
理由:
It is better to get news from different locations on campus because
1. they are everywhere (more than one place). If they do not go to student center, they will miss the notice. 舉了她在圖書館看到海報(bào),所以didn't miss a show / concert的例子.
電子告示板不一定能夠像預(yù)想的那樣,讓那么多人獲取信息,因?yàn)楹芏嗳瞬辉敢饣〞r(shí)間特意經(jīng)過(guò)電子告示板來(lái)看有什么新的消息。舉例:她自己上周五去了圖書館看到海報(bào),所以didn't miss a show / concert,如果沒(méi)有去過(guò)就看不到了,所以一個(gè)信息不能只在一個(gè)地方發(fā)布。
2. Even though the new bulletin board was estabilished, students will still do posters because of it is convenient (沒(méi)有人會(huì)提交information, 然后再等它post出來(lái))
question:explain the woman's opinion towards the suggestion and why she holds that opinion.

S3閱讀:是說(shuō)學(xué)校決定把每個(gè)班級(jí)的人數(shù)從8人增加到15人。原因是有更多的學(xué)生apply這些課程,但是學(xué)校的faculty有限。
聽(tīng)力;男同學(xué)的意見(jiàn):
1、增加人數(shù)減少了communication with faculty,降低了小課堂的參與程度
2、既然有更多的學(xué)生,就可以獲得更多的錢,就可以請(qǐng)更多的faculty解決了人力不足的問(wèn)題。簡(jiǎn)言之就是 more students, more money, more faculty
問(wèn)題是:學(xué)校作出了怎樣的決定,男同學(xué)的意見(jiàn)是什么?
4
大學(xué)要建藝術(shù)教學(xué)樓,女生同意,因?yàn)樾聵菍挸髁?,有助于?chuàng)作;對(duì)教授的聲譽(yù)又有好處,因?yàn)樾M庖粯堑男藿?,?dǎo)致人們紛紛去那個(gè)樓去學(xué)藝術(shù)。

Reading: Only qualified students have the right to work at the computer center. There are 3 reasons for this, but they are irrelevant to the speaking part.
Listening:
Man: I don't think it works.
Reason:
1)There should be a minimum grade requirement. How do you decide if a student is qualified enough? The university should offer a computer repair course. (這個(gè)地方我不是很確定)
2)Even when prospective students' pass the minimum grade requirement, they should only be allowed to handle situations that aren't overly complicated.
6
Reading Part:
Nowadays, college newspaper hires students from different majors to write for them articles. In the future, they should only hire journalism students to write. This way they can deal with students who are actually interested in news and have more articles completed.
Listening part: Disagree
1) Students in other majors may also be interested in writing news pieces, so the school should encourage those students to write for college newspaper as well. Take this history major for example. He wants to enter the news industry in the future.
2) Having more articles isn't important. There is no point in having too many articles coming in, because the newspaper may not have the resources and time to deal with editing so much writing. The process of preparing an article is complicated, as it includes the efforts of both the editors and the writers. There is a lot of back and forth between those who write and those who review and edit.

Task 3
【學(xué)生寫信】:
學(xué)生寫信建議學(xué)校的劇院演出應(yīng)該向所有人免費(fèi)開(kāi)放。
好處1:當(dāng)?shù)鼐用衲軌虻玫絝ree entrainment;
好處2:觀眾多了演員會(huì)演的更有熱情。
【學(xué)生態(tài)度】:男生贊成此建議。
理由1:nearby沒(méi)有什么theater, 來(lái)回的交通費(fèi)加上演出費(fèi)很貴。開(kāi)放學(xué)校劇院能讓當(dāng)?shù)鼐用癫挥门芎苓h(yuǎn)就能欣賞到professional的演出;
理由2:男生自己作為一個(gè)actor, 覺(jué)得觀眾多可以給他鼓勵(lì)。舉例說(shuō)當(dāng)表演一段幽默戲的時(shí)候,底下只坐了一半人,沒(méi)什么人笑,會(huì)影響表演質(zhì)量。相反,要是人多,反響熱烈,表演也更有勁了。
Question:Explain the man's opinion and why he holds that opinion.

閱讀:一個(gè)學(xué)生給的提議,說(shuō)學(xué)校地上垃圾多,張貼畫也臟,多。提議學(xué)生組成volunteer,分組拾垃圾。
聽(tīng)力中兩個(gè)學(xué)生討論,一個(gè)女生就不同意,她說(shuō):臟要看情況,我們學(xué)校這么大,人這么多。剛掃干凈,又會(huì)有垃圾,張貼畫,你撕了人家再貼,也是一樣的,而且學(xué)生到學(xué)校是學(xué)習(xí)的,不是做志愿者的。真要干凈校園,學(xué)校要雇人,花錢叫專人來(lái)干。
2016年8月20日/21日托??谡Z(yǔ)預(yù)測(cè)Task 4:
No.1
Recruitment: Insects release signals to inform other insects to come and cooperate. For example, there is a type of ant called the fire ant that live in nests in South America. Some ants have a special job which is to leave the nests to find food. When one ant finds a piece of fruit too big for it to carry back, it will walk back to recruit more ants while releasing a chemical that forms a trail on the way. When it arrives, other ants can then follow the trail and find the fruit and then carry it back together.
NO.2
Definition: Environment impact assessment, ""The purpose of the assessment is to ensure that decision makers consider the environmental impacts when deciding whether or not to proceed with a project."
Example: The professor gives an example of a construction company. The company was going to build a shopping center on a large land. Before the construction, they did a study and found the land was wetland. Their original plan was to fill solid soil into this land. But the environment impact assessment said that the wetland was very important for the environment. It could prevent flooding because it could hold water. So they decided not to fill the land and cancel this plan. Alternatively, they moved to another piece of land.
NO.3
閱讀部分講到實(shí)驗(yàn)考古學(xué),研究人員運(yùn)用古人的技術(shù)和工具來(lái)實(shí)踐。聽(tīng)力部分講了個(gè)例子,說(shuō)有一塊大陸和一個(gè)島,這個(gè)島上的人早是不是從這個(gè)大陸來(lái)的呢?大陸上的人有木有這個(gè)能力到島上去。于是研究人員就用當(dāng)年的技術(shù)、木頭和繩索造了個(gè)木木筏,然后坐這個(gè)木筏穿過(guò)這片海洋,證明大陸上的人是有能力去島上的,所以很可能是島上的人的來(lái)源。
NO.4
Task4:
priming:人們?cè)缦鹊慕?jīng)歷會(huì)影響他們對(duì)事物的interpret
例子:如果一個(gè)男生,上車并且打開(kāi)notebook 然后寫東西:
一個(gè)女人早上遇到大學(xué)同學(xué),就回想起大學(xué)生活。所以她認(rèn)為這個(gè)男生是學(xué)生并且在work for classes 或work for due paper
一個(gè)女人剛剛讀完詩(shī)歌,所以她認(rèn)為男生是詩(shī)人。

Task 4:
anticipated emotion。人們采取行動(dòng)之前會(huì)對(duì)自己做了這個(gè)事情之后會(huì)有一個(gè)怎樣的心情有一個(gè)估測(cè),然后根據(jù)這個(gè)估測(cè)決定自己是不是要做那件事。lecture 里,教授舉例子說(shuō)有去給妹妹買生日禮物,發(fā)現(xiàn)一件很想買的 jacket,但是買了 jacket 之后就只能給妹妹買很便宜的小禮物,于是他就想如果真的買了 jacket 的話他肯定會(huì)很愧疚,所以后決定還是不買了
Anticipated emotion: Before doing something, people will anticipate the kind of emotion they might have after doing it, and therefore decide whether they will do it or not based on the emotion.
Example: The professor went to buy his sister a birthday present, but saw a jacket he really wanted. If he bought the jacket, he would have to buy a cheaper present for his sister. Then thought about how he would feel if he had bought the jacket and thought he would feel guilty, so he decided not to buy the jacket.
NO.6

Reading material:廣告常用的訴求策略就是affiliation:a sense of being member of certain group.就是群體歸屬感。經(jīng)常表現(xiàn)為兩種方式:做對(duì)的事,成為群體一員;做錯(cuò)的事,被群體拋棄。
Listening material:廣告商經(jīng)常采取的營(yíng)銷策略,就是品牌歸屬感訴求。舉某種蘇打水Suda為例。
要么是一群男女,燈紅酒綠,都喝同一種品牌的Suda水,這意味著,喝這種品牌,就能享受共同的happy;
要么是一個(gè)人boy在酒吧里,燈紅酒綠,他開(kāi)了一瓶Suda,但很不幸是錯(cuò)的品牌brand,突然間全場(chǎng)安靜,朋友moving away,就是因?yàn)樗_(kāi)了錯(cuò)的Suda,就被群體孤立。

environment before the other species come and avoid them to utilize the habitat.
Listening part:
alter the
Priority effects occur when a species that arrives first at a site impacts a species that arrives
later by reducing the availability of space or resources. The species coming first may
There's a kind of small ants(文中始終未給出該螞蟻名稱), when they first arrive a new habitat, say an "askentia(音) tree", their unique habit is to eat part of the tree which produces nectar, because they don't rely on it. They are altering the environment before any other species come.
There is a kind of bigger ants, they're more aggressive and can easily occupy the trees as they want, and can force the smaller ants to leave. However, they rely on the nectar produced by "askentia" tree very much. So the smaller ants stop the tree producing nectar to avoid the bigger ants to take up the tree, so that they can stay living there.
How does the example in the listening part explain the concept of priority effects?

閱讀:【課文要點(diǎn)】: Negative Ideation: a method used by people to resist desires by adding something negative. 就是說(shuō)通過(guò)聯(lián)系不好的情況來(lái)resist壞東西,幫人解決壞習(xí)慣.Brood parasites(孵育寄生動(dòng)物): animals that use a unconventional tactic to let other animals hatch their offspring for them.
就是說(shuō)通過(guò)聯(lián)系不好的情況來(lái)resist壞東西,幫人解決壞習(xí)慣。即 make negative associations with the thing, 這樣就可以讓這個(gè)東西變得less appealing and more resistible。教授用一個(gè)自己的例子解釋。
聽(tīng)力:【教授舉例】: 教授舉的他自己戒除巧克力的例子. 教授很喜歡loves chocolate bar because it is tasty, 但吃太多不好. But chocolate is not good. So he used the method of negative ideation to refuse chocolate. 后來(lái)Whenever he wanted to buy chocolate bar he would think it is associate with mud which is the mixture of dirt and water, 來(lái)reduce the temptation, 就戒了he stopped buying.
教授舉例他以前很喜歡吃巧克力,但是過(guò)高的糖分讓他過(guò)于肥胖。為了戒掉巧克力,讓自己更健康,他采取了這種technique,他把巧克力切成小碎末然后拍了一張照片。他想象巧克力是mud做的,這樣逐漸他就覺(jué)得巧克力很惡心,后來(lái)就戒掉了。

1. The professor talks about why solidarity develops in different societies.
One reason is that all society members do the same kind of job. For example, people in rural areas are mainly farmers who deal with basic work and so they share similar lives. Solidarity develops in this society because the same job creates a sense of unity.
The other reason is because of different divisions of job. For instance, people in town have different tasks like doctors and stuff, and they are interdependent. Solidarity develops in this kind of society because people depend on each other.

商家一般通過(guò)兩種策略來(lái)cut conceived waiting time。
(1),讓顧客有事可做:Let the consumers have something to do.給了兩個(gè)例子,一是在醫(yī)院休息室的doctor's waiting room,放一電視TV,大家看電視,不知不覺(jué)時(shí)間就過(guò)去了;二是在電梯口elevator,放一鏡子mirror,大家對(duì)著鏡子臭美一下,時(shí)間就過(guò)去了,就cannot conceived the waiting time了。
(2),告訴顧客他們實(shí)際上等待了多久tell them the real waiting time。很多人就是自己覺(jué)得等得長(zhǎng),他等了十分鐘覺(jué)得已經(jīng)等了二十分鐘了,于是就著急。這第二種策略常見(jiàn)的就是火車站,大喇叭里不停的告訴你,還有多長(zhǎng)時(shí)間,通過(guò)這種tell you the truth 的方式,來(lái)reduce conceived waiting time.

The professor talks about two types of suspense in a movie.
The first type is that the audience feels interesting to guess the end. For example, two heroes set the same goal, but the audiences have no idea who comes first.
The second type is that the audiences know the end but they have no clue how to get to the end. For example, in a love story, the hero and heroine doom to meet in the end, but how they meet each other becomes intriguing.

Lecture: Small Business: drawbacks on home-based business
For many small businesses, instead of renting, they prefer to work from home. Though working from home has its merits, a home-based business has some drawbacks.
1) Can't Maintain a Professional Image
People working in home-based businesses don't set a clear boundary between business and personal life. The customers may think they are not professional and serious about the business. For example, if a home-based business is a catering service that provides food for some major event, a customer would call and not expect a baby crying in the background. However, if it happened, the customer will for sure think that the business is not professional enough for their event and not trust the ability of the caterer to provide good-quality food.
2) Will Affect the Lives of the Neighbors
Use the catering example again, the business may hire two or more workers to help with the preparation of food. These workers may need to park their cars on the street, which would take up the neighbors' parking spots. Having their spots taken, the neighbors would definitely complain.
Question: Describe the two drawbacks of home-based businesses.

Wetland's two benefits for animals.
1). for nursery, sharks lay eggs in wetlands close to the ocean, because wetlands are shallow, there are not large predators, baby sharks can grow safely in the wetlands and survive in the ocean.

2). for rest and find food. Immigrating birds, for example, paper, during the long journey of immigration, stop the wetlands to find the food because they can find similar food like before.

to rest and feed themselves. 舉例,一種要cross美洲的migrate bird, 在長(zhǎng)途遷徙的過(guò)程中需要休息或者覓食,這時(shí)候濕地發(fā)揮了很大的作用:在這里可以resting and setting,這里還有很多吃的,就跟它們平時(shí)吃的一樣,所以很適合停留。

Lecture: Two Advantages of the Beta Testing Method in Business
A beta test is an opportunity that gives the intended audience some samples to try the product out first.
1) Get feedback from the customers
The producer can get feedback from the customers who try the product. They will know which aspects of the product the customers like and don't like. A camera company, for example, may give some professional photographers new sample cameras to test out. After testing, the photographers may report, for example, that the flash doesn't work well because it produces too much light. The company will then know they need to work on the flash to make the overall product more desirable.
2) Providing Free Advertising
If the tested audience thinks the new product is satisfactory, it will leave a positive impression in their minds and they may tell others about the product. Even if it's not a perfect product at first, the efforts taken by the company to improve it will convince the photographer customers that the new camera will be very good. They, in turn, will tell other photographer friends about the new product and encourage greater sales.

2016年8月20日/21日托??谡Z(yǔ)預(yù)測(cè)Task 3:
No.1
The school plans to close the gym for 2 weeks during the spring break for some minor renovations. The woman in the conversation agrees.
First, the renovations won't cause much inconvenience because few students will stay on campus during the break. Those who do stay usually focus on their study and seldom use the gym. Like when she was staying on campus to finish up a project, she went to the gym once and no one was there. Second, outdoor facilities are still available if students do want to exercise. It is quite warm and actually perfect for outdoor activities.
NO.2
閱讀:學(xué)校說(shuō)下學(xué)期開(kāi)始給新生做的campus tour就不由admin來(lái)做了,讓高年級(jí)學(xué)生自己做
,聽(tīng)力:某女很同意,理由一是admin太忙了,理由二是學(xué)生對(duì)campus有不同的看法,并且這些看法更practical.
NO.3
Passage 一個(gè)letter關(guān)于教學(xué)樓內(nèi)improvement proposal. 一是在每層樓多設(shè) power plug. 二是每層樓設(shè)打印機(jī)。
Conversation:男生同意這個(gè)建議。第一條他說(shuō)現(xiàn)在很多學(xué)生都有l(wèi)aptop. 舉了個(gè)自己的例子,說(shuō)他帶laptop 去上課,但沒(méi)電了,他找不到power plug, 跑了很遠(yuǎn)充電。第二條是學(xué)生有可能在課間完成assignment, 需要打印。
NO.4
jazz band 要在 afternoon 在校園的 lawn 開(kāi) concert ,woman 不滿意 因?yàn)?1. 學(xué)生要學(xué)習(xí), 會(huì)打擾,evening 更好 2. 很多人聚堆會(huì)踏壞草坪
The jazz band is going to hold free concerts on the lawn on campus in the afternoon.
The woman disagrees with it.
Reason 1: Students study in the afternoon, so concerts will disturb them. It's better to have concerts in the evening.
Reason 2: Too many people standing on the lawn will destroy it.
NO.5
學(xué)校要建個(gè)休息室給不住學(xué)校的學(xué)生用,可以放書,有l(wèi)ocker,放一些bus schedule。男生不同意一:住學(xué)校的同學(xué)也需要,因?yàn)樗奚岷苓h(yuǎn)。圖書館已經(jīng)有l(wèi)ocker,不需要再建。二:沒(méi)必要專門為放bus schedule建休息室,網(wǎng)上電話都可以查。
NO.6
報(bào)紙出通知:新生統(tǒng)一住校,原因有二:一是向?qū)W生提供建立學(xué)習(xí)小組的機(jī)會(huì);二是緩解校園停車場(chǎng)的壓力。
女的不同意:一,.她拿自己舉例,根本沒(méi)有因?yàn)樽⌒6W(xué)習(xí)小組;二,新生住校非但不能緩解停車場(chǎng)的壓力,反而會(huì)因?yàn)楦嗟膶W(xué)生住校帶來(lái)更多的長(zhǎng)時(shí)間霸占車位的現(xiàn)象而造成車位短缺加劇。
NO.7
Reading:
Suggestion: University should allow freshmen to part their cars on campus.
Reason 1: it's easier for them to find a job
Reason 2: they can drive home at weekends
Listening:
The woman disagrees.
Reason 1: freshmen are super busy with their study, it's unnecessary for them to find a job
Reason 2: driving home at weekends will only make them more homesick and make it harder for them to settle in the new environment
NO.8
說(shuō)2種survey
estimation survey(好像是這個(gè)詞)就是估算了,舉例:公司調(diào)查停車位,只要大概了解多少員工就可
B.精確survey(原詞忘記了),舉例:學(xué)校調(diào)查有多少老師教science,就需要精確數(shù)字
2016年8月20日/21日托福口語(yǔ)預(yù)測(cè)NO.9
The letter proposes the school should open classes outside the classroom because good scenery will make the students focus and avoid boredom and the school has installed some benches and seats outside.
The student disagrees with the proposal.
First, there are too many distractions outside. Students will be distracted when friends are passing through.
Second, there aren't enough seats available, it's inconvenient for students to take notes if they have to stand there.

閱讀:停止爵士合唱團(tuán),因?yàn)楦信d趣的人少,沒(méi)有必要繼續(xù)了
聽(tīng)力:女人覺(jué)得真不好。
理由一:主要是因?yàn)槠綍r(shí)訓(xùn)得太勤了,導(dǎo)致很多學(xué)生不來(lái)了
理由二:沒(méi)有其他選擇了,很多是經(jīng)典,但不是爵士,女人不喜歡,其他學(xué)生也不喜歡。

口語(yǔ)三:學(xué)校報(bào)社計(jì)劃推出一個(gè)pro-peering?project,即,在學(xué)生提交Paper前,報(bào)社人員幫助同學(xué)修改,有利于balabala
女生覺(jué)得 不好, 1)報(bào)社人員也是學(xué)生,不一定給出什么好建議。
2)即使好建議, 也不利于學(xué)生的長(zhǎng)遠(yuǎn)發(fā)展, 還是培養(yǎng)獨(dú)立意識(shí)比較好。

閱讀:【公開(kāi)信】:小報(bào)上刊登了來(lái)自一個(gè)學(xué)生的公開(kāi)信. 倡議大學(xué)應(yīng)該to build an electronic board (電子告示板)at student center.
好處: 1. make student get information about coming up events easily rather than acquiring news at different places on campus by posters.
(之前使用貼在校園各處的海報(bào)不一定能讓所有人看見(jiàn),而這個(gè)電子告示板在固定的位置,學(xué)校的人來(lái)來(lái)往往能看見(jiàn),信息覆蓋面很大)
2. 學(xué)校也會(huì)更整潔,因?yàn)閴ι蠜](méi)海報(bào)了
聽(tīng)力:【學(xué)生議論】:男學(xué)生覺(jué)得這主意interesting, 女生反對(duì)這個(gè)計(jì)劃.
理由:
It is better to get news from different locations on campus because
1. they are everywhere (more than one place). If they do not go to student center, they will miss the notice. 舉了她在圖書館看到海報(bào),所以didn't miss a show / concert的例子.
電子告示板不一定能夠像預(yù)想的那樣,讓那么多人獲取信息,因?yàn)楹芏嗳瞬辉敢饣〞r(shí)間特意經(jīng)過(guò)電子告示板來(lái)看有什么新的消息。舉例:她自己上周五去了圖書館看到海報(bào),所以didn't miss a show / concert,如果沒(méi)有去過(guò)就看不到了,所以一個(gè)信息不能只在一個(gè)地方發(fā)布。
2. Even though the new bulletin board was estabilished, students will still do posters because of it is convenient (沒(méi)有人會(huì)提交information, 然后再等它post出來(lái))
question:explain the woman's opinion towards the suggestion and why she holds that opinion.

S3閱讀:是說(shuō)學(xué)校決定把每個(gè)班級(jí)的人數(shù)從8人增加到15人。原因是有更多的學(xué)生apply這些課程,但是學(xué)校的faculty有限。
聽(tīng)力;男同學(xué)的意見(jiàn):
1、增加人數(shù)減少了communication with faculty,降低了小課堂的參與程度
2、既然有更多的學(xué)生,就可以獲得更多的錢,就可以請(qǐng)更多的faculty解決了人力不足的問(wèn)題。簡(jiǎn)言之就是 more students, more money, more faculty
問(wèn)題是:學(xué)校作出了怎樣的決定,男同學(xué)的意見(jiàn)是什么?
4
大學(xué)要建藝術(shù)教學(xué)樓,女生同意,因?yàn)樾聵菍挸髁?,有助于?chuàng)作;對(duì)教授的聲譽(yù)又有好處,因?yàn)樾M庖粯堑男藿?,?dǎo)致人們紛紛去那個(gè)樓去學(xué)藝術(shù)。

Reading: Only qualified students have the right to work at the computer center. There are 3 reasons for this, but they are irrelevant to the speaking part.
Listening:
Man: I don't think it works.
Reason:
1)There should be a minimum grade requirement. How do you decide if a student is qualified enough? The university should offer a computer repair course. (這個(gè)地方我不是很確定)
2)Even when prospective students' pass the minimum grade requirement, they should only be allowed to handle situations that aren't overly complicated.
6
Reading Part:
Nowadays, college newspaper hires students from different majors to write for them articles. In the future, they should only hire journalism students to write. This way they can deal with students who are actually interested in news and have more articles completed.
Listening part: Disagree
1) Students in other majors may also be interested in writing news pieces, so the school should encourage those students to write for college newspaper as well. Take this history major for example. He wants to enter the news industry in the future.
2) Having more articles isn't important. There is no point in having too many articles coming in, because the newspaper may not have the resources and time to deal with editing so much writing. The process of preparing an article is complicated, as it includes the efforts of both the editors and the writers. There is a lot of back and forth between those who write and those who review and edit.

Task 3
【學(xué)生寫信】:
學(xué)生寫信建議學(xué)校的劇院演出應(yīng)該向所有人免費(fèi)開(kāi)放。
好處1:當(dāng)?shù)鼐用衲軌虻玫絝ree entrainment;
好處2:觀眾多了演員會(huì)演的更有熱情。
【學(xué)生態(tài)度】:男生贊成此建議。
理由1:nearby沒(méi)有什么theater, 來(lái)回的交通費(fèi)加上演出費(fèi)很貴。開(kāi)放學(xué)校劇院能讓當(dāng)?shù)鼐用癫挥门芎苓h(yuǎn)就能欣賞到professional的演出;
理由2:男生自己作為一個(gè)actor, 覺(jué)得觀眾多可以給他鼓勵(lì)。舉例說(shuō)當(dāng)表演一段幽默戲的時(shí)候,底下只坐了一半人,沒(méi)什么人笑,會(huì)影響表演質(zhì)量。相反,要是人多,反響熱烈,表演也更有勁了。

閱讀:一個(gè)學(xué)生給的提議,說(shuō)學(xué)校地上垃圾多,張貼畫也臟,多。提議學(xué)生組成volunteer,分組拾垃圾。
聽(tīng)力中兩個(gè)學(xué)生討論,一個(gè)女生就不同意,她說(shuō):臟要看情況,我們學(xué)校這么大,人這么多。剛掃干凈,又會(huì)有垃圾,張貼畫,你撕了人家再貼,也是一樣的,而且學(xué)生到學(xué)校是學(xué)習(xí)的,不是做志愿者的。真要干凈校園,學(xué)校要雇人,花錢叫專人來(lái)干。
2016年8月20日/21日托??谡Z(yǔ)預(yù)測(cè)Task 4:
No.1
Recruitment: Insects release signals to inform other insects to come and cooperate. For example, there is a type of ant called the fire ant that live in nests in South America. Some ants have a special job which is to leave the nests to find food. When one ant finds a piece of fruit too big for it to carry back, it will walk back to recruit more ants while releasing a chemical that forms a trail on the way. When it arrives, other ants can then follow the trail and find the fruit and then carry it back together.
NO.2
Definition: Environment impact assessment, ""The purpose of the assessment is to ensure that decision makers consider the environmental impacts when deciding whether or not to proceed with a project."
Example: The professor gives an example of a construction company. The company was going to build a shopping center on a large land. Before the construction, they did a study and found the land was wetland. Their original plan was to fill solid soil into this land. But the environment impact assessment said that the wetland was very important for the environment. It could prevent flooding because it could hold water. So they decided not to fill the land and cancel this plan. Alternatively, they moved to another piece of land.

Anticipated emotion: Before doing something, people will anticipate the kind of emotion they might have after doing it, and therefore decide whether they will do it or not based on the emotion.
Example: The professor went to buy his sister a birthday present, but saw a jacket he really wanted. If he bought the jacket, he would have to buy a cheaper present for his sister. Then thought about how he would feel if he had bought the jacket and thought he would feel guilty, so he decided not to buy the jacket.

Listening material:廣告商經(jīng)常采取的營(yíng)銷策略,就是品牌歸屬感訴求。舉某種蘇打水Suda為例。
要么是一群男女,燈紅酒綠,都喝同一種品牌的Suda水,這意味著,喝這種品牌,就能享受共同的happy;
要么是一個(gè)人boy在酒吧里,燈紅酒綠,他開(kāi)了一瓶Suda,但很不幸是錯(cuò)的品牌brand,突然間全場(chǎng)安靜,朋友moving away,就是因?yàn)樗_(kāi)了錯(cuò)的Suda,就被群體孤立。

There's a kind of small ants(文中始終未給出該螞蟻名稱), when they first arrive a new habitat, say an "askentia(音) tree", their unique habit is to eat part of the tree which produces nectar, because they don't rely on it. They are altering the environment before any other species come.
There is a kind of bigger ants, they're more aggressive and can easily occupy the trees as they want, and can force the smaller ants to leave. However, they rely on the nectar produced by "askentia" tree very much. So the smaller ants stop the tree producing nectar to avoid the bigger ants to take up the tree, so that they can stay living there.
How does the example in the listening part explain the concept of priority effects?

就是說(shuō)通過(guò)聯(lián)系不好的情況來(lái)resist壞東西,幫人解決壞習(xí)慣。即 make negative associations with the thing, 這樣就可以讓這個(gè)東西變得less appealing and more resistible。教授用一個(gè)自己的例子解釋。

Possible Solutions:
1) Attend the study group:
- Can't change the time since other students aren't free at other times.

- Can read the article and listen to the recording on the presentation afterwards.
2) Go to the Presentation:
- He is passionate about writing and really wants to go.

1. The professor talks about why solidarity develops in different societies.
One reason is that all society members do the same kind of job. For example, people in rural areas are mainly farmers who deal with basic work and so they share similar lives. Solidarity develops in this society because the same job creates a sense of unity.
The other reason is because of different divisions of job. For instance, people in town have different tasks like doctors and stuff, and they are interdependent. Solidarity develops in this kind of society because people depend on each other.

Waiting Time
很多成功營(yíng)銷的秘訣就是waiting time.但對(duì)商業(yè)行為而言,關(guān)鍵并不是實(shí)際等待的時(shí)間,而是感知等待時(shí)間conceived waiting time,就是the time that consumers think they are waiting.
商家一般通過(guò)兩種策略來(lái)cut conceived waiting time。
(1),讓顧客有事可做:Let the consumers have something to do.給了兩個(gè)例子,一是在醫(yī)院休息室的doctor's waiting room,放一電視TV,大家看電視,不知不覺(jué)時(shí)間就過(guò)去了;二是在電梯口elevator,放一鏡子mirror,大家對(duì)著鏡子臭美一下,時(shí)間就過(guò)去了,就cannot conceived the waiting time了。
(2),告訴顧客他們實(shí)際上等待了多久tell them the real waiting time。很多人就是自己覺(jué)得等得長(zhǎng),他等了十分鐘覺(jué)得已經(jīng)等了二十分鐘了,于是就著急。這第二種策略常見(jiàn)的就是火車站,大喇叭里不停的告訴你,還有多長(zhǎng)時(shí)間,通過(guò)這種tell you the truth 的方式,來(lái)reduce conceived waiting time.

The professor talks about two types of suspense in a movie.
The first type is that the audience feels interesting to guess the end. For example, two heroes set the same goal, but the audiences have no idea who comes first.
The second type is that the audiences know the end but they have no clue how to get to the end. For example, in a love story, the hero and heroine doom to meet in the end, but how they meet each other becomes intriguing.

Lecture: Small Business: drawbacks on home-based business
For many small businesses, instead of renting, they prefer to work from home. Though working from home has its merits, a home-based business has some drawbacks.
1) Can't Maintain a Professional Image
People working in home-based businesses don't set a clear boundary between business and personal life. The customers may think they are not professional and serious about the business. For example, if a home-based business is a catering service that provides food for some major event, a customer would call and not expect a baby crying in the background. However, if it happened, the customer will for sure think that the business is not professional enough for their event and not trust the ability of the caterer to provide good-quality food.
2) Will Affect the Lives of the Neighbors
Use the catering example again, the business may hire two or more workers to help with the preparation of food. These workers may need to park their cars on the street, which would take up the neighbors' parking spots. Having their spots taken, the neighbors would definitely complain.
Question: Describe the two drawbacks of home-based businesses.

Wetland's two benefits for animals.
1). for nursery, sharks lay eggs in wetlands close to the ocean, because wetlands are shallow, there are not large predators, baby sharks can grow safely in the wetlands and survive in the ocean.

2). for rest and find food. Immigrating birds, for example, paper, during the long journey of immigration, stop the wetlands to find the food because they can find similar food like before.

Lecture: Two Advantages of the Beta Testing Method in Business
A beta test is an opportunity that gives the intended audience some samples to try the product out first.
1) Get feedback from the customers
The producer can get feedback from the customers who try the product. They will know which aspects of the product the customers like and don't like. A camera company, for example, may give some professional photographers new sample cameras to test out. After testing, the photographers may report, for example, that the flash doesn't work well because it produces too much light. The company will then know they need to work on the flash to make the overall product more desirable.
2) Providing Free Advertising
If the tested audience thinks the new product is satisfactory, it will leave a positive impression in their minds and they may tell others about the product. Even if it's not a perfect product at first, the efforts taken by the company to improve it will convince the photographer customers that the new camera will be very good. They, in turn, will tell other photographer friends about the new product and encourage greater sales.
