Question 31-33
Listen to a conversation between two friends
W: Hey, Marsha, how is your study of DNA coming?
Slow, but sure. I know the definition, it carries the blueprint for human life, but I got a lot more to learn. You are working one DNA too, right?
Yes, I have been studying the amount of DNA in fish and frogs. Did you know that some frogs have twice as much DNA as human being. And are you ready for this, the African long fish has forty two times as much.
No, I didn’t. my research has been focus mostly on human beings. Forty two times more than humans? Why do long fish have so much more DNA than we do. Does it help them to produce more offspring?
No, probably not, but I can’t really tell you for sure yet. W e are still just collecting data. Does not it seem strange that the amount of DNA in a relatively simple organism like fish is greater than that of more complex organism such as human being.
It doesn’t seem art. But come to think of it in higher organism only a tiny percent of DNA less than 5 percent it’s necessary to carry the instructions for producing life, that means as lot of seeming extra DNA in humans as much as ninety five percent your long fish has excess amount as well.
It is very likely, but the question is why. I saw one theory that says that some extra DNA makes selfishly reproducing increasing in number, totally in different to the need of organism that contain it.
You say section of DNA molecule might like parasites that live off the organism without contributing anything to it right? I heard about that theory too, but it is pretty controversial.
Not for long I hope. What’s remains me. I better get back to my fish. I should be at the lab an hour ago.

about thirty. I know second place sounds ok, that is three years in we has been second, and it is the same group that beat us in three years in
That’s too bad, but what about the beach. I spend a lot of time studying in the library. I would love to at the beach swimming in the oceans and playing beach volleyball instead being stuck in the library, studying.
Well, it wasn’t exactly like that. I had spend some time studying too. We really didn’t have much free time. We were scheduled almost the whole time. Practicing, performing, watching the competition.
So you were that busy.
But you know the oceans water still cold. So I don’t think we really miss too much.
Well, maybe you guy should plan to go back when the semester is oven.
Yet. That’s exactly what we have in mind. It should be a lot more fun there when the weather warms up and we don’t have to think about competing.
34. What are the students mainly discussing?
35. Why does the woman say about the winners of the competition?
36. how did the man spend his weekend?

we have spend last few weeks on the development of serious theater in US looking at the plays and playwrights in the early 1900. our next is on the American musical theater this type of theater developed from both serious and popular art forms, dance, drama, and from four entertainment called which is where we will stare today. Shows originated in Europe and by the 1800 had become a popular form of entertainment in American. They were basically shows featuring several live entertainers, singers, dancer, comediennes, ,trained animals, and as many as entertain more actors they were largely on related in seem or style. By the early 1800, *had respond up in all large American cities. In the large theaters ever usually two performances a day. Some theaters would come to have as many as four performances a day. But with the introduction of silent films, live performances had to compete with movie theaters. And attendance started to decline. So some theatres started showing movies as well. The movies will be shown in between the *. And that caught people come to for a while, but when talking films are arrived, faced even stiff competition. And then with the great depression of 1930, when American has letter income to spend on entertainment and the grows of radio and latter on television * experienced further decline, pretty much disappeared entirely by the end of the second world war.
39. What does the professor mainly discuss?
40. according to the professor what was the characteristics of *shows??
41. according to the professor why were films shown in between * acts?
42. What happened to the * entertainment during the great depression of 1930?
Question 42-46
we have been discussing some factor that influence the global climate. Today we will go to talk about factor that you might find surprising. Surprising because it’s so small that you probably wouldn’t expect to be important. That factor is dust by dust we mean not just tiny pieces of dirt, but any small particles like *, salt, bacteria or fungal spots. There are several different methods to collect date on dust. One method is flying in the storm with air creff equipped with dust collection devices. We can then analyze the dust samples to find out what types of dust present at given time of a year, or a certain location and height in atmosphere. Why would you want to map out how the types of amount of dust vary under different circumstances? Because different types of dust behave differently and affect the whether in different ways., Some types of dust have rain to form. However other types of dust prevent rain. Although some factors of dust on the climate now understood, there is some debate about the overall affective dust on temperature. For example we know the dust can cool our planet by blocking sunlight from reaching the ground. On the other hand, it can absorb some sunlight warming the atmosphere. This warming affect may have caused the ice age just to end. Hopefully more research will answer the question of just how dust affects the planet temperature.
43. What is the lecture mainly about?
44. according to the professor why do researchers collects samples of dust?
45. why does the professor discuss rainfall?
46. What is one question about temperature that scientists are debating?
Question 47-50
now many people living near the mediterranean sea in ancient times had extensive shipping networks. Two of the most prominent were the MO and MY. The Mo lived on an island of quit. They did extensive trade by sea. Trading form products and highly prices brown objects they made, things like weapons and tools. They established the trading network or trading colonies through out the east MY. And this became great commercial centers. These commercial centers produced really wealthy for them. And mo used this wealth to build great powers and aqueducts, and improve their harbor on quit. The mo civilization reached its peak in the 1600 BC. But they gradually lose their dominant position to the MY, who were from the mainland of Grace where Mo was created. The My actually learned a lot about sea trade and commence from the MO. But this mental relationship changed after a volcano erupted on the island of philla in 1450 BC. Because * was so close to create, the volcanoes apparently caused earthquake that ships and destroyed important parts of quit. After that the MY became the dominant seatrade in the area. Now we knew that natural disaster might be largely responsible for the decline of MO seatrade. But reasons for the decline of MY seatrade are more controversial. The key factor may have been political unrest both intently among the MY and in countries they traded with, which disrupted trade networks.
47. What does the professor mainly discuss?
48. what does the professor say about the large commercial centers though out the MO.?
49. What does the professor say about volcanoes eruption on the island of philla?
50. According to the professor, what might cause the decline of MY seatrades?

托福听力如何去听文章结构
对话结构
对话部分,常见的文章结构模式为,出现一个问题。
比如说图书馆里要借书但是找不到,比如说学期论文要找个主题找不到,比如说要去报告一下宿舍的空调需要维修等。
那么接下来肯定会提出解决问题的方案,但是前提是对话的时长通常为3分钟左右,所以老师或者教职员工肯定不会很直接地就把这个问题给解决了。
试想,图书管理员把书找给了学生,那么这个对话接下来的故事情节只能是Thank you, bye了。
所以,总结起来,对话的文章结构一般分成四个步骤:
1. problem, 即学生出现一个问题;
2. solutions, 老师提出一些问题的解决方案,通常这部分的内容会出现好几个解决方案;
3. result, 问题的处理结果;
4. development, 跟话题本身相关的内容扩展延伸。
讲座结构:平级并列类
顾名思义,这种结构通常是很明显的,也是相对来说最简单的一种,不管考生听力能力好坏,或多或少都是能把握的。
比如TPO 41 Lecture 1, 这是一篇botany的讲座文章,主题是在讲Different ways that plants have adapted to desert environments.
主旨以外全篇文章分成了三段话,分别讲了三种植物——succulent plant、drought-tolerant plant、annual plant这三段话。
原文是这样说的:
Many different species have developed each of the adaptations. So, first off, there are succulent plants…now, besides succulent plants, there’re also drought-tolerant plants…the third adaptive strategy is to avoid the drought conditions altogether. Yes! There are plants that do this: annual plants!
2. What are two features of succulent plants that help them survive in deserts?
3. Why does the professor mention bears?
4. What is one ability that drought-tolerant plants have that succulent plants do not have?
5. Why can annual plants grow in a desert even after a year of no rainfall?
以上是这篇文章所对应的题目,从出题的角度来讲,这篇平级并列就是考到了文章中讲到的三种植物succulent plant、drought-tolerant plant、annual plant,每个段落考一种。
值得注意的是,平级并列结构可能会出现一些比较的考点,在备考过程中值得我们去注意,比如其中的第四题就是如此。
讲座结构:举例类
举例是常见且常被用的一种文章构思方法。
就举例类文章而言,托福听力中类似文章结构的听力文本实在是非常的多,甚至在结构题中还出现过考题。
比如在TPO 26 Lecture 1 advertising class中,文章交代好背景以后,就开始例子的讲解了。
The seeds for green marketing were probably planted in 1970, when the first Earth Day took place. Rallies all over the United States were organized to protest environmental degradation. Some 20 million demonstrators participated in that first Earth Day. And it helped spark dozens of environmental laws… A few years later, we began seeing ads tapping into people’s environmental concerns. But some green marketers learned the hard way, green marketing must still involve all the same principles of a traditional marketing campaign. You ad must attract attention, stimulate consumers’ interest, create a desire for your product, and motivate people to take action to buy your product. So let me tell you about one green marketing campaign that failed at first and explain why. It was a compact fluorescent light bulb.
而后整篇文章都在讲关于这个bulb的营销是如何失败的,而且也考到了结构题。
7. How does the professor organize the lecture?
A. She gives some historical background, then she presents a case study.
B. She describes several environmental friendly products, and then she explains how the public responded to them.
C. She describes a problem, and then she proposes several possible solutions.
D. She describes an approach to advertising, and then she explains why it is often ineffective.
这道题目就是举例结构文章的典型,答案应该是A选项,在交代了historical background以后就开始说case study了。
这种举例类的文章还有一个需要注意的点。
通常举例类的文章结构下,例子本身的内容叙述篇幅是很长的,部分情况下可能对于主旨题的概括有一定的影响,因为很多考生在备考过程中好像听到的内容时长覆盖比较长。
比如TPO 42 Lecture 1 art history的文章中就是如此,文章前半部分讲的是sculpture的各种内容,后半部分在讲一个例子,Augustus这个雕像塑像的实例。
而在主旨题的考察中A选项To explain why a particular statue of a Roman emperor is so famous.这个选项中的Roman emperor就是Augustus这个例子本身,所以不可能作为主旨题的答案。
讲座结构:顺序类
顺序类文章结构是比较多的,按照文章的时间顺序或者发展顺序在讲文章的内容,一般文章内容不会带有重复现象,是比较清晰的那种一段一段的内容。
比如TPO 26 Lecture 2, 文章先讲主题The role trace metals play in carbon cycling,然后再讲了respiration呼吸作用以及photosynthesis光合作用,接着讲的是diatom藻类,再讲cadmium镉。算是环环相扣,一段接一段。
讲座结构:对比类
对比类文章结构在托福听力所有的文章类型中是比较少的。最典型的是TPO 5 Lecture 4,主旨是Differences between fairy tale and folktale。
全文就讲了三个点:1. folk tale是什么;2. fairy tale是什么;3. folk tale和fairy tale的共同点和不同点。
这种文章结构也是很好理解的,但是这种文章结构的细节点会比较多。
讲座结构:过程类
过程类文章结构是几种文章结构中最难的了,通常可能出现在地质学geology、environmental science或者art history中。
这种文章多体现为,在文章内容表述过程中会出现某些内容的重复,使得考生在听力过程中觉得一直在讲某样东西,但是好像又不是很理解。
比如在TPO 9 Lecture 2 environmental science文章中讲到了一个词permafrost, 而这个词在很多段落中都出现了。
The tundra has two layers: top layer, which is called the active layer, is frozen in the winter and spring, but thaws in the summer. Beneath this active layer is the second layer called "permafrost", which is frozen all year around, and is impermeable to water. (0: 49-0:55) and their roots don't grow very deep, so the permafrost doesn't interfere with their growth. (1:13-1:18) they live in the active layer, which, remember, contains water that doesn't penetrate the permafrost. (2:39-2:45)
选项中也是
第一题B. How temperature increases might be affecting the permafrost in Arctic Alaska.
第二题A. They have roots that can penetrate permafrost.
第三题C. Increases in average winter temperatures have permafrost permeable to water.
第四题C. Most nutrients remain frozen in the permafrost when spring runoff is at its peak.
这四道题目的选项都有permafrost这个词,所以我们听得时候就会抓不住重点,但是又非常明确知道自己的确听到过,选项又极具迷惑性。
请问有没有旧托福听力93篇的mp3和文本?
老托福听力93篇完整版内容:
1、Community service is an important component of education here at our university. We encourage all students to volunteer for at least one community activity before they graduate. A new community program called "One On One" helps elementary students who've fallen behind. You education majors might be especially interested in it because it offers the opportunity to do some teaching—that is, tutoring in math and English. You'd have to volunteer two hours a week for one semester. You can choose to help a child with math, English, or both. Half-hour lessons are fine, so you could do a half hour of each subject two days a week. Professor Dodge will act as a mentor to the tutors---he'll be available to help you with lesson plans or to offer suggestions for activities. He has office hours every Tuesday and Thursday afternoon. You can sign up for the program with him and begin the tutoring next week. I'm sure you'll enjoy this community service and you'll gain valuable experience at the same time. It looks good on your resume, too, showing that you've had experience with children and that you care about your community. If you'd like to sign up, or if you have any questions, stop by Professor Dodge's office this week.
2、I hope you've all finished reading the assigned chapter on insurance so that you're prepared for our discussion today. But, before we start, I'd like to mention a few things your text doesn't go into. It's interesting to note that insurance has existed in some form for a very long time. The earliest insurance policies were what we called bottomry contracts. They provided shipping protection for merchants as far back as 3000 B.C. In general, the contracts were often no more than verbal agreements. They granted loans to merchants with the understanding that if a particular shipment of goods was lost at sea, the loan didn't have to be repaid. Interest on the loans varied according to how risky it was to。

托福听力怎么练!有什么技巧!
在听音之前快速浏览一下四个选择答案,然后再去听。这样“先看后听”,掌握主动,有以下几个好处:
1、猜测对话可能谈论的问题。
2、容易听辨出可能出现的生词或不熟悉的术语。
3、便于在听完对话或谈话后就有了更充足的时间去选择正确答案。
4、大大减轻焦虑不安的情绪, 以轻松的心境去听去选。
最好的练习听力的材料就是真题,市面上的真题基本是TPO和OG。一套题做完之后,正确的复习归纳的办法是:
1、找出错题,看原文找出自己为什么错,马虎还是听错,还是那个音自己根本就不会。不会其实也分为两种情况,一是听力问题,就是这个单词在脑中没有印象,这样自然就无法听出来,这种情况就是要反复听这个错题,几天之后再拿出来复习,直到完全记住为止。二是语意不会。
2、最好是多套真题一起总结,这是最好的发现自己听力薄弱环节的方法。其实这个同时也适用于语法题。通过多套题一起总结,人们往往会发现原来自己经常错的题常常分布在听力习题的某一部分。
