2015年1月托福真题回忆及解析 【导语】人生就像一杯没有加糖的咖啡,喝起来是苦涩的,回味起来却有久久不会退去的 余香。没有人陪你走一辈子,所以你要适应孤独,没有人会帮你一辈子,所以你要奋斗一 生。与其用泪水悔恨昨天,不如用汗水拼搏今天。当眼泪流尽的时候,留下的应该是坚强。 不求与人相比,但求超越自己!以下是无忧考网为大家搜集整理的2015年1月托福部分真 题,希望可以帮到你!2015年1月托福共举行了四场考试分别是1月10日、1月11日、1 月25日、1月31日。 1月10日托福独立口语真题回忆: Task 1: Talk about a kind of music you enjoy the least, explain why you don, t like it. Sample The kind of music I don^ t listen to that much is Classical music. I think they are super boring. They^ re usually very slow and long. Some pieces last for more than half an hour. I don, t even know what they’ re about! And when they do get faster and louder, they sound even angrier than Death Metal. Second, there’ s no lyrics. When I listen to a song, not only I enjoy the melody, but I also want to listen to the words. Song writers 1 ike Bob Dylan wrote beautiful lyrics, that you can say they ’ re like poems on their own. Task 2: Do you think universities in the future will on day stop giving lessons in classrooms, they might give online courses instead. Sample I think universities will continue giving lessons in class rather than online in the future. Online courses have their limitations. I had one Biography professor who once brought a life frog in class. He even let the frog jump around the classroom, and showed us how long its legs were, and how they were used for jumping. We had such a good time learning because the class was exciting and engaging. How do you do such things online? I tried taking online courses before. They? re ok, but I found it extremely difficult to keep myself focused for too long. 写作范文赏析 【独立写作】 Do you agree or disagree with the statement: University students should be required to take basic science classes even if they are not part of the field of the study. University courses lay a very solid academic foundation for the future development of college students. Facing the great selections of these courses, some people say that, basic science should be made compulsory for college students, for the reason that they could be more familiar with the advancement and evolution of human society. I disagree. I believe, despite minor merits, asking student of all majors to attend basic science classes would cause problems. To begin with, science courses would put more academic pressure on students. College students have already had to study many theory and professional subjects related to their majors and their schedule is very tight. For example, a medical student is not only obliged to finish his professional papers for credit, but he also needs to find the opportunity to get clinical experience. His load is so heavy that he could not afford to take any irrelevant courses, such as basic science. In this case, schools should not add this course, because students would worry whether they could finish their homework on time and how they would pass final examinations. Furthermore, a required science course would lead to unnecessary cost for parents and students. To guarantee the quality of lecturing, colleges have to hire talented and senior science professors and experts, such as those from the best-known universities or scientific research institutes. This would increase the cost of schooling. Normally, a lecture given by a famous science professor costs over 1,000 dollars. These costs would be reflected in the tuition fee, and would deprive many underprivileged students of an opportunity for education. Admittedly, taking basic science courses does have its merits. As a subject aiming to explain how the universe exits, basic science broaden student' s range of knowledge and enhance their analytical skills. Students could gain a deep understanding about the world they live in. Lots of methods to solve problems will be gained through basic science. However, this knowledge could be acquired by other method other than required courses. TV documentaries and books are all available options for student to learn basic science. In conclusion, although there are some small benefits to requiring basic science courses, making every college student attend such classes would overburden the students both academically and financially. 2015年1月10日托福真题回忆: .autonomy = independence n.独立、自主 adaptation n.适应性 additional adj.额外的、附加的 autonomy = independence n.独立、自主 besides adv.此外、而且 constitution n.宪法、章程 constituent = component n.成分 coupled with 与……结合 deficiencies n.缺点、不足 diffuse = spread V.扩散 disperse = scatter V.驱散、扩散 emerging adj.新型的 gradual adj.逐渐的 predominate V.占主导地位 preoccupation n 全神贯注 第一篇: Desease 的三个历史阶段,第一个 infectious 阶段,在这之前很少传染病,因为 人民 居住分散接触不 够(有题),但农业的发展大大增加了 epidemics,包括土 壤里的生物、储存的食物等 壤里的生物、储存的食物等 因素(有否定题, 应该是选 rotted 那个),第二阶段 是慢性病,医疗发展基本杜绝传 染病,但现代人的生活让慢性病比 如心脏病肺结 核等更普遍(有题),第三阶段是现在,抗药性的细菌(有题)和慢性病 一起来 解析:本文属于生物类与历史类文章的跨学科题材,涉及到少有的医学相关内容。 从 机经回忆来看, 属于流程发展结构,学员在理解时需要重点关注不同发展时期 的不 的不 同特征。因为医学类文章专业词汇过多,而且 TP0 也很少遇到相似题材, 在理解 时,学员需要克服过多生词和背景知识陌生带来的焦虑和内耗,重点关注 事情和特 征的对应。 参考阅读: In 1962 Sir McFarland Burnett stated, 'By the end of the Second World War it was possible to say that almost all of the major practical problems of dealing with infectious disease had been solved.' At that time, his statement was logical. Control and prevention measures had decreased the incidence of many infectious diseases, and with the ability to continue to identify new antibiotics, to handle new problems, and the ongoing development of appropriate vaccines, his statement appeared to be appropriate. In the US, similar feelings were expressed and funding for infectious disease fellowships began to decline with federal resources being directed elsewhere. The history of the world is intertwined with the impact that infectious diseases have had on populations. Evidence of smallpox has been found in 3000-year-old Egyptian mummies. Egyptian papyrus paintings depict infectious diseases such as poliomyelitis. Hippocrates wrote about the spread of disease by means of airs, water, and places, and made an association between climate, diet, and living conditions. Investigators described miasmas as the source of infections. Fracastoro discussed the germ theory in the 1500s and three routes of contagion were proposed—direct contact, fomites, and contagion from a distance (airborne). Epidemics of leprosy, plague, syphilis, smallpox, cholera, yellow fever, typhoid fever, and other infectious diseases were the norm.

Oxygen was first produced by photo synthetic prokaryotic organisms that emitted 02 as a waste product. These organisms lived long before the first build-up of oxygen in the atmosphere, perhaps as early as 3.5 billion years ago. The oxygen they produced would have almost instantly been removed from the atmosphere by weathering of reduced minerals, most notably iron. This 'mass rusting' led to the deposition of banded iron formations. Oxygen only began to persist in the atmosphere in small quantities about 50 million years before the start of the Great Oxygenation Event This mass oxygenation of the atmosphere resulted in rapid buildup of free oxygen. At current atmospheric rates, today's concentration of oxygen could be produced by photosynthesisers in 2,000 years. Of course, in the absence of plants, photosynthesis was slower in the Precambrian, and the levels of 02 attained were modest (<10% of today's) and probably fluctuated greatly; oxygen may even have disappeared from the atmosphere again around 1,900 million years ago These fluctuations in oxygen had little direct effect on life, with mass extinctions not observed until the appearance of complex life around the start of the Cambrian period, 541 million years ago. The presence of 02 provided life with new opportunities. Aerobic metabolism is more efficient than anaerobic pathways, and the presence of oxygen undoubtedly created new possibilities for life to explore. Since the start of the Cambrian period, atmospheric oxygen concentrations have fluctuated between 15% and a maximum of 35% of atmospheric volume towards the end of the Carboniferous period (about 300 million years ago), a peak which may have contributed to the large size of insects and amphibians at that time. Whilst human activities, such as the burning of fossil fuels, have an impact on relative carbon dioxide concentrations, their impact on the much larger concentration of oxygen is less significant. 第二篇: 16 世纪后 r 开头的一个词削弱了 artisans 的繁荣发展(此处有同义句题),一些 技术的发展使得成本上升,手工艺人无法承担(此处有题),原料的买卖大权掌 握在 握在 big merchant 手中(有题),穷 手工艺人只能依靠便宜的 local materials ( 有 推 断题),很多独立的 producers 沦为 big merchant 的 employee,同时,他们 又担心 又担心 rural areas 的发展,因为那里成本消费更低,更 好招人(有题+总 结题)结题) 解析:本文属于历史类文章,关注的是手工艺者与新兴技术的关系,在 TPO 中 有 许多有关工业化的 文章,所以背景知识学员不陌生。从机经回忆来看,属于因 果型 文章,在理解时学员需要重点把握削弱手工艺人发展的原因,以及与其相关 的因果 关系。 参考阅读: Before 1815 manufacturing in the United States had been done in homes or shops by skilled artisans. As master craft workers, they imparted the knowledge of their trades to apprentices and journeymen. In addition, women often worked in their homes part-time, making finished articles from raw material supplied by merchant capitalists. After 1815 this older form of manufacturing began to give way to factories with machinery tended by unskilled or semiskilled laborers. Cheap transportation networks, the rise of cities, and the availability of capita! and credit all stimulated the shift to factory production. The creation of a labor force that was accustomed to working in factories did not occur easily. Before the rise of the factory, artisans had worked within the home. Apprentices were considered part of the family, and masters were responsible not only for teaching their apprentices a trade but also for providing them some education and for supervising their moral behavior. Journeymen knew that if they perfected their skill, they could become respected master artisans with their own shops. Also, skilled artisans did not work by the clock, at a steady pace, but rather in bursts of intense labor alternating with more leisurely time. The factory changed that. Goods produced by factories were not as finished or elegant as those done by hand, and pride in craftsmanship gave way to the pressure to increase rates of productivity. The new methods of doing business involved a new and stricter sense of time. Factory life necessitated a more regimented schedule, where work began at the sound of a bell and workers kept machines going at a constant pace. At the same time, workers were required to discard old habits, for industrialism demanded a worker who was alert, dependable, and self-disciplined. Absenteeism and lateness hurt productivity and, since work was specialized, disrupted the regular factory routine. Industrialization not only produced a fundamental change in the way work was organized; it transformed the very nature of work. The first generation to experience these changes did not adopt the new attitudes easily. The factory clock became the symbol of the new work rules. One mill worker who finally quit complained revealingly about "obedience to the ding-dong of the bell-just as though we are so many living machines." With the loss of personal freedom also came the loss of standing in the community. Unlike artisan workshops in which apprentices worked closely with the masters supervising them, factories sharply separated workers from management. Few workers rose through the ranks to supervisory positions, and even fewer could achieve the artisan's dream of setting up one's own business. Even well-paid workers sensed their decline in status. In this newly emerging economic order, workers sometimes organized to protect their rights and traditional ways of life. Craft workers such as carpenters, printers, and tailors formed unions, and in 1834 individual unions came together in the National Trades' Union. The labor movement gathered some momentum in the decade before the Panic of 1837, but in the depression that followed, labor's strength collapsed. During hard times, few workers were willing to strike* or engage in collective action.
