Nowadays, frequent power cut or the drain of oil supply has become a serious problem that concerns us with its damage to not only the environment, but also our efficiency in work and study. Although some people propose to raise the cost of fuel as a solution to this issue, I personally believe that it is not the best way to solve the problem of air pollution. Indeed, increasing the cost of gasoline and electricity can conserve energy to some extents. Considering the higher price of the fuel, more people would reduce their use of private cars or shut down lights and the air-conditioner when leaving home. As a result, the reduced number of cars leads to a decrease in demand to the gasoline and hence make the use of energy more efficiency. However, this solution does not solve the problem completely. Even the price of the gas goes up, most people would still choose to pay because fuels are the basic need for them to work and travel. Such necessity is not able to be replaced, and conservative problems would continue to be a problem. For example, my mom drives to work every day because there are no subway or buses between our home and her working place. Moreover, the public transportation is way too timeconsuming and less comfortable. For government, exploiting new energy sources, on the other hand, is a better alternative to energy conservation because its a stable solution that will solve the problem eternally. Cars that are powered by solar energy, for example, do not have to worry about the limited power supply, since it uses a long-lasting and powerful battery to absorb and store the energy from the sunlight and then use this energy to power the cars. According to research conducted by scientists in Japan and China, by holding the transformation rate between solar energy to electricity to 28 percent, the solar energy cars do not have to recharge itself and can keep running under the sun for 18 hours. Based on this, cars driven by solar energy would push the limits of energy to a new level. Moreover, spreading out the concept of conserving energy is another more effective way to achieve the goal. In fact, there are certain group of citizens who are concerned with extravagant energy use, and they are quite cautious in using electricity, water and oiling their cars. If the government can take measures to educate more people with the same principles, energy consumption might drop considerately. Henry’s father used to be a truck driver when he was young. He is so fond of driving truck that he even go to nearby Walmart by his Toyota Tundra. After Henry was lectured about the energy crisis in many developing countries like India, he was aware of the fact that by saving energy as much as possible himself, he was able to help a family in New Deli to use electricity constantly for a night. Furthermore, he asked his father to join him and persuaded him to change driving truck into some clean energy car, namely Prius. By doing this, they might save certain amount of gasoline that could help poor people in Northwest Tibet use heaters in winter. All in all, I believe raising the cost of the fuel is not the best way to conserve energy, since they are better alternatives such as applying new energy sources and necessary education to more people about necessity on energy crisis. 8 月 22 日托福听力真题回忆： 两篇 conversation , —篇 是服务咨询，一篇 是办公时间， 四篇 lecture 文章分别为自然科学 T 生命科学 及会科学 ，还有文学 艺术的文章，文 章题材形 式都是同学 在课上精听精做过的文章。但是目前 2015 年的托福考试趋 势：需要同学 具备很好的托福听力实力，因为其中一个 section 难度系数略高。 Conversation 1 学 生想数学 换成 biology，因为她很喜欢这个 专业，但是老师说如果要换专业它它需 要推迟两年毕业，建议她等研究生的时候再选择 biology。她问有没有什么 summer plan 可以做，并且可以转换成 本专业的学 分，然后教授就推荐了一个 纽约的 summer plan ，但是这个 plan 的老师今年走了，所以她必须推迟 —年，然 后他就要申请这个 项目，问题又来了 ，她的成 绩录入错误，所以他担心这个 会影响她 的申请，然后老师也提供了建议。 解析： 听到文章中学 生来的目的-产生问题的原因-解 决问题的方案学 生来的目的：数学 专业换成 生 物专业。 产生问题的原因：老师说如果要换专业它需要推迟两年毕业，建议她等研究生的 时 候再去选择 生物 解决问题的方案：教授推荐了一个 纽约的 summer plan ,但是这个 plan 的老 师今 年走了，所以她必须推迟—年 Lecture 1 天文学 的文章 开始说到一个 星座，后来说了一个 什么 组织，这个 组织吧一块区域分成 很多块，然 后把一个 什么 星座定义成 了 asterism (不知道拼的又寸不对） 解析： 文章难度系数略高,需要具备良好的听力实力才会拿下本篇 文章。但是此种难度的文 章都是精讲精练班里大量联系过的文章 文章中提到了 constellation 和很多关键词。 Lecture 2 讲的是动物的伪装，一种是 uniform stripped ，—种是 disruptive ,然后讲到了老虎之类的。 解析： 难度系数不高的一篇 文章，想 camouflage/disguise 这样的有关于动物伪装的单 词必须要认识，其中会有很多动物名称的出现，需要同学 们记好。 Conversation 2 一小伙子在外边要做兼职写文章，然后找了一个 老师，这个 老师说要他帮忙要 几张照片 一起 研究一个 什么 erosion 的问题，然后这个 同学 找老师帮忙，说想去 哪个 社团活动，因 为便宜。这个 小伙子因为没有交钱，不在这个 社团了。 解析： Conversation 2 难度系数不高，老师需要学 生提供帮助。TPO 中有大量此种类型 的文章，考前 都要做完 Lecture 3 讲的叫 John locke 的人第一次提到小孩子和大人是不一样的，以前 小朋 友在家里帮大 友在家里帮大 人做事， 和大人一模一样。然后那个 人说童话故事不好，因为童话 故事里坏的事都发 生在森林里，很 多人长大以后很怕黑。然后有一个 人写了 不一样的童话故事，这个 人打开了儿童书籍的 市场， 很多妈妈者都在看。 解析： 有关于心理学 的一片文章： 亚里士多德提出教育理念，寓教于乐。约翰洛克让这个 理论变得更加流行John Newbery 真正实践了这个 理念。 同学 们在做的时候，能够真正听到这个 三个 人，把名字记好；每个 人提出的 教育理 念需要听清楚。 另外心理学 的文章，会大量提出假设，观点，例子，验证假设，验证观点，验证例子 Lecture4 一个 经常演莎士比亚剧的 theater ，这个 theater 在伦敦，已经被毁了。大家就 在讨论 这个 theater，的外形是不是圆形的，有记录说这个 记录是圆的，有说是六 边形的，教授提 边形的，教授提 了这个 建筑的缺点，就是在下雨的时候台上是 dry 的，但是 观众会 get wet ，有一个 map 比较可信， 上面画的这个 theater 是圆的，还有 一个 map 画的不是圆的，还有 就是一本书上说它不是圆的，但这个 书的作者 出生的时候个 theater 已经没有了，所以教授觉得不可信。第 一个 map 之所 以 可信是因为 那个 map 上面的有些建筑现在还在，然后形状和 map 上的是一 样 的，所以就觉得 map 上圆形 theater 应该也是对的。 解析： 文学 艺术的文章 讨论演莎士比亚的 theater 是否是圆的。 8 月 22 日托福口语真题回忆： s1: what should we do to help the elder in our community? Sample I like to help the old to do the following stuff. First, give them a hand with house chores. Some of them have trouble moving around, if I assist them with housework, they would be really grateful. Take my neighbor as an example, she has been lying on bed for years, I always help her cook and sweep the floor. Second, reading to the elder is a good way to help them get rid of loneliness. Some of the old people live far away from their sons and daughters, and they feel isolated. If I read stories to them, they will feel released and happy, and they rebuild their confidence in life. s2: which do you prefer? watch a movie silently or chatting with others？ Sample I prefer to watch a movie silently for the following reasons. First, I'm a movie buff. Sometimes I go to the movie theatre by myself. That way, I can enjoy the movie and relate the story to my life. If I were accompanied by someone else, I would be disturbed while watching the movie. Last time, I went to the cinema with my classmates, they actually annoyed me. They kept talking during the movie, having popcorns and even taking photos during the movie. I was ashamed of staying with them because I heard other people were judging us. I won't watch movies with them again, and I think it's definitely impolite to talk while others are enjoying themselves. s3: The school should list the menu in the canteen. firstly, the student could know the ingredients of the dish and make a healthier choice. secondly, the students could eat those food at home and practice cooking skill. The woman agrees with that suggestion. firstly, the student could avoid choosing the unhealthy dishes like sauce with abundant sugar. secondly, the students should have cooking skills after graduation and that policy could help them enhance cooking skills. s4: the professor illustrates the concept of bidirection, which means the kids and parents influence each other. the professor make an example that Max always yells and shouts but her parents always smile back to him. His parents spend more time on him to teach and influence him. s5: a student would prepare for an exam tonight. but an author would make a presentation at the same time. he has two opinions . 1 does not go to the presentation 2 listen the presentation and prepare
