-无事先预览。考生只有听完材料后才能看到考题，这样就不能提前根据选项猜测考题。因此，考生听材料时需要用笔进行速记，即把听到的主要内容和相关细节记录下来，然后根据记录的内容答题。
-听力段子的内容非常up-to-date(与时俱进)。更新的速度很快，你所听到的词和句子都是此时此刻发生在美国校园内的真实对话，所以，新托福听力可谓是一个很有效的检验和衡量考生英文实践能力的标准。
-以学术场景为主，长度有所增加。所以要求考生具有快速领略主要内容的能力、理解能力和速记能力。
听力考试内容为六段(无加考)或九段，*均每篇600字，2-3个对话，4-6个讲课，材料语速是140-220单词/分钟。每个对话是2-3分钟，280字-660字。每个讲解是4-6分钟，560字-1320字。答题时间比较短，有34或51道题，答题时间为20或30分钟。听力部分的总时间为50分钟到80分钟。
-basic comprehension：理解全文主要观点和把握具体细节。
具有根据演讲和报告按演绎法展开的特点，我们要有的放矢，抓住讲课有1个关于主要内容的问题，注重开始的introductory statement(引言、介绍)，以及说话者对此话题的感受。
问题模式：What is the lecture/talk mainly about?
What is the professor mainly discussing?
-pragmatic understanding：注重说话者的语气、目的和态度。
讲座中说话者的语气一般包括：objective(客观)、subjective(主观)、inquisitive(好奇)、Excited(兴奋)、Disappointed/Upset(失望悲伤)、Uncertainorconfused(迷惑)。
说话者的态度一般包括积极、消极、兴奋、悲伤、印象深刻、没有印象、感爱好、烦人等。
需要考生能概括说话者的目的，确定说话人的感情基调，是道歉、解释、澄清观点、改换话题、表达观点、建议采取新的行动等。
问题模式：Whatis…attitude/opinion toward…?
-connecting information：考查学生对文章脉络，概括和推导的能力。
问题模式：what can be inferred about the woman?
——托福听力常见的失分点 (菁华3篇)
在托福听力考题中，场景类的材料占有很大的比重，其中涉及到很多有关场景类的词汇。这样一来，能否熟练的识别、拼写出场景词汇，成了能否取得高分的重要因素，尤其是一些出现频率不高、难度却较大的场景。例如托福听力考试中学*类场景的词汇：pass the exam with flying colors 意为以优异成绩通过考试，这里的flying colors就要特别记忆，不能只从字面上去理解;学科类的词汇相对来说比较难拼写，例如archaeology考古学，这个单词很容易拼写错误成archeology或者archaology,因此，*时要对这些比较长、有特殊含义的词汇或者词组多加记忆。

由于新托福考试听力部分的考试类型的改变，导致很多*考生对这样的考试很不*惯，因此在时间的掌控上会有许多学生出现问题，把大部分的时间纠缠在一道题目上，从而导致后面会做的题目做不完。在考场上如果出现这样的情况，考生应该先将这样的题目放过去，把下面会的题目先做完，然后根据该部分的剩余时间来决定还有没有进行深入分析的必要，比如该部分只剩下两分钟，而你有3道题比较纠结，这个时候就没有必要再去深入的分析，而要凭着自己的第一印象作答。
——托福听力高分关键 (菁华3篇)
High-quality extensive listening，指的是高质量的泛听。泛听不用像精听那样每个细节都得突破，只需要把握住整体的语流，听懂说话人的大概意思就可以。而高质量的泛听，指的是必须全神贯注的听。泛听的“泛”并不指态度的懒散，而是针对整体的要求。
泛听最佳的材料有两个：一个是National Geographic(国家地理)，另一个是Discovery(探索)。看到时候，一定要有英文字幕。每天看一集，养成*惯，会有极大收获。
Dictation，也就是听写，它指的是将一篇听力录音中的原文全部听抄下来。为什么要进行听写?因为它是听力提高最有效的方法。为什么听写是听力提高最有效的方法?因为它能将一个人听力中所有细枝末节的问题都暴露出来，然后订正，全部解决掉，这样自然最有效率，也最深刻。那么对于准备托福考试的考生而言，最好的听写材料是什么?是老托的lecture。为什么老托的lecture是最好的听写材料?因为新托是老托的延续，老托和新托在题材、词汇，和难度上都大致相当。当然，如果基础比较薄弱的同学，可以先花一个月的时间将新概念第二和第三册的美英版先听写完，然后再来听写老托的lecture，这样会更加磨刀不误砍柴功。
Challenging materials，意思是“有挑战性的材料”，指的是备考托福听力，*时听力练*的最高难度一定要超越考试难度，这样在考试的时候才会有居高临下的感觉，稳定地取得好成绩。挑战性的材料有这么几类：第一，美国大学上课的课堂录像或录音，现在很多美国大学已经将自己大学的许多教授的课堂录像放在了互联网上，这是一个极佳的挑战听力难度的材料;第二，巴朗和Kaplan上的试题一定要做完，另外，如果觉得DELTA上的试题难度低，可以利用变速软件加2倍速来做，这样就会超越考试难度。
——托福听力需特别留意的地方 (菁华3篇)
除英语能力，托福还考察耐力。持续*4个小时的考试对*考生来讲是前所未有的挑战，而单是听力部分就要60-90分钟，并且要注意力集中，一不留神就会错过一些重要的信息点。很多人无法适应这么长时间的煎熬，到听力后半段就会烦躁，而且可能会厌烦这种考试，主观上产生排斥，那么后面的内容就更听的云里雾里了。
对策：关于这一点，我要提醒各位考生的是，考试绝不是要你意气用事。我们坐在那里是要来解决问题的，绝不是让你表达你对这种模式的喜好和厌恶。即使你发觉自己有些烦躁，也要尽量*静自己的情绪，不能任其继续扩大。不妨将这看作是对自己的挑战，看看自己能不能战胜自己。如果能，相信你也必将克服外来的任何困难。
很多人不重视这个步骤，只是简单履行程序，这是大错特错。硬件设备的性能直接影响我们的发挥。有这样一个考生，以往考试听力成绩都在24分以上，但最*一次由于在试听的时候没太在意，考试的时候发现听力设备有问题，一会听得见一会听不见，虽然后来考场采取了一定的措施，但结果听力只有19分。这不是故事，是一件真实的事件。这个故事告诉我们，考试是一件大事，任何一个环节都不能大意。
托福考场的乱人尽皆知。先到先考，每个考生的进度都不一样。所以，在你想安心做听力的时候，可能会看到在教室里往返穿梭的身影，听到他们不大不小刚好踩在你心头的脚步声，还有地板轻微的震动，更厉害的是口语战士们高亢、洪亮的的音频，正宗、纯粹、地道的*英语(或支离破碎、体无完肤的不知道哪国的英语)。凡此种种，全都出现在你的耳畔、眼前，乃至心头，挥之不去，严重分散你的注意力。
对策：没有什么特效的解决办法，只能尽可能集中注意力，尽量减少这些因素对自己的干扰：把耳机音量调大，压制住外来的声音;把视野缩小到笔尖、屏幕;摄敛心神，让思想单纯起来，只思考听到的东西。这些都需要*时练*中就多加注意。

13. B The 6:30 one
14. C The time on the train is enjoyable
15. A Reading newspapers.
Passage One
Most American college students need to be efficient readers. This is necessary because full-time students probably have to read several hundred pages every week. They don't have time to read a chapter three or four times. They need to extract as much information as possible from the first or second reading.
An extraordinarily important study skill is knowing how to mark a book. Students mark the main ideas and important details with a pen or pencil, yellow or blue or orange. Some students mark new vocabulary in a different color. Most students write questions or short notes in the margins. Marking a book is a useful skill, but it's important to do it right. First, read a chapter with one pen in your hand and others next to you on the desk. Second, read a whole paragraph before you mark anything. Don't mark too much. Usually you will mark about 10% of a passage. Third, decide on your own system for marking. For example, maybe you will mark main ideas in yellow, important details in blue and new words in orange. Maybe you will put question marks in the margin when you don't understand something and before an exam. Instead, you just need to review your marks and you can save a lot of time.
16. What should American college students do to cope with their heavy reading assignments?
17. What suggestion does the speaker give about marking a textbook?
18. How should students prepare for an exam according to the speaker?
Passage Two
The thought of having no sleep for 24 hours or more isn't a pleasant one for most people. The amount of sleep that each person needs varies. In general, each of us needs about 8 hours of sleep each day to keep us healthy and happy. Some people, however, can get by with just a few hours of sleep at night.
It doesn't matter when or how much a person sleeps. But everyone needs some rest to stay alive. Few doctors would have thought that there might be an exception to this. Sleep is, after all, a very basic need. But a man named Al Herpin turned out to be a real exception, for supposedly, he never slept!
Al Herpin was 90 years old when doctors came to his home in New Jersy. They hoped to challenge the claim that he never slept. But they were surprised. Though they watched him every hour of the day, they never saw Herpin sleeping. He did not even own a bed. He never needed one.
The closest that Herpin came to resting was to sit in a rocking chair and read a half dozen newspapers. His doctors were puzzled by the strange case of permanent sleeplessness. Herpin offered the only clue to his condition. He remembered some talk about his mother having been injured several days before he had been born. Herpin died at the age of 94, never, it seems, having slept at all.
19. What is taken for granted by most people?
20. What do doctors think of Al Herpin's case?
21. What could have accounted for Al Herpin's sleeplessness?
Passage Three
Hetty Green was a very spoiled, only child. She was born in Massachusetts USA in 1835. Her father was a millionaire businessman. Her mother was often ill, and so from the age of two her father took her with him to work and taught her about stocks and shares. At the age of six she started reading the daily financial newspapers and opened her own bank account. Her father died when she was 21 and she inherited 7.5 million dollars. She went to New York and invested on Wall Street. Hetty saved every penny, eating in the cheapest restaurants for 15 cents. She became one of the richest and most hated women in the world. At 33 she married Edward Green, a multi-millionaire, and had two children, Ned and Sylvia.
Hetty’s meanness was well-known. She always argued about prices in shops. She walked to the local grocery store to buy broken biscuits which were much cheaper, and to get a free bone for her much loved dog. Once she lost a two-cent stamp and spent the night looking for it. She never bought clothes and always wore the same long, ragged black skirt. Worst of all, when her son, Ned, fell and injured his knee, she refused to pay for a doctor and spent hours looking for free medical help. In the end Ned lost his leg. When she died in 1916 she left her children 100 million dollars. Her daughter built a hospital with her money.
22. What do we learn about Hetty Green as a child?
23. How did Hetty Green become rich overnight?
24. Why was Hetty Green much hated?
25. What do we learn about Hetty's daughter?

——做好企业内训的关键3篇
培训组织决定了一场培训的所有，组织不到位再好的培训也会被毁掉，组织到位一般的培训也会井井有条。
1)有策划：
培训工作属于对时间把控，内容衔接，环节设计要求较高的工作。实施一场培训前必须有充足的策划，时间方面细化到分的培训策划书出来后，能够很好的保证培训不漏项。每个环节和节点演练后能够保证培训内容的充实性。每个事项有责任人才能够保证事事有人负责。一个好的培训策划，就能够很好的把控整个培训进度，达到想要的效果。
2)有环境：
好的培训场地布置能够催生培训的效果，人人都喜欢处在一个和谐、安全、宁静的环境中学*。比方说培训教室的墙壁上有学*标语，培训教室的温度、灯光让人感觉舒适，培训进场与课间音乐能够让人身心愉悦。有些公司连一块像样的白板都没有，这个需要HR们努力去争取和创造条件了，或者直接放到外面的专业场地去培训。
3)有关怀：
培训前的通知将相关的注意事项都要通知到位，比方说培训是否需要自备本子、笔，是否需要预*相关内容，是否需要准备洗漱用品，需要着正装还是休闲服即可。培训中要关注学员的学*状态，比如说教室内是否可备一些茶歇，很多人没有吃早餐的*惯。培训过程中中午、晚上学员是否能够休息好，住宿环境舒适吗?餐是否能够吃好?是否有充足的水和咖啡等等(当然军事和魔鬼训练除外)。培训后关心学员如何返程，是否安全到家、到岗。你这么关心一个学员的时候他不会感激你，估计他(她)老公老婆都没这么关心过他(她)。
好的培训一定是设计出来的。企业内训做好难就难在内容，重视培训的企业，培训工作是周周做、月月做、年年做，人力资源部门的培训人员不是神，哪里有这么多内容培训这群一模一样的人。可老板又要求必须不断开展和推进培训工作，痛不痛呢?煎熬的痛。
1)搞准培训需求，
培训需求一般有三个主要来源：老板或上级直接要求培训的内容;工作中存在问题的环节、人员;员工或单位根据自己的分析提出的培训需求。需求是培训的起点，这个必须清晰和明确，设计的培训内容才能有的放矢。讲出来的内容，才会是参训人喜欢听的。
2)重视体验参与，
一个培训好，不单单因为培训内容，尤其**学*。每个人只对自己参与其中的事情感兴趣，因此我们设计内容时，要抓住一切机会让学员能参与其中。我最*在标杆研*社参与做了一个体验式教学课程项目，非常适合在企业内部实施，受训过的企业没有人不接受这样的形式，没有说不好的。因为寓教于乐，充分参与，让每个人感觉自己是主角，培训的收获来自于自己的感悟，老师的分享可能更多是一个引导。
3)不断研发创新，
培训不是刚需，娱乐、互动、交流才是刚需，一味的按照老套路做培训，只会越来越没出路。所以内容上应该更加具备趣味性，加强与学员之间的互动，哪怕就多几个问题和研讨的培训都会不一样。创新就要敢于打破常规，每次要给学员不一样的冲击，每次训练如果学员都能发出一次感慨：噢，又跟上次不一样了!这才真正有点新意。比如我们开展的一个《体验式导师研修班》专门帮助企业培训培训导师的项目，就连一个最简单的分组，我们都进行了不下五种方法的创新。课程内容也是每次都会自我推翻，不断重构，不断迭代。在内容的创新上，必须死磕，用工匠精神来打造培训产品，这样培训内容必定会有吸引力。还有一个要强调的是培训人员要不断提升自己的高度，没有一瓶水却想给别人半瓶水基本不可能，老师的能力决定了一个培训的效果。我们说培训都在从以老师为中心转变成以学员为中心，但事实是大多数的培训，对老师能力依然有较高的要求。老师就要不断的去提升自己，通常的做法是：了解企业业务经营状况及存在问题，多关注公司的动态;多看书阅读写作，不断进行输入与输出;求教外部资源，找比你厉害的人请教和学*，进入到一个高质量的学*圈子不断提升自己。
我们首先要颠覆一个概念，运用培训评估表评估出来的就不是效果。真正的培训效果是转化到工作中的思维、方法、工具的价值，有些喜欢将其与直接业绩挂钩，这个比较难，硬是挂也可以，只是会有点牵强。
1)内容转化：
企业内部大道理不需要太多，更多要实实在在指导工作的。因此在课程设计时，PPT制作时就要考虑到学员是否能转化和迁移到具体工作场景中。
2)形式转化：
没有练*的培训不是好培训，没有研讨的培训不是好培训，没有学员发言的培训不是好培训。只有练出来的战士，所以形式上要实现效果的转化，必须在充分调动学员参与练*、研讨、发言上下工夫。练多了、讲多了，回到工作岗位上才有可能直接运用。
3)跟踪转化：
我们每次培训会制定一个学员改进承诺表，自己罗列工作问题，写出具体回到工作岗位要落实的三项措施，明确时间节点，到老师处通过。实施过程中组织研讨工作坊，检查承诺的完成情况。下期培训前进行改进表现的评比，根据效果强制排序培训内容的转化情况，渲染比赶超的氛围，强化学员主动去落实措施。

该部分是对考生书面表达能力的.考查，因而在命题方面有着不同于其他部分的特点，考生应了解其命题规律，做到心中有数。
任何听力考试，必须多听;要听就必须有合适的听力材料，有恰当的练*方法。一般说来，在学*第二语言时，一个人的听力和他的阅读能力相比往往差了一些，因此选择听力材料相对容易。听力材料可以分三部分：一是各种考试真题和模拟题的录音带;二是英美新闻或广播专题;三是趣味英语。不管选什么，选材不易过难，因为那样会挫伤练*听力的兴趣和积极性;但也不能太容易，因为什么都听懂了，就起不到练*的效果。因此，要选那些大部分都能听懂，但又不能完全听懂得内容，反复多听几篇，最后争取全听懂。各级的PETS考试对听力的要求不同，对不同的级别采取不同的复*策略
提高英语听力的水*单靠“听”是不能解决问题的，个人的听力水*的高低与其掌握的词汇量、对语法结构的熟悉程度、知识面、理解能力甚至阅读速度等都密切相关。考生*时应注意全面提高自身英语各方面的水*。
应试时，考生要做好充分的思想准备，以正常心态应试。首先，要充满自信，相信自己能正常发挥水*，考出理想成绩;其次，要实事求是，估计到考试中可能出现的困难。考试时争取会的题不丢分，没有把握的题尽可能争取得分。即使有的词或句子没有听清，甚至没有听见，也不要过分思考，不要滞留，要舍得放弃。以保证听好下面的内容。实际上，个别单词和句子没有抓住一般不一定会影响做题。
——托福口语辅导材料 (菁华3篇)
The motto: honesty is the best policy
The reasons you chose the motto:
- personal philosophy
- easier to live with
- overall moral good
My motto is “honesty is the best policy” because life is easier when we tell the truth. I have felt this way ever since I read the story of Pinocchio, the little marionette whose wooden nose grew whenever he told a lie. It just seems better to deal with the truth. As a result, there are no surprises or stories that don’t match up. It also helps people treat themselves with more self-respect and in turn, others will treat them in a more dignified manner. Lying to others is lying to oneself. If everyone were honest, we would all fell better in our personal lives and in dealing at work.
The moment: sending an email by mistake
The reasons you chose this moment
- careless moment
- revealed personal information
- lost people’s trust
My most embarrassing moment came when I recently sent an email carelessly to the wrong person. A friend revealed personal information to me in an email and asked for my advice. At first, I concentrated on answering him, but then the phone rang and I mistakenly sent it off on another friend in my address book. I sent off a friend’s confession about how he had cheated on his girlfriend, not once, but twice in the same day. The friend who received it happed to be a good friend of the guy’s girlfriend. In this one embarrassing moment I carelessly revealed private details and might have lost the trust of both friends. I also revealed my stupidity and lack of care – personally very embarrassing.
The reasons you chose the color:
- happy color
- looks good on me
- goes with all my outfits
In my closet I have clothes of many colors but my favorite color is pink. Pink strikes me as such a happy color. For this reason I feel that I always look good and I feel good when I wear pink. When it is rainy in the winter, I like to wear my pink silk and wool sweater. It makes me feel so warm inside. Pink appears in separate pieces of clothing as well as in some of my accessories such as scarves, hairpins and belts. Gradually I have added pieces to my collection of clothes but they all go together with each other and with the color pink. My wardrobe is coordinated around a color that both flatters me and makes me feel good.
