4.教育学:文章:logical consequence 与inappropriate behavior 之间的关系。就是说惩罚孩子要和为什么联系到一起，他才不会再犯。教授举了个例子是教授
授原来在大学教小孩画画。有一个叫Mary 的小孩，让她画画她画到了桌子上，教授就罚她不许出去玩。结果之后那孩子还是画；后来他就叫他画桌子之后不不许用pen画画了。孩子明白了，以后就不犯了。

第一题 what big event happened in your country recently?
第二题 do you agree or disagree with the statement that friends influence people themost.
第三题
文章：学校要发daily emailtoinform school activities
听力：女生赞成。
理由1：学校以前是有个newspaper，一周一刊，她有时候周一读完，周三周四就忘了这些活动。每天都有email，是很好的提醒。
理由2：有时候活动会被取消，每天通知就能使大家得到最新消息，不至于白去。此外，学生们每天查邮件，使这个通知很方便。
第四题
文章：教育方法。课堂上，老师用提问的方法告诉同学们自己的观点，这样学生就能pay attention了。讲座中，教授举了自己教小孩的例子。他教育孩子们发言要举手，这样大家就公平，每人都有发言的机会。不过有个小姑娘叫Sarah，她从不举手。教授有一天就说阿，Sarah你知不知道你这么做别人不公平说不上话啊。没等Sarah回答，教授就继续了。从此Sarah知道举手了。
第五
一个女的组织了一场戏，其中有个叫Bill的龙套总是记不住台词。预演就结束了也还是不行。
方法1：这个女的想把男的换掉，却担心会影响人家心情，毕竟人家挺想演的。方法2：男的给了个主意，说每次排练完陪着bill单练，直到Bill练好。不过女的说她哪有那么多时间呢，每次练完了她都要照顾别的工作。
第六题

５．paper出了问题，然后女生自己想了２个建议（不是男生给的），１是直接交不好的，她相信教授不注重外面，２是重打一份
６．Topic is underground animals.然后说它们生活有许多Challenges~~然后例句了２个方面，都是用一个动物来例举的，发音是类似＂矛＂，这个动物的feet,eyes,ear给它在黑夜里带来方面以适应生活

1、describe one way of life in your country has been changed and why it is beneficial
I think one the changes in China is the usage of the internet. I remember the figure ofthe internet user in China in 2000 was only 50 million. But, surprisingly, this figurehas soared to 500 million with only ten years. Actually, the internet brings manychanges in people’s life in every aspect. For example, almost each university libraryin China has equipped with the internet. It is helpful for students’ study. They can findmore information faster than ever. Another example is the usage of internet in sociallife. People now in China are using internet to send emails, chat on-line, and theyeven find a blind date on internet.
2、你倾向于什么时候完成事情：是喜欢刚开始就准备还是到了due day 才开始准备，原因
I prefer preparing in advance.
First, I am a well-organized person. So if I have a plan, it takes time for me to prepareeverything before it happens. I think this is helpful especially when I have many otherworks to do at the same time. If I prepare first, I would feel less stressful.
Second, if I prepare first, I can have time to cope with the emergency. For example, Ionce wrote an essay for my history class with my laptop, but my laptop just brokewhen I was about to finish that paper. So I had to rewrite that essay, and it wasfrustrating.
3、[阅读]
学校有通知，要求新生参加学习小组，学校认为这样做有两个好处：
1）帮助学生掌握学习技巧
2）让学生结交新的朋友
[听力]
女生不同意，认为
1）很多学生已经知道怎么样学习，这样做会浪费时间
2）学生都是在一个教室上课，迟早会认识成为朋友的，不需要通过在图书馆加入学习小组认识新的朋友
In the dialogue, the woman disagrees with reading passage which states that theuniversity requires the newstudents to participate in th
e study discussion group. Shestates two reasons for her idea.
First, she thinks that many of the new students have already learned some learningskills, so it would be waste of time for them to take part in the discussion group.Second, she thinks that the students will become friends finally because they study inthe same class. So it is unnecessary for them to make friends with each other by thediscussion group.
4 动物都有maintain自己的方法，有的时候他们的群体会保持同一个规模大小（size），以防止外部威胁，有的时候调整群体的规模（adjust size）获取资源，然后听力里给了大猩猩的例子，他们晚上睡觉的时候都是100 个左右在一起，规模基本很稳定，防止别的动物攻击，但是白天觅食的时候会分成小规模去不同的地方。
5 男生因为搬家伤了后背，所以想换个工作，原来是在书店搬运重物到书架。两个选择：1）继续留在书店当收银员，但是会和他的study meeting时间上有冲突
2）是去cafeteria 洗盘子，但是钱少。
The man has a problem that he wants to change another job because he hurt his backwhen working in the book store. There are two solutions for him.
First, he can still work in the shop but play as a receptionist there. Second, he can finda job in acafeteria and wash the dishes there.
Personally, I prefer the first one. I think he has already hurt his back, so it would getworse if he washes dishes, which is very exhausting. Besides, I think he can talk tothe boss about his working schedule so thathe can avoid the time conflict with hisstudy meeting.
6、社会的稳定性由两种形式形成，一是人们从事同一个种类的工作，这样大家有共同的作息时间，共同的关注点等；另一个是从事不同种类的工作，做出不同的贡献，人们相互依赖，从而形成稳定性。
In the lecture, the professor talks about the two forms in which the society keepsstable.
The first form he introduces is that people in a society can do the same kind of job. Bydoing so, they can share the same working schedule and share the same interest at thesame time.
The second for he introduces is that people can do the different kinds of job. By doingso, people can rely on each other because they make different contributions to thesociety.

1、最近你感兴趣的新闻或是故事
Describe a news or a story that you are interested in recently. And explain why youthink it
was interesting. Include reasons and details in your response.
I am interested in the new
series of
before. I heard that those fantastic films are produced based on the story written in thenovel <
Harry Porter>. Therefore, I really want to watch the movie and find the differencesbetween
the films and the novels. Besides, I heard that some part of the story in the novel werecut in
order to make the film, So I am interested in reading the book and figure out whatthey are.
2、对一门课的检测，大家更愿意考试还是交一篇文章。
Some students prefer to take a essay question where they must write an essay to aquestion. Other students prefer to take a test with objective questions. Which type ofexam question do you prefer? Give reasons and examples in your explanation.Personally, I prefer writing an essay to a question. The reason is that I think studentscan learn more skills of the independent thinking skill from an essay. It means youhave to collect the materials, organize it and then express it in your own words. Thewhole processes can enhance one’s learning skills. Take myself for example, I ammajored in literature. So actually, there is no write answer about a specific questionand it means nothing if you just memorize something. So I think if I write an essay, Ican learn more critical thinking from that and that is the essential skill I should havefor my major.
3、公告：学校要在宿舍开餐厅
学生同意。理由1：有 于大家交 学习。
理由2：给大家提供 另外一个吃饭的地方。
4、说广告营销策略的：speaker说他本来 想买制冰激 机，觉得那很麻烦。后来有一天看到广告，广告把每一步骤都说得很清楚，他觉得很容 ，所以就买一台回家。说广告molding的作用。
In the lecture, the professor uses his own example to illustrates how the molding isused in advertising. In the example, the professor mentions the he didn’t want to buy aice-cream maker at first because he thinks that the process is so complicated. But one
day when he came across an advertisement of an ice cream maker which illustratedevery process of the how to use it in a very detailed way, he just changed his mind. Hethought the process was not as much complicated as before. So he just bought theice-cream maker and made the ice cream by himself.
5、情况： 生有一幅画，要参加从今晚开始为期2个月的艺术展，但 生把画在家 。
两个选择：
1）现在去拿来得及展出，但会错过下午的review。
2）她妈妈说可以给她送过来，但得明天，因为她妈妈今天要上班。教授说可以
明天再展出。但该 生的朋友今晚来看展览，如果明天展览就 看到她的画
。
In the dialogue, the woman has a problem that her pictures is supposed to be presentin the exhibition tonight butshe left them at her home. There are three solutions forher.
First, she can go back home and take them immediately but she will miss the reviewin the afternoon.
Second, her mother can help her to bring the pictures tomorrow and she can presentthem then. Personally, I prefer the second solution. First, I think the study shouldalways come the first for the students, so she cannot miss the review. It is important toher study.
Second, I think her friends can still come to see her pictures tomorrow if she just tellsthem the truth. Her friends will understand that.
6、一些动物的妈妈会让同种族的 轻一点的雌性来照顾自己的小孩，这样她就可以出去采食和活动，同时也训练 那些即将当妈妈的雌性的mothering skill。Some animals let other younger female animals of the same kind to look after theirbabies. There are two advantages.

2009年02月27日 北美托福口语机经
1、讲你国家的development
模板1
I think one of the greatest developments in China is the usage of the internet. Iremember the figure of the internet user in China in 2000 was only 50 million. But,surprisingly, this figure has soared to 500 million with only ten years. Actually, theinternet brings many changes in people’s life in every aspect. For example, almosteach university librar
yin China has equipped with the internet. It is helpful forstudents’ study. They can find more information faster than ever. Another example isthe usage of internet in social life. People now in China are using internet to sendemails, chat on-line, and they even find a blind date on internet.
模板 2
Using computer is the first technology I wanna learn. First, because I like to go to thenet bars, where there are crowd of people, which dosen’t need me too much thinking,all I have to do is to click the mouse, and it is pretty much relaxing. Also, I likesomething related to music. Therefore, I can get whatever I want about music on theinternet. Another reason is that I can obtain much information too. For example, I can get to know something about current events or the most fashionable movies. Finally, Iam crazy about online chatting. If I surf the internet, I have a chance to chat withanyone, no matter whether they’re in China, the US, or Japan.
2、是否同意父母是我们最重要的老师
I agree that parents are the important teachers to us. First, I think because we spendmost of the time with our parent before we become adults, so we actually learn manythings from our parents besides our teachers in school. Take myselffor example; myfather is a professor on physics. He teaches me a lot on physics since I was a child andthat actually cultivate my interests in physics since then. So I just chose physic as mymajor in college. More importantly, parents don’t only teach us knowledge, but theyalso teach us how to deal with people and how to perceive the world.
3、学校要为学生的艺术课找个director
女生反对，一是那个人没时间管那么多学生
二是这个director 并不能增加学生上课的人数，因为大家都不知道这个人是谁，男生说是呀，我也不知道这个director 是谁。
The woman disagrees with the statement in the reading passage which states that theuniversity plans to employ a director as the teacher for the art class. She states tworeasons.
First, the director is so busy that he cannot focus entirely on the class.
Second, some stu
dents don’t know about this director because he is not famousenough. So the students will probably not go to the class because of him. The classsize cannot be expanded.
4、competence的两个阶段 conscious 和unconscious
用了typing 来作为例子来说明competence 的conscious阶段。比如刚开始学习typing paper的时候，学生必须全神贯注，并且在和他谈话时，他必须专门停下来。因为不能够同时作两件事，所以导致的结果就是——他打完一篇文章很慢，但是那个时候的错误也比较少.
在unconscious stage阶段：人们通常认为自己已经完全学会了这项技能所以不再聚精会神，常常一心两用。虽然打字变快，但是常常边打字便和寝室同学对话，导致在打字的时候犯的错误变多、题目就是让你 summarize 整个材料大意还有如何用例子来说明观点的。
In this set of materials, the reading passage describes the definition about competenceand the listening passage is a lecture by a professor on the same topic.
According to the reading passage, it says that the competence has two stages: conscious and unconscious.
In the listening passage the professor discusses the same things. The professor usestyping as an example. He says that when he just started to learn how to type, heusually focused on typing without anything else interrupted. In the same time, hemade fewer mistakes. However, when he totally mastered typing, he moved tounconscious stage. He can do several things in the same time, but, he made even moremistakes.
5、女生没办法带孩子去博物馆，因为没有向导。
2 个建议，建议一，自己去，没有向导。但是女生懂的没向导多；
建议二，reschedule另外的时间
The woman meets with a problem that she is not able to take her children to themuseum because there is no guide there available.
There are two solutions. First, she can play as the guide but she is not as
knowledgeable about the museum as the guide.
Second, she can re-schedule the museum visit
Personally, I prefer the first solution. I think the woman can try to find someinformation about the museum and learn it by herself. She can also play as the guidefor her children. Additionally, I think her children would be more comfortable if theirmother is the guide but not a stranger instead.
6、讲生物保护自己的2 个方法，一是变形、二是行为——举例：某种动物会装死。
In the lecture, the pro
fessor talks about the two methods that the animals use toprotect themselves.
The first is the transformation
The other is the behavior.

口语5 图书馆限制借书到10本，理由是学生一次借太多书看不过来。还有不按时还甚至丢书。女生反对，说她写research paper，一次就需要20本；另外，图书馆这样做明显是不信任学生，她从不会不按时还，不会把书弄丢

2. 有人喜欢把时间排得很满，有人喜欢留很多free time。你呢？
3. 学校校报这类宣传品停止发放。
理由：一是宣传和通知改为用 website传播；二是学生写review 的参与性不高某男反驳，一是校报本来到处都是，很方便拿的，放到网上就没人去看了；二是你这样一搞那么学生参与就更少了；此外建议一个：给学生付工资，那么参与的人一定多了，学校也有这个 budget。
4.GG 明天论文截止，今天晚上应该写完，但今晚答应朋友听音乐会。MM ：你可以去啊，人家都帮你买票了；GG则认为，如果去听，今晚就通宵了。GG的另一个选择：不去，写论文。但是别人请客票都帮咱买了，不去不行啊！6. 雌性动物当妈后胆子变大。实验场所：两种容器，一种像下水道，另一种没有顶盖，可以看到上面。

现象：处女rat——胆子小，只敢走像下水道那个；
妈——大无畏两个照走。
结论：为了给孩子找东西吃，妈天不怕地不怕。

好处1、学校提供transport，方便学生外出郊游。
好处2、去野外看看natural scenery，能让人fresh。郊游回来之后，解决schoolwork很efficient。
【学生议论】：男生同意此建议，认为这个做法有positive impact。
理由1、学校给同学们提供bus，可方便那些住在center of the city、have notransports的students郊游。
理由2、studying in library很累。郊游有利于学生好好欣赏自然风景、relax。郊游回来，更能focus on study。
4、【课文要点】：brood parasites（孵育寄生动物）：animals that use a unconventionaltactic to let other animals hatch their offspring for them。
【教授举例】：教授以cat fish 如何利用cichlid孵卵为例讲解此定义。femalecichlid产卵eggs后，会把它的卵eggs gather，hide在mouth里protect，until theyare ready to hatch。femalecat fish：sneaker the female cichlid，等cichlid张嘴的时候，cat fish will quickly release their eggs into the water。female cichlid can not telldifferences between自己的卵和cat fish的卵。然后就把catfish的eggs gather到自己mouth里hatch了。Catfish就是这样cat fish take advantages of cichlid to hatcheggs for them.
5、【学生困难】：男生邀请了一个著名的哲学教授下星期在学校的一个big hallgive a philosophy lecture。但他担心对哲学感兴趣的学生少、来听讲座的人少，礼堂坐不满empty。
【解决方案】：女生建议：

die.
关于人类行为如何影响native fish。第一，人类为了船运，连接了好多湖和海，引进了新鱼群，或大型的海鱼，有的会变成native fish的praditor，降低得nativefish的数量；第二，改变了湖的温度。人类为了造房伐树，但是本来树是可以遮阳，从而降低湖水温度的，低温的湖水会带来更多的氧气，但是现在氧气减少了，native fish就会窒息而死。说什么捕鱼影响还是污染eco-system，要不就是人类活动影响捕鱼业（貌似是后者）海里的船到了河里就能捕鱼
什么温度变了，好像鱼死了
关于人类影响鱼群种类的原因1。引来海里的鱼吃湖里的鱼2。砍掉河边的树使水的温度提高，氧气含量降低，导致鱼的死亡
Fresh water ecological system has been changed due to human activities, which endanger the native fish species by two ways:

2) To change the environment of the fresh water ecological system which the nativefish need to survive. For example, when the trees around the lake are cut off, there isno more shade covered the water. Then the water will lack in oxygen which the fishneed due to the raise of the temperature.
freshwater ecosystem; 2 ways that human being cause the death of native fish; a.is bybuilding canal, results in the coming of new fish species, who are predators of nativefish. b. by cutting trees, left nothing to block the sunshine, increase the watertemperature, less oxygen, death of fish.
