2020 年托业考试 口语真题及高分模板含答案
2020 年托业考试口语真题及高分模板含答案2020.01.04Do you agree or disagree with the following statement. Online learning is as effective as traditional class learning.I personally believe that learning on the Internet can be as effective as learning in a traditional classroom.This is because the Internet can offer us a variety of courses and electronic resources, like history, science, cutting-edge technologies, painting, you just name it. You know, the same stuff that teachers in a classroom can teach us. Sometimes, online learning can give us more because information on the Internet is updating every single second. And also, studying online is really time-saving as s tudents don’t need to waste any minute on commuting. The time saved can be used on something more important, like reading reference books, finishing assignments, doing research and so on.2020.01.05Some people like to shop in large department stores or supermarkets to buy all things they need. Other people prefer to shop in small specialty stores or shops to buy one specific item at a time. Which do you prefer? Explain why.I feel that shopping in large department stores or supermarkets appeals more to me.This is because I don’t need to waste a lot of time and money on the road to several specialty stores which may locate in different areas. I just enjoy one-stop shopping, and my favorite place is a shopping mall called Dahua near my home. You can basically buy anything you need, clothes, shoes, cosmetics, luxurious bags, cellphones, computers, you just name it. The best thing is that there is a Walmart in this mall, so you can also go grocery shopping here. This is a perfect place for shopaholics to shop until they drop. In my free time, I often go there with my friends to do some window shopping while catching up.2020.01.11Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Schools should limit the time that students use to do part-time job to one hour a week.I don’t think there should be a limitation as long as students can manage to strike a right balance between their work and study.By taking part time jobs, school kids can have a better picture of the real work-life, and also acquire practical work experience and hands-on skills which cannot be gained from textbooks. If the time is limited to only one hour a week, it’s virtually impossible for students to find a job that can allow them to learn anything valuable.In addition, it is also important for students to cultivate their interpersonal skills while working. Every week, they have to spare at least a whole day to work in a company, so that they canlearn how to communicate with their employers, colleagues, as well as customers.2020.01.12Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Schools should force students to test some specific physical activities, such as swimming or running.I do agree with this statement because these physical activities can help students a lot. First, they can push students to practice more in order to past the test. Doing exercise regularly will help students keep fit and stay in shape. Take me for example. As a student, I always have a heavy study load and lead a sedentary lifestyle. If I had this kind of physical tests to take, I will go running every morning, so it’s unlikely for me to become ill or obese. Second, learning how to swim is not only good to their body, but also helps students to acquire one more surviving skill. What if they accidentally fall into a river, being a swimmer will help them save their own lives.2020.07.11Some people prefer to travel to new place, while others prefer to revisit a place they have been to before. Which do you prefer and why?From my perspective, traveling to new places is better.This is because it can help me enrich my personal experience. When I have a trip to a new city, I’ll have the chance to see some cultures, customs and traditions that are completely different from what I usually see in my hometown. For example, last summer I went to Beijing for a vacation, it offered me a great chance to learn more about Hutong and courtyard houses, and this experience was really an eye-opener for me. In addition, I will be able to meet a lot of new friends this way. By staying in the Youth Hostels in different places, I meet many people who have the same passion for traveling.2020.07.18Some students prefer to make friends with people who are about the same age. Other students prefer to make friends with people of different ages. Which why do you prefer and why?From my perspective, making friends of different ages appeals more to me.By doing this, I will be able to expand my outlooks by communicating with people from different backgrounds. For those who are older than me, they have rich life experiences. Whenever I encounter some problems in the workplace, they can help me see thing from different aspects and then come up with better solutions.As for people who are younger than me, I also enjoy hanging out with them. This is because I can always keep myself updated and know more about what’s trendy today while having a talk with them. After gossiping about the pop stars and sharing the latest fashion news, I can stay away from the bustle and bustle of my daily routine. In this way, I often feel more relaxing and energetic.2020.07.25Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? To truly know about a country, it is necessary to learn a major language of this country.The way I see it, learning a major language of a country can indeed help a foreigner have a better understanding of this country.This is because foreign people will be able to read books, watch movies and browse websites just like locals do. It’s much easier for them to know more about local cultures, customs and traditions. In this way, people can draw a conclusion by processing ideas by themselves instead of acquiring information from translators’ perspective or hearing news from the media. In addition, speaking local language means that an outsider can make friends in this country more easily because there is no language barrier in communication. One can have a unique experience by celebrating holidays and festivals with local people.2020.07.29It is better to praise their good behavior or criticize their bad behavior.Explain why.The way I see it, intelligence is not the only thing that matters when it comes to achieving academic success in school.This is because super smart children may easily go astray without working hard. I still remember when I was in primary school, there was a wonder kid named Michael in my class. He could answer every difficult question and even mastered the knowledge which would not be taught until high school. However, as Michael realized that he was the smartest head in the class, he spent an excessive amount of time on computer games instead of textbooks. Later on, he even didn’t show up in classes and fell behind eventually. I recently heard that he was only admitted to a community college instead of a reputable one. What a shame.2020.08.16Some people prefer to hold parties, while others do not like to hold parties or other social events. They prefer to participate in parties.Which way do you prefer and why?I prefer to participate in parties for the following reasons. To begin with, holding parties means people have to spend a lot of time preparing for it, including arranging for the place to hold the party, preparing for the food and entertainment activities and inviting people to join. It is too tedious and time-consuming. As a college student, I don’t have enough time and energy for that. Besides, it will leave a bad impression on others if I don’t hold the party well. To save me from that risk, I prefer not to hold parties but to participate.2020.08.19Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Playing sports might make children become overly aggressive in later years.I don’t think children who play sports will become overly aggressive when they grow up. On the contrary, they will learn how to follow the rules and control themselves. Even in some competitive sports like football or basketball, young children cannot simply use their physicalstrength to win. If they don’t obey the rules, they will get punished or even kicked out of the game. In this way, they will know that violent behaviors like pushing or hitting won’t get them anywhere.In addition, when playing team sports, young children will learn how to cooperate with others. Individual ability can’t help score because one person will be easily blocked by the other team. They sometimes have to sacrifice their own show time but to assist their teammates to be the super star.2020.08.22 some companies have recently started to give their employees more extra time to socialize, or do nonwork activities during the workday. The theory is that this will increase productivity. Do you agree or disagree?I agree with the plan that companies started to give their employees more extra time to socialize or do nonwork activities during the workday for the following reasons. Firstly, the workers’ efficiency will be lower if keep doing stressful work-related tasks or work around the clock. Therefore, giving their employees more extra time to socialize or do entertainment activities can help improve efficiency greatly. On top of that, workers can be inspired if allowed to socialize and join in entertaining activities. For example, those who do industrial design or advertising during the extra time may be inspired.2020.08.23When a new product comes out, some people like to wait a while to see if its price goes down before they buy it. Other people prefer to buy it right away, even if they pay a little more. Which do you prefer and why?I prefer to wait a while to see if its price goes down before they buy it when a new product comes out for the following reasons. To begin with, it often takes a while for people to decide whether they need the new product or just want it out of curiosity. I always wait for some time to see if I still want to buy the product and I believe it is a more rational way to shop. On top pf that, I am a college student, so I don’t have a regular inco me. I cannot afford to buy something that is too expensive. Waiting for a while see if its price goes down is a good way for me to save money.2020.08.26Do you agree or disagree with the statement that watching videos online is a more effective learning method than attending classes?I disagree with the statement that watching videos online is a more effective learning method than attending classes for the following reasons. To begin with, attending classes enable students to have direct interaction with professors and classmates. When students have something unable to understand, he/she can easily ask the professor to stop and to explain further. On top of that, watching videos requires students to have strong self-discipline, otherwise, they will be easily distracted by other stuff around them. However, attendingclasses in person is a totally different scenario because students will pay more attention to what teachers are saying and be more focused.2020.08.29Some college students take classes during the summer. Others take the summer off from school, so that they can rest or work. Which do you think is better and explain why?Taking summer classes is better for students. First, students can graduate college early. For example, when I was in college, I enrolled in at least two courses during the summer. In doing so, I was able to graduate college within three years, and then I successfully obtained a job offer. Second, students can better focus on their studies. During regular semesters, there are often many students on campus with a wide variety of activities going on. Sometimes, it is hard for students to dedicate much of their time and energy on their studies. However, during the summer, most students would go back home, so the campus is much quieter. This would be an ideal environment for hardworking students to concentrate on improving their academic abilities.2020.08.30Imagine that you and your friends are going to hang out, and you guys need to decide where to go. Who do you think should make the decision? You make it, or you and your friends make it together? Why?Use specific reasons and examples to explain your choiceFrom my perspective, I think making the decision with friends is more appropriate. This is because If I just make the call, it might leave others a bad impression on me. For example, if we are deciding which restaurant to go for dinner, I just say that let's go to my favorite Italian restaurant and ask everybody to follow me, maybe some of them may not prefer Italian food as I do. So there will only be two consequences. Either they will refuse to go with me, or go but blaming me for a selfish person. Therefore, we should always consider others' feelings and preference and kindly discuss any plan with people who are involved in it.2020.09.12Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? University library should be open to the public.I think the university library should not be opened to the public. First of all, a lot of people do not know how to cherish and treasure the public services, so maybe these resources will be under risks. For example, many visitors and children will torn apart the books, or even damage the computers. So the university should spend a lot of money to fix it. So this is the main reason why I don’t think this is a good idea.Secondly, if we do so, many students may not use the library anymore, and these privileges will be taken away. You know, these privileges might be very important to the students because the students paid good money for it. So they have rights to use it. So I think theuniversity library should not be opened to the public.2020.09.13The university decides to open the school library to the general public and charge fees for borrowing the book. Do you think this is a good idea?I don’t think it’s a good idea because its gonna have a bad impact on student’s study efficiency. For example, I remember back in my college years, we used to have a policy like this, you know, people can just pay a little money and get access to our on campus library. At first I thought it is fine, I mean it's not a big deal to share our library with other people, but then I found whenever I went to the library, those outsiders were like, flooding into our library, I could hardly find the book I needed or a quiet place to sit down. So I think it has nothing to do with how much money you pay, it's just that it will affect students on campus.2020.09.19Imagine that you have been accepted by two different universities, one university is well-known for its excellent academic program, but it's expensive, while another is less well-known, but has offered you with scholarship to pay for your intuition fee. Which university would you prefer? explain why.Personally, I would definitely choose the more well-known school. Although the program is expensive, the chance to get my education is also extremely precious. Most likely I can only attend university for once, and it is important to take full use of that opportunity. Secondly, attending a better school could greatly increase the possibility of finding a better job. If you put it in the long run, the extra tuition would be nothing comparing to what you will earn in the rest of your life, and the value of the education you receive will persist. Lastly, even if there is economic difficulty at the time, there are other ways to resolve it. You can apply for a student loan, or you can simply do a part time job to compensate your expense.2020.09.23Do you agree or disagree with the following statement: it is important for young people to learn domestic skills such as cooking, sewing, caring for childrenActually I do agree with this idea.First of all, learning such life skills could build the young’s responsibility and cultivate their kindness. Take cooking as an example, in my home, when I was a young girl, I and my sisters always took turns helping my mother cook dinner. Sometimes my mother assigned some tasks to us such as defrosting an item or collecting the ingredients from the pantry, and we learned personal responsibility by doing so.Further, these living skills such as sewing, cooking and caring for others help young people to be more independent. All of those skills aren’t taught in school, but every adult has to master those when they live independently.2020.09.27Do you agree or disagree with the following statement: All the university students should be required to learn math and science including those who major in art and music.Although this statement does not sound as reasonable, I actually believe it is a good idea. First, a more comprehensively developed person is clearly more competitive in the society. Having some basic knowledge in math and science and the ability to process related information could benefit everyone, even those who major in art and music. Also, there could be a chance that art and music can be integrated with math and science. In recent years, art exhibitions such as installation shows, digital interactive shows and light shows have become increasingly popular for their uniqueness and the unique experience they create. This requires artists to also understand fields other than just art and music to catch up with the trend and to explore further possibilities.2020.10.14Do you agree or disagree with the following statement: Children should approach computers and other electronic devices as soon as possible?I definitely disagree with this statement.First of all, a lot of children lack the self-discipline to manager their use of electronic devices. Once they get their hands on a smart phone or a tablet, they will start playing games or watching videos with it non-stop.Children can easily get addicted to the devices.In addition, electronic devices are harmful to children's physical and mental health. The constant exposure to the bright screen will damage the eyesight of children. Also, the unfiltered content on the Internet such as violence and vulgarism will bring negative impact to children's mind.2020.10.17When students are reading, some choose the books from the reading list their schools give. Other choose books by themselves. Which do you prefer？Personally, I believe that it’s better for students to choose books by themselves. That’s because students are more likely to expand their horizons. You know, they have the access to different genres of books, such as science fictions, biographies and romances, in which they will be able to find their true passion in reading. Besides, the freedom of choosing the materials they like can inspire their motivations to read. It’s obvious that students are quite busy with their schoolwork every day, dealing with assignments and preparing for midterms and finals. So, students will cherish the opportunity to take a break and enjoy their valuable free time by choosing what they really want to read.2020.10.24If you are given a class taught by two teachers, one teacher is responsible for giving lectures, and the other teachers shoulders the responsibility to give and check assignments. Do youthink such a way effective and why? Give specific explanation in your response.For me, this is not a good idea.First, students may get perplexed about the contents since two professors have their own requirements on identical points. Say, the lecture teacher pays special attention to grammars, while the assignment teacher attaches great importance to logics. It is almost impossible for the students to balance between these two requirements.Even worse, students may get lost and fail in both of them. Second, communication cost is tremendous. Because every single professor is supposed to have tailored scheme on teaching. That means, they have different ways of interpreting the key points and assigning the schoolwork. If they want to co-teach, there will be enormous pressure on talking with each other.2020.10.31Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Employees shouldn't send personal texts or emails during work hours. Explain why.Personally, it depends on different situations. I mean, typically, it’s wise to ban employees from sending personal texts or emails during work hours, because it will definitely affect their work efficiency, especially when they do so continually. While, on the other hand, if it comes to something urgent or special, like, some young mothers, they may need to contact babysitters to keep track of how their babies behave at home. In this situation, I believe it’s quite understandable to allow them to send personal texts or emails, even during work hours. Otherwise, they may not be able to concentrate on their work.2020.11.7Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? All university students should be required to take writing or composition courses in their first year of college even if they are not the field of their study.Well, I think this idea is helpful for first-year students.First, writing skill is critical for study. All universities expect their students to have excellent writing skill. Because of this, most of the assignments, projects and exams are in written form. Taking writing courses is going to assist freshmen to enjoy a smooth transition and lay the foundation for the upcoming study.Second, writing skill plays an essential role in future career, creating a competitive advantage for a worker. Good collaboration requires members of the team to express their ideas articulately. With fantastic writing skill, the worker is able to outperform others. Therefore, in the long run, taking writing courses is rewarding.2020.11.11Some professors prefer to answer students’ questions at any time of the class, other professors prefer to answer questions raised by students at the end of the class, which onedo you prefer and why?I prefer the professor to answer questions at the end of the class. Firstly, the questions raised by the students during the middle of a class may be answered by professor in the lecture itself. So it would be a waste of time to specifically answer questions. Secondly even if the answer of the question is not in the lecture afterwards. A student might not be quite clear about something in the lecture. But most likely, most students understand what the professor said. And thus answering such a question may be waste of time to other students. That is why I prefer the professor to answer questions at the end of the class.2020.11.14Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Good friends always make best roommates.I do not agree. I think good friends do not necessarily make best roommates. First of all being friends is very different from being a roommate. The life we share with our friend is actually very limited. And we often tend to show the best of us during these moments like taking lectures, shopping, hanging out. How you behave in your home might not be as attractive as how you behave outside. Secondly, the most important thing for roommates is to share a same life style. For example, how often do you need to tidy up the room or how timely do you need to clean the dishes or do you smoke or not. Your friend might be okay to be your friend, but that doesn’t mean they can live with you happily.2020.11.15Do you agree or disagree with the following statement?Students learn more when teachers assign a lot of homework.I do not agree that students learn more when teachers assign a lot of homework. Firstly doing more home work doesn’t mean to learn more. Sometimes homework is just repeating the same thing to get you familiar with the knowledge or skill. However, the amount of work people need to achieve that varies from person to person. The abundant homework might be just enough for someone but could be a total waste of time for the others. Secondly to learn more students need to spend their time according to themselves. If all of the time is taken up by the homework students can hardly arrange their time to learn what they think they need to learn.2020.11.21Some people think educational games in group will benefit for students to study. While others think it may disturb students. Which do you prefer？I think educational games in group is beneficial. Firstly, the nature of games can better concentrate the students on the content of the class. Students nowadays are used to getting information through various kinds of media so they may find teacher’s lecturing quite boring. Playing games however can better attract them and help them focus on the class. Secondlyeducational games can better help the students to practice their knowledge so that they can have a better understanding of the things they learned.2020.11.29Do you agree or disagree with the following statement？The professor who have received good evaluations from students should be promoted.I don’t agree with this statement. First of all, the evaluation from student should not be the only criteria universities used to judge a professor.Other things such as academic achievements and research abilities should also be considered. Secondly, if universities promote professors just because of students’ comment there will be a lot of problems. Professors might not be putting their efforts into doing researches, because getting a good comment from students is an easier way to be promoted. They shall only give students good grades easily, or giving them less assignments, which not only compromises the academicpractice but the quality of the education as well.2020.12.2Some people think that those children who do not want to keep learning a musical instrument course should be required to keep learning the course; while others think that those children should be allowed to make decisions by themselves (they can still do exercises by themselves without continuing with the class).What is your opinion and why? Please give specific details to support your opinion.Personally speaking, I think children should be allowed to make decisions by themselves. Forcing children to continue learning a musical instrument in class when they are not interested would be inefficient and a waste of time and money. Take myself as an example. When I was in primary school, I participated in a guitar learning class. All we learned was how to play classic songs, which I found bored shortly. As a result, I didn’t pay attention in classes and even began to hate playing guitar, so I persuaded my parents to quit the class. Before long I became interested in playing pop songs by my idols, and I spent a lot of time practicing those songs by myself. It wasn’t long before I found my interest in guitar again, and now I can play many songs by guitar.2020.12.5When you have a disagreement with your friends, do you prefer to talk it out face to face, or send an email or a text message to solve it?I prefer to talk it out face to face when I have a disagreement with my friends for the following reasons.Firstly, it is easier to solve a disagreement by talking with friends face to face, because face-to-face conversations have more feedbacks. Therefore, when talking face to face, we can quickly reach to a point where all of us agree. Secondly, I think talking face to face is more time-efficient, because it often takes a long time for us to reply others’ emails or messages.。

In this article, we will focus on the speaking section of the TOEIC, specifically the practical conversation component. We will explore the format, content, and strategies for success in the TOEIC speaking section.Section OverviewThe TOEIC speaking section consists of six tasks, including practical conversations, opinion-based talks, and discussions. This section evaluates the test-taker's ability to effectively communicate in spoken English within a professional context.Task 1: Practical ConversationsThe first task of the TOEIC speaking section involves practical conversations. Test-takers are provided with a photograph and must engage in a conversation based on the given prompt. These prompts typically involve everyday situations one might encounter in a professional setting, such as making a reservation, booking a hotel room, or discussing a work-related issue.To excel in this task, it is important to demonstrate effective communication skills, including active listening, responding appropriately,and using appropriate vocabulary and grammar. It is essential to maintain a professional tone and to articulate ideas clearly and concisely.Task 2: Opinion-Based TalksTask 2 requires test-takers to express their opinions on a given topic. They are given 30 seconds to prepare their response, followed by 60 seconds to speak. This task assesses the ability to organize thoughts quickly and deliver a coherent response.To excel in this task, it is important to use logical reasoning and support opinions with examples or personal experiences. Test-takers should aim to speak clearly, at a moderate pace, and utilize a range of vocabulary and grammatical structures to express their ideas effectively.Task 3: Open-Ended ConversationsTask 3 involves open-ended conversations between the test-taker and the examiner. This task simulates real-life interactions in which the test-taker must provide information, offer suggestions, or respond to questions.To succeed in this task, it is important to actively engage in the conversation by asking follow-up questions, seeking clarification, and providing relevant details. Effective communication skills, such as maintaining eye contact and using appropriate body language, are essential in creating a natural and confident conversation.Task 4: Problem-Solving DiscussionsIn Task 4, test-takers are presented with a problem and tasked with discussing possible solutions. They are expected to analyze the situation,identify potential strategies, and make recommendations within the given time limit.To excel in this task, it is crucial to demonstrate critical thinking skills, articulate ideas clearly, and collaborate effectively with the examiner. Test-takers should provide logical and well-supported arguments, and actively listen to the examiner's input, incorporating their ideas into the discussion.Task 5: Proposals and SuggestionsTask 5 requires test-takers to propose a solution to a given problem and support it with reasons and examples. They are given 30 seconds to prepare their response and 60 seconds to present their proposal.To succeed in this task, test-takers should clearly state their proposal, use persuasive language, and logically justify their ideas. It is essential to provide concrete examples and employ appropriate vocabulary and grammar to effectively convey their points.Task 6: Persuasive ArgumentsThe final task of the TOEIC speaking section involves presenting a persuasive argument on a given topic. Test-takers must develop a clear argument and support it with convincing reasons and examples within the allotted time.To excel in this task, it is important to demonstrate strong analytical and persuasive abilities. Test-takers should use persuasive language, employ rhetorical devices, and deliver their arguments confidently. Effective time management is also crucial to ensure all key points are addressed within the time limit.ConclusionThe TOEIC speaking section evaluates test-takers' ability to communicate effectively in real-life situations.

2021年 模拟试题 托业听力阅读口语写作考试样题 含答案及解析
写作考试样题含答案及解析第一部分口语T1Some college students take classes during the summer. Others take the summer off from school, so that they can rest or work at a job. Which do you think is better for students? Explain why.T2Reading：Allow Students to Park in Faculty Parking LotI would like to propose that students who live off campus and drive to school be allowed to park in the employee parking lot behind Messner Hall, which is currently reserved for university faculty. Finding a parking spot near the Classroom buildings is difficult—we often have to drive around looking for a place to park, which makes us late to class. The faculty lot isn’t fully used—I see a lot of empty spaces there in the morning—and so I don’t think it would be inconvenient for the university to also allow students who drive to school to park there.SincerelyGreg MurphyQuestion：The woman expresses her opinion about the proposal described in the letter. Briefly summarize the proposal then state her opinion about the proposal and explain the reasons she gives for holding that opinion.T3Frustration ToleranceWhen young children are not able to accomplish their goals, they may become frustrated and act inappropriately. However, as children mature, they can learn to manage or tolerate frustration. The development of frustration tolerance allows children to continue to work toward completing tasks, even when their initial attempts are unsuccessful. Parents can help their children develop frustration tolerance by deliberately restricting their own responses to their children’s demands for help. By gradually reducing their response time, parents can teach children to manage their frustration while they keep trying to accomplish their goals, despite any difficulties or setbacks that they may encounter.Question：Using the example from the lecture, explain how parents can help their children develop frustration tolerance.T4Question：Using the examples from the lecture, explain two types of animal social groups第二部分听力Section 11.

The bird, which is known only through fossil remains, weighed up to 68 kilograms. There is some debate about whether this bird was able to fly or whether it had lost its ability to fly at some point during its evolution.First, there is the problem of lifting off into the air. Based on its skeleton, the bird's total wingspan was nearly seven meters. Wings this long would have hit the ground if the bird had tried to lift off from a standing position. Modern flying birds have wing-to-body proportions that allow them to take off without hitting the ground with their wings. Second, even if the bird had managed to lift off, it does not appear to have had enough muscle strength to make continuous flight possible. As large as it was, the Argentavis does not appear to have had sufficient muscles to keep its huge wings moving. It is highly improbable that its muscles could move its wings fast enough to keep it in the air for extended periods.Third, according to the theory of evolution, animals only have abilities that give them an advantage in their struggle to survive. Flying would not have given this giant bird any advantage.It did not need to fly in order to escape predators, because of its size it had no predators. It could not use flying to hunt because it would have been such a clumsy and inefficient flier that it could not possibly have captured enough food. The bird, therefore, probably lost the ability to fly during its evolution.独立Do you agree or disagree with the following statement: There is never a good reason to be impolite (rude) to other people.第四部分阅读Artisans in Sixteenth-Century EuropeFor centuries European artisans had operated in small, autonomous handcraft businesses, but by the sixteenth century an evolving economic system—moving toward modern capitalism, with its free-market pricing, new organization of production, investments, and so on—had started to erode their stable and relatively prosperous position. What forces contributed to the decline of the artisan?In a few industries, there appeared technological innovations that costmore to install and operate than artisans—even associations of artisans—could afford. For example, in iron production, such specialized equipment as blast furnaces, tilt hammers, wiredrawing machines, and stamping, rolling, and slitting mills became more familiar components of the industry. Thus, the need for fixed capital (equipment and buildings used in production) soared. Besides these items, expensive in their own right, facilities for water, storage, and deliveries were needed. In addition, pig (raw) iron turned out by blast furnaces could not be forged until refined further in a new intermediate stage. In late sixteenth-century Antwerp, where a skilled worker earned 125 to 250 guilders a year, a large blast furnace alone cost 3,000 guilders, and other industrial equipment was equally or more expensive.Raw materials, not equipment, constituted artisans’ major expense in most traders, however. ■Whereas in 1583 an Antwerp silk weaver paid 12 guilders for a loom (and made small payments over many years to pay off the debt for purchasing the loom), every six weeks he or she had to lay out 24 guilders for the 2 pounds of raw silk required to make a piece of cloth. ■Thus access to cheap and plentiful primary materials was a constant preoccupation for independent producers. ■Using local materials might allow even the poorest among them to avoid reliance on merchant suppliers. ■The loss of nearby sources could therefore be devastating. As silk cultivation waned around the Spanish cities of Cordoba and Toledo, weavers in these cities were forced to becomeemployees of merchants who put out raw silk from Valencia and Murcia provinces. In the Dutch Republic, merchants who imported unprocessed salt from France, Portugal, and Spain gained control of the salt-refining industry once exploitation of local salt marshes was halted for fear that dikes (which held back the sea from the low-lying Dutch land) would be undermined.Credit was necessary for production but created additional vulnerabilities for artisans. Prices for industrial products lagged behind those of raw materials and foodstuffs, and this, coupled with rising taxes, made it difficult for many producers to repay their creditors. Periodic downturns, when food prices shot up and demand for manufactures fell off, drove them further into debt or even into bankruptcy, from which they might emerge only by agreeing to sell their products exclusively to merchants or fellow artisans who extended them loans. Frequent enough during periods of growth, such credit crises became deeper and lasted longer after about 1570, as did war-related disruptions of raw-material supplies and markets.Artisans’ autonomy was imperiled, too, by restrictions on their access to markets. During the sixteenth century, a situation like this often resulted from the concentration of export trade in a few great storage and distribution centers. The disappearance of regional markets where weavers in Flanders (what is now northern Belgium) had previously bought flax and sold linen left them at the mercy of big-city middlemen, who quickly turned them into domesticworkers. In a similar fashion, formerly independent producers in southern Wiltshire in England, who had bought yarn from spinners or local brokers and sold their cloth to merchants in nearby Salisbury, became subject to London merchants who monopolized both wool supplies and woolens exports.With good reason, finally, urban artisans feared the growth of industries in the countryside. For one thing, they worried that the spread of village crafts would reduce their supply of raw materials, driving up prices. City producers also knew that rural locations enjoyed lower living costs, wages, and taxes, and often employed fewer or simplified processes. These advantages became a major preoccupation as competition intensified in the 1570s and 1580s.1. Which of the sentences below best expresses the essential information in the highlighted sentence in the passage? Incorrect choices change the meaning in important ways or leave out essential information.□In the sixteenth century, the European economy moved toward a system of free-market pricing, new ways of production, and investments.□ Before the sixteenth century, European makers of handcrafts enjoyed stability, autonomy, and relative prosperity.□ By the sixteenth century, the rise of capitalism began to weaken the autonomy and relative prosperity of European artisans.□European artisans operated small, autonomous businesses before modern capitalism emerged in the sixteenth century.2. According to paragraph 2, how did technological advances contribute to the economic decline of artisans?□ Artisans had no place to store or use the new machines.□Goods produced by the new technology were cheaper than those produced by artisans.□ The fixed costs of remaining in business became very high.□ Artisans did not know how to use the new machines.3. The word “preoccupation” in the passage is closest in meaning to□ necessity□ concern□ struggle□ uncertainty4. In paragraph 3, why does the author provide the information about an Antwerp silk weaver’s costs in 1583?□ To describe some typical costs in the silk-weaving industry□To support the statement that artisans’ main expense was materials, not equipment□ To argue against the view that artisans did not have to borrow money to buy equipment□ To show that materials were cheap and plentiful for most artisans5. According to paragraph 3, which of the following was sometimes an effect on artisans of the loss of local sources of their primary materials?□ They had to sell their products to merchants.□ They needed to take loans in order to buy the materials from merchants.□They could no longer afford to be independent producers. □ They imported the materials from distant sources.6. According to paragraph 4, all of the following caused economic difficulties for artisans EXCEPT□ decreasing availability of credit□ decreased demand for manufactured goods□ increased taxes□ problems caused by wars7. Paragraph 5 supports which of the following statements about artisans during the sixteenth century?□ They had difficulty transporting their goods to the best markets.□ They were at a disadvantage because the concentration of supplies and exports was in the hands of big-city merchants.□ They received higher wages as employees of big-city merchants.□ They were able to obtain raw materials from local merchants.8. All of the following are identified in paragraph 6 as concerns that urban artisans had about the growth of industry in the countryside EXCEPT□ a decrease in the supply of raw materials□ a cheaper cost of living in the countryside□ a more manageable level of competition□ less complex production processes in the countryside9. Look at the four squares [■] that indicate where the following sentence can be added to the passage.This was possible because when transportation costs were low, the price of rawmaterials was generally also low.Where would the sentence best fit? Cl ick on a square [■] to add the sentence to the passage.10. Directions: An introductory sentence for a brief summary of the passage is provided below. Complete the summary by selecting the THREE answer choices that express the most important ideas in the passage. Some answer choices do not belong in the summary because they express ideas that are not presented in the passage or are minor ideas in the passage. This question is worth 2 points. Drag your choices to the spaces where they belong. To review the passage, click on View Text.Answer choice1. Artisans’ ability to earn profits was restricted by their dependence on creditors, to whom they were forced to sell their goods, and by competition from rural areas.2. As industries came under the control of merchants, artisans lostaccess to cheap raw materials, and they had to borrow money to buy the materials they needed from merchant suppliers.3. In the new industrial system from which skilled artisans were progressively excluded, the quality of manufactured items gradually declined.4. Advances in technology in some industries increased the cost of the equipment, buildings, and facilities that artisans needed for producing and selling their goods.5. Iron production in the sixteenth century depended on new inventions such as blast furnaces, tilt hammers, wire-drawing machines, and stamping, rolling, and silting mills.6. The rising prices of food and other necessities often left artisans without enough money to pay their taxes and other business expenses.Earth’s AtmosphereEarth’s atmosphere has changed through time. Compared to the Sun, whose composition is representative of the raw materials from which Earth and other planets in our solar system formed, Earth contains less of some volatile elements, such as nitrogen, argon, hydrogen, and helium. These elements were lost when the envelope of gases, or primary atmosphere, that surrounded early Earth, was stripped away by the solar wind or by meteorite impacts, or both. Little by little, the planet generated a new, secondary atmosphere by volcanicoutgassing of volatile materials from its interior.Volcanic outgassing continues to be the main process by which volatile materials are released from Earth—although it is now going on at a much slower rate. The main chemical constituent of volcanic gases (as much as 97 percent of volume) is water vapor, with varying amounts of nitrogen, carbon dioxide, and other gases. In fact, the total volume of volcanic gases released over the past 4 billion years or so is believed to account for the present composition of the atmosphere with one important exception: oxygen. Earth had virtually no oxygen in its atmosphere more than 4 billion years ago, but the atmosphere is now approximately 21 percent oxygen.Traces of oxygen were probably generated in the early atmosphere by the breakdown of water molecules into oxygen and hydrogen by ultraviolet light (a process called photo dissociation). Although this is an important process, it cannot begin to account for the present high levels of oxygen in the atmosphere. Almost all of the free oxygen now in the atmosphere originated through photosynthesis, the process whereby plants use light energy to induce carbon dioxide to react with water, producing carbohydrates and oxygen.Oxygen is a very reactive chemical, so at first most of the free oxygen produced by photosynthesis was combined with iron in ocean water to form iron oxide-bearing minerals. The evidence of the gradual transition from oxygen-poor to oxygen-rich water is preserved in seafloor sediments. The minerals inseafloor sedimentary rocks that are more than about 2.5 billion years old contain reduced (oxygen-poor) iron compounds. In rocks that are less than 1.8 billion years old, oxidized (oxygen-rich) compounds predominate. The sediments that were precipitated during the transition contain alternating bands of red (oxidized iron) and black (reduced iron) minerals. These rocks are called banded-iron formations. Because ocean water is in constant contact with the atmosphere, and the two systems function together in a state of dynamic equilibrium, the transition from an oxygen-poor to an oxygen-rich atmosphere also must have occurred during this period.Along with the buildup of molecular oxygen (O2) came an eventual increase in ozone (O3) levels in the atmosphere. ■Because ozone filters out harmful ultraviolet radiation, this made it possible for life to flourish in shallow water and finally on land. ■This critical state in the evolution of the atmosphere was replaced between 1100 and 542 million years ago. ■Interestingly, the fossil record shows an explosion of life forms 542 million years ago.■Oxygen has continued to play a key role in the evolution and form of life. Over the last200 million years, the concentration of oxygen has risen from 10 percent to as much as 25 percent of the atmosphere, before setting (probably not permanently) at its current value of 21 percent. This increase has benefitedmammals, which are voracious oxygen consumers. Not only do we require oxygen to fuel our high-energy, warm-blooded metabolism, our unique reproductive system demands even more. An expectant mother’s used (venous) blood must still have enough oxygen in it to diffuse through the placenta into her unborn child’s bloodstream. It would be very difficult for any mammal species to survive in an atmosphere of only 10 percent oxygen.Geologists cannot yet be certain why the atmospheric oxygen levels increased, but they have a hypothesis. First, photosynthesis is only one part of the oxygen cycle. The cycle is completed by decomposition, in which organic carbon combines with oxygen and forms carbon dioxide. But if organic matter is buried as sediment before it fully decomposes, its carbon is no longer available to react with the free oxygen. Thus there will be a net accumulation of carbon in sediments and of oxygen in the atmosphere.1. In paragraph 1, why does the author state that Earth has less nitrogen, argon, hydrogen, and helium than the Sun?▢ To argue that these elements were once part of an early atmosphere, which disappeared▢To suggest that these elements were drawn into the Sun’s atmosphere▢To provide evidence that Earth’s original atmosphere came primarily from meteorites▢To support the claim that Earth’s atmosphere would have changed even moreif it had contained more volatile elements2. According to paragraph 2, the history of volcanic outgassing cannot explain which of the following?▢ The lack of oxygen in the atmosphere 4 billion years ago▢ The amount of water vapor in the atmosphere today▢ The proportions of nitrogen and carbon dioxide in the atmosphere today ▢ The present abundance of oxygen in the atmosphere3. Paragraph 3 suggests which of the following about the process of Photo dissociation?▢ It is more common today than it was in the early history of the atmosphere.▢ It is responsible for only a small amount of the oxygen in the atmosphere today.▢It removes trace amounts of oxygen from the atmosphere. ▢It produces more free oxygen than photosynthesis does.4. The word “gradual” in the passage is closest in meaning to▢ critical▢ original▢ beneficial▢ slow5. Which of the sentences below best expresses the essential information in the highlighted sentence in the passage? Incorrect choices change the meaning。

I mean, I can buy it from the newsstand on my way to work, but I like to read it while I eat breakfast. I’ve got to say, I’m really disappointed that I’ve been paying extra for delivery, and now you’re delivering it late. You know, I feel like canceling my subscription to your newspaper.

This is Sally Jones, circulation manager, returning your call. I got your message about the late delivery of your daily newspaper. I’m sorry that you are not receiving your newspaper at a convenient time for you. I’m afraid that the usual delivery person has been off sick, and his replacement is still not used to the route and may not realize what time your paper should be delivered. I have spoken to him, and he assures me that he will deliver your paper by 7:00 a.m. from now on. As you are a long-standing customer, I have also arranged to give you two weeks’ free delivery.

Which approach do you prefer? Explain why.正确答案：I would rather have a life with change and new experiences. First of all, having new experiences is very challenging, and we can learn new things, which improves our self-confidence. Another reason is that without new things life can become very boring and monotonous. It is good to have something different to look forward to. For example, going on vacation to a new place is exciting, or joining a new club is a good way of making new friends. Although working or living abroad for a short time could be quite a challenge, it would also make you more open-minded and knowledgeable. On the other hand, sometimes it is good to have some routine in our lives. It can give you a sense of security when you know that things are going to be the same. Having a steady job gives you financial security, so if you want to buy a car, for example, you know that you can pay back the loan. Having said that, personally I would prefer to have some adventure in my life, so I would choose to have a life with change and new experiences.。

托业(口语)表达观点练习试卷1(题后含答案及解析)
托业（口语）表达观点练习试卷1(题后含答案及解析) 题型有： 6. Express an opinionExpress an opinion In this part of the test, you will give your opinion about a specifi c topic. Be sure to say as much as you can in the time allowed. You will have 15 seconds to prepare. Then you will have 60 seconds to speak.1．There is a plan to hold the Olympics near your town. Do you support or oppose this idea? Use reasons and examples to explain your choice.正确答案：I oppose the plan to hold the Olympics near my town. First of all, my town does not have enough facilities to host a big sports event. I come from a small town, and we only have one swimming pool and a small stadium. Also, the town would have to do a lot of building to provide the facilities. This would be good for local businesses, but where would the money come from? We would have to pay higher taxes to pay for it. I think my taxes are high enough, and I don’t want to pay more. Finally, I’m not really interested in sports, so I wouldn’t want to see anything. 涉及知识点：表达观点2．Some people believe private cars should be banned from downtown areas. Do you agree or disagree? Use reasons and examples to explain your choice.正确答案：I agree that cars should be banned from downtown areas. The first reason is because cars cause so much pollution. If people couldn’t use their cars, then they would use public transportation more. This would help make the environment much cleaner. The second reason is that without a car, you would have to walk more. Walking keeps you fit and healthy. So not using your car is not only good for the environment, but also good for you. Finally, lots of people live downtown. Life would be better for them without cars. The air would be cleaner, and it wouldn’t be as noisy or dangerous. 涉及知识点：表达观点3．Would you rather play an individual sport or a team sport? Use specific reasons to support your answer.正确答案：I would rather play team sports. First, when you play with a team, you have to rely on other team members and you have to build up trust with other people. Also, because you trust each other more, you make deeper friendships and get to know people better. Because you have the same interest, your friendship could last longer. Finally, as a team member, you could have the opportunity to visit other cities or regions, or even other countries. 涉及知识点：表达观点。
