TPO27Task 3：Now listen to two students discussing the article.(woman) Oh, no, did you see this?(man) Yeah, why? You don't like the idea?(woman) Not at all!(man) How come?(woman) Well, the cost, for one thing, they are just not being realistic.(man) Even compare to the price of textbooks?(woman) Well, sure, textbooks aren't cheap, but do you think people are only gonna use one device the whole time they are at university? What happens if yours breaks? You have to buy a new one. Or they come out with some fancy new features.Wouldn't you want to get a new one then?(man) Yeah, I see what you mean. A lot of people would probably want to replace theirs with the latest version.(woman) Right! Maybe even every year and that can add up.(man) True, but, don't you agree it'll make studying and preparing for classes a lot easier?(woman) I don’t think everybody is gonna think it’s so great.(man) What do you mean?(woman) Well., it’s only helpful if it’s easy to use and, well, this thing is pretty small. It’s only about 18 or 20 centimeters tall.(man) Oh, really? So that means the screen’s pretty small.(woman) Right, and I heard that the key pad or control buttons, they are small, too. So if you have normal-sized fingers, it’s not so easy to select an item or get it to function right, you know, to do stuff like highlighting or underlining.(man) I hadn't thought of that.(woman) So what good are all those fancy features if it’s hard to use them? Besides, I like the old-fashioned way of studying material: writing notes on the page and underlining or highlighting important sections of the book. I'm more comfortable with that.The woman expresses her opinion about the university s plan. Briefly summarize the plan then state her opinion and explain the reasons she gives for holding that opinion.Task 4：Now listen to a lecture on this topic in a biology class.(male professor)OK, we can see a great example of this with ants. Ants live in large groups called colonies. They normally move together to get to food sources. And sometimes whenthe ants are moving toward food source, they'll encounter, find an obstacle in their path. So, for instance, let’s say a large number of ants are walking on a tree toward some food on a branch. But when they reach the end of the branch they are walking on, there's a wide space between that branch and the next one, the branch with the food on it. Now, none of these ants alone can cross this wide space to get to the other branch with the food. So, how did they solve this problem?Here’s how: one ant walks forward until it reaches the end of the branc h and then automatically holds onto the branch with its back legs. Then it stretches its body forward into the open space. Now, this comes naturally to ants and it’s a simple action. So then the next ant walks to the end of the branch and right across the first ant’s body. Then it holds onto the first ant and then it stretches its body out into the open space, just a little bit closer to the branch with the food on it.Then, one after another, other ants do the same thing until enough ants connect together to form a bridge between the two branches. Pretty amazing, huh? The connected ants hold this position allowing the rest of the ants in the group to cross over this bridge of ants to reach the food.Explain how the example from the lecture illustrates the concept of swarm intelligence.Task 5：Listen to a conversation between two English professors.(man) Hi, Nancy, is something the matter?(woman) Oh, I just realized that I've got a scheduling conflict tomorrow.(man) What is it?(woman) Wel l, the poetry class I’m teaching meets at 4 o’clock. My students have a test next week so tomorrow's class is the review session. It's important.(man) OK?(woman) The other thing is my cousin’s retirement party. But I just realized it also starts at 4 o'clock. I haven't realized it was starting at the exact same time as my class.(man) Oh, no! Well, I’m free tomorrow at 4, if you want, I could cover your class for you. Lead the review session.(woman) Really? What a generous offer!(man) I wouldn’t mind. I mean, I haven’t taught poetry for a few years. I am a little rusty.(woman) Well, I have some materials prepared and you could certainly use them. So it might be tough but you could do it.(man) I'll try anyway.(woman) Well, my other option is to go to the class. Do the review session myself and arrive late at the retirement party.(man) So you could prepare your students for the test yourself.(woman) I could and I know it’d be good for my students. It’s just that I’d miss a lot of th e party. My cousin and some others are giving speeches and I think it’ll be really interesting. It’ll be a shame to miss it.Briefly summarize the problem the professors are discussing. Then state which of the two solutions form the conversation you would recommend. Explain the reasons for your recommendation.Task 6：Listen to part of a lecture in a history class.(female professor)So, most cities of the ancient world tended to be small, often limited to the banks of a river. They had very little means to expand. These old cities couldn’t really cross natural barriers like rivers or be located very far from water sources. But Roman cities, on the other hand, grew much larger. How did this happen? Well, for one thing, the Romans had more advanced technology. Let's look at a couple of Roman developments that allowed its cities to expand.One development that'll allow Roman cities to grow was their advanced building materials. The Romans developed a special kind of concrete, a building material that would harden under water. And this concrete made new kinds of structures possible.Take their bridges for example. Because of this special concrete, they could build better bridges, bridges that could go across wide rivers, bridges that were big enough to transport equipment and materials with wagons and carts. So with these strong bridges, Roman cities could grow on both sides of the river, creating larger cities than would have been possible otherwise.Another development that helped Roman cities expand was an improved way to move fresh clean water. People need access to fresh water and the Romans created an especially effective way to bring it to them. They built structures called aqueducts. Now, aqueducts are series of openchannels, waterways that stretch from water sources high in the mountains to cities. They were carefully planned and built so the steady drop in altitude provides the steady flow of water to cities. These aqueducts could move tremendous amount of water over great distances and even bring fresh water to places far from rivers. Because of this, people could have clean water for drinking and bathing without being located near a river. So cities were able to grow larger in new locations.Using the examples from the lecture, explain two developments that allowed ancient Roman cities to expand.。

Brieflysummarize the proposal. Then state his opinion about the proposal and explain thereasons he gives for holding that opinion.Task 4 ：Now listen to part of a lecture in a psychology class.ProfessorSo a good example of this is something that happened to me. When I was younger, Ihad an office job and I worked there every day during the week.And I made a regular salary from that. But also I worked as a waiter at a restaurant each weekend, so I made some money from doing that.Now, around this time, I decided I wanted to buy a house. So every time I got my regular paycheck from my job at the office, I’d save as much of the money from it as I could after I bought the basic stuff I needed. But with the money I made as a waiter that was another story. Somehow I guess that money seemed separate from themoney I earned at my regular job. So I used the money I made at the restaurant to go out to dinner, to buy videos or CDs, things I didn’t really need.But the thing is, it ended up taking me a really long time to save up all the money I needed to buy the house. And looking back now, I realize I could have bought the house a lot sooner if only I had saved more of the money I made working at the restaurant.Using the examples from the professor's lecture, explain the concept of mental accounting.Task 5 ：Listen to a conversation between two students.Male Student: Hey.

But I am not sure what to do about picking her up from the airport.Male Student: What do you mean?Female Student: Well, her flight gets in tomorrow. But the problem is, my biology professor scheduled a special review session…uh…for an upcoming biology exam atthe same time I am supposed to pick her up. I didn’t know there’d be this conflict. Male Student: Oh. Well, how important is the review session? Do you think you canmiss it to pick your grandmother up?Female Student: It’s optional. But this professor’s review sessions are usually really helpful, he does a good job going over what’s going to be on the exam. So it wouldbe good to go, but… maybe I’ll have to miss it.Male Student: Is there something else you could do?Female Student: Yeah. Actually I spoke with my friend Mary and she offered to pickmy grandma up from the airport.Male Student: Great. Why don’t you do that then?Female Student: Maybe. But Mary doesn’t even know my grandmother. And I don’tknow how grandma would feel about being picked up by a stranger. She’d probablybe more comfortable being picked up by me.Male Student: Oh. Well…Briefly summarize the problem the speakers are discussing. Then state which of thetwo solutions from the conversation you would recommend. Explain the reasons foryour recommendation.Task 6 ：Listen to part of a lecture in a Biology class.ProfessorEven though it’s cold and snow-covered, the Arctic houses many species of animalsthat manage to survive the harsh conditions there. These Arctic animals have adapted to the extremely cold temperatures primarily because of certain body features thathelp them to survive in the coldArctic climate. Let’s look at a few of them.For one thing, many Arctic animals have developed a protective covering on theirfeet. The covering usually consists of fur or feathers which act as a protective layer between the cold and the animals’ skin. Since they spend so much of their time onsnowy, icy surfaces, whether they are standing on the ground or swimming in thewater, they can easily lose heat through their feet. This is especially true of Arctic birds. A bird like the Arctic Snowy Owl, for example, has feathers on its body theway other birds do. But unlike most birds, it also has feathers all over its feet. This shields and protects the feet from the icy ground so that very little of the owl’s foot actually touches snowy or icy surfaces, which helps its feet to stay warm. The above text is a transcript of this lecture prepared by lady&bird .Another physical characteristic that some Arctic animals share is having smallerbodies and smaller, shorter body parts. In other words, their bodies are often morecompact than oth er animals’. And the parts of their bodies that stick out or protrudelike the legs, ears or tails are smaller and shorter. And the result is that there is less body surface exposed to the cold air. A great example is the Arctic wolf. Unlike the larger grey wolves that live in warmer climates, Arctic wolves have relatively small, compact bodies that efficiently retain heat. They also have smaller ears and shorter legs so that they lose less body heat than animals with larger bodies or longer bodyparts. And in the climate where the temperature is below zero most of the year, that’s very important.Using the example of the owl and the wolf, explain how two special body featureshave helped Arctic animals adapt to the cold.。

托福口语素材积累
1 早上学习还是下午学习I prefer studying in the morning because when I just get up, I have a clear and fresh mind. It is easier for me to be more focused. However, if I study in the afternoon, I would feel sleepy and tired. Last time, our professional assigned us to write a paper in one week about ten pages. Every morning I got up very early like six o’clock and I begin to work on my paper. I just really got high e fficiency writing the paper because I could totally concentrate on my paper. and then it only took me several days to finish my paper on time. What’s more, if I study in the morning then I can use the afternoon time to do other thing s like, doing sports, going out with friends, reading books and so on. It is a good way to use time.2. 图书馆，家还是宿舍I prefer studying in the library because in a library I can check some reference books when I am writing my paper. And, to be honest, when I studying at home or dormitory, it just seems so easy for me to get distracted. Like, I remember last time when was I was about to write a paper. I just went to the school library, it's very convenient for me to check reference books and journals. It provided me great convenience to write my paper. What’s more, I think the library is very quiet, no one can talk or walk around. I can totally keep my eyes on the ball. That’s why I prefer studying in the library.3.speak out还是quietly observe in the classI prefer to speak out in class because my problems can be solved immediately if I can communicate with the professor directly. However, if I observe quietly, I guess it would be much easier for me to get distracted and forget my problems after class. Now, I am a university student who majors in business management. And I take different courses, like business management, counting, marketing and so on. In the class, every time when I have some problems, I will raise my hands waiting to be caught to raise my questions because my professor can help mu solve the problems immediately. It’s very efficient. It can help me understand the whole class. So that’s why I think speaking out in class is much better.4. work in the group or aloneI prefer to work in a group because we can solve the problem together. However, if I work alone, I guess it would be much easier for me to get distracted. I remember, last time, our professional assigned us to write a paper in one week about ten pages. I decided to write a paper with my partner. During the process, we can do a lot of things together, like searching for information, finding the topic, writing the outline and something like that. We could get high efficiency in writing our papers and when we encounter some problems, we can solve them together. See, that’s why I prefer to working in a group.5把暑假分开Disagree. Because it is a waste of time. I mean I can’t use the whole summer to do things I enjoy. Last summer vacation, I had a two-month holiday. I could use the time to travel to different palces.Like, I went to Hongkong, I spent about 15 days there. During the process, I did a lot of things to know better about the city and people there, such as visiting museums, eating local foods, visiting the Disney land and so on. However, if I had shorter breaks throughout the year in summer vacation, I can’t do those things.6本国室友还是外国室友I prefer to have a roommate from my own country because it is easier for us to get along well. I mean we have a lot in common. However, if I have a foreign roommate, it may be not easier for us to understand each other well because we have some cultural differences. For example, now I study in Beijing far away from my hometown and I live with my roommates. We come from the same country. So it is easier to communicate with each other. Like last week, the toffee test example. In our own language; understand me well; encourage me.7成功靠天赋还是努力I believe that people can achieve success through hard work because practice makes perfect. However, natural talent can be wasted. Taking me as an example.Public speaking example8成功要读大学吗I agree with the statement…because college education is very important. It can let you learn a lot of knowledge and make friends withpeople who have talents. (大学教育重要性语料库)9大家庭还是小家庭I think it’s better to grow up in a large family because you have more family members to rely on. However, growing up in a small family is pretty lonely. Lucy me, I grow up in a large family. I have two sisters and one brother. Every time when I feel stressed out and tired, I will call them for help, especially my brother. Like last week toffer test. See growing in a large family is such a lucky thing.10 大学教育更加重要现在I agree with the statement that …in the past, the quality of collage was not so good. But now college really provides very a good platform for people to learn knowledge. (大学教育重要性语料库) I guess in the past the education quality of university was not so good.11大学生可以带笔记本电脑Simply because we need a laptop. It can boost our efficiency in study. take myself as a example.是学生——学生作业多——教授布置paper about ten pages in only a week. I use my laptop to write the paper. It is very efficient. I can use my computer to do a lot of things , such as 查资料、看电子书、写大纲and so on. You know what, I just finished my work in time in high quality. What’s more, by using computer, we can communicate with your family and friends, asking them questions, even sending an email to your professors.12 动物园博物馆还是教室学习It can develop their interest in learning things. However, if they always study in the traditional classroom, to be honest, I think sometimes it’s very boring. +艺术. It really boost my interest in arts. I think it is a good way to learn knowledge.13动物园是对动物好I think the zoo is beneficial to some animals because in the zoo it provides a great environment for animals to live and survive. I mean the government really attaches great attention to protect animals in our country. Like last time, pandas example. In the zoo, people can learn more about animals, so it can improve the relationship between people and animals and strengthen people’s awareness of protecting animals.14父母是最好的老师I agree the statement that…because we spent a lot of time together and we look up to them. And we try to imitate their altitude and behaviors. Take my parents as example. They have great influence on me. 在遥远地方求学，有问题找父母。

I made a to-do list in order to get high efficiency in study.According to the list, i did a lot of things, such as searching for information online, reading e-books, and writing the outline. In the end, i finished the essay on time with high quality.艺术Learning art is very important, because it can develop creative thinking, broaden the mind and feed the soul. When i was in high school, my favorite subject is painting class. Our painting teacher often took us to the art galleries or museumsto watch some art exhibitions. I learned a lot of background knowledge and skills about painting pictures, such as how to structure the pic and how to match the color. What 's more, i also appreciated some masterpieces from some great artists, such as Van Gogh, Picasso and so on.节约时间Time is very precious for students, because you need to deal with a lot of things. Especially now, i need to prepare for this TOEFL teat and deal with my final exam. I really feel exhausted and stressed out. Therefore, i don't have time to...i would rather save the time to do some other meaningful things, such as doingsports,studying or even sleeping.工作艰辛You know what, being a ...is not an easy thing, because everyday you need to spend a lot of time doing..., such as,...,and ... take my friend Fancy as an example, she is a.. she works very hard everyday in order to... i really admire her from the bottle of my heart. Without .. 's work, we can 't.. 兼职I think doing part time job is a good way for us to accumulate some practical working experience. Last year, i had an internship in a local company. It was a great experience for me, coz i learned some useful knowledge and skills, such as time management, teamwork, organization, customer service and so on. All these can lay a solid foundation for my future career. Also, i can make some money by doing part-time job.动物保护I think it 's very important to protect the endangered species, because if a speciesgoes extinct, it 's lost forever. Last summer vacation, i went to a wild zoo in Sicilian. I saw a lot of lovely panda there. Panda is a kind of endangered species, and the government should do something to protect it, such as building protected lands, planting more trees, improving breeding techniques and so on. In this way, it can provide a favorable environment for pandas to live. I really hope that my grand children or grand grand children can still see the real, cute pandas.效率Getting high efficiency is very important, because it enables to you get more things done in a short time. I 'm a university student who has a lot of schoolwork to do, so i need to make sure getting high efficiency in study. I usually... to help myself keep my mind on study. In this way, i can be totally focused and concentrated.丰富人生Doing .. can help me enrich my knowledge and experience. That 's the point of life, right? I mean, life is short! We should make full use of every opportunity to experience new things. I really want to experience different things in my life. For eg.. 公共场合不礼貌，噪音It 's very important for people to enhance the public awareness. For example, we shouldn 't make any loud noise in public area, because everyone deserves the right to have a quiet environment. Last Friday afternoon, i was studying in the school library, coz the final exam was coming. You know what, a guy who sat next to me was talking loudly on the phone. He made a lot of noise, and i couldn 't focus on my study. I just got distracted. It 's so annoying! I think this kind of behavior is impolite and rude.课堂讨论“ more hands make for lighter work. two head”s a“re better than one.”Group discussion is very beneficial for students because two heads are better than one. When participate in group discussion, students can work together to solve some difficult problems. What 's more, participation can add interest and engage students. Once, our business professor asked us to do a project, then my partners and i discussed it together. We could learn from each others different perspectives,solve the problems together efficiently. In the end, we did a great job in the project.独立生活When i was a little kid, my parents taught me some life skills to cultivate my independence. For example, like, um, when i got 6? they taught me how to do some basic housework,such as doing laundry, washing dishes, vacuuming the floor and so on. Now, i am studying in a city which is far away from my hometown, but i can totally take care of myself and live independently. It 's not adifficult thing for me to adapt to the university life. Now, i am planing to learn how to cook, coz eating home-make food is healthier and economical.Task 3 校园综合题阅读一个主题（学校政策、学生建议信）The university plans to ..because..and..The letter proposes that...because..and..听力一个态度、两个原因The woman/man in the conversation agrees/disagrees with this proposal/plan.

She shouldn 'ttake it.3、某个地方拥挤吵闹..is full of people and noise, so it 's not an ideal condition for her to study. She can't be totally focused in this kind of noisy and crowded environment.

【威学教育】Fancy托福口语TPO-25听力文本
TPO25Task 3：Now listen to two students discussing the article.(woman) You know, I wish they wouldn’t do this.(man) Why?(woman) Well, I think it’s unnecessary, I mean, as far as the first reason goes. Yeah, sure, it takes a long time to have everyone receive their diploma individually, especially now that there are more students, but there's an easy way to make it shorter.(man) What's that?(woman) Reduce the number of speeches. I mean, a lot of people give speeches, students, professors, administrators, the president of the university. Do we really need that many speeches?(man) Probably not, and a lot of the speeches are pretty boring anyway, so, yeah, we probably could cut out a few.(woman) Yeah, and I don't think their second reason's very good either, about the space.(man) How's that?(woman) The problem isn’t the size of the hall. It’s that they allow s tudents to invite too many people to come and watch. All they need to do is reduce the number of guests each graduating student gets to invite.(man) Yeah, I guess that could solve the problem.(woman) Yeah, I mean, right now each graduating student can invite up to ten people. That's too many. At most schools, students only get to invite like four or five people. It we just said, “OK, you can only invite six people.” That’ll still be more than most other schools and the ceremony could stay the way it is.The woman expresses her opinion about the university’s plan. Briefly summarize the plan. Then state her opinion and explain the reasons she gives for holding that opinion.Task 4：Now listen to part of a lecture from a sociology class.(male professor)Now, the invention of the telephone was revolutionary. It was a much easier and faster way of communicating than anything else available at the time. However, when the telephone first became widely available, towards the end of the 19th century, only businesses used telephones because businesses realized how the telephone could benefit them, how it could help them be more productive.But, a lot of people in the general public didn't think the phone should be used forpersonal communication. Some people didn’t like to listen to someone’s voice without being able to see them. Also, a lot of people thought that it was rude to call someone on the telephone instead of visit them in person. They missed the sense of personal connection they got from meeting someone.However, as we all know, people gradually changed their minds about the telephone. It took about 30 years but eventually most homes came to have telephones and everyone came to depend on them. Talking to someone you couldn't see began to seem more normal. Friends began to call each other just to chat, just for fun. And after everyone agreed on certain rules of politeness, such as not calling someone late at night, no one considered it rude anymore to make personal phone calls.Using the example of the telephone, explain the concept of cultural lag.Task 5：Listen to a conversation between two students.(woman) Hey, Frank, how's it going?(man) Well, I just found out my roommate Jim is moving out of our off-campus apartment into a bigger place with a whole bunch of friends next semester.(woman) Oh, really?(man) Yeah, (woman) Does this mean you’ll be living by yourself next semester?(man) Yeah, but that's OK cause I really want to live alone next semester anyway. I have to concentrate on my senior project for the history department. I have a lot to write and I don't want any distractions. The only major problem, though, is how I'll be getting to campus.(woman) Oh, yeah?(man) See, the apartmen t’s a little far from campus and Jim has a car and he gives me rides to and from campus everyday. But I can't afford a car now.(woman) So have you thought about taking public transportation, uh, the bus to campus?(man) Yeah, I have. The thing is that there’s no bus going directly to campus from that part of town. I’d have to change buses a couple of times on the way.(woman) I see. That could take a lot of time.(man) Right!(woman) Hmm, well, maybe you should move back into a dormitory on campus. Request a single room. There’s lots of them.(man) Yeah, I thought about that. You know, I could live alone and get my work done but, I don’t know, I would miss my apartment.(woman) I know, but you've got to make some choice.Briefly summarize the problem the speakers are discussing. Then state which of the two solutions from the conversation you would recommend. Explain the reasons for your recommendation.Task 6：Listen to part of a lecture in a geology class.(female professor)Rocks ne ar the Earth’s surface are directly exposed to elements in the environment such as air and water, and also to conditions such as temperature change as well as to living organism. And this exposure to the environment can actually cause even huge rocks to break into smaller pieces. This process is called weathering. Let's talk about a couple ways weathering occurs.First of all, rocks are often exposed to water. In cold wet environments rocks can break due to water freezing inside of them. How does this happen? Well, as I am sure you know, when water freezes it expands and over time this can lead to weathering. Um, imagine a rock with a small opening or crack in it. It rains and water gets into the crack and stays there. Then, at night, the temperature drops and water inside the crack freezes. This growing, expanding ice pushes outward on either side of the crack causing it to get slightly bigger. When this happens again and again, the crack becomes larger and eventually pieces of the rock break off.OK, weathering can also be caused by plants, by a plant growth. If a plant seed gets blown into the crack of a rock, it may take root. And its root will grow down into the rock. The plant’s roots can cause the rock to break down, uh, fracture. You may have seen this with large trees growing on top of a rock, a great example of this. Usually there's enough dirt in a crack of a rock or on top of a rock to allow a tree to start growing there. As the tree grows over the years, the tree’s roots extend downward into th e crack and crevasses of the rock in search of water and nutrients. Over time, the roots get bigger and grow deeper, widening and enlarging the cracks, causing the rock to break apart.Using point and examples from the lecture, explain two ways weathering occurs.。

【威学教育】Fancy托福口语TPO-20听力文本
TPO20Task 3：Now listen to two students discussing the article.(woman) What on earth is the university thinking?(man) Huh? What do you mean?(woman) Well, those buildings aren’t just used for classes. That’s where my evening study group usually meets.(man) Oh, of course, that’s true. But you could go to the library instead.(woman) Yeah, but the library only has a few rooms that people can use for group meetings which is why classrooms are so convenient. But now, if it’s winter and cold, where can we go?(man) Right! In the middle of winter, forget it! Or even it’s just kind of cold out. (woman) It’d be pretty unpleasant.(man) Oh, but still, they obviously have to do something about the situation.(woman) Oh, I agree. They have to do something but they should find a solution that isn’t so disruptive, to academics no less.(man) Such as?(woman) Well, for one, if they replaced all those old windows, they are so drafty. They let the cold in. And if they insulated the buildings better, these are really old buildings. Charming, but,(man) But not at all energy-efficient, yeah, you're probably right.(woman) There're some really basic improvements they can make that'll make a huge difference in the long term that can solve the problem and still leave us somewhere to study.The woman expresses her opinion about the plan described in the article. State her opinion and explain the reasons she gives for holding that opinion.Task 4：Now listen to part of a lecture on this topic in a business management class.(male professor)OK, so we’ve been talking about starting a business. Let’s say I want to open up a pizza restaurant. Well, I know how tough it is to make a new business succeed. And I want a sure thing, so I contact the big company that owns a chain of pizza places. Let’s say it’s called, “Pizza Town.” And I pay for the rights to call my restaurant Pizza Town and to sell Pizza Town's special, one of a kind, pizza.Now, since everyone has heard of Pizza Town, it's really popular, I don't have to worry about whether people would want to eat my pizza or not, I already know this pizza will sell well because it's a known thing. And that means there's a better chance my business will succeed.Now, in exchange for being able to call my restaurant Pizza Town, I have to agree to run the business the Pizza Town way. And Pizza Town trains me to do this. They show me how to do everything, how to make my pizzas taste like Pizza Town pizzas, how to advertise, even how to make my store look like a Pizza Town.Now, this means that I don’t have a lot of freedom or choice in the way I run my business. But in a lot of ways, this is great for me. After all, Pizza Town’s way generally works. They sell a lot of pizza.Using the example given by the professor, explain how franchising works.Task 5：Now listen to a conversation between two students of biology.(man) Are you still working in Professor Green’s laboratory?(woman) Yeah, he’s been supervising my research on eating behavior in mice.(man) Sounds interesting.(woman) It’s fascinating. I’ve got a few more observations and experiments to do. It’s another three month of work and I’ll start writing my paper.(man) Wow! Sounds like it’ll be a great paper.(woman) Thanks, I hope so. There’s a problem, though.(man) What?(woman) Professor Green has been invited to teach at a university in France for a semester. And obviously, I still need a lot of help with the project.(man) Hum, what are you gonna do?(woman) Well, Professor Green suggested Professor Baker that I can work with another.(man) Oh, I’ve heard of her. Professor Baker is quite famous.(woman) Yeah, but I don’t know her at all. And my research isn’t in her area of expertise. She works with fish, my works on mice, not exactly the best match.(man) Well, you’ll get to know her eventually. And she’s a great biologist. So she’ll still be able to help you even if your topic isn’t exactly her specialty. She may give you some new perspective on your work.(woman) I know, I’m considering it, but still, I’m thinking about asking Professor Green if he could advise me long-distance.(man) That’s a thought! You think he’d do it?(woman) He probably would. But I don’t know if it’s a good idea. I mean, he could always look at my data and read my write-ups through email. But the thing is, he wouldn’t be here to supervise my experiments.(man) Yeah, well, I’m sure you’ll figure out the best thing to do.Briefly summarize the woman s problem, then state which solution you would recommend. Explain the reasons for your recommendation.Task 6：Now listen to part of a lecture in a psychology class.(female professor)When people are in difficult situations sometimes they experience feelings of helplessness, or psychological pain. So what do they do? They unconsciously use a strategy called, defense mechanisms, to protect themselves psychologically from their painful emotions.Oh, let’s say a woman has a pet dog. She’s had this dog for a long time and he’s kept her company and guarded her for years. But one day he runs away. This woman looks everywhere, and asks other people if they've seen her dog. But she just can't find him.Now, she feels helpless and sad because she misses her dog. So she'll unconsciously find ways to deal with her painful feelings.One defense mechanism she might use is fantasy. With fantasy, the woman uses her imagination so instead of just feeling helpless and sad about her lost dog, she invents a happy story in her mind. She might imagine that, uh, a nice family found him and feeds him and that he’s really happy with them. She’ll picture the dog playing,running around, having fun. Because of this fantasy, she doesn't have to feel sad about her dog running away. It's a fantasy, it's not real, but it keeps her pain away.Another defense mechanism she might use is what we call, sublimation. Sublimation is different from fantasy because sublimation isn't about pretending. It's about turning negative emotions into something useful, practical. So, uh, the woman might start a dog training school. That way, by training dogs, perhaps she can help prevent other people's dogs from running away like hers did. In other words, with sublimation as a defense mechanism, the woman redirects her negative feelings about losing her dog into a positive, constructive activity.Using points and examples from the talk, describe the two defense mechanisms mentioned by the professor.。

Michael Jordan was cut from his high school basketball team, and he lost hundreds of games and missed thousands of shots during his career. But he once said, "I have failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed."因为在这个世界上，最最成功的人们往往也经历过最多的失败。

【威学教育】Fancy托福口语TPO-15听力文本
TPO 15Task 3:Now listen to two students discussing the letter.(woman) Hey, Ted, you’re a runner. Did you see this letter in the paper?(man) Yeah, I did, and I use those.(woman) And?(man) I think it’s a terrible idea.(woman) How come?(man) Well, she really hasn’t thought it through. Like, the thing about making them safer, what’s she’s not thinking about is the long-term consequence of running on a hard surface.(woman) What do you mean?(man) I mean, it’s not good for you. It’s too hard on your bones and joints. If you run repeatedly on hard surface, it can lead to injuries or, that’s what I’ve been taught anyway, it’s b etter to run on a soft surface. It does less damage to your body.(woman) Oh, I wasn’t aware of that.(man) Yeah, so actually it wouldn’t be safer. And her second point…(woman) About changing the way they look?(man) Yeah, I don’t think people wil l like it.(woman) So they’d use them less?(man) Yeah, I mean, one of the main reasons people enjoy them now was it's a way of taking a break from the rest of the campus, from buildings and streets and stuff. It’s, you know, a chance like you’re out i n the nature.(woman) Oh, so you wouldn’t bet that effect anymore.(man) Right! It’d be just like you’re on a regular street or sidewalk. It wouldn’t be as relaxing.The man expresses his opinion about the proposal in the student s letter. Briefly summarize the proposal. Then state the man's opinion about the proposal and explain the reasons he gives for holding that opinion.Task 4：Now listen to part of a lecture on this topic in a psychology class.(male professor)For example, I recently read about a case in which a researcher was given two groups of monkeys and he was asked to train these monkeys to pick up a ball and put it in a box, and he was told to record how many hours it took to train each monkey to learn to do this.Now, before he started the training, the researcher was told that one group of monkeys was highly intelligent and the other group was less intelligent. In truth, therewas no difference between them. All the monkeys were actually very similar in terms of intelligence. But the researcher didn’t know that. He thought one group was smarter, so he expected that group would be easier to train.So, what happened? Well, the researcher trained the monkeys to perform the action, and it turned out that, on average, it took him two hours less time to train the supposedly smart monkeys than the supposedly less intelligent monkeys. Why? Well, it turns out that with the supposedly smart monkeys the researcher smiled at them a lot, gave them a lot of encouragement, talked to them a lot, worked hard to communicate with them.But with the monkeys he thought were less intelligent, he wasn’t this enthusiastic, he didn’t try this hard, wasn’t quite op timistic.Explain how the example from the professor s lecture illustrates the experimenter effect.Task 5：Listen to a conversation between two students.(man) Hey, Kerri, what’s the matter?(woman) Well, you know I’m in the choir, right? And we have a concert in anhour,just an hour from now?(man) I know, I’m going, really looking forward to hearing you sing. What’s the trouble?(woman) Well, we’re all supposed to wear white shirts and black pants at the concert. You know, so we all look the same.(man) Right?(woman) Well, I wore my white shirt to dinner and I spilt spaghetti sauce all over it. (man) Oh, no!(woman) Yeah, there’s a huge red stein on it. I can’t wear it for the concert now. It’s the only white shirt I have and there’s no time to go to the store to buy another one. (man) Wow! What are you gonna do?(woman) Well, I just called the choir director and he’s obviously unhappy about all this. But I told him about another shirt I have, it’s not exactly white, not white like the others, sort of off white, sort of cream-colored? And he says it’s OK for me to wear it, but…(man) But it’s not exactly the same color as the others.(woman) Right. I’ll feel kind of funny. Some people in the audience would probably be able to tell.(man) Hmm. Don’t any of the other choir members have an extra white shirt you could borrow?(woman) No, I’ve already asked around. But my roommate has one.(man) Great, use hers.(woman) Well, the thing is, she’s out of town. I’ve tried calling her but haven’t beenable to reach her. She probably wouldn’t mind, but, you know, I’ve never borrowed her stuff before and I really don’t like taking things without asking.Briefly summarize the problem the speakers are discussing. Then state which solution you would recommend. Explain the reasons for your recommendation.Task 6：Listen to part of a lecture in a biology class.(female professor)Birds have some of the best vision capabilities in the animal kingdom. Some birds species have vision that is eight to ten times greater than humans. Overall, a bird’s eyes are extremely important for its survival.One aspect of bird's eyes that plays a role in helping them survive, in other words to find food or to avoid predators, is the position of the eyes in the skull. Some birds have eyes that face forward on the skull, kind of similar to how human's eyes are positioned. Forward-facing eyes allow a bird to clearly see and judge distances because it can focus on objects with both of its eyes, and correctly perceive height, width and depth. One type of bird with eyes positioned in the front of the skull is the hawk. Hawks eat animals like mice. Hawks have such good eye sight that they can spot a tiny mouse in the field from high up in the air. They spot the mouse and swoop down to catch it. Without such good eye sight, they would not be able to spot or catch their food.Other birds have eyes that are located on each side of the skull. This positioning of the eyes can help a bird to avoid predators. Instead of just seeing what’s directly in front, they can see things that are on either side, permitting them to watch for danger in all directions. Imagine a duck wading near the edge of a lake. It needs to spend time eating grasses and insects, but it also is on constant lookout for danger from its predator, like the fox . An eye on each side of the duck’s head allows it to see a fox approaching from eith er side . If it spots a fox, it can then fly away to safety. The placement of the eyes are critical in helping the duck avoid predators.Using the examples in the lecture, explain how the position of birds ’ eyes is critical to their survival.。

TPO 16Task 3:Now listen to two students discussing the letter.Woman: Did you read that letter in the paper?Man: Sure, and though she’s right about the problems, I don’t think what she proposes will do much good.Woman: Really?Man: Yeah. Take her first suggestion: I mean, have you seen the health center Woman: Of course! Why?Man: Well…it’s tiny. It suf fers from lack of space, so, unless they build more treatment rooms or offices or something…Woman: Oh, I see…Man: And also, her second suggestion.Woman: It seems like that’ll help things out…Man: Well…not necessarily …I mean…think about it. A lot of students aren’t even here on the weekends.Woman: That’s true.Man: They leave town and get away; there’s not a lot of people here.Woman: Yeah, like me, I got home probably …at least twice a month.Man: Right, and a lot of us leave campus for the weekend even more often than that.So there’s just not a lot of demand for treatment then. See what I mean?The man expresses his opinion about the student s suggestions that are made in the letter. State the man’s opinion and explain the reasons he gives for holding that opinion.Task 4：Listen to part of a lecture in a psychology class.(man)Now a study was done that illustrated this phenomenon. In the study people were given an ordinary task that everyone has probably done before. They were simply asked to peel potatoes, and to peel as many potatoes as possible in a given amount of time. OK so, some people worked alone, and they were told that the number of potatoes they each peeled would be recorded. Others peeled potatoes together, as part of a group, and they were told that only the total number of potatoes peeled would be recorded. So it would be impossible to tell how many any one person had done.Then researchers compared the results of people who worked alone and those who worked together to see if there was any difference. That is, they took the average score of the people working alone and compared it to the average score of the people working together in a group, and they did discover a difference! It turns out thatpeople working in a group peeled significantly fewer potatoes that people who worked alone.Using the example from the lecture, explain what social loafing is, and how it affects behavior.Task 5：Now listen to a conversation between two students.Woman: Hey Steve, did you get that book on the Russian Revolution that Professor Harper wants us to read?Man: No, none of the bookstores in the campus area had it in stock. They’ll get it in about two weeks.Woman: Hmm…so what are you going to do in the meantime? Remember, that we’re going to be discussing the book starting next Tuesday.Man: I was thinking of placing a rush order with a bookseller on the internet, so I'd have the book in about a day or two.Woman: Yeah, but rush order delivery is expensive. You could easily spend twice as much money for the book that way.Man: I know, but what choice do I have?Woman: Well, since we only have to read a couple of chapters at a time, you're welcome to share my copy for a few weeks. You know, until you can get yours at the bookstore.Man: You mean…you would read the chapters assigned, give the book to me, I’d read those chapters, then give the book back to you to read the next set of chapters, and so on.Woman: ExactlyMan: Thanks! But, what if I don’t get the book back to you in time. Wouldn’t you get behind in your reading?Woman: Yeah maybe. But it s hould work if we’re careful.The students discuss two possible solutions to the man's problem. Briefly summarize the problem, then state which of the two solutions you prefer and explain why.Task 6：Now listen to part of a talk in a psychology class.OK, ever thought about the things that happen to you and what’s responsible for them?We psychologists have a term Locus of Control. Locus of Control refers to...um…where people think control over their lives comes from. Whether it comes from themselves or from somewhere else. People who think that control is in themselves are internals, and people who think it comes from somewhere else are externals.Lets say there are two people going for job interviews. One of them is an internal, she has an internal locus of control. Since she thinks that control comes from within herself, she'll believe that her success and her preparation are really her responsibility.So she’s likely to really work on her interview skills ahead of time. Then, if she gets the jo b, she'll believe it's because she's worked so hard, and if she doesn't get it, well,she’ll probably be disappointed with herself, and uh…try to figure out how she can improve for the next time.OK, and another job candidate is an external, eh perceives other things, say…his interviewers to have more influence, after all, it’s their decision. It depends on what mood their in and, you know, luck. Now, with his external locus of control, his not as hard on himself, so he's more likely to take risks. He might interview for a job that he's not completely qualified for. And if he gets it, he'll think he's really lucky and because he thinks external forces are in control, he might think its because the interviewers were having a good day. And if he doesn't get it, he'll probably blame the interviewers or bad luck rather than look at himself and try to figure out what he could have done better.Using points and examples from the talk explain internal and external locus of control.。

All these can lead to a better life, right?Besides, the basic infrastructure in big city is perfect, because there are some museums, hospitals, schools,libraries and so on.榜样力量Yi Fan is a famous actor in my country, and i admire him a lot because he sets a good example to me.

His story motivates and inspires me all the time.大学教育、商业I’m studying in a top university, which provides me a pla tform to gain and enrich knowledge for my major. My major is business administration. In university, i have learned some related academic subjects, such as economics, management, e-commerce and so on. At the same time, i can do some internships in some business companies. All these can lay a solid foundation for my future career. What’s more, in university, i can make friends with some talented people who can give me a lot of inspiration.三选一结尾套话To tell you the truth, when talking about the other two things, i have absolutely no interest in them.Therefore, i don’t want to waste my time on them.节约钱I’m only a student who doesn’t have regular income, so i need to save money in daily life. Otherwise, i can’t make my ends meet. However,....may cost me a lot of money. It’s a financial burden for me. What’s more, i would rather save the money to do other meaningful things, such as paying for my tuition, traveling or doing some charity.环保、志愿者Protecting the environment is very important, because the world we live in is our only home. Last summer, i joined an environmental protection club named Beautiful Home. Once, we collected the recyclable rubbish in the downtown, such as plastics, cans, bottles and so on. Then we sent them to the recycle center. I think this kind of activity can’t only clean the city, but also strengthen citizen’s awareness of environment protection.Make full use of the natural resources\can not only help the...to...,but also give myself a sense of accomplishment. I feel myself important.成功励志、经验Last semester, i joined a speech contest in university. To be frank, i didn’t have any talent in public speaking, so i felt so nervous. I really wanted to challenge myself. Therefore, i spent a lot of time preparing for it, like searching for information, writing my speech, improving my body language and so on. No kidding, i even practiced in the washroom! In the end, i got the first prize in this competition. HURRAY! Since then, i became more and more confident! Amazing experience,right?运动I’m a big fan of doing sports, because it’s beneficial for my physical and mental health. I’m very interested in swimming, because during the process, i could stretch out my arms and legs and build muscle all over the body. What’s more, it’s also a good way to rela x and feel good. Besides, swimming is one of the most effective ways to burn calories so that i can keep a good body shape. 家人朋友通信I’m studying in Shanghai which is far away from my hometown. When i feel down or when i meet some troubles in my life, i will call my parents, because they are my rock. Like last night, i was so upset about the upcoming TOEFL test, coz it’s to important to me. Then i called my mom and sheencouraged me that “honey, it’s ok. Take it easy. I have faith in you. You are the best.” After the conversation, i felt much better.健康饮食Having healthy diet plays a very important role in our lives, because a healthy body is the foundation of everything. However, a lot of people pay less attention to their diet, and they eat some junk food, such as French fries, hamburger, fried chicken, and so on. I think people should eat more home-made food, and eat more fruits and vegetables. After all, health is the most important thing in our life.旅游I often travel in my spare time, because i think it’s good chance for me to see the rest of the world. Last summer vacation, i traveled to Boston, a modern and metropolitan city in US. I went there with a bunch of my friends. We did a lot of interesting things, such as shopping, visiting museums, tasting sea food and so on. So amazing. BTW(buy the way), the public transportation there is very convenient, so you can take bus or subway to arrive at any destination you want.

Yeah, you heard me, two days. It almost drove me crazy. I made a to-do list in order to get high efficiency in study. According to the list, i did a lot of things, such as searching for information online, reading e-books, and writing the outline. In the end, i finished the essay on time with high quality.艺术Learning art is very important, because it can develop creative thinking, broaden the mind and feed the soul. When i was in high school, my favorite subject is painting class. Our painting teacher often took us to the art galleries or museums to watch some art exhibitions.

What’s more, i also appreciated some masterpieces from some great artists, such as Van Gogh, Picasso and so on.节约时间Time is very precious for students, because you need to deal with a lot of things.

All these can lay a solid foundation for my future career. Also, i can make some money by doing part-time job.动物保护I think it’s very important to protect the endangered species, because if a species goes extinct, it’s lost forever. Last summer vacation, i went to a wild zoo in Sicilian. I saw a lot of lovely panda there. Panda is a kind of endangered species, and the government should do something to protect it, such as building protected lands, planting more trees, improving breeding techniques and so on.

I really hope that my grand children or grand grand children can still see the real, cute pandas.效率Getting high efficiency is very important, because it enables to you get more things done in a short time.
