TOEFL模拟测试题(1-2)READING COMPREHENSIONAs many as one thousand years ago in the Southwest, the Hopi and Zuni Indians of North America were building with adobe -- sun-baked brick plastered with mud. Their homes lookedremarkably like modem apartment houses. Some were four stories high and contained quartersfor perhaps thousand people, along with storerooms for grain and other goods. Thesebuildings were usually put up against cliffs, both to make construction easier and for defenseagainst enemies. They were really villages in themselves, as later Spanish explorers must haverealized since they called them "pueblos", which is Spanish for town.The people or the pueblos raised what are called "the three sisters" -- corn, beans, andsquash. They made excellent pottery and wove marvelous baskets, some so fine that they couldhold water. The Southwest has always been a dry country, where water is scarce. The Hopi andZuni brought water from streams to their fields and gardens through irrigation ditches. Waterwas so important that it played a major role in their religion. They developed elaborateceremonies and religious rituals to bring rain.The way of life of less-settled groups was simpler and more strongly influenced by nature.Small tribes such as the Shoshone and Ute wandered the dry and mountainous lands betweenthe Rocky Mountains and the Pacific Ocean. They gathered seeds and hunted small animalssuch as rabbits and snakes.In the Far North the ancestors of today s Inuit hunted seals, walruses,and the great whales. They lived right on the frozen seas in shelters called igloos built of blocksof packed snow. When summer came, they fished for salmon and hunted the lordly caribou.The Cheyenne, Pawnee, and Sioux tribes, known as the Plains Indians, lived on thegrasslands between the rocky mountains and the Mississippi River. They hunted bisoncommonly called the buffalo. Its meat was the chief food of these tribes, and its hide was usedto make their clothing and the covering of their tents and tipis .1.What does the passage mainly discuss?(A) The architecture of early American Indian buildings(B) The movement of American Indians across North America(C) Ceremonies and rituals of American Indians(D) The way of life of American Indian tribes in early North America2.

Indeed her poems appear to be extremely compressedessays that happen to be printed in jagged lines on the page. Her subjects were varied: animals,laborers, artists, and the craft of poetry. From her general reading came quotations that shefound striking or insightful. She included these in her poems, scrupulously enclosed in quotationmarks, and sometimes identified in footnotes. Of this practice, she wrote, " Why the manyquotation marks? I am asked......When a thing has been said so well that it could not be saidbetter, why paraphrase it? Hence my writing is, if not a cabinet of fossils, a kind of collectionof flies in amber." Close observation and concentration on detail are the methods of her poetry.Marianne Moore grew up in Kirkwood, Missouri, near St.Louis. After graduation fromBryn Mawr College in 1909, she taught commercial subjects at the Indian School in Carlisle,Pennsylvania. Later she became a librarian in New York City. During the 1920 s she was editorof The Dial, an important literary magazine of the period. She lived quietly all her life, mostlyin Brooklyn, New York. She spent a lot of time at the Bronx Zoo, fascinated by animals.Her admiration of the Brooklyn Dodgers---before the team moved to Los Angeles ---waswidely known.Her first book of poems was published in London in1921 by a group of friends associatedwith the Imagist movement. From that time on her poetry has been read with interest bysucceeding generations of poets and readers. In 1952 she was award the Pulitzer Prize for herCollected Poems. She wrote that she did not write poetry "for money or fame. To earn a livingis needful, but it can be done in routine ways. One writes because one has a burning desire toobjectify what it is indispensable to one s happiness to express......."13. What is the passage mainly about?(A) The influence of the Imagists on Marianne Moore.(B) Essayists and poets of the 1920 s(C) The use of quotations in poetry(D) Marianne Moor s life and work14. Which if the following can be interred about Moore s poems?(A) They are better known in Europe than the United States.(B) They do not use traditional verse forms.(C) They were all published in The Dial.(D) They tend to be abstract.15. According to the passage Moore wrote about all of the following EXCEPT(A) artists(B) animals(C) fossils(D) workers16. What does Moore refer to as "flies in amber" (line 9)?(A) A common image in her poetry(B) Poetry in the twentieth century(C) Concentration on detail(D) Quotations within her poetry17. The author mentions all of the following as jobs held by Moore EXCEPT(A) commercial artist(B) teacher(C) magazine editor(D) librarian18. The word "period" in line 13 is closest in meaning to(A) movement(B) school(C) region(D) time19.Where did Moore spend most of her adult life?(A) In Kirkwood(B) In Brooklyn(C) In Los Angeles(D) In Carlisle20.The word "succeeding" in line 19 is closest in meaning to(A) inheriting(B) prospering(C) diverse(D) later21 . The word "it" in line 21 refers to(A) writing poetry(B) becoming famous(C) earning n living(D) attracting readers22.It can be inferred from the passage that Moore wrotebecause she(A) wanted to win awards(B) was dissatisfied with what others wrote(C) felt a need to express herself(D) wanted to raise money for the Bronx ZooWhat makes it rain? Rain falls from clouds for the same reason anything falls to Earth.The Earth s gravity pulls it.But every cloud is made of water droplets or ice crystals. Whydoesn t rain or snow fall constantly from all clouds? The droplets or ice crystals in clouds areexceedingly small.The effect or gravity on them is minute. Air currents move and lift dropletsso that the net downward displacement is zero, even though the droplets are in constant motion.Droplets and ice crystals behave somewhat like dust in the air made visible in a shaft ofsunlight. To the casual observer, dust seems to act in a totally random fashion, moving aboutchaotically without fixed direction. But in fact dust particles are much larger than water dropletsand they finally fall. The average size of a cloud droplet is only 0.0004 inch in diameter. It is sosmall that it would take sixteen hours to fall half a mile in perfectly still air,and it does not fallout of moving air at all. Only when the droplet grows to diameter of 0.008 inch or larger canit fall from the cloud. The average raindrop contains a million times as much water as a tinycloud droplet. The growth of a cloud droplet to a size largeenough to fall out is the cause ofrain and other forms of precipitation. This important growth process is called "coalescence.23. What is the main topic of the passage?(A) The mechanics of rain(B) The weather patterns of North America(C) How Earth s gravity affects agriculture(D) Types of clouds24.The word "minute in line 4 is closest in meaning to which of the following?(A) second(B) tiny(C) slow(D) steady25 .Thc word "motion in line 5 is closest in meaning to(A) wind(B) change(C) movement(D) humidity26.Ice crystals do NOT immediately fall to Earth because(A) they are kept aloft by air currents.(B) they combine with other chemicals in the atmosphere(C) most of them evaporate(D) their electrical charges draw them away from the earth27. The word "random" in line 7 is closest in meaning to(A) unpredictable(B) perplexing(C) independentI(D) abnormal28.What can be inferred about drops of water larger than0.008 inch in diameter?(A) They never occur.(B) They are not affected by the force of gravity.(C) In still air they would fall to earth.(D) In moving air they fall at a speed of thirty -two miles per hour.29 How much bigger is a rain drop than a cloud droplet ?(A) 200 times bigger(B) 1,000 times bigger(C) 100,000 times bigger(D) l,000,000 times bigger30. In this passage, what does the term "coalescence" refer to(A) The gathering of small clouds to form larger clouds(B) The growth of droplets(C) The effect of gravity on precipitation(D) The movement of dust particles in the sunlightPeople appear to be born to compute. The numerical skill of children develop so earlyand so inexorably that it is easy to imagine an internal clock of mathematical maturity guidingtheir growth. Not long after learning to walk and talk, they can set the table with impressiveaccuracy---one plate, one knife, one spoon, one fork, for each of the five chairs. Soon they arecapable of noting that they have placed five knives, spoons, and forks on the table and, a hitlater, that this amounts to fifteen pieces of silverware. Having thus mastered addition, theymove on to subtraction. It seems almost reasonable toexpect that if a child were secluded on adesert island at birth and retrieved seven years later, he or she could enter a second-grademathematics class without any serious problems of intellectual adjustment.Of course, the truth is not so simple. This century, the work of cognitive psychologists hasilluminated the subtle froms of daily learning on which interllectual progress depends. Childrenwere observed as they slowly grasped---or ,as the case might be,bumped into---concepts thatadults take for granted, as they refuseed, for instance, to concede that quantity is unchanged aswater pours from a short stout glass into a tall thin one. Psychologists have since demonstratedthat young children, asked to count the pencils in a pile, readily report the number of blue orred pencils, but must be coaxed into finding the total. Such studies have suggested that therudiments of mathematics are mastered gradually, and with effort. They have also suggestedthat the very concept of abstract numbers--- the idea of a oneness, a twoness, a threeness thatapplies to any class of objects and is a prerequisite for doing anything more mathematicallydemanding than setting a table--- is itself far from innate.31.What does the passage mainly discuss?(A) Trends in teaching mathematics to children(B) The use of mathematics in child psychology(C) The development of mathematical ability in children(D) The fundamental concepts of mathematics that children must learn32.It can be inferred from the passage that children normally learn simple counting(A) soon after they learn to talk(B) by looking at the clock(C) when they begin to be mathematically mature(D) after they reach second grade in school33.The word "illuminated in line 11 is closest in meaning to(A) iliustrated(B) accepted(C) clarified(D) lighted34 . The author implies that most small children believe that the quantity of waterchanges when it is transferred to a container of a different(A) color(B) quality(C) weight(D) shape35 .According to the passage, when small children were asked to count a pile ofred and blue pencils they(A) counted the number of pencils of each color(B) guessed at the total number of pencils(C) counted only the pencils of their favorite color(D) subtracted the number of red pencils from the number of blue pencils36. The word "They" in line 17 refers to(A) mathematicians(B) children(C) pencils(D) studies37. The word "prerequisite" in line 19 is closest in meaning to(A) reason(B) theory(C) requirement(D) technique38. The word "itself" in line 20 refers to(A) the total(B) the concept of abstract numbers(C) any class of objects(D) setting a table39. With which of the following statements would the author be LEAST likelyto agree?(A) Children naturally and easily learn mathematics .(B) Children learn to add before they learn to subtract.(C) Most people follow the same pattern of mathematical development(D) Mathematical development is subtle and gradual.40. Where in the passage does the author give an example of a hypotheticalexperiment ?(A) Lines 3-6(B) Lines 7-9(C) Lines 11-14(D) Lines 17-20Botany, the study of plants, occupies a peculiarposition in the history of human knowledge.For many thousands of years it was the one field of awareness about which humans hadanything more than the vaguest of insights. It is impossible to know today just what our StoneAge ancestors knew about plants, but from what we can observe of preindustrial societies thatstill exist, a detailed learning of plants and their properties must be extremely ancient. This islogical. Plants are the basis of the food, oyramid for all living things, even for other plants. Theyhave always been enormously important to the welfare of people, not only for food, but also forclothing, weapons, tools, dyes, medicines, shelter, and a great many other purposes. Tribesliving today in the jungles of the Amazon recognize literally hundreds of plants and knowmany properties of each. To them botany, as such, has no name and is probably not evenrecognized as a special branch of "knowledge" at all .Unfortunalely, the more industrialized we become the farther away we move from directcontact with plants, and the less distinct our knowledge of botany grows. Yet everyone comesunconsciously on an amazing amount of botanical knowledge,and few people will fail torecognize a rose, an apple,or an orchid. When our Neolithic ancestors, living in the MiddleEast about 10,000 years ago, discovered that certain grasses could be harvested and their seedsplanted for richer yields the next season, the first great step in a new association of plants andhumans was taken. Grains were discovered and from them flowed the marvel of agriculture :cultivated crops. From then on, humans would increasingly take their living from the controlledproduction of a few plants, rather than getting a little here and a little there from many varietiesthat grew wild--- and the accumulated knoweldge of tens of thousands of years of experienceand intimacy with plants in the wild would begin to fade away.41 . Which of the following assumptions about early humans is expressed in the passage?(A) They probably had extensive knowledge of plants.(B) They divided knowledge into well-defined fields .(C) They did not enjoy the study of botany. .(D) They placed great importance on ownership of property.42. The word "peculiar" in line 1 is closest in meaning to(A) clear(B) large(C) unusual(D) important43. What does the comment "This is logical" in lines 5-6 mean ?(A) There is no clear way to determine the extent of ourancetors knowledge of plants.(B) It is not surprising that early humans had a detailed knowledge of plants .(C) It is reasonable to assume that our ancestors behavedvery much like peoplein preindustrial societies .(D) Human knowledge of plants is well organized and very detailed.44. The phrase "properties of each" in line 10 refers to each(A) tribe(B) hundred(C) plant(D) purpose45.According to the passage, why has general knowledge of botany declined?(A) People no longer value plants as a useful resource .(B) Botany is not recognized as a special branch of science.(C) Research is unable to keep up with the increasing number of plants.(D) Direct contact with a variety of plants has decreased.46. In line 15, what is the author s purpose in mentioning" a rose, an opple, or an orchid"?(A) To make the passage more poetic(B) To cite examples of plants that are attractive(C) To give botanical examples that most readers will recognize(D) To illustrate the diversity of botanical life47. According to the passage, what was the first great step toward the practiceof agriculture ?(A) The invention of agricuitural implements and machinery(B) The development of a system of names for plants(C) The discovery of grasses that could be harvested and replanted(D) The changing diets of early humans48. The word "controlled" in line 19 is closest in meaning to(A) abundant(B) managed(C) required(D) advanced49. The relationship between botany and agriculture is similar to the relationshipbetween zoology (the study of animals) and(A) deer hunting(B) bird watching(C) sheep raising(D) horseback riding50. Where in the passage does the author describe the benefits people derivefrom plants?(A) Line 1(B) Lines 6-8(C) Lines 10-11(D) Lines 13-15。

托福考试模拟试题(字数:1500)题目一:阅读理解Passage 1:Why Exercising Outdoors is Good for YouExercising outdoors offers numerous benefits that cannot be achieved in an indoor setting. The natural surroundings and fresh air can increase enjoyment and motivation, making outdoor exercise more appealing. Additionally, outdoor exercise provides a variety of terrains and surfaces, which can help improve balance and coordination.Furthermore, exposure to natural sunlight during outdoor exercise increases Vitamin D production in the body. This vitamin plays a crucial role in bone health and the immune system. Indoor exercise, on the other hand, may not provide the same level of sunlight exposure.Outdoor exercise also allows participants to connect with nature. Studies have shown that spending time in nature can reduce stress levels, boost mood, and improve overall mental well-being. The calming effect of nature can enhance the benefits of physical activity.To fully take advantage of outdoor exercise, individuals should consider their safety. Dressing appropriately for the weather conditions and staying hydrated are important factors to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience.Passage 2:The Benefits of MeditationMeditation is an ancient practice that offers a wide range of benefits for both the mind and body. Numerous studies have shown that regular meditation can reduce stress, anxiety, and depression. It promotes a sense of calmness and inner peace.By practicing meditation, individuals can improve their focus and concentration. This carries over to daily life activities, allowing them to be more engaged and productive.Moreover, meditation has been found to lower blood pressure and improve cardiovascular health. The deep relaxation achieved during meditation triggers the body's relaxation response, leading to better overall physical well-being.In addition, meditation can enhance self-awareness and promote a positive outlook on life. By quieting the mind and becoming aware of thoughts and emotions, individuals can develop a greater understanding of themselves and their inner motivations.To start practicing meditation, find a quiet and comfortable place, sit in a relaxed position, and focus on your breath. Set aside a few minutes each day to cultivate a daily meditation routine.Question:Based on the information provided in the passages, answer the following questions:1. What are the benefits of exercising outdoors?2. How does outdoor exercise contribute to vitamin D production?3. How can spending time in nature enhance the benefits of physical activity?4. What are the benefits of meditation for mental health?5. How does meditation promote physical well-being?题目二:听力理解Passage 1:Listen to a conversation between two friends, Sarah and Mike.Sarah: I'm thinking about going on a vacation to a tropical island next month. Do you have any suggestions?Mike: Oh, definitely! I recently visited Bali, and it was absolutely amazing. The beaches are pristine, and the weather is perfect.Sarah: That sounds lovely! Did you stay at a resort?Mike: Yes, I did. Bali has a wide range of resorts to choose from, catering to different budgets. I stayed at a luxurious beachfront resort with stunning views.Sarah: Wow, that sounds like a dream! What activities did you do?Mike: There are plenty of activities in Bali. I went snorkeling, visited temples, and even tried surfing.Sarah: I've always wanted to try surfing. Is it suitable for beginners?Mike: Absolutely! There are surfing schools that offer lessons for beginners. The instructors are very patient and supportive.Sarah: That's great to hear. I'll definitely consider Bali for my vacation. Thanks for the recommendation, Mike!Passage 2:Listen to a lecture by a professor discussing climate change and its effects.Professor: Climate change is a pressing issue that requires immediate attention. The increase in greenhouse gas emissions, primarily caused by human activities, has led to a rise in global temperatures. This phenomenon, commonly known as global warming, has far-reaching consequences.One of the major impacts of climate change is the melting of polar ice caps. As temperatures continue to rise, glaciers and ice sheets are melting at an alarming rate. This leads to rising sea levels, which pose a threat to coastal communities.Additionally, climate change is affecting weather patterns. Extreme weather events such as hurricanes, droughts, and heatwaves are becoming more frequent and intense. This has detrimental effects on agriculture, water resources, and human health.Furthermore, climate change disrupts ecosystems and biodiversity. Rapid changes in temperature and precipitation patterns can lead to the extinction of certain species, as well as shifts in habitats and ecosystems.To address climate change, it is crucial to reduce greenhouse gas emissions through sustainable practices and renewable energy sources. Every individual has a role to play in combating climate change and protecting our planet.Question:Based on the information presented in the passages, answer the following questions:1. Where did Mike recommend Sarah to go on vacation?2. What type of resort did Mike stay at in Bali?3. What activities did Mike do in Bali?4. What is one of the major impacts of climate change mentioned in the lecture?5. How can individuals contribute to addressing climate change?。

Reading ComprehensionSections Three:Reading Comprehension“Producers, Consumers, and Decomposers”P1 Organisms that are capable of using carbon dioxide as their sole source of carbon are called autotrophs (self-feeders), or producers. These are the plants. They chemically fix carbon through photosynthesis. Organisms that depend on producers as their carbon source are called heterotrophs (feed on others), or consumers. Generally, these are animals. From the producers, which manufacture their own food, energy flows through the system along a circuit called the food chain, reaching consumers and eventually detritivores. Organisms that share the same basic foods are said to be at the same trophic level. Ecosystems generally are structured in a food web, a complex network of interconnected food chains. In a food web, consumers participate in several different food chains, comprising both strong interactions and weak interactions between species in the food web.P2 Primary consumers feed on producers. A Because producers are always plants, the primary consumer is called an herbivore, or plant eater. A carnivore is a secondary consumer and primarily eats meat. B A consumer that feeds on both producers (plants) and consumers (meat) is called an omnivore. CP3 Detritivores (detritus feeders and decomposers) are the final link in the endless chain. D Detritivores renew the entire system by releasing simple inorganic compounds and nutrients with the breaking down of organic materials. Detritus refers to all the dead organic debris—remains, fallen leaves, and wastes—that living processes leave. Detritus feeders—worms, mites, termites, centipedes, snails, crabs, and even vultures, among others—work like an army to consume detritus and excrete nutrients that fuel an ecosystem. Decomposers are primarily bacteria and fungi that digest organic debris outside their bodies and absorb and release nutrients in the process. This metabolic work of microbial decomposers produces the rotting that breaks down detritus. Detritus feeders and decomposers, although different in operation, have a similar function in an ecosystem.P4 An example of a complex community is the oceanic food web that includes krill, a primary consumer. Krill is a shrimplike crustacean that is a major food for an interrelated group of organisms, including whales, fish, seabirds, seals, and squid in the Antarctic region. All of these organisms participate in numerous other food chains as well, some consuming and some being consumed. Phytoplankton begin this chain by harvesting solar energy in photosynthesis. Herbivorous zoo-plankton such as krill and other organisms eat Phytoplankton. Consumers eat krill at the next trophic level. Because krill are a protein-rich, plentiful food, increasingly factory ships, such as those from Japan and Russia, seek them out. The annual krill harvest currently surpasses a million tons, principally as feed for chickens and livestock and as protein for human consumption.Efficiency in a Food WebP5 Any assessment of worldfood resources depends on the level of consumer being targeted. Let us use humans as an example. Many people can be fed if wheat is eaten directly. However, if the grain is first fed to cattle (herbivores) and then we eat the beef, the yield of available food energy is cut by 90% (810 kg of grain is reduced to 82 kg of meat); far fewer people can be fed from the same land area.P6 In terms of energy, only about 10% of the kilocalories (food calories, not heat calories) in plant matter survive from the primary to the secondary trophic level. When humans consume meat instead of grain, there is a further loss of biomass and added inefficiency. More energy is lost to the environment at each progressive step in the food chain. You can see that an omnivorous diet such as that of an average North American and European is quite expensive in terms of biomass and energy.P7 Food web concepts are becoming politicized as world food issues grow more critical. Today, approximately half of the cultivated acreage in the United States and Canada is planted for animal consumption —beef and dairy cattle, hogs, chickens, and turkeys. Livestock feed includes approximately 80% of the annual corn and nonexported soybean harvest. In addition, some lands cleared of rain forest in Central and South America were converted to pasture to produce beef for export to restaurants, stores, and fast-food outlets in developed countries. Thus, lifestyle decisions and dietary patterns in North America and Europe are perpetuating inefficient food webs, not to mention the destruction of valuable resources, both here and overseas.Glossaryphytoplankton: a plant that lives in the sea and produces its own energy source trophic level: category measured in steps away from the energy input in an ecosystem1.According to paragraph 1, which of the following is true about autotrophs?A.They use a chemical process to produce their own food.B.They require plant matter in order to survive.C.They need producers to provide them with carbon.D.They do not interact with other organisms in the food chain.正确答案:A 涉及知识点:阅读2.The word sole in the passage is closest in meaning toA.majorB.steadyC.onlyD.ideal正确答案:C 涉及知识点:阅读3.Based on the information in paragraph 1, which of the following best explains the term “food web”?A.Energy manufactured by producer organisms in the food chainB.Another term that defines the food chainC.An interactive system of food chainsD.Primary and secondary consumers in the food chain正确答案:C 涉及知识点:阅读4.It may be concluded that human beings are omnivores becauseA.people feed on producers for the most partB.people are usually tertiary consumersC.people generally eat both producers and consumersD.most people are the top carnivores in the food chain正确答案:C 涉及知识点:阅读5.The word others in the passage refers toA.debrisB.feedersC.processesD.nutrients正确答案:B 涉及知识点:阅读6.Why does the author mention krill in paragraph 4?A.To suggest a solution for a problem in the food chainB.To provide evidence that contradicts previously stated opinionsC.To present an explanation for the killing of krillD.To give an example of a complex food web正确答案:D 涉及知识点:阅读7.Which of the sentences below best expresses the information in the highlighted statement in the passage?

A When IQ tests were undergoing rapid development early in the twentieth century, many psychologists believed that intelligence was determined primarily by heredity. BP2 Environmentalist view. By the middle of the twentieth century, numerous studies had counteracted the hereditarian view, and most social scientists took the position that environment is as important as or even more important than heredity indetermining intelligence. C Social scientists who stress the environmentalist view of intelligence generally emphasize the need for continual compensatory programs beginning in infancy. Many also criticize the use of IQ tests on the grounds that these tests are culturally biased. DP3 James Flynn, who collected similar data on other countries, found that “massive”gains in the IQ scores of the population in fourteen nations have occurred during the twentieth century. These improvements, according to Flynn’s analysis, largely stemmed not from genetic improvement in the population but from environmental changes that ied to gains in the kinds of skills assessed by IQ tests. Torsten Husen and his colleagues also have concluded, after reviewing large amounts of data, that improvements in economic and social conditions, and particularly in the availability of schooling, can produce substantial gains in average IQ from one generation to the next. In general, educators committed to improving the performance of low-achieving students find these studies encouraging.P4 Hereditarian view. The hereditarian view of intelligence underwent a major revival in the 1970s and 1980s, based particularly on the writings of Arthur Jensen, Richard Herrnstein, and a group of researchers conducting the Minnesota Study of Twins. Summarizing previous research as well as their own studies, these researchers identified heredity as the major factor in determining intelligence—accounting for up to 80 percent of the variation in IQ scores.P5 Jensen published a highly controversial study in the Harvard Educational Review in 1969. Pointing out that African-Americans averaged about 15 points below whites on IQ tests, Jensen attributed this gap to a genetic difference between the two races in learning abilities and patterns. Critics countered Jensen’s arguments by contending that a host of environmental factors that affect IQ, including malnutrition and prenatal care are difficult to measure and impossible to separate from hereditary factors. IQ tests are biased, they said, and do not necessarily even measure intelligence. After his 1969 article, Jensen has continued to cite data that he believed link intelligence primarily to heredity. His critics continue to respond with evidence that environmental factors, and schooling in particular, have a major influence on IQ.P6 Synthesizers’view. Certain social scientists have taken a middle, or “synthesizing,”position in this controversy. The synthesizers’view of intelligence holds that both heredity and environment contribute to differences in measured intelligence. For example, Christopher Jencks, after reviewing a large amount of data, concluded that heredity is responsible for 45 percent of the IQ variance, environment accounts for 35 percent, and interaction between the two (“interaction” meaning that particular abilities thrive or wither in specific environments) accounts for 20 percent. Robert Nichols reviewed all these and other data and concluded that the true value for heredity may be anywhere between 0.40 and 0.80 but that the exact value has little importance for policy. In general, Nichols and other synthesizers maintain that heredity determines the fixed limits of a range; within those limits, the interaction between environment and heredity yields the individual’s intelligence. In this view, even if interactions between heredity and environment limit our ability to specify exactly how much of a child’s intelligence reflects environmental factors, teachers (and parents) should provide each child with a productive environment in which to realize her or hismaximum potential.GlossaryIQ: intelligence quotient; a numerical value for intelligence15.According to paragraph 2, which of the following is true about environmentalists?A.They had only a few studies to prove their viewpoint.B.They did not agree with the use of IQ tests to measure intelligence.C.They did not believe that educational programs could raise IQ scores.D.They were already less popular by the mid twentieth century.正确答案:B 涉及知识点:阅读16.Which of the sentences below best expresses the information in the highlighted statement in the passage? The other choices change the meaning or leave out important information.A.Changes in the environment rather than genetic progress caused an increase in IQ scores, according to studies by Flynn.B.Flynn’s studies were not conclusive in identifying the skills that resulted in improvements on IQ tests.C.IQ test results in research by Flynn did not improve because of genetics and environment.D.The reason that gains in IQ tests occurred was because of the changes in skills that were tested.正确答案:A 涉及知识点:阅读17.The word data in the passage is closest in meaning toA.expertsB.adviceC.argumentsD.information正确答案:D 涉及知识点:阅读18.Why does the author mention the “Minnesota Study of Twins” in paragraph 4?A.To argue that environment is more important than heredityB.To prove the importance of heredity in measuring IQC.To establish the synthesizer’s view of intelligenceD.To summarize previous research before designing a new study正确答案:B 涉及知识点:阅读19.According to paragraph 4, what can be inferred about the results of the Minnesota Study of Twins?A.Twins brought up in different environments probably had similar IQ scores.B.The environments were more important to IQ than the genetic similarity of twins.C.The study did not support the previous work by Jensen and Herrnstein.D.The IQ scores of twins can vary by as much as 80 percent.正确答案:A 涉及知识点:阅读20.According to Jensen’s opponents, IQ tests are not reliable becauseA.heredity is not measured on the current forms of IQ testsB.it is difficult to determine whether a factor is due to heredity or environment C.learning abilities and patterns are different for people of diverse racial heredityD.they only measure intelligence and not many other important factors正确答案:B 涉及知识点:阅读21.The word these in the passage refers toA.differences in measured intelligenceB.a large amount of dataC.particular abilitiesD.specific environments正确答案:A 涉及知识点:阅读22.Based on the information in paragraph 6, which of the following best explains the term “synthesizing”?A.A moderate position between the two extremesB.A position for which the evidence is overwhelmingC.A controversial position that is hotly debatedD.A modern revision of an outdated position正确答案:A 涉及知识点:阅读23.According to a synthesizer’s view, how does heredity influence intelligence?A.Heredity is very important but not as influential as environment.B.Heredity sets limits on intelligence, but environment can overcome them.C.A productive environment influences intelligence more than any other factor.D.Heredity and environment interact within the limits set at birth.正确答案:D 涉及知识点:阅读24.According to the passage, all of the following are true of the hereditarian view EXCEPTA.Studies by Jensen and Herrnstein support this point of view.B.Many psychologists in the early twentieth century were hereditarians.C.Intelligence as measured by IQ tests is a result of genetic predisposition.D.Environmental factors are not able to be separated from heredity.正确答案:D 涉及知识点:阅读25.Which of the following statements most accurately reflects the author’s opinion about IQ tests?A.The author believes that IQ tests should be used continuously from infancy.B.According to the author, there are too many disadvantages to IQ testing.C.The author maintains a neutral point of view about IQ tests in the discussion.D.IQ tests should be used in research studies but they should not be used in schools.正确答案:C 涉及知识点:阅读26.Look at the four squares [■] that show where the following sentence could be inserted in the passage.Those who took this hereditarian view of intelligence thought that IQ tests and similar instruments measured innate differences present from birth in people’s capacity.Where could the sentence best be added?Click on a square [■] to insert the sentence in the passage.A.B.C.D.正确答案:B 涉及知识点:阅读27.Complete the table by matching the phrases on the left with the headings on the right.

After you hear the question, you will make a choice from your experience and then explain why you made that choice.You will have 15 seconds to prepare and 45 seconds to speak.Task- Describe your experience- Explain the reasons for your choiceWhere would you like to study in the United States? Example Notes—Answer and ReasonsWashington, D.C.- Family in the area—advice, help- International city—food, stores- Tours—sites, trains to other cities- Universities—excellent, accepted at 1正确答案:I’d like to study at a university in Washington, D.C, because I have family in the area, and ... and it would be nice to have them close by so I could visit them on holidays and in case I need advice or help. I’ve been to Washington several times, and I like it there. It’s an international city with restaurants and stores where I can buy food and other things from my country while, uh, while I’m living abroad. And Washington is an exciting place. I’ve gone on several tours, but I still have many places on my list of sites to see. Also, urn, there are trains to New York and Florida so I could take advantage of my free time to see other cities. Urn, as for the universities, there are several, uh, several excellent schools in Washington and . . . and I’d probably be accepted at one of them. 涉及知识点:口语2.In Question 2, you will be asked to speak about a personal preference. This may be a situation, an activity, or an event. After you hear the question, you will make a choice between two options presented and then explain why you made that choice.You will have 15 seconds to prepare and 45 seconds to speak.Task- Choose between two options- Explain the reasons for your preferenceSome students live in dormitories on campus. Other students live in apartments off campus. Which living situation do you think is better and why?Example Notes—Choice and ReasonsDormitories- More interaction—practice English, study- Less responsibility—meals, laundry, cleaning- Better location—library, recreation, classroom buildings正确答案:A lot of my friends live off campus, but I think that living in adormitory is a better situation, uh, especially for the first year at a new college. Dormitories are structured to provide opportunities for interaction and for making friends. As a foreign student, it would be an advantage to be in a dormitory to practice English with other residents and to find study groups in the dormitory. And dorm students have, uh, less responsibility for meals, laundry, and ... and, uh, cleaning because there are meal plans and services available, uh, as part of the fees. Besides, there’s only one check to write so, uh, the book, uh, the bookkeeping ... it’s minimal. And the dormitory offers an ideal location near the library and, urn, all the recreational facilities, and ... and the classroom buildings. 涉及知识点:口语听力原文:Now listen to a student who is expressing his opinion about the proposal.I understand that a branch campus on the city’s west side would be convenient for students who live near the proposed site, and it might attract more local students, but I oppose the plan because it will redirect funds from the main campus where several classroom buildings need repair. Hanover Hall for one. And, uh, a lot of the equipment in the chemistry and physics labs should be replaced. In my lab classes, we don’t do some of the experiments because, uh, because we don’t have enough equipment. And we need more teachers on the main campus. I’d like to see the branch campus funding allocated for teachers’salaries in order to decrease the student-teacher ratios. Most of the freshman classes are huge, and there’s very little interaction with professors. Urn, a branch campus would be a good addition, but not until some of the problems on the main campus have been taken care of.3.In Question 3, you will be asked to read a short passage and listen to a speaker on the same topic. The topic usually involves a campus situation and the speaker’s opinion about it. After you hear the question, you will be asked to report the speaker’s opinion and relate it to the reading passage.You will have 45 seconds to read the passage. After you have listened to the talk, you will have 30 seconds to prepare and 60 seconds to speak.Task- Summarize a situation and an opinion about it- Explain the reason or the background- Connect listening and reading passagesReading45 secondsAnnouncement concerning a proposal for a branch campusThe university is soliciting state and local funding to build a branch campus on the west side of the city where the I-19 expressway crosses the 201 loop. This location should provide convenient educational opportunities for students who live closer to the new campus as well as for those students who may choose to live on the west side once the campus is established. The city plan for the next ten years indicates that there will be major growth near the proposed site, including housing and a shopping area. By building a branch campus, some of the crowding on the main campus may be resolved.Now listen to a student who is expressing his opinion about the proposal.I understand that a branch campus on the city’s west side would be convenient for students who live near the proposed site, and it might attract more local students, but I oppose the plan because it will redirect funds from the main campus where several classroom buildings need repair. Hanover Hall for one. And, uh, a lot of the equipment in the chemistry and physics labs should be replaced. In my lab classes, we don’t do some of the experiments because, uh, because we don’t haveenough equipment. And we need more teachers on the main campus. I’d like to see the branch campus funding allocated for teachers’salaries in order to decrease the student-teacher ratios. Most of the freshman classes are huge, and there’s very little interaction with professors. Urn, a branch campus would be a good addition, but not until some of the problems on the main campus have been taken care of.Example Notes—Situation and OpinionPlans to open a branch campus- convenient for students near- might attract more students- relieve crowding on main campusBut will redirect funds from main campus- buildings need repair- equipment should be replaced- more teachers—smaller classesThe man expresses his opinion of the proposal in the announcement Report his opinion and explain the reasons he gives for having that opinion.正确答案:The man concedes that the branch campus might be advantageous for students living close to the new location, but he’s concerned that the funding for a branch campus will affect funding on main campus for... for important capital improvements such as classroom buildings that are, uh, in need of repair. Urn, and equipment in the science labs is getting old, so it needs to be replaced. And he also points out that more teachers are needed for the main campus in order to reduce student-teacher ratios, which ... which would improve the quality of the teaching and the, uh, amount of interaction in classes. So the man feels that more attention should be given to the main campus and funding should be directed to improve the main campus before a branch campus is considered. 涉及知识点:口语听力原文:Now listen to a lecture on the same topic.English uses a system of about a dozen word endings to express grammatical meaning—the -ing for present time, -s for possession and plurality, and, uh, the-ed for the past, to mention only a few. But... how and when do children learn them? Well, in a classic study by Berko in the 1950s, investigators ... they elicited a series of forms that required the target endings. For example, a picture was shown of a bird, and .. . and the investigator identified it by saying, ‘This is a Wug.” Then the children were shown two similar birds, to, uh, ... to elicit the sentence, “There are two___.”And if the children completed the sentence by saying “Wugs,”well,then it was inferred that they had learned the -s ending. Okay. Essential to that study was the use of nonsense words like “Wug,”since the manipulation of the endings could have been supported by words that the children had ... had already heard. In any case, charts were developed to demonstrate the, uh, the gradual natural of grammatical acquisition. And the performance by children from eighteen months to four years confirmed the basic theory of child language that the, uh, ... the gradual reduction of grammatical errors .. .that these are evidence of language acquisition.4.In Question 4, you will be asked to listen to a speaker and read a short passage on the same topic. The topic usually involves a general concept and a specific example of it. Sometimes the speaker provides a contradictory point of view. After you hear the question, you will be asked to explain the example and relate it to the concept or contrast the opposing views.You will have 45 seconds to read the passage.After you have listened to the talk, you will have 30 seconds to prepare and 60 seconds to speak.Task- Explain how an example supports a concept OR Contrast one view with another view- Connect listening and reading passagesReading45 secondsThe telegraphic nature of early sentences in child language is a result of the omission of grammatical words such as the article the and auxiliary verbs is and are as well as word endings such as -ing, -ed, or -s. By the end of the third year, these grammatical forms begin to appear in the speech of most children. It is evident that a great deal of grammatical knowledge is required before these structures can be used correctly, and errors are commonly observed. The correction of grammatical errors is a feature of the speech of preschoolers four and five years old. The study of the errors in child language is interesting because it demonstrates when and how grammar is acquired.Now listen to a lecture on the same topic.English uses a system of about a dozen word endings to express grammatical meaning—the -ing for present time, -s for possession and plurality, and, uh, the-ed for the past, to mention only a few. But... how and when do children learn them? Well, in a classic study by Berko in the 1950s, investigators ... they elicited a series of forms that required the target endings. For example, a picture was shown of a bird, and .. . and the investigator identified it by saying, ‘This is a Wug.” Then the children were shown two similar birds, to, uh, ... to elicit the sentence, “There are two___.” And if the children completed the sentence by saying “Wugs,” well,then it was inferred that they had learned the -s ending. Okay. Essential to that study was the use of nonsense words like “Wug,”since the manipulation of the endings could have been supported by words that the children had ... had already heard. In any case, charts were developed to demonstrate the, uh, the gradual natural of grammatical acquisition. And the performance by children from eighteen months to four years confirmed the basic theory of child language that the, uh, ... the gradual reduction of grammatical errors .. .that these are evidence of language acquisition.Example Notes—Concept and ExampleWord endings—grammatical relationships- -edpast- -s pluralWug experiment—Berko- Nonsense words—not influenced by familiar- Manipulated endings- Data about developmentDescribe the Wug experiment and explain why the results supported the basic theory of child language acquisition.正确答案:In English, there are several important word endings that express grammatical relationships, for example, the -ed ending signals that the speaker’s talking about the past and the -s ending means “more than one,” uh, when it’s used at the end of a noun. So, when children learn English, they, urn, they make errors in these endings, but they gradually refine their use until they master them. In the Wug experiment, Berko created nonsense words to get children to use endings... so... so the researchers could, uh, follow their development. It was important not to use real words because the children might have been influenced by a word they’d heard before. So this experiment provided data about the time it takes and the age when endings are learned. It supported the basic theory of child language that, urn, sorting out grammatical errors is a feature of the speech of... of four-year-olds ... and a stage in language acquisition. 涉及知识点:口语听力原文:Student 1: Did your scholarship check come yet? Student 2: Yeah, it came last week. Didn’t yours? Student 1: No. That’s the problem. And everything’s due at the same time—tuition, my dorm fee, and let’s not forget about books.

The check probably won’t be here until the end of the month and I won’t get paid at work for two more weeks ... I don’t know what I’m going to do.Student 2: How about your credit card? Could you use that?Student 1: Maybe, but I’m afraid I’ll get the credit card bill before I get the scholarship check and then I’ll be in worse trouble because of, you know, the interest rate for the credit card on top of everything else. Student 2: I see your point. Still, the check might come before the credit card bill. You might have to gamble, unless ... Student 1: I’m listening. Student 2: Well, unless you take out a student loan. A short-term loan. They have them set up at the Student Credit Union. Isn’t that where you have your checking account? Student 1: Umhum. Student 2: So you could take out a short-term loan and pay it off on the day that you get your check. It wouldn’t cost that much for interest because it would probably be only a few weeks.

What do you think the woman should do and why?正确答案:The woman doesn’t have enough money for her expenses. Urn, she has to pay tuition and her dorm fee is due at the same time. Besides that, she needs to buy books. So the problem is everything has to be paid now, and she won’t get her scholarship check until the end of the month, and she won’t get her paycheck for two weeks. Urn, the man suggests that she use her credit card because she won’t have to pay it off until the end of the month, but the problem is ... the ... the interest would be substantial if the scholarship check is delayed. The other idea—to take out a student loan—that seems better because the loan could be paid off on the day the check arrives instead of a fixed date, and it wouldn’t cost much to get a short-term loan at the Student Credit Union. So ... I support applying for a student loan. 涉及知识点:口语听力原文:Two types of irrigation methods that are used worldwide are mentioned in your textbook. Flood irrigation—that’s been a method in use since ancient times—and we still use it today where water’s cheap. Basically, canals connect a water supply like a river or a reservoir to the fields where ditches are constructed with valves, uh, valves that allow farmers to siphon water from the canal, sending it down through the ditches. So that way the field can be totally flooded, or smaller, narrow ditches along the rows can be filled with water to irrigate the crop. But, this method does have quite a few disadvantages. Like I said, it’s contingent upon cheap water because it isn’t very efficient and the flooding isn’t easy to control, I mean, the rows closer to the canal usually receive much more water, and of course, if the field isn’t flat, then the water won’t be evenly distributed. Not to mention the cost of building canals and ditches and maintaining the system. So let’s consider the alternative—the sprinkler system. In this method of irrigation, it’s easier to control the water and more efficient since the water’s directed only on the plants. But, in hot climates, some of the water can evaporate in the air. Still, the main problem with sprinklers is the expense for installation and maintenance because there’s a very complicated pipe system and that usually involves a lot more repair and even replacement of parts, and of course, we have to factor in the labor costs in feasibility studies for sprinklers.6.In Question 6, you will be asked to listen to part of an academic lecture and to give a summary of it.After you have listened to the lecture, you will have 20 seconds to prepare and 60 seconds to speak.Task- Comprehend part of an academic lecture- Summarize the main pointsTwo types of irrigation methods that are used worldwide are mentioned in your textbook. Flood irrigation—that’s been a method in use since ancient times—and we still use it today where water’s cheap. Basically, canals connect a water supply like a river or a reservoir to the fields where ditches are constructed with valves, uh, valves that allow farmers to siphon water from the canal, sending it down through the ditches. So that way the field can be totally flooded, or smaller, narrow ditches along the rows can be filled with water toirrigate the crop. But, this method does have quite a few disadvantages.

Still, the main problem with sprinklers is the expense for installation and maintenance because there’s a very complicated pipe system and that usually involves a lot more repair and even replacement of parts, and of course, we have to factor in the labor costs in feasibility studies for sprinklers.Example Notes—Main PointsFlood- Not efficient- Difficult to control—flat fields- Initial expense to build canals, ditches- Requires maintenanceSprinkler- Complicated pipe system- Expensive to install, maintain, repair, replace- Labor costUsing examples from the lecture, describe two general types of irrigation systems. Then explain the disadvantages of each type.正确答案:Two methods of irrigation were discussed in the lecture. First, flood irrigation. It involves the release of water into canals and drainage ditches that flow into the fields. The disadvantages of the flood method, urn, well, it isn’t very efficient since more water is used in flooding than the crops actually, uh, need, and also it isn’t easy to control. Another problem is the initial expense for the construction of the canals and the connecting ditches as well as ... as maintenance. And besides that, if the fields aren’t flat, the water doesn’t—I mean, it isn’t distributed evenly. The second method is sprinkler irrigation, which uses less water and provides better control, but there is some evaporation, and the pipe system’s complicated and can be expensive to install and maintain. So ... there’s usually a lot more labor cost because the equipment must be repaired and replaced more often that a canal system. 涉及知识点:口语。

托福考试阅读题模拟试题1Everyone in a particular society recognizes social roles: father, mother, child, teacher, student, police officer, store clerk, doctor, judge, political leader, and so on. Every culture expects certain types of behavior from people who play certain social roles. Anyone occupying a given position is expected to adopt a specific attitude. A store clerk is expected to take care of customers patiently and politely, and a judge is expected to make wise and fair decisions about laws.Informal social roles are not always easy to recognize, but can be identified with careful research. They are key indicators of a group's health and happiness. Within the family, one informal role is the family hero, the person who defines integrity and upholds family morality. Others are the family arbitrator, the person who keeps the peace, and the family historian, often a grandparent, who relays valuable cultural information that maintains both the family and the larger society. And finally, there is the family friend, the person who provides comfort and companionship to the family members with emotional needs.1.Why does the author mention a store clerk and a judge in paragraph 1?A. To give examples of people who hold positions of respects.B. To explain why social roles are important to a society.C. To illustrate the behavior required of certain social roles.D. To compare the responsibilities of two differentoccupations.2.Why does the author use the term key indicators in discussing informal social roles?A.To identify the most important type of social roles.B.To explain how to identify informal social rolesC.To point out that informal roles are unique to familiesD.To emphasize the value of informal roles to a group答案:1.C 2.DThe many part of the earth’s atmosphere are linked with the various parts of the earth’s surface to produce a whole---the climate system. Different parts of the earth’s surface react to the energy of the sun in different ways. For example, ice and snow reflect much of it. Land surfaces absorb solar energy and heat up rapidly. Oceans store the energy without experiencing a significant temperature rise. Thus, the different types of surfaces transfer heat into the atmosphere at different rates.We can view climate as existing in three domains: space, time, and human perception. In the domain of space, we can study local, regional, and global climates. In time, we can look at the climate for a year, a decade, a millennium, and so forth. Finally, we depend on our perceptions of the data, so we must include our own human perception into our model. Human perception must be included if our understanding of climatic processes is to be translated into societal actions. As a society, we make informed choices about how to use the beneficial effects of climate, such as deciding when and where to plant crops. We also make choices about how to minimize the harmful effects of climate---storms, blizzards, and droughts.1.Why does the author discuss different parts of the earth’s surface in paragraph 1?A.To explain why humans live in some parts but not in othersB.To show that the entire earth is made of the same materialsC.To compare how various surfaces transfer heat into the atmosphereD.To describe changes in the earth’s appearance throughout the year.2.According to the author, why must we include human perception in our study of climate?A.We must interpret data and take actions related to climateB.We must create an interesting model of the climate systemC.We must develop an understanding of our environmentD.We must change our traditional ways of studying climate.答案:1.C 2.A托福考试阅读模拟试题2Sports CommentaryOne of the most interesting and distinctive of all uses of language is commentary. An oral reporting of ongoing activity, commentary is used in such public arenas as political ceremonies, parades, funerals, fashion shows and cooking demonstrations. The most frequently occurring type of commentary may be that connected with sports and games. In sports there are two kinds of commentary, and both are often used for the same sporting event. “play-by-play” commentary narrates the sports event, while “color –adding” or “color” commentary provides the audience with pre-event background, during-event interpretation, and post-event evaluation. Color commentary is usually conversational in style and can be a dialogue with two or more commentators.Play-by-play commentary is of interest to linguists because it is unlike other kinds of narrative, which are typically reportedin past tense. Play-by-play commentary is reported in present tense. Some examples are “he takes the lead by four” and “she’s in position.” One linguist character izes radio play-by-play commentary as “a monologue directed at an unknown, unseen mass audience who voluntarily choose to listen…and provide no feedback to the speaker.” It is these characteristics that make this kind of commentary unlike any other type of speech situation.。
