TPO 6 Lecture 2 Biology Narrator Listen to part of a lecture in a biology class. Professor Ok, I have an interesting plant species to discuss with you today. Um…it’s a species of a very rare tree that grows in Australia, Eidothea hardeniana, but it’s better known as the Nightcap Oak. Now, it was discovered only very recently, just a few years ago. Um…it remained hidden for so long because it’s so rare. There are only about 200 of them in existence. They grow in a rain forest, in a mountain rage…range in the north part of New South Wales which is a…er… state in Australia. So just 200 individual trees in all. Now another interesting thing about the Nightcap Oak is that it is…it represents…er…a very old type…er…kind of tree that grew a hundred million years ago. Um, we found fossils that old that bear remarkable resemblance to the tree. So, it’s a primitive tree. A…a living fossil you might say. It’s relic from earlier times and it has survived all these years without much change. And it…it’s probably a kind of tree from which other trees that grow in Australia today evolved. Just to give you an idea of what we are talking about. Here’s a picture of the leaves of the tree and its flowers. I don’t know how well you can see the flowers. They’re those little clusters sitting at the base of the leaves. Okay, what have we tried to find out about the tree since we’ve discovered it? Hum…or how…why is…is it so rare? That’s one of the first questions. Um… how is it…um…how does it reproduce? This’s another question. Um, maybe those two questions are actually related. Jim? Student Hum …I don’t know. But I can imagine that…for instance, seed disposal might be a factor. I mean if the…er…you know, if the seeds cannot really disperse in the wild area, then, you know, the tree may not colonize new areas. It can’t spread from the area where it’s growing. Professor Right. That’s…that’s actually a very good answer. Um, of course, you might think there might not be any areas where the tree could spread into, er…because…um…well, it’s very specialized in terms of the habitat. But, that’s not really the case here. Um…the suitable habitat, that is, the actual rainforest is much larger than the few hectares where the Nightcap Oak grows. Now this tree is a flowering tree as I showed you. Um…um…it produces a fruit, much like a plum. On the inci…inside there’s a seed with a hard shell. It…it appears that the shell has to crack open or break down somewhat to allow the seed to soak up water. You know, if the Nightcap Oak remains…if their seeds remain locked inside their shell, they will not germinate. Actually, the seeds…er…they don’t retain the power to germinate for very long, maybe two years. So there’s actually quite a short window of opportunity for the seed to germinate. So the shell somehow has to be broken down before this…um…germination ability expires. And…and then there’s a kind of rat that likes to feed on the seeds as well. So, given all these limitations, not many seeds that the tree produces will actually germinate. So this is a possible explanation for why the tree does not spread. It doesn’t necessarily explain how it became so rare, but it explains why it doesn’t increase. OK, so it seems to be the case that the species, this Nightcap Oak is not very good at spreading. However, it seems, though we can’t be sure, that it’s very good at persisting as a population. Um…we…there’s some indications to suggest that the population of the Nightcap Oak has not declined over the last er…you know, many hundreds of years. So it’s stayed quite stable. It’s not a remnant of some huge population that is dwindled in last few hundred years for some reason. It’s not necessarily a species in retreat. Ok, so it cannot spread very well, but it’s good at maintaining itself. It’s rare, but it’s not disappearing. Ok, the next thing we might want to ask about the plant like that is what chances does it have to survive into the future. Let’s look at that.TPO 6 Conversation 2 Narrator Listen to a conversation between a student and a professor. Student Professor Martin? Professor Uh, hi, Lisa, what can I do for you? Student Well, I’ve been thinking about, you know, what you were saying in class last week, about how we shouldn’t wait until the last minute to find an idea and get started working on our term paper. Professor Good, good, and have you come up with anything? Student Well, yeah, sort of. See, I’ve never had a linguistics class before, so I was sort of, I mean, I was looking over the course description and a lot of the stuff you described there, I just don’t know what it is talking about, you know, or what it means. But there was one thing that really did jump out at me Professor Yes? Student The section on dialects, cos…like, that’s the kind of thing that’s always sort of intrigued me, you know? Professor Well, that’s certainly an interesting topic. But you may not realize, I mean, the scope... Student Well, especially now, cos I’ve got like one roommate who is from the south and another one from New York. And we all talk like totally different, you know? Professor Yes, I understand. But… Student But then I was noticing, like, we don’t really get into this till the end of the semester, you know. So I… Professor So, you want some pointers where to go for information on the subject? Well, you could always start by reading the chapter in the book on social linguistics. That will give you a basic understanding of the key issues involved here. Student Yeah, that’s what I thought. So I started reading the chapter, you know, about how everyone speaks some dialect of a language. And I’m wondering like, well, how do we even manage to understand each other at all? Professor Ah, yes, an interesting question. You see… Student So then I read the part about dialect accommodation. You know, the idea that people tend to adapt their speaking to make it closer to the speech of whomever they’re talking to, and I’m thinking, yeah, I do that when I talk with my roommates, and without even thinking about it or anything, you know. Professor OK, all right. Dialect accommodation is a more manageable sort of topic. Student So I was thinking like, I wonder just how much other people do the same thing. I mean, there are students here from all over the place. Does everyone change the way they talk to some degree depending on whom they are talking to? Professor You’d be surprised. Student So, anyway, my question is, do you think it’d be OK if I did a project like that for my term paper? You know, find students from different parts of the country, record them talking to each other in different combinations, report on how they accommodate their speech or not, that kind of thing? Professor Tell you what, Lisa, write me up a short proposal for this project, how you’re going to carry out the experiment and everything, a design plan. And I think this’ll work out just fine.TPO 6 Lecture 3 Creative Writing Narrator Listen to part of a lecture in a creative writing class. Professor Alright everybody, the topic for today is, well, we're gonna take a look at how to start creating the characters for the story you're writing. One way of doing that is to come up with what's called “a character sketch”, I don't mean a sketch like a drawing, Iguess that's obvious. It's um…it's a…a sketch as a way of getting started on defining your characters' personalities. To begin, how do we create fictional characters? We don't just pull them from thin air, do we? I mean we don't create them out of nothing. We base them, consciously or unconsciously, we base them on real people, or we blend several people's traits, their attributes into one character. But when people think fiction, they may assume the characters come from the author's imagination. But the writer's imagination is influenced by… by real people, could be anyone, so, pay attention to the people you meet, someone in class, at the gym, that guy who is always sitting in the corner of the coffee house, um… your cousin, who's always getting into dangerous situations. We're pulling from reality, gathering bits and pieces of real people. You use these people, and the bits of behavior or characteristics as a starting point as you begin to sketch out your characters. Here is what you should think about doing first. When you begin to formulate a story, make a list of interesting people you know or have observed. Consider why they're unique or annoying. Then make notes about their unusual or dominant attributes. As you create fictional characters, you'll almost always combine characteristics from several different people on your list to form the identity and personality of just one character. Keeping this kind of character sketch can help you solidify your character's personality, so that it remains consistent throughout your story. You need to define your characters, know their personalities so that you can have them acting in ways that are predictable, consistent with their personalities. Get to know them like a friend, you know your friends well enough to know how they'll act in certain situations, right? Say you have three friends, their car runs out of gas on the highway. John gets upset. Mary remains calm. Teresa takes charge of handling the situation. And let's say, both John and Mary defer to her leadership. They call you to explain what happen. And when John tells you he got mad, you're not surprised, because he always gets frustrated when things go wrong. Then he tells you how Teresa took charge, calmed him down, assigned tasks for each person and got them on their way. Again, you're not surprised. It's exactly what you'd expect. Well, you need to know your characters, like you know your friends. If you know a lot about a person's character, it's easy to predict how they'll behave. So if your character's personalities are well defined, it will be easy for you as the writer to portray them realistically…er… believably, in any given situation. While writing character sketches, do think about details. Ask yourself questions, even if you don't use the details in your story, um…what does each character like to eat, what setting does each prefer, the mountains, the city, what about educational background, their reactions to success or defeat, write it all down. But, here I need to warn you about a possible pitfall. Don't make you character into a stereotype. Remember the reader needs to know how your character is different from other people who might fall in the same category. Maybe your character loves the mountains and has lived in a remote area for years. To make sure he is not a stereotype, ask yourself how he sees life differently from other people who live in that kind of setting. Be careful not to make him into the cliché of the “ragged mountain dweller”. Okay, now, I'll throw out a little terminology. It's easy stuff. Major characters are sometimes called “roun d c h a r a c t e r s . M i n o r c h a r a c t e r s a r e s o m e t i m e s c a l l e d , w e l l , j u s t t h e o p p o s i t e , f l a t .

托福范文及赏析-TPO24独立写作-智课网

智课网TOEFL备考资料托福TPO独立写作TPO24One of the best ways that parents can help their teenage children prepare for adult life is to encourage them to take a part-time job.题目翻译父母帮助十几岁孩子成长为成年人的最佳方式之一是鼓励他们去做兼职工作。
审题关键词Teenage children, Adult life, Take a part-time job论证分析正: First and foremost, taking part-time job will definitely cultivate children's sense of independence and other abilities, which is very important to their future career and life.正:Besides, taking part-time job will also make children understand that earning money is not so much easy as they thought before.补:However, parents should help their teenagers to realize the balance between part-time job and study.范文Before a teenager becomes a young adult and earns their own living, his or her parents must help them to prepare for future life so that they can become totally independent. There must be many ways to help these ambitious young people, but in my point of view, part-time jobs should be the most appropriate way to help them. By taking part-time jobs at a young age, the young generation can be incorporated into the society without suffering.By taking part-time jobs, teenagers can appreciate hard working and cherish the money they have made. Therefore, in the future, they are more likely to become hard-working adults and know how to do finance management. Take myself as an example. I used to be very lazy and usually wasted my pocket money on useless things. But one summer vacation, I took a part-time job as a tutor. It was not an easy job because the kid I taught was really naughty and the weather was really hot, but finally I got good pay. After that, I did not waste any money, and I knew the value of hard-working.Additionally, by taking some part-time jobs, teenagers will learn some useful communicating techniques. This is very essential since we all live in a society and we have to communicate with different kinds of people almost every day. One of my friends took a part-time job as a waiter. He had to deal with a lot of different situations and had to cater for different customers. Time passed, he became very good at communicating with different people, but in the past he was really shy and unwilling to speak to strange people! The part-time job helped to lift him to a new height.Moreover, since teenagers accumulate useful experiences from part-time jobs, they are more likely to gain success in their future career. In addition, sometimes taking part-time jobs may offer teenagers good opportunities. My sister, when she was a junior, took a part-time job in a big company. During that time, her hard work and intelligence impressed her boss. Then her boss gave her an offer and after her graduation, she became one of the employees of the big company. Now she makes a very good living and works happily in this company. Chances are invaluable and we need to find ways to get the chances.So, to conclude, though there may be other ways, I believe that taking part-time jobs will be the best way to prepare a teenager to be an ambitious adult. Parents who plan to help their teenagers prepare for future life can take part-time jobs into consideration.满分要素剖析语言表达本文长短句结合,错落有致,流畅自然。

托福TPO24口语Task6听力文本: Listen to part of a lecture in a literature class. (female professor) Authors of fiction, um, short stories and novels, of course have many decisions to make when they're writing their works. One of those decisions is how they are going to narrate or tell the story. What perspective or what point of view the story would be told from? So, authors need to choose a type of narrator, some person or voice to tell the story. And this narrator can affect the readers' experience when they read the story.Now, the author might choose to have an objective narrator. An objective narrator can describe what people, the characters in the story, what they do and what they say, but that's about all. So, suppose we have a story, for example, that is about a man and woman about to take a trip. When the story is told by an objective narrator, the only information that we get as readers is what the characters say to each other, what they do. They get on the train, they sit down, they look out the window, that’s all. And this leaves questions that force the reader to interpret the events, to fill in information and decide what the characters’ conversation and actions might mean. Another kind of narrator an author might use is an omniscient narrator. In this case, the narrator, the voice that is telling the story, knows everything, and I mean everything about the characters. So, let’s imagine our same man and woman traveling but described by an omniscient narrator. Not only do we, the readers, know what they do and say, but we also know what they’re thinking. For example, we’re told that the couple is going to visit an old friend of the man ’s and we learn what the man is thinking that he is nervous because he hasn’t seen his friend in a long time, that he is worried if his wife would like the friend. So an omniscient narrator provides more information and answers questions that the reader might have about the characters or the action. 托福TPO24口语Task6题目: Using the examples from the lecture, discuss two types of narrators that an author of fiction might use. 托福TPO24口语Task6满分范文: There're two types of narrator/perspectives of storytelling. The first one is objective narrator, by which the writer only shows what the characters say and what they do, and leaves the rest to the readers to imagine and fill in the information. For example, there's story in which a man and a woman are about to take a trip, and we only know that they get on the train and look out the window, but we have no idea what they're thinking. Objective narrator doesn't provide the information. But byomniscient narrator, the readers can know everything about the characters, including what they're thinking and why they do the things they do. Back to the train story, by omniscient narrator, we probably will not only know that they're on a trip, but also know that they go on the trip to visit one of the man's old friends, and the man is worrying about what to say to his friend since they haven't seen each other for a while and whether his wife would like his friend.

托福TPO24综合写作阅读原文文本: Animal fossils usually provide very little opportunity to study the actual animal tissues, because in fossils the animals' living tissues have been largely replaced by minerals. Thus, scientists were very excited recently when it appeared that a 70-million-year-old fossil of Tyrannosaurus rex (T. rex), a dinosaur, might still contain remains of the actual tissues of the animal. The discovery was made when researchers deliberately broke open the T. rex’s leg bone, thereby exposing its insides to reveal materials that seem to be remains of blood vessels, red blood cells, and collagen matrix. First, the breaking of the fossilized leg bone revealed many small branching channels inside, which probably correspond to hollows in the bones where blood vessels were once located. The exciting finding was the presence of a soft, flexible organic substance inside the channels. This soft substance may very well represent the remains of the actual blood vessels of T. rex. Second, microscopic examination of the various parts of the inner bone revealed the presence of spheres that could be the remains of red blood cells. Tests showed that the spheres contained iron-a material vital to the role of red blood cells in transporting oxygen to tissues. Moreover, the spheres had dark red centers (substances with iron tend to be reddish in color) and were also about the size of red blood cells. Third, scientists performed a test on the dinosaur leg bone that showed that it contained collagen. Collagen is a fibrous protein that is a main component of living bone tissue, in which it forms a so-called collagen matrix. Collagen (or its chemical derivatives) is exactly the kind of biochemical material that one would expect to find in association with bone tissue. 托福TPO24综合写作听力原文文本: As much as we would like to have the remains of actual dinosaur tissue, there are sound reasons for being skeptical of the identifications made in the reading.First, the soft, flexible substance inside the bone channels isn't necessarily the remains of blood vessels. It is much more likely to be something else. Like what? You might say. Well, long after an organism is died, bacteria sometimes colonize hollows, empty areas in bones, like the channels that once held blood vessels. When bacteria lived inside bones, they often leave behind traces of organic material. What the researchers in the reading are identifying as blood vessels might just be traces of soft and moist residue left by bacteria colonies.All right. What about the iron-filled spheres? Well, the problem is that scientists found identical reddish spheres in fossils of other animals found in the same place. That includes fossils of primitive animals that did not have any red blood cells when they were alive. Clearly, if these spheres appear in organisms that did not have any red blood cells, then the spheres cannot be the remains of red blood cells. The spheres probablyhave a very different origin. They are probably just pieces of reddish mineral.Third, the collagen. The problem is that we have never found collagen in animal remains that are older than one hundred thousand years. Collagen probably cannot last longer than that. Finding collagen from an animal that lived seventy million years ago would really contradict our ideas about how long collagen can last. It is just too improbable. The most likely explanation for the presence of collagen is that it doesn't come from the T. rex, but from another much more recent source. For example, human skin contains collagen, so the collagen may have come from the skin of the researchers who are handling the bone. 托福TPO24综合写作满分范文: The reading passage points out three evidences that indicate the existence of actually tissue in dinosaur fossil. However, the professor doubts the accuracy of these evidences. In fact, he offers some alternative explanations for the substances found in the fossil. First and foremost, he challenges the existence of blood vessels. Instead, he points out that bacteria may occupy the hollows inside the bones. Therefore, it is highly possible that the soft substance in the branching channels of the bone is the moist residue of bacteria, rather than blood vessels of the dinosaur. Moreover, the professor casts doubt about the red substance in sphere, which according to the reading passage is the remain of red blood cells. In fact, the professor claims that this red substance was also found in some other animals, which lived in the same place but had no red blood vessels at all. The professor argues that the sphere can be pieces of red minerals. Additionally, the professor doubts the existence of collagen in the fossil. On the contrary to the reading passage, he points out that the earliest collagen that has ever found is in fossils 100000 ago. It is unlikely for collagen to last for more than 70 million years. As a result, the professor suggests that the collagen may come from recent sources, such as the skin of researchers who handed the fossil. 以上是给大家整理的托福TPO24综合写作阅读原文+听力原文+满分范文,希望对你有所帮助!。

综合写作tpo24综合写作范文英文回答:The reading passage discusses the benefits of online education and argues that it is a more effective and efficient way of learning compared to traditional classroom education. The professor, on the other hand, refutes the claims made in the reading and presents counterarguments.The reading passage claims that online education offers flexibility and convenience to students, as they can access course materials and lectures at their own pace and time. However, the professor argues that this flexibility can lead to procrastination and lack of discipline. He states that many online students struggle to keep up with the course materials and often fall behind.中文回答:阅读文章提到了在线教育的好处,并认为它是一种比传统课堂教育更有效和高效的学习方式。

托福TPO6口语task6题目 Listening Part:Now listen to part of a talk in an Education class.(female professor)One of the hardest parts of teaching is keeping your students’ attention.Now, the key to doing this is understanding the concept of attention. Basically,there are two types of attention. The first type is active, active attention isvoluntary. It’s when you intentionally make yourself focus on something. Andsince it requires effort, it’s hard to keep up for long a time. OK, so, um,let’s say you are teaching a Biology class. And today’s topic is frogs. Allright? You’re standing in front of the room lecturing: a frog is a type ofanimal known as an amphibian…, well, this isn’t necessarily going to keep thestudents’ interest. But most of them will force themselves to pay activeattention to your lecture. But it’s only a matter of time before they getdistracted.Now, the other type of attention is passive attention, when it’s involuntary. Passive attention requires no effort because it happens naturally. If something is really interesting students don’t have to force themselves to pay attention to it. They do it without even thinking about it. So back to our Biologylecture, you start talking about frogs and then you pull a live frog out of your briefcase. You’re describing it while holding it up. Show the students how long its legs are, and how they’re used for jumping, for example. Then maybe even let the frog jump around a bit on the desk or the floor. In this case, by doing something unexpected, something more engaging, you can tap into their passive attention. And it can last much longer than active attention. As long as thefrog is still there your students will be interested.托福TPO6口语task6题目 Question:Using points and examples from the talk, explain the difference betweenactive and passive attention.托福TPO6口语task6 答案解析:1. Listening key(1.1) Main idea: active and passive attention(1.2) Active attention: forced(1.2.1) Example:(1.2.1.1) A teacher teaches a class by only reading from textbooks(1.2.1.2) Students will get bored, yet they’d still try to focus(1.2.1.3) But they will get distracted soon because this attention isforced(1.3) Passive attention: happens naturally(1.3.1) Example:(1.3.1.1) A teacher teaches with a live frog, let it jump around a bit(1.3.1.2) Students get interested in what’s happening, their concentration happens naturally(1.3.1.3) As long as the frog is on the table, students will have no problem focusing on the lecture托福TPO6口语task6 范文:The professor talks about two kinds of attention in the lecture. The first type is active attention which is voluntary. For example, if a biology teacher teaches a class by only reading from a textbook, the class can become fairlyboring. Most students would force themselves to focus, but sooner or later, the students will be distracted. The second type of attention is passive attention, let’s say instead of reading from a textbook, the teacher pulls a live frog out of his bag, then the lecture becomes really interesting. As long as the frog is on the table, the students will be able to focus on the lecture.本文部分信息来源于新东方在线。

tpo24口语task6范文TPO24口语Task 6范文。
In the lecture, the professor talks about two ways that animals use coloration for protection.The first way is called camouflage. It's like when an animal blends in with its surroundings so that it's really hard for predators to spot them. For example, there's a kind of insect called the stick insect. Man, this thing looks just like a twig! It's long and skinny, and it has the samecolor as the branches in its habitat. When a bird, which is a predator, is flying around looking for food, it'll have a really tough time seeing the stick insect. Because the stick insect is so well disguised as a twig, it can just sit there and be safe. It's like the insect is wearing a super effective invisibility cloak made of nature.The second way is warning coloration. Some animals have really bright and eye catching colors that are like a big sign saying “Stay away from me, I'm dangerous or nasty!” Take the poison dart frog for instance. Thislittle frog is super colorful. It has bright reds, blues, and yellows all over it. Now, predators in the frog's area learn really quickly that these bright colors mean trouble. They know that if they eat the poison dart frog, they'll get sick or even die because the frog is poisonous. So, the bright colors are like a warning label. It's as if the frog is shouting, “Hey,don't you dare take a bite of me, or you'll be sorry!” This way, the frog can protect itself without having to be all sneaky like the stick insectwith camouflage.。
2024托福口语范文

2024托福口语范文一、Task 1 个人偏好类。
题目: Do you prefer to study in a group or study alone?范文: Well, you know, I'm more into studying alone. Here's the deal. When I study alone, I can really focus on my own rhythm. I don't have to worry about others' pace. For example, if I'm trying to figure out a super tough math problem, I can just take my time, think deeply without any interruption. And I can also be as weird as I want. I might talk to myself, make funny faces when I finally understand a concept. But in a group, it's often a mess. There are always some people chatting off topic, or somemight be too bossy and want to lead the whole study session in their own way. So, yeah, for me, studying alone is the way to go.二、Task 2 校园生活类。
题目: The university is planning to build a new cafeteria. Which ofthe following do you think is the most important feature? 1. Having a wide variety of food. 2. Having a large dining area. 3. Having affordable prices.范文: Oh, man, this is a tough one. But if I have to choose, I'd say having affordable prices is the most crucial. Look, as a student, most ofus are on a tight budget. We can't afford to splurge on food every day. I mean, who wants to be broke just because they had a meal? Sure, a wide variety of food sounds great. You can try different things. And a large dining area? Well, it's nice to have space. But if the prices are sky high, it doesn't matter how much variety there is or how big the place is. Idon't want to have to choose between paying my tuition and having a decent meal. So, affordable prices should be the top priority for the new cafeteria.三、Task 3 学术类(阅读 + 听力)阅读部分:The university is considering a new policy called "Green Campus Initiative." The aim is to reduce energy consumption on campus. One way to do this is to install solar panels on the rooftops of campus buildings. This can generate electricity from sunlight, which can be used to power lights, computers, and other electrical devices in the buildings.听力部分:The man in the conversation supports the idea. He says that currently, the electricity bill of the university is really high. By using solar panels, they can save a lot of money in the long run. Also, it's good for the environment. He mentions that he has seen other campuses doing this and they have become much more environmentally friendly. He also says that students can learn from this. They can see how clean energy works and it might inspire them to be more environmentally conscious in their own lives.范文: So, there's this "Green Campus Initiative" about installing solar panels on campus buildings. And the guy in the conversation is allfor it. I'm with him too. First off, the money thing. The university spends a fortune on electricity. With solar panels, they can cut down on those costs big time. It's like, instead of pouring money into the power company's pockets, they can use it for other cool stuff on campus, like improving the library or getting new equipment for the labs. And thenthere's the environmental part. It's so important these days. We need to be more green. If our campus does this, it can be a role model. Students will see the solar panels every day and think, "Hey, that's a great way to save energy." It might even make them more aware of their own energy usinghabits. So, overall, this "Green Campus Initiative" with the solar panelsis a really good idea.四、Task 4 学术类(仅听力)听力内容:The professor is talking about a concept called "co sleeping" in animals. Co sleeping is when animals sleep together in groups. There aretwo main benefits. One is protection. For example, meerkats live in groups and sleep together. When they sleep, there are always some meerkats on guard. If a predator comes, the guards can alert the others, and they canall run away together. So, by sleeping together, they increase their chances of survival. Another benefit is warmth. Small animals like mice, in cold winters, will huddle together when they sleep. Their body heat combines, and they can keep warm. This way, they can survive in harshwinter conditions.范文: So, the professor was talking about this really interestingthing called "co sleeping" in animals. It's basically when animals snooze together in groups. And there are some really cool reasons for it. First, there's protection. Take meerkats, for instance. They're all cuddled up together when they sleep. But not all of them are just sleeping soundly. There are some meerkats on lookout duty. So, if some big bad predator shows up, those guards can be like, "Hey, everyone, wake up! Danger!" And thenall the meerkats can skedaddle together. That's way better than sleeping alone and being an easy target. Then there's the warmth factor. Little mice in the cold winter, they're like, "Brr, it's freezing." So, what do they do? They all huddle up together when they sleep. Their body heat gets all mixed together, and they can stay nice and warm. It's like they're having alittle furry friend powered heater. So, "co sleeping" is a super smart survival strategy for animals.。

TPO24 综合写作听力+阅读原文ReadingAnimal fossils usually provide very little opportunity to study the actual animal tissues, because in fossils the animals' living tissues have been largely replaced by minerals. Thus, scientists were very excited recently when it appeared that a70-million-year-old fossil of Tyrannosaurus rex (T. rex), a dinosaur, might still contain remains of the actual tissues of the animal. The discovery was made whenresearchers deliberately broke open the T. rex’s leg bone, thereby exposing its insides to reveal materials that seem to be remains of blood vessels, red blood cells, and collagen matrix.First, the breaking of the fossilized leg bone revealed many small branching channels inside, which probably correspond to hollows in the bones where blood vessels were once located. The exciting finding was the presence of a soft, flexible organic substance inside the channels. This soft substance may very well represent the remains of the actual blood vessels of T. rex.Second, microscopic examination of the various parts of the inner bone revealed the presence of spheres that could be the remains of red blood cells. Tests showed that the spheres contained iron-a material vital to the role of red blood cells in transporting oxygen to tissues. Moreover, the spheres had dark red centers (substances with iron tend to be reddish in color) and were also about the size of red blood cells.Third, scientists performed a test on the dinosaur leg bone that showed that it contained collagen. Collagen is a fibrous protein that is a main component of living bone tissue, in which it forms a so-called collagen matrix. Collagen (or its chemical derivatives) is exactly the kind of biochemical material that one would expect to find in association with bone tissue.ListeningAs much as we would like to have the remains of actual dinosaur tissue, there are sound reasons for being skeptical of the identifications made in the reading.First, the soft, flexible substance inside the bone channels isn’t necessarily the remains of blood vessels. It is much more likely to be something else. Like what? You might say. Well, long after an organism is died, bacteria sometimes colonize hollows, empty areas in bones, like the channels that once held blood vessels. When bacterialived inside bones, they often leave behind traces of organic material. What the researchers in the reading are identifying as blood vessels might just be traces of soft and moist residue left by bacteria colonies.All right. What about the iron-filled spheres? Well, the problem is that scientists found identical reddish spheres in fossils of other animals found in the same place. That includes fossils of primitive animals that did not have any red blood cells when they were alive. Clearly, if these spheres appear in organisms that did not have any red blood cells, then the spheres cannot be the remains of red blood cells. The spheres probably have a very different origin. They are probably just pieces of reddish mineral.Third, the collagen. The problem is that we have never found collagen in animal remains that are older than one hundred thousand years. Collagen probably cannot last longer than that. Finding collagen from an animal that lived seventy million years ago would really contradict our ideas about how long collagen can last. It is just too improbable. The most likely explanation for the presence of collagen is that it doesn’t come from the T.rex, but from another much more recent source. For example, human skin contains collagen, so the collagen may have come from the skin of the researchers who are handling the bone.由于篇幅有限,托福综合写作满分范文,在雷哥托福微信公众号获取。

托福TPO4口语Task6听力文本: Listen to part of a talk in an Art Appreciation class. Professor (female): In order for art to communicate, to appeal to the emotions or the intellect, it has to combine various visual elements to express meaning or emotion. It’s really the visual components of the work, things like color, texture, shape, lines and how these elements work together that tell us something about the work. Artists combine and manipulate these visual elements to express a message or to create a mood. Think about how a painter might use colors, for example. You all know from experience that different colors appeal in different ways to the senses and can convey different meanings. An artist chooses certain colors to evoke a particular mood and make powerful statements. The color red, for example, is a strong color, and can conjure up strong emotions such as extreme joy or excitement or even anger. Blue, on the other hand, is considered a cool color. Blue colors tend to have a calming effect on viewers. Another visual element important to art is texture. By texture I mean surface quality or feel of the work, its smoothness or roughness or softness. Now, of course, in some types of art the texture is physical. It can be actually be touched by the fingers. But in painting, for example, texture can be visual. The way an artist paints certain areas of the painting can create the illusion of texture, an object’s smoothness or roughness or softness. A rough texture can evoke stronger emotions and strength while a smooth texture is more calming and less emotional. As I said earlier, artists often combine elements to convey a message about the work. Take a painting that, say, uses a lot of strong colors like reds and oranges and uses brush stokes that are broad, wide sweeping brush strokes that suggest a rough texture. Well, these elements together can convey a wilder more chaotic emotion in the viewer than, more than say a painting with tiny, smooth brush stokes and soft or pale colors. Artists use these visual effects and the senses they arouse to give meaning to their work. 托福TPO4口语Task6题目: Using points and examples from the lecture, explain the importance of visual elements in painting. 托福TPO4口语Task6满分范文: In the lecture, the professor says in order for art to express meaning or emotion, artists need to combine various visual elements such as color and texture. Different colors can evoke different moods. Red is a strong color so it evokes strong emotions such as extreme joy, excitement and anger, whereas blue is a cool color so it evokes calming effect. As for texture, a rough texture can evoke strong emotions and strength, while a smooth texture is more calming and less emotional. Artists need to combine these elements to express meaning or convey message. For example, if a painting uses strong colors such as red and orange and uses brush strokes to give a rough texture, it will convey a wilder and more chaotic emotion in a viewer than a painting with soft colors and smooth texture. 以上是给大家整理的托福TPO4口语Task6听力文本+题目+满分范文,希望对你有所帮助!。

Can you tell me where to find New Kind of Science? By, uh, by Stephen Wolfram.Clerk: OKStudent: ...uh, I couldn't find itClerk: OK. Let me look it up on the computer for you. Who would you say the author was?Student: It's a Stephen Wolfram.Clerk: OK. Let's see... Hmm... no, it's not coming up. Hmm..,. I am not seeing itStudent: Um...hmm.Clerk: This is for a course here at the university, right?Student: Y eah, It's assigned reading for a class I am taking.Clerk: It's for the semester, right? Y ou are not buying it in advance for next year or anything.Student: No, no. It's for a class I am taking now.Clerk: Hmm...Student: Oh, oh, you know what? Um, it's for a graduate class. Would that maybe make a difference? I mean, I am an undergrad, but I am just taking this one class in the graduate department, so...Clerk: No, no. I don't think that's it. That shouldn't make any difference. But, hmm... let me see... maybe it's just...it could be that whoever that entered it misspelled the title or the author's name, so I can't find it on the computer and I can't tell if it's sold out. But if it's sold out, we would probably be getting a new shipment within about a week or so.Student: Well, uh, I was hoping to get it sooner because like we already have assignments and you know, I mean, I guess I can get it from the library.Clerk: Right, of course. But I am trying to check. If we've ordered more, then that back orders information should be in the computer too. Let's see... back order... Wolfram, Stephen..,. no, no. I am not seeing it. I am sorry. We just don't seem to carry it.Student: Uh-huh.Clerk: This is odd though. What is...what's your professor's name? I could try searching for his or her classes in the database. That might helpStudent: Um...OK. It's professor Kayne.Clerk: K-A-N-E?Student: No. It's professor Kayne, K-A-Y-N-E. He's in the computer science department.Clerk: Oh. It's for a computer science course, is it?Student: Y eah.Clerk: Well, that must be it. Computer science books are sold across the street in the computer bookstore.Student: Are there signs up anywhere?Clerk: I don't know.Student: Maybe they should put some up. It could have save us both some time.Clerk: Y eah. Well, anyway, I'll bet that's the problem. Check across the street. I’ll bet they have it. But if not, come back, and I'll help you find it somewhere else. I can call around to see if other bookstores might have it. OK?Student: OK. Thanks a lot. ByeClerk: ByeLecture l-Biology (CrocodileVocalization)Narrator: Listen to part of a lecture in a Biology class.Professor: OK. For today, let's look at a reptile, a predator that hasn't evolved much in the last seventy million years. No discussion of reptiles would be complete without some mention of crocodiles.Now, we tend to think of crocodiles as, uh, kind of solitary, hiding out in a swamp, uh, kind of mysterious creatures. But we are finding out that they aren't as isolated as they seem. In fact, crocodiles interact with each other in a variety of ways. One way is with vocalizations, you know, sounds generated by the animal. This is true of the whole crocodile family, which includes crocodiles themselves, alligators, etc.Take American alligators. If you were to go to a swamp during the breeding season, you'd hear a chorus of sounds, deep grunts, hisses, these are sounds that male alligators make.And some of them are powerful enough to make the water vibrate. This sends a strong, go-away message to the other males. So the alligator can focus on sending other sound waves through the water, sound waves that you and I couldn't even hear since they are at such low frequency. But they do reach the female alligator, who then goes to find and mate with the male.V ocalization is um...well, it is used for other reasons, like getting attention or just, um... letting others know you are distressed. Let's see. New-born crocodiles, or hatchlings and their interactions with their mothers. When they are born, croc... baby crocodiles have a sort of muffled cry while they are in their nest. Hatchlings are really vulnerable, especially to birds and small mammals when they are born. But their mother, who has been keeping vigil nearby, hears their cry for help and carries them to safety, meaning, to water.So she takes them out of the nest. Uh, uh, all the eggs hatched at once, so she has about forty newborns to look after. Well, she takes about fifteen out of the nest at a time, carrying them in her mouth to the nearby water. While she is taking one load of hatchlings, the others wait for her to come back.But do you think they are quiet about it? No way. They are clamoring for the mother's attention, sort of squeaking and practically saying-don't forget about me!I heard some great examples of this on the television program on crocodiles last week. Anyone catched it? It had a few interesting bits. But you know, uh, you have to be careful, think critically. Sometimes I don't know where these shows find their experts.Student: Excuse me. But, um... does all that crying defeat the purpose? I mean, doesn't it attract more predators?Professor: Hmm...good question. I guess, well, I am guessing that once the babies have the mother's attention, they are safe. She's never too far away, and, and I think...I mean, would you mess with a mother crocodile?So after the mother transports all the youngsters, they still call to each other, and to their mother. This communication continues right through to adulthood. Crocodiles have about eighteen different sounds that they can make.There's...um...um… you have deep grunting sounds, hisses, growls, are many different sounds to interact or send messages. This is more typical of mammals than of reptiles. I mean, crocodiles' brains are the most developed of any reptile. In that sense, they are closer to mammals' brains than other reptiles' brains. And we know that mammals, dogs for example, dogs vocalize many different sounds. Crocodiles have a similar level of, uh, vocal sophistication, if you will, which makes them unique among reptiles.Another thing would be, um, if a hatchling gets separated from the rest of its family, once the others get far enough away, its survival instinct kicks in. It will make a loud distress call, which its siblings answer. It calls again. And they continue calling back and forth until they all find each other again.Another thing, something that wasn't on that TV show I mentioned. Um... mother crocodiles lead their young from one area to another, like when they have to find a different source of water. Usually she will lead them at night, when it is safer for them, moving ahead and then letting out calls of reassurance so that they will follow her. Her voice helps give the babies the courage they need to leave the area and go some place that's a more desirable home for them.Lecture2-Art History (Modern Dance) Narrator: Listen to part of a lecture in a dance history class.Professor: As we have been studying, ballet, the classical ballet, is based on formalized movements, specific positioning of the arms, feet and the body. So, now let's move on to modern dance, also known as theatrical dance. Modern dance evolved in the late nineteenth, early twentieth century, and in most cases, audiences were very receptive to this radical new type of performing art.Student: Um... what made modern dance so radical?Professor: Well, for example, I think the best analogy to modern dance is modern art or modern music. Compared to their classical predecessors, these newer art forms are freer, more experimental, more improvisational.Modern dance seeks to show how deep emotions and the music itself, how these intangible attributes can affect and inspire physical movement, and how movement can convey emotions to the audience. As I said, in classical ballet, emotions are conveyed through a set of strictly formalized movements.Now, a pioneer of modern dance was Isadora Duncan, who was born in 1878. Isadora Duncan did study ballet briefly as a child, but she quickly developed her own unique style, which she called free dance. And by age fourteen, she was teaching her free dance to young children and giving recitals.Her early dance technique was loosely based on the natural movements of children, running, skipping, acting out stories, also on motions from nature, waves crashing onto shore, trees swaying in the wind. Her expressive gestures were motivated from within rather than from being dictated by strict technique. Duncan also wore her hair down, ballerinas typically wear their hair in a tight bun behind the head. And instead of the short steep skirts and rigid toeshoes worn by ballerinas, Duncan wore loose, flowing tunics, and she dance bare foot. Now, that was something her audiences had never seen before.Duncan performed in Paris composers, but avoiding set audiences, for the most part, and other European cities, dancing to the music of classical movements and steps, no two performances were alike. And adored her.In 1904, she opened a school of modern dance in Berlin. And the next year she performed in Russia. But the Russian critics were not really kind. Some said Duncan's art form was closer to pantomime than to dance. But her style was a clear rebellion against ballet, and ballet is extremely important in Russia. A question, Julie?Student: Y eah. What did Duncan have against ballet? I mean, she studied it as a child.Professor: As a youngster, she might have found it too restrictive, uh, not creative enough. I think that feeling is exemplied by something that happened earlier in her career, in Russia. Duncan attended a ballet, and the lead dancer was the renowned Russian ballerina,Ana Pavlova. The following day, Pavlova invited Duncan to watch her practice.Duncan accepted but was appalled by what she saw. To her, the exercises that Pavlova and the other ballerinas were doing seemed painful, even harmful, standing on tiptoe for hours, moving their bodies in unnatural ways. After seeing this, Duncan publically denounced ballet as a form of acrobatics, uh, complicated and excruciating mechanism she called it. This critic generated I think some undue rivalry between ballet and modern dance, and it would take a long time, many years in fact, for the rivalry to calm down.Conversation 2一Student & Geography ProfessorNarrator: Listen to a conversation between a student and his geography professor.Student: Hi. Professor Brown.Professor: Hi. Paul. What can I do for you?Student: I have a question about the final exam. I mean, will it cover everything we've done all term? Or just what we've been doing since the mid-term exam.Professor: Everything we've done all term.Student: Oh, boy. Y ou know, I am still not too clear about the hydrologic cycle, um, the transfer of water back and forth between the earth and the atmosphere. I really blew the question about it on the mid-term exam. I want to do better on the final exam. But I am still having trouble with it.Professor: Well, uh, have you been to the tutoring center?Student: No, not for geography anyway. Isn't that just for when you need help with writing, like an essay or a research paper.Professor: Oh, no. you can get tutoring in a lot of subjects. Some graduate students from this department tutor there.Student: That's good to know. But I hardly go there because I have a part-time job. I never seem to be free when they are open.Professor: Well, they will be extending their hours when final exams begin. Y ou might try then. But um... Well, since you are here now, can I help you with something?Student: Well, the hydrologic cycle. I remember we went over a diagram in class. And from what I remember, water changes back and forth from water in lakes and oceans to vapor, and then back to water again when it falls as rain or snow, as precipitation. It's constantly being recycled through evaporation and condensation.Professor: That's it. Basically. Um... so exactly what is it you don't understand?Student: OK. I guess what I am really confused about is how the topography of the land, the mountains and valleys and stuff, affects precipitation.Professor: OK. Good question. Precipitation is influenced by topography among other things. Um, why don't we talk about lake-effect snow? It's a phenomenon that occurs anywhere you have a large lake that doesn't freeze and have cold air flowing over it, mostly in the Northern Hemisphere Student: Like the great lakes in the United States?Professor: Y eah. What happens is that the cold arctic air blows across the lake from the north in winter. And as the air crosses the lake, the lower layer is warmed by the lake water, which is much warmer than the arctic air. And as this air is warmed and picks up moisture, it becomes lighter than the air above it.Student: So it starts to rise, right?Professor: Y es. And clouds begin to form. When the air gets closer to the shore, it's slowed down by the land and starts to pile up. So it rises even faster because it has nowhere else to go, that's where topography comes into the picture.Student: And then it snows because as the air rises, it cools off and loses its capacity to hold water vapor.Professor: That's right.Student: OK. Thanks. Any chance you'll have this question on the final?Professor: I don't know yet. But you seem to have a handle on it.Lecture3-Archaeology (Megafauna in North America)Narrator: Listen to part of a lecture in an archaeology class.Professor: Between 11,000 and 10,000 B.C.E., North America was populated by a wide variety of great beasts, like mammoth and mastodons, both elephant-like creatures with big tusks, and camels, giant sloths, the list goes on. By about 10,000 B.C.E., all those giant creatures, the Metgauna of North America were gone. We don't know exactly what happened to them, but there are some theories.One theory is that they were hunted to extinction by humans. The humans who coexisted with these giant species in North America at that time were what we today called the Clovis Peopple. And there is a Clovis site in a valley in southern California where the remains of thirteen mammoths were found. And spear points, tools for processing meat, and fire places.That would appear to be some pretty compelling evidences. Mammoth bones have also been found at some other Clovis sites.But then at other Clovis sites, there's also a lot of evidence that the Clovis people mostly gather plants and hunted small game, like rabbits and wild turkeys. Also there are several places in North America where you have natural accumulations of mammoth bones that look very similar to the accumulations at the Clovis site, except there's no human debris, where the mammoth almost certainly died as a result of some kind of natural disaster. So I think it is quite likely that those thirteen mammoths in southern California also died of natural causes, and that the Clovis people simply took advantage of the situation. Um...OK. That's the hunting theory.Now let's look at another theory, uh, an alternative to the hunting theory, the climate change theory. At around 11,500 B.C.E.,the world was coming out of an Ice Age .And with that came increased seasonality, that is, the summers became warmer, and the winters actually became colder. These extreme shifts would have put a lot of stress on the bodies of animals that were used to a more moderate range of temperatures.But the most important impact of this increased seasonality may very well have been its effect on the distribution of plants.Today we take for granted that there horizontal bands of plant communities. In the far north, it is tundra, which gives way to forest as you move southward. And even farther south, grasslands take over. But during the Ice Age, these plant communities actually grew together, mixed with one another. So Ice Age animals had access to many different types of plants, different types of food. But when the seasons became more distinct, the plant communities were pulled apart, that meant, in any given area, there was less plant diversity. And as a result, uh, so the theory goes, the Ice Age animals that depended on plant diversity couldn't survive. And the great beasts were the ones that needed the most diversity in their diet. Again, we have what at first seems like a pretty attractive theory, but then, how do you explain the fact that this has happened before? Y ou know, global cooling followed by global warming, and there was no extinction then.Uh, you know, I recently read an interesting article about an archaeologist who tried to solve this puzzle with the help of his computer. What he did was, he wrote a computer program to simulate what would happen to mammoth under certain conditions. Say, for example, there is a drought for a couple of decades, or hunters are killing or five percent of the population, and so on.One thing he found was that humans didn't necessarily have to kill these animals in great numbers in order to nudge them toward extinction. That's because very large animals have a slow rate of reproduction, so all you have to do is remove a few young females from the herd, and you can, fairly quickly, significantly reduce the population. And then he came up with a scenario that combined some hunting by humans with some environmental stress, and...Bang! The simulated mammoths were extinct within decades.So it seems the mixture of hunting and climate change is a likely scenario. Uh, of course, computer simulations are not a substitute for hard evidence.Lecture4-Astronomy (Shield Volcanoes on Venus)Narrator: Listen to part of a lecture in an astronomy class.Professor: Many people have been fascinated about V enus for centuries because of its thick cloud cover, this so-called planet of mystery and all of that. Well, what's under those clouds? What's the surface of the planet like? Some questions about the surface are still unresolved but, but we have learned a lot about it in the past several years.First of all, let me talk about how we have been able to get past those clouds. First, there were Soviet modules2 that landed directly on the surface and sent back some images of what was around them. Second, we did some radar imaging from satellites from above. Radar can get through the clouds. So what have we learned? Yes, Karen?Student: Well, I remember reading that there's not really a lot going on, that the surface of V enus is just flat and smooth in a lot of places.Professor: Y eah, smooth in a lot of places. But that's not, um... that's not the whole picture. In other areas, you've got canyons, ripped valleys, meteo craters, uh, lava domes, these lava formations that look like giant pancakes. And also volcanoes.Well, one of the most interesting features on the surface are in fact the shield volcanoes. Shield volcanoes formed when magma comes out of the ground in the same spot over and over again. Remember, magma is hot molten rock that's underground, and it is called lava when it reaches the surface. Uh, so the lava builds up, and hardens, and a volcano forms.Now, the lava on V enus is thin. It spreads out easily. So shield volcanoes have very gentle sloping sides. They are called shield volcanoes, because viewed from above, they kind of resemble shields, you know, like a warrior's shield.But what's particularly interesting about these volcanoes is that most of the volcanoes here on Earth are not shield volcanoes. Instead, they are other volcano types, like strata volcanoes, for example, which are a result of tectonic plate movement. Remember tectonic plates?Underneath the Earth's crust, there are a number of shifting slabs or plates that are slowly moving. And in the zones on the edges of the plates where different plates meet and interact, that's where we get most of Earth's volcanoesOn V enus, however, volcanoes are not clustered in discrete zones like they are on Earth. Instead, they are more or less randomly scattered over V enus's surface. Well, that's significant. V enus has mostly shield volcanoes, and they are randomly scattered, that indicates that V enus does not have moving tectonic plates, and that's a big difference compared to Earth. Here on Earth, moving tectonic plates are a major geological element, just crucial for the whole surface dynamic, right?So why doesn't V enus have them? Well, there are a few theories. One of them is that this has to do with the fact that V enus has no surface water that's needed to kind of lubricate the movement of the plates, you know, like oceans on Earth. Y eah, I forgot to spell that out. Uh, V enus has no surface water.Student: Wait a second. Did you say we have shield volcanoes on Earth? Can you give an example?Professor: Sure. The volcanoes in the Hawaii islands, in the Pacific Ocean are shield volcanoes. They are formed over a hot spot of magma. So while on Earth we have several types of volcanoes, on V enus there's mostly the one type. Uh, Eric?Student: Are the volcanoes on V enus still active?Professor: Well, that's an interesting question. There is still some discussion on that point. But here's what we do now. First, the level of sulfur dioxide gas above V enus's clouds shows large and very frequent fluctuations. It is quite possible that these fluctuations, the huge increase and decrease of sulfur dioxide, happening again and again. It's quite possible that this is due to volcanic eruptions, because volcanic eruptions often emit gases. If that's the case, volcanism could very well be the root cause of V enus's thick cloud cover. And also we have observed bursts of radio energy from the planet's surface. These bursts are similar to what we see when volcanoes erupt on Earth. So this too suggestsongoing volcanic activity. But although this is intriguing evidence, no one's actually observed a V enus volcano erupting yet, so we can't be positive.Questions1.

托福TPO28口语Task6听力文本:Listen to part of a lecture from a geology class.(female professor) So, when we look at lakes, they seem to be permanent, we assume they'll be around forever. But in fact, lakes aren't permanent; they can actually disappear. Sometimes they disappear through natural processes, and sometimes because of human activities.First let's look at one way that lakes can disappear naturally, and that is, by gradually getting filled in with organic sediment. This often happens with lakes that have lots of plants growing in them. When the plants die, they break down into a muddy substance, which falls to the bottom of the lake, they're then replaced by new plants, which eventually also die and fall to the bottom. And over the years, all this dead plant material builds up on the bottom of the lake, and as builds up, it starts to fill up the lake, and there's less and less room for water, and eventually the lake gets completely filled in, and disappears.OK, lakes can also disappear,pretty rapidly sometimes, as a result of human activities. For example, we know that farmers need water to irrigate their crops. And sometimes to get that water, they pump that water out of a nearby lake. They install pipes that run from the lake to their farms, and they pump the water out of the lake and into their fields. Now that’s ok if the lake is continually being refilled with rainwater or with water from streams that run into the lake, but if there isn’t enough rainwater or stream water to replace the water the farmers take out of the lake, the lake will eventually dry up.托福TPO28口语Task6题目:Using points and examples from the lecture, describe two ways that lakes can disappear.托福TPO28口语Task6满分范文:One way that rivers or lakes disappear is by natural process. That is, the lake or river is gradually filled up with organic sediments. It usually happens with the lake or river where there're plenty of plants growing in it. When the plants die, they break into muddy substances that fall to the bottom of the lake or river, and then new plants grow on it, die on it, and again, become sediments over the first layer of debris. Over time, those sediments will pile up on the bottom of the lake or river until one day it gets completely filled in. Another is by human activities. Farmers need water to irrigate their crops, so sometimes they build pipes in nearby rivers or lakes to get water from them. Normally, the river or lake can be refilled by rainwater or streams that run into it. But in case of lack of refill, like drought, the lake or river will soon dry up.

tpo6口语答案范文

tpo6口语答案范文Task 1.题目:Talk about a photograph or painting you have seen that was memorable. Explain what you liked or disliked about it.答案:Well, there's this one painting that I saw in an art gallery that has really stuck with me. It was a Van Gogh, "Starry Night". Oh man, where do I start? I just love the way he used all those swirling lines. It's like the sky is alive and the stars are dancing. The colors are also super cool. The deep blues and the bright yellows create this really dreamy and sort of other worldly feeling. It makes me feel like I'm looking at a view from another planet or something. And I like how he painted the village in the foreground. It's so small compared to the huge sky, which gives you this sense of how vast the universe is and how tiny we humans are. There'sreally nothing I dislike about it. Every time I look at it, either in person or in a book, I get lost in it for a few minutes. It's like a little escape into a beautiful, crazy world.Task 2.题目:Some people have one career throughout their lives. Other people do different kinds of work at different points in their lives. Which do you think is better? Explain why.答案:Well, you know, I think doing different kinds of work atdifferent points in life can be really awesome. It's like having a whole bunch of different adventures. I mean, if you have just one career all your life, it can get kind of boring, right? You're just doing the same old thing day in and day out. But if you switch it up, you get to learn all kinds of new skills. For example, you could start off as a teacher, andthen later on decide to become a graphic designer. You get to meetdifferent people in different fields, and you have a lot more stories to tell. It's like living several different lives in one. On the other hand, having one career can give you a lot of stability and you can become an expert in that one area. But I still think the variety of changing careersis more exciting. It's like trying different flavors of ice cream insteadof just sticking to vanilla all your life.Task 3.题目:Reading: The university is planning to close the campus coffee shop because not many students use it. Also, it has been losing money for the past two years.Listening: The man disagrees. He says that the coffee shop is in a bad location. If it was moved to the student center, more students would go there. Also, he says that the coffee shop is losing money because it hasold equipment. If they bought new equipment, they could make better coffee and drinks faster, which would attract more customers.答案:Well, I don't think the university should close the campus coffee shop. The man in the conversation has some really good points. First of all, the location of the coffee shop is just all wrong. It's like they put it in a corner where no one can find it. If they moved it to the student center, that's like the heart of the campus. Everyone is always there, chatting, studying, or just hanging out. So of course more students would stop by for a cup of joe. And second, the old equipment is really a bummer. I mean, who wants to wait forever for a cup of coffee? If they got some new, shiny equipment, they could whip up those lattes and cappuccinos in no time. And the coffee would probably taste a whole lot better too. So instead ofclosing it down, the university should just give it a little makeover and anew location. It could be a really cool place for students to relax and get their caffeine fix.Task 4.题目:Reading: Concept of "emotional intelligence", which is theability to understand and manage one's own emotions and also to besensitive to others' emotions.Listening: The professor gives an example of a manager in a company. This manager was really good at her job in terms of getting work done. But she had a problem. She was always so stressed out and would get angryeasily at her employees. As a result, her employees were afraid of her and didn't want to work with her. Then she went to a workshop on emotional intelligence. She learned how to recognize when she was getting stressed and how to control her anger. She also became more aware of her employees' feelings. After that, the work environment improved a lot. Her employees were happier and more productive.答案:So, this emotional intelligence thing is really important, you know. Take that manager in the example. At first, she was like a ticking time bomb. She could get things done, but she was so bad with her emotions. She was stressed all the time and would just blow up at her employees. I bet those employees were walking on eggshells around her. But then she went to that workshop and learned about emotional intelligence. It was like she got a superpower. She could see when she was about to lose it and stop herself. And she started to care about how her employees were feeling too. That's when things got better. The employees were no longer scared and they could actually focus on their work. They were more productive because they were happy. So emotional intelligence is not just some fancy term. It can really make a difference in the workplace or in any situation where youhave to deal with people. It's like having a magic key to get along with others better.Task 5.题目:The woman's problem is that she has a really important group project due next week, but she also has a chance to go on a weekend trip with her friends which she has been looking forward to for a long time.Listening: One solution is that she could skip the trip and focus on the project. Another solution is that she could go on the trip and then work really hard on the project when she gets back.答案:Man, this is a tough situation for the girl. If I were her, I'd be so torn. I mean, on one hand, the group project is super important. If she skips the trip and focuses on it, she can make sure it's really good. She won't have to worry about rushing through it when she gets back. And her group members will probably be really happy that she's so dedicated. But on the other hand, that trip with her friends! She's been waiting forit for ages. It would be such a bummer to miss out. If she goes on the trip and then works hard when she gets back, she could still get the project done. But she might be really tired from the trip and stressed out trying to finish the project in a short time. I think I would probably go on the trip. I mean, life is short and we need to have some fun too. But I would make sure to bring my laptop and do a little bit of work on the project during the trip if I could, like maybe research some stuff. And then when I get back, I'd lock myself in my room and work like crazy on it.Task 6.题目:The lecture is about two ways that animals protect themselves from predators. One way is by using camouflage, and the other way is by having aposematic coloration (warning coloration).Listening: For camouflage, the professor gives the example of a stick insect. It looks exactly like a stick. So when a predator is looking for food, it's really hard to spot the stick insect. It blends in with its environment so well that it can just sit there and the predator will think it's just part of the scenery. For aposematic coloration, the example is a poison dart frog. It has really bright colors like red, blue and yellow. These bright colors are a warning to predators that it's poisonous. Predators learn to avoid these brightly colored animals because they know that if they eat them, they'll get sick or even die.答案:So, animals have some really cool ways to protect themselves from those mean predators. Take the stick insect for example. It's like a little master of disguise. It looks just like a stick. I can just imagine a bird flying around looking for a snack and it just passes right over the stick insect because it thinks it's just a twig. It's so amazing how it can blend in like that. And then there's the poison dart frog. Oh man, those bright colors are like a big sign that says "Stay away!". It's like the frog is wearing a neon sign that says "I'm poisonous, don't eat me!". Predators are smart enough to learn that those bright colors mean trouble. So they just leave the frog alone. These two ways are like nature's own little defense mechanisms. One is all about hiding and the other is about scaring off the bad guys.。

托福TPO24口语Task6听力文本:
Listen to part of a lecture in a literature class.
(female professor) Authors of fiction, um, short stories and novels, of course have many decisions to make when they're writing their works. One of those decisions is how they are going to narrate or tell the story. What perspective or what point of view the story would be told from? So, authors need to choose a type of narrator, some person or voice to tell the story. And this narrator can affect the readers' experience when they read the story.Now, the author might choose to have an objective narrator. An objective narrator can describe what people, the characters in the story, what they do and what they say, but that's about all. So, suppose we have a story, for example, that is about a man and woman about to take a trip. When the story is told by an objective narrator, the only information that we get as readers is what the characters say to each other, what they do. They get on the train, they sit down, they look out the window, that’s all. And this leaves questions that force the reader to interpret the events, to fill in information and decide what the characters’ conversation and actions might mean. Another kind of narrator an author might use is an omniscient narrator. In this case, the narrator, the voice that is telling the story, knows everything, and I mean everything about the characters. So, let’s imagine our same man and woman traveling but described by an omniscient narrator. Not only do we, the readers, know what they do and say, but we also know what they’re thinking. For example, we’re told that the couple is going to visit an old friend of the man ’s and we learn what the man is thinking that he is nervous because he hasn’t seen his friend in a long time, that he is worried if his wife would like the friend. So an omniscient narrator provides more information and answers questions that the reader might have about the characters or the action.
托福TPO24口语Task6题目:
Using the examples from the lecture, discuss two types of narrators that an author of fiction might use.
托福TPO24口语Task6满分范文:
There're two types of narrator/perspectives of storytelling. The first one is objective narrator, by which the writer only shows what the characters say and what they do, and leaves the rest to the readers to imagine and fill in the information. For example, there's story in which a man and a woman are about to take a trip, and we only know that they get on the train and look out the window, but we have no idea what they're thinking. Objective narrator doesn't provide the information. But by
omniscient narrator, the readers can know everything about the characters, including what they're thinking and why they do the things they do. Back to the train story, by omniscient narrator, we probably will not only know that they're on a trip, but also know that they go on the trip to visit one of the man's old friends, and the man is worrying about what to say to his friend since they haven't seen each other for a while and whether his wife would like his friend.
