新托福T P O口语参考答案T P OThe following text is amended on 12 November 2020.a quality you think makes someone a valuable member f a team. Explain why you think it is an important quality for a team or g r o u p m e mb e r t o h a v e I think a valuable member of a team should be cooperative. If a member is cooperative, he or she will take the goal of the team as main goal not that of his or her own as the main goal. So he or she is willing to help other team members, to talk with others, to solve problems with others. Once I attended a computer program group. At that time we had four members and only one day left before we had to submit the program. So we all decided to gather together and stay overnight, writing the program, sharing ideas, discussing and solving problems. That was the time I felt we were like a team.people prefer to learn about current events from watching television news programs. Others prefer to read about current events in newspaper or on the Internet. Which do you think is better: watching the news or reading the news Explain why.I prefer watching the news to reading the new because watching the news can provide me with more details about what had happened. Usually in the video, I can see the scene, see the people and even hear their words. It seems as if I am in the scene. Besides, watching the news can get more objective information. Since thenews articles in the newspaper should be edited or censored, some important information may be omitted. However, videos news bringme to the scene and make me one of the witnesses. Even though, some might say videos can be clipped, I believe at the same censoring level, video is more objective than words.woman expresses her opinion about the plan described in the her opinion and explain the reasons she gives for holding the opinion.(题目并没有让我们总结阅读材料,所以阅读内容可说可不说)The girl doesn’t agree with the university on the plan. Firstly, she says that the teaching buildings aren’t just used for classes. They are also used by her evening study group. The group hold meetings in the classrooms. Now that it’s winter and cold, the study group has nowhere else to go. Secondly, she says the university shouldn’t disrupt the students’ academic study. There are many other things the university should do. The university can replace the old drafty windows that are poor isolated and alwayslet the cold in classrooms. Also, the old buildings are notenergy-efficient. So she thinks there are many basic improvements the university can do to make difference in the long-term andstill leave them somewhere to study.the example given by the professor, explain how franchising works. If someone opens a store or restaurant, he or she pays an established company to use the company’s name and sell thecompany’s products. This practice is called franchising. The professor uses an example to illustrate this practice. In the example, he wants to open a pizza restaurant. He wants to be successful, so he pays a big company that owns a chain of pizza restaurants called pizza town to use the name, pizza town. Since pizza town is already popular, it will surely sell well. So the new restaurant will have better chance to succeed. But in exchange, the new restaurant should follow the pizza town’s standard practice, selling pizzas like pizza town’s pizza, making store look like pizza town, and advertising like pizza town. So there is not much freedom. But the thing is they sell a lot of pizza.summarize the woman’s problem, then sate which solution youwould recommend. Explain the reasons for your recommendation.The woman’s supervisor, Professor Green, is going to France fora semester, but she still needs a lot of help for her project. Professor Green’s suggestion is that professor Baker can help woman. But the woman doesn’t know professor Baker at all and professor Baker is specialized in another area, so they are not exactly the best matched. Another solution is that the woman can have Professor Green’s advice long distance. Professor Green can look at the woman’s data through emails. But there will be no one supervising the woman’s experiment. In my opinion, I would recommend the woman to take the first suggestion. Even ifprofessor Baker’s expertise is not the woman’s study area, as a great biologist, professor Baker is still able to advise the woman and may give her new perspectives.points and examples from the talk, describe the two defense mechanisms mentioned by the professor.The professor says when people experience difficult situations, they may feel helpless and have psychological pain. In order to psychologically protect themselves they will unconsciously use defense mechanisms. For example a woman has a pet dog for a long time. But one day the dog runs away, she looks everywhere and just can’t find him. She feels helpless and sad. The first defense mechanism to deal with the pain is fantasy. She will use imagination to invent a happy story in her mind. In the story anice family found the dog and feeds him well and the dog is playing, running around, having fun so she doesn’t have to feel sad. Another mechanism is sublimation. Sublimation turns negative emotions into something useful, practical. The woman may start a dog training school to prevent other people dogs from running away. So by using sublimation she redirects her negative feeling into a positive, constructive activity.。

Some believe that TV programs have a positive influence on modern society. Others, however, think that the influence of TV programs is negative.As far as I am concerned, television has more positive effects towards the modern society than its negative sides.First, from the news broadcasting in the television, we can know what is happening in the outside world even without stepping out our living room with television in it.And second, watching television with family members after supper is a good way to relax after a hard days’ work.What’s more, its visual effect makes people feel less stressed and has a great influence on the way people think and talk.3. Describe the most important decision that you have made in your life. Why was it important to you? Use specific examples and details to support your Explanation.Personally speaking, the most important decision that I have made in my life is to choose marketing as my major in university, as we all know that marketing is a kind of major which cuts across the boundaries of many different disciplines, so in order to learn it well, I have to learn various subjects such as international trade and brand management. What’s more, i’m little timidity in front of challenges such as doing the presentation and negotiation, I guess most of the people may have this kind of stage fright, So marketing is a major can definitely anneal myself. During the studies in university, I learned hard and practiced as much as I could. Finally, I got the highest GPA in my grade.4. Some people believe that the high school should teach music and art as other basic science. Some people think that providing music and art education for high school students is not necessary.

In other words, music and art should be viewed as basic science. Firstly, It is very important to get fully educated for students. Music and art can help the students appreciate beauty in our lives, and that will broaden knowledge scope of students. Also Music and art do good to students’ mentality. A sound mentality is essential to the student’s future.6. Some people think that it’s necessary to prohibit people from using phone calls in some places. Others believe that it’s inconvenient if phone calls are forbidden in some places. Which opinion do you prefer? Explain why. Your statement should include specific examples and details.I strongly agree with the opinion that the use of a mobile phone should be forbidden in some places, such as library and airplanes. The most common reason for people going to a library is to find a silent environment to read their favorite books without interruption. But if you receive a phone call in the library or just send out messages, the mobile phone will ring. Though people have personal right to use their mobile phone, the others are not supposed to be involved in the unnecessary disturbance. And I do not think it is very polite unless you can turn down the volume. Another place is airplane. As we all know that it is very dangerous to have a phone call in airplane. It may causes interference between the signals. Therefore mobile phone should be forbidden in airplanes unless there is a new technique can avoid it.8. Which of the following acts have more influence on you, newspaper, TV, or teachers? Explain the reason with specific details.I definitely think that it is TV that influences me most among the three.First, from the news broadcasting in the television, we can know what is happening in the outside world even without stepping out our living room with television in it. I just want to keep myself informed of what’s going o n in the world.And second, watching television with family members after supper is a good way to relax after a hard day’s work. What’s more, its visual effect makes me feel less stressed and has a great influence on the way I think and talk. So that’s why I think it influences me most.10.

There’s no doubt that government should responsible for the people by me ans of regulation and investment. The main responsibility for the government is to benefit the people in any aspects. We cannot emphasize the importance of schools, museums and theaters too much. Cuz Museums and theaters serve as exhibition centers for people to know about the history and culture of the country. What I am saying is that museums and theaters do good to our mind and quality. Hence, government should provide fund to build museums and theaters.13. Do you like to eat at home or at the restaurant? Which do you prefer and explain the reason.Personally speaking, I definitely prefer having meals at home for the following reasons. In the first place, it is cheaper to have meals at home. In the second place, it is more convenient to have meals at ho me, cuz you don’t need to take bus or taxi to go to the restaurant. Especially, it is a big deal when there is a traffic jam.Finally, having meals at home will save a plenty of time. You don’t have to spend much time on yours way to restaurant. According to some statistics, you just need 1 hour if you eat at home while you will need at least 2 hours if you eat out.15. Some students prefer to choose universities located in big cities. Others would like to study in universities located in small towns. Please state your opinion and explain why.I definitely prefer to study in a big city. The most common reason for us to study is to find a good job, and there are much more job opportunities in big cities than the small town. If I study in the big cities, I can do a part time job while studying, and seize the opportunity to work there after I graduate from university. In addition, the big city can provide us a plenty of internship opportunities to me. Moreover, jobs in big cities can offer more decent salary. S o that’s why I think big city is more attractive for me to study.16. Usually, novels, magazines and poetry are considered the three major forms of literature. Which one do you prefer and explain why you prefer this literature form. Please include specific examples and details in your Explanation.Personally speaking, I prefer magazines to fictions or poems.

I read five or six magazines per month and I buy two magazines regularly—fashion and beauty magazines. Cuz they are worth reading for their entertainment news and fashion and beauty tips. Which I most prefer is a magazine called ‘enjoy yourself’, it makes me more confident in myself.17. Some students tend to live alone, while others may want to share their rooms with their roommates. Which way of living do you think is better for students and why?I definitely prefer to live alone. Cuz I enjoy a comparatively quiet environment to relax myself after a day’s hard work. I can do what I want to do such as singing, reading , listening to music and telephone to somebody no matter where and when. I can adore my room with various adornments. Moreover, I am a neat freak, I could not bear there is any dirt in my dorm room. But there’s always a mess up at my roommate’s area.18. When you are together with your friends, which place do you prefer to eat, the restaurant, café or at home? Use specific examples to support your Statement.Personally speaking, I definitely prefer staying at home with my friends for the following reasons.Firstly, we can totally relax at home after a week’s hard work. we don’t need to care the weather and the temperature outdoor and then we can enjoy our time more relaxed.

Some believe that computer have improved our lives while others think computers have caused a variety of problems. Which do you prefer?

First, we can keep in touch more closely with the help of computer. For example, by using Emails or MSN, I can leave messages to my friends in the United States no matter when. But before computer was invented, one have to wait nearly several months to get a letter from friends abroad. Second, with computer, we can get information from all over the world easier and more convenient. I just want to keep myself informed of what’s going on in the world. They can equip me with knowledge and information.21. Some people prefer to work in the offices. Others would like to take the work to home. Which do you prefer and explain why.I definitely prefer to work at office. As we all know that home is a kind of place can provide you a comfortable environment to relax but it is not for working. In the office, there is a good working atmosphere to encourage you. What’s more, office can provide you the facilities and any document you need for your work. Working at office can make you concentrate on what you are handling with, you can manage your work and issues more efficiency, on the contrary, working at home makes you feel more and more sleepy.23. Some people believe that higher education is for all students. Other people believe that higher education is only suitable for certain students. Which opinion do you think is better and why?I definitely think that the university should be open to all students. It is a right for every student who needs education to enter into universities no matter he/she is rich or poor. The more well-educated students the universities produce, the fast speed of development our society will have. To suddenly think of a word is already not quite remember who said: Only to rely on investment equipment and infrastructure is not a long-term development way for a strong state, trying to improve the whole national quality and to invest in training people in education is the long-term development path.24. Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Please give specific reasons for your opinion. Parents should restrict the TV programs that are watched by their kids instead of letting the kids watch TV programs freely.I think parents should lead their children to watch TV. First of all, according to some statistics, most of the children don’t have the ability to distinguish fantasy and reality in front of the advertisement in TV, so children are not mature enough to realize which TV programs are suit for them. Without a proper guide, children may have been misled by some unhealthy TV programs. Moreover, parents play an important role in helping children distinguish true and false, good andevil, beauty and ugly by comparing the situation in TV programs and reality,. Besides, parents are also responsible for preventing children from being obsessed in watching TV.27. Some believe that in comparison with those never attended college, people attended college will be more successful in career. Do you agree or disagree with this statement? Please give specific reasons for your opinion.I definitely agree to statement that attending college will make one more successful in career. As we all know that there are many factors contribute to success, such as your personality, knowledge and experience accumulation and opportunities. However, the education level is a fundamental to success for the following reasons. First of all, you can get well-educated in a certain area. And this experience will make you fully prepared for your future career. secondly, the learning process will broaden your horizon, enhance your various abilities and give you a chance to make more professional talents. All of these are a precious wealth to your success.29. Someone suggests school to cut the Recycling. Do you agree or disagree with this suggestion, explain why.I tend to disagree with cutting the recycling in school. Firstly, recycling can remind students of the importance of environmental protection. With a recycling system, students will discard garbage into the special recycling garbage boxes instead of throw them away randomly in campus. In addition, school can employ workers to deal with the garbage regularly, it can also provide a job chance for people with low-income. So for these two reasons, I support that the recycling in school should continue.30. To be a leader or a follower, which do you prefer? Please give your opinion with specific examples and details.Of course, I would like to be the leader for the following reasons. Firstly, to be a leader definitely improves my various abilities, such as communication, organization, leadership and handling ability. These are essential to lead a team with many complex troubles. And second, in college, I always as a leader of various student unions and student associations. So I do not like to be regulated by others, the only way to get rid of this status is to be the leader and regulate others myself.Frankly speaking, although to be a leader is a hard work, it will has a great influence on the future career.31. Which one do you think is better to help do research, internet or academic books? Explain why.As far as I am concerned, relying on academic books is a best way to do research. What I want to say is the internet could serve as a starting point, helps you to zero in the material you need, but that you would almost certainly have to access other sources to do the research well such as the academic books. Cuz academic books have more detail information you need, on the contrary, internet only has a brief abstraction and most of the time, you should pay to get the good stuff.32. Some believe that TV, newspaper and radio have more influence on individuals than their relatives and friends, while others believe not. Which statement do you prefer? Please give your opinion with specific examplesand details.In my opinion, it is my family members and friends who influence me most. The information provided by newspaper, TV, radio or other formats of media can just let us know what has happened and only equip us with knowledge, they are incapable of giving me spiritual satisfaction. Speaking of some issues, we need more specific suggestions. Family members and friends can offer us this kind of information and can give us adequate help to meet the issues.33. If you get a chance to choose a job, what will you do? What’s your reason for choosing this job? Please give your statement and include specificexamples and details in your opinion.Personally speaking, the most ideal career for me is to be a teacher. I have dreamed to be a teacher since I was still in middle school. The reasons for why this profession really attracts me is well, firstly, I am proud of to share knowledge with others and I can do my best to assist others to realize their dreams. As my father always tell me to do something constructive and beneficial for ordinary people. On the other hand, teaching is my cup of tea also this is a challenge profession to me. It can not only improve my various abilities but also help me to conquer the stage fright.34. Would you like to take a long vacation or several short vacations in a year? Explain why.in my opinion, I definitely prefer to take a long vacation instead of several short ones. If the vacation is as long as about two month, I can separate it into two parts. In the first part, I will go abroad, visiting the place I have dreamed all the time,for example yellow stone park. When I get back, I still have one or two weeks to have a rest before go back to work. So I would not be very tired and be able to keep energetic while working.36. Do you prefer to study alone on work assignment from class or to study in groups?in my opinion, I would prefer to study in a group on work assignment from class.Cuz firstly, working in a group means we can have partners to cooperate with and that will increase the working efficiency. Besides, we can discuss with each other, with the purpose of expand our scope of knowledge. Finally, we can encourage each other to attain the goal especially when there are difficulties. Of course, the process of cooperation could develop our sense of teamwork and team spirit.37. Everyone has a goal to fulfill. What’s your goal and explain why you want to fulfill this goal. Please include specific examples and details in your Explanation.Frankly speaking, I would like to be a teacher as my future career. I have dreamed to be a teacher since I was still in the primary school. Cuz training is my cup of tea. I am very glad and proud of to share my knowledge and views with others. Well, secondly, with the fast speed of developmentin China, the demand of professional talent is a pressing issue, so I would like to contribute my effort to the development of China. As my father always tell me to do something constructive and beneficial to the ordinary people.To tell you the truth38. Describe one of your challenging experiences. Explain why it is challenging and how you conquered this challenge. Please include specific examplesand details in your explanation.Frankly speaking, what the most challenging experience for me is as a leader in my brand management assignment group. This assignment required us to build a virtual brand. As a leader, I pay a significant amount of energy on this assignment. I allocated task to my group members and discussed issue with them. This process of learning definitely develops my abilities such as leadership, coordination and problem handling.39. Some students would choose to study a subject because it brings plenty of job opportunities. Instead, others would choose to study a subject which really interests them, although it probably does n’t sell well in the job market. Which opinion do you agree with? Explain why.I surely prefer to choose a major which is easy to find a good job in the future, like finance or marketing for example. No one could deny that the most common reason for us attending university is to get well prepared for a good job in the future. So whether or not it will lead to a good job, should be put into the first place when we choose our major. If we find a good job with decent payment, we can use the money we have earned from it to satisfy our interests then.40. Which is your favorite type of movie: action, drama, or others? Please include specific details and examples in your explanation.My favorite kind of movie is loving movie. Such as Titanic, a wonderful movie, captured many young people’s hearts with its fascinating music and touching plots.A word comes to my mind, it is love that makes the world go round. Watching this kind of loving movies is just like reading a text book which teaches me how to love and be loved. Moreover, we can learn more from it, such as loyalty and treasure.。

He is very professional in his working area and has strong background of petroleum engineering. He has highly sense of responsibility toward every project and has solved many technical problems for his team.Also, my father always keeps an open mind. He is able to understand people from different generations. So he often gives me many useful suggestions about my study and encourages me to make decisions by myself.What’s more, my father is also very humorous. He has a magic to keep our family full of laughing, and even in his workplace, he can use his sense of humor to motive colleague working with passion.1.1.3 A good teacherAs far as I am concerned, a good teacher should have several different characteristics.First of all, he should be knowledgeable. That is to say, he should have a wide range of knowledge to share with us. Of course, it does not mean that every teacher should be a walking dictionary we can look up anytime.And then, he should be humorous because I want to hear funny stories from him. I certainly don't want to doze off in the class. So some funny stories and encouraging stories can attract our attention.What’s more, he should be patient to his students as i t is an essential quality of a teacher. He should never lose his patience in class when students ask questions repeatedly. A teacher should explain each and every aspect of the topic in the easiest way.1.1.4 A famous person I want to meetIf I have a cha nce to meet someone famous, I’ll choose Bill Gates.First of all, because he is one of the billionaires in the world, I would like to ask him how he can earn so much money and what he will plan to do in the future.And then, you know, Bill Gates is pretty charitable as well as his wife and they started the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. They havedonated a large fortune to help those people in developing countries over recent years.What’s more, he set up Microsoft successfully. I really want to know how he could do this, since I also want to set up my own business. I am sure he can help me one way or another.1.1.5 A famous star I want to meetThe famous star that I really want to visit is Yao Ming. You know, Yao Ming is the best Chinese basketball star who plays basketball in NBA.First reason why I want to visit him is that I want to get some advice about how to improve my basketball skills. Maybe I could watch one of his matches on the spot and talk with him about my problems. One of my goals is to become a skillful basketball player and I am sure he can help me one way or another.Another reason is that he is a model in my life as well because he is pretty warm-hearted. He often donates his money to help those poor children to go school and realize their dreams. Another example I could remember clearly is that he advocates people to donate blood to others who need. And he did it first.That’s why I admire him most and like to visit him immediately.1.1.6 A good friendI think what makes a good friends is someone who is honest, supportive and humorous.First of all, a good friend should be honest to me no matter what. He should tell me my short-comings in front of me rather than tell stories behind my back.And then, it is a well known saying that “A friend in need is a friend indeed”. Therefore, a good friend should help me immediately whenever I need and care for me whenever the times are bad or the times are great.What’s more, a friend should have a sense of humor.

And the most direct influence is that all cars will be broken down without any gasoline.What’s more, it’s also a job wi th good payment, which can enhance the quality of my life. So I would like to become a petroleum engineer.1.3.3 How birthdays are celebrated in your country.In my country, birthdays are celebrated every year (but the most important birthdays are one year old for a new baby, twelve years old for an adolescent, 36 years old for adults and 100 years old for the elderly). In general, celebrations may be performed like this. First, a birthday party is a must and we often invite our relatives and close friends to participate in. We may get together to dance, sing, and eat delicious foods. Happy laughter and cheerful voices would be drifting and flying. Everyone immerses totally in the great joy. And then, a big birthday cake is necessary for this ceremony and all participators would share the cake. In order to show their blessing, they may sing the song “Happy Birthday” and give there gifts to the birthday star.What’s more, there may be one professional photographer or cameraman who would record all happy times during the celebration which will bring fond memories to the birthday star in the future.1.3.4 Your challenging experiences and how you conquered this challengeThe most memorable challenging experience for me was that I prepared for a badminton competition.That badminton competition was held in our province for junior students in 2001 and I was one of the 36 contestants from the whole province. At that time, I was only thirteen years old but most of the competitors were fifteen or sixteen years old. So I had much pressure and felt very challenging.In order to achieve a good result, I practiced very hard and exercised almost all afternoon everyday. Three months later, I found that I had made a huge progress and could play badminton skillfully.

In order to achieve a good result, I practiced very hard and exercised almost all afternoon everyday. Three months later, I found that I had made a huge progress and could play badminton skillfully. Finally, just as the saying goes, “No pains, no gains”, I won the badminton competition fort unately.It’s really a challenging experience and I finally conquered it by hard working. So, when I won the championship, I felt so happy, so enjoyable.1.3.6 Your favorite methods to relaxWhen I eager to relax, I prefer to ride my bicycle and have a short trip near my city.First of all, it’s re ally relaxation. I usually ride along the country lane and admire the charming and gentle rurality scene. Birds are singing on the trees, wild flowers are smiling along the way. So beautiful it is! It gives me a sense of freedom.And then, you know, go out by riding a bicycle is very convenient. I don’t need to find a special parking place in the countryside. I can go where I want to go and stop whenever I want to stop. Maybe I would stop in order to keep my eyes on a pretty girl.What’s more, compared with a car or a taxi, going out for a short trip by bike doesn’t need to spend any money. I just need to hum a little song and enjoy the refreshing air. Also, compared with taking the cars, I don’t have to worry about the traffic jam. More importantly, riding a bicycle regularly can improve my health condition and keep me in good shape. So, i t’s definitely killing two birds with one stone.1.3.7 The best way for students to relax after working hardAs far as I am concerned, the best way for students to relax is to surf the Internet.First of all, it doesn’t need too much thinking. All you have to do is to click the mouse and keep our eyes focused. Maybe yo u could listen to your favorite music from the Internet. It is pretty relaxing.And then, when we students scan the websites, we can obtain much information whatever it is news for NBA or latest films or just some photographs about our favorite stars.What’s more, when we surf the Internet, we have a chance to chat with anyone anywhere and we can discuss every thing we interested.In a world, in my opinion, surf the Internet is the best way for students to relax.1.4 Transportation and Vehicles1.4 1 The most efficient transportation in your countryThe most efficient transportation in China is the train.First of all, it’s efficient because it can take lots of people at one time. Then it will save lots of energy compared with d riving private car. And then, the train transportation system in China has been advanced greatly and you can reach anywhere you want.What’s more, it also saves money by train. It only takes you 200 RMB from north to south. So I think the most efficient transportation in China is the train.Subway systemIn my point of view, subway is the most efficient transportation in our country.First of all, high speed is its obvious characteristic. It moves much faster than those buses and taxis etc because it doesn’t have any traffic jams in rush hours.Also, compared to other means of transportation, subway charges much less and the price is reasonable for most of the citizens What’s more, the subway system often covers the most important blocks and areas of each city so it’s very convenient for people to travel from one place to another.1.4.2 The worst invention in 20th century AutomobileAs far as I am concerned, the worst invention in the 20th century is automobile.First of all, a great many accidents caused by automobiles are injuring and killing thousands of people day after day. My cousin got hit by a car last year and he is still in hospital, I am sorry about him. None of these would have happened if cars were never invented in the first place.And then, the exhaust gas from all the cars and buses has caused severe pollution. We are seeing less blue sky and less bright stars, breathing less fresh air and drinking less clean water.What’s more, taking automobiles to work and school keeps people from walking and doing exercises, bringing bad effects to our health condition and making us more vulnerable to all kinds of diseases.1.5 Objects & Gift1.5.1 The most important gift of possession & An object which is of special value to youThe most important gift I have ever got is a portable computer. It was a reward from parents to congratulate my entrance to the college 3 years ago.First of all, it is a wonderful tool for my study and work. I spend at least 5 hours in front of my computer everyday. It can help me to finish my paper, make presentation slides, do the lab data analysis, or download some materials for study.And then, in my spare time, I use my computer to surf online (on the internet) to get latest news, to find some useful information I need, or sometimes I can chat with friends with the help of it. I can hardly imagine how my life would be like without my beloved laptop computer.Now, although its model is a little out of date, its performance is still in good conditions. So I still like it because it really gives me a lot of help and reminds me of my parents' thoughtfulness.1.5.2 The favorite toy when I was a childMy favorite toy was airplane models when I was a child.I collected hundreds of different types of model planes in my home. This hobby let me touch a bit history of aviation industry and I could imagine the adventure of the original flyers.Also, my huge fun of pane toy helped me make many friends who had the same interest. We shared our experience together talking about new type of plane. This was really the most wonderful memory in whole my life.What’s more, playing these toys indeed satisfied my desire of flying, it maybe sounds a little wired but this really brought me a lot of fun in my childhood.1.5.3 My favorite food/dishMy favorite dish is the Chinese Hot pot, especially the hot pot in the restaurant named the Grand Mansion Gate.First of all, the Hot pot is a famous traditional Chinese food which is made by some special processes, and in this restaurant, they’ve got all kinds of flavors, beef flavor, pork flavor, chicken flavor and the like.And then, except its all kinds of delicious taste, the Hot pot has a wonderful color which can stimulate our appetite. This just reflects the most important characteristic of the Chinese dishes: healthy, well-balanced, and good in color, flavor and taste.What’s more, the view around the restaurant is amazing. It is a restful and old-fashioned three-storied house. Often in the restaurant we have the opportunity to enjoy a minor drama performance when we are having the Hot pot.(In addition, I met my girlfriend last year in this restaurant when we coincidently ordered the same flavor and sat next to each other. We share the same love for the tasty dish.)1.5.4 What would you like to do to welcome a foreigner to you familyIf a foreign friend comes to my place, I will treat him with my favorite food, dumpling.You see, dumpling is the traditional food that has a history of more than 1000 years. Every family will have it during the Lunar New Year. Actually it has become the best food in most of the Chinese families.What’s more, in order to make dumplings, one has to make the skin and the stuffing all by oneself. During the course of making dumplings, everybody in the family will chip in to help each other. It is always so fun for us to talk about our lives, crack jokes and exchange our plans for the future to come. So in a way of speaking the best part lies in making dumplings rather than eating them.1.5.5 My favorite animalAlthough most of my classmates would see there favorite animal are dogs, I love my cat very much.First of all, cat is one of the tamest animals in the world and it has a wonderful voice just like a beautiful song. It has a soft and glossy fur which gives a comfortable feel when pet it. And it always looks like an elegant princess because its footsteps are always silent.And then, it is definitely a good companion and my cat has accompanied with me for more than eight years. When I am happy, I love to bring my cat to the park near my house and play together. when I encounter some troubles, I like to hold my cat and pet it softly. It makes me feel better.What’s more, I met my girlfriend last year in a park when we each held our cats to enjoy the sunshine. So we shared the same lovely animal, cats, and soon we fell in love with each other.1.5.6 My favorite clothingPersonally, my favorite clothing is sportswear.First of all, in my spare time, when I am staying in a park, jogging and or playing games, I like to wear a sportswear, because it makes me feel relaxed and helps me relieve the pressure from work and study.Also, when I attend the badminton competition, I always wear a suitable sportswear which is loose, ventilated and comfortable. It is related to my success, because it helps me perform my best.What’s more, I met my girlfriend last year in a gymnasium when we coincidently wore the same brand of sweaters. We share the same love of playing badminton and wearing sportswear.1.5.7 My favorite jewelryMy favorite jewelry is a jade pendant (n.垂饰,悬挂物) my mom got in a temple.It looks amazing. At night, it will be gleaming beautifully. I can also use it as a small flashlight in dark.Also, it is a mascot (n.福神,吉祥的东西) to ward off evil and unpleasant things from me. One day last summer, a car was driving up towards me when I crossed the road. The driver didn’t see me and I nearly got hit by the car. That was really close! Believe it or not, I guess it’s got something to do with the jade pendant. I love it!1.6 Hobby & Favorite1.6.1 One of my favorite fruitI really like to eat banana and it is definitely my most favorite fruit.First of all, banana is not only delicious but also very nutritious. Bananas are full of carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals, which are crucial for our health. Its good taste and nutrition makes it the miracle food for infants and adults alike.And then, it is very convenient to eat bananas. What we need to do is only to peel off the skin and devour it. And we would never contaminate our fingers. However, when we eat an apple or a pear, we must need to use a peeling knife which is rather too much trouble.What’s more, banana is one kind of common fruit which is not expensive in my hometown.So, I really enjoy eating banana.1.6.2 My favorite sportMy favorite sport is badminton and I really enjoy it.I began to learn this sport when I was only ten years old. And three years later, I had made a huge progress and could play it skillfully. And then, I won the badminton competition fortunately, which was held in our province for junior students in 2000.These days, although my leisure time is limited, I often play two times every week with my friends in the badminton hall of our school. This sport gives me a sense of freedom and relaxation and I don’t need to think any other things when we are playing.Of course, it is also a wonderful opportunity for me to make friends with other players on the court. Now my best friend is also an excellent badminton player whom I acquainted when we both competed in another contest in 2005.1.6.3 My favorite game in your childhood timesIn the schoolyard I liked skipping as a child because everyone could be included in the same game at the same time.。

Of course, it does not mean that every teacher should be a walking dictionary we can look up anytime.And then, he should be humorous because I want to hear funny stories from him. I certainly don't want to doze off in the class. So some funny stories and encouraging stories can attract our attention.What’s more, he should be patient to his students as it is an essen tial quality of a teacher.

We are seeing less blue sky and less bright stars, breathing less fresh air and drinking less clean water.What ’s more, taking automobiles to wo rk and school keeps people from walking and doing exercises, bringing bad effects to our health condition and making us more vulnerable to all kinds of diseases.1.5 Objects & Gift1.5.1 The most important gift of possession & An object which is of special value to youThe most important gift I have ever got is a portable computer. It was a reward from parents to congratulate my entrance to the college 3 years ago.First of all, it is a wonderful tool for my study and work. I spend at least 5 hours in front of my computer everyday. It can help me to finish my paper, make presentation slides, do the lab data analysis, or download some materials for study.And then, in my spare time, I use my computer to surf online (on the internet to get latest news, to find some useful information I need, or sometimes I can chat with friends with the help of it. I can hardly imagine how my life would be like without my beloved laptop computer.Now, although its model is a little out of date, its performance is still in good conditions. So I still like it because it really gives me a lot of help and reminds me of my parents' thoughtfulness.1.5.2 The favorite toy when I was a childMy favorite toy was airplane models when I was a child.I collected hundreds of different types of model planes in my home. This hobby let me touch a bit history of aviation industry and I could imagine the adventure of the original flyers.Also, my huge fun of pane toy helped me make many friends who had the same interest. We shared our experience together talking about new type of plane. This was really the most wonderful memory in whole my life.What ’s more, playing these toys indeed satisfied my desire of flying, it maybe sounds a little wired but this really brought me a lot of fun in my childhood.1.5.3 My favorite food/dishMy favorite dish is the Chinese Hot pot, especially the hot pot in the restaurant named the Grand Mansion Gate.First of all, the Hot pot is a famous traditional Chinese food which is made by some special processes, and in t his restaurant, they’ve got all kinds of flavors, beef flavor, pork flavor, chicken flavor and the like.And then, except its all kinds of delicious taste, the Hot pot has a wonderful color which can stimulate our appetite. This just reflects the most important characteristic of the Chinese dishes: healthy, well-balanced, and good in color, flavor and taste.What ’s more, the view around the restaurant is amazing. It is a restful and old-fashioned three-storied house. Often in the restaurant we have the opportunity to enjoy a minor drama performance when we are having the Hot pot.(In addition, I met my girlfriend last year in this restaurant when we coincidently ordered the same flavor and sat next to each other. We share the same love for the tasty dish.1.5.4 What would you like to do to welcome a foreigner to you familyIf a foreign friend comes to my place, I will treat him with my favorite food, dumpling.You see, dumpling is the traditional food that has a history of more than 1000 years. Every family will have it during the Lunar New Year. Actually it has become the best food in most of the Chinese families.What’s more, in order to make dumplings, one has to make the skin and the stuffing all by oneself. During the course of making dumplings, everybody in the family will chip in to help each other. It is always so fun for us to talk about our lives, crack jokes and exchange our plans for the future to come. So in a way of speaking the best part lies in making dumplings rather than eating them.1.5.5 My favorite animalAlthough most of my classmates would see there favorite animal are dogs, I love my cat very much.First of all, cat is one of the tamest animals in the world and it has a wonderful voice just like a beautiful song. It has a soft and glossy fur which gives a comfortable feel when pet it. And it always looks like an elegant princess because its footsteps are always silent.And then, it is definitely a good companion and my cat has accompanied with me for more than eight years. When I am happy, I love to bring my cat to the park near my house and play together. when I encounter some troubles, I like to hold my cat and pet it softly. It makes me feel better.What ’s more, I met my girlfriend last year in a park when we each held our cats to enjoy the sunshine. So we shared the same lovely animal, cats, and soon we fell in love with each other.1.5.6 My favorite clothingPersonally, my favorite clothing is sportswear. First of all, in my spare time, when I am staying in a park, jogging and or playing games, I like to wear a sportswear, because it makes me feel relaxed and helps me relieve the pressure from work and study.Also, when I attend the badminton competition, I always wear a suitable sportswear which is loose, ventilated and comfortable. It is related to my success, because it helps me perform my best.What ’s more, I met my girlfriend last year in a gymnasium when we coincidently wore the same brand of sweaters.

At night, it will be gleaming beautifully. I can also use it as a small flashlight in dark.Also, it is a mascot (n. 福神,吉祥的东西 to ward off evil and unpleasant things from me. One day last summer, a car was driving up towards me when I crossed the road. The driver didn’t see me and I nearly got hit by the car. That was really close! Believe it or not, I guess it’s got something to do with the jade pendan t. I love it!1.6 Hobby & Favorite1.6.1 One of my favorite fruitI really like to eat banana and it is definitely my most favorite fruit.First of all, banana is not only delicious but also very nutritious. Bananas are full of carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals, which are crucial for our health. Its good taste and nutrition makes it the miracle food for infants and adults alike.And then, it is very convenient to eat bananas. What we need to do is only to peel off the skin and devour it. And we would never contaminate our fingers. However, when we eat an apple or a pear, we must need to use a peeling knife which is rather too much trouble.What’s more, banana is one kind of common fruit which is not expensive in my hometown.So, I really enjoy eating banana.1.6.2 My favorite sportMy favorite sport is badminton and I really enjoy it.I began to learn this sport when I was only ten years old. And three years later, I had made a huge progress and could play it skillfully. And then, I won the badminton competition fortunately, which was held in our province for junior students in 2000.These days, although my leisure time is limited, I often play two times every week with my friends in the badminton hall of our school. This sport gives me a sense of freedom and relaxation and I don’t need to think any other things when we are playing.Of course, it is also a wonderful opportunity for me to make friends with other players on the court. Now my best friend is also an excellent badminton player whom I acquainted when we both competed in another contest in 2005.1.6.3 My favorite game in your childhood timesIn the schoolyard I liked skipping as a child because everyone could be included in the same game at the same time.The older pupils at school taught us all the songs. Every time we had recess (n./ vi.暂停,休庭;休息[ pl.]深处 we would all run out to the yard and take turns turning the。

1. Talk about a popular gathering place in your town where people like to go. Describe the place and explain why people enjoy going there. (2011.5.13;2009.10.24)In my town, the public park is the popular gathering place. There are several reasons why it’s popular. The first reason is that the park has a very big square where senior citizens go nearly every day to do some physical exercise. I can see them every day after dinner, they dance together energetically. Another reason is that there is a beautiful lake beside the park, and young people, especially those from the university, like to sit on the bank, enjoying the view and having some talk. If the weather is fine, beautiful young girls and handsome boys can be seen sit side by side.2. Do you agree or disagree with the following statement?Students benefit more from classes with a large number of students than they do from smaller classesUse specific examples and details to support your opinionI don’t agree with this statement. I believe students benefit more from small classes than from large classes.. First of all, there are many studentsin a large class and it’s usually in a big lecture hall. Teachers or lecturers will always focus on their own topic. There aren’t as many interactions in it as in a small class. In small classes, students are allowed to make discussions. Also, students can get more attention from teachers and thus have more opportunities to voice themselves. Secondly, in a large class, if there is a point a student doesn’t understand, he or she might be left behind, while in a small class, teachers give attention to every student, so no one will be left behind.3. The woman expresses her opinion about the student’s proposal. State her opinion and explain the reasons she gives for holding that opinion.The student proposes to close the Campus Coffee house because students usually don’t use it and the food in the coffee house is not good. The woman in the conversation doesn’t like the proposal. She says the good thing about the Coffee House is that it’s never crowded. So it’s a great place to study. She always reads a book or works on a paper in it. She even prefers it to the library. Plus, students can eat while they study there. She also says that though the food wasn’t great, it’s a lot better now. The Coffee House has got a new manager. Last week she went there and the food was delicious. Besides, the new manager has added a lot of reallyhealthy food and snack.4. Using the example of the macaw from the lecture, explain the concept of a flagship species.A flagship species is a particular species that represents a threatened habit to the general public. The professor takes Macaw as an example to explain the concept. Macaw is a beautiful bird and has colorful features. It lives in the rain forest and relies on the trees for food and nesting. But the trees have been cut down. So macaw and a lot of other animals are in trouble. The populations of animals drastically declined. Then a group of people used macaw to represent the threatened habitat. They spread the word about how macaw needed the help and distribute books with macaw’s pictures to the school and other community places. After that, a lot of people started to take actions and contribute money to help set up a protected land, a special area where no one could cut down the tree. So, the number of macaw and other animals increase.5. Briefly summarize the problem the speakers are discussing. Then state which solution you would recommend. Explain the reasons for your recommendation.The woman just moved into a new place to live. But the problem is that the new doesn’t have an Internet connection. She has to do research and email people everyday. There are two possible solutions to this problem. The first solution is to call Internet companies to install Internet. But it’s costly, the woman has to pay for the service every month. The second solution is to use the computer center on campus. The Internet there is free. But the woman doesn’t have classes on campus every day and the computer center can get crowded sometimes. I would recommend the woman to take the first solution. Even if installing the Internet will be costly, it’s absolutely worth it. Since she has to do research and email people everyday, she must need a stable and handy Internet connection. After all, computer center is on campus and it may be crowded.6. Using the examples from the lecture, discuss two types of narrators that an author of fiction might use.The professor talks about two types of narrator in fiction. The first type is an objective narrator. An objective narrator can describe what the characters do and say. For example, if a man and woman is about to take a trip, the only information we get from the objective narrator is what thecharacters say to each other and their actions such as getting on a train and looking out the window. It forces the reader to fill in the information and to decide what the conversation might mean. The second type is an omniscient narrator. An omniscient narrator knows everything about the characters. In the example above, the omniscient narrator knows not only what they say and do, but also what they are thinking. Like, it may tell us that the man is nervous because he hasn’t seen his friend in a long time and he is worried about whether his wife will like his friend.。

The book is entitled How to be your personal best, its actually a book written by an American writer. The most important lesson Ive learnt from this book is that one has enormous potential waiting to be tapped, sometimes the only thing you need is self-confidence, perserance and the willingness to try. I remember when I was at college, I shiver at the idea of speaking in public untilone day after reading the book I summoned the courage to make a speech and it went so well that I was asked to be a speaker on the universitys debate team-something I would never have imagined in my wildest dream.

The interesting books make me preoccupied with them and I have learned a lot of knowledge from them.Secondly,it’s very quiet and helps me relax.

Thebook is important to me because it touches me and gives me encouragement to persist.2. Some people believe that television has had a positive influence on society. Others believe ithas had a negative influence on society. Which do you agree with and why? Use details andexamples to explain your opinion.I think television has a positive influence on society. It?s a good source of news. The members inthe society can get news easily from News Channels and thus keep themselves informed of what?shappening around. Like, my grandfather watches News on TV everyday just to keep up with thelatest events.Beside television can be a kind of entertainment. People can watch different showson TV such as funny talk shows and soap operas. I have many friends who like watching Lateshow with David Letterman and some other friends like watching TV series such as Lost andFriends. They all consider TV as a good way of relaxing themselves and of killing time. So, withthe news and same TV programs, people in a society share a lot of things that they can talk aboutin any event. Therefore, society actually benefits from TV.3. Explain why the woman disagrees with the reasons expressed in the letter.The writer of the letter opposes the university?s plan to acquire a new sculpture because theuniversity?s financial condition is poor and the sculpture is so large that it?ll take up all the greenspace in front of the campus center. The woman in the conversation thinks the two reasons aretotally unconvincing. The woman says it?s an anonymous donor who pays the bill of the sculpturenot the university so there is no need to worry about the university?s financial condition. As for thepoint about the space, the woman thinks Paul, the writer of the letter, always plays soccer with hisfriends on the lawn where the sculpture will be. She thinks Pauljust doesn?t want to move toanother place. For him, it?s convenience versus sculpture.4. Explain groupthink and its effects using example of the computer company.Groupthink is a process in which individual members of a group conform their ideas to the groupconsensus even if the result may not be well. The professor in the lecture uses his personalexperience in a computer company to illustrate this process. Once he and his co-worker suggestedto give their computer a design make-over to look cooler in order to attract new customers. At first,the majority supported their suggestion. But there were a few senior managers who didn?t support.Then some supporters changed their mind, so did the professor?s co-worker. The co-workerchanged his mind because he didn?t want to make a bad impression on senior managers. Hethought disagreeing with them might harm his future promotion. Then after a long discussion andwith more and more people sided with senior managers, the professor himself thought he was theonly one who?s delaying the decision. Then, he voted against himself. So they all agreed not tohave this design make-over. At last, the company lost profit because its competitors came up withgood-looking computers and win more customers.5. The speakers discuss two possible solutions to the woman?s problem. Briefly summarize theproblem. Then state which should solution you recommend and explain why.The woman was supposed to drive a bunch of elementary students tothe zoo tomorrow but shedidn?t rent a van in time and the kids will be disappointed if the trip gets cancelled. The mansuggests her to borrow a car from one of her friends. But she has to borrow two cars to hold all thekids and it?s hard to find another driver. Then the man suggests her to take the publictransportation. He is pretty sure that there is a bus line past the zoo. But the woman thinks it?s hardto control the kids on the bus. Well personally, I would recommend the woman to take the bus line.Even if the kids are handful, they are still controllable. But there is no guarantee that she canborrow two cars and find another driver at the same time.6. Using the research described by the professor, explain what scientists have learned about themathematical abilities of babies.In the lecture the professor describes how scientists learn about baby?s mathematical abilities.Researchers did an experiment to test baby?s ability to add that baby knows one plus one equalstwo. They first put a doll in front of a baby and lowered the screen to hide the doll. So the babyknows it?s there. Then they clearly put another doll behind the screen so there should be two dolls.But researchers secretly took one away and when they lift the screen up, the baby was surprisedbecause it expected to see two dolls but there was only one. We know when a baby is surprised, itstares at the thing that makes it feel surprised. The researchers recorded the baby?s eye-movementwith a camera and found that the baby stared. So the baby has the ability to add. It knows one dollplus one doll equals two dolls.新托福TPO 口语参考答案——TPO21. Choose a place you go to often that is important to you and explain why it is important. Pleaseinclude specific details in your explanation.I often go to the basketball court near my apartment. It?s very important to me because I playbasketball there everyday and basketball is my favorite sport. Ever since I was a little boy, I havebeen playing in that court with my friends. When in junior high, I practiced shooting and dribblingin that court nearly everyday till late at night. Besides, the court is the reminder of an awful lot ofmy valuable memories. I still can remember that how I started out shooting badly and then afterseveral weeks? practice, I could shoot well and dribbled well. I can also remember many friendswith whom I played basketball and form teams. Without that court, I couldn?t possibly make somany friends. So it?s very important to me.2. Some college students choose to take courses in a variety of subject areas in order to get a broadeducation. Others choose to focus on a single subject area in order to have a deeper understandingof that area. Which approach to course selection do you think is better for students and why?Well, I think taking a wide variety of courses is better for students. Because, first of all, I thinkundergraduate study is meant for broadness. Students had better broaden their horizon and preventthemselves from being narrow-minded. Second of all, I think before students find their “true love”,I mean, the subject they really want to go deep into, they should probably extend their study fieldand taste different subjects in various areas so as to identify the “true love”. Take myself as anexample, my major is software engineering in the college, but I took various courses outside mymajor field. Then I found out that I was more interested in literature than in computer and software.So literature is my “true love”.I think it depends on the students themselves. If a student doesn?t know his or her interest. It?sbetter for them to take a variety of courses so as to taste various kinds of subjects to find theirinterest. Take myself as an example, my major is software engineering in the college, but I tookvarious courses outside my major field. Then I found out that I was more interested in literaturethan in computer and software. So literature is my interest. If a student already know what he likesand what he needs to learn. Then taking many different classes will be a little bit waste of time.It?s better for this student to concentrate on his or her interest. For instance, I don?t think BillGates need to take courses other than computer science when in Harvard, coz he knew what heliked and what he wanted. He already knew his interest.3. The man expresses his opinion of the university?s plan to eliminate the bus service. State hisopinion and explain the reasons he gives for holding that opinion.The university has decided to stop its free bus service because not very many students ride the busand plans to use the money saved to expand the overcrowded parking lots. But the manin theconversation doesn?t like the plan. As for the point about few students riding the bus, the man saysit?s because the bus routes are out of date. The bus only goes through the places that are tooexpensive for students to live. If the buses change route and the man thinks there will be plenty ofstudents taking those buses. The man also disagrees with the university?s plan to expand theparking lots. He thinks the plan will encourage more students to drive, which will add noise andcreate more traffic. Then they?ll need more parking space. He thinks the university should make iteasier for students to take the public buses not the other way around.4. Explain how the examples of tying shoes and learning to type demonstrate the principle ofaudience effects.The principle of audience effects is that individuals? performance is affected by the knowledgethat others are watching them. The professor uses examples of tying shoes and learning to type todemonstrate that we actually increase our speed of performing if we know that we are beingobserved. In the example of tying shoes, one group of collegestudents was told that they werebeing observed, the other didn?t know they were being observed. The students who knew theywere being watched tied their shoes much faster than the other group. And in the example oflearning to type, when we are conscious of being observed, we will increase typing speed. Wetype faster than we do alone. Also, other behavioral pattern will increase, like making mistakes.So when we type faster when we know we are being observed, we also make more mistakes.5. The speakers discuss two possible solutions to the woman?s problem. Describe the problem andthe two solutions. Then explain what you think the woman should do and why.The professor asks the woman to attend a field trip, but the womanhas already promised anotherprofessor to help set up a museum exhibition next week. And this is the problem. The professoroffers two possible solutions. The first is that she can talk to the other professor to see if there issomeone else who can replace the woman to help set up the museum exhibition. Thesecond is thatthe woman finishes setting up the museum before they set out the field trip. Actually, I think thewoman should choose the second solution, because she has already agreed to help the otherprofessor and the other professor is counting on her. It?s possible that there is no one else who cantake her place. So she?d better finish the task first before she goes to the field trip.6. Using points and examples from the talk, explain the two definitions of money presented by theprofessor.The professor talks about two definitions of money, a broad one and a narrow one. By the broaddefinition, money is everything with which we can make purchases. For example, coins and billscan be money, because we can use them to buy goods such as vegetables and pay for services suchas taxi. But in a barter system, vegetables can be money, because farmers can give driversvegetables in exchange for a drive. By the narrow definition, in a society, the legal tender ismoney. For instance, in the US, drivers and farmers must accept dollars as payment. People canuse dollars to pay for taxi and buy vegetables because dollar is the legal tender in the US. So,dollar in the form of coin and bill is money.新托福TPO 口语参考答案——TPO31. What characteristics do you think make someone a good parent? Explain why thesecharacteristics are important to you.I think a good parent should be patient. Because children are always confused with the thingsaround them, they ask questions every now and then. A good parent should be patient enough togive them answers. When i was very young, I always asked questions like “Why canairplanesfly?”,“Why can?t we fly?” and “Why the earth is a globe?”. My parents answered these questionspatiently and if they couldn't, they would buy books that have the answers to my questions. I alsothink a good parent should be open-minded. In other words, they should respect their children'sdecisions when their kids are growing up. My parents always show their respect to my decisions.My major in the college is software engineering, but I decided to be an English teacher aftergraduation. My parents respected my decision and allow me to pursue my own interest. Thanks tomy parents, I am patient and I respect other people.2. Some students prefer to work on class assignments by themselves. Others believe it is better towork in a group. Which do you prefer? Explain why.I prefer to work on assignments individually. There are two reasons. The first is that I like to be ina quiet place while studying. If I study in a group, I will always be interrupted by group memberswho talk about irrelevant things. Then it?s possible that I can?t even finish the assignments. Once,I attended a group discussion. Many people were not even discussing. They were just talkingabout NBA games. When it ended, I got nothing from it. The second reason is that I?d like to thinkindependently. Studying individually gives me enough time to develop my own ideas. Whenstudying in a group, I will always be distracted by other?s opinions and thoughts. So sometimesmany assignments are not done by myself but by other group members. Like last week, I workedin a group to solve math problems. It turned out that many problems were solved by others not bymyself. I felt very unhappy about it.Personally, I like working in groups better. There are two reasons to name. First is that there isdiversity in groups. Group members all have their different perspectives so some members canhelp other members. Last week, I attended a math group and there was one math problem Icouldn?t work out. But there was one member who knew how to solve that problem and heworked out the problem in a completely different way. Then I learned from him. The secondreason is that I can practice my communicative skills. In group discussions, I should be able tounderstand others? ideas and at the same time to convey mine clearly in order to make thecommunication go well. I learn how to express myself properly and to be a good-listener.3. The woman expresses her opinion of the change that has been announced. State her opinion andexplain her reasons for holding that opinion.Dining services will not serve hot breakfast food anymore. They only serve coldbreakfast food.The woman in the conversation thinks the change is ridiculous. First of all, she thinks whethersomething is hot or cold doesn?t necessarily mean it is healthy. She says that in a really coldmorning, a nice warm omelet is obviously better than a bowel of cold cereal. Secondly, she thinksthe change will not help save money. Because if the students can?t get what they want from dininghall, they will go off-campus. Then they have to pay off-campus price, which is more expensive.So this change will not help save money but actually end up costing more.。

1. Describe a place you enjoy going to.One place I really enjoy going to is the beach. The sound of the waves crashing against the shore and the feeling of the warm sand between my toes is incredibly relaxing. I love lying on a beach towel, basking in the sun and listening to the seagulls flying overhead. The beach is also a great place to engage in water sports like swimming, surfing, or even just playing beach volleyball with friends. Overall, the beach is my go-to destination when I want to unwind and escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life.2. Talk about a memorable trip you have taken.One of the most memorable trips I have taken was a backpacking adventure through Europe. I visited several countries including France, Italy, and Germany. Each city had its own unique charm and attractions. For example, in Paris, I was captivated by the beauty of the Eiffel Tower and the Louvre Museum. In Rome, I explored ancient ruins like the Colosseum and the Roman Forum. And in Berlin, I learned about the city's rich history through visits to the Berlin Wall and the Holocaust Memorial. This trip was not only educational but also allowed me to experience different cultures and make new friends from around the world.3. Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of living in a big city.Living in a big city has its advantages and disadvantages. On the one hand, big cities offer a wide range of job opportunities and a vibrant cultural scene. There are numerous restaurants, theaters, and museums to explore. Public transportation is also more accessible, making it easier to get around. On the other hand, big cities can be crowded and noisy. The cost of living is often higher, and the pace of life can be more stressful. Additionally, pollution and traffic congestion are common issues in big cities. Ultimately, whether living in a big city is advantageous or not depends on personal preferences and priorities.4. Describe a book that has had a significant impact on you.One book that has had a significant impact on me is "The Alchemist" by Paulo Coelho. This novel tells the story of a young shepherd named Santiago who embarks on a journey to find his personal legend. Throughout the book, Santiago learns valuable life lessons about following one's dreams, overcoming obstacles, and finding true happiness. The book taught me the importance of listening to my heart and pursuing my passions. It inspired me to take risks and step out of my comfort zone in order to achieve my goals. "The Alchemist" is a timeless tale that continues to resonate with readers all over the world.5. Discuss the benefits of learning a second language.Learning a second language has numerous benefits. Firstly, it opens up new opportunities for communication and cultural exchange. It allows us to connect with people from different countries and understand their perspectives.Secondly, it enhances cognitive skills such as problem-solving and multitasking. Learning a new language requires mental effort and improves memory and concentration. Thirdly, it increases job prospects and career opportunities. Many employers value bilingual or multilingual candidates, as they can communicate with a wider range of clients and customers. Finally, learning a second language can be personally fulfilling and boost self-confidence. It broadens our horizons and allows us to appreciate different cultures and traditions.以上是一些常见口语题目的参考答案。

托福口语:TPO1口语Task2参考答案

托福口语:TPO1口语Task2参考答案TPO1口语Task2题目:Some people believe that television has had a positive influence on society. Others believe it has had a negative influence on society. Which do you agree with and why? Use details and examples to explain your opinion.TPO1口语Task2参考答案(范文模板):I think that TV has had a very negative influence on society. The reason I feel this way is because on the whole, it made society very lazy. People used to be more active before there was TV,they kept more physically fit and had better health overall. Now, a much greater percentage of the world has health problems related to the fact that they aren’t in shape anymore. Also, I think that TV has made society very isolated from their local surroundings and the people around them. Sure we might know more about many different topics, however, we’ve seemed to have lost an important form of contact with one another, because we now focus most of our attention to a flat box on our walls rather than each other. That’s why I feel that TV is a negative influence on society.。

The woma n says it‟s an anony mous donor who pays the bill of the sculpture not the university so t here is no need to worry about the university‟s financi al condition. As for the point about the space, the woman thinks Paul, the writer of the letter, always plays soccer with his friends on the lawn where the sculpture will be. She thinks Paul just doesn‟t want to move to another place. For him, it‟s convenience versus sculpture.4.Explaingroupthinkand its effects using example ofthe computercompany.Groupthink is a process in which individual members of a group conform their ideas to the group consensus even if the result may not be well. The professor in the lecture uses his personal experience in a computer company to illustrate this process. Once he and his co-worker suggested to give their computer a design make-over to look cooler in order to attract new customers. At first, the majority supported their suggestion. But there were a few senior managers who did n‟t support. Then some supporters changed their mind, so did the professor‟s co-worker. The co-worker changed his mind because he didn‟t want to make a bad impression on senior managers. He thought disagreeing with them might harm his future promotion. Then after a long discussion and with more and more people sided with senior managers, the professor himself though was the only one who‟s delaying the decision. Then, he voted against himself.So they all agreed not to have this design make-over. At last, the company lost profit because its competitors came up with good-looking computers and win more customers.5.The speakers discuss two possible soluti ons to thewoman‟s p roblem. Briefly summarize theproblem.Then state which shouldsolution you recommend and explain why.The woman was supposed to drive a bunch ofelementary students tothe zoo tomorrow butshe didn‟trent a van in time and the kids will be disappointed if the trip gets cancelled.The mansuggests herto borrow a carfromone ofher friends.Butshe has toborrow two cars to hold al l the kids and it‟s hard to find anotherdriver.Then the man suggests her to takethe publictransportation.Heisprettysurethat thereisabuslinepastthezoo. But thewomanthinksit‟s hard to control the kids on the bus.Well personally,Iwould recommend the woman to take the bus line.Even ifthe kids are handful,they arestill controllable.But there is no guarantee thatshe can borrow two cars and find anotherdriverat the same time.ing the researchdescribedby the professor,explain whatscientists have learned aboutthe mathematical abilities ofbabies.In the lecture the profe ssordescribes how scientists learn aboutbaby‟s mathematicalabilities.Researchers did an exp erimenttotestbaby‟s abi lity to add thatbaby knows one plus one equals two.They firstputadoll in frontofa baby and lowered thescreen tohide the do ll.So the baby knows it‟s there. Then they clearly putanotherdoll behind the screen so there should be twodolls.Butresearcherssecretlytookoneawayandwhentheyliftthescreenup, the baby was surprised because itexpected to see twodolls buttherewasonlyone.Weknowwhenababyissurprised,itstaresatthethingthatmakesit feel surprised.The researchers recorded the bab y‟s eye-movement with a camera and found thatthe babystared.So the baby has the ability to add. It knows onedoll plus one doll equals two dolls.新托福TPO口语参考答案——TPO21.Choose a place yougo to often thatis importanttoyou and explain why it is important. Please include specific details in yourexplanation.Ioften go to the basketball courtnearmy apartment. It‟s very importantto me because Iplay basketball there everyday and basketball is my favorite sport. Eversince Iwas a little boy,I have been playing in thatcourt with my friends. When in juniorhigh,I practiced shooting and dribbling in thatcourt nearlyeveryday till late atnight.Besides,the courtis the reminderofan awful lotof my valuable memories.I still can rememberthathow Istarted outshooting badly and then afterseveral wee ks‟ practice,I could shootwell and dribbled well.Icanalso remembermanyfriends with whomIplayed basketball and form teams.Without thatcourt, I couldn‟tpossibly make so many fr i ends.So it‟s very importanttome.2.Some college students choose to take courses in a variety ofsubjectareas in ordertogeta broad education.Otherschoose to focus on a single subject area in orderto havea deeperunderstanding ofthatarea.Whichapproach to course selection do you think is better forstudents and why?Well,Ithink taking a wide variety ofcourses is better forstudents.Because, firstof all,Ithink undergraduate study is meantfor broadness.Students had betterbroaden theirhorizon andpreventthemselves frombeingnarrow-minded.Second ofall,I think before s tudents find their“true love”,I mean,thesub jectthey really wantto go deep into,they should probably extend theirstudyfieldand tastedifferentsubjects in va rious areas so as to identify the “true love”.Take myselfas an example,mymajoris software engineering in the college,butI took variouscourses outside mymajor field. Then Ifound outthat I was more interested in literaturethan in computerand software.So literatureis my “truelove”.Ithink itdepends on the students themselves.Ifa studentdoesn‟tknow his or herinterest.I t‟s betterforthem totake a variety ofcourses so as to taste various kinds ofsubjects tofind theirinterest.Takemyselfas an example,my majorissoftwareengineeringinthecollege, but Itookvariouscoursesoutside my major field.Then Ifound outthatIwas more interested in literature than in computerand software.So literature is my interest. Ifastudentalready know whathe likes and whathe needs to learn.Then taking many differentclasses will be a little bitwaste oftime. I t‟sbetterf or this studentto concentrate on his orherinter est.For instance,I don‟tthink BillGates ne ed to take courses otherthan computerscience when inHarvard,coz he knewwhathe liked and what he wanted.He alreadyknew his interest.3.The man expresses his opinion of the university‟s pl an to eliminate the bus service.State his opinion and explain the reasons he gives for holding that opinion.The university has decided to stop its free bus service because not very many students ride the bus and plans to use the money saved to expand the overcrowded parking lots. But the man in the conversation doesn‟t like the plan. As for the point about few students riding the bus, the man saysit‟s because the bus routes are out of date. The bus only goes through the places that are too expensive for students to live. If the buses change route and the man thinks there will be plenty of students taking those buses.The man also disagrees with the uni versity‟s plan to e xpand the parking lots. He thinks the plan will encourage more students to drive, which will add noise and create moretraffic.Then they‟ll n eed more parking space. He thinks the university should make it easier for students to take the public buses not the other way around.4.Explainhow the examples of tying shoes and learning to type demonstrate the principle ofaudience effects.The principle of audience effects is that individua ls‟ performance is affected by the knowledge that others are watching them. The professor uses examples of tying shoes and learning to type toIn the example of tying shoes, one group of college students was told that they were being observed, the other didn‟t know they were being observed. The students who knew they were being watched tied their shoes much faster than the other group. And in the example of learning to type, when we are conscious of being observed, we will increase typing speed. We type faster than we do alone. Also, other behavioral pattern will increase, like making mistakes. So when we type faster when we know we are being observed, we also make more mistakes.5.The speakers discuss two possible soluti ons to thewoman‟s p roblem. Describe theproblemand the two solutions.Then explain whatyou think the woman should doandwhy.Theprofessorasksthewomantoattendafieldtrip,butthewomanhasalready promised anotherprofessorto help setup amuseumexhibitionnextweek.Andthisistheproblem.Theprofessorofferstwopossiblesolutions.Thefirstis thatshecantalktotheotherprofessortoseeifthereissomeoneelsewhocan replace thewoman tohelp setup the museumexhibition.The second is that the woman finishes setting up the museumbefore theysetout the field trip. Actually,Ithink the woman should choose the second solution,because she has already agreed to help the otherprofessorand theotherprofessoris counting on her.I t‟s possible thatthere is noone else who can take herplace. So she‟d better finish the taskfirstbefore she goes to the field trip.ing points and examples fromthetalk, explain the two definitions of moneypresented by the professor.Theprofessortalks abouttwo definitions ofmoney,a broad one anda narrow one.By the broad definition,money is everything with which we can make purchases.Forexample,coins and bills canbe money, because we can use themtobuygoodssuchasvegetablesandpayforservicessuchastaxi.Butin a bartersystem,vegetables can be money, because farmers cangive drivers vegetablesin exchange fora drive.By the narrow definition,in a society,the legal tenderis money. Forinstance,in the US,drivers and farmersmust acceptdollars as payment.People can use dollars to pay for taxiand buy vegetablesbecause dollaris the legal tenderin the US. So,dollar in the form ofcoin and bill is money.新托福TPO口语参考答案——TPO31.Whatcharacteristics do you think make someone a good parent?

Explainwhy.Iprefertoworkonassignmentsindividually.Therearetworeasons.Thefirstis thatIliketobeinaquietplacewhilestudying.IfIstudyinagroup,Iwillalways be interrupted by group memberswho talk aboutirrelevantthings. Then it‟s possi b le thatI can‟teven finish the assignm ents. Once,I attended a group discussion.Many people were noteven discussing.They were justtalking aboutNBAgames.When itended,I gotnothing fromit. The secon d reason isthatI‟d like to think independently.Studying individually gives me enough timetodevelopmyownideas.Whenstudyinginagroup,Iwillalwaysb edistracted by other‟s opi nions and thoughts.So sometimes manyassignments are not done by myselfbutby othergroup members.Like last week,Iworked in a group to solve math problems.It turned outthatmany problems were solved by others notby myself. I feltveryunhappy aboutit.Personally,Ilike working in groups better. There are tworeasons toname.

State heropinion andexplain herreasons forholding thatopinion.Dining services will notserve hot breakfastfood anymore.They only serve cold breakfastfood.The woman in the conversation thinks the change is ridiculous.Firstofall, she thinks whethersomething is hotorcolddoesn‟t necessarilymean itishealthy.S he says that in a really cold morning,a nice warm omelet is obviously betterthan a bowel ofcold cereal.Secondly,she thinks the change will not help save money. Because if the students can‟t get what they want from dining hall, they will go off-campus.Then they have to pay off-campusprice,which is more expensive.So this change will nothelp save money but actually end up costing more.ing the example discussedby the professor,explain whatcognitive dissonanceis and howpeople often deal with it.CognitiveDissonance is a kind ofmental discomfortpeople feelwhen they experiencecontradictions between theiractions and theirbeliefs.The professoruses his own experience to illustrate this phenomenon.When he was in highschool,hewas addict ed to video games. He didn‟tdo well in study and even failed in chemistry. He knew he should study well in ordertofind good jobs and have agood career.Buthejustcouldn‟tgive up vi deo games. And this was his conflict.His solution was to change hisperspective. Chemistry was the only class he did badly.He was pretty surethathe wanted tobeasociologistandbeingasociologistdoe sn‟tneed tobewellinchemistry. So he reinterpreted his understanding ofdoing well inschool.Initially,he thoughthe should dowell in all subjects to be successful in school.But then, he thought he should only do well in the subjects that are directly related to his future career.So he changed hisbeliefto eliminate theconflict.5.The speakers discuss two possible soluti ons to thewoman‟s p roblem.

It's the trade-off.ing the examplesfrom thetalk,explainhow persuasive strategies are used in advertising.The professortalks abouttwo kindsofpersuasive strategies in advertising.

Plus,the computerclassroomsare big enough to holdmore computers.Sohe thinks buying more computers isa betterway to solve the problem.4.Explainhow the examples fromthe professor's lecture illustrate the relationshipbetween verbal and nonverbal communication.The professoruses his two experiences to illustrate therelationshipbetween verbal andnonverbalcommunication.In his firstexperie nce,his uncle visited him.Since he hadn‟tseen his uncle foralong time, when he saw his uncle,he said“Whata surprise!”and because he was so happy that he jumped like a little boy and had a huge smile onhis face.His uncle feltgood becauseofhis words and actions.Si nce the professor‟s ve rbal message agrees with his nonverbal signals,theverbalmessage is enhanced.Inhis second experience,when he was showinghis daughterhow to use ahammer,hesm ashed his thumb.Hesaid to his daughter“Don‟tworry,honey.I t‟s nothing.”butat the same timehe was shaking his hand and his face was contorted.His daughter keptaskinghimifhe was okay.Because the professor‟s verbal m essage doesn‟tag ree with his nonverbalmessage,the communication is totally different.5.The speakers discuss two possible solutions to theman's problem.Briefly summarize the problem.Then state which solution yourecommend and explain why.The mandidn‟ttake h is class schedule with him and it‟s his firstd ay in the college,so hecouldn‟tfind his cl assroom.The woman offerstwo possible solutions. The firstsolution is that he can go to use the computerinthe computercenterto check the schedule.But i t‟ll take sometime togo there and he doesn‟twantto be late forhis firstclass.The second solution is thathe can justgoto big classrooms in the building to check whichone is theclass he is going to take.Buthe t hinks it‟ll be embarrassing ifhe goes into a classroomandasksifheisintherightroom.Iwouldrecommendhetogotothecompute r center,since he didn‟ttake his class schedul e,it‟s necessary to c heck all classes for the whole d ay.Maybehe‟ll be lateforhisfirst class,but atleasthe won‟tfeel embarrassed for the restof the day.ingpointsandexamplesfromthelecture,explaintheimportanceofvisual elements inpainting.Inthe lecture,the professorsaysin orderfor arttoexpress meaningor emotion,artists need to combine various visual elements such ascolorand texture.Differentcolors can evoke different moods.Red is a strong colorso it evokes strong emotions such as extreme joy, excitementand anger,whereas blue is a cool colorso itevokes calming effect.As fortexture,a rough texture can evoke strong emotions and strength,while a smoothtexture is more calming and less emotional.Artists need to combine these elements to express meaning orconvey message.Forexample,ifa painting uses strongcolors such as red and orange and uses brush strokes to give a rough texture, itwill convey a wilderand more chaotic emotion in a viewerthan apainting with softcolors and smooth texture.新托福TPO口语参考答案——TPO51.Talk about a place you enjoyed going or visiting whenyouwerea child.

Use details and examples toexplain your answer.Itis more importan t tostudy math or science than it istostudyart or literature.Istronglydisagree with the statementthatstudying mathor science i smore important than studyingart or literature.Of course,math and science are veryimp ortant.But itis me aningless to say tha t they ar e more important thana rt or literature.We admire Newton forhisscientific achievements such asNewto n's first law.We equally admire Leonardo fo r hisart accomplishments such asMona Lisa.These two people are not comparablebecause they arein two differentfields.Sosome people ma ylikestudyingscience.Some may likestudying literature.They all make contributionsto the human civilizations.Somathor science and arto r literature,they are equallyimportant.3.Theman expresseshisopinion about the university'splan.Statehis opinion and explain the reasons he givesforholdingthat opinion.The man thinks it's a greatideatolet the culinarystudentsto cook meals in the Campus Dining Club. His first reasonisthat it's good forstudents in the culinary program.His cousinisin the programandsays preparin g meals for a large numberof peopleis very different from just cooking in the classes.Because cooking inclasses,youcan justtaketime,bu t cookingfor many peop le,youhavea lot of pressure andmight make mistakes. So it's averyagood practicefor them. His second reasonisthat e ven with the extracost,the mealsprovided by thesestudents are still much cheaper than that of the fancy restaurantsin the town. Butthe food will be equally good. He thinks it'll be worth it.ingthe professor's examples,explain the advertisi ng techniqueo f targetmarketing.Targetmarketing is a strategy of advertisingtosmaller,specificcustomers.The professor uses a cell-phonecompanyas an example.If t he companywantsto sel l phones t o young people,it‟ll choose to put a T V commercial in the programs that young peoplelike to watch and inthe commercial,the phone is shown to be coo l andhasa brightcolor.Also, in the commercial,kids are having agoodtime with theirfriends.Ifthe companywants to appealto businessmen,it‟ll put a different TV commercialin a businessprogram.Besides,the commercial will showho w the cell-phonecan handle all businessefficiently and can save money. So it‟s basically the same cell-phone,but the companymakestwo different commercials toattract two specific groups of people.5.Briefly summarizethe woman‟sproblem.Then state which solution you would recommend. Explain the reasonsfor your recommendation.The woman sprained her wrest but she is supposed to play the violinin her string-quarte t concert next week. Now she isupset.In the conversation,they talk abouttwo possiblesolutions.The first one i s that shecan just wait andplay t he violin i ntheconce rt next week becaus e her doctor says that she will be better whenthe concert begins.But s he will beout of practice and probably perform badly.Thesecond solutio n isthat she can askJim totake her place.Jim is avery good violinist. But he is not very reliable,because heis always latefor r ehearsals. I recommendher to choose the second solution.Since she isdefinitely going to beout of p ractice,it‟s betterto ask Jimtotake her place.And since she knows Jim‟s problem,she can urge Jim to showupon ti m e forall the rehearsals.It‟s just only a week.ing points and examples from the talk, explain the two typesof motivation.In the lecture,the professortalks about two types of motivation:extrinsic motivation and intrinsic motivation.Extrinsic motivation isexternal.A person with extrinsic motivationperforms a behaviorin orde r to getan externalreward.For example,a child whodoes somehousework doesn‟t really enjoydoing housework.She just wantstoobtain somemoney. If her parentsstopgiving her money,she might st opdoing t he housework. However, people with intrinsic motivation do something out of pure pleasure.Theydo som ething because they enjoy doing it orthey get a sense of accomplishment from it.For example,the professor goes to the gym several times week. She is not going therefor Marathon trainin g oranything.Shegoes t here because after s ome exercise she feels good ab out herself.。
