TOEIC - Test of English for International Communication(国际交流英语考试),亦被称做“商业托福”,是针对英语非母语人士所设计的英语交流能力测试。

TOEIC 成绩反映人们在国际工作环境中使用英语与他人交流的熟练程度。

近年来,大学毕业生的出路日益多元化。

由美国ETS (Education Test Service)1979年开发的一种职场英语——TOEIC考试正受到广大考生越来越多的关注和认可。

与具有相同性质的剑桥商务英语(BEC)相比,TOEIC似乎还是一个新鲜事物。

其实,无论是从其开发历史方面还是从认可程度上,TOEIC(托业)都是一个成熟的有含金量的认证。

从认可企业的名录上就可以看出这一点,如宝洁公司、三星电子、可口可乐、麦当劳、BMW、Nike等企业。

现在,它已经成为当今世界上顶级的职业英语能力考试。

新TOEIC(托业)考试变革新托业(New TOEIC)将在今年的11月正式登陆中国。

那么,这个消息对于那些准备参加TOEIC考试的考生,以及那些希望获得职业英语认证的广大学生朋友和职场人士来说,到底意味着什么呢?首先,目前的TOEIC考试由两大部分组成:听力部分(Listening Section)和阅读部分(Reading Section),听力部分45分钟,阅读部分75分钟,总时长120分。

每次考试开始前的30分钟需要填涂问卷调查。

针对听力和阅读部分的变化通过下表可以表明题题型增加选考部分:加入口语和写作部分作为选考部分。

其余诸如考试流程、得分机制等元素,依然保持不变。

考试形式的改变,使有的考生开始担心起来。

的确,无论是减少听力语篇数量以增加单篇考查量,还是双语篇阅读题,都是我们原来所不熟悉的考试形式。

但是从ETS以往改革的经验来看,大家完全没有必要恐慌。

为了保证证书具有同等效力,考试的难易程度不会出现大幅度的变化。

而且对现有的样题进行分析之后,笔者得出的结论是考查的能力并没有本质的差别,只是方法和表现策略略有不同。

2019年托业考试阅读备考背景材料8

2019年托业考试阅读备考背景材料8The systematic annihilation of the buffalo hunted by the Plains Indians, encroachment on their lands, and treaties not worth the paper they were written on led to Native Americans being herded into reservations, deprived of both their livelihoods and their spiritual connection to their land. Nineteenth-century immigration drastically altered the cultural landscape as settlers of predominantly British stock were joined by Central Europeans and Chinese, many attracted by the 1849 gold rush in California. The South remainedfirmly committed to an agrarian life heavily reliant on African American slave labor. Tensions were on the rise when abolitionist Abraham Lincoln was elected president in 1860. The South seceded from the Union, and the Civil War, by far the bloodiest war in America's history, began the following year. The North prevailed in 1865, freed the slaves and introduced universal adult male suffrage. Lincoln's visionfor reconstruction, however, died with his assassination. America's trouncing of the Spaniards in 1898 marked the USA's ascendancy as a superpower and woke the country out of its isolationist slumber.The US still did its best not to get its feet dirty in WWI's trenches, but finally capitulated in 1917, sending over a million troops to help sort out the pesky Germans. Postwar celebrations were cut short by Prohibition in 1920, which banned alcohol in the country. The 1929 stock-market crash signaled the start of the Great Depression and eventually brought about Franklin Roosevelt's New Deal, which sought to lift the country back to prosperity. After the Japanesedropped in uninvited on Pearl Harbor in 1941, the US played a major role in defeating the Axis powers. Atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945 not only ended the war with Japan, but ushered in the nuclear age. The end of WWII segued into the Cold War - a period of great domestic prosperity and a surface uniformity belied by paranoia and betrayal. Politicians like Senator Joe McCarthy took advantage of the climate to fan anticommunist flames, while the USSR and USA stockpiled nuclear weapons and fought wars by proxy in Korea, Africa and Southeast Asia. Tensions between the two countries reached their peak in 1962 during the Cuban Missile Crisis.。

托业考试阅读理解临考冲刺

托业考试阅读理解临考冲刺nhl’s crosby era begins as penguins draft phenom firstottawa —it was sidney crosby’s draft, and yet it was clearly the americans’ day when the nhl officially relaunched competition with a scaled-down version of its annual amateur draft.the celebration of crosby, picked first overall by thepittsburgh penguins, was the main storyline of a league trying to recover from a season lost to a lockout. crosby, 17, is considered the most marketable prospect since penguins’ owner/player mario le mieux was drafted in 1984."this is amazing," crosby told the ap. "i’m just really relieved. it’s unbelievable. i’m so happy right now."crosby, who turns 18 next week, is a 5-foot-11, 193-pound forward with surprising strength and masterful vision on the ice. a prolific scorer, crosby won nearly every trophy the last two seasons in the quebec major junior hockey league.he had 66 goals and 102 assists in 62 games, after a rookie campaign that featured 54 goals and 81 assists in 59 games, and was the canadian major junior player of the year both seasons."he creates a lot of excitement," said lemieux, crosby’s new boss and possible linemate with the penguins. "he has all the tools to be a great player. he sees the ice well, he’s a great skater. he sa ys he needs to work on his shot, but it looks pretty good to me."crosby will share the spotlight in pittsburgh with lemieux, the no. 1 pick in 1984, and will be looked upon to rescue the franchise that hasn’t made the playoffs since 2001 and desperately needs a new arenain which to play.pittsburgh’s luck already seems to be changing as the penguins won last week’s draft lottery that determined the picking order of the first round."i’m not really thinking about it right now," crosby said of the exp ectations. "i want to come and play in the nhl next year. that’smy goal, that’s my focus right now. i’m going to put everything into that and try to move on from there."aside from the crosby focus, the u.s. hockey program grabbed a share of the spotlight when a record eight americans were chosen in the first round, including two of the first three picks. after crosby was chosen, the mighty ducks of anaheim chose power forward bobby ryan (camden, n.j.) and hard-hitting defenseman jack johnson (indianapolis) was taken by the carolina hurricanes with the third pick. johnson, who played prep-school hockey in minnesota with crosby, plans to enroll at the university of michigan. speedy jack skille (madison, wis.) went seventh to the chicago blackhawks and defenseman brian lee (fargo, n.d.) was grabbed ninth by the ottawa senators."the development program has worked very, very well and you are seeing some signs of that," said carolina general manager jimmy rutherford. "and people questioned it at the time (it was introduced in 1996). but guys are going through that program and getting drafted higher and higher.rutherford was referring to the u.s. national development program in ann arbor, mich. in theory, the program was designed to bring the country’s best teenage players to play together on the under-17 and under-18 national teams. players from around the country all live and train in ann arbor. johnson and skille both came directly out of the under-18 program. the americans won the under-18 world championship this past winter."this says a lot," said johnson whose prickly playing style has drawn comparisons to chris chelios. "we’re trying to build up with other countries, like canada."skille came into the u.s. national development program as a 185-pound player and has grown into a 205-pound, hard-driving winger. "the weightlifting program there was awesome," skille said.。

托业考试阅读理解备考文章part 1police suspect racial motive in liverpool ax killinga black teenager who was followed through a park by a group of men shouting racist taunts died saturday after an attacker embedded an ax in his skull.anthony walker, 18, was waiting for a bus with his girlfriend and a cousin when a man started shouting racist taunts at them late friday near walker’s home in liverpool, police said.the three left to find another bus stop to avoid any trouble, police said. but a group of three or four men followed them through a park, and walker’s companions saw someone bludgeon him with an ax.they ran to get help and returned a few minutes later to find him with the ax embedded in his skull, news reports said. walker died early saturday.no arrests had been made in the attack."what we are dealing with here is a vicious and unprovoked attack on a young black man which we believe to be racially motivated," said detective chief superintendent peter currie, who was leading the investigation.police said several other incidents of racial abuse had been reported in the area recentlypart 2Formerly conjoined twins doing wellOne year after a neurosurgeon separated them by cutting through a section of brain, Carl Aguirre says "Wow!" as he whizzes a toy truck off the tray of his high chair and his brother Clarence holds his nose to let his mother know his diaper is dirty.After "starting their life over," the formerly conjoined 3-year-old Filipino boys have been amazingly free of significant complications, doctors say. Clarence is about to take his first steps and therapistssay Carl will soon follow."When they emerged from the OR as separate boys, it was almostas if that was their second birth," said Dr. Robert Marion, the boys’ ped iatrician. "Their motor skills are what you’d expect of a 1-year-old. They’re starting to walk. They’re playing appropriately in the waythat a 1-year-old would. Their speech, also, is like that of a 1-year-old."Until last Aug. 4, when they underwent the fourth in a series of major operations at the Children’s Hospital at Montefiore MedicalCenter in the Bronx, Carl and Clarence had been unable to sit up, stand straight or see each other’s face. Joined at the top of their heads, they were limited to lying on their backs, which stunted their development and subjected them to chronic pneumonia caused by inhaling food."They were going to die," Marion said. "And now seeing them with unlimited potential, it’s the most gratifying experience I’ve ever had in medicine."The boys and their mother, Arlene, came to New York in 2003, when Montefiore agreed to take the boys’ case for free — it has cost more than $3 million so far —and the Blythedale Children’s Hospitalin Valhalla agreed to donate housing and therapy.The Children’s Hospital team of neurosurgeon Dr. James Goodrich and plastic surgeon Dr. David Staffenberg separated the boys in agradual "staged" approach, pushing apart their brains and dividing the blood vessels in four operations from October 2003 to August 2004. In between, the boys were given time to heal. It was a departure from the more common single marathon operation.During the final operation, the surgeons found that the boys’ brains, which scans had indicated were abutting but separate, were actually shared and seamless at one point. Dreading whatever complications he might cause, Goodrich studied and consulted and finally found a place to cut where veins seemed to go in opposite directions."I am not a religious person," Goodrich said last week. "But I do think there was something guiding us along there."Marion said Carl suffered some seizures in the month after the separation, but Goodrich said his principal fears — neurological problems and liquid on the brain — did not develop.During a reporter’s recent visit to Blythedale, Clarence walked proudly, holding onto a therapist with one hand and pushing his stroller with the other. He was so energetic that at one point he stepped out of his pants and staffers had to find him a belt.Meanwhile, Carl stood, a bit unsteadily, to play a bead game on a table.Later, the boys laughed as they tumbled down a padded slide together. Though their skulls have not yet been reconstructed — doctors don’t want to interrupt their therapy — and specially designed plastic helmets haven’t fit well, the doctors say the boys’ heads are protected well enough by their bandages even for horseplay.Arlene Aguirre tried to hide while she watched her sons’ therapy session, because when they see her the boys want to do nothing but cuddle."Both of them want my attention all the time," she said. "But it’s very exciting that I have to deal with two children. ... Before the separation, I was thinking: ’Will I ever see them again?’"She said she is encouraged when she hears Clarence say "yogurt" and call his brother by name. Carl says "walk" and "mama" and both boys use sign language to convey such phrases as "please more eat."Aguirre said she expects to move from Blythedale soon and set up a household with the boys, and hopes to eventually return to the Philippines."My friends and family, I want to share the boys with them," she said. "It will be so exciting to go back there, holding one boy with each hand."The success of the operation has brought honors for Goodrich and Staffenberg, although Goodrich says the best prize he’s received is aMontefiore parking space. They are constantly invited to speak or write about the procedure, which has been published in journals for neurosurgery, plastic surgery and anesthesia.He said he initially tried to keep an emotional distance from the boys, but confessed "you can’t go through something like we did and not get attached. You can’t be around them and not love them."Staffenberg said he recently came up behind Clarence, who was walking down a hallway while holding a therapist’s hand."Clarence turned around and looked at me and put his other hand out for me," Staffenberg said. "I don’t think at any point during all the surgery I would have imagined that kind of situation. When you get the moment when they reach out for your hand, it’s unbelievable."。

托业考试听力阅读全攻略

托业考试听力阅读全攻略

托业考试听力阅读全攻略为了帮助大家备考,下面小编给大家整理了托业考试听力阅读全攻略,快来学习吧!托业考试全攻略之阅读篇阅读部分总共有三大题,100 小题。

考生须阅读多种题材的文章,然后回答相关问题。

考试时间为75 分钟,考生可在时限内依自己能力调配阅读及答题速度。

第五大题:完成句子40 题(四选一)这种题型对我们再熟悉不过了,其实考的就是词汇和语法。

撇开词汇不说,这部分的难度和高考中的同类题型是相当的。

所以掌握高中范围内的语法知识架构足够应付这个题型。

但是,这部分要做全对是不容易的。

究其原因有二,一是一些难词大词会吓到考生,二是有许多固定的搭配只能凭借考生平时的积累。

比如说:contingency plan(应急预案)这个词,对于大多数非母语的考生来讲,如果平时没有足够的阅读量,是很难选出contingency这个词和plan搭配的。

同样的,还有assume the title of …. 里面assume这种特殊的固定搭配,都是在考察考生平时的积累。

攻略:很多情况下,即使不知道选项里的词是什么意思,如果语法过关,也能根据词性去确定最终的正确答案。

比如: It is becoming ? more difficult for young people to afford to invest in property. 选项有progressing, progression, progressive, progressively。

这个时候如果你不知道progress是什么意思,我们先根据原句判断,这里需要的是一个副词去形容difficult。

因此,答案就选择了以副词标志-ly 结尾的progressively。

当然,这个题目当中千万别只看半句,想当然的认为become后面应该是形容词。

这样的例子在托业题当中有很多。

第六大题:短文填空12 题(四选一)这个部分是第五部分的扩张版。

把句子扩张成一个段落,每个段落三个空。

托业听读考试指南

托业听读考试指南

322019年15期总第455期ENGLISH ON CAMPUS托业听读考试指南文/叶贞虹子浏览每个问题和对应的一个选项,在脑子里就会有这道题的“大致样子”。

见缝插针”法适于整个听力过程,笔者就是这样做到所有材料都能浏览一遍的。

对于大部分人,这个速度和反应模式要通过练题练出来。

此外,托业不允许在试卷册上作任何要求以外的“标记”。

“标记”指除了要求填写的姓名和字母等以外的所有内容,所以考生须边听边涂答题卡,正好可节省一定时间。

整个练题过程须严格按照正式考试时间定闹钟以最大程度模拟考试环境,这对提高答题速度有立竿见影的效果。

4.语法和阅读理解备考。

考生填涂完听力题,立刻看到答题卡阅读题最后,据平时练题速度把超时做不完的题直接“盲涂”。

非常重要是,平时要记录大概几道题是超时的。

笔者(一般6-7道题超时)特意大致统计这几道题各个选项的正确率,考试时“盲涂”的5道题也按这个比例填涂,成绩证明,笔者用这个方法把完全盲涂25%的正确率提高了约一倍,当然其中也许有“天时”的贡献。

为什么是听力结束而不是交卷前才“盲涂”?因为随着阅读复杂程度增大,考生的脑子会逐渐进入一个能更灵活地应对这个难度的状态,一般来说,随着监考员倒计时,考生也会变得越来越紧张,过于紧张不仅影响这几道题的填涂效率,打乱计划,也会影响在最后两分钟之前的一段时间里考生的情绪,这意味着效率和正确率受影响不止两分钟,可能长达15分钟或更长。

最后有时间可以把已经“盲涂”的选项擦掉换上正确的。

此外,Part5-6不同于Part7,前者只需看填空位置前后,能选出正确答案即可,这样可节约通读全文的时间,省下的时间用于阅读。

答每一道题前,先看问题描述,如前所述,浏览一遍问题且阅读其中一个选项,接下来就有目的性地花最少的时间获取最大的有效信息量。

短时记忆力好的考生能把问题和选项随时记着,一旦看到与答案相关的信息就立刻选出正确答案。

5.全过程技巧。

除了各部分技巧,还要提到练习频率。

Talks between each side's legal representatives have been ensuing for about a month now. They were close to a settlement about a week ago but have since slid back from their earlier talks due to new information that has been released by the FDA. The FDA announced the discovery of a substance in both companies’ migraine medication mix that exceeds the daily recommended amount by 12%. The major area of dispute is that Frecopy claims that they legally licensed the use of the main substances from Dwean to make the medication for minors; however, they claim they were unaware of the legal dosage required under the FDA regulations since Dwean is the main applicant with the FDA. However, Dwean claims Frecopy was fully aware of the legal dosage in talks prior to the actual licensing agreement signing.Recently, analysts have downgraded both companies in their equity reports and say that the two companies should proceed with caution and do their best to work out a settlement with the FDA and each other quickly and quietly.

Soon after the crew started work, there were many signs that warned me of bad things to come. I realize now that I should have taken those signs seriously and put a stop to the project to minimize the damage that it has since caused.In summary, the entire project has been a huge catastrophe. Firstly, the crew showed lit professionalism by being late in meeting their starting times on a daily basis and took long breaks during crucial stages, which caused extra work for everyone else. As well, certain areas requiring supervision were left unattended for long periods of time, and considerable garbage was left in areas that were not designated for waste removal.These issues have caused much stress to our employees and reduced the productivity of our office over these weeks. Our staff has expressed their discomfort, their feelings of being unsafe and have wasted precious time cleaning up after your company's crew instead of doing their regular work.Mr. Warner, I have left many messages about this on your voice-mail but have not heard back. I am astonished and extremely disappointed at the performance and quality of the work being done and the lack of responsiveness from your company to my calls.This letter serves to confirm the immediate end to your company's contract with us.

I have just returned and have listened to your messages and read your letter.There is no excuse for the lack of professionalism is and poor performance shown by the crew from our organization. The assigned crew was a new team subcontracted from a source that I thought was very reliable. Normally, our senior supervisor would have worked alongside the crew on this project but, due to extenuating circumstances, could not. I am shocked and severely sorry for the troubles this has caused, and to the reputation of my company.Please accept my deepest apologies and our offer to complete the work properly immediately--with payment for hard costs only. (Our labor and other fees will be waived entirely.) 'You have my personal commitment that the project will be completed at the highest quality with my direct supervision.I will give you a call in the morning hopefully to be able to discuss this proposal with you and to convince you to allow us to finish this project.1.

托业考试阅读材料:手机对睡眠的影响Can't Sleep? Turn Off the Cellphone!A good night's sleep is becoming ever more elusive for the average American — and it's a problem that plagues us at all ages, from infancy to adulthood. Now three new papers in the Sept. 1 issue of the journal Sleep tackle the question of sleeplessness: two studies illuminate the reasons why teens and adults don't sleep enough. With teens, a major culprit is cellphone use; with adults, it's work. Meanwhile, a third study of young children reveals that sleep deprivation in early life may lead to future behavioral and cognitive problems.The study in children was conducted at the Sleep Disorders Center at Sacre-Coeur Hospital in Montreal, where researchers analyzed the sleep patterns of close to 1,500 children aged 2.5 to 6 years —the first detailed study on the effects of sleep in developing children. The youngsters? mothers were asked to record the amount of time the children slept each night and fill out questionnaires about their child's hyperactivity and impulsivity, inattention and daytime sleepiness. Half of the kids slept 10 hours a night on average — the recommended amount for preschool-aged children — while 6% slumbered for less than 10 hours each night. Those short-sleeping children, says lead author Dr. Jacques Montplaisir, performed poorly on vocabulary and cognitive development tests at age 5, compared with the more rested group. In fact, the study found that getting one fewer hour of sleep a night during early development can triplea child's chance of scoring low on such tests, underlining sleep's long-lasting effects on proper language and cognitive development.Not surprisingly, the short-sleepers were also more likely to score higher on tests of hyperactivity and impulsivity at age six, highlighting the importance of consistent and sufficient sleep in promoting concentration and attention skills. Montplaisir's group found more hyperactivity even among youngsters who started out as short-sleepers but had normalized their sleeping patterns by preschool age, to 10 hours a night. That suggests that early childhood — before about 3.5 years of age — is a critical period during which parents should establish proper sleeping patterns, says Montplaisir, since lack of sleep during that stage can lead to detrimental effects on behavior and development later in life.These results are the only the latest in a growing body of evidence that links good sleep habits to better cognitive development in children. But they don't necessarily mean that light-sleeping children are doomed to wearing the dunce cap. Jodi Mindell, professor of psychology at Saint Joseph's University in Philadelphia, and an expert with the National Sleep Foundation, notes that Montplaisir's study doesn't establish a firm cause and effect between sleep and test performance. She notes that other factors can affect both how long children sleep and how they score on tests; youngsters with ADHD, for example, typically sleep less than other children and tend to score poorly on neuropsychological tests. "It could be that there are other variables here that could be impacting on both sleep and test performance," she says.Unfortunately, sleep remains elusive for many adolescentsand adults as well, and two other studies in Sleep reveal that cell phones and our jobs may be to blame. In one study of more than 1,600 13-to-15-year-olds in Belgium, scientists at Katholieke University Leuven found that almost 60% of students used their cell phones either to talk or text message after turning their lights out at bedtime. After following the kids for one year, the researchers report that teens who used their cell phone more than once a week after lights-out were five times more likely than kids who never used cell phones at bedtime to say they felt tired one year later. The later the teens stayed awake with their phones, the more tired they were. Most teens concentrated their phone use around midnight, but some continued communicating well past 3 a.m.Among adults, sleep patterns aren't any better. Dr. Mathias Basner of the University of Pennsylvania plumbed a publicly available database of nearly 50,000 people questioned by the U.S. Census to find out exactly what short-sleepers — those who get four to five hours of sleep a night — did during waking hours. Since earlier surveys had linked less sleep with greater risk of disease and death, Basner was eager to tease apart whether it was the lack of sleep itself, or something else that the short-sleepers were doing while they were awake that was making them so unhealthy. He and his team were surprised to find that the main reason a person lost sleep at night was work. The more a person worked, the less he or she slept: compared with normal sleepers, people who slept 4.5 hours or less per night worked about 1.5 hours more per weekday and nearly two hours more on weekends. "The fact that work influences sleep time was not surprising, but we were amazed by the dominance of the work time effect," says Basner. "For every hour of sleep you lose, youwork 30 minutes more." Previous surveys conducted over the past decade had found that for every hour of sleep lost, the average person worked seven to eight additional minutes, so these new results suggest a disturbing trend toward increased work-related sleeplessness.Basner notes that his findings in no way suggest a causal relationship between work and the amount of sleep a person gets (or, for that matter, between work and the higher risk of health problems associated with less sleep), but they do suggest that in future sleep studies, researchers should ask about how much time their subjects spend at work, and control for the influence that work may have on sleep.

历年托业考试之阅读真题Questions 10-19No two comets ever look identical, but they have basicfeatures in common, one of themost obvious of which is a coma. A coma looks like amisty, patch of light with one or moretails often streaming from it in the direction away fromthe Sun.Line At the heart of a comet ’s coma lies a nucleus of solid material, typically no more than(5) 10 kilometers across. The visible coma is a hugecloud of gas and dust that has escapedfrom the nucleus, which it then surrounds like anextended atmosphere. The coma can extend as far as a million kilometers outward from the nucleus. Around the coma there isoften an even larger invisible envelope of hydrogen gas.The most graphic proof that the grand spectacle of acomet develops from a relatively(10) small and inconspicuous chunk of ice and dust wasthe close-up image obtained in 1986 by the European Giottoprobe of the nucleus of Halley ’s Comet. It turned out to bea bit like avery dark asteroid, measuring 16 by 8 kilometers. Iceshave evaporated from its outer layersto leave a crust of nearly black dust all over the surface. Bright jets of gas from evaporatingice burst out on the side facing the Sun, where the surface gets heated up, carrying dust(15) with them. This is how the coma and the tails are created.Comets grow tails only when they get warm enough for ice and dust to boil off. As acomet’s orbit brings it closer to the Sun, first thecoma grows, then two distinct tails usuallyform. One, the less common kind, contains electrically charged (i.e., ionized) atoms of gas,which are blown off directly in the direction away from the Sun by the magnetic field of(20) the solar wind. The other tail is made of neutral dust particles, which get gently pushed back by the pressureof the sunlight itself. Unlike the ion tail, which isstraight, the dust tailbecomes curved as the particles follow their own orbits around the Sun.I0.

代词题型:
代词出现频度几乎占据26%左右,即每篇文章中有两题代词题目。

在98年后考题中代词题目数量减弱。

代词的题型从代词出现的位置能
够分为
1.句首代词
2.句间代词
3.句末代词
4.短语指代
句首,句间,句末代词解题原则:
1.代词指代的名词单复数要和代词单复数一致。

2.代词用所选答案替换后,句子结构和意义应完整,这是解题的
一种思路。

3.代词通常指代前句的主语或宾语,偶有指代后句情况。

4.代词一般贴近主题或主题词,包括段落局部主题词。
