托福聽力考試經(jīng)常出現(xiàn)加試題，通常這樣的情況下考試時間會延長。雖然說加試成績不計入總分，但是大家還是會很緊張，因為畢竟我們不知道哪些是加試題。如果可以事前知道哪些是加試題，我們就不用那么緊張了。
浪漫主義詩歌
literature 主要講了18-19 世紀英國浪漫主義(Romanticism)詩歌的代表人Wardsworth的詩。他是浪漫主義的鼻祖，但浪漫主義這個稱謂是后人加上的，不是他們本身這樣稱呼自己的(此處出題)。Romanticism不是我們平時理解的romance，和男女之間的愛情無關(guān)。Romanticism針對的是 commonpeople而不是少數(shù)educated people，用的是simple language，描述的是日常生活中常見的事物，孩子，人類情感，以及自然和人類之間的互動。教授以自己為例，說自己在散步時感受到了這種互動(此處出題)與romanticism針鋒相對的一種風(fēng)格是neoclassicism新古典主義，也是那位romanticism的鼻祖很反對的。 neoclassicism使用太多的elaboration，如sky不叫sky，而叫blue什么的;bird不叫bird，而叫feathered person。教授把該詩人的作品分為三個階段。早期的浪漫主義作品，主要描述植物的(花與草)詩歌。
中期時是對一些社會現(xiàn)象的評論。后期時對早期的作品進行修改。目前文學(xué)界還是認為它早期的作品是最好的。(教授還說，他的詩越寫到后來越糟糕，反而早期的比較好，本文重點講了他第一階段的詩)。
wordsworth, as we have said, is the chiefrepresentative典型的 of some of the most important principles原則 in the romantic movement, but he is far more a memberof any movement, through his supreme poetic expression of some of the greatestspiritual ideals he belongs among the five or six greatest English poets.
first, he isthe profoundest interpreter of nature in all poetry. his feeling for nature hastwo aspects. he is keenly sensitive, and in a more delicately discriminatingway than any of his predecessors, to all the external beauty and glory ofnature, especially inanimate nature of mountains, woods and fields, streams andflowers, in all their infinitely varied aspects. a wonderful joyous andintimate sympathy with them is one of his controlling impulses.
In the second place, wordswoth is the most consistentof all the great English poets of democracy, though here as elsewhere hisinterest is mainly not in the external but in the spiritual aspect of things.
the obstinacy andthese poems are only the most conspicuous result of w's chief temperamentaldefect, which was an almost total lack of the sense of humor. regarding himselfas the prophet of a supremely important new gospel, he never admitted thepossibility of error in his own point of view and was never able to stand asidefrom his poetry and criticize it dispassionately.
托福聽力加試題的位置不固定，考生很難分辨哪一道是加試題，只能通過日常積累來判斷。大家盡量不要憑空揣測，以免影響自己的托福成績。
