閱讀我個人感覺很難,第一篇講portrait藝術(shù)的,不知道是不是新題,重點就是說肖像畫藝術(shù)在哪些方面不同于其他藝術(shù)形式,三段里面前兩段巨長,第一段說肖像會隨social convention發(fā)生改變;第二段說肖像畫的畫法和對象與其他藝術(shù)形式不同,一般是要求對象坐在那給他畫,即時因為某些原因不能當面(重要的人或是太忙),那也要依據(jù)照片或是草圖畫;第三段說什么由于主流的專業(yè)畫家(米開朗琪羅)認為portrait太沒有技術(shù)含量,只是機械勞動,所以portrait的地位不高,但是他們還是自己會練習這種畫法,舉了Picasso的例子。
第二篇或第三篇(順序忘了,有一篇還徹底忘了)講一個什么古城的建筑的。第一部分說這個建筑里有各種各樣的匠工,加工貴重金屬的,做陶瓷的,織布的等等,糾結(jié)了一下說他們做好的東西都要嚴格審查啊什么的;第二部分說這個建筑到底是歸為palace還是temple,單獨說哪個都不合適,最后的結(jié)論居然發(fā)明出新的術(shù)語,palace-temple or temple-palace, 這一部分純屬扯淡。最后說了一下由于不清楚那個古國是君權(quán)還是神權(quán),或者是兩者都有,所以不清楚function。
最后一篇是關(guān)于啥的忘了,看了別人的機經(jīng)可能會提示一下,應(yīng)該能想起來。
聽力比較簡單,都能聽懂,就是問題問的比較,讓你第一眼不知道選啥。我記得是是一篇geology,講washington state那邊有個特殊的地形,一個叫berz的人提出既不是河流長時間沖刷出來的也是冰川消退形成的,而是在幾個小時內(nèi)被大量的水給沖出來的,在那個地形東邊后來有個人,名字忘了,發(fā)現(xiàn)了有大湖的證據(jù),最后一整合就成了那個大湖由于攔住水的ice dam垮了,水就給沖出這個地形了。而且最后還是iceland有人發(fā)現(xiàn)類似的地形也支持了這一說。來源:www.examda.com
還有一篇ecological chemistry的,說一般的飛蛾moth靠mechanical方法逃脫蜘蛛網(wǎng),因為它們表面的鱗片可以脫落;有種特殊的蛾,叫****moth,前面是一種植物的名稱,這種蛾幼蟲吃那種植物,里面含有化學成分,貌似是醛酮類的,然后那種蛾的鱗片里就有毒,它被蜘蛛網(wǎng)纏住了也不跑,等蜘蛛來咬它,咬了一口就把它給放了。這里有語氣題,教授表現(xiàn)的很驚奇的樣子,答案是她覺得這個很surprising。
又記起來一篇business management的,說accountant的作用,一開始一個女孩子說account不僅能讓人分析數(shù)據(jù),還能做預(yù)測forecast,老師糾正了一下,說做預(yù)測不是accountant做的事,是manager的事。然后說了一下分析account這個東東可以幫助決策者知道下屬的工作情況,有問題:問功能,選兩個,1.決定他們的年終bonus,2是可以幫助train其他的下屬。最后說data并不能解決所有問題,比如員工的心理,滿意度之類的,這里也有題,問目的,答案忘了……
聽力加試是超級經(jīng)典的migration+大王花+ragtime,我上次加試就是這個!!!無語了。。。
口語和大作文完全重復(fù)2008.10.11北美托福機經(jīng),復(fù)制粘貼如下:
1. 說一個你覺得不感興趣(或者很難對付)但又非常重要的學科,具體到為啥難對付但又為什么重要.
【參考答案】personally speaking, i definitely think math is a subject that fit this description, i mean, i am not interested in math although it is a fundmental one. First, you know, there are so many complicated fomulars in the math study.
sometimes i just can’t get them into my mind although i have spent, like, 1 hour on them. they just seem to beyond me always. and this really drive me nuts. on the other hand, i am fully aware that math is a fundmental subject. you know, if you really want to study other subjects like physics , biology and chemistry well. it is a must that you really have study math in the first place. by the w ay, i am pretty interested in physics , so i am determined to work on math more and try to do it well.
2. 你愿意去電*看電影還是在家看,為啥?
【參考答案】personally speaking, i prefer to watch movies at home for the following reasons. first, because it is much cheaper to do so. you see, if you choose to watch movies in theatres, you need to spend at least 50 yuan for the ticket,while if i do this at home, i can even download some free movies from the internet. second ,i will have much more freedom at home. since i can talk with my family members about the movie we are watching freely while i can’t do this in theatres since this will bother other audiences. finally,i can eat any sort of snacks at home. for example, my favoirte snack is sun-flower seeds. without which i think it is a big missing piece while i am watching movies. again it is impossible for me to have sun-flower seeeds in theatres.
以下題目給予關(guān)鍵詞組和句型:另外請各位不要忘了模板,如in this set of materials, ....我用過兩次絕對沒有問
題。。另外,如果自己語速還可以,對reading material 可以稍稍涉及,但不要講的太多以至影響后續(xù)的答題時間
3. 一個學生寫了一個letter 到學校報紙,說應(yīng)該在期末考試周期間make food available at the residence hall。
女學生覺得這個idea 太棒了,這樣考試復(fù)習期間只要樓下買點吃的,復(fù)習進程就不會被出門覓食interrupt.
另外晚上如果餓了去自動販賣機里只有熱量很高的垃圾食品,吃了只想睡覺。如果有點三明治啥的吃了肯定能
繼續(xù)精神抖擻的看書復(fù)習。in this listening material, the woman thinks this is a really cool idea for the following reasons.
get down stairs
don’t have to go out to buy sth to eat will not be interrupted vending machine high fat food junk food make you sleepy sandwich have the energy to keep on studying
4. Halo error, 就是根據(jù)你了解的這個人的情況, tendency of generalize a person’s ability,但這種judgement 經(jīng)常是錯的。
聽力里教授舉了個例子,他從前的一個舍友物理極其好,然后他就請這個同學一起做roommate,但沒想到他東西亂堆一團糟根本是一個bad roommate。但為啥教授會覺得他應(yīng)該是一個好roommate?只是因為他知道該同學物理好,就錯誤的判斷他應(yīng)該也是一個好roommate in this lecture , the professor gives us an example roommate who is pretty good at physics mess the dorm because he is aware that he is good at physics this is a kind of misjudgement
5. 女學生放假準備回家,打算后天走。一個roommate offer a lift, 但是明天就要出發(fā),這樣她就必須stay up whole night 去完成一個paper。
或者她也可以坐bus 回家,這樣bus 是在后天走,她可以有一整天做paper。但是bus 路上boring, 很long。
(我覺得還是bus 吧,一整天做paper 不用這么熬夜啦,而且比起很快就要見到家人的期待感,這點boring 算啥,呵呵)
ready to go home to spend the vacation plan to set out the day after tommorrow take the bus for the following 2 reasons don’t have to stay up, based on my own experience it nearly kills to stay up it is boring ,she can choose to listen to some music or something like this. like me i usually kill my time on a bus in this way and it worked pretty well
6. 動物集體覓食。分兩種,一種是同種動物集體覓食,比如一群獅子獵斑馬還有一種是不同種動物互相幫助覓食,有一種啥honey guy(具體是啥不知道,音是這樣的), 知道哪有蜂蜜,但進不去采不到。但另一種叫bearthal(大概是這個吧,音反正是這樣的),不知道哪有蜜但卻有辦法采到蜜。所以兩個動物就合作啦
prey on zebra cooperative preying the problem with this kind of bee is work with each other to get the honey
2. Agree or disagree, in order to succeed, you should be more like others than be different from everyone else.
