作者: 原野    时间: 2008-11-17 13:25     标题: 1-------新托福备考六大技巧

1 模考题要选机考界面的
　　据北京新东方学校北美考试项目部主任张洪伟介绍，由于新托福考试是依托电脑网络来实施的，所以考生在选择模拟题时最好也是做网络版的，与机考界面相同或接近的试题，因为通过做机考模拟题对考生熟悉界面、键盘、掌握时间、从纸笔考试转换都是有帮助的。在机考界面的环境下做两三套模拟题对考生适应考试节奏和环境都是有好处的。模考题与真正新托福网考一样，考生可以根据自己需要选择，在考前这段时间里，考生要做2至5套这种完全电脑机考化的模拟题就可以了，根据问题再做进一步复习准备。
　　窍门一：朗文综合教程中有一张光盘，里面有两套模考题是与新托福机考界面(美国教育考试服务中心)官方网站上的收费考题完全和正式考题模式一模一样，时间、状态、临场感觉是完全相同的。在交几十美元后，考生在做完这套模考题之后5天里，会由ETS新托福评卷人员反馈给考生一个报告单，指出考生目前的问题所在。
　　2 突击听力成涨分关键
　　考生听力实力一定要强，这样得高分绝对不难。新托福考试更注重交流，把听说读写融合在一起考查考生的英语综合能力。在听说读写这四部分考试内容里，有三部分实际上都在考听力。首先，听力部分难度加大，过去的小对话全部改成长对话和长段子，所以要求考生听力水平要特别强。第二，口语中有6道题，1、2题就问考生一些简单话题，例如“描述一下你所居住的城市是什么样子的”。口语后面4道题全是和听力有关的，根据听到的问题进行回答，可见听力的比重占得特别大。第三，写作中有一部分叫“综合写作”，先读一篇，再听一篇，然后根据读到和听到的内容进行总结写作，真正把阅读、听力、写作结合在一起考查，使得考试变得更加科学了。在最后复习过程中，如果考生听力弱，一定要以模考题为导向，熟悉环境，加强听力训练，在短期内也会有一定的提高。
　　窍门二：考试经常会考一些校园场景对话以及各个学科的学术性段子。由ETS出版的《新托福考试官方指南》里已经把听力考试内容和题型都解释得很清楚了，考生也可以把书中的题读透。
　　3 词汇大回锅做个总复习
　　托福考试要求考生词汇量要大，这完全是为了阅读服务。因为阅读中有近1/3的题目都是考的词汇题，每篇文章都会有4道题考查词汇同义词、近义词，比重相当大，考生如果词汇量大，比较吃香。
　　窍门三：词汇的重要性毋庸置疑了，而海量的词汇要表现出来，打字又是个关键。要练好打字，又快又准确，拼写一定不能马虎。
　　4 学会用简单符号记要点
　　因为新托福考试是在电脑界面上进行，无法在考题上画重点、记笔记，所以考生一定要养成记笔记的习惯和快速记笔记的能力。听力考试放录音只是短短的几分钟，而且在这一过程中考生是见不到题的，考生可能能够听懂，但是题里面有很多重要的细节一定要记下来，这样在答题的时候才有把握。所以听力要“玩命”记笔记，要学会用简单符号记要点。听力的6篇阅读中有4篇是讲座，都是五六分钟一篇，篇幅很长，你认为自己能记住的东西，实际上到最后都忘了。所以不管有用没用，要边听边记。口语部分的后4题也全靠记笔记，因为这几题都是问你听到了什么，然后转述出来，这样如果笔记记得好，考生就可以看着自己的笔记回答，十有八九错不了。笔记在写作中同样适用，把听到的要点记录下来，对应点都找出来，写作也就不成问题了。
　　窍门四：考生练习一周到10天就能很快形成自己一套记笔记的方法，有很多捷径可走。比如：上箭头表示发展迅速，下箭头表示业绩下滑，还有很多简写，考生可以根据自己的习惯发明一些符号。
　　5 提前练习抗干扰答题
　　考生在这段时间里要练习在有干扰的环境下回答口语问题。因为同一个考场的考生答题速度不一样，所以有时候很多人还在做阅读的时候，有人就开始做听力了，这样的干扰在所难免。现在就开始练习在嘈杂的环境下开口回答问题，一定要很清晰地把回答说出来。口语前两题录音45秒，后面的题录60秒，所以考生也要练习在一分钟之内说透对一个问题的看法和态度的能力，锻炼短时间组织语言逻辑的能力。
　　窍门五：考生在回答的时候一定要看着。有开头、结尾和中间的几点，这样考官就会觉得你很不错，短时间内说话很有逻辑很完整，分数肯定不低。
　　6 事先算好最后“期限”
　　由于新托福是机考，考生在考试时间分配上便缺少了很多自主性。因此规划好考试时间很重要，要学会在时限压力下做题。比如做一篇阅读必须在20分钟之内完成，做口语题目规定在45秒内完成就一定不超时，写作也是一样，在30分钟内一定要写完。通过做几套电脑模考题，考生如果完全按照时间来做的话，是可以适应的。
　　窍门六：比如口试录音的那短短45秒，如果错过了，你再说什么，考官也听不到。因此在练习做模拟题时，就要给自己定出一个最后“期限”，口试还有多少秒就一定要张嘴了，写作还有多少分钟就一定要动手了。
作者: 原野    时间: 2008-11-17 13:32     标题: 新托福听力的六大特点

一、新托福听力的六大特点
　　1. 听力材料长度增加，每类文章的长度都在600字以上
　　2. 总题目数量减少，老托福听力题目为50道，新托福为34道
　　3. 听力题型简化为两大类：长对话(2个)，课堂讲座(4个)
　　4. 出现三种新的考试题目类型：表格题、重复题、多选题
　　5. 听完之后才可以看题目
　　6. 考生可以做笔记
　　通过对新托福听力特点的分析，我们不难看出记笔记是听力高分突破的关键。
　　二、IBT听力做笔记技巧
　　1. 确定记录内核心话题
　　IBT听力正式开始之前会有一个简短的内容介绍，之后屏幕上会出现一些和听力内容相关的，这些可以帮助我们确定下面所要听部分的核心话题。例如， listen to a conversation between a professor and student in a professor and student. 从这个介绍我们可以知道下面对话内容的场景：biology class，结下来会出现一个图片，里面文字为：Friends of the Earth, Biology class.后面还会出现一个对话内容的图片。通过这些文字和图片，我们可以推断这个对话的主题为与人类地球有关的一个结构，这样机构主要会负责环保事宜。确定主题可以让考生悬着的新慢慢落地。后面的长对话给出的文字和图片提示与对话类似。
　　2. 记录细节
　　确定核心话题之后，我们需要做的就是记录与其相关的细节，主要的细节为what , when, where , who , why和 how等。注意记录对话和演讲中信息引导词和信息引导句后面的信息，例如， First ..., let's look at the ..., Now, Let's move on to ..., in the nest part of lecture ,I ‘d like to talk about ....
　　3. 具体的记录方法
　　1)主要记录实词：名词，动词，形容词。这次词语所包含的信息量大，也是重读和重复的核心词汇。
　　2)采用简写、符号和缩写的速记法方法记录，例如：Q.=question，ltd.=limited, ＋＝and/plus , ?=question ，/=or。此外，还可以用一些其它只有自己熟悉的速记符号来记录重要信息。
　　总之，IBT听力分数的提高需要广大考生持续的努力和不断总结！学会做笔记， IBT听力满分不是梦。
作者: 原野    时间: 2008-11-17 13:38     标题: 新托福听力：听懂英语新闻的十个方法

1.尽量先以自己熟悉的语言了解新闻内容
　　刚到 ICRT 国内新闻中心上班的外籍记者，虽然多半中文程度并不差，但是有时候“新闻中文”并不强，在翻译或阅读一些中文的新闻稿时，虽然可以查单字，但要完全了解整体的意思，往往有些困难。发生这样的状况，我会建议他们先去看英文报纸的同样一则新闻，透过自己的母语，了解其中的来龙去脉，再回来看中文稿时，本来以为很复杂的内容，就变得简单多了。同样的，在进行当天的英文新闻学习前，先从中文的媒体了解当天主要的国际或国内新闻内容，在听英文新闻时，就容易多了。当然，这是在学习期间，过了入门的阶段，就不需要了。
　　2.掌握各类新闻英语的有限单词
　　世界之广，事件之多，大部分的人一定认为，要掌握新闻英语的相关单词，恐怕好几千个，要背完一整本的新闻词库，才有办法听懂。这个想法似乎很合逻辑，但是其实有个极大的错误，从政治新闻到娱乐新闻，当然很可能有几千个单词，但是相关的单词每几个月，甚至每几年才出现一次，就是所谓的rarely used vocabulary(罕见单词)，例如：“multilateral currency realignment”(跨国货币调整)或“planned obsolescence”(计划的陈废)，如果连这些也要背，那可真是不得了。幸好，每天新闻会遇到的单词，八成五以上，都是我们称为的commonly used vocabulary (常用单词)。换言之，只要你能掌握这五、六百个重复出现的单词，就可以听懂八成五以上的新闻。其它一些较专门的财经或科学等新闻字汇，等主要的单词会了之后，再慢慢的增加难度。
　　3.遇到听不懂的地方不要去想它，继续听下去
　　你一定有个经验，在听英语新闻或英语节目时，遇到一个你不会的字或没听清楚的段落，就开始想它的意思，往往造成接下来的内容全都没听清楚。所谓“一心不能二用”，绝不可以在听的同时，边想前一句的意思，要养成一个习惯，那就是遇到不太懂的地方不要停下来思考，专心听下去。某个段落没听懂，可能的原因有几个，也许有个没学过的单字，或有较特殊的句型，也许主播播报的速度一时加快，甚至自己分心没听好。无论原因是什幺，不管它就继续听下去，还是有可能将主要内容听懂，因为九成的时候，漏掉一点，不会是关键到让你无法连接下面的意思，但是如果思惟卡在前一句，肯定全军覆没。但如果另外那一成确实是关键呢？要是有空，可以上网找相关内容的新闻，了解一下是否有关键单字或内容较不熟悉，如果是重要新闻，一般来讲不会报一次就不报了，可以收听当天其它整点新闻的播报，也许还可以听到同样的新闻，也许听第二次就完全了解了！
　　4.不要太在乎特殊难懂的人名及地名
　　2000年初夏，裴济发生政变，没多久就宣布戒严令，军方的领导人，头衔连姓名叫Fiji military commander Commodore Frank Bainimarama，每次我播报新闻，念到这里时，都差点要吃螺丝。想一想，连我都要花时间先练习这些较难念的名字，而听众听我播报，三秒就过去了，难怪有人对这些外国人名及地名叫苦连天。遇到这样的状况时，该怎幺办呢？别理它吧！说实话，我自己听BBC或CNN的新闻，也常常听到不太熟悉的人名或地名，如某国家的人，也许我没听过，很可能听完新闻你再问我，我也答不出来他的名字，但是多半时候对了解新闻内容并不影响，我只要知道他是某国的国会领导人就够了。再如俄罗斯南部某个难念的小城镇发生什幺事，清楚它他是俄罗斯南部的小城镇，足够我了解新闻内容。你也可以试试这种方法，不要为复杂的名称所困扰。当然，重要的新闻人物及地名还是得熟悉一下。
　　5.以正确的播报速度来学习
　　我刚来台湾时，常常有人找我为一些英文教材配音。进录音室时，我坐在麦克风前，拿了稿子开始念，没念几句，负责人请我是否可以念慢些，于是我从头开始，放慢了速度，念了几句，他又问我可不可以再慢些。等到教材出版后，我听了卡带，自认为不但听起来怪怪的，对学会也没有帮助，因为人正常说话根本不是这样的。经常有本地朋友抱怨，我在 ICRT 播报新闻的速度，快得让他们听不太懂，我只能说，这是播报新闻正常的速度，即使ICRT播的慢些，等到你要听BBC或CNN ，还是会听不懂。那该怎么办呢？
　　我来台湾时，基本的中文会话不成问题，时间久了，报纸也能读看，但是打开中广或三台的新闻，还是觉得“雾煞煞”，于是我将中文新闻录音下来，重复的听，如果不会的单字，请朋友帮忙听一下，听到上百遍，直到完全听懂为止。因为我自己这样的练习，现在听中文新闻，一个字都不会漏掉。有了手上的这套教材，你不用自己录音，更不需要麻烦别人帮忙听，但是你会发现，专业的播音员录制在 CD 片上的新闻都是以正常的速度播报，因为这样才能真正的学会新闻英语，如果听不太懂，多听几次，一定大有进展。但是，如果用一些速度放慢的教材，那只能永远听教材，真正新闻的速度会跟不上。

托福新人入门必看(ZT)
前一阵写了个关于托福报名的相关材料,现在考试完了,总算能闲下来写点别的,继续给考托的兄弟姐妹们做点贡献。今天写点关于备考的。
首先先纠正一下，考托福不一定要报补习班。有能力的同学大可不必报班，要根据自己的实际情况，有的同学更适合自己安排自己复习。当然补习班有补习班的好处，可以省下很多时间和精力。毕竟那里的老师都是专门研究托福的。而且在托福班会有很多同学，共同学习共同进步嘛。革命路上有个伴总会觉得更强大，哈哈。没准还能碰到个帅哥、美女什么的，还能成就一段姻缘。现在市面上补习班多的是，我建议还是挑个“知名品牌”。什么新东方、***、秦苏珊英语中心什么的，口碑都是挺不错的。
托福的准备工作还是要从单词开始。一般都是用新东方或者王玉梅。网上还有很多配套的录音，可以下载来听听。综合性的教材也相当必要。如果报班可能会发，市面上比较多的三角洲、巴朗也都可以。先做做看，找到自己的弱项，在着重练习。网上也有不少针对单项复习经验的帖子，可以借鉴一下。
可能很多同学比较不理解机经。在这里解释一下，几经就是考完的同学跟大家分享的总结材料。有的着重于题目，这种可以对照参考，增加一些练习量，但具体作用不大。着重心得的也就是看看前车之鉴。总之我觉得没什么必要花费大量时间精力在机经上。
关于题库，目前没有什么准确的说法。虽说人家出题的肯定有，但是咱们看不到。只能是参照口语和旧托福来练习，更多的是理解他的出题范围。
还有最最重要的，模考。ETS提供付费模考，但只能用visa和master的信用卡才能支付，普通银联卡不能使用。除了单项写作没有，其他的各项都有。无论是单、全都分批改和不批改两种，批改还要另付钱，但是值得做一下。网上也有一些关于网上模考的帖子。不少托福班提供免费的网上模考，这个也是不错的选择。另外就是一定要尽量多做模考题，有帮助阿。
其实总的来说，考试前的准备可以参考网上的，有不少论坛、网站都专门为参加托福考试的广大群众服务。还有要熟练英文打字和各种快捷键地使用。如果参加托福班就要多多利用专业老师这个资源，多提问，多说话，多练习！宗旨就是要穷尽一所有资源拿到高分。
最后还是祝各位能取得个好成绩，加油喽！

Part C
　　Questions 40-42 Listen to part of a talk in an architecture class.
　　Today， we are going to take a look at the development of the skyscraper. We'll start with some buildings in Chicago. One of the circumstances that led Chicago to become home to some of the buildings now considered the prototypes for later skyscrapers was this： In 1871， there was a great fire that destroyed much of the city. It was that tragic fire that cleared the way for a new kind of city that used the new building techniques and new materials developed during the early 1800s.
　　One of these new structures was the Home Insurance Building， completed in 1885. It was ten storeys high.
Now granted， that's no higher than some of the early skyscrapers in New York City. What made Chicago's Home Insurance Building important is that it had true skyscraper instruction with an internal metal skeleton that carried the weight of the brick exterior. This metal-support system along with the earlier development of the elevator were the two innovations that made the later very tall industrial buildings possible.
　　Chicago's Reliance Building was another important building in the development of the skyscraper. It showed the architects' understanding of the possibilities of mental frame construction by eliminating walls and opening up the sides as a glass box. It was the first expression of the skyscraper as the glass shelf framed in the metal grid.
　　40. Why does the professor mention the fire of 1871？
　　41. What was important about the Home Insurance Building？
  　  42. What point does the professor make about the Reliance Building？

Questions 43-46 Listen to a lecture given in a mass communications class.
　　It was an Italian inventor who created the first wireless device for setting out radio signalsin 1895. But not until the American inventor Lee De Forest built the first amplifying vacuumtube in 1906 did we get the first radio as we know it. And the first actual radio broadcast wasmade on Christmas Eve of 1906. That's when someone working from an experimentalstation in Brand Rock， Massachusetts， arranged the program with two short musicalselections of poem and brief holiday greeting. The broadcast was heard by wirelessoperators on ships with a radio through several hundreds miles. The following year， DeForest began regular radio broadcasts in New York. These programs were similar to muchwhat we hear on radio today. In that， De Forest played only music. But because there werestill no home radio receivers， De Forest's audiences consisted only of wireless operators onships in New York Harbor. There is no doubt that radio broadcasting was quite a novelty inthose days， but it took a while to catch on commercially. Why？ Hmm， for the simple factthat only a few people， in fact， only those who tinkered with wireless telegraphs as a hobbyowned receivers. It wasn't until the 1920s that someone envisioned mass appeal for radio.This was radio pioneer David Sarnoff who predicted that one day there would be a radioreceiver in every home.
　　43. What is the talk mainly about？
　　44. Why were early radio broadcasts heard by such a small audience？
　　45. According to the talk， who owned the receivers in the early days of radio？
　　46. According to the talk， what did David Sarnoff predict about radios？

Questions 47-50 Listen to part of a talk in an astronomy class
　　The origin of Earth's moon， the largest moon in the solar system， is still something of amystery. There are some theories about its origin however. Now， keep in mind that a theoryof the moon's origin has to be consistent with two important facts. The first fact is that theEarth contains a lot of iron， most of it has an iron core. But the moon contains practically noiron. The second fact is that other than the difference in iron content， the moon and Earth arecomposed of accentually the same minerals， a similarity not shared with any other planet ormoon in our solar system.One of the earliest theories of the moon's origin， I called it the Capture Theory， proposes that the moon was somehow captured by Earth's gravitational force. This theory is improbable， however， because it assumes that the moon and Earth formed in different parts of the solar system. If this was true you would expect the moon's composition to be much different from Earth's composition， just as all the other planets in the solar system are so different from Earth.A second theory of the moon's origin is more promising. It is sometimes referred to as the Mars Theory
， because according to this theory， when Earth was still molten， it was struck by a planet about the size of Mars. The impact caused the cores of the two planets to melt together and chunks of Earth's crust to be thrown out into space. These chunks came together to form the moon. Now， remember， Earth's crust is low in iron， because the iron is in Earth's core， but high in various other minerals. This then accounts for why there is little iron but lots of other minerals on the moon.
　　47. What is the talk mainly about？
　　48. According to the professor， what characteristic of Earth's moon should a theory of its origin be able to explain？
　　49. Why is the second theory sometimes referred to as the Mars Theory？
　　50. According to the Mars Theory， why does the moon contain little iron？`

Schooling and Education
　　It is commonly believed in United States that school is where people go to get an education. Nevertheless, it has been said that today children interrupt their education to go to school. The distinction between schooling and education implied by this remark is important.
　　Education is much more open-ended and all-inclusive than schooling. Education knows no bounds. It can take place anywhere, whether in the shower or in the job, whether in a kitchen or on a tractor. It includes both the formal learning that takes place in schools and the whole universe of informal learning. The agents of education can range from a revered grandparent to the people debating politics on the radio, from a child to a distinguished scientist. Whereas schooling has a certain predictability, education quite often produces surprises. A chance conversation with a stranger may lead a person to discover how little is known of other religions. People are engaged in education from infancy on. Education, then, is a very broad, inclusive term. It is a lifelong process, a process that starts long before the start of school, and one that should be an integral part of one’s entire life.
　　Schooling, on the other hand, is a specific, formalized process, whose general pattern varies little from one setting to the next. Throughout a country, children arrive at school at approximately the same time, take assigned seats, are taught by an adult, use similar textbooks, do homework, take exams, and so on. The slices of reality that are to be learned, whether they are the alphabet or an understanding of the working of government, have usually been limited by the boundaries of the subject being taught. For example, high school students know that there not likely to find out in their classes the truth about political problems in their communities or what the newest filmmakers are experimenting with. There are definite conditions surrounding the formalized process of schooling。

The Language of Music
　　A painter hangs his or her finished pictures on a wall, and everyone can see it. A composer writes a work, but no one can hear it until it is performed. Professional singers and players have great responsibilities, for the composer is utterly dependent on them. A student of music needs as long and as arduous a training to become a performer as a medical student needs to become a doctor. Most training is concerned with technique, for musicians have to have the muscular proficiency of an athlete or a ballet dancer. Singers practice breathing every day, as their vocal chords would be inadequate without controlled muscular support. String players practice moving the fingers of the left hand up and down, while drawing the bow to and fro with the right arm-two entirely different movements.
　　Singers and instruments have to be able to get every note perfectly in tune. Pianists are spared this particular anxiety, for the notes are already there, waiting for them, and it is the piano tuner’s responsibility to tune the instrument for them. But they have their own difficulties; the hammers that hit the string have to be coaxed not to sound like percussion, and each overlapping tone has to sound clear.(Examda)
　　This problem of getting clear texture is one that confronts student conductors: they have to learn to know every note of the music and how it should sound, and they have to aim at controlling these sound with fanatical but selfless authority.
　　Technique is of no use unless it is combined with musical knowledge and understanding. Great artists are those who are so thoroughly at home in the language of music that they can enjoy performing works written in any century。

作者: scorpio    时间: 2009-2-4 10:26     标题: 家长要把握住大方向

家长们做的任何选择肯定都是为了孩子好，这一点不用质疑。我想说的是家长在做决定之前要自己首先有个判断标准，什么样的课外辅导班能提高孩子的实习能力，不能过分的相信什么考试技巧。所有技巧都是建立在实力的基础上的。TOEFL,SAT考试固然是有技巧存在，那就是所谓的熟悉提醒，了解考题的出题思路。剩下的就是练习练习再练习。我是不主张让孩子依赖于外界力量来准备考试，我主张首先让孩子在参加课外TOEFL、SAT辅导之前自己对考试有一些基本的了解，外面权威的TOEFL、SAT备考书很多，初级、模考、冲刺各个阶段书都有，先买一两本让孩子自己消化一下。但备考书籍还是不能随便乱买啊，要选有权威的。

Nice to hear a new voice here !  We welcome input to brainstorm here !

WHAT GRADE is your kid now?  If you dont mind ...

Most original SAT book on the market is OK to me , such as college board, princeton review, barron's , kaplans , grubers etc..   I cant say which one is the best.  But as you suggested,  kid should be able to finish at least 2 test prep books before going for SAT.   

TOEFL is far more easy compared with SAT english , so kids can prepare early to get this over.   Then go into SAT comprehension and vocab .    Training school outside is a short term push to run 100m.  But daily practice would be more beneficial on the long run .  

What is the benefit if you score perfect in test , but couldnt understand or participate conversation with American kids in class ?
