托福首戰(zhàn)直擊108分
作為有著美國留學(xué)夢的中國學(xué)生,像經(jīng)歷高考一樣,也要經(jīng)歷托??荚嚨南炊Y。今天小編給大家?guī)硗懈J讘?zhàn)直擊108分,希望能夠幫助到大家,下面小編就和大家分享,來欣賞一下吧。
【高分經(jīng)驗(yàn)】首戰(zhàn)直擊108分 托福備考之凡人修仙傳
在托福之前,對(duì)于英語學(xué)習(xí)來說,我只能說是個(gè)凡夫俗子了。四級(jí)526,六級(jí)430低空飛過,考托福也是大二即將結(jié)束時(shí)的突發(fā)奇想,在這之前英語現(xiàn)已曠費(fèi)一陣子了。哦,先說一下我的托??荚嚦煽儼?,28+27+29+24=108。一戰(zhàn)托福,就能沖到這個(gè)成績我自己感覺已經(jīng)是不錯(cuò)了,也算是在一路的備考之路上修得圓滿了。哈哈,下面就為大家詳細(xì)說說我的備考要點(diǎn)吧。
先說閱讀,在閱讀備考的時(shí)候,我們總結(jié)下來要害點(diǎn)2個(gè):語感和詞匯。而至于語感這個(gè)問題上,可能是要涉及到很多方面了,不是一句兩句可以說的清楚的。我們還是主要來說說閱讀中詞匯的實(shí)際操作吧。就我的經(jīng)歷來說,按字頭背單詞對(duì)比單調(diào),很簡略就墮入一種疲勞重復(fù)的狀況,因而我其時(shí)是每個(gè)字頭背十個(gè),以此循環(huán)的方法,這種方法盡管比按字頭背好不到哪兒去,但至少對(duì)比不易疲勞。還有在閱讀練習(xí)中,你就不難發(fā)現(xiàn),其中很多專業(yè)單詞真的是百年一遇,見到有個(gè)形象就好,沒必要逼自個(gè)一個(gè)字母一個(gè)字母的背出來。當(dāng)然這只是個(gè)人的一個(gè)經(jīng)驗(yàn),大家還是可以自己去體會(huì)一下的。
聽力的備考大家都說到聽寫,不過也算是有點(diǎn)優(yōu)勢吧,高中學(xué)英語就練過voa special English,雖然,對(duì)比現(xiàn)在的材料,語速是有點(diǎn)慢,不過還是可以讓我很快適應(yīng)了聽力的練習(xí)。
說到口語的練習(xí),那還談到我的一點(diǎn)優(yōu)點(diǎn):臉皮比較厚,呵呵。其實(shí),在托??谡Z備考的時(shí)候,大家都會(huì)集中精力在準(zhǔn)備段子,矯正讀音等等問題,當(dāng)然這也不是不對(duì)。不過,我總是認(rèn)為,想要最快的提升自己的口語表達(dá)能力,那就找個(gè)盡量找個(gè)外國人聊聊,在這時(shí)候,他能幫你最快的糾正讀音問題,chinglish的錯(cuò)誤等等,比自己單一的糾錯(cuò)要提高很多效率了??傊痪湓挘悍砰_膽子,說去吧。
而說到寫作的問題中,感覺就是自己的短板問題了。因?yàn)?,之前的四六?jí)寫作就沒有寫的很好。而在托福寫作備考中,就感覺難度更大了,而其中,另外的一個(gè)難題就是,打字速度啊。其實(shí),這也沒什么多少的,多練打字,多被模板,寫好開頭。
反正,對(duì)于想我這樣的一個(gè)普通備考學(xué)生來說,首站能沖到到108分,我已經(jīng)是非常滿意了,也希望我們的經(jīng)驗(yàn)?zāi)転榇蠹业膫淇紟硪恍椭丁?/p>
托福閱讀真題原題+題目
Researchers in the field of psychology have found that one of the best ways to make an important decision, such as choosing a university to attend or a business to invest in, involves the utilization of a decision worksheet. Psychologists who study optimization compare the actual decisions made by people to theoretical ideal decisions to see how similar they are. Proponents of the worksheet procedure believe that it will yield optimal, that is, the best decisions. Although there are several variations on the exact format that worksheets can take, they are all similar in their essential aspects. Worksheets require defining the problem in a clear and concise way and then listing all possible solutions to the problem. Next, the pertinent considerations that will be affected by each decision are listed, and the relative importance of each consideration or consequence is determined. Each consideration is assigned a numerical value to reflect its relative importance. A decision is mathematically calculated by adding these values together. The alternative with the highest number of points emerges as the best decision.
Since most important problems are multifaceted, there are several alternatives to choose from, each with unique advantages and disadvantages. One of the benefits of a pencil and paper decision-making procedure is that it permits people to deal with more variables than their minds can generally comprehend and remember. On the average, people can keep about seven ideas in their minds at once. A worksheet can be especially useful when the decision involves a large number of variables with complex relationships. A realistic example for many college students is the question What will I do after graduation? A graduate might seek a position that offers specialized training, pursue an advanced degree, or travel abroad for a year.
A decision-making worksheet begins with a succinct statement of the problem that will also help to narrow it. It is important to be clear about the distinction between long-range and immediate goals because long-range goals often involve a different decision than short-range ones. Focusing on long-range goals, a graduating student might revise the question above to What will I do after graduation that will lead to successful career?

托福閱讀真題原題+題目
Matching the influx of foreign immigrants into the larger cities of the United States during the late nineteenth century was a domestic migration, from town and farm to city, within the United States. The country had been overwhelmingly rural at the beginning of the century, with less than 5 percent of Americans living in large towns or cities. The proportion of urban population began to grow remarkably after 1840, increasing from 11 percent that year to 28 percent by 1880 and to 46 percent by 1900. A country with only 6 cities boasting a population of more than 8,000 in 1800 had become one with 545 such cities in 1900. Of these, 26 had a population of more than 100,000 including 3 that held more than a million people. Much of the migration producing an urban society came from smaller towns within the United States, but the combination of new immigrants and old American settlers on America's urban frontier in the late nineteenth century proved extraordinary.
The growth of cities and the process of industrialization fed on each other. The agricultural revolution stimulated many in the countryside to seek a new life in the city and made it possible for fewer farmers to feed the large concentrations of people needed to provide a workforce for growing numbers of factories. Cities also provided ready and convenient markets for the products of industry, and huge contracts in transportation and construction — as well as the expanded market in consumer goods — allowed continued growth of the urban sector of the overall economy of the Untied States.
Technological developments further stimulated the process of urbanization. One example is the Bessemer converter (an industrial process for manufacturing steel), which provided steel girders for the construction of skyscrapers. The refining of crude oil into kerosene, and later the development of electric lighting as well as of the telephone, brought additional comforts to urban areas that were unavailable to rural Americans and helped attract many of them from the farms into the cities. In every era the lure of the city included a major psychological element for country people: the bustle and social interaction of urban life seemed particularly intriguing to those raised in rural isolation.
