前言

这个文本内容全部选自托福真题TPO的听力部分，因有1135句，取名《托福听力1100句》。所有句子都配有音频，音频也截取自TPO音频，这些声音跟你在真正考试中听到的是同一批人的声音。每个句子还配有翻译。这是托福培训界以前没人做过的工作。

这1135个句子是如何选出来的？

我用词频统计的方法先确定了听力真题中出现频率最高的那些单词，然后一篇篇真题分析，去掉了那些对理解文章影响不大的单词，留下来的单词，或者能够帮助理解文章细节，或者是地道表达法，或者直接就是出题点。然后再根据这些遴选出来的核心词到文本中选择句子，1135个句子每个句子都包含一个核心词。但重点非单词而是句子。

这个文本的好处是：

1，句子多样。句子有长有短，短句子一般都是地道表达法，长句子包含了各个语法难点。尤其是长句子，假定听力的一个长句子在阅读材料中出现的话，我们并不觉得很难；但是在听力中出现，而且托福听力语速很快且只播放一遍，就变成了一个难点。很多学生以为背了词汇书就学会了托福，其实并非如此，把一个词汇放在一个句子里你发现还是不理解。托福听力的练习应该以句子为单位，句子才是你的瓶颈，是你迈不过去100分关口的原因之一。

比如第1130个句子就是个难点（选自TPO21 Lecture3）：

What separates colub rids from other snakes we‘ve been classifying as venomous, is not the lack of venom, but the lack of an effective way to deliver the venom into its prey.

2，核心词会重复出现。你没有掌握一个单词的原因一个是没有把一个单词放在具体语境下理解，另一个就是重复记忆的不够，这样的话如果一个单词分别在不同句子里反复出现了几

次，就能帮助你理解并记忆这个单词。比如crater这个核心词分别在第12、第58、第83、第156、第169、第907个句子中出现，就相当于这个词你复习了6遍，记住的可能性更大。3，常用的托福听力表达方式。比如托福考试中经常出现一些概念，出题者预设你并不熟悉这些概念，然后他会给出解释，这个概念本身并不重要，不认识也没有关系，但这种解释方式要熟悉。如precession这个概念，第1002个句子给的解释是：

Precession basically is the change in the direction of E arth‘s axis o f rotation.

这个概念出现在TPO17 lecture 2。

4，原汁原味。文本和音频都选自真题。

这1135个核心句子使用4步法训练，（建议先把文本打印出来），方法如下：

1 先听一遍文本，做听写，即尝试把听到的句子记住，然后填写到横线上：

_______________________________________________________________________________ 2 看所填句子核心单词的音标和汉语释义，背诵。如：

meteor [?mi:ti:?]

n.流星

3 再听一遍，对照翻译文本理解：

原句：W e‘d know whether the small craters were formed by impacts during the final stages of planetary formation, or if they resulted from later meteor showers.

翻译: 我们就会弄清楚这些小坑的形成究竟是源于行星形成最后阶段时的撞击，还是源于后来的流星雨的撞击。

4 最后，看着文本模仿音频读一遍。

之所以如此训练，原因如下：

听力必须声音先行。如果我们把听力的原文当作阅读给考生看，很多考生并不觉得很难，可

是当听的时候就是听不懂，那么就只有一个解释：考生对声音不熟悉。所以必须优先训练对声音的辨识度，这就是第1步要先听句子并尝试写下来的原因。

听不懂一个句子的其中一个原因是对句子的核心词汇不熟悉，这样我们就需要背诵核心词汇的释义，同时记忆这个单词的不同词性以及发音，这正是第2步所训练的。

第3步巩固对声音的熟悉，同时汉语意思能帮助我们对照理解。

第4个步骤是跟读模仿。每一个单词的发音如果我们能够读准确，这个单词在听力出现时我们都能很快辨识出来，因此跟读对听力帮助很大。而且跟读还练习了口语，一举两得。

在备考托福的开始阶段，建议先把这1135个句子搞定。每天搞定100个句子，可以根据自己的基础和备考时间调整，如果基础较弱，可以调整为每天50个句子。

本材料仅供私人学习交流使用，请勿用作商业用途。

在听音频时你可能感到序号读得声音有点奇怪，还有其它有些地方声音也有些奇怪，这是自己用手机录的加上的。序号前20个，“break time”以及“休息一下”是我不到两岁的女儿的声音，后面的是她妈妈的声音。音频中我们一家人的声音都有哈哈

好运！

老托精选93篇 听力原文.pdf

老托Part C精选93篇 1 Community service is an important component of education here at our university. We encourage all students to volunteer for at least one community activity before they graduate. A new community program called "One On One" helps elementary students who've fallen behind. You education majors might be especially interested in it because it offers the opportunity to do some teaching—that is, tutoring in math and English. You'd have to volunteer two hours a week for one semester. You can choose to help a child with math, English, or both. Half-hour lessons are fine, so you could do a half hour of each subject two days a week. Professor Dodge will act as a mentor to the tutors—he'll be available to help you with lesson plans or to offer suggestions for activities. He has office hours every Tuesday and Thursday afternoon. You can sign up for the program with him and begin the tutoring next week. I'm sure you'll enjoy this community service and you'll gain valuable experience at the same time. It looks good on your resume, too, showing that you've had experience with children and that you care about your community. If you'd like to sign up, or if you have any questions, stop by Professor Dodge's office this week. 【生词摘录】 https://www.wendangku.net/doc/e14059166.html,ponent: n.［C］one of several parts that together make up a whole machine or system （机器或系统的）零件；成分；组成部分 2.tutor: n.［C］someone who teaches one pupil or a small group, and is directly paid by them 家庭教师，私人教师 v. to teach someone as a tutor 给… 当家庭教师；指导 3.mentor: n.［C］an experienced person who advises and helps a less experienced person 顾问，指导人，教练

2020托福听力满分攻略

2020托福听力满分攻略 托福听力满分有没有可能?只要认真备考提升听力能力，托福听力拿满分是非常有可能的。今天小编给大家带来了托福听力满分攻略,希望能够帮助到大家，一起来学习吧。 托福听力满分攻略 三遍听写法听写练习 是指听写。将一篇听力录音中的原文全部听录下来，它是提高听力有效的方法。对于准备新托福考试的考生而言，比较好的听写材料是老托福的lecture。基础比较薄弱的学生，可以先花一个月的时间将新概念第二和第三册的美英版听写完，然后再来听写老托福的lecture。 创造全英语听力环境 是指“下意识的听力练习”。它是指为自己创造一个英文的环境，比如早晨一起床，我们就打开音箱播放英语，可以是托福的听力材料，可以是英文广播，也可以是一部英文电影等，这样做的好处是随时都可以听到英语，在潜移默化中不知不觉地加深对英语的敏感度。其实这点和泛听有点类似。 精听练习必不可少 是指精听。我们这里所说的“精听”步骤如下：一边听一边看原文，划出自己不认识或似曾相识但反应不过来的词;录音结束，开始查生词，写在原文的旁边，只要写出这个单词在这篇文章中的意思即可;将这篇材料当阅读文章快速精读一遍，彻底看懂;再一边看原文，一边放录音，嘴上要跟读，反复几遍，一直听到可以不看原文彻底听懂为止。精听材料有很多，推荐SSS(Scientific American’s Sixty-second Science)，它非常短，但信息量很大，更重要的是，它是新托福听力出题的重要来源。 多做延伸听力练习 是指高质量的泛听。泛听的“泛”并不指态度的懒散，而是针对整体的要求。我认为泛听的材料有两个：一个是National Geographic(国家地理频道)，另一个是Discovery(探索)。看的时候一定要有英文字幕。每天看，养成习惯，会有很大收获。虽然有些考生认为泛听没有效果，关键开始因人而异，找到适合考生自己的听力训练方法，自然事半功倍。

老托福听力93篇(87-88)-These days we take

老托福听力93篇(87-88)-These days we take 87 These days we take for granted the wide variety of music available on the radio. But, this wasn't always the case. In the early days of radio, stations were capable of broadcasting only a narrow range of sounds, which was all right for the human voice but music didn't sound very good. There was also a great deal of crackling and other static noises that further interfered with the quality of the sound. A man named Edwin Armstrong, who was a music lover, set out to change this. He invented FM radio, a technology that allowed stations to send a broad range of frequencies that greatly improved the quality of the music. Now, you'd think that this would have made him a millionaire; it didn't. Radio stations at that time had invested enormous amounts of money in the old technology. So the last thing they wanted was to invest millions more in the new technology. Nor did they want to have to compete with other radio stations that had a superior sound and could put them out of business. So they pressured the Federal Communications Commission, the department of the United States government that regulates radio stations, to put restrictive regulations on FM radio. The result was that its use was limited to a very small area around New England. Of course as we all know, Edwin Armstrong's FM technology eventually prevailed and was adopted by thousands of stations around the world. But this took years of court battles and he never saw how it came to affect the lives of almost everyone. 【生词摘录】 1. crackling: n. [C]爆裂声 2. static: adj. 静电的 3. FM: 调频(frequency modulation) 4. frequency: n. [C]频率 5. millionaire: n. [C]百万富翁，大富豪 6. restrictive: adj. 限制性的 7. regulation: n. 规则，规章 8. prevail: v. 流行，盛行，获胜，成功 9. adopt: v. 采用 88 I'm going to talk about a train that exemplifies the rise and fall of passenger trains in the United States: the Twentieth Century Limited. Let me go back just a bit. In 1893, a special train was established to take people from New York to an exposition in Chicago. It was so successful that regular service was then set up between these cities. The inaugural trip of the Twentieth Century Limited was made in 1902. The train was different from what anyone had ever seen before. It was pulled by a steam engine and had five cars: two sleepers, a dining car, an observation car, and a baggage car, which, believe it or not, contained a library. The 42 passengers the train could carry were waited on by a large staff. There were even secretaries and a barber on board. It wasn't long before people had to wait two years to get a reservation. As time passed, technical improvements shortened the trip by a few hours. Perhaps the biggest technological change occurred in 1945, the switch from steam to diesel engines. By the 1960's, people were traveling by car and airplane. Unfortunately, the great old train didn't survive until the end of the century it was named for. 【生词摘录】

托福听力备考4个基本要素

托福听力备考4个基本要素 托福听力中考生常会因为听不懂长难句而无法顺利解答题目，而长难句本身的高难度也会让许多同学头疼不已。下面就和大家分享托福听力备考4个基本要素，来欣赏一下吧。 托福听力备考4个基本要素 托福听力备考以“词”为首 “词”为四要素之首为，托福考试涉及艺术、生命科学、自然科学、社会科学四大学科，44个话题，考察学术环境下的听力能力，要求考生掌握8000左右词汇量，其中包括学科专有词汇。良好的词汇基础就是听力高分的必要因素。 那么不同年级的同学如何准备词汇呢?小学和初中阶段备考同学可以按照初中词汇、高中词汇、四级词汇、托福词汇的顺序进行准备，高中阶段的同学可以按照高中词汇、四级词汇、托福词汇的顺序备考，大学阶段的同学可以考虑从四级词汇或托福词汇开始备考。确定词汇记忆的范围后，我们还需要注意托福听力的词汇记忆不同于阅读的词汇记忆，虽然两者的范围相当，但记忆方法却截然不同。阅读讲究用“看”的方式来识词，而听力则要用听的方式。因此记单词的时候可以采取“看-听”同步的形式熟练生词发音，即时反应，尽量达到2秒内精准输出生词意思。

托福听力备考先“听”再“记” “听”，托福听力学习过程中，“听”先于“记”，同学们需要确保听懂听力的基础上，加强笔记。如何提升听的能力呢?我们可以采用泛听与精听结合的方式。泛听即广泛的听，用于培养英语语感，目的在于在听力练习中以掌握*的整体意思。因此，泛听并不要要求百分之百听懂听力材料中的所有细节,只求听懂大意。备考的同学可以选择自己喜欢的方式练习泛听，如看美剧、听英文歌、模仿英语演讲、听英文广播等。精听材料尽量选择官方真题Official或与考试学科、难度相近的资料。学习过程中需要进行精读、精听、模仿跟读、影子跟读、口述输出。 托福听力备考要合“理” “理”，这里指的是听力的逻辑规律。托福听力需要掌握一些基础的逻辑论证框架和出题规律，如问题-解决方案、举例论证、对比论证、因果论证、分类论证、反对-赞同等。 如官方真题Official27-L1体现论证体现事物的因果关系 Mangrove root systems have the ability to absorb and, well, trap sediments and pollutants in water that flow through them before they enter the ocean.This of course has beneficial results for the nearby coral reefs.

五大托福听力练习软件的简单介绍

五大托福听力练习软件的简单介绍 五大托福听力练习软件由易到难为langman, delta, Kaplan, barron，TPO，分别如下：托福模考软件之Langman Langman界面还好,但是题实在是太简单了。Kaplan软件做的很好,可以录音,口语还有范答,用起来也很顺手。它的阅读文章难度比较大,因为全是文科文章。比如历史文化地理什么的,很适合理科生折磨自己,不过题不难。听力语速长度都还好吧,题简单。因此考生可以根据自己的实际英语水平，决定是否需要联系练习，或者是作为初练。 托福模考软件之delta 托福delta分为蓝和红两本书，据说题目丰富，难度比较适宜，适合考生作为前期的强化训练用。 托福模考软件之Kaplan 目前Kaplan 系列有2个版本，2008版和2009新版，但是，通过使用2本书作为参考后发现，这两本书在模考方面没有大的更新，和在网络上流传的版本是一模一样的。同时，该模考软件的阅读部分有乱码，听力部分比正常考试时间显得要短一些，而且无法通过打开光盘进行重听题目。口语部分的第1、2题出的和考试基本接近，但是在第四题的时候，reading 里的专业概念和具体的例子关联性不大，和考试有一定偏差。并且听力的第5题有时听起来过于啰嗦，第六题比较接近真实考试。写作部分的综合写作和考试的相似性不大。该书建议有时间就做，没时间可以放弃。 托福模考软件之barron Barron是最难的,而且带加试。听力加个加试就是1个半小时,阅读更长。barron难主要体现在它的长度上,阅读还好,听力比较难,有的lecture到10分钟了都。不过题不是很难。

托福模考软件之TPO TPO界面和真正考试是一样的,题比较简单，但针对性较强，听力、写作、阅读、口语每部分都要好好利用。其中流传于这样的一句话，TPO在手，托福考试不怕，虽然有点夸张，但是其重要性还是可见一斑。大家常用的TPO网站有TPO小站，但需要下载，还有些BUG。有一个托福备考的网站叫托福考满分，可以在线进行TPO练习和精听，无需下载。练习的时候可以先做完题目，然后使用“精听全文”功能，吃透整篇文章。精听还可以使用1.5倍数练习，精听练习是熟悉托福听力文章结构与考点很好的练习办法，这里不多说了，大家可以上网找找相关的练习技巧。老托Part C和SSS也挺全的。缺点是不能装在手机上使用，如果出手机版就更赞了。 以上就是五大托福听力练习软件的简单介绍了，介绍中有一些个人主观因素在内，仅供大家参考。因此要想客观的了解这些软件的实际利弊，还需要考生自身去实践才能得出适合自己的结论。 水军回复：

老托福听力93篇(45-46)-So, why did what is now

老托福听力93篇(45-46)-So, why did what is now 45 So, why did what is now called "modern dance" begin in the United States? To begin to answer this question, I'll need to backtrack a little bit and talk about classical ballet. By the late 1800's, ballet had lost a lot of its popularity. Most of the ballet dancers who performed in the United States were brought over from Europe. They performed using the rigid techniques that had been passed down through the centuries. Audiences and dancers in the United States were eager for their own, "contemporary" dance form. And, so, around 1900, dancers created one. So, how was this "modern" dance so different from classical ballet? Well, most notably, it wasn't carefully choreographed. Instead, the dance depended on the improvisation and free, personal expression of the dancers. Music and scenery were of little importance to the "modern" dance, and lightness of movement wasn't important either. In fact, modern dancers made no attempt at all to conceal the effort involved in a dance step. But even if improvisation appealed to audiences, many dance critics were less than enthusiastic about the performances. They questioned the artistic integrity of dancers who were not professionally trained and the artistic value of works that had no formal structure. Loie Fuller, after performing Fire Dance, was described as doing little more than turning "round and round like an eggbeater." Yet, the free, personal expression of the pioneer dancers is the basis of the "controlled freedom" of modern dance today. 【生词摘录】 1. backtrack: v. (由原路)返回，后退 2. ballet: n. [C]芭蕾舞 3. rigid: adj. 严格的 4. contemporary: adj. 当代的 5. choreograph: v. 设计舞蹈动作，精心编排 6. improvisation: n. 即席创作 7. scenery: n. 舞台布景 8. lightness: n. 轻盈，灵活 9. conceal: v. 隐藏 10. eggbeater: n. [C]打蛋器 11. pioneer: adj. 先驱，创始人 12. controlled freedom: 克制的自由 46 Today I want to discuss fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and natural gas. The term "fossil fuel" refers to the trapped remains of plants and animals in sedimentary rock. You see, living plants trap energy from the sun by the process of photosynthesis, and they store the energy in their chemical compounds. Most of that energy is released when the plant dies and decays. However, sometimes organic matter is buried before it decays completely. In this way some of the solar energy becomes trapped in rocks, hence the name fossil fuel. Although the amount of organic matter trapped in any one growing season is small, the accumulated remains from millions of years are considerable. Because the accumulation rate is so slow, millions of times slower than the rate at which we now dig up this organic matter and

托福听力TPO1原文 Lecture 4

下面就让小编来为大家介绍一下托福听力TPO1原文中Lecture 4的文本内容吧，大 家要好好把握，这些都是非常有价值的材料，希望能够给准备托福听力的同学带来帮助。 TPO 1 Lecture 4BiologyNarratorListen to part of a lecture in a biology class. ProfessorFor today’s discussion, we’ll review the case study on how some animals have behaviorally adapted to their environments. Now you had to read about two animal species, the Eastern marmot and the Olympic marmot. Marmots are rodents. They are large ground squirrels, about the size of an average house cat. And they live in a variety of habitats. And even though they spend the significant portion of the year hibernating, according to this case study, marmots are still considered excellent subjects for animal behavioral studies. Why is that? StudentWell, when they are not hibernating, you can find them in open areas. And they are pretty active during the day, which makes them easy to observe, right? ProfessorUh-huh, so first let’s discuss the Eastern marmots. They reside throughout the eastern region of North America where there is a temperate climate, where the growing season lasts for at least five months of the year, which is when they do all their mating, playing and eating. StudentOh, I see. At first I wasn’t sure what growing season meant, just from the reading. But now I get it. It's the amount of time it takes for them to grow, right? So it would be five months? ProfessorUmm? Oh, uh… I’m sorry but no. It has nothing to do with that. It's not about the time it takes for Eastern marmots to grow. It’s when the food is available. That is when it’s not covered in snow and there is no frost covering the grass and, umm, vegetative parts of a plant’s herbs and the flowers the marmots like to eat. So growing season refers to the availability of the food they eat, OK? So now how would you describe the Eastern marmots’ social habits? StudentWell, they are really territorial, and loners, and just so aggressive even with other Eastern marmots. And their mating ritual is just so impersonal. ProfessorUh-huh? Now when they emerge in the spring from hibernation, the mating process begins. For them, well, they come together to mate and then they
