上海新东方专家揭秘新托福听力—上
ETS主办的托福测验匀称每十年酝酿一次年夜型变革。继1995年8月的托福变脸之后，2005年9月新托福测验又将在全球范围内实施，它模仿北美校园的真实说话情况，将听、说、读、写四部分无机连系在一同，片面考察考生的说话程度宁相同技能手腕。可见，新托福测验已经不但仅是一项简朴的进学测试了。新托福在测验形式上有清楚变革，重要表现在以下四个方面：
1、答题体例年夜不合新托福气离纸笔形式，接纳计算机化测验。包管每个考生拥有团体化应试情况，每人一个小隔间，一台电脑和一副耳机，不受内在身分烦扰，并且考生可以在听力中做条记，匡助影象细节。
2、答题界面年夜不合新托福窜改旧托福一味逼迫考生地道用耳朵接受信息，用眼睛扫描选项的笼统界面，代之以年夜量相干图片共同声响材料，活化题目场景，增强考生的了解程度。例如下面这幅图片清楚表明是一位传给与一个女生在办公室里的一段对话：
3、答题法式年夜不合新托福因为接纳机考形式，听完整篇文章之前是无法预读和扫描任何题目或选项的，只能墨守成规经由历程先听、后读、再选的法式答题。
4、考察题型年夜不合新托福除单选题以外加进多选题，另有图表题、长短题、排序题等别的诸多新题型，以加年夜对主不雅观题的考察。
5、听力内容“五年夜转变”从内容上看，旧托福的听力由三部分组成。Section A包括30个短对话， Section B和Section C分别由两个长对话和三个讲堂教学段落组成，每段长度不会跨越3分钟。三部分加起来共50个题目，每题1—2分，共68分。题目之间隔断12秒，整个听力部分用时30到35分钟。新托福则年夜不合。重要表现在以下五个方面：
1）、考察内容有偏重。新托福的考察内容比拟旧托福更偏重学术说话情况。说话素材重要会合在国际门生每每在北美留学时选择的商务、教诲、人文、工程、天然迷信和社会钻研等六年夜学科上，但不要求考生有特另外团体专业背景。其题型计划便是要使通俗门生可以听、说，可以了解各种学术话题。话题的难度和年夜门生在校园糊口中所碰到的各种说话情况相称。
2）、构造构造年夜不合。新托福的听力部分打消了对短对话的考察，代之以两篇长对话和四篇讲堂长段落，因此在很年夜程度上淡化了做题本领，更加注意对听气力力的考察。好比下面这段长对话就不能用简朴的场景和题型本领加以应对。
Eg： Listen to part of a conversation between a student and a professor.
Student：Hi, Professor Johnson.
Professor：Hi, Anna. What can I do for you?
Student：Remember, I e-mailed you about getting the handouts from the class I missed the other day, and you said I could stop by and pick them up today.
Professor： Oh, that’s right. You know, that’s the fourth class you’ve missed this semester, and that’s not doing your grade any good. I assume you had a good reason for being out...
Student： I know, I really hated to miss another class, but I had the flu, and I could hardly get out of bed. That’ll be the last class I miss, though. I promise.
Professor：[ accepting her promise] Okay... [sincerely] So how are you feeling now—are you all recovered?
Student：Well, I’m still not quite a hundred per cent, but I’m feeling much better than I did a few days ago.
Professor： Well, that’s good. Okay, uh… [regaining train of thought] oh yes, the handouts. There were three of them, and I’ll get those for you in just a minute. They’re pretty self-explanatory, but if you have any questions, just send me an e-mail. But...
Student： [interrupting] Okay, thank you.
Professor： Sure. Uh, but we also watched a video, and we’ll be having an essay question about it on the next exam, so, [searching for a solution] uh… [thinking] Hmmm…Do you have a VCR at home?
Student： Actually, I don’t, but I do have access to one.
Professor： Okay…Well I can lend it you, but the only thing is, you’d have to watch it tonight and get it back to me early tomorrow, because I’m going to be showing it in the other section of that class tomorrow afternoon.
Student： That’d be great.
Professor： But you realLy have to get it back to me tomorrow before my class.
Student： No problem. I can drop it off first thing in the morning if you’d like.
Professor： Okay... [changing his mind]You know what? How about if we do it this way. I’ll keep it for now and show it in my class tomorrow, and uh then you can drop by here and pick it up on Friday morning and keep it for the whole weekend, and just bring it with you when you come to class next week. How does that sound? Uh then you’ll have a couple of days to watch it, and you won’t have to worry about getting it back here tomorrow. Student： [checking her schedule in her mind] Let’s see, Friday morning... [turning happy when she realizes she can do it] Yeah, that’ll work. Professor： Excellent. I’ll be here from about ten to eleven thirty. Student：[leaving]Great. I’ll see you then. Professor：Uh, just a second. Let me get you those handouts.Student：Oh, yeah. Thank you. 3）、篇幅长度年夜不合。新托福的长对话和讲堂演讲的时候都不合程度的增加，匀称在4-6分钟阁下，细节较多，随便忘失落，并且语速为normal speed，到达外乡话，每分钟140-220个字节。很清楚，这意味着新托福对考生在耐力、了解力和反响反应速度方面提出了更为严苛的要求。
4）、题目数量年夜不合。新托福的长对话和讲堂演讲匀称每篇计划5到6个题目，加起来共34道题，每道试题1－2分，共34－36分。新托福的题目数量是旧托福的一半，测验时候却到达50分钟阁下，为旧托福的两倍，清楚申明题目的含金量进一步加年夜。
5）、脚色数量年夜不合。新托福的段落中有一位传给与多个门生对话的气象，这要比旧托福一对一的对话形式更易惹起脚色混同和误听。
由此可见，新托福的听力给考生带来了庞年夜的挑衅。不但仅是听力，综合新托福的听力、阅读、写作和白话四年夜部分来看，除阅读之外，写作和白话部分对考生听力程度的要求也是亘古未有的，在这两部分的考察中，考生不但需要听懂指定的整段对话或讲堂演讲，并且需要在此基础上了解、回纳整段对话或讲堂演讲的中央思惟和论证思绪，并与所阅读的文章的中央思惟和论证思绪疏浚领悟领悟后再回答题目。可想而知，如果我们开始就听不懂，那么无论是写作题照旧面试题都将无从动手。所以我们确燃眉之急便是在团体上掌握和认识新托福的基础之上，实在提高本身的听力程度，而不是一味追求所谓的“测验本领”。
