2024年12月8日的托福考试已经成为回忆,新东方在线SAT考试网为大家整理了此次考试的托福口语机经,让我们一起来回顾和分析这次的口语考查内容。
TASK 1
Some people think that because of changes in technology, such as the Internet and electronic books, libraries will no longer be needed in the future. Others think that libraries will always be necessary. Which view do you agree with?
Sample Answer
Well, I agree that libraries will eventually disappear.
The primary reason is that electronic books are far more convenient and portable than printed books. What I mean is that they can even fit inside your pocket. For instance, during my daily commute from home to school, I often make use of the time spent on the subway to read books with my iPhone or Kindle. Electronic books is a convenient way for me to escape the hustle and bustle of the city life.
In addition, the storage of paper books in libraries add cost to the government. I mean, thousands of brittle books and fragile documents will be damaged, if not completely decomposed, if they’re not properly stored. So digital storage is definitely a better option.
TASK 2
阅读
Reading(Article):Student Art Gallery at Maxwell Library Closing(麦克斯韦图书馆学生艺术展览厅将关闭)
Reason 1: 由于图书馆收到的大额捐款需要扩充书籍藏量,图书馆需要重新考虑布局,因此现有的三楼学生艺术展览厅将关闭。(There’s nowhere to put the new books; )
Reason 2:虽然展览厅关闭,但学生的画作和照片将被重新安排在图书馆的其他墙面上,以继续供人欣赏。(Display students’ art works on different wall through out the library)
听力
Conversation:Woman Disagrees
(W: Yeah, an unfortunate change if you ask me, I don't think it's necessary actually.)
Reason 1: 因为现在有一些empty study rooms where the library can put books in; 同时,也可以把一些书digitize,腾地方。
Reason 2: 学生作品展示的地方really matters, 因为挂在别处no one can see them. 同时,在library里面hold receptions can be a nice way to honor the artists.
TASK 3
阅读
Reading: Holiday Paradox(假期悖论)
定义:假期悖论指的是人们在进行新奇活动时感觉时间流逝很快,但回忆起来却觉得时间过得较长。(Afterward, however, when they remember the activity, it may seem like they spent a longer time engaged in it.)
听力
Lecture: Psychology(心理学)
例子:Professor himself
教授久前和妻子去意大利旅行。第一天,他们在导游的带领下游览了罗马,看了很多城市著名的景点。这一天他们去了很多地方,体验新事物。每一处都是陌生的、令人惊叹和不同的风景。他们在意大利的第一天过得非常快。然而几个月后回忆起那天所看到和做的一切,他们意识到那一切都发生在同一天。感觉那一天至少持续了三四天。
TASK 4
Lecture题材:Biology(生物学)
主题: 2 ways that parent animals protect their young from predators. (两种父母动物保护幼崽免受捕食者侵害的方法)
Subtopic 1: 父母动物会把幼崽放置在它们可以通过但捕食者不能通过的物理障碍的另一侧——这样可以减少捕食风险并保护幼崽。
例子: Seagulls(海鸥)
海鸥生活在沿海地区,它们可能飞到小岛上准备孵化幼鸟。由于大多数捕食者无法游泳或飞越海洋到达这些小岛,幼海鸥可以安全地待在岛上。
Subtopic 2: 一些动物会迁移到环境条件严酷的地方以避免捕食者,因为捕食者无法在这种环境中生存。——当幼崽不再那么脆弱时,它们会返回到正常的生活环境。
例子: Penguins(企鹅)
企鹅会去南极洲最寒冷的地方产卵,因为那里没有食物,大多数捕食者无法生存,而幼企鹅可以生存下来,因为父母企鹅可以出去为它们带回食物。
