托福閱讀篇:
托??荚嚫母镏?,我們發(fā)現(xiàn)閱讀部分仍然延續(xù)多套題拼盤的出題特點,套題數(shù)量有所增加,整體的難度上基本保持不變。文章題材上生物占比比較多,也有一些天文,藝術(shù)類文章。段落長度增加,加試文章依然較難,建議學(xué)生利用好TPO的題目去夯實自己的閱讀基本功。很多文章是重復(fù)近幾年考過的文章,特別是16-19年的題目,建議考生可以利用機經(jīng)回憶了解考題背景知識。
例如:剛剛結(jié)束的9月21日的托??荚?,閱讀第一篇文章介紹了珊瑚礁的產(chǎn)生緣由,完全重復(fù)了2016年6月25日的托福閱讀文章The Origin of Coral Reefs;
又如9月22日的托??荚囍?,其中有一篇文章介紹了歐洲的農(nóng)業(yè)發(fā)展,重復(fù)了2017年12月9日的托福閱讀文章,也與TPO23-2 Seventeenth-Century Dutch Agriculture講解的內(nèi)容非常類似。
所以我們預(yù)測,在接下來10月份的托??荚囍?,托福閱讀部分的考察內(nèi)容仍然以自然科學(xué)類(尤其是生物地質(zhì)類)為主,穿插人文科學(xué)類(文學(xué),歷史類文章)和社會科學(xué)類(人類學(xué)等)。近期練習(xí)中,除了以TPO里面的相關(guān)文章精讀分析之外,還建議考生能把最近出現(xiàn)的詞匯題認真背誦,配合北美考試院內(nèi)部歷年真題文章匯總的精讀練習(xí),讓自己的備考更加有針對性。

托福聽力篇:
9月份考試聽力部分均以多套套題組合的形式出現(xiàn),且有加試。聽力考試難度還是相對比較穩(wěn)定的,但是存在其中一些話題的講座專業(yè)性高,理解難度大。因此,從整體形式看,考試對考生不僅是基礎(chǔ),包括學(xué)科專業(yè)詞匯的要求均有提高。
最近參加托??荚嚨膶W(xué)員,確實越來越多的人反映,說“托福聽力難度提升了”,那這個感覺是如何產(chǎn)生的呢?
其實,托福聽力的難度一直居高不下。與2017-2018年相比,2019年 的考試一次會有 3-4套題目,這四套題目中的難度不是完全平均的,而且總體的難度都不低,體現(xiàn)在三個方面:
1. 題材:比如學(xué)生場景詞不足會覺得微生物題材比哺乳動物題材難
2. 出題層次不是按照常規(guī)套路:會有一些反規(guī)律或沒有明顯考點提示詞的題目,對于考點預(yù)判制造很大難度,對于分層不熟練的同學(xué)經(jīng)常感覺摸不到頭緒;
3. 選項出的非常 “繞”:也就是混淆度很高,沒有對于題目非常熟悉,沒有經(jīng)過嚴格培訓(xùn),很容易落入出題人的圈套。
所以想要托福聽力立于不敗之地,還是要夯實基礎(chǔ),跟著優(yōu)秀的老師,學(xué)習(xí)方法,加強精聽訓(xùn)練,系統(tǒng)掌握才能立于不敗之地。
在lecture的考察中,主題仍然以生物類和藝術(shù)類篇章為主,這兩類主題的文章在9月份整個的托福聽力考試中占比達到50%以上,所以這兩類話題一定要作為我們接下來備考托福聽力的重點。除此之外,同學(xué)們普遍反映比較難的一些篇章,例如天文類,考古類文章等,基本也都會出現(xiàn)在每次的托福考試當中,所以建議同學(xué)們在平時練習(xí)中針對這種學(xué)科的lecture進行分類專項練習(xí)。
綜上所述,針對10月備考托福的學(xué)員來說,建議有兩點:
1. 夯實基礎(chǔ),加強精聽訓(xùn)練;
2. 針對較難學(xué)科(例如天文學(xué),考古學(xué)等)進行專項訓(xùn)練。
托福口語篇:
自從8月10日托??荚嚫母镆詠?,托??谡Z的難度總體變化不大,所以備考方法上對于同學(xué)們的影響也不大,近期獨立題經(jīng)常重復(fù)出的以前的題庫,綜合口語部分也基本都是??荚掝},最經(jīng)典的生物學(xué)和心理學(xué),基本很少涉及很難的詞匯和很偏僻的話題。
附:2019年10月托??谡Z獨立題大范圍機經(jīng)預(yù)測
1. Some people think historical sites should be open to the general public, but some people think historical sites should only be open to experts and researchers. Which do you think it better.
2. Nowadays, lots of students have already buy their own computer, do you think it is good for university to offer campus-own computers?
3. Agree or disagree: We should always tell our parents and friends where we are and what we are doing?
4. Some schools decide to cancel winter and summer breaks so that children can stay in school all year round. Do you think this is a good idea or not?
5. Do you agree or disagree that students would learn more if the teachers assign them with more schoolwork?
6. Some people like to purchase a product they like as soon as the product is available in the market, some however, prefer to wait until the price of the product becomes more accessible. Which way do you prefer?
7. What is your opinion on the following statement: students should be allowed to take snacks and beverage into classrooms?

托福寫作篇:
在9月的托??荚嚜毩懽髦?,我們最關(guān)注的的教育類話題占比很少,取而代之的是對于生活類,工作類以及政府環(huán)境類的考察。例如在剛剛結(jié)束的9月22日托??荚嚠斨?,獨立寫作題目考察了關(guān)于環(huán)境保護以及政府政策的舊題(重復(fù)2015年12月12日)
例:
Some companies provide important products or service, but also damage environment. Some people believe that government should require more penalty, higher tax and larger fine of these companies, while others believe there are better ways. Which do you prefer?
這道題可以從如何保護環(huán)境,尤其是減少工業(yè)污染角度思考。當然,提高懲罰和稅收可以在某種程度上減少工業(yè)污染,但是,這不一定有效,因為企業(yè)可以有很多其他方法轉(zhuǎn)移成本。此外,其他方法,比如開發(fā)新技術(shù)提高能源利用率,開發(fā)新能源,提高企業(yè)主保護環(huán)境的意識等也可以很好地解決這個問題,因此,我們可以寫成如下三個主體段:
第一個主體段:這項政策看上去有效,但實際上沒有效果。
第二個主體段:開發(fā)新技術(shù)更好。
第三個主體段:推動“環(huán)保標志”產(chǎn)品發(fā)展更好
而9月1日的托福寫作獨立題:Nowadays it is easier to maintain good health than it was in the past.有關(guān)生活類話題的考察,也是重復(fù)了2017年8月26日的托??荚嚜毩懽黝}目。
這里我們特別重點關(guān)注一下9月21日的托福考試獨立寫作題目,Should spend money to build a garden for everyone in the town or a sports field for a high school?這個政府類話題分別在重復(fù)2013.12.20/ 2012.9.8/ 2011.3.11的托福考試中出現(xiàn)了3次,所以我們也不難發(fā)現(xiàn),托福獨立寫作題目也會不斷的出現(xiàn)舊題,這更加體現(xiàn)出了考前刷機經(jīng)的重要性。
