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(diǎn),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(zhǎng)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(shí)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(jī)經(jīng)回憶了解考題背景知識(shí)。
例如:剛剛結(jié)束的9月21日的托福考試,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(cè),在接下來10月份的托??荚囍校懈i喿x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(huì)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(rèn)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(duì)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(duì)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(duì)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。
最近參加托福考試的學(xué)員,確實(shí)越來越多的人反映,說“托福聽力難度提升了”,那這個(gè)感覺是如何產(chǎn)生的呢?
其實(shí),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(huì)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(gè)方面:
1. 題材:比如學(xué)生場(chǎng)景詞不足會(huì)覺得微生物題材比哺乳動(dòng)物題材難
2. 出題層次不是按照常規(guī)套路:會(huì)有一些反規(guī)律或沒有明顯考點(diǎn)提示詞的題目,對(duì)于考點(diǎn)預(yù)判制造很大難度,對(duì)于分層不熟練的同學(xué)經(jīng)常感覺摸不到頭緒;
3. 選項(xiàng)出的非常 “繞”:也就是混淆度很高,沒有對(duì)于題目非常熟悉,沒有經(jīng)過嚴(yán)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(shí)基礎(chǔ),跟著優(yōu)秀的老師,學(xué)習(xí)方法,加強(qiáng)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(gè)的托福聽力考試中占比達(dá)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(diǎn)。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(huì)出現(xiàn)在每次的托福考試當(dāng)中,所以建議同學(xué)們?cè)谄綍r(shí)練習(xí)中針對(duì)這種學(xué)科的lecture進(jìn)行分類專項(xiàng)練習(xí)。
綜上所述,針對(duì)10月備考托福的學(xué)員來說,建議有兩點(diǎn):
1. 夯實(shí)基礎(chǔ),加強(qiáng)精聽訓(xùn)練;
2. 針對(duì)較難學(xué)科(例如天文學(xué),考古學(xué)等)進(jìn)行專項(xiàng)訓(xùn)練。
托??谡Z(yǔ)篇:
自從8月10日托福考試改革以來,托福口語(yǔ)的難度總體變化不大,所以備考方法上對(duì)于同學(xué)們的影響也不大,近期獨(dú)立題經(jīng)常重復(fù)出的以前的題庫(kù),綜合口語(yǔ)部分也基本都是常考話題,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(yǔ)獨(dú)立題大范圍機(jī)經(jīng)預(yù)測(cè)
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?
8. When meeting problems in daily life, some like to solve it in a serious way while others tend to deal with these setbacks in a humorous way. Which way do you think is better? Give your explanations in your response.
9. If the following two things overlap with each other, which would you prefer: dinner together with your family or attend your friends’ party on the weekend?
10. Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? The most important element of a successful school is experienced teachers.
托福寫作篇:
在9月的托??荚嚜?dú)立寫作中,我們最關(guān)注的的教育類話題占比很少,取而代之的是對(duì)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日托福考試當(dāng)中,獨(dú)立寫作題目考察了關(guān)于環(huán)境保護(hù)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(hù)環(huán)境,尤其是減少工業(yè)污染角度思考。當(dāng)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?yàn)槠髽I(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(hù)環(huán)境的意識(shí)等也可以很好地解決這個(gè)問題,因此,我們可以寫成如下三個(gè)主體段:
第一個(gè)主體段:這項(xiàng)政策看上去有效,但實(shí)際上沒有效果。
第二個(gè)主體段:開發(fā)新技術(shù)更好。
第三個(gè)主體段:推動(dòng)“環(huán)保標(biāo)志”產(chǎn)品發(fā)展更好
而9月1日的托福寫作獨(dú)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?dú)立寫作題目。
這里我們特別重點(diǎn)關(guān)注一下9月21日的托??荚嚜?dú)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(gè)政府類話題分別在重復(fù)2013.12.20/ 2012.9.8/ 2011.3.11的托??荚囍谐霈F(xiàn)了3次,所以我們也不難發(fā)現(xiàn),托福獨(dú)立寫作題目也會(huì)不斷的出現(xiàn)舊題,這更加體現(xiàn)出了考前刷機(jī)經(jīng)的重要性。
附:2019年10月托福寫作獨(dú)立題大范圍機(jī)經(jīng)預(yù)測(cè)

托??荚嚨攸c(diǎn)有北京、重慶、福建、上海、成都等城市。不同的城市托??荚嚨木唧w地點(diǎn)也會(huì)有不同,比如北京考試場(chǎng)點(diǎn)相對(duì)較多,有北京語(yǔ)言大學(xué)、北京航空航天大學(xué)、北京大學(xué)等等。您可以查詢您所在地的托??荚噲?chǎng)點(diǎn)。
托??荚嚨脑敿?xì)流程:
9:00-10:00,閱讀(或許有加試)。閱讀先考,閱讀往往是由3篇文章組成的,它的難度系數(shù)大概是3、3、4。一旦遇到托福加試的話,那么60分鐘會(huì)拖長(zhǎng)到80分鐘,3篇文章同樣會(huì)加到4篇文章。加文章全部都是隨機(jī)呈現(xiàn)的,有或許會(huì)是一篇,也有或許會(huì)是二篇。
10:00-11:30,聽力(很或許有加試)。托福聽力一般都是由3組托福聽力組成的(每組為1個(gè)對(duì)話+2個(gè)講座,其中組為加試),至于聽力加試,聽力中加試非常普遍的。
11:30-11:40,休息。在此期間考生能夠去吃些東西、去衛(wèi)生間。
11:40-12:00,口語(yǔ)。口語(yǔ)則是由6篇組成的,分別有2道獨(dú)立口語(yǔ)和4道綜合口語(yǔ)。
獨(dú)立口語(yǔ)往往需要同學(xué)們?cè)?5秒之內(nèi)就構(gòu)思出答題思路,45秒時(shí)間內(nèi)用來回答。綜合口語(yǔ)往往需要同學(xué)們?cè)?0-30秒內(nèi)構(gòu)思出答題思路,60秒內(nèi)回答。
12:00-12:50,寫作,寫作往往是由兩部分組成,綜合寫作和獨(dú)立寫作,共有50分鐘。

全部是用機(jī)考,即是在計(jì)算機(jī)上考試,托福反映出的是出國(guó)留學(xué)的學(xué)生對(duì)英語(yǔ)語(yǔ)言的應(yīng)用能力,同時(shí)還是留學(xué)生取得獎(jiǎng)學(xué)金的重要憑證。托福總分從閱讀、聽力、口試、寫作這四個(gè)方面得到,是一個(gè)總的分?jǐn)?shù)。新托福聽、說、讀、寫每一個(gè)部分滿分30分,總共就是120分。
新托福的80就等同于老托福550分,而新托福的100分就等同于老托福的600分。110-120:就托福分?jǐn)?shù)而言已經(jīng)十分完美了,申請(qǐng)任何一所美國(guó)大學(xué)都足夠。100-110:(優(yōu))大學(xué)有希望。

托福考試是一個(gè)由ETS測(cè)評(píng)研發(fā)的學(xué)術(shù)英語(yǔ)語(yǔ)言測(cè)試?,托福考試通過考察聽、說、讀、寫這4個(gè)技能方面以體現(xiàn)參與者在學(xué)術(shù)語(yǔ)言任務(wù)環(huán)境下的真實(shí)學(xué)術(shù)語(yǔ)言能力,并可用于本科及研究生階段的院校申請(qǐng)。托福是“對(duì)非英語(yǔ)國(guó)家留學(xué)生的英語(yǔ)考試”(Test of English as a Foreign Language)英文縮寫(TOEFL)的音譯。
托??荚嚬卜譃?種,托福網(wǎng)考(TOEFL Internet-based Test)、家庭版托福iBT考試 (TOEFL iBT Home Edition)、托福紙筆考試(TOEFL Paper-delivered Test)。其中,家庭版托福考試(TOEFL iBT Home Edition)就是托福 iBT 考試(TOEFL Internet-based Test),其成績(jī)認(rèn)可度及用途也與考點(diǎn)進(jìn)行考試相同。
