有留学想法的同学不知道考没考托福呢?没有的话就跟的我一起来看一下托福考试考前必须要了解的要点,希望可以帮助到你,欢迎阅读。
一、托福考试考场注意纪律
1、考生需提前30分钟到场。
2、考生不许携带包括手表在内的任何电子设备和计时器。
3、在考务人员解锁后才能触摸键盘鼠标。
4、考间休息时可吃东西、喝水补充体力。
5、考试期间不能出考场。
二、托福考试程序
1、抵达考场:存物、抄写誓词、提交证件、签到照相、拿稿纸和铅笔。
2、进入考场:就座、核对显示器上照片、注册号、姓名生日是否相符;考务人员输入键盘解锁指令、调节音量和耳机;监考人确认,开始考试。
3、考试顺序:阅读--听力--口语--写作。
提醒:就座后,严禁考生触摸计算机键盘和鼠标,需有解锁指令后使用。
三、托福考试考前准备工作
首先,要告诉大家,每个考点的设施(比如计算机显示器是CRT还是LCD,是15还是17英寸)都不尽相同,总的来说不如人意,尤其是隔音很一般(每人一个座位相互间有隔板,而前后没有隔板)。
再者,各个考场的监考老师对考场政策的把握尺度区别很大,大家对此一定要有心理准备,详见下文:
1. 考生在考试前30分钟必须到达考场,否则主考老师有权拒绝考生参加考试。
建议:提前45分钟到考场。因为新托福实行先到先考的原则,先办完手续的考生可以先进行考试,后到的考生容易受干扰。
2. 考场外通常会有存放物品的箱子,可以将个人物品放在里面,不一定有锁。手机、手表、食物和饮料等绝对不能带入考场。
建议:不要带贵重物品。
3. 抄写誓词,考生在签完保密守则后会进行身份验证。
4. 向监考人提交自己的有效证件,签到。有效证件的具体说明:
带护照或携带其他两种证件,一个一类证件,一个二类证件(一类证件为居民身份证(包括香港和澳门身份证)或中国军人证件。二类证件包括学生证,中华人民共和国机动车驾驶证,考生本人所在学校学生处、系(院)办,或所在单位人事部门,或户籍所在地派出所,或档案所在地人才交流中心,或街道办事处开具的身份证明信。户籍所在地派出所开具的户籍证明信应包含考生照片;其他身份证明信需有本人照片、本人签字、本人身份证号码,个人体貌特征描述和经办单位人事部门电话,经办人签字及联系电话。(上述所有证明信须使用正式的抬头纸、照片处加盖骑缝章)
建议:有护照的考生最好把身份证也拿上,因为有的考点必须要两个证件。
5. 开始进入考场,首先要进行现场拍照。拍照使用的是电脑安装的摄像头,在获得照片后电脑会随机生成考生的座位号,并把这位考生的照片和信息传到相应的机位,然后考场的老师也会指引考生到考位。
提醒:这个过程比较慢,要有耐心。
6. 发放考试用的草稿纸和铅笔,草稿纸是彩色的,且只有三张,可两面使用,如果考试过程中用完了可以换新的草稿纸,旧的必须要交上去。
建议:草稿纸使用的时候要节约,尽量避免因换草稿纸而影响答题。
四、托福考试考场听说读写四项的考试顺序
1、阅读: 3篇文章/60分钟或5篇文章/ 100分钟(每篇文章700字左右)。
2、听力:6篇文章(由2个校园场景对话和4篇学术文章组成)。
3、10分钟休息,每个考场对这10分钟的监控差异很大,最严格的考场不允许学生离开座位,所以就不能进食/喝水,而最宽松的考场,学生可以在考场外自由行动,吃喝随意,而不加妨碍。
建议:事先做好最坏打算,考试前要吃好,但不要多喝水,避免上厕所。
提醒:10分钟以后,同学们需要示意监考老师,由监考老师进行密码确认后继续开始后面的考试。
4.口语:6道题(前两道题是独立任务,后四道是综合任务)。
5.写作:两道题(50分钟)
第一题:综合写作,20分钟; 第二题:独立写作,30分钟。
提醒:写完作文之后问你是否提交本次成绩,不要点错了,否则就白考了。
总结:在整个答题过程中还可以有一次可选的休息时间,但要占用答题的时间,所以尽量避免,除非要上厕所。
五、托福考前准备与考场注意事项相关答疑
Q:考试前签的协议大致是什么内容?
A:是关于你的名字,考场地点,还有抄写一段承诺不会泄露考题的保证。
Q:进入考场后,开始答题之前有什么注意事项?
A:进入考场,考官会给你指定一台电脑就坐,这时应该核对显示器上你的照片、注册号、姓名生日是否相符,如果相符,考务人员会帮你点击屏幕上的确定,进入考试界面。
Q:进入考试界面是直接考试答题吗?
A:不是。通常一进入界面,会先让戴上耳机试音,在这段时间内,你可以通过滑动界面右上角的volume滑块,调出适合你的音量。然后,会让你试一下麦克风是否正常,如果都正常你就可以选择右上角的continue,开始考试,不过这之前还要有考试要求,如果不想听直接跳过,开始考试。
Q:考试的每一项都包含什么?
A:①阅读通常包含2个section,第一个有一篇文章限时20分钟,第二个包含两篇文章限时40分钟,如果遇到了加试,会增加一个40分钟2篇文章的section。
②听力通常也包括2个section,每个里面包含有一篇长对话和两篇长演讲,如果遇到加试,会增加一个和前两个section内容结构一样的section(听力和阅读加试不会同时遇到),每个section的答题时间都为20分钟。
③口语包含6道题1、2是选择类题目;3、5是校园场景的对话总结题目,4、6是学术段子的总结题;其中3、4题是先看文字材料,然后听段子,然后口述5、6题,这里是直接听段子口述。
④写作先是综合写作20min,然后是独立写作30min。
Q:阅读考试中,界面是怎样的?
A:考试界面右面是阅读材料,左边是题目,右上角有倒计时,你可以选择隐藏(不过通常这样比较冒险,容易答不完),每次只出一道题目,每道题的答案所对应段落的前面会有一个→,做完每道题,点右上角的next,进入下一题,当然也可以退回来检查,注意阅读的最后一题是将正确的选项用鼠标拖到相应的位置,如果要修改也是如此拖动,如果都答完了觉得没有问题的话,点击右上角的continue,进入下一个section,或听力考试。
Q:听力考试界面是怎样的?
A:听力考试的段子播放界面是一幅图外加时间条,这时千万不要多看那幅图,而是抓紧时间记笔记,听力段子结束之后是答题界面,题目是先出题目,后出选项,一定要注意听力考试答题顺序是单向的,而且同一个section都一起计时(答完后面的是回不到前面的,所以要多多注意右上角的时间,合理的安排),每个section的答题时间都是10分钟,再就是听力答题在进入下一题的时候,不光要点next,还要再点一下ok,才能进入下一题,都答完后,点击continue进行中场休息。
Q:听力考试开始,音量依旧可以调节吗?
A:可以,但是建议提前调试到合适的状态,开始后再调节容易影响听力内容的接收或者容易死机。
Q:听力结束后,自动进入休息状态吗?
A:对,屏幕上会显示让你去休息的指示,同时屏幕中间会有个倒计时的提示,建议掌握好休息的时间。
Q:休息多长时间呢?
A:10分钟。
Q:休息时间通常应该做些什么?
A:利用好休息的时间,上个洗手间,吃点东西,喝点水,最好回到座位上,这样就可以听到旁边说的口语内容,会比只用15-20秒的准备时间去思考该说什么有优势的多。
Q:通常中场休息该补充些什么东西呢?
A:水是必须的,但不要太多,后半场上去厕所就不好了,润一下嗓子有利于更好的说口语就好;吃的东西最好不要是巧克力之类的甜食,容易对嗓子的发挥产生影响,可以是苹果之类的水果,既能补充能量,又可以润嗓子。
Q:休息时间结束,电脑界面会自动跳转吗?
A:会的,屏幕会提示你进入下一项考试,同时让你试音,看看麦克风有没什么异样,这时一定要仔细的试试,否则会影响后面的考试。
Q:口语考试的界面是什么样子的?
A:口语考试1.2题目的界面都是你描述的题目要求,同时会有准备/陈述时间的倒计时;3.4题目的界面同样包括题目的要求和倒计时,同时会有要求你看的文字材料出现,30秒后消失;5.6题目的界面同1.2题一样。(注:口语考试的界面,随着题目的变化自动跳转,不需要手动操作)
Q:口语考试需要注意哪些?
A:最最关键的就是声音要洪亮,不要不好意思,声音小更加容易被旁边的人干扰;同时注意时间的分配,不要过于匆忙更不能太慢,错过主要信息,3-6题注意笔记的精简,同时抓主要信息,尤其是能看懂自己记的内容。
Q:综合写作的界面是什么?
A:进入综合写作界面,首先是左边出现限时3分钟的阅读材料,3分钟后材料自动消失,开始播放听力材料,听力材料结束后,刚才隐去的阅读内容会在屏幕的左边重新出现,同时屏幕右侧会有让你输入的空格,限时20分钟,最少150字(注:写作中大小都是需要自己转换,段落自己分),如果提前答完检查没问题了,可以点击右上角的continue进入独立写作。
Q:独立写作的界面是怎样的?
A:左侧是给出的论述题目,右侧的空格输入内容,限时30分钟,最少300词,如果提前答完并且检查无误后,可以交卷。
可以,因为在托福(TOEFL)考试中,OG即是指ETS考试中心官方给出的应试指南。OG,是Official Guide的缩写,意思是官方指南。
托福是由美国教育测验服务社(ETS)举办的英语能力考试,全名为“检定非英语为母语者的英语能力考试”,中文由TOEFL而音译为“托福”。
TOEFL有三种,分别是: pbt—paper based test 纸考 677, cbt—computer based test 机考 300, ibt—internet based test 网考 120, 新托福满分是120分。TOEFL考试的有效期为两年,是从考试日期开始计算的。
英国内政部于2014年4月初结束与美国教育考试机构ETS的合作,不再承认其旗下托福(TOEFL)和托业(TOEIC)两大英语考试的成绩。部分准备赴英留学的中国学生反映已接到校方要求重新提供英语考试成绩的通知。
扩展资料:
托福机经:
“托福机经”这个名词的由来和雅思机经相差无几。机经指的是上机考试经验,最先起源于托福考试,即对上机考试题目的回忆总结。托福考试完全是上机考试作答,所以烤鸭们就亲切的称之为机经。机经内容含听力,阅读,写作及口语面试题目等。
其中写作和口语部分对备考托福的考生帮助很大。从另一个角度研究托福历年考题,半年题库变更一次,研究同半年的机经,是完全可以遇到重复题目的。但其答案准确性众说纷纭,并不完全标准,制作仅供研究参考。
托福考试:
TOEFL考试的试题分为四部分,前三部分全部采用多项选择题。每道题一般有4个供选择的答案,统一在规定的答题纸上答题。所有答案都使用计算机判分。第四部分是作文TWE。
考试时,先进行作文考试,然后是其它三部分的考试,作文考试时间为30分钟,其它三部分考试时间为110分钟。从考生进人考场到考试结束全过程需三个半小时。
综合评分写作标准:
1、内容的完整性和准确性。简单地说,就是文章是否有将讲座中的关键信息点完整、准确地提取出来(通常情况下有三点),并和阅读材料中的相关内容有效地一一对应。
2、文章的组织机构,词汇和语法的正确性和准确性。高分的作文需要做到条理清晰,结构连贯,用词恰当,能够准确地表达讲座中的观点与阅读材料中的观点是如何相互联系的。
只要作文中的错误不至于使内容表述出现误解,一些偶尔出现的语言错误,如单词拼写、单复数问题等,不会对作文成绩产生很大影响,当然,错误肯定是越少越好的。

在目前浩浩荡荡的托福大军中,大家都在纠结着一个问题:做托福阅读 文章 时,要不要先把文章整体读一遍?就这个问题而言,我们的“托儿”们不得不被倚天剑劈成两大帮派:读与不读。下面将会为大家解释为什么要在做托福阅读题目之前要先将文章整体阅读一遍。
托福阅读做题要先整体的读一遍
一、托福阅读考试界面的设置
参加过考试的或是用模考软件做过练习的“托儿”们都清晰的记得:当一篇托福阅读文章问题出现的之前,一定是先以整篇文章的形式出现的,左边并没有显示题目,只有将文章右边的滚动轴拉至最低端,界面才会自动转换为我们做题的界面,即左边是问题,右边是对应的文章。
那么,我们就分析一下为什么ETS有这样的设置?ETS有什么样的意图?ETS想让考生怎么做?这样的设置显而易见ETS是希望考生们可以在做题前将文章大致整体看一遍。就ETS出题的严谨性和科学性而言,这样的设置毋庸置疑是帮助考生提高其做题的速度和正确率的。
我们已经分析完出题人的意图,那么接下来就是要解答界面设置导致的整体阅读有哪些好处,如何帮助考生们答题,如何提高做题速度和正确率的。
二、整体阅读托福阅读文章对summary questions的帮助
对于托福阅读速度不高,英语水平中等或中等以下的“托儿”们普遍反映的一个问题就是:没有时间做最后的summary questions,或是做summary questions的时候不知道到哪里找答案或是正确率低。
我们先来分析一下summary questions,大家都知道这个题型出现在阅读文章的最后一道题,而且是对全文观点的 总结 。那么,既然是对于全篇文章观点的总结,那么它考察的内容是文章的分论点,即一段或是几段的主要内容。
如果是时间不够,考生要直接选,很容易选错,为什么?因为前面的12道题考察的基本上是文章的细节内容。我们都知道细节信息是summary questions的禁忌;所以,凭做题印象直接解题,那么就受前面解题思路的影响,很容易被误导。但如果这时你在做题之前对整篇文章有了一个整体的阅读,并在演草纸上做了大致的笔记,那么summary questions就可以轻而易举的攻破,为什么?怎么做?
首先,整体阅读不是逐字逐句,是scan文章,了解文章框架。
其次,在演草纸上简单快速的写下文章的主论点,若干个分论点(一段或是几段的主要内容),即大纲。(没必要是完整的 句子,可以参照听力记笔记的 方法,符合,中英文结合的方法。)
这样,整体阅读的步骤结束后,在演草纸上就能出来一片文章的框架,并且这个框架大纲可以在最短时间能基本解决summary questions中80%。而且可以帮助考生轻松排除summary questions中的错误选项。
综上所述,做题前整体阅读托福阅读文章是极其必要的,希望这篇文章对大家解决托福阅读考试的问题上有所帮助。
托福阅读答题的时候可以看文章吗?
一些没参加过托福考试的同学可能不了解阅读考试的实际流程,比如,托福阅读答题的时候可以看文章吗?
托福阅读考试,大约3-4篇文章,每篇文章长度大约为700词,每篇文章包含10个问题。托福阅读考试过程中你可以返回上一题查看并修改答案。考试的界面上,文章在左边,题目在右边,所以解答过程中都可以查看文章。
托福阅读真题1
It is estimated that over 99 percent of all species that ever existed have become extinct. What causes extinction? When a species is no longer adapted to a changed environment, it may perish. The exact causes of a species' death vary from situation to situation. Rapid ecological change may render an environment hostile to a species. For example, temperatures may change and a species may not be able to adapt. Food resources may be affected by environmental changes, which will then cause problems for a species requiring these resources. Other species may become better adapted to an environment, resulting in competition and, ultimately, in the death of a species.
The fossil record reveals that extinction has occurred throughout the history of Earth. Recent analyses have also revealed that on some occasions many species became extinct at the same time — a mass extinction. One of the best-known examples of mass extinction occurred 65 million years ago with the demise of dinosaurs and many other forms of life. Perhaps the largest mass extinction was the one that occurred 225 million years ago, when approximately 95 percent of all species died, mass extinctions can be caused by a relatively rapid change in the environment and can be worsened by the close interrelationship of many species. If, for example, something were to happen to destroy much of the plankton in the oceans, then the oxygen content of Earth would drop, affection even organisms not living in the oceans. Such a change would probably lead to a mass extinction.
One interesting, and controversial, finding is that extinctions during the past 250 million years have tended to be more intense every 26 million years. This periodic extinction might be due to intersection of the Earth's orbit with a cloud of comets, but this theory is purely speculative. Some researchers have also speculated that extinction may often be random. That is, certain species may be eliminated and others may survive for no particular reason. A species' survival may have nothing to do with its ability or inability to adapt. If so, some of evolutionary history may reflect a sequence of essentially random events.

托福阅读真题2
Archaeological discoveries have led some scholars to believe that the first Mesopotamian inventors of writing may have been a people the later Babylonians called Subarians. According to tradition, they came from the north and moved into Uruk in the south. By about 3100 B.C., they were apparently subjugated in southern Mesopotamia by the Sumerians, whose name became synonymous with the region immediately north of the Persian Gulf, in the fertile lower valleys of the Tigris and Euphrates. Here the Sumerians were already well established by the year 3000 B.C. They had invented bronze, an alloy that could be cast in molds, out of which they made tools and weapons. They lived in cities, and they had begun to acquire and use capital. Perhaps most important, the Sumerians adapted writing (probably from the Subarians) into a flexible tool of communication.
Archaeologists have known about the Sumerians for over 150 years. Archaeologists working at Nineveh in northern Mesopotamia in the mid-nineteenth century found many inscribed clay tablets. Some they could decipher because the language was a Semitic one (Akkadian), on which scholars had already been working for a generation. But other tablets were inscribed in another language that was not Semitic and previously unknown. Because these inscriptions made reference to the king of Sumer and Akkad, a scholar suggested that the new language be called Sumerian.
But it was not until the 1890's that archaeologists excavating in city-states well to the south of Nineveh found many thousands of tablets inscribed in Sumerian only. Because the Akkadians thought of Sumerian as a classical language (as ancient Greek and Latin are considered today), they taught it to educated persons and they inscribed vocabulary, translation exercises, and other study aids on tablets. Working from known Akkadian to previously unknown Sumerian, scholars since the 1890's have learned how to read the Sumerian language moderately well. Vast quantities of tablets in Sumerian have been unearthed during the intervening years from numerous sites.
