精彩内容 TOEFL全名为“Test of English as a Foreign Language”,是由美国教育考试服务中心(ETS)研发推广的英语能力测试,中文音译为“托福”。托福所提供的语言成绩不仅可以帮助考生申请美国高等院校,也可以成为考生正确学习英语的指南。目前,托福考试以互联网为依托进行机考,称为iBT(internet-Based Test),其整体设计旨在综合评估考生在英语听、说、读和写技能方面的综合能力。近几年,托福考试的整体难度逐渐增加,而考生群体则走向低龄化。考生们需要在准备托福考试的过程中打下坚实的基础,因而对于托福预备阶段资料的需求也亟待满足。《直通托福预备教程》系列丛书包括《直通托福预备教程:读写》、《直通托福预备教程:听说》两册,以北美优秀教辅书为参考,结合考生对于托福预备阶段备考的真实需求,由新东方美国本科考试研究院联合一线托福教师设计并编写,具有相当高的权威性和针对性,适合于托福考试零基础或英语语言基础薄弱的考生,帮助其打好语言基础。本书为《直通托福预备教程:听说》,共有15个单元,覆盖听力和口语考试中的不同场景和话题。1. 学习框架:每一个单元包含三部分,对话(Conversation)、讲座(Lecture)和综合练习(Practice),由浅入深,帮助学生综合训练听说能力。Part 1:对话的背景知识以热身问题配以图片的形式导入,帮助考生了解相关话题,有效建立场景意识;同时预测材料内容,减少听力练习部分的背景阻碍。筛选对话中的核心词汇和功能性词汇,给出中英释义、例句和同义词,并配有相应练习,帮助考生扫除生词障碍。此外,每一个单元都有不同的发音要点讲解和练习,回归到英语语音学习的根本。Part 2:和对话相比,讲座难度增加。同样也精选并解析了讲座中的核心词汇和功能性词汇,并配有相应习题。Part 3:在上述两个部分的练习基础上,考生已经接收了大量的语料输入,因此,此部分以综合练习为主,按照不同的单元话题,对考生的听力和口语进行综合性演练,包含听力、讨论和辩论等等。2. 内容来源:教材以托福听力和口语考试中经常出现的校园及生活话题为基础,由教学经验丰富的外教编写,并配有地道美语录音,帮助考生打下良好的听力及口语基础,从而更加顺利地进入到下一个阶段的学习。3. 场景话题:本书的场景话题在最大程度上模拟真实的北美校园和生活场景,具体包括:Unit 1: My FamilyUnit 2: My HomeUnit 3: My HobbiesUnit 4: My FriendsUnit 5: My ScheduleUnit 6: My CityUnit 7: My TravelsUnit 8: My CommunityUnit 9: My ClassesUnit 10: My Childhood and MemoriesUnit 11: BusinessUnit 12: ArtUnit 13: HealthUnit 14: EnvironmentUnit 15: Emotions4. 书中所有听力均附有原文,所有练习均提供答案,辅助考生进行学习。祝愿所有考生在本书的帮助下都能够顺利地通过TOEFL考试。新东方教育科技集团有限公司美国本科考试研究院
