2016年3月托福考試必做真題

　　以下是小編整理的2016年2月27日托福考試的真題，希望對參加3月份及之后的考生提供到幫助。

　　閱讀部分

　　第一篇

　　題材劃分：動物類

　　主要內容：動物滅絕

　　講的是大型動物的滅絕。第一題問哪里的動物滅絕率高。文章講到兩個可能的因素。第一點說可能是因為氣候的變化，但是有反駁說不對，動物都能遷徙到適合的地方，但事實是有些動物沒走。舉了一個例子，這里也有題。第二點說可能是人類的捕殺，但是有證據表明人類比較少，居住也很分散，而且大多證據都是小型動物，沒有大型動物。也舉了個例子，是澳大利亞，也有題。然后這段末尾有個詞匯題。最后一段總結概括說其實可能兩種因素都有，需綜合考慮，可能是共同作用的結果。

　　相關背景知識：

　　Habitat degradation is currently the mainanthropogenic cause of species extinctions. The main cause of habitatdegradation worldwide is agriculture, with urban sprawl, logging, mining andsome fishing practices close behind. The degradation of a species' habitat mayalter the fitness landscape to such an extent that the species is no longerable to survive and becomes extinct. This may occur by direct effects, such asthe environment becoming toxic, or indirectly, by limiting a species' abilityto compete effectively for diminished resources or against new competitorspecies.

　　Habitat degradation through toxicity can killoff a species very rapidly, by killing all living members through contaminationor sterilizing them. It can also occur over longer periods at lower toxicitylevels by affecting life span, reproductive capacity, or competitiveness.

　　Habitat degradation can also take the form ofa physical destruction of niche habitats. The widespread destruction oftropical rainforests and replacement with open pastureland is widely cited asan example of this; elimination of the dense forest eliminated theinfrastructure needed by many species to survive. For example, a fern thatdepends on dense shade for protection from direct sunlight can no longersurvive without forest to shelter it. Another example is the destruction ofocean floors by bottom trawling.

　　Diminished resources or introduction of newcompetitor species also often accompany habitat degradation. Global warming hasallowed some species to expand their range, bringing unwelcome competition toother species that previously occupied that area. Sometimes these newcompetitors are predators and directly affect prey species, while at othertimes they may merely outcompete vulnerable species for limited resources.Vital resources including water and food can also be limited during habitatdegradation, leading to extinction.

　　There have been at least five massextinctions in the history of life on earth, and four in the last 350 millionyears in which many species have disappeared in a relatively short period ofgeological time. A massive eruptive event is considered to be one likely causeof the "Permian–Triassic extinction event" about 250 million yearsago, which is estimated to have killed 90% of species then existing. There isalso evidence to suggest that this event was preceded by another massextinction, known as Olson's Extinction. The Cretaceous–Paleogene extinctionevent occurred 66 million years ago, at the end of the Cretaceous period, andis best known for having wiped out non-avian dinosaurs, among many otherspecies.

　　第二篇

　　題材劃分：藝術類

　　主要內容：活字印刷

　　活字印刷，第一段說活字印刷的前提有一點是造紙術，然后說造紙術從中國引進到意大利 (有題)，然后講在意大利這個雖然紙造出來容易受損(詞匯題)，但是很方便。后面講了制作的方法(有題)，之后講了這個技術傳到了德國，并產生一些影響。舉了一個例子(有題)，然后，活字印刷發明出來了，對這些造書有影響(有題)。然后說有一個圣經特別貴，只有有錢人有地位的人才能買(有題)一共只生產了187本。

　　相關知識背景：

　　Movable type is the system ofprinting and typography that uses movable components to reproduce the elementsof a document (usually individual letters or punctuation).

　　The world's first known movable type system for printingwas made of ceramic materials and created in China around A.D 1040 by Bi Sheng(990–1051) during the Northern Song Dynasty (960–1127). In 1377, the firstmetallic types were invented in Goryeo Dynasty in Korea, which were used toprint Jikji, which is the oldest extant movable metal print book. The diffusionof both movable-type systems was, however, limited. They were expensive, andrequired an enormous amount of labour involved in manipulating the thousands ofceramic tablets, or in the case of Korea, metal tablets, required for scriptsbased on the Chinese writing system, which have thousands of characters.

　　Around 1450 Johannes Gutenberg made a mechanical metalmovable-type printing press in Europe, along with innovations in casting thetype based on a matrix and hand mould. The more limited number of charactersneeded for European languages was an important factor. Gutenberg was the firstto create his type pieces from an alloy of lead, tin, and antimony—and thesematerials remained standard for 550 years.

　　For alphabetic scripts, movable-type page setting wasquicker than woodblock printing. The metal type pieces were more durable andthe lettering was more uniform, leading to typography and fonts. The highquality and relatively low price of the Gutenberg Bible (1455) established thesuperiority of movable type in Europe and the use of printing presses spreadrapidly. The printing press may be regarded as one of the key factors fosteringthe Renaissance and due to its effectiveness, its use spread around the globe.

　　The 19th-century invention of hot metal typesettingand its successors caused movable type to decline in the 20th century.

　　第三篇

　　題材劃分：自然環境

　　主要內容：海洋和大氣的形成

　　講的是海洋和大氣的形成。第一段是引入部分，有個句子插入題。講到了很久以前地球基本是液體，后來慢慢固化。從第一段末尾開始有題。然后說海洋和大氣層可能是一起形成的，但是有反駁觀點說溫度太高吧。后來又說整個水的循環大概一百萬年循環一次吧。地下水其實比海洋水要多，這里也有題。最后一段說的是會有地下水慢慢出來變成海洋水，這里也有題。但是科學家并不知道到底地下水有沒有循環過。

　　相關知識背景：

　　Oceancurrents greatly affect Earth's climate by transferring heat from the tropicsto the polar regions. Transferring warm or cold air and precipitation tocoastal regions, winds may carry them inland. Surface heat and freshwaterfluxes create global density gradients that drive the thermohaline circulationpart of large-scale ocean circulation. It plays an important role in supplyingheat to the polar regions, and thus in sea ice regulation. Changes in thethermohaline circulation are thought to have significant impacts on Earth'senergy budget. In so far as the thermohaline circulation governs the rate atwhich deep waters reach the surface, it may also significantly influenceatmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations.

　　For adiscussion of the possibilities of changes to the thermohaline circulationunder global warming, see shutdown of thermohaline circulation.

　　It isoften stated that the thermohaline circulation is the primary reason that theclimate of Western Europe is so temperate. An alternate hypothesis claims thatthis is largely incorrect, and that Europe is warm mostly because it liesdownwind of an ocean basin, and because atmospheric waves bring warm air northfrom the subtropics.

　　TheAntarctic Circumpolar Current encircles that continent, influencing the area'sclimate and connecting currents in several oceans.

　　One ofthe most dramatic forms of weather occurs over the oceans: tropical cyclones(also called "typhoons" and "hurricanes" depending uponwhere the system forms).

　　Atmosphericcirculation is the large-scale movement of air through the troposphere, and themeans (with ocean circulation) by which heat is distributed around Earth. Thelarge-scale structure of the atmospheric circulation varies from year to year,but the basic structure remains fairly constant because it is determined byEarth's rotation rate and the difference in solar radiation between the equatorand poles.

　　Conversation 1

　　有個女生幫他們宿舍咨詢一個non credit art class，那女生本來以為不要錢，結果前臺說其實是要收費的，一個40刀一個100刀，因為材料要收費，學生可以打折，然后其中一個課是在學校外面，是一個退休老教授授課，由于校內要供學生們上課，一直沒空，所以只能在校外上。前臺問女生是自己要來上課嗎，女生說不是，她是幫他們寢室問的。最后就是關于schedule的一些信息，女生說她正好值日，干脆拿一些poster回去，讓室友得到信息。

　　心理學，講大腦結構和行為的關系。先說蝙蝠，靠聽力而不是視力捕食，所以大腦管聽力部分發達。然后說一種鳥藏食物到很多地方，但是每個地方都找得到，研究表明它大腦中管特殊記憶的地方比較大，然后又說同一種類的鳥管特殊記憶的部分有大有小，提出是否后天行為影響大腦結構。于是做了一組實驗，同一種鳥分成兩組，實驗組沒有足夠食物，鳥需要收集然后找地方藏，對照組有很多食物，不需要藏食物，研究發現實驗組鳥的大腦中特殊記憶部分長大了。然后又提出人的大腦是不是也是這樣受行為影響大腦結構，舉了個倫敦出租車司機的例子，說出租車司機因為要認路，所以特殊記憶的地方大。又做了另一組實驗，出租車司機和普通人，共同點是都是右撇子，都是年紀相仿的人，并不是說有記憶天賦的人去當出租車司機就越好，而是當司機的時間越久，這一塊就越發達，是后天形成的。

　　生物學，講美國曾經有片大草原，現在長滿了針葉林，為什么會這樣，因為這種針葉樹有特殊的細胞，耐旱，根很發達，會找水源。曾經有野火少，但是因為農業發展，cattle把草都吃了所以火燒不起來了，人類也有意識防止森林火災，野火被控制后，這樹又瘋長，抵死了另一種灌木林，說了這種樹對環境的影響，提到某種鳥類，鳥少了是因為樹木代替了shrub，而shrub是它筑巢吃飯的依靠，而且樹為predator提供庇護，所以鳥類數量有所減少。最后出題了，說人們現在在采取行動限制樹木生長，而這個代價是值得的。

　　口語部分

　　Task1

　　Question: One of your friends is usually exhausted forhis work. What suggestions will you give to him if he wants to cultivate somepersonal interests?

　　Well, I wouldlike to give him advice from several aspects.

　　Firstly, hecould be stressed mentally to some extend. I may suggest him to go for a walkafter work everyday before going to finish or prepare stuff as often to refreshhis mind, like pressing the reset button on him.

　　Secondly, hisdaily routine could be a factor that causes his exhaustion after or duringwork. I would more likely to accompany him to workout in a gym to see if he canstrengthen his muscle groups to be resistant to his painstaking job.

　　Task 2

　　Question:Some people believe that it is the innate talents make a person an artist.While others think that it is the efforts a person put in that make the personan artist. Which do you prefer and why?

　　In terms ofthe nature or nurture problem, I may say it’s the mutual influence that makes aperson an artist. However, I think the inborn talent is more crucial than thatof the effort.

　　Firstly, artappreciation requires an advanced value and an appreciation system, which arenot frequently seen among the public and it is different from other tasks thatthe experiences could be accumulated over the course of lifetime.

　　Secondly, theprimitive attitude toward art and ability in approaching an art piece cannot beacquired in a systematical learning.

　　Task 3

　　Listening: School is planning to open a 24-7 store toprovide commodities that students actually need. The boy agrees that it is agreat idea to open a 24h store for he could buy drugs like aspirin when had aheadache otherwise it is going to be troublesome to see a store closed at thattime. Besides, what if the printer is out of printing ink? They can go straightto get what the urgently need.

　　Task 4

　　The lectureillustrates the relationship between a group of migrating animals and a kind ofplant named nectar corridor over the course of migration.

　　The bat areeager to find food supplements during the migration stage of dessert whilethere is a plant which could provide the bat with its dew so as to let the batspread its pollen to further places.

　　Task 5

　　The problemof the boy is that he is going to have a group project on the night where hisfather’s 5o year birthday is and he is now irresolute.

　　The firstsolution to the problem is to ask his group members to help to finish theproject since the boy has already done enough work in the group. However it iskind of unfair for the rest of the group the take the burden of his.

　　The secondsolution is to finish the group project earlier so as to celebrate his father’s50th birthday later but it will probably let his father down.

　　I personallywould suggest him to finish the project beforehand. Though he is going to be alittle bit late for his father’s birthday celebration, I believe his fatherwould understand if he could tell the truth in advance.

　　Task 6

　　Thesephotographers’ attitudes toward industrialization are changing graduallythrough time between 19th century and 20th century.

　　A photo presents a picture offarmers working on the field without machineries. While another photo shows ascenery of an alignment of machineries stand inside of a factory under thesunlight.

　　It turns out that photographers arechanging from praising the harmony between men and nature to sing for themodern industrialization.

Topic 議題whether  people should protect prairie dogs
	Reading	Listening
Thesis 總論點	There are three reasons to  illustrate the bad effects brought by those prairie dogs.	The messages mentioned in  the reading are misleading.
Sub-point1 分論點1	They are agricultural pests  because they will compete with cattle for grass.	The agricultural pests view  is outdated. On the one hand, prairie dogs have changed their diets. On the  other hand, cattle now feed on some specific areas. So there is no competitive  relation between them. What’s more, the burrowing of prairie dogs does not  harm the growth of grass, but in fact makes the land fertile, which facilitates  the grass growth.
Sub-point2 分論點2	The fleas they carry can cause  bacterial disease.	The incidence of a disease  is very low. In the past 15 years, only 10 people got infected.
Sub-point 3 分論點3	Protecting them hardly  brings benefits to the ecosystem, so it is more worth protecting large  mammals.	They do goods to the  ecosystem. First, The burrows underground prairie dogs big are habitats of  other animals such as snakes. Second, they are also food resources of large  animals such as foxes. The disappearing of prairies dogs will endanger those  species.

　　Sample answer:

　　The reading puts forward threereasons to illustrate the bad effects brought by those prairie dogs. However, theprofessor refutes these three strongly.

　　Firstly, the reading claims prairiedogs are agricultural pests because they will compete with cattle for grass. Incontrast, the professor argues that the agricultural pests view is outdated. Onthe one hand, prairie dogs have changed their diets. On the other hand, cattlenow feed on some specific areas. So there is no competitive relation betweenthem. What’s more, the burrowing of prairie dogs does not harm the growth ofgrass, but in fact makes the land fertile, which facilitates the grass growth.

　　Secondly, in the reading, itsuggests the fleas they carry can cause bacterial disease. However, theprofessor disagrees, for the incidence of a disease is very low. In the past 15years, only 10 people got infected.

　　Finally, the reading suggeststhat protecting them hardly brings benefits to the ecosystem, so it is moreworth protecting large mammals. But the professor argues that they do goods tothe ecosystem. First, the burrows underground prairie dogs big are habitats ofother animals such as snakes. Second, they are also food resources of largeanimals such as foxes. The disappearing of prairies dogs will endanger thosespecies.

　　獨立寫作：

作文題目：	High school  students should be required to study many different subjects at same time or  they should study only three or four subjects at a time.
題型類別:	利弊類
題材類別：	二選一
相關舊題：	無
寫作思路：	高中生應該同時學多門課還是每次只學幾門課，如果選前者可以從不同科目間都是相互相成的等角度學；如果選后者，可以從個人注意力有限、學習的效率、學習講究循序漸進及課外活動的重要性等角度出發。
寫作指導：	選擇同時學多門課： 盡管有人會說同時學多門課會讓學生分散精力（distract from），不能學好每科（low efficiency）。但我認為事實與此相反(contradict)，因為各個學科之間都是有聯系和交叉的(interweave)，同時學多門課其實能更好地促進知識的吸收(facilitate the assimilation of knowledge)，例如物理化學科目都涉及數學，這三者的學習能相互促進（reciprocate）；中文和英文有類似的句子結構，所以兩者也能互利( mutually beneficial)。即使是文科和理科之間也有交叉，如語言學和數學，語言學中其實有數學規律。 同時學習廣泛的科目有助于引起學生的學習興趣，而局限于（be confined ot）少數領域會導致厭倦心理從而厭學。興趣是最好的老師，涉及多種不同學科可以開拓他們的思維。同時，當他們一旦發現了科目之間自然而然的聯系，他們的熱情會隨即被激發（motivate／stimulate）。 培養學生合理安排規劃時間的能力。如果學習科目少，學生的課業壓力就少，很多學生會慵懶度日。而同時學習多個科目就意味著學生要花更多的時間在學習上，同時也要協調（coordinate）好各科之間的學習時間以及娛樂休閑時間。這對于學生以后的進入社會很有幫助。
詞匯拓展：	distract from 分散 low efficiency 低效 contradict 矛盾 interweave 交織 facilitate the assimilation of knowledge 促進知識吸收 reciprocate 互惠 mutually beneficial 互利的 be confined to 局限于 motivate／stimulate 激發 coordinate 使協調
