1、新托福TPO口语参考答案TPO21. Choose a place you go to often that is important to you and explain why it is important. Please include specific details in your explanation.Ioften go to the basketball court near my apartment. Its very important to me because I play basketball there everyday and basketball is my

2、favorite sport. Ever since I was a little boy, I have been playing in that court with my friends. When in junior high, I practiced shooting and dribbling in that court nearly everyday till late at night. Besides, the court is the reminder of an awful lot of my valuable memories. I still can remember

3、 that how I started out shooting badly and then after several weeks practice, I could shoot well and dribbled well. I can also remember many friends with whom I played basketball and form teams. Without that court, I couldnt possibly make so many friends. So its very important to me.2.Some college s

4、tudents choose to take courses in a variety of subject areas in order to get a broad education. Others choose to focus on a single subject area in order to have a deeper understanding of that area. Which approach to course selection do you think is better for students and why?Well, I think taking a

5、wide variety of courses is better for students. Because, first of all, I think undergraduate study is meant for broadness. Students had better broaden their horizon and prevent themselves from being narrow-minded. Second of all, I think before students find their “true love”, I mean, the subject the

6、y really want to go deep into, they should probably extend their study field and taste different subjects in various areas so as to identify the “true love”. Take myself as an example, my major is software engineering in the college, but I took various courses outside my major field. Then I found ou

7、t that I was more interested in literature than in computer and software. So literature is my “true love”.I think it depends on the students themselves. If a student doesnt know his or her interest. Its better for them to take a variety of courses so as to taste various kinds of subjects to find the

8、ir interest. Take myself as an example, my major is software engineering in the college, but I took various courses outside my major field. Then I found out that I was more interested in literature than in computer and software. So literature is my interest.If a student already know what he likes an

9、d what he needs to learn. Then taking many different classes will be a little bit waste of time. Its better for this student to concentrate on his or her interest. Forinstance, I dont think Bill Gates need to take courses other than computer science when in Harvard, coz he knew what he liked and wha

10、t he wanted. He already knew his interest.3.The man expresses his opinion of the universitys plan to eliminate the bus service. State his opinion and explain the reasons he gives for holding that opinion.The universityhas decided to stop its free bus service because not very many students ride the b

11、us and plans to use the money saved to expand the overcrowded parking lots. But the man in the conversation doesnt like the plan. As for the point about few students riding the bus, the man says its because the bus routes are out of date. The bus only goes through the places that are too expensive f

12、or students to live. If the buses change route and the man thinks there will be plenty of students taking those buses. The man also disagrees with the universitys plan to expand the parking lots. He thinks the plan will encourage more students to drive, which will add noise and create more traffic.

13、Then theyll need more parking space. He thinks the university should make it easier for students to take the public buses not the other way around.4.Explain how the examples of tying shoes and learning to type demonstrate the principle of audience effects.The principleof audience effects is that ind

14、ividuals performance is affected by the knowledge that others are watching them. The professor uses examples of tying shoes and learning to type to demonstrate that we actually increase our speed of performing if we know that we are being observed. In the example of tying shoes, one group of college

15、 students was told that they were being observed, the other didnt know they were being observed. The students who knew they were being watched tied their shoes much faster than the other group. And in the example of learning to type, when we are conscious of being observed, we will increase typing s

16、peed. We type faster than we do alone. Also, other behavioral pattern will increase, like making mistakes. So when we type faster when we know we are being observed, we also make more mistakes.5.The speakers discuss two possible solutions to the womans problem. Describe theproblem and the two soluti

17、ons. Then explain what you think the woman should doand why.The professorasks the woman to attend a field trip, but the woman has already promised another professor to help set up a museum exhibition next week. And this is the problem. The professor offers two possible solutions. The first is that s

18、he can talk to the other professor to see if there is someone else who can replace the woman to help set up the museum exhibition. The second is that the woman finishes setting up the museum before they set out the field trip. Actually, I think the woman should choose the second solution, because sh

19、e has already agreed to help the other professor and the other professor is counting on her. Its possible that there is no one else who can take her place. So shed better finish the task first before she goes to the field trip.6.Using points and examples from the talk, explain the two definitions of

20、 moneypresented by the professor.Theprofessor talks about two definitions of money, a broad one and a narrow one. By the broad definition, money is everything with which we can make purchases. For example, coins and bills can be money, because we can use them to buy goods such as vegetables and pay

21、for services such as taxi. But in a barter system, vegetables can be money, because farmers can give drivers vegetables in exchange for a drive. By the narrow definition, in a society, the legal tender is money. For instance, in the US, drivers and farmers must accept dollars as payment. People can use dollars to pay for taxi and buy vegetables because dollar is the legal tender in the US. So, dollar in the form of coin and bill is money.
