托福口语TPO36 Task3(听力+阅读+题目):Allow Laptops in Class
阅读部分:
Allow Laptops in Class
Though most of us own laptop computer, we arecurrently not allowed to use them during class. Ithink this policy should be changed. Since most of ustype faster than we write by hand, taking notes on acomputer would be quicker and easier, so we could pay more attention to professor's lectures. Also, since laptop computers have internet access, professors could direct students to view Websites with useful information while lectures are going on. They could look up useful facts andbackground information on a topic or view different photographs or illustrations of somethingthe professor is describing. This would help students gain a more complete understanding oflecture topics.

Now listen to two students discussing the letter.
W : Did you see this letter in the paper?
M : Yeah, but I don't think it's a good idea.
W : Why not?
M : Well, cause I think students would pay even lessattention to the professor;not more . I think they'd be too much of distraction.
W : How so?
M : Well, maybe some students would actually use laptops to take notes...
W : I would.
M : Ok, you would,but a lot of people, most people, would be too busy playing around withthem instead.You know,surfing the Internet, emailing friends,playing computer games, thatkind of stuff.
W : Huh ... so you really think they'd pay less attention ?
M : Yea,really I think that's what would happen.
W : Alright, but what about her second point? Don't you think if students had them in classprofessors would be able to use the Internet as a teaching tool?
M : Well, the problem with that is that not everyone has a laptop computer.Only some peoplehave one.
W: True...
M : So, you see, not everyone would be able to follow along. It wouldn't be useful as a teachingtool if only some students could follow along ,but not others.
W : I see what you mean.
Question:
The man expresses his opinion of the proposal thestudent makes in the letter. State his opinion andexplain the reasons he gives for holding that opinion.
 
托福口语TPO36 Task4(听力+阅读+题目):The Suspension of Disbelief
Reading Part:
The Suspension of Disbelief
As members of an audience, we can best enjoy thethe performance of a play if we become emotionallyinvolved with the events and characters on stage. Butto do this, we need to forget that what we see onstage is only imaginary, and pretend instead-temporarily--that it is real. This ability totemporarily put aside, or suspend, our doubt and believe that the action of a play is real iscalled the suspension of disbelief. Suspending disbelief enables viewers to become more andmore absorbed in the play as they watch the story develop, and to respond emotionally to theevents and characters as if they were real.
Listening 部分
So for example, back when I was in college one of myroommates, Richard, was in a play I went to see andwhen he first walked out on stage, I have to admit Iwas a little distracted. Richard was dressed up like anold man. I could tell that his hair was colored grayand he was pretending, you know, to be older, so hewalked more slowly; the way an older person would, but at first I only saw him as my roommatedressed up to look like an older man, but then as the play went on I began to think of him lessas the guy I lived with and more as this older man who was a father; one who had worked veryhard for his family, the family in the play and in the play the father gets sick and so, is out ofwork, which you know, caused me to become a little sad and because of the father's long illness, the family was worried that they wouldn't have enough money to pay the bills and this mademe feel worried too. Well, in the end, what happened was the family all came together andeveryone found jobs and started working. They all pitched in to help in the time of crisis, so thefamily gets by and pays their bills and soon after, the father recovers from his illness and thismade me feel relieved and even rather happy.
Question:
Explain how the example from the lecture illustratesthe suspension of disbelief.
 
托福口语TPO36 Task5(听力+题目):Time Conflict
Listen to a conversation between two studentsdiscussing plans for the weekend.
M : Hey Samantha ! I heard there's a big ski tripplanned for this weekend.
W : Right! The ski club's going up to MountHenderson this weekend.
M . That'II be fun.
W : I know, but I kind of have a problem. My cousin called and she's coming here this weekend. She has some kind of conference in town on Saturday and anyway, she wants to get togetherfor dinner Saturday night.
M : So what'd you tell her?
W : Oh course I couldn't really say no and anyway, I' m looking forward to seeing her. She's alot of fun . It' s just that.
M : Now you have to figure out how to see her and go on the ski trip.
W : Exactly,How can I do both ? Got any ideas ?
M : Well, you could explain to her that you already made plans to go on the ski trip. Ask her ifshe'd be willing to come to town on Friday instead of Saturday. That way you two could gettogether before her conference starts.
W : Hmm ... I' m sure she'd be willing to come on Friday if I asked her to. Then we could goout to dinner Friday night instead of Saturday night.
M : And you could go skiing on Saturday like you planned.
W: Yea , the only problem is that I'm a little worried about offending her. You know, asking herto come early so I don't have to change my plans.
M : Well, you did make plans to go skiing first.
W: True.
M : But, I do have another idea: you could just go for part of the ski trip.
W : What do you mean?
M : Well, instead of going on Saturday with the rest of the group, why don't you just drive upto Mount Henderson on Sunday? That way you get to spend Saturday night with your cousinand you could meet the group and go skiing on Sunday.
W : Wow ! That's another good idea. It's just that I'm not sure it's worth it to go up onSunday. I'd only get a couple hours of skiing in and then it'd be time to come back.
Question:
Using the examples from the professor’s lecture, explain how snails survive in hot and dry climate
 
托福口语TPO36 Task6(听力+题目):A Lecture in a Biology Class
Listen to part of a lecture in a Biology class
So, we know animals in many climates have todevelop strategies; ways to protect themselves whenthe weather becomes especially hot and dry in thesummers. Lets start talking about how one smallcreature, a snail, can do this. Now, as you know, asnail is a very small creature with a soft, moist body, most of which is protected by a hard shell. A snail isa good example of an animal that has developed certain strategies for coping with hightemperatures and draught, or lack of water. First, to avoid the heat when the sun comes out, snails move into the shelter of vegetation ... you know, plants or leaves, to get out of the sunand into the shade.Now, of course the ground can become very hot in the sun. It absorbs andradiates heat, so snails will move up off of the ground to places where it is cooler. They mayattach themselves to a wall or a tree where it is cooler than on the ground. Now, it's not justheat that snails need to worry about . They also need to avoid drying out due to lack of water, so during a really warm, dry day or during the summer months , snails secrete a sticky, slimysubstance made up of calcium and it covers the opening of their shell; covers and closes it up . This keeps the moisture inside the shell and prevents the snail from drying out. Snails canstay inside their shells closed up like this for a long time, even several months if it# s a reallydry summer. Their bodies, well everything slows down and so they don't need food. They cansurvive on what food they've stored up, but when it rains and water is available again, thesnail opens up its shell to get some.
Question:
Using the examples from the professor’s lecture, explain how snails survive in hot and dry climate.
