新托福突破口TPO（1-24）口語文本新托福突破口TPO（1-24）口語文本 新托福突破口其實還是留有很多遺憾的，這里面一個很大的遺憾，就是一直都沒有一份口語音頻的原文出現(xiàn)！今天借助網(wǎng)友“宇宇”的分享，我們終于彌補了這個遺憾！十分感謝“宇宇”！ 雖然現(xiàn)在已經(jīng)發(fā)布了新托福突破口TPO25與TPO26，但是這份材料我們是苦苦等了5年才等到的，因此各位考友暫時也就別再等新托福突破口TPO25與TPO26口語文本的到來了，就先使用這份已有的資料吧，畢竟這里面已經(jīng)都包含了24套了，完全沒有必要為剩下的2套進行糾結(jié)。 其實這份新托福突破口TPO的文本一直沒有引起太多人的注意，也是有他的原因的，畢竟TPO口語部分之中的聽力難度，還是趕不上聽力部分本身的難度的。如果在口語部分的聽力都解決不了的話，那么其實TPO的聽力也真的是難有出頭之日了。從這個角度來說，我們其實不是很重視口語的聽力部分。 但是，從學(xué)習(xí)的角度來說，其實很多考友還是很難一步就達到托?？荚嚨囊蟮?，而且在準(zhǔn)備托福的時間段里面，還有很強烈的準(zhǔn)備托?？谡Z的需要，但是這個時候聽力實力還不夠強，此時，這份資料就派上用場了。 這份資料會有如下3大用處： 1. 各位考友可以在手里還不是很強的時候，可以用這份資料來替代口語音頻，幫助我們練習(xí)。 2. 可以跟讀這份材料，來幫助自己矯正自己的口語發(fā)音，同時也可以拿這份材料做轉(zhuǎn)述！因為這份材料十分的口語化，而且邏輯性非常的好，非常適合我們作為口語轉(zhuǎn)述的資料。 3. 對于水平比較低的考友，用這份材料做聽寫，其實也是可以的，因為材料比較短，而且難度也比較低，作為一個接入型的教材，也是不錯的。其實口語的核心還是在于多開口說，多開口練。如果你對于口語的練習(xí)，實在沒有方向的話，也可以看一下無老師的30小時，拿下托?？谡Z！ /archives/5733 ，一定會令你茅塞頓開的！目錄TPO15Task 35Task 46Task 57Task 68TPO29Task 39Task 410Task 511Task 612TPO313Task 313Task 414Task 515Task 617TPO418Task 318Task 419Task 520Task 622TPO523Task 323Task 425Task 526Task 627TPO628Task 328Task 430Task 531Task 633TPO734Task 334Task 436Task 537Task 638TPO839Task 339Task 440Task 541Task 643TPO944Task 344Task 446Task 547Task 649TPO1050Task 350Task 452Task 553Task 654TPO1155Task 355Task 456Task 557Task 658TPO1259Task 359Task 460Task 561Task 663TPO1364Task 364Task 465Task 566Task 667TPO1468Task 368Task 470Task 571Task 673TPO1574Task 374Task 476Task 577Task 679TPO1680Task 380Task 482Task 583Task 684TPO1785Task 385Task 486Task 587Task 688TPO1889Task 389Task 491Task 592Task 693TPO1994Task 394Task 495Task 596Task 698TPO2099Task 399Task 4101Task 5102Task 6104TPO21105Task 3105Task 4107Task 5108Task 6110TPO22111Task 3111Task 4113Task 5114Task 6116TPO23117Task 3117Task 4119Task 5120Task 6122TPO24123Task 3123Task 4125Task 5126Task 6128TPO1Task 3Did you see Paul s letter in the paper about the new sculpture?Yeah, but it was totally unconvincing. His reasons for opposing the plan were just totally off. I am glad we ll finally have some nice arts on campus. I d like to shake donor s hand and say thank you.What do you mean the donor?You didnt know? An anonymous donor is paying the bill for most of the sculpture.Not the university?No, his assumptions about who is paying for are all wrong.Still I wonder if he has a point about the space that it will take up.Well, you know why Paul is upset? He and his friends are always out there on the lawn right where the sculpture will be, kicking around the soccer ball. Now they ll just have to use another part of the campus to play.Oh, so he just does not want to have to move.Yeah. for him, its sculpture versus convenience.Task 4So let me tell you about my own experience with this when I was working for a computer company a couple of years ago. So one day a coworker and I suggested we should our computers a design makeover, make them look more up to date. Market research was showing that new customers said that they would be more interested in buying our computers if they looked cooler. Our technology was advanced but the outside design looked really old fashioned. At first, more than half the group supported us. There were a few senior managers there though who did not support the design change. One of the senior managers said our focus has always been on technology, changing the look is an unnecessary cost. Almost immediately some of our supporters changed their minds. Even my coworker changed his mind. When I asked him why after the meeting, he told me he did not want to make a bad impression on the senior managers. He thought that disagreeing with them might jeopardize his chances of getting a promotion by not looking like a team player. What about me? I hated to admit it, but after a few hours discussion, I started wondering if it was worthy every one s time to argue about this. As more people sided with senior management, I started to feel like I was the only one holding up the vote. Every one else seemed to think change wasnt necessary so I voted against my own idea in the end. So we unanimously decided to stay with the current old looking design. But this decision ended up costing us a lot of money. That same year, our competitor came up with a new design that attracted some of our customers and prevented us from profiting on potential new customers.Task 5Hi, Mary, how is your voluntary work going? You still involved in that after school program with the elementary school kids?Yeah, but I have got a problem. I am supposed to be driving a bunch of them to the zoo tomorrow.Yeah?And I was supposed to rent a van for the trip. But I waited too long to call the rental agency to reserve one and now it turns out they do not have any vans available for tomorrow. I dont know what to do. These kids will be really disappointed if their trip gets cancelled.Well, does not one of your friends here on campus have a car? I mean could not you borrow it for the day?Yeah, probably, but I need to borrow two cars, or there would not be enough space for all the kids.That is why I was going to rent a van and then I need to find somebody else to drive too. I cant drive two cars by myself.Yeah, that is true. Well, I am sure you can probably find a volunteer. Or if you want to save yourself the trouble of hunting down as a second driver, well, what about public transportation, check the bus schedule and I think there is a bus line that goes right past the zoo.Yeah, that is a possibility. But I dont know it might be a real challenge supervising the kids on the bus. Sometimes they are a handful when they get excited. It is an option, though.Task 6Scientists have learned some interesting things about the intellectual abilities of babies. They say there is evidence that babies as young as five month old can do basic arithmetic: that they can add. Scientists think that babies know that one plus one equals two and not one, the evidence is indirect because obviously, you can not ask a five month old baby to add up some numbers for you so they devised an experiment where in this experiment a baby is shown a doll on a table. okay, so the baby looks at the doll. Then the researcher lowers a screen in front of the doll. So now the doll is hidden behind the screen. But the baby has already seen the doll and so know it is there. Well, then the researcher takes a second doll and very obviously places it behind the screen with the first one. Okay, so now you have two dolls behind the screen, right? Well ,no. Because what the researchers did was they secretly took away one of the dolls. And then when they raised the screen back up, the baby, well, it expects to see two dolls, right? But there is only one there. And guess what? The baby is surprised. It expects two , but it only sees one. How could the researchers tell that the baby is surprised. Well, they recorded the baby s eye movements on camera. And we know that when a baby is surprised by something, a loud noise or an unexpected flash of light maybe, it stares at where the noise or light is coming from and that is what the babies in the experiment did. They stared because a baby knows if you add one doll and one doll, you should have two dolls. So, when it sees one doll, then it stares because it is surprised.TPO2Task 3I dont like the university s plan.Really? I ve ridden those buses and sometimes there were only a few people on the bus. It did seem like a kind of a waste.I see your point, but I think the problem is the route out of date. It only goes to the neighborhood that have gotten too expensive for students to live in. It is ridiculous that they have not already changed route, you know, so it goes where most off-campus students live now. I bet if they did that, they d get plenty of students riding those buses.Well, at least they are adding more parking, it has gotten really tough to find a space.That is the other part I do not like, actually. Cutting back the bus service and adding parking just encourage more students to drive on campus and that just adds to noise around campus and create more traffic. And that ll increase the need for more parking spaces.Yeah, I guess I can see your point. Maybe it would be better if more students use the buses instead of driving.Right. And the university should make it easier to do that, not harder.Task 4Okay, so we said that the way we interact others has an impact on our behavior. In fact, there is some interesting research to suggest that in one type of interaction, when we are being observed, specifically, when we know we are being watched as we performed some activity, we tend to increase the speed at which we perform that activity. In one study, college students were asked to each put on a pair of shoes, shoes with laces they would have to tie. Now , one group of students was told that they would be observed. The second group, however, didnt know they were being observed. The students who were aware that they were being watched, actually tied their shoes much faster than the students who thought their were alone. Other studies confirm the same is true, even when we are learning new activities. Lets say someone is learning a new task, for example, learning how to type. When they are conscious of being observed, they ll likely begin typing at a much faster rate than they would if they were alone. But and this is interesting, the study also showed that certain common behavior, things people typically do like making mistakes when youre learning something new. That behavior pattern will also increase. So in other words, when we are learning to type, and we know we are being watched, we all type faster but we ll also make more mistakes.Task 5Mary, I am so glad that I ran into you.Oh, hello, professor Jenson.Listen, I know its short notice and maybe you have already made the plans for spring break, but one of my students just dropped out of the field trip to the Smithson river caves. You are next on the waiting list, so now there is room for you to come along.You are kidding. I did not think there was a chance and well, it is a three day trip right? I agreed to spend next week helping professor Clark set up the new museum exhibition. I think she is really counting on me.Yeah, three days. But you know, if you d rather come on the field trip why not speak with her and see if she has any one to replace you. Yeah, I d hate to miss out on the caves. I ll definitely ask professor Clark if there is someone else could help her.You know we dont leave until Wednesday. If you still have to help out, any chance you could get the museum set up done before then.Oh, yeah, not until Wednesday, so then, yeah, maybe that s possible too.Task 6So, lets talk about money. What is money? Well, typically, people think of coins and paper bills as money. But that is using a somewhat narrow definition of the term. A broad definition is this: money is anything that people can use to make purchases with. Since many things can be used to make purchases, money can have many different forms. Certainly, coins and bills are one form of money. People exchange goods and services for coins or paper bills and they use this money these bills to obtain other goods and services. For example you might give a taxi driver five dollars to purchase a ride in his taxi. And he in turn gives the five dollar to a farmer to buy some vegetables. But as I said, coins and bills are not the only form of money under this broad definition. Some societies make use of a barter system. Basically, in a barter system, people exchange goods and services directly for other goods and services. The taxi driver, for example, might give a ride to a farmer in exchange for some vegetables. Since the vegetables are used to pay for a service, by a broad definition the vegetables are used in barter as a form of money. Now as I mentioned there is also a second, a narrower definition of money, in the United States, only coins and bills are legal tender, meaning that by law, a seller must accept them as payment. The taxi driver must accept coins or bills as payment for a taxi ride, okay? But in the U.S, the taxi driver is not required to accept vegetables in exchange for a ride. So a narrower definition of money might be whatever is legal tender in a society, whatever has to be accepted as payment.TPO3Task 3Do you believe any of these? Its ridiculous.What do you mean? Well, it is important to eat healthy food.Sure, it is. But they are saying yogurt is better for you than an omelet or than hot cereal? I mean whether something is hot or cold, that should not be the issue. Except maybe on a really cold morning, in that case which is going to be better for you, a bowl of cold cereal or a nice warm omelet? Its obvious; there is no question.I am not going to argue with you thereAnd this whole thing about saving money.What about it?Well, they are actually going to make things worse for us, not better. Because if they start cutting back and we cant get what we want right here on campus. Well we are going to be going off campus and pay off campus prices. And you know what? That will be expensive. Even if it is only two or three mornings a week ,it can add up. Task 4This is a true story, from my own life. In my first year in high school, I was addicted to video games. I played them all the time, and I was not studying enough. I was failing chemistry that was my hardest class. So this was a conflict for me, because I wanted a good job when I grew up, and I believed, I knew that if you wanted a good career, you got to do well in school. But I just could not give up video games. I was completely torn. And my solution was to change my perspective. See, the only class I was doing really badly in was chemistry, in the others, I was okay. So I asked myself if I wanted to be a chemist when I grew up. And the fact is I didnt. I was pretty sure I wanted to be a sociologist. So, I told myself my chemistry class didnt matter, because sociologists dont really need to know chemistry. In other words, I change my understanding of what I meant to do well in school. I reinterpreted my situation. I used to think that doing well in school meant doing well in all my classes. But now I decided that succeeding in school meant only doing well in the classes that related directly to my future career. I eliminated the conflict, at least in my mind.Task 5Hey, Maney! What s wrong?Oh, I am just struggling about what to do. I won an award from the creative writing institute for a story I wrote. And.That doesnt sound like anything is wrong.Well, it is a huge honor to win and there is an award ceremony they ve invited me to attend which I am so excited about. But, here is the frustrating, I ve got a biology exam that is scheduled for the same time.a.oh. Well, have you talked to your professor about this?Yeah, she said I could write a five page paper instead. And I have lots of ideas and know I could do a good job. But.But what?Well, writing a paper will take up so much time- a lot more time than studying for and taking the exam. I have lots of other school work to deal with. Oh, or you could have someone else receive the award for you, I mean go in your place and accept it on your behalf.Maybe I d still get the award and money that way.Woo, you won money too?Yeah, pretty cool, uhen? But any ways, my parents were really looking forward to coming and seeing me on the stage shaking hands with the institute s president and all. I d hate to disappoint them.True, I am sure they are really proud.Like I said, I am still struggling about what to do. Task 6In advertising, various strategies are used to persuade people to buy products. In order to sell more products, advertisers will often try to make us believe that a product will meet our needs or desires perfectly, even if it is not true. The strategies they use can be subtle. friendly forms of persuasion that are sometimes hard to recognize. In a lot of ads, repetition is a key strategy. Research shows that repeated exposure to a message even something meaningless or untrue is enough to make people accept it or see it in a positive light. You ve all seen the car commercials on TV like the one that refers to its roomy cars over and over again, you know which one I mean. This guy is driving around and he keeps stopping to pick up different people. He picks up three of four people. And each time, the narrator says plenty of room for friends, plenty of room for family, plenty of room for everybody. The same message is repeated several times in the course of the commercial. Now the car, the car actually looks a kind of small. It is not a very big car at all. But you get the sense that it is pretty spacious. You think that the viewer will reach the logical conclusion that the slogan misrepresent the product. Instead, what usually happens is that when the statement plenty of room is repeated often enough, people are actually convinced that it is true. Um, another strategy they use is to get a celebrity to advertise a product, it turns out that we are more likely to accept an advertising claim made by somebody famous. A person we admire and find appealing, we tend to think they are trustworthy. So you might have a car commercial that features a well known race car driver. Now, it may not be
