看来nait是掐着我的考试时间给的duetime,先谢过了！
再上一个链接：http://bbs.taisha.org/thread-688451-1-1.html

我的音频是几个月前下的，现在已不确切记得清楚的是从哪里抠出来的。我下的老托福单句听力那种，听的效果terrible;toefl89-05真题just fine;不记得是从哪里下得老托福听力partc共93篇,效果pretty good.

one more little asking, was that exam so hard? what's for graph writing?

谢谢！！！
图表作文是关于男女在不同年龄组参加户外活动的比例。
至于考试难度，不同的人有不同的感觉。我认为听力较难，主要原因：
1、前3部分易落入陷阱，考完后，我自我感觉应该能过，但是没过，我想我是落入陷阱了。
而lecture部分，语速较快，容易听了后面的，忘了前面的。
2、听力的提高是一个长期的过程，又和词汇、俚语、语音、语法等诸多因素相关，所以较难。
当然，对于很多听力好的人就不难。
写、读、说均比我想象的容易很多。
再次感谢！！！
祝顺利过关！！！（因为分数再高也没有用，又不取平均值，哈哈

）

确实是这样，听力前面30个小题看似简单，但有些答案比较模糊，容易落入陷阱，可怕，我有同感。

Six.
Six? That's quite a heavy load.  Any particular reason?
I have to drop my chemistry course last semester when I went into the hospital, so I need to take it again,
So you've already learnt a lot of the material.
Right. And calculus is a part of the second year requirement.
Let's see,  Chemistry ,Calculus.  Oh I see you'll be in my seminar on the
modern American novel.
Yes, I'm looking forward to it and the romantic poetry seminar, too. Two seminars? That is rather a lot. Can you handle the work?
I think so. The introductory economics is fairly easy and so is the music course.
Well, then I'll be happy to sign the card.  However, I insist that you come see me after the first week of classes so we can make sure this isn’t too much for you.
That's a promise.
36. Where does this conversation most probably take place? 37.When does this conversation take place?
38. Why has the woman come to see Dr. Tyler?
39. Why did the woman drop her chemistry course?
40. What does Dr. Tyler seem most concerned about?

Questions 41-45
We are rapidly nearing the end of this course in the history of classical music. We have covered several centuries in a very short time. Much too short to do the music justice, of course, but then this is a survey course. From now until the end of the term, we’II be talking about and listening to electronic music You probably already know it was in the 1930 s that musical computers and synthesizers first appeared in universityies. The first commercial synthesizers were sold about this time, too. The sophistication and complexity of these instruments has now increased to the point that they can produce almost any kind of sound. Some alarmists believe these new instruments will bring an end to classical music or they've already have You know I don't share this view, though I agree we are in the midst of a revolution in instrument design. This, however, is not the first such revolution in musical history and probably not the last one either. Remember we’ve already studied a similar case in the early nineteenth century when The piano replaced the harpsichord and modern brass and wind instruments came into being.
One of the most important reasons for the great popularity of electronic instruments is of course their relatively cheap price. Well, just look at it. Only about 400 dollars for an electronic keyboard compared to nearly 3000 dollars for a piano. Naturally, this has done a lot to increase sales of electronic instruments. But I don't think even the most ardent supporters of electronic instruments expect them to completely replace acoustic instruments.
41. What is the speaker's main topic?
42. At what point in the semester is this talk being given?
43. What is the speaker's opinion of the idea that electronic instruments will destroy classical music?
44. When does the speaker say that another significant change in instrument design took place?
45. According to the speaker, how does the price of the electronic keyboard compared with the price of the piano?
Questions 46- 50
The volcanic ash from the eruption of Mount Saint Helens certainly caused a lot of damage, didn't it? It did, but not as much as experts have predicted. It seems to have had a beneficial effect as well. Really? But weren't crop losses great? Yes, However, since the weather following the eruptions was unexpectedly good, some crop yields remain steady or even increased beyond normal expectancy level. I'm glad to hear that. But what was the beneficial effect you mentioned?
A mass destruction of various insect populations.
How could the ash have killed insects without affecting people too? It's highly abrasive and quickly wears away the outer wax layer protecting insect bodies. Removal of that layer causes insects to lose body moisture by evaporation, the result is usually lethal. How about that! Sounds like an effective yet natural insecticide.
46. What is the main topic of the conversation?
47. According to the woman, what was the extent of crop damage?
48. What beneficial result did the volcanic ash have?
49. What can be inferred about the effect of volcanic ash on people?
50. What is the man's attitude toward the information?

Part C
Q36-39( talk, nutrition)
Last week I told you about how the body uses vitamin C and foods that contain vitamin C, such as citrus fruit & tomatoes. Now I want to discuss Vitamin D which is important to human nutrition  because it helps the body to absorb Calcium. Calcium as you know is  essential for maintaining heatyl bones & teeth. Vitamin D deficiency can lead to serious bone diseases. So in the United States it is added to milk, a staple food in most people's diet. Vitamin D is sometimes called the sunshine vitamin. That' s because the  body requires sunlight in order to make use of it. Here's how it works: when ultraviolet rays from the sun strike the vitamin D in our SKIN,  the sunlight converts vitamin D to its active form &  a substance called calciferol is produced. Calciferol is what  carries  the calcium to our bones. If our bodies are not exposed to ultraviolet rays from the sun we cannot convert vitamin D to it's active form, and thus cannot make use of any of the calcium that we  have consumed in our food . Eventually we would suffer FROM A  calcium deficiency and have weak bones. Luckily it takes only 10 to 20 minutes of exposure to sunlight a day to ensure sufficient vitamin D production. Except in  extremely atmospheric conditions like very heavy smog or a sunless climate, most people are able to get enough exposure to the sun. Doctors recommend that people who don't drink very much milk take vitamin  supplements and that everyone spend at least 10 minutes in the sun everyday.
36. Why is vitamin D important?
37. In the United States, what is the main source of vitamin D for most people?
38. What is necessary to convert vitamin D to it's active form?
39. According to the speaker, what might happen to the  people who stay in doors all the time?

Q40 - 43 Conversation between two friends
Hey! You got a new television.
Yeah! It was delivered yesterday, what do you think of it?
It's huge. It practically takes up the entire side of the room.
I know.  I know, you don't think it's, well, excessive, do you?
I didn't say that. I mean, if you enjoy it, why not? What happened to your old TV, anyhow?
It just stopped working last Friday. It was pretty old & didn't work well, I thought you can afford it, why not get a new one?
It must've been expensive?
Well, not as much as you might think. I got it on sale for 50% off
Really? Where?
At the stereo city on Route 20. You know at first I just wanted to replace what I had. A TV of about the same size & quality. But the salesman was pushing these because of the 50% off.
Yeah.  But 50% off  what?
2,400 dollars.
You spent  $ 1,200 on a TV?
It's got a lot of special features. Look at this remote control.
I'm sure. But that's still a lot of money for a television. I didn't think you watch TV that much.
Well, I don't. Do you think I ought to return it? If I do it within a week of purchase, I can get my money back.
Honestly, yes. And you know what, and I think you ought to read up on TV’s first and choose the make & model you want before you go to the store. That way you will get what you want.
I think you are right.
40. What is the main topic of the conversation?
41. What does the woman suggest the man do?
42. What will the man probably do as a result of the conversation?

Q44 - 47 Talk (astronomy discovery)
As you begin your study of the heavens, you may feel that the odds of your making any impact on the field of astronomy are impossibly low. But in fact important breakthroughs can come from student work. You may have heard in the media that the examples of one of the most illusive objects in the cosmos the brown dwarf were found by a 27 - year - old student Clare Briadger. Scientists all over the world had been searching for more than 50 years and yet the discovery was made by someone still in graduate school. When Ms. Briadger presented a paper at the meeting of the American Astronomical Society, her talk was for me the highlight of the meeting. There was considerable agreement that what she had found was indeed the illusive Brown Dwarf. For those of you who don' t yet know, Brown Dwarfs are these gaseous bodies that are too large to be planets, but not massive enough to ignite into full - blown stars. While others spent their time studying what shows up big and bright in the heavens, Ms. Briadger searched for the small and faint. She spent about 2 years at a computer scanning and classifying pin- points of light within clusters of stars. She sometimes worked 100 hours in a single week. Then finally she was able to isolate a number of points that seemed to be actual Brown Dwarfs. Her discovery may help to explain how stars form and thus answer some of our questions about the ultimate of the universe.
44.Whom is the speaker probably addressing?
45.What does the speaker mean when she talks about making an impact on the field of astronomy?
46.Who made the discovery that is being discussed?
47.Why are Browfs Dwarves important?

Q48 50 (Conversation)
Hey, Sam! You should take a look at this article about Canadian scorpion
I didn't know there were scorpions in Canada. I thought they only lived in deserts.
Well, the deadly Kind do. Like in Arizona and New Mexico.
I thought all scorpion were dangerous.
No, only about 25 kinds are lethal to humans, Actually there are over 1,500 different species. But only one lives in Canada.
Where in Canada? Not around here?
Well, mostly Sakatchewan and Alberta. But yeah, right here in British Columbia too.
Is the Canadian kind poisonous?
Not for humans. Supposedly their sting is no worse than a bee's. Anyway scorpions are all over the place. They can live in just about any climate. In fact the only continent where they don't live is Antarctica.
Why? Is it too cold there?
There must be other reasons. Because according to this article  scorpions can withstand conditions that'd probably kill most other animals. Scientists did all these Experiments, like the scorpion was frozen in a block of ice for 3 weeks and when they melted the ice, it just walked away.
It was still alive?
Yeah. But what's most amazing is that they also survived the radiation levels 200 times what would kill a human. No wonder  they’ve outlived the dinosaurs.
Listen. I've gotta run. But I really like a copy of that article.
No problem. I'll make one for you.
48. How did the woman learn about the scorpions?
49. Where do the two students probably live?
50. What did the scientists experiments show about the scorpion?

题和以前TX说的差不多。
提高听说可参考“listening & speaking skills for the revised Cambridge proficiency exam ”这套教材，能掌握些答题的思路。其实无所谓什么题，只要思路按照格式走，结果大差不差。
另外看了一本MACMILLAN出的“improve your ielts listening and speaking skills”,对最后那个听力部分有些许帮助。
写作是较简单的a graph writing
& one of TWE-185,可以参考Barron's TOEFL Writing找点思路。
阅读老一套是“生态环保”话题，和新托福阅读有点像，喜欢考察词汇结合上下文理解，but much easier.

4月14号考的，把自己记得的分享一下：

口语 1、图片是父子俩抱着满满的超市购物袋刚进家门，妈妈微笑着注视着父子俩
2、问题解决题是问你刚买了一辆车，但是学校的停车场已经没有多余的车位出租了，你怎么办？
3、阅读后总结题是说一个人骗保的事情。这个人出了车祸后为了骗保险公司的高额保险而把自己的伤情夸大，讨论诚信与实际利益的问题。

特别提示：我是拿来老托福的真题来复习的，但是考到听力的时候完全懵了，没见过那种题型，五道题之后反应过来是怎么回事，才开始进入状态，题目本身非常简单，只是题型很怪，最后一个lecture不难但是语速比较快，本来以为搞砸了，考出来成绩还行。

阅读不说了，跟托福不在一个层次上，害得我做了五十多篇真题，白费功夫。

写作典型的雅思图表题型，比较惨，因为没有考过雅思，胡乱写了。

成绩阅读A听力A写作B+口语B 总算没白瞎120刀

lyhwster: 恭喜你啊，成绩很棒！比我考得好。

沟通个事吧，我的Nait account里NESL单项class detail老是显示50%Non credit,是什么意思啊？看不懂！
另外，得到预录取信了吗？还让交个什么$250押金，还不退，你那里有这样情况吗？感觉别扭呢？录就录，不录就不录，干吗总是给我发恐吓语气的信，“如果你不怎的怎的，我们就cancel掉你”，好烦人啊。。。。。。
