2、e save money. 为什么人们很难省下钱，你觉得人们可以有什么省钱的好办法。参考答案 In modern society, it seems that more money people earn, muchharder it is for them to save financially. The reason for this phenomenon is,according to my opinion, that more and more sophisticated and user-friendlyproducts, like iPhone, appear and compan

3、ies sold them at higher price, whichattracted consumers attention and allured them to pay more for such gadgets.From my perspective, first of all, making a budget is the most useful way. Forexample, if your salary is $5000, you could put 2500 aside as savings. Whats more,second-hand products still f

4、unction well, but the price is comparatively much lowerthan that of first-hand ones. You could buy a second-hand Ford car with only $500while it costs $1000 to get a new one.Task 2内容回忆 Nowadays, some parents prefer homeschooling to sending theirchildren to school. What do you think? 有些国家通过了 homescho

5、ol，谈一谈你对于这件事情的看法。参考答案 In my point of view, if parents are well-educated and they are familiarwith educational psychology and teaching skills, I strongly suggest that theirchildren be educated at home. These parents could educate their kids themselvesor employ professionals in the education field to

6、instruct the kids, since parentsknow their children better than school teachers. You know, parents stay andinteract with them since their childrens babyhood, so they could find the mostsuitable way teaching their kids.In addition, parents could focus all of their attention on their own kids, so as t

7、o meet their personal needs, which could not be met at school where one teacher has to take care of more than 10 students.Task 3学校图书馆为研究生开设了一片 private area。原因 1：里面有单独的桌椅。原因 2：可以锁门让学生把东西留在那里。听力女生同意，她认为研究生经常要写 research paper 需要很多资料，每天来回搬很麻烦，现在可以留在图书馆了。而且对于单独桌椅她也同意，因为她觉得研究生不像本科生需要交流，她们更希望自己能专注不被打扰。Task

8、 4Animal and plants occupy at different level。定义：当一个生态系统里的最高级 Predator 消失后所带来的一系列影响。听力 例子：在北美有一个区域一种动物以捕食鹿维生。不过当公路开通后很多游客来旅游，很多车辆到来，这种动物就离开了这篇区域，鹿的数量就增加。数量增加的鹿又吃了一种树，然后树变少就导致了依赖树的鸟无法生存，生物链一环一环影响下去，导致生态系统有了很大变化。Task 5问题一个女孩子要去加州为姐姐的婚礼弹一个大提琴 chelo，飞机运去加州她怕损坏。解决方案 1：可以买一个很贵的盒子来放乐器优点：盒子以后还是可以用的，自己的乐器音色好

10、 TPO5 的综合写作比较接近，练习过该题的学生应该不会觉得太难。本题重复了大陆 2015 年 7 月 4 日的考题。独立写作是生活类话题，关于家庭成员定期一起吃饭是否重要，考生一般不会在思路上出现明显的障碍，但是例证方面可能会落入只有个人经历的俗套，这就要求考生能够掌握多种例证方式。本题重复了2014 年 11 月 8 日的考题。值得注意的是，本次考试的综合写作和独立写作部分都重复了过去的考题，建议考生可以关注一下近几年的托福写作机经。综合写作话题分类：历史类考题回忆：总论点关于苏格兰的 Brochs 的用途，阅读提出了三个可能的猜想，听力一一予以反驳。阅读部分1. 提供像城堡一样的防御2.

11、 储存食物3. 为贵族提供居住地听力部分1. 这种石墙没有窗户，没法射击前来攻击的敌人，因此不可能是防御工事2. 这里面有 water tank，可能会使得食物腐烂，并且这里面有生火做饭的痕迹，如果真是粮仓，会引发火灾3. Brochs 有的是单独存在于较远的地方，有的是以 group 的形式存在的。而贵族不可能群居，也不可能住在较远的地方解题思路本题重复了大陆 2015 年 7 月 4 日的考题，同时 TPO5 的综合写作也和这道题目比较相似，考生可以参考。参考范文：The reading and the listening have a debate on the purpose ofSc

12、otland Brochs. The listening refutes all three hypotheses proposed by thereading.First, the reading suggests that these brochs are used as a defense becausethey have thick and high walls. However, the listening argues that defense structureusually have windows so that people can shoot arrows against

13、 perpetrators, inorder to repel attackers from getting closer, but these brochs do not have anywindows.Second, the reading believes brochs to be food storage. However, the listeningcasts doubt on this, by saying that there are water tanks in the brochs. This mightspoil the food stored in them since

14、moisture tends to accelerate food decaying.Also, there is evidence of cooking inside the brochs, but cooking can easily causefire, which again damage the food.Finally, the reading argues that these brochs could be the residence of thechieftains and leaders of the tribes. However, according to the sp

15、eaker, this claimdoes not hold water, either. Normally, leaders live near their people, but brochs are isolated from villages. Also, brochs are built in clusters, but people certainly do not need so many leaders living close to each other.独立写作话题分类：生活类考题回忆：Do you agree or disagree with the following

16、statement? Nowadays itis not important for family members to regularly have meals together. Use specificreasons and examples to support your idea.解题思路：和家人一起吃饭这件事情考生肯定经常做，但是很少有人会考虑这件事情是否重要。如果觉得重要，常见的理由包括：增进亲情，交流近况，尊重传统等;而不重要的理由往往是有代沟，怕麻烦和浪费时间。考生在举例的时候可以使用个人经历，也可以使用假设性的事例，甚至是统计数据等。Disagree- not import

17、ant-generation gap-geographical barrier-reduced efficiencyAgree- important-strength family bond-exchange news-get advice-follow the customs-keep healthy参考范文：With the accelerating pace of life, many people now are striving tokeep a balance between life and work. As a result, some of them attach littl

18、eimportance to family meals, arguing that they can hardly spare time for a familyget-together. However, in my opinion, it is still important for family members tohave meals together regularly, since the meal encompasses more than simply food.First, having meals with our family means we can exchange

19、news with otherfamily members, which translates into a stronger family bond. As we all know,family meals always involve casual chat with family members over ones recentdevelopment. In this way, we can get to know what others have done, are doing orare going to do. By exchanging personal news like th

20、is, we strengthen our familybond. For example, over a family meal on Saturday, the son may accidentallymention that he has made a first try on playing ice hockey this week and finds itfascinating. The father, being a big fan of ice hockey, is likely to keep a mind tag and may either take his son to

21、practice or to watch a match. Eventually, the father and the son can form a strong bond between themselves.Second, regular family gatherings over meals allow us to seek advice fromother family members. Normally, when someone faces an important decision or apuzzling problem, he or she turns to others

22、 for advice, and no occasion can bebetter than a casual family meal on which one can ask for advice without feelingembarrassed. For example, when the husband hints that he has been given achance to work at an overseas branch, but was hesitant on this decision, because he is not sure whether this wil

23、l put his wife under too much pressure, the wife may encourage him to seize the chance by telling him that she would certainly like to move to a new country so that she can experience different culture. Or if she really dislikes the idea, she can also wave it off or voice her own opinion in a casual

24、 way.Finally, eating regularly with our family helps us to keep healthy. For one thing,family meals usually follow a fixed schedule, which means one takes a certain mealat a certain time of the day. However, these days, when people are eating alone or attending a business banquet, they tend to eat t

25、oo late or skip one or two meals for lack of time. This unhealthy lifestyle can certainly lead to some diseases related to digestion. For another, as family meals are often eaten at home, rather than at restaurants, we can eat healthier food. This is because home-made food often does not contain so

26、much fat, salt or sugar as food at restaurants. Also, eating at home does not involve a lot of alcohol, which is quite common in business settings,especially in China. In the long run, we can easily keep our blood pressure and body fat at a normal level by eating regularly with our family at home.In

27、 conclusion, despite our ever tighter schedule, it is still important for us tosqueeze time for family meals on a regular basis, as it allows us to exchange news,seek advice and keep healthy.1月6日托福听力真题回忆：Conversation：1.男生来图书馆询问为什么网站的 link 没法用了他用 link 找期刊。女生回答说是外包的某些数据库停止提供期刊了。不过不是所有的都停了。男生目前在做一个关于乔治
