智课网TOEFL备考资料征服新托福口语之运用逻辑的力量 摘要： 托福口语以往考生们认为只要脱口流利即可的高分，事实上口语考试中考生的逻辑思维才是考试的重点所在，以下是小编与大家分享的征服新托福口语之运用逻辑的力量，希望对大家有帮助! 一、概念解释 从交流角度出发，说话者在发言的过程中使用的“信号弹”被证明能大大提高听者对所听内容的理解或把握度。新 托福 口语六个问题的后四个都属于综合题(Integrated Speaking Tasks)，能否对阅读和听力材料的重要信息进行合理转述是评分的一项重要指标。其中的Task4，是要求用听力中的具体例子来解释阅读中所涉及的某一抽象概念。考官在评分时，会以此为要求，着重关注考生是否在录音中按要求完成了“解释”这一任务。作为考生，当然就要故意去释放一些“信号弹”，引导考官快速理解自己的答案，识别出答案中符合要求的部分，进而给出相应得分，这才算是力气用在了刀刃上。那么如何做到这一点，到底什么是信号弹?读到这里，相信大家都已经有了答案，那就是逻辑词的使用，包括表示句与句之间让步转折、因果、递进、举例、解释、条件、比较和对比等关系的词。由此就产生出相应的几大状语从句。需要提出的是，由于Task4话题会有不同，那么答题过程中用到各种状语从句的概率也就不同，切不可一概而论。下面，通过两个不同类型的Task4考题实例，讲解以上从句的用法，以此体现以状语从句在 新托福 口语答题中的重要作用。 For thousands of years, humans have been able to domesticate, or tame, many large mammals that in the wild live together in herds. Once tamed, these mammals are used for agricultural work and transportation. Yet some herd mammals are not easily domesticated. A good indicator of an animal’s suitability for domestication is how protective the animal is of its territory. Non-territorial animals are more easily domesticated than territorial animals because they can live close together with animals from other herds. A second indicator is that animals with a hierarchical social structure, in which herd members follow a leader, are easy to domesticate, since a human can function as the “leader.” 听力材料： So we’ve been discussing the suitability of animals for domestication . . . particularly animals that live together in herds. Now, if we take horses, for example . . . in the wild, horses live in herds that consist of one male and several females and their young. When a herd moves, the dominant male leads, with the dominant female and her young immediately behind him. The dominant female and her young are then followed immediately by the second most important female and her young, and so on. This is why domesticated horses can be harnessed one after the other in a row. They’re “programmed” to follow the lead of another horse. On top of that, you often
