智课网TOEFL备考资料托福听力场景分类训练之历史文本 摘要： 《托福听力场景分类训练之历史》此材料是马骏老师在课上的讲义中的——场景分类。ETS北美的PBT的试题简介，被ETS授权给泰德时代于2003年出版了31套真题。因为是经过授权出版的，所以声音质量与考场一致，这个材料虽然没有我们能得到的国内的PBT试题多，但是声音质量远远好于国内的PBT(因为是大家在考场上偷录的)。 以我接触学生的经验来看，备考听力者比较痛苦的莫过于对场景陌生和对专业场景里的词汇头疼，所以这个声音质量完美的材料，我把它划分成了场景：campus类、历史类、生物类、地球科学类、天文学类、人体生理心里累、人类学类、语言学类、和商业类，供大家同一场景连续突破。 本材料使用建议是听写——跟读。文章里涉及的词汇要全部掌握，耳朵和眼睛。 TPO 1 Lecture 1 Contemporary art Listen to part of a lecture in a contemporary art class.
