本聽力材料來自于老托partb，partc，是公認實施有效的聽寫材料，對于上手托福時間不長的同學非常適合。我曾經一次短時間備考聽力提高了7分也歸功老托。希望大家和我一樣一定要堅持下來噢。相信堅持學習的同學聽力上都會有很大的飛躍！

Nopain, no gain.我們的安排是這樣的，第一遍用聽力軟件精聽材料（建議做單句聽寫，聽寫的時候不要偷看我給的挖空題），然后按照我給的挖空題填關鍵詞，回復后即可看到聽力原文和文章精解，我將把難點和易錯點oneby one 分析給大家。

回復填空答案格式如下：1____2____3____...et.al.

In the seventeenth century, the______here thatched their roofs with______and______, just as they had done in England. After a while, though, they began to replace the thatch with wooden______because wood was so plentiful. And eventually, other roofing materials like stone,______, and______came into use. It's a real shame that most people today don't realize how strong and long lasting a thatched roof is.
