Task 1

INTEGRAED Great Zimbabwe石頭建筑群建造的purpose

閱讀材料觀點：

1. for storing grains;

2. gold mining place;

3. astronomical observatory;

聽力逐一反駁：

1. 外表看起來像storehouse, 其實inside只有two small rooms, moreover, no grains were found there;

2. radiation carbon finds that towers and walls were built before the gold mine was detected, 也就是說build towers and walls的時候人們不知道有gold;

3. Towers for observing stars require specific angles and distance, however, the Great Zimbabwe does not meet such requirements.

Task 2 INDEPENDENT 獨立寫作

話題類別 社會類

考題文字： Do you agree or disagree with the following statement?

The most important problem affecting our society today will be solved in our lifetime.

本次寫作考試點評：

本次新托福考試完全重復2011年3月4日北美考題。

本次的考題完全在預測中，北美考題的重復規律繼續在中國大陸的考試中得以體現。就難度而言，這次寫作考題的難度較大。綜合任務的話題和詞匯就會對考生的聽力造成較大的困難。而獨立寫作的社會類題目較為寬泛，反而不利于考生形成清晰的思路。綜合而言，如果考前看過預測寫過作文，那么將會獲得高分，如果沒有接觸過，那么獲得高分的難度較大。
