下面是小编为大家整理的托福听力的3点小经验（共含5篇），仅供大家参考借鉴，希望大家喜欢!同时，但愿您也能像本文投稿人“电风扇发风”一样，积极向本站投稿分享好文章。
1. 磨耳朵。
这需要精听，即听抄。这是提高听力能力的捷径。至于精听材料，我很郑重的说，没有什么比scientific american更好的了。首先他语速快，另外这个段子时间短，精听不贵多而贵精。时间太长的段子反而花时间太多，效率就低了，不值。而且它背景很符合toefl，主要是学术上的新发现什么的，也有助于积累科技英语听力中的常用词。
2听结构。
lecture之类的听力，其文稿本身就带有科技英语的风格。完全可以拿分析阅读的套路来分析它：注意top sentence ，碰到例证则关注其特殊人名地名什么的，然后完了留意实验结束后的conclusion啊; 遇到强对比，留意比较对象和不同点啊; TS和段尾往往出主旨题啊，罗列的特殊人名地名则针对细节题什么的，等等等等.....
这里我是照搬“花儿的GRE阅读39+3”。她的分析思路我觉得很有帮助，没考过G的也可以借来看看(或者toefl有类似的书也行，不过我没用过，不清楚)，就看前面的讲解就行了，花不了多长时间。主要是从结构上把握材料，区分重点，对阅读听力都有帮助的。
3统计题型，分析题目意图。
我们的思维和老外不一样。所以会有这种情况，即使文章你懂了，题目你还是错了。这种题目你要高度留心。可以在模考的时候统计一下哪一类的题目容易错，然后针对性训练。 分类可以参照og，它上面告诉你每一题考查的目的是什么，有的考察大意，有的题考察细节，有的考察人物对话的隐含语意。总之，对于你的惯错题型，最后一定要熟悉到一旦它出现，你就认得它，并且知道它考的意图;这样错误的概率就会下降了。
听力是托福考试中最容易拿满分也是最不容易拿满分的题型?为什么这么说呢?如果童鞋你都能听懂，拿满分对你来说不成问题，不需要跟口语&写作一样发表自己的观点，只要能分析正确题目即可;但是很多童鞋在托福听力考试中都觉得听不准，这又是为什么呢?只能听懂一半题目怎么办?那些托福听力满分又是如何修炼的呢?
考点1、conversation：段落开头提到的原因必考(30S)---problem/question, 结尾的建议必考(尾巴题)。
考点2、段落开头提到的本次主题必考—TODAY， 段落结尾的点评和总结必考proof 的点评。
考点3、段落中重复两次的地方必考---通常为本节课的要点，师生各重复一次的地方必考，注意在笔记中划双线，重复两次的名词必考，一般重复的名词是AB 项的替换词。
考点4、段落中的强调句型，多引出分论点，时考点：
This is the first time…
One thing important is…
The most important thing…
You should remember/notice/bear in mind/keep in mind---converSATion 引出建议的句型
考点5、针对上下文明显的肯定或者否定的回答必考definitely, abusolutely,exactly, it’s a good question, excellent question, 注意听好PROF 在这些回答之后的解释，一定会对重要内容作同义的重复。
考点6、段中主论点下有定义加举例的必考(配对表格题)----dolphin in the forest, 罗列多个事实处必考，是非型表格题，说明多个程序，步骤的必考(排序型表格题中间的步骤一定注意：then, so, ok, well, replace, the next stage…
考点7、难点的解释说明必考(核心概念)----小黑板，带字的笔记本，只要出小黑板都会有停顿。
注意引导词it refers to, that is, that means, which means, This is to say, in other words, in another words, by that he meant, let me make it clear, let me make it simpler, let’s put it this way, let’
考点8、段中引用的观点必考，---对应都是对分论点的看法，think/argue/believe, 一定有小黑板，或者人物肖像。
考点9、形容词和副词最高级后面的点重要，the most important, biggest, 因为是形容重要特点。
考点10、一定注意PROF 跑题的内容，话题的转移，布置作业，一回再谈，我打算先谈些什么，谈一下个人的经历-----语义理解。
考点11、proof 对学生的警告或指令必考—重听—conversation 表建议，lecture中表强调重点。
考点12、托福出题的顺序和文章顺寻完全一致，一定注意干扰选项---后面的内容提到本题作为干扰项出现。
考点13、一定注意PROF 的点评—作为尾巴题出现what does the prof think of…
以上就是考点总结希望童鞋们在练习时要提前预测考点便于笔记，听完之后要对照出题点和笔记的吻合度。这样才能提高听力练习的有效性和针对性。

托福听力场景之艺术场景分析
一、艺术场景细分
艺术类场景的细分就比较复杂了。首先，艺术类可以简单分为：艺术家及艺术形式，艺术史(art history)，艺术理论，艺术保护(art conservation)这四个话题。其中，艺术形式涉及的内容就更多了，按目前TPO里的讲座来看，具体的艺术形式可以有：电影、歌剧、诗歌、散文、话剧、建筑、雕塑、绘画、音乐及乐器、舞蹈等。这个话题主要是说艺术家及其风格特色;艺术史着重的是与艺术有关的人或事情的发展，历史价值;艺术理论比较抽象，我们可以这么理解，如果艺术家和艺术形式是在讲具体的画，画中的景，景用的颜色等，那么艺术理论就是在说，颜色要怎么调，景色要怎么选…;艺术保护类的文章，顾名思义，不仅说具体的艺术品，还会讨论如何保护不会损坏，如何修复。
二、艺术场景难度分析
艺术场景难度起伏比较大，有的时候会比较简单，有的时候也是噩梦。
词汇难度
首先，从场景词汇的角度去说，由于具体的场景可以有非常多的细分，因此，艺术类场景的词汇非常繁杂。
比如，绘画这个场景中常出现的词汇有：brush 画笔;canvas 帆布、画布;sketch 素描、描绘;figure人物;gallery 画廊;pigment 颜料……
文学类的文章中常出现的词汇有：chapter 章节;biography 传纪;fiction 小说;character 人物;tale 故事;plot 情节……
电影类的文章中常出现的词汇有：edit 编辑;sciencefiction 科幻;costume 戏服;Narration 旁白……
简单以上面三个具体话题为例，我们发现，不同的场景里最常出现的词汇都不太一样，因为这些具体的艺术类型本身区别也比较大。词汇的繁杂也就体现在这里，因为艺术类场景所涉及的具体艺术形式有很多，且词汇相互重复率不高，因此要灵活掌握的单词数量也不少。
除了词汇数量之外，很多艺术类词汇还体现了另外一个特点：一词多义，或者说熟词僻义。
比如说，TPO 1的第1篇讲油画的讲座中就出现了N次movement这个词，“so, you‘ve probably studies both of these movements, separately, separatemovements, realism and impressionism in some of your art history courses…”, ”thisgives her an understanding of body movements and actions, how humans move andstand still”这两个句子当中movement明显不是同一个意思，后一句中的movement是常见的“移动”的意思，但第一个句子中的movement的意思，就绝对不是移动，根据上下文，应该是类似style的意思。当然，后句中still也是熟词僻义，表示静止的意思。朗阁海外考试研究中心的专家在研究和跟踪考试的过程中发现，艺术类中的一词多义最多，比如setting, 常见意思为“设置”，艺术里表示“背景”，这还算是一个艺术场景中比较普遍的词汇;pattern, 常见意思为“模式”，还有“花纹”的意思;vibrant, 常见意思为“有生命力的”，艺术讲座中还有“明亮”的意思，比如vibrant color; hero, 在艺术类文章中还可以表示“男主角”。
文章难度
艺术类文章难度浮动大也就体现在这一方面。
一般来说，讲艺术家及艺术形式的文章是相对比较简单的，虽然艺术类的大背景很多同学不算熟悉，但ETS选择的艺术家、艺术品、艺术风格基本都是比较易于接受和理解的，比较生活化的。比如说，在绘画类的讲座中，有提过梵高，有提过莫奈，有提过很多著名的画家，他们的风格和作品都是普通人可以理解的，但没有提过毕加索，因为他老人家的风格就是没有固定的风格，他的画很多人看着也不理解，听了讲解也似懂非懂，他的画体现的内容还有社会的扭曲这样抽象、深层次的内容，他的造诣很高，但很多作品不大众化。一般来说，艺术家及艺术形式类文章不会找这些如此不大众化的内容，而且，作为语言类考试，虽然会有讲具体艺术专业的内容，但一般不会考到。同样以TPO 1中的第1篇讲座为例，文章中有讲述具体的某幅油画是怎么画的，这样的内容出现了3次，“It’s anoutdoor scene, an everyday scene. It’s kind of bleak(画面萧条), which you can really see those broad brushstrokes(笔触很宽)and the blurry lines(线条模糊).”和“Impressionist painters tended to apply paintreally thickly(油彩有的厚), and in big brushstrokes(大笔触), so the texture of the canvas was rough.”以及“the background of the painting, this woman with the pumpkins，is wrapped in a blanket of broad thick brushstrokes(画的背景就是以厚厚宽宽的笔触画上去的一层油彩), and, it’s all kinds of zigzagging brushstrokes(锯齿状笔触)and lines, kind of chaotic almost when you look atit close. And there are vibrant colors. There’s lots of orange, with littlehints of an electric blue peeking out(点缀着星星点点的闪电蓝).” 以上这么多内容，说法虽专业，但一个字也没有考到!综上，讲艺术家及艺术形式的文章对于词汇量没什么大问题的考生来说算是不难的。
艺术史同样也是比较容易的，艺术史当中强调的是历史，有的时候会结合具体的艺术家，艺术风格进行分析，比如TPO 3的第2篇讲座，讲电影史的，就有提到两个不同的电影制作家，以及各自的风格;而有时，艺术史就单纯的在讲历史事件的发生或者发展，比如TPO 8的第2篇讲座，讲艺术史的，就是在讲女子艺术学校的发展，没有提到具体的艺术作品或者艺术风格。只要单词不是硬伤，这类文章也很好理解。
而讲艺术理论和艺术保护的文章，可能就没前两种那么简单了。虽然没有哪篇艺术类文章开头说的是“Listen to part of a lecture in an art theoryclass”，但艺术理论类的文章确实不一样，其中不牵涉到具体的艺术风格、艺术作品、艺术家，就是单纯在讲理论，比如，TPO 27的第4篇讲座，就是在讲3原色的理论;托福听力机经中也有出现过考golden ratio黄金分割的理论及其应用。这些文章之所以难，原因之一是比较抽象，当然，如果本身对于内容背景，比如三原色理论或者黄金分割的概念非常清楚的，那听力理解肯定比较充分。但对于背景知识不是很了解的考生，这样抽象的文章，就会听得似懂非懂，这就好比去听这样的一句话“The term cognition refers to mental states likeknowing and believing, and to mental process that we use to arrive at thosestates”, 词汇都没问题，翻译过来的意思是：认知这个术语指的是心理状态，比如知道，或者相信，同样也指心理过程，通过这些心理过程会达到之前说的心理状态。且不论英文，中文的意思都比较抽象，不具体，没例子，所以理解起来肯定会有困难。在ETS发布的官方指南(OG)中，对于听力22分以上的考生是认定为水平高的考生，而ETS认为高水平的考生具备的听力能力当中就有这么一条：“understand abstract or complex ideas”，因此意思抽象的文章绝非偶然，是肯定会有的，是ETS安排好的来考察考生听力能力高低的一项。
当然，除了意思抽象之外，艺术理论类的文章还有一个难点，同样也是艺术保护类文章的难点：学科交叉内容比较多。在OG中，就有这样的要求，考生需要“understanddifferent kinds of material on a variety of topics”，这指的就可以是学科交叉。学科交叉就是指会涉及到其他学科的内容，比如TPO 15的第3篇讲座，讲的是阿基米德重写稿的保存和恢复，其中的保存部分就涉及到了物理的内容，ultraviolet light, X-ray等这样的词汇和概念;同样刚刚提过的TPO 27的第4篇讲3原色的讲座，也讲到了心理学(psychology, emotions)，物理学(spectrum, wave length)。学科交叉的难点在于对于听力细节把握的要求比较高，容错率比较低，如果有些内容没听懂，很有可能就不理解学科间是如何转换的，不理解艺术类的文章怎么就突然说到物理的光谱、波长，这样一来，对文章的理解就会有不到位，毕竟“recognize how pieces of information are connected”也是OG中给出的托福听力高分要点之一。
三、如何应对艺术类场景难点
如果艺术类场景词汇有所欠缺，最好的方式不是买本单词书去背，而是利用“学科听力法”，即不按TPO 1, 2, 3, 4, 5…这样的顺序去听，而是按话题去听，把艺术类话题的讲座都找出来，短时间内练习完，那么重要的、常见的单词肯定会在数篇文章中不止一次的听见，从而加深印象。当然，为了应对艺术类文章中的一词多义或者熟词僻义，那就需要在对文章理解的过程中不得过且过，抓住每一个理解不顺的细节，因为如果有内容理解不顺，肯定说明它不是你想的那个意思。对于眼熟，但是意思说不太通的单词，一定要有耐心去翻字典查一查。
而如果是文章内容抽象，或者文章学科交叉现象多的，不仅需要多听艺术类的文章，而且还要多听其他话题的文章，比如心理学类型的文章通常都比较抽象，可以多听多体会，而艺术类场景比较容易涉及到另外几个场景，比如，考古、物理、心理，也要利用“学科听力法”多多练习。

托福写作：3点建议
建议一： 避免空洞的单词和词组
1. 一些空洞的单词或词组根本不能为句子带来任何相关的或重要的信息，完全可以被删掉。比如下面的句子：
When all things are considered, young adults of today live more satisfying lives than those of their parents, in my opinion.
这句话当中的“when all things are considered”和“in my opinion“都显得多余。完全可以去掉。改为：
Young adults of today live more satisfying lives than their parents.
2. 有些空洞和繁琐的表达方式可以进行替换，例如：
Due to the fact that our grandparents were under an obligation to help their parents, they did not have the options that young people have at this point in time.
“due to the fact that”就是一个很典型的繁琐的表达方式的例子，可以替换，简化为下面的表达方式：
Because our grandparents were obligated to help their parents, they did not have the options that young people have now.
建议二： 避免重复
1. 尽量避免重复使用同样的词汇。或者有的时候虽然词汇没有重复，但意思却有重复。这时候可以做一些简化的工作。例如下面这个例子：:
The farm my grandfather grew up on was large in size.
large 对一个farm来说就是size方面的large，所以in size可以去掉，改为：
The farm my grandfather grew up on was large.
更简洁的表达方式为：
My grandfather grew up on a large farm.
2. 有时一个词组可以用一个更简单的单词来替换，例如：
My grandfather has said over and over again that he had to work on his parents’ farm.
这里的over and over again就可以改为repeatedly，显得更为简洁：
My grandfather has said repeatedly that he had to work on his parents’ farm.
建议三：选择最恰当的语法结构
选择合适的语法结构可以使句子意思的表达更为精确和简练。虽然语法的多样性也很重要，但选择最恰当的语法结构仍然是更为重要的考虑因素。以下推荐几种考生们在考虑选择何种语法结构时可以参考的原则：
1. 一个句子的主语和谓语动词应该能够反映句子中的最重要的意思。例如：.
The situation that resulted in my grandfather’s not being able to study engineering was that his father needed help on the farm.
从意思上来分析，上面这句话需要表达的重要的概念是“grandfather’s not being able to study”，而在表达这个概念时，原句用的主语是situation，谓语动词是was，不能强调需要表达的重点概念，可以改为下面这句话：
My grandfather couldn’t study engineering because his father needed help on the farm.
2. 避免频繁使用“there be”结构，例如下面的句子：
There were 25 cows on the farm that my grandfather had to milk every day. It was hard work for my grandfather.
可以改为：My grandfather worked hard. He had to milk 25 cows on the farm every day.
更简洁的句式为：
My grandfather worked hard milking 25 cows daily.
3. 把从句改为短语或单词。例如：
Dairy cows were raised on the farm, which was located100 kilometers from the nearest university and was in an area that was remote.
简介的表达方式为：
The dairy farm was located in a remote area, 100 kilometers to the nearest university.
4. 仅在需要强调宾语而不是主语的时候，才使用被动语态。例如：
In the fall, not only did the cows have to be milked, but also the hay was mowed and stacked by my grandfather’s family.
本句不够简洁的原因是本句的重心应该是“忙碌的家庭-my grandfather’s family”，而使用了被动语态后，仿佛重心变成了cows和hay。下面的表达方式是主动语态，相对来说更简洁一些：
In the fall, my grandfather’s family not only milked the cow but also mowed and stacked the hay.
5. 用更为精确的一个动词来代替动词短语，例如下面这句话：
My grandfather didn’t have time to stand around doing nothing with his school friends.
Stand around doing nothing其实可以用一个动词来表达，即loiter：
My grandfather didn’t have time to loiter with his school friends.
6. 有时两句话的信息经过组合完全可以用一句话来简练地表达，例如：
Profits from the farm were not large. Sometimes they were too small to meet the expenses of running a farm. They were not sufficient to pay for a university degree.
两句话的信息可以合并为下面这句更为简洁的句子：

本话题高分范文赏析
Of the two possibilities, I prefer the first, that is, to spend my time with one or two close friends, because I enjoy close friendship with one or two people and the cozy atmosphere of spending time with close friends. When spending time with a large number of friends, it tends to be difficult to form solid, meaningful friendships with any of the people, since cultivating friendship needs time to communicate. On the other hand, when spending time with only one or two close friends, it is more likely to get to know these people on a very close level. I think this closeness is very important in a friendship. In fact, if I share no closeness with a person, then I do not consider him a friend; I consider him an acquaintance. Moreover, it is not only closeness but also the cozy atmosphere that makes me prefer spending time with only one or two friends. In this cozy atmosphere, I always feel there is nothing that I could not or would not tell my friends, as they feel the same. This means we can trust each other completely. Although this doesn't at all mean there's no cozy atmosphere or complete trust when spending time with many friends, it is my observation that everyone tends to be more open in private. This is why I enjoy the intimate friendship. In addition, spending time with few friends can save much time, since the relationship among a few people is more likely to be simpler. I'm not proficient at dealing with relationship among people, and often get frustrated communicating with a crowd. However, when I am spending time with one or two close friends, this doesn't matter at all. In fact, my close friends, notwithstanding few in number, always tell me I'm their best friend who can truly care about them and handle the relationship smoothly. I think it is my personality that has me make such a choice.
Profits from the farm were sometimes too small to meet operational expenses, let alone pay for a university degree.
