Task 1

INTEGRAED Great Zimbabwe石头建筑群建造的purpose

阅读材料观点：

1. for storing grains;

2. gold mining place;

3. astronomical observatory;

听力逐一反驳：

1. 外表看起来像storehouse, 其实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, 也就是说build towers and walls的时候人们不知道有gold;

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

Task 2 INDEPENDENT 独立写作

话题类别 社会类

考题文字： Do you agree or disagree with the following statement?

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

本次写作考试点评：

本次新托福考试完全重复2011年3月4日北美考题。

本次的考题完全在预测中，北美考题的重复规律继续在中国大陆的考试中得以体现。就难度而言，这次写作考题的难度较大。综合任务的话题和词汇就会对考生的听力造成较大的困难。而独立写作的社会类题目较为宽泛，反而不利于考生形成清晰的思路。综合而言，如果考前看过预测写过作文，那么将会获得高分，如果没有接触过，那么获得高分的难度较大。
