2012年3月24日托福口语Task1+Task2答案

　　Task1．

　　学生应不应该在学期末给教授做评估。Students evaluation on professors at the end of the semester?

　　Do you think students should be able to evaluate their professors at the end of the semester?

　　Some people say that it is unfair for professors to be evaluated by their students, because students tend to only write negative things in their evaluations． But I believe that professor evaluations are important． First of all, sometimes when students give a negative evaluation, it is because the professor REALLY deserves a negative evaluation． I once had a teacher, who was absolutely terrible at teaching and helping understand the class material． By the end of the semester, I stopped going to class and just taught myself the material． What a waste of my tuition money． I also think that evaluations can be useful to professors． The best professor I ever had was so good at her job because she always improved her classes based on these evaluations from the students．

　　Task2．

　　亲手做的礼物和买的礼物哪个好？handmade or bought presents, which is better?

　　Which do you prefer: a handmade present or a store bought present?

　　Personally, I like any presents that you put thought into． If I am giving a present, I don’t like to just buy anything to give． I like to think about what the person would like and what would best show that I care about the person． Sometimes making a present by hand is appropriate and sometimes a present bought at a store is appropriate-it depends upon who I am giving the present to． For example, my sister is very artistic． For her birthday last year, I wove a belt for her． The belt was very artistic and therefore matched her style． However if I wanted to give my best friend a belt, it would have to be store bought, because she has a very particular style．

　　对话2：

　　一个学生想换专业，该生不想学数字艺术了，想去另一个可以和动物亲密接触的专业。女咨询人员说：没有问题，大一转是可以的。这个学生又害怕课程会很难。女人让这个学生去找他想去的专业问问再说。

　　Lecture 1：

　　有一篇讲企鹅的，说他们组队（大概 5-6个）出去找食物，原因是少了可能会有危险，多了呢大家又会争夺有限的食物），同时，还要有些专门留下来看小企鹅，因为小家伙很fragile，出去找食的企鹅都要花一天左右的时间才能回来。然后科学家在企鹅身上装了个仪器，（想起了快乐的大脚），记录他们的行为，搞了四年。前两年食物充足，小企鹅也会一起出去找食物，后两年食物少了；，小家伙们与大企鹅同行的次数减少了，因为要去抢食物，拖家带口不方便。

　　Lecture2：

　　一个寺庙被火烧过一次，后来重建。 然后人们发现庙里的一些建筑材料上面有文字，这里教授说了个例子，说有些作曲家会把一些物体写进放进音乐里，而建筑寺庙的人也会把音乐包含在建筑中。而且庙里的那些文字比寺庙本身值钱多了。
