01 主题语篇 · Reading & Listening

Last summer, my family took a trip to the coast. My dad wanted to go to the mountains, but my mom thought the beach was more relaxing. In the end, we chose the beach because it was the cheapest option. Our hotel was smaller than the one we had last year, but it was closer to the sea. The weather was sunnier than usual, and the water was warmer than we expected. On our second day, we visited the oldest lighthouse in the region. It was the most interesting place on the whole trip. My little brother said the ice cream shop was the best part of the holiday. I think the snorkeling was even more exciting than the lighthouse. Next year, we want to go further — maybe to an island. The longer I travel, the more I love seeing new places.
去年夏天,我们一家去海边旅行。爸爸想去山里,但妈妈觉得海边更放松。最后我们选了海边,因为那是最便宜的选择。我们的旅馆比去年的小,但离海更近。天气比平时更晴朗,海水比我们预想的暖。第二天我们参观了当地最古老的灯塔。那是整个旅行中最有意思的地方。我弟弟说冰淇淋店是假期最棒的部分。我觉得浮潜比灯塔还刺激。明年我们想去更远的地方——也许去个岛。我旅行得越多,就越喜欢看新地方。

⚠ 易错陷阱

  • ③ 最高级加 the: the oldest lighthouse(最高级前通常加 the)。
  • ④ much/even 修饰: much cheaper(便宜得多)、even more exciting(更刺激),放比较级前面。

06 拓展阅读 · Extended Passage(听力原稿风格)

Last summer, my family took a trip to Hangzhou. It was one of the best trips we have ever had. We stayed in a hotel near the West Lake. The room was bigger than our living room at home, and it was cleaner too. The lake was more beautiful than any lake I had ever seen. In the morning, we rented bikes and rode around the lake. My father rode faster than everyone, but my mother rode more slowly. We visited a tea museum. The guide told us that Longjing tea is one of the most famous teas in China. We also climbed a hill. It was the hardest climb of my life, but the view from the top was the most amazing thing I had ever seen. On the last day, we went shopping. The silk scarves were more expensive than I expected, but we bought three. Traveling is the best way to learn about the world.
去年夏天我们一家去杭州旅行。那是我们经历过最好的旅行之一。我们住在西湖边的酒店。房间比家里客厅还大,也更干净。西湖比我见过的任何湖都美。早上我们租了自行车环湖骑。爸爸骑得比所有人都快,妈妈骑得比较慢。我们参观了茶叶博物馆。导游说龙井是中国最有名的茶之一。我们还爬了一座山。那是我这辈子最累的攀爬,但山顶的风景是我见过最棒的。最后一天我们去购物。丝巾比我预想的贵,但我们买了三条。旅行是了解世界最好的方式。

13 小托福题型答题技巧(4 条)

📌 应试策略

  • 听力:听前先读选项,猜话题。听第二个人的回答,往往答案就在那里。
  • 语言形式:先找时间标志词(yesterday / every day / already),定时态再选变形。
  • 阅读:先读题,带着问题回原文定位。广告/通知类直接找数字和地点。
  • 时间管理:不会的题先跳过,做完有时间再回来。别在一道题上卡 5 分钟。
