　　托福口语TPO题目及答案——TPO12

　　1. What is the most efficient type of transportation in your country? Explain why you think it is efficient. Include specific reasons or examples

　　I think airplane is the most efficient type of transportation in my country because it’s fast and comfortable. It only takes me three hours to fly from Beijing to Chongqing. This saves me a lot of time. I can go to Chongqing in the morning and come back to Beijing in the evening. However, if I take train or bus, it’ll take me at least 20 hours. So it’s very fast to take planes. Also, every time I am on the plane, the flight attendant serves me delicious food and drink, all free of charge. But in a train, the attendants aren’t very hospitable and you have to pay for all the food and beverage even though they aren’t of high quality. So that’s why I think taking plane is comfortable.

　　2. Some people believe it's essential for a person's education to learn to play a musical instrument. Others don't believe music education is important. Which view do you agree with? Explain why.

　　I think it’s essential for a person’s education to learn to play a musical instrument. There are two reasons why I say so. First, learning to play a musical instrument can give a person a way to express emotion. For example, I have a sister who can play the piano. Every time she was happy or depressed, she’d play the piano. Second, learning to play a musical instrument makes a person artsy or develop a person’s artistic talent. Artistic people are more sensitive than normal ones. They can feel something that others can’t

　　feel. They can sense the emotions from what normal people think is a normal scene. For example, Beethoven can compose his Moonlight at night. But I don’t think anybody can make a moonlight at night.

　　3. The woman supports the proposal described in the article. Explain why she thinks it will achieve the university's goals.

　　The university plans to expand college radios station’s broadcasting range so as to attract more students to apply to its program and to provide the university with an extra source of revenue. The woman in the conversation thinks this change will work. She says currently the radio station range is limited to the campus. If they expand the range, there’ll be more programs. Also they will reach a larger audience and this will give students more experience in the real life broadcasting and put them in a favorable position to find jobs. Besides, the woman says this change will benefit the whole university. Since her friend’s university started a similar change five years ago and make a lot of money out of commercials. They use the money to offer more scholarship and fund projects to renovate new facilities.

　　4. Describe what subliminal perception is and explain how the experiment discussed by the professor illustrates this phenomenon.

　　Subliminal perception is a phenomenon that the perception of stimulus is just below the threshold of conscious awareness and it can influence people’s thought and attitudes.来源：北京新航道托福培训 The professor uses an experiment to illustrate this phenomenon. In the experiment two groups of people were asked to watch TV. A picture flashed on the screen. It appears so fast that it’s barely noticeable. The picture is a boy with a birthday cake. But each group is shown to a slightly different version of the picture. One group is shown to a picture in which the boy is angry and trying to throw the cake. The other group is shown to a picture in which the boy is smiling and trying to offer the cake. Later, these two groups of people were shown to a third picture in which the boy is holding the cake without any expressions. The people were asked to describe the boy’s personality. The result is that the group that has seen the angry boy describe

　　him negatively, whereas the group that has seen the smiling boy described him positively.

　　5. The speakers discuss two possible solutions to the woman's problem. Briefly summarize the problem. Then state which of the solutions you recommend and explain why.

　　The woman won an award and is invited to attend the award ceremony. But she’s got a philosophy exam that is scheduled to end at the time when the ceremony begins. There are two possible solutions. The first one is to attend the ceremony after taking the philosophy exam since these ceremonies never start on time and give long introductions. So she won’t miss anything important. But she thinks it’s a bit risky and she doesn’t want to miss being there when they announce her name. The second solution is talk to the professor and reschedule the exam. But the professor always reschedule the exam earlier which means less studying time for the woman. I think the woman had better choose the first solution. Since rescheduling exam will reduce her studying time, the second solution will probably harm her score. Even if it’s possible that she’ll miss the announcement of her name, she can still go to the award after the exam.

　　6. Using the points and examples from the talk, explain how substitute goods and complement goods influence demand for a particular product

　　The demand of a product can be influenced by the price of a related product. The first kind related products are called substitute goods, goods that can be substituted for one and another. They are interchangeable so the increase in the price of one product means the increase in the demand for another. For

　　example, butter and margarine are interchangeable. If the price of butter goes up, people will buy margarine instead. So the increase in the price of butter lead to the increase in demand for margarine. The second kind related products are called complement goods, goods that can’t be used without each other. They complement or complete each other. For example, compact discs and disc player are complement products since they should always be used together. So if the price of either product increases, the demand for both will decrease. If the price of CD goes up, the demand for CD will go down. Since CD player complements CD, the demand for CD player will go down too.
