如何练托福听力?
1,练听力的耐力.最初可以用旧托福来练,一般半个钟头左右,然后逐渐延长时间,到能连续听两个小时仍然思维清晰为止；
2,练听力的准确度.一般新托福的各种教材都好用,我个人推荐kaplan,不管是模考软件还是教材都相当好.虽然出题思路和正式考试有差别,但作为练习是很上品的选择
3,练话题的敏感度.主要就是针对新托考试里的学术段子,可以听探索节目（discovery）,注意是听,不是看,不要被画面吸引而通过字幕去了解内容,一定要完全通过听.听不懂就再听几遍.然后还可以听voa的科普类新闻,一定不要听慢速的那个
4,记笔记.新托考试段子很长,一般在时间很紧的情况下很难完全记在脑子里,所以一定要练习速记能力,不管听什么听力材料都要坚持记笔记

很多中国学生都会觉得托福的听力很难，原因可能有很多：
不习惯美式发音，平时少听native speakers讲话，少听录音带，词汇量和知识面跟不上，口语不好等原因。
口语不好也会影响听力？！ 当然会！托福的听力很大一部分是对话，都是一些日常用语，如果口语不好当然听不懂。 所以，托福听力材料也是最好的口语学习材料。要想提高听力，光死听死没有用的，还要注意分析听力原文。学习口语表达...

很多中国学生都会觉得托福的听力很难，原因可能有很多：
不习惯美式发音，平时少听native speakers讲话，少听录音带，词汇量和知识面跟不上，口语不好等原因。
口语不好也会影响听力？！ 当然会！托福的听力很大一部分是对话，都是一些日常用语，如果口语不好当然听不懂。 所以，托福听力材料也是最好的口语学习材料。要想提高听力，光死听死没有用的，还要注意分析听力原文。学习口语表达方法，多阅读，多方面结合才能有正在的提高。"潇潇语言实验室"现推出"托福口语听力篇"，希望对大家有点帮助。每集都是根据历届的托福真题编写。有编号的句子都是托福听力原文，一些补充例句也是托福原文。
每集的句子摘自同一套托福听力题。
学习英语靠得是平时得认真积累，别放弃呀！----潇潇
1. I picked up the receiver, dropped the coins in the slot, and dialed the number I wanted. 这个句子是关于打投币公共电话的。
Slot －缝隙。这里是指投币口。 Receiver就是电话的听筒。
2. Virginia's going to take all her required courses this year.
Required courses -必修课 required 是require的过去分词。在这里作为形容词来用，意思是"被要求的"，也就是学校要求学生必修的课。

e.g. I have 9 required courses and 3 electives this semester.
我这个学期有9门必修课，3门选修课。
I hope I can take a few electives next term.
3. Not only is Cheryl a good swimmer, but she's also a promising musician and a great photographer.

Not only was Ellen there, but Wanda and Dale came too.
Not only…but also.不仅。。。。而且。。。
Not only +倒装语序， but also + 陈述语序
4. My pen's out of ink. - 我的笔没有墨水了。
Be out of something = 用完了一样东西
另外一个托福原句：
The bookstore is out of lined notebook paper.
Lined 是指纸张有线条的。
类似的结构run out of something.
I just ran out of supplies.(托福原句)
举一反三：We are running out of money/water/time. 我们的钱/水/时间就快用完了。
5. The students completely filled the classroom.
Fill是"装满"的意思，这里是指学生挤满了课室。
6. Peter blames himself for what happened.

Charge是"收费"的意思， overcharge是"收多了钱"。
I got short-changed. 是指别人找钱找少给我了。
8. Have the driver let you off at the intersection. -叫司机在交叉口处让你下车。
Let you off意思是"让你下车"， 中国学生很容易按照中文来翻译，"let you get off the bus"语法上是没有错误的，但是现实中常常不这么罗嗦。学习英文应该多注意英文的表达方法，而不是想如何把中文翻译成英文。
这个例句还有一个托福经常考的结构：Have somebody do something:让某人做某事。
类似的常考结构：get somebody to do something. 不过这个结构的侧重点是自己不干，叫别人去干。
9. I've almost finished typing my homework paper.

B: It was very heavy, but I got my roommates to help me with it
A: 你究竟时怎么把那个桌子搬进你的房子的？
B: 那个桌子很重，但是我叫我的舍友帮我搬。
How did you ever do something?
通常用来问别人时究竟怎么把一件比较难办的事情办成的。 "ever"在这里不是"曾经"的意思，只是用来加强语气。
Get my roommate to help me with it. 这里有两个结构：
Get somebody to do something: 叫某人做某事 （托福常考结构）
Help somebody with something：帮助某人做某事
学习英文要时刻注意总结固定的搭配和结构，这样才能写出和讲出地道的英语。虽然简单，但是不小心还是会用错。
