根据历年考试真题的大方向，专家为大家带来了2016年5月29日小范围预测，大家要好好把握，争取在考试前做完并进行总结，能够在考试前发现自己做题中出现的问题，然后找到解决的办法，自信的迎接考试。
口语：
T1 Which of the following library volunteer work would you choose? Helping people find the right material, reading to kids, or keeping bookshelf organized?
T2 When going on vacation, do you prefer to have outdoor activities or indoor activities? Please include examples and details in your answer.
T3 Reading: 有人建议把宿舍的lounge的一间改成study room，这样大家可以去学习。并且在study room里配上电脑。
Listening: 男生认为这个proposal很好，是what students need。因为：1)每次大家在lounge里看电视什么的都很吵，而且宿舍也吵，比如室友一天到晚打电话听音乐。而且他们没有地方学习。2)如果有电脑就方便多了。不是每个人都有电脑的，有时候大家必须去图书馆用电脑。可是有时太晚了图书馆都关门了。
T4 外包一部分工作给其他公司做，这样小business就可以focus自己的专业producer service，外包。通常可以选择所有过程都自己做，或者选择把自己不熟悉的部分外包给别人做，这两种做法。一个教授说，他的朋友开餐馆，一开始都是自己做，包括accounting部分，后来发现在accounting上花了太多时间，还容易有错，就外包给accounting公司，这样他就能专注于自己喜欢和擅长的工作了。
T5 P: 讲女生喜欢的课她没选到，因为截止日期是上周五，她很想选。但是没办法。
1. 男生说，那下学期能不能选?女的说，下学期是有类似的课，但是课程内容没有现在的吸引他
2. 然后女的说，可以叫extra fee 75刀再注册，然后男的说如果实在喜欢就注册吧。
T6 介绍了一种叫gap analysis的商业概念，经营者第一步从企业的实际表现和理想表现上定位出差距(gap)，第二步找到方法缩小差距来提高整体商业表现和业绩。教授用了在超市买东西的例子来解释，在一个超市里顾客需要排长队付账，并且向超市经营者抱怨他们等待的时间过长。企业找到问题所在，并比较目前顾客等待时间和顾客期望等待时间的差距。第二步经营者从这个差距出发找到解决方案，比如在繁忙的时间段多开几个收银台来减少等待的时间提高表现。
写作：
W1 讲Spartacus的传奇故事的。
1. 文章讲 他对抗罗马军队是为了回到家乡，prof说不仅仅是这样，他还想征服国家，wealth， gold
2. 文章讲 他以少打多，赢得胜利和群众的admiration， prof将不对，他不是军事天才，他赢得原因是罗马的军队太弱，当遇到最好的军队时，他立马就败了。
3.文章讲 他努力拯救罗马slave， prof讲，不对，这故事是编的。当时slave movement 发动，他们想找一个hero来振奋人心，就pick up Spartacus 来鼓舞人心，这只是编的故事in plays
W2 Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? People now can better protect the environment than they could in the past.
2016年5月29日托福机经中阅读和听力篇如下：
听力：
L3：swam intelligence 第一个例子是蚂蚁，它们会不自觉的follow两条rules: 第一个是在觅食的路上会留下一种chemical(有题); 第二个是会reinforce那条最短最快的路。这个在人类社会有一个 应用，是说打电话的时候电脑系统也会按照这个原理选取最不拥堵的线路。 第二个例子是鸟类飞行，在电影制作里有应用，但是教授特别强调了下鸟类的行为和人类还是很不一样的(有题)
L4：1、雕塑的颜色，文艺复兴时期大家以为雕塑都没有颜色，纯白大理石，于是他们都focus form而不是color。 2、后来发现其实早期希腊和罗马雕塑是有pigment的，只是因为退色了和清洗把颜色搞掉了。 3、教授说研究颜色很重要，因为我们需要作者的intention。比如，某雕塑的斗篷是红色的，说明红色在那个时代的象征意义，还说明地位?

POPULATION AND CLIMATE
The human population on Earth has grown to the point that it is having an effect on Earth's atmosphere and ecosystems. Burning of fossil fuels, deforestation, urbanization, cultivation of rice and cattle, and the manufacture of chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) for propellants and refrigerants are increasing the concentration of carbon dioxide, methane, nitrogen oxides, sulphur oxides, dust, and CFCs in the atmosphere. About 70 percent of the Sun's energy passes through the atmosphere and strikes Earth's surface. This radiation heats the surface of the land and ocean, and these surfaces then reradiate infrared radiation back into space. This allows Earth to avoid heating up too much. However, not all of the infrared radiation makes it into space; some is absorbed by gases in the atmosphere and is reradiated back to Earth's surface. A greenhouse gas is one that absorbs infrared radiation and then reradiates some of this radiation back to Earth. Carbon dioxide, CFCs, methane, and nitrogen oxides are greenhouse gases. The natural greenhouse effect of our atmosphere is well established. In fact, without greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, scientists calculate that Earth would be about 33℃ cooler than it currently is.
The current concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is about 360 parts per million. Human activities are having a major influence on atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations, which are rising so fast that current predictions are that atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide will double in the next 50 to 100 years. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report in 1992, which represents a consensus of most atmospheric scientists, predicts that a doubling of carbon dioxide concentration would raise global temperatures anywhere between 1.4℃ and 4.5℃. The IPCC report issued in 2001 raised the temperature prediction almost twofold. The suggested rise in temperature is greater than the changes that occurred in the past between ice ages. The increase in temperatures would not be uniform, with the smallest changes at the equator and changes two or three times as great at the poles. The local effects of these global changes are difficult to predict, but it is generally agreed that they may include alterations in ocean currents, increased winter flooding in some areas of the Northern Hemisphere, a higher incidence of summer drought in some areas, and rising sea levels, which may flood low-lying countries.
Scientists are actively investigating the feedback mechanism within the physical, chemical, and biological components of Earth's climate system in order to make accurate predictions of the effects the rise in greenhouse gases will have on future global climates. Global circulation models are important tools in this process. These models incorporate current knowledge on atmospheric circulation patterns, ocean currents, the effect of landmasses, and the like to predict climate under changed conditions. There are several models, and all show agreement on a global scale. For example, all models show substantial changes in climate when carbon dioxide concentration is doubled. However, there are significant differences in the regional climates predicted by different models. Most models project greater temperature increases in mid-latitude regions and in mid-continental regions relative to the global average. Additionally, changes in precipitation patterns are predicted, with decreases in mid-latitude regions and increased rainfall in some tropical areas. Finally, most models predict that there will be increased occurrences of extreme events, such as extended periods without rain (drought), extreme heat waves, greater seasonal variation in temperatures, and increases in the frequency and magnitude of severe storms. Plants and animals have strong responses to virtually every aspect of these projected global changes.
The challenge of predicting organismal responses to global climate change is difficult. Partly, this is due to the fact that there are more studies of short-term, individual organism responses than there are of long-term, systemwide studies. It is extremely difficult, both monetarily and physically, for scientists to conduct field studies at spatial and temporal scales that are large enough to include all the components of real-world systems, especially ecosystems with large, freely ranging organisms. One way paleobiologists try to get around this limitation is to attempt to reconstruct past climates by examining fossil life.
The relative roles that abiotic and biotic factors play in the distribution of organisms is especially important now, when the world is confronted with the consequences of a growing human population. Changes in climate, land use, and habitat destruction are currently causing dramatic decreases in biodiversity throughout the world. An understanding of climate-organism relationships is essential to efforts to preserve and manage Earth's biodiversity.
