2020年11月29日托福口语机经

　【口语部分】

　　Task 1（重复 2019 年 4 月 17 日在家考真题）

　　Do you agree or disagree with the following statement:

　　The professor who have received good evaluations from students should be promoted.

　　教授应不应该因为学生的积极评价而升职加薪？

　　参考答案

　　Personally, I don ’ t think it ’ s a good idea to promote professors who have received good evaluations from students.

First, because for most of the time, students just give good evaluations to save time. I mean most evaluations are done at last class or at the last week of the semester. It’ s really a busy time for students,because they are so preoccupied with all these final papers, and exams, so  they may just give good evaluations  to  save themselves from troubles without even thinking about the details. Like I have done that all the time at collage, and I know all my friends did the same. Second, good evaluations should not be the only aspect to consider when university decide to promote a professor. There are more important things that we should attach importance to, like , research projects, achievements in  certain field, and contributions to the society.

　　学校的历史学院要创建和维护历史课程的网站，有课上补充的素材，还有讨论区。

　　Task 4：生物话题

　　听力：昆虫的飞行，举了蜻蜓和一种 bumblebee 的例子。听力前面解释昆虫需要产生热量提供给肌肉，所以才可以飞行，但是冷血动物需要其他方式供热，然后解释用太阳能量供热， 一大摞解释才提到蜻蜓用大面积身体获得太阳能， 然后就是 bee 是靠运动来产生热量。
