2023年托福考情分析
阅读
2023年阅读总体上仍旧是采用多套试卷拼盘的考法，防止作弊，大量重复往年老题。篇目数量巨大，题库有限，因此有相当大比例文章在年度考试中出现了2次以上，部分文章出现到4次以上。
1
话题
2023年考察的话题和往年基本一致，最常考话题是生物类，频次远高于其他类别文章，占比35%。
生物类文章常考的内容有：鸟类迁徙、照顾幼崽、驯化、动植物生活习性等。
第二名是历史类，共考了92篇。常考的内容有：北美古代文明、工业革命的发展、欧洲经济发展、女性在工业革命中的角色、古代希腊罗马文化、雅典与斯巴达、苏美尔文明、埃及文明、玛雅文明的衰落等。
占比上升最多话题是地理地质类，从12%到18%，常考：地球大气的起源、海洋的形成、尼罗河对埃及的重要影响以及温泉的原理。；艺术类的话题也相较于往年增多，不过基本没有专业性门槛，对考生友好。
2
2024备考
2024年的备考仍需以生物类和历史类为备考重点。题型不会有太大变化，难点题型仍是推断题和目的题。其他话题如艺术类、生态环境类等低频考题也不可忽略。
ETS题库在更新的同时，仍有大量的老题在回滚。2024年考生不妨从老题入手复习，既能真切感知考试难度，又有一定程度上能遇到原题。
听力
1
对话
托福听力的对话大多发生在2个地方：老师办公室和学生服务中心。对话的其中一方是学生，另一方是老师或学校工作人员。这两种类型的对话出现频率近乎相同。
学生在老师办公室，讨论的话题有3类：课程任务、学科知识和时间安排。
课程任务的内容有：作业完成情况、论文选题设计、资料的收集和整理等。
学科知识的对话较为复杂，通常是围绕一个具体的学术细节展开，俗称“mini-lecture”。内容难度趋于讲座难度，在记录学生态度的同时，还要记录问题和学术答案。
在学生服务场景下，学生将和以下形形色色的人打交道，如住宿指导员、就业指导员、图书馆管理员等等。其中，围绕食宿和校园活动的对话最多，内容有：餐厅口味、住宿地点、住宿环境、活动策划、活动场地等。
对话虽然时长短，但题量并不少，考查的都是非常细节的内容。不论是语速、用词、内容还是逻辑，都能感觉到明显的难度提升。
2
讲座
托福听力的两大类：自然科学和社会科学，和往年基本一样是平分秋色。
自然科学包含：生物学、天文学、环境科学、地理地质等等学科。其中，生物学话题的细分如下图所示，对动物的考察比例远超其他学科，主要涉及到动物进化、动物特征、动物习性等。
理科话题的分类如下图所示，天文学话题依旧占比稳坐龙头，围绕各大天体展开，同时也包括一些理论在天文学中的应用。常考话题有：特殊天文现象/发现，天体的本身形成过程，天文探测技术，天文应用等。
今年的生态类的话题比重明显加大，常考环境保护相关话题，2024年很有可能会延续这个趋势，需要重点备考。
地理常考话题：地貌形成过程，地质探测特定技术，某一特殊的环境现象等。
艺术类话题包络美术、音乐、文学(史)等。文学和摄影考察越来越多。
口语
1
独立口语
今年的独立口语有58%都是老题重考，所以今天发的这份资料非常非常重要，2024年有很大可能反复考2023年的原题！
题型方面，延续了2019年起的提问方式，分别为“which one do you prefer”和“do you agree or disagree”两种题型，考察频率各占一半。
独立口语方面，Task 1话题范围主要涉及校园生活与学习，人际关系话题，科技话题，社会话题，家庭教育话题，工作话题这几大方面来要求考生发表观点。
教育类仍是话题王，包括抽象的基础教育，如青少年儿童的成长发展，以及具体类的校园学习，比如大学里的教学及学生学习方式方法等。
新趋势一是超长题干变得越来越多，例如11月12日的考题题干高达81词：
新趋势二是教育话题中，多次考察到历史教育，题干也都很长，难度很高。例如4月26日、5月23日、8月29日、11月4日、11月12日均以不同角度考察对于历史课、历史教授的态度。
2
综合口语
Task2是一道校园政策题，考试内容为：阅读文章、听力对话、复述。内容基本分为两大类：学习和校园生活。学习类通常是课程及学习资源资料类；生活类涉及面更多一些，包括校园饮食、住宿、交通出行、建筑设施等。
2023年对校园生活的考察比往年增加不少，学习类的考察有所减少。
听力对话中，学生的态度总体上仍是反对多于支持；“混合”态度出现了6次，相较于去年的2次有所增加。
Task3是综合口语中的学术场景题目，考试内容为: 阅读文章、听力讲座、复述。考查的学科大类依然是生物，商业，环境，教育方法。
其中，生物和心理类占比超过80%，比往年增加不少，而商业话题从去年的33%降到了今年的19%。
Task4也是一道学术场景的综合口语题，不同之处在于Task4没有阅读文本，只有听力讲座，要求学生复述听力讲座的内容。主要考察生物，市场营销，管理，地理，心理。
综合口语的新趋势一是考察的话题越来越细分，涉及到很专业的词汇，例如与真菌相关的话题今年考察了3次。
趋势二是非常规结构的听力越来越多，例如Task2的混合态度、Task3的时间对比。
写作
1
综合写作
和往年一样，综合写作的高频考察话题类型仍为生物类，大多讨论生物某一习性的原因或者数量，占比有所提升，达到了48%。
自然科学类的考察概率明显高于社会科学类。究其原因，还是自然科学话题较容易理解，不那么抽象，降低考生理解难度。
2
独立写作&学术讨论
1-7月考的是独立写作、7-12月考的是学术讨论。
独立写作中，教育话题独占鳌头。但到了新题型学术讨论，教育的比例大幅下降，取而代之的是大幅上涨的社会话题，更加需要考生对现代社会生活的变化有自己的观察和思考。
生活类话题同样占据了29%，包括生活习惯，保持健康，交友，购物相关，学习方式，养宠利弊等等。
新的话题分类对低龄考生更有挑战，需要有一定的生活经验和对社会现象的思见解。

【独立口语】
Task 1 - Your university is changing its housing policy. All first-and second-year students will now be required to live on campus. Do you think this is a good idea? Explain why or why not.
【综合写作】关于water hyacinths花的传播
【独立写作】(媒体类/社会生活类) 学术讨论写作的主题是：传统媒体中television和book哪个更重要
Doctor Achebe:
Today, we're exploring the enduring impact of traditional media in our modern society. Despite the emergence of digital platforms, traditional media such as television and books continue to wield significant influence. Now, considering their impact on shaping perspectives and opinions, I'd like your insights. In your view, do you believe television holds greater importance, or do books exert a stronger impact on individuals in today's society? Explain the reasons behind your perspective, considering their respective reach and engagement.
Andrew:
Unlike books that require literacy skills and resources, television offers information readily available to a vast audience. Its audio-visual nature captivates diverse demographics, reaching individuals regardless of literacy levels. For instance, television news broadcasts reach millions instantly, shaping collective perspectives. Its immediacy and visual storytelling also create lasting impressions, influencing opinions and societal views more directly compared to the slower, more introspective impact of books.
Claire:
Books wield greater influence in modern society owing to their ability to convey specialized and in-depth knowledge. Unlike television, which often presents condensed or generalized information, books delve profoundly into various subjects, providing comprehensive insights and expertise. This depth allows readers to explore diverse perspectives, fostering critical thinking and nuanced opinions based on substantial information.

Doctor :Recycling and waste management play a significant role in achieving a cleaner planet, but there are more actions individuals can take. Encouraging environmental responsibility is pivotal in fostering a better world. As we discuss the importance of individual contributions to the environment, what additional steps (beyond waste management) do you believe individuals can take to significantly impact the environment positively?
Andrew: Refraining from using plastic bags while shopping and boycotting environmentally unfriendly products like disposable plastics saves time and energy by eliminating the need for recycling. This approach allows for more focus on other impactful eco-friendly measures. It not only conserves resources but also encourages the adoption of sustainable alternatives, contributing to a greener and more efficient lifestyle.
Claire: Planting trees effectively cleanses the air by absorbing pollutants, promoting cleaner air. Supporting afforestation and reforestation initiatives aids in reducing pollution. These actions offer tangible benefits, purifying the environment. Prioritizing measures to eliminate emitted pollutants directly impacts and improves air quality, showcasing the immediate and crucial role individuals play in environmental conservation.

Professor :
In our discussion about the significance of personal efforts towards charitable donations,which approach do you believe is more effective: donating to local charities or international organizations? Share your opinion and provide reasons for your choice.
Student A:
In my view, donating to local charities is a more effective way to make a positive impact.Local charities often have a deep understanding of the specific needs and challenges within their communities. When we donate to them, our contributions can be targeted towards addressing immediate and pressing issues, such as hunger, homelessness, or education.
Student B:
I believe that donating to international organizations is a more effective approach. While local charities ar essential for addressing immediate community needs, international organizations have the capacity to tackle global challenges on a larger scale. They can address issues like climate change, global health crises, and poverty alleviation in a more comprehensive manner Moreover, international organizations often have the resources and expertise to coordinate efforts across borders, making it possible to addresss ystemic issues that affect people worldwide.

Doctor Achebe:
As countries work to reduce emissions and protect the environment, many governments are encouraging the adoption of electric vehicles through new policies. This week we will discuss ideas for policies that could promote electric vehicle usage. In your post, I would like you to address this question: What policies should the government implement to promote electric vehicles for environmental protection?
Claire:
More charging stations are key to getting people to buy electric cars. It's frustrating when you can't charge your car. The government should offer big tax credits to businesses to build charging stations. If charging spots are everywhere, range anxiety will go away and electric car sales will take off. We need that to help the Earth.
Paul:
The government needs to create entire highways just for electric cars. These special roads could have charging stations along the way so range anxiety disappears. Exclusive electric highways would show electric cars are the transportation of the future. We'd see tons more Teslas on the road helping clear the air.

【综合写作】关于太空中的solar panels跟地球上的相比有何优势的辩论
【独立写作】(教育类) 学术讨论写作主题：带学生去户外上课是利是弊 - 教育类独立写作题库中有类似考题
Dr. Achebe
Outdoor education can have various benefits, such as connecting with nature and learning in a different environment. As part of an initiative to encourage more outdoor learning, there is a proposal to have teachers take students aged 5-18 outside of the classroom for outdoor classes once a month. In your response, please share your thoughts on whether outdoor classes once a month would be beneficial for students in this age group.
Kelly
We should avoid burdening teachers with additional responsibilitiesduring instructional time. Teachers are already tasked with deliveringquality education and managing classrooms effectively. Adding moreduties, such as administrative tasks or non-teaching responsibilities,can divert their focus from teaching. Instead, we should prioritizesupporting teachers in their primary role.
Paul
Hands-on learning outside the classroom can help studentsunderstand environmental problems in a tangible way and spark theirinterest to learn more. For example, measuring air or water quality inlocal areas impacted by pollution can vividly demonstrateenvironmental threats. Outdoor learning experiences makeenvironmental issues real to students, motivating them to care aboutfinding solutions.

Dr. Achebe
This week, we’ve been discussing ways to protect the environment. One way is to require companies to pay penalties, such as higher taxes or large fines, when they pollute and damage the environment. We’re going to explore this topic in depth tomorrow, but first I'd like to get your thoughts: Do you think imposing these taxes and fines would be a good way to stop companies from harming the environment? Why or why not?
Andrew：
I don’t think it will be effective. Where I live, the local government imposes fines on polluting companies, but it doesn’t stop them. I know of one business that created a lot of water pollution. Instead of changing their ways, they just paid a fine. No one was really punished, and the pollution is still a problem.
Claire：
I think it’s an excellent idea. As long as there is no penalty for polluting the environment, these companies will not bother searching for alternatives to practices that contribute to air, water, or land pollution. And it should be a financial penalty because every company worries about money.

Which course would you choose to fulfill your history requirement and why? Use details and examples to explain your opinion.
【综合写作】关于沼泽地出现“鬼火”的原因
【独立写作】(社会生活类) 学术讨论写作的主题是：过度消费是否是个严重的社会问题？
Dr. Gupta
We've been discussing the idea that human well-being is not necessarily improved by ever-increasing production and consumption of goods and services. Some people argue that humans already consume too many goods, from clothing to electronics to food; they believe that excessive consumption has created serious problems for humanity and even the planet. Do you agree that excessive consumption--buying more than we truly need--has become a serious problem? Why or why not?
Paul
I absolutely agree. We buy far more than we need, and that can't continue indefinitely. For years people have used shopping as a form of recreation. The products bought on a whim are filling up landfills, and the energy expended producing the goods has created a global warming crisis. We should start gradually reducing consumption.
Claire
I disagree with the idea that over-consumption is a dramatic problem. I agree there is some over-consumption, but it happens mostly with wealthy people. I think in general almost everyone else already buys only what they need. In fact, many people around the world are not even able to obtain everything they need.

professor：
This week, we'll be discussing ways to address air pollution. One idea isintroducing environmental taxes on air travel. Such taxes, also referred to as ecological taxes or green taxes, are extra charges that get added to theprice of airplane tickets. Money collected from these taxes could beinvested in environmentally friendly technologies or in promoting other,cleaner modes of transportation. Do you think there should be an environmental tax on air travel? Why or why not?

【综合写作】关于某种乌贼的眼睛为什么那么大
【独立写作】(青少年类/社会生活类) 学术讨论写作的主题是：children是否应该养宠物 - 独立写作题库有这题
professor：
Today, we're exploring the impacts of children caring for pets. Some people believe that taking care of animals like dogs or cats can teach kids responsibility, empathy, and even improve their social skills. Can having a pet benefit children in their development? What do you think about the idea of kids raising pets? Share your thoughts on whether children benefit from caring for a pet and how this experience might influence their growth and development.
Andrew:
I think children benefit from raising pets, fostering a sense of responsibility and empathy. Additionally, nurturing scientific curiosity is crucial for their development. Encouraging hands-on experiments and interactive learning in science enhances critical thinking and problem-solving skills. By combining pet care with scientific exploration, we can help kids develop a well-rounded set of skills.
Claire:
I believe it's not beneficial for kids to raise pets as it's often the parents who end up caring for them. Children might lack the responsibility needed for proper pet care. Moreover, pets require consistent attention, which can be challenging for kids managing school and activities. This situation often results in parents taking on the primary caregiving role.

【独立写作】(教育类) 学术讨论写作：Should art and music be included in curriculum or just math/ reading? - 独立写作题库教育类有类似考题
Doctor Achebe:
What should children be learning in school? Many people believe that time in the classroom should be spent acquiring foundational knowledge in subjects like math reading, science, and history. Others feel that it's important for a child's creativity to be nurtured, and thus the school curriculum must include classes in art and music. There's so much to learn, yet so little time in school to learn it all! What do you think should be included in the curriculum? Why?
Kelly:
I agree that traditional subjects like math, science, and reading are important. but scare classes in art and music. Engaging with art and music can help children be more creative and can stimulate their imaginations. That in turn facilitates critical thinking which is essential in any curriculum, so l am in favor of including art and music in the school day.
Andrew:
Sure, drawing pictures and listening to music is fun, but children can do that on their own time. The school day is too short as it is. and there is so much foundational knowledge in math, reading, science, and history that children need to learn: it is better to spend classroom time on that foundational knowledge and let kids explore art and music at home.

Doctor Achebe:As part of our module on urbanization and rural-to-urban migration, we are examining factors that influence where people choose to live. Many people migrate from rural areas to cities for economic reasons. However, some continue living in rural areas despite fewer job opportunities. For this discussion, please explain in a post what you think are the main reasons people choose to live in rural areas rather than moving to urban areas.
Kelly:I believe a major reason some people choose to live in rural areas rather than urban centers is the quieter, slower-paced lifestyle. Rural living typically has less noise from traffic and crowds. The quiet allows more relaxation and connection with nature. The less hurried pace of rural life appeals to those wanting to escape the stress of urban environments.
Andrew:I think a major appeal of living in rural areas is the natural environment and air quality. The air tends to be cleaner and fresher with less pollution from factories, cars, and high population density. For people who value the ability to breathe fresh air, grow gardens, and spend time outdoors, rural living provides a healthier lifestyle. The scenic, less-congested environment offers a higher quality of life that can outweigh economic factors for some.
