发表时间：2023-07-08 17:01:20
2023年7月26日以后，托福将迎来新的一次改革。对于考生来说，喜忧参半，利弊混杂。
此次改革内容概括起来有以下5大点：
1. 考试时间缩短至2小时以内，取消休息时间
2. 精简考试流程说明与操作导引
3. 取消现有独立写作试题，替换为更为简练的全新写作题型“学术讨论写作”
4. 缩短阅读部分时长
5. 取消所有不计分的加试题
具体考试内容变化
■ 阅读部分
托福阅读由原先3-4篇文章缩短2篇，取消了不计分的随机加试。两篇阅读文章共20道题。题量虽然缩减，但每道题分值占比就会提高，也需要考生合理地规划阅读考试时间。
■ 听力部分
听力部分取消了加试，由3-4篇讲座及2-3篇会话缩短为固定的3篇讲座+2篇对话，参与算分的题目数量没有变化。考试时间由41-57分钟缩短至36分钟。
■ 写作部分
此次考试改革变动最大的，就是写作题型的变化。取消了之前的独立写作，由新题型“学术讨论写作”（Writing for Academic Disscussion）替代，综合写作部分保持不变，写作总时间由50分钟变为29分钟。和被取代的独立写作相比，“学术讨论写作”需要学生快速阅读理解能力，要针对话题选择材料里没有给出的内容和观点，同时需要整合、评价别人的观点并为自己所用。
在这部分题型中，考生将：
○ 对题目材料中的内容进行回应，或以此为基础表达观点
○ 明确陈述、阐述立场或论点
○ 在学术环境中，准确而有意义地使用一系列语法结构和词汇
关于变化较大的写作，我们利用官方样题来展示一下：
题目：
Your professor is teaching a class on sociology. Write a post responding to the professor’s question. In your response you should:- express and support your opinion
- make a contribution to the discussion An effective response will contain at least 100 words. You will have 10 minutes to write it.
Over the next few weeks, we are going to look at lots of different materials about the role of television programs and television watching in people’s lives. But first, I want to know what you think about this topic. So here’s a question for the class discussion board: What do you think is the most significant effect that watching television has on people? Why do you think television has this effect?
Kelly
I know that one way that television influences people’s behavior is that when you are watching television, you are not moving around or exercising. This is especially true for children. When children spend a lot of time watching television, they have a greater tendency to be overweight.
Paul
I think the main effect that television has on people is to broaden their experience. There are so many programs devoted to nature and travel. Think of all the different places in the world you can experience through television! Last night I watched a program about life in Antarctica, and it was fascinating!

高水平的回答1.:
In my opinion, Paul is right when he says that watching television might broaden your experience. By watching for example science programs, you can gain valuable insights into new topics. On the other hand, I think that a high percentage of people don't watch TV to increase their knowledge. I am of the opinion that many people watch TV in order to get distracted from their real lives. They watch films or series to be entertained and to forget problems they have at work or in their private lives. At least for me this works well - for instance if I am sad, I watch a comedy or a funny soap opera and afterwards, I am in a better mood. Therefore, I think that being entertained and distracted is the most significant effect of TV.
