8月22日的新托福考试结束啦~
同学们考得怎么样呢？
快来看看本场托福考情回顾吧👇
01、阅读部分
阅读填空
填空1 大气压在天气系统中起到关键作用。高压区域空气下沉，抑制云的形成，因此天气晴朗、风平浪静。在低压系统中，暖空气上升、冷却，凝结成云，这会带来降水。气压变化有助于气象学家完善天气预报，因为气压的快速波动预示着风暴即将来临。高级气象模型利用大气气压梯度、气温与湿度，预测风暴的移动路径和强度，为短期天气展望以及长期气候评估提供重要依据。
填空2 海洋学和水文学是研究地球上水体动态变化的学科，研究范围涵盖洋流、潮汐以及水循环等内容。洋流受风型、地球自转等因素影响，在调节全球气候方面起到至关重要的作用，因为洋流会在整个星球范围内重新分配热量。而水循环描述的是水在地球地表与大气层之间的持续运动，包含蒸发、凝结、降水等过程。以上这些现象共同体现出地球水系之间相互关联的特点。
学术文章
学术1
VeganismintheUnitedStates（原题）
主要讲述美国纯素饮食风潮的兴衰变化。2004‑2019 年间，受动物保护、环保理念与健康意识推动，纯素饮食热度大幅上升，2010 年代商家也顺势推出广受欢迎的植物肉产品。但到 2020 年代中期，发展势头放缓，2025 年调查显示仅有 3%‑4% 的美国人自称为纯素食者。造成热度停滞的原因包括：自制纯素餐工序繁琐、市售素食替代品大多深加工，健康性存疑，加上网络博主倡导多摄入蛋白质，带动肉类需求回升。总体来看，美国饮食潮流不断变化，多数民众更倾向选择灵活宽松的饮食方式，而非极端的纯素饮食。
学术2 二战造成美国劳动力严重短缺，大批男性参军，工厂开始招募女性进入原本由男性主导的工业岗位。1945 年女性占民用劳动力约 37%，政府宣传把女性就业塑造成爱国的临时举措。历史学家对此带来的改变持有两种不同观点：一部分人认为战时女性证明了自己可以胜任技术类工业工作，为日后争取同工同酬、拓宽职业选择权的女权运动打下基础；另一部分学者则认为该变化十分短暂，战争结束、男性退伍归来之后，大量女性被辞退，女性就业率迅速回落至战前水平
学术3
Person-Centered Therapy: A Shift in Focus（原题）
20世纪中期，心理学家罗杰斯提出来访者中心疗法，打破了当时治疗师全权负责诊断治疗的主流思路。该理论将来访者放在首位，依靠医患协作，通过营造包容共情的沟通环境，引导来访者自我觉察、实现心理成长。传统疗法以咨询师诊断、制定治疗方案为主；尽管有观点质疑这套方法很难满足重症心理患者对专业干预的需求，罗杰斯的理念依旧影响广泛，被多种现代心理疗法所吸收。

02、听力部分
学术讲座1-6
第一篇
Anthropology: Animal in Ritual and Symbol Uses（动物在宗教仪式和象征体系中的使用）
第二篇
Greek and Renaissance（古希腊与文艺复兴）
第三篇
Desert（沙漠生态/沙漠形成）
第四篇
Social Entrepreneur（社会企业家）
第五篇
物理学讲座以骑自行车为例讲解惯性定律。惯性定律指出：物体沿直线运动时会保持直线运动，除非受到外力作用。骑行时，如果只转动前轮而不倾斜身体，由于惯性，人和车身仍会继续向前直行，导致摔倒。解决方法是向转弯方向倾斜身体，使重力与惯性力相互对抗。职业自行车手在高速过弯时需要找到平衡点——倾斜角度足够大以防止侧滑，但又不能过大，否则重力会将人车一起拉倒在地。
