前 言
众所周知,随着时代的快速发展,托福也采取了新的考试形式。在美国教授托福多年,我一直存有这样一个疑问:原有的托福考试是否可以测试出一个考生的真实英语水平?考生取得了满意的托福分数,是否就可以在美国大学里自如地学习了?答案是否定的。有些考生虽然取得了美国大学所要求的托福分数,但由于听力水平不足,入学以后跟不上课程进度,不能顺利完成上课时要求的报告,因而得到非常低的学分;有些学生由于对自己的英语没有自信,不能在以讨论为主的美国式教育中大胆开口说话,因而只好保持沉默。同时,他们在现实生活中也遇到了这样那样的问题。也许ETS最为忧虑的是,这些学生即使达到了学校要求的托福分数而被录取,并得以进入美国的学校学习,但实际上他们在很多方面并未真正达到入学要求。应该如何避免这些情形呢?ETS苦思冥想以后,提出的解决方案便是:加强写作能力测试,取消语法测试,增加口语测试。
需要特别指出的是,托福的题型已不再是单一的选择题,而是由全面考查听力与阅读、口语与阅读的综合题型和着重考查逻辑分析能力的阅读题型等多种形式组成。托福的考试形式实际上直接体现了以逻辑分析为主的美国式教育的特征,要想在这种新形式下取得高分,不但要有解题技巧,还要有较强的逻辑分析能力。
要想在作文测试中写出高分作文,在口语测试中快速、有条理地说出具有说服力的答案,在听力测试中正确判断各种情况并答题,在阅读测试中正确提取各种相关信息并找到答案,这些都需要相当强的逻辑分析能力。由此可知,在考生看来变得非常复杂、非常困难的托福考试中,其实蕴含着非常简单的原理。
本书的编写目的就是让考生掌握这种新型考试的原理,轻松应对托福考试。在这里,我要感谢在加拿大、美国、英国、韩国等地为本书的出版做出贡献的JI-YEON LEE研究所的各位成员,并特别鸣谢对本书进行审校工作的Secor Brain Daniel, Stephen Armol以及金秀研教授。
