2026年4月29日托福考情回忆

2026-06-17

　　现在的托福题目真的是“疯狂重复”——旧题一套接一套地往外蹦，你刷过的那些真题，搞不好考试当天就原封不动地砸你脸上。但是！很多同学考完回来跟我吐槽：虽然题目眼熟，但做起来怎么越来越“抽象”了呢？读着读着就怀疑自己是不是在看哲学书，听听力的时候感觉教授在讲天书……重复的是主题这个壳子，但是里面装的东西好像更难嚼了......
2026.4.29 托福阅读考情

　　一、学术阅读（篇章阅读）

　　填词题（完形填空）

Color and emotion

答案词：transforms into rock, evidence, ancient, and, events, within, show, organisms
Prehistoric art
Prehistoric art and religion provide invaluable insights into the spiritual life of early humans. Cave paintings and carvings often depict animals and symbolic figures, reflecting the beliefs and rituals of ancient communities. 这些艺术品被视为了解史前社会结构和文化实践的窗口。通过研究它们，研究人员可以更好地理解人类思想与精神世界的演变。
其中一空填 ceremony。

　　日常生活阅读（P2 日常阅读）

Wellness club announcement
篇幅短，第一题考细节题（活动内容包括什么）；第二题推断活动组织者（从“Join our xxx Nursing School student”推断出由护理学院学生组织）。
Shuttle app promotion
推广一款班车应用程序。读者群体是校园里没有私家车的学生和教职工。功能是推荐app（原文有“download”相关表达）。推断题：关于notification的信息——不会有很多不必要的通知（对应原文customized settings，针对性推送）。
A French-learning American student
一名学法语（French）的美国学生发布广告，求职法语辅导。

　　第一篇：Noise pollution solutions（噪音污染解决方案）

　　噪音会引发心脑血管疾病、睡眠不足等公众健康问题。当前正在探索多种降噪方法：

隔音墙（sound barrier）：在建筑立面上建造垂直花园，植物形状各异，使声波反射和折射不稳定，从而降低噪音传播。同时植物能吸收二氧化碳、释放氧气、调节温度、隔热保温、提升空气质量。
静音区（quiet zone）：在公园或居民区周围强制降低噪音水平。南欧一些城市的实践已显著缓解噪音引发的健康问题。
降噪材料（noise-reducing materials）：铺设于路面或墙面，减少声波震动，帮助城市设计者隔绝噪音。

　　第二篇：Veganism（素食主义）的变化

　　过去十年美国素食者数量显著增长，原因包括动物福利、环境问题、健康饮食。许多企业开始推广植物替代肉类，并获得家庭欢迎。但五六年前势头放缓，只有4%的美国人认为自己是坚定的素食主义者。烹饪植物比肉类更麻烦，例如用坚果制作奶制品耗时，且加工素食被认为过度加工而不健康。社交媒体也让人们认为摄入蛋白质促进健康，更多人选择摄入肉类。尽管部分消费者走极端，大多数美国人在饮食上非常灵活。

　　第三篇：Free will vs. determinism（自由意志与决定论）

　　有这样一种理论，无论是群体还是个人，都需要想清楚为什么要追求事物本质上的价值。这种价值是主观偏好、客观特征，还是内在价值？一些科学家认为道德价值与结果直接相关，这种对结果的关注在政治和经济领域产生了深刻影响。批评者指出，过度关注结果可能导致忽视个体权利，甚至为道德上的不当行为提供辩护。例如，为了让所有人获得医疗福利，可能会忽视罕见病患者的诉求。因此，有些人主张每个人的诉求都应得到满足，尽管利益冲突存在，但必须在不同群体之间权衡。

　　第四篇：The power of music（音乐的力量）

　　亚里士多德认为音乐具有伦理含义（ethical implications）；音乐可用于疗愈（healing）。

　　第五篇：Opal（蛋白石）

　　讲述了opal的形成原理及其呈现多种颜色的原因，用 prism（棱镜）作类比。opal容易开裂，珠宝商需要在严格条件下储存和运输。古人认为它有神秘特性，能带来好运或预言。
词汇题：prophecy（预言）
功能题：为什么要提到prism？——为了类比说明opal的成色原理。

　　第六篇：Coastal erosion（海岸侵蚀）

　　介绍了多种防治措施，例如填沙（beach nourishment），但需要不断补充（replenish）。一些方法会产生意想不到的破坏。最后提到最新的自然方式（natural ways）。
词汇题：exacerbate —— increase
细节题：全文对coastal erosion的描述不包括什么（需结合文中各方法排除）

　　第七篇：Sleep and health（睡眠与健康）

　　保持夜间睡眠充足对人体的影响。

　　第八篇：High-tech for patient data analysis（病人数据分析高科技）

　　一种分析病人数据的高科技，第一段讲用途，末尾段讲局限性和未来发展展望。

　　一、对话（Conversation）

租房讨论
一位女生与男生讨论找房进展。女生感到非常沮丧（discouraged），因为她找不到合适的住处：要么距离太远，要么租金过高或房间过小。她需要一个能同时容纳她的猫和露营装备的地方。男生建议她可以把帐篷放在睡袋里，暂存到他的住处。
推断题：女生的爱好是露营（go camping）。
换毛衣
学生购买了一件毛衣，但尺码太小，需要去商店更换。
屋顶维修通知
学校发布公告：因降雪导致屋顶损坏，需要维修。原定在该区域的活动将临时转移到学生餐厅（dining hall），餐厅将延长营业时间以 accommodate 学生需求。
细节题：维修的原因是恶劣天气。
推断题：学生餐厅的空间较为有限（seatings are quite limited）。
作业提交系统故障
学校的作业提交系统曾出现故障，现已修复。老师通知学生重新提交上一次的作业（assignment）。
细节题：故障的具体问题是什么？老师对给学生带来的不便表示歉意（feel sorry for what）。
回收箱公告
学校宣布在校园各处设置回收箱（recycle bins）。学生可以将废纸（paper waste）、金属罐（metal can）等可回收物品放入其中。

　　二、讲座（Lectures）

　　生物学 / 生态学

青蛙在生态系统中的角色
青蛙（frog）在生态系统中扮演重要角色。其数量减少的原因包括：化学药剂的使用，以及一种真菌（fungus）感染。讲座最后指出，青蛙与蜜蜂（bee）类似，是衡量生态系统健康的重要指示物种（indicator species）。
关键物种：灰狼
介绍关键物种（keystone species）的概念，以黄石国家公园（Yellowstone ecosystem）中的灰狼（gray wolf）为例，说明其对整个生态系统的深远影响。本题为重复旧题。
不能飞的大鸟的进化
考古生物学话题：探讨某些大型鸟类失去飞行能力的进化历程。
堆肥与化肥的对比
比较堆肥（compost）和化学肥料（chemical fertilizer）的利弊，强调堆肥在可持续农业中的优势。

　　化学 / 物理 / 材料

冰箱制冷剂的发明
化学课内容：早期冰箱使用的制冷剂具有毒性。后来有人发明了氟利昂（Freon），这种制冷剂更安全、更稳定。值得注意的是，这项发明并非研究者的最初目标，而是在进行其他实验时偶然发现的。讲座最后指出，许多重要发明都是“顺便出现”的。
纳米技术
介绍纳米技术（nanotechnology）的基本原理及其在不同领域的应用前景。
混凝土与钢材
讨论混凝土（concrete）和钢材（steel）在现代建筑中的特性、优缺点及发展历史。
蛋白石的形成（可能归为地质/材料）
讲座曾出现一次。

　　艺术 / 文学 / 音乐

立体主义的起源
艺术史话题：立体主义（cubism）的起源与发展，重点介绍毕加索（Picasso）的创作特色——从多个不同角度同时观察并表现一个物体。讲座中以咖啡杯（coffee cup）为例进行类比。最后一小段讲述了该艺术流派对后世的影响。
创意写作：骰子方法
创意写作课（creative writing）中介绍一种激发新观点的方法：使用骰子（dice），但骰子的每一面印有图片（pictures）而非数字。这种方法同样可以应用于社交聚会（social gathering）的破冰环节。本题为重复旧题。
彩色玻璃的历史与用途
讲解 stained glass（彩色玻璃）在过去（如教堂建筑）和现在（现代艺术与装饰）的使用方式及其演变。
音乐类型与社会结构
不同音乐类型如何反映社会结构和社会价值观。例如：巴洛克时期（Baroque period）的音乐风格庄重严肃；爵士乐（jazz）体现自由与自我表达；非洲某种传统音乐类型则强调社区（community）的重要性。
史前艺术（prehistoric art）

　　心理学 / 认知科学

认知失调
介绍认知失调（cognitive dissonance）理论，即当人们同时持有两种矛盾信念或行为与信念不一致时所产生的不适感，以及人们如何通过改变态度或行为来减少这种不适。

　　商业 / 经济

组织灵活性
讲座讨论企业组织灵活性（organizational agility）对成功的重要性。举例说明一家流媒体公司（streaming media company）并非通过增加员工或在线广告，而是通过改变其产品内容（changing what it offered）取得了成功。

　　二、学术讨论写作（Academic Discussion Writing）

　　第一套：Minimum wage（最低工资）

　　教授：Is minimum wage good?
学生A：Yes. 最低工资可以确保人们的基本生活。
学生B：No. 最低工资会给企业带来负担。

　　（讨论最低工资的两个方面：一是保障基本生活，二是可能增加企业成本。）

　　第二套：Character development – sports vs. family/education（性格塑造：运动还是家庭与教育）

　　Dr. Gupta
Today we‘ll discuss the role of sports in building character and discipline. Clearly, participating in sports can teach valuable life skills such as teamwork, perseverance, and discipline. On the other hand, some people believe that character and discipline are primarily developed through other means, such as family upbringing and education. Which do you believe plays a larger role in character development? Why?

　　Student A (Kelly)
I believe that the values and lessons taught at home and in school provide a strong foundation for developing character and discipline. I practiced many sports, and while I did enjoy participating in these sports, I do not remember learning any life skills directly from them.

　　Student B (Paul)
I think participating in sports is crucial for building character and discipline. I remember the time when I played volleyball in my first year of college, and it significantly helped me develop my social skills.

　　第三套：Preservation of indigenous culture（土著文化保护）

　　教授：Should local/indigenous people be encouraged to keep their own culture, or should they be encouraged to learn outside culture?
学生A：They should keep their own, as it is their culture.
学生B：They should learn from the outside, since outside culture is usually better.

　　第四套：Literature‘s role in shaping societal values（文学对社会价值观的影响）

　　Dr. Gupta
We’ve been discussing the role of literature in shaping societal values. Literature, which includes plays, poetry, and novels, can reflect and influence the beliefs and behaviors of a society. Some argue that literature is a powerful tool that can be used to inspire positive social change. But critics believe that literature‘s impact is limited compared to other forms of media. Do you think literature plays a significant role in shaping societal values? Why or why not?

　　Student A (Claire)
Literature plays a significant role in shaping societal values because it gives people a unique opportunity to perceive and think about the feelings of others. Through storytelling, it can inspire empathy and provoke critical thinking about social issues. Books have historically influenced movements and brought awareness to important causes.

　　Student B (Andrew)
While literature has some impact, other forms of media like television and social media are more influential in shaping societal values today. These platforms reach a broader audience and can quickly spread ideas and trends. Most people prefer these newer forms of media because they are less challenging than literary works are.

　　第五套：Automation / AI and employment（自动化与就业）

　　Dr. Gupta
Automation is a much-discussed topic in economics, one that continues to grow in importance with today‘s advances in robotics and artificial intelligence, or AI. Robots and AI provide powerful ways to replace human labor by doing work better and faster than people can. Automation can have very positive effects on businesses and the broader economy, but there are disadvantages as well. What do you think? Is the use of automation a positive development overall? Why or why not?

　　Student A (Paul)
I think the use of automation is a positive development. If AI and robots are used instead of human workers, companies will be able to produce many more products than they do now. They can also lower costs, making those products cheaper for people to buy. As a result, everyone will have access to more affordable products.

　　Student B (Kelly)
I worry about the psychological effects on people as AI and robots take over work. I doubt humans will really be happy with ever-greater amounts of leisure time. Many of us derive satisfaction from working and doing our jobs well. In fact, never in human history have we been able to spend large parts of our days labor-free.

　　第六套：Storytelling vs. fact-based communication（讲故事与事实沟通）

　　在做presentation的时候，storytelling和基于事实信息的communication哪个更有效。
