TOEFL的网络考、机考、纸考三种考分的分段对照表表1TOEFL写作的网络考、机考、纸考三种考分的分段对照表表2TOEFL听力理解的网络考、机考、纸考三种考分的分段对照表表3TOEFL阅读理解的网络考、机考、纸考三种考分的分段对照表一、iBT听力理解试题答题要求如下：1．显而易见，听力材料的形式是会话和讲话两大类，还是只让考生听一次。
听完答题的依据是听懂并理解它的主题，或称中心思想，以及抓好与此相关的事实细节。
另一些问题有更高的要求。
它不仅需要考生理解听力材料的意思（sentence meaning），并且需要考生判断说话人、讲话人的意图（utterance meaning）。
新iBT听力理解允许考生在听的时候记笔记，以备答题时用。
2．听力材料的某些部分前标有这个图标，它表明这部分材料只供考生听，考生看不到。
有些问题有特殊的答题要求，它们会显示在屏幕的灰色格子里。
大多数问题的分值为1分；如果某个问题的分值超过1分，该题的答题要求会告知考生，它是几分。
3．考生每题必答。
答完一题，需点击“Next”，再点击“OK”确认，才能做下一题。
点击“OK”确认后，不能返回至前一题。
4．听力理解部分的答题时限为20分钟。
屏幕上方显示时限倒计时。
在放送听力材料时，倒计时不再显示。
新网络TOEFL考试听力理解的问题，供考生边听边读。
一．iBT听力理解材料的特点。
新TOEFL的听力理解材料由两类组成：对话或讨论；讲话或演讲。
对话是两个说话人就某个话题进行、长度约300词左右的听力材料；讨论为多人参与的围绕某个主题展开、长度约800余词的听力材料；而讲话或演讲指一个说话人的讲话，如老师的讲课，长度约700至800词。
新TOEFL的听力材料非常强调说话的真实性（authenticity）。
所谓真实性，其一，它的语速与本族语说话人（English native speaker）的语速相仿；其二，听力材料中很自然地含有fillers：sort of, uh, um, so, well, etc.；和口语体：we’re gonna talk about ...; An’ I’m gonna get into…；以及说话人下意识的、或是为了强调而有意识的“重复（repetition）”；等等。
另一个显著的特点是讲话与讨论融合。
如教授的讲课与学生的讨论结合；讲课后教授与学生的问与答。
二．iBT听力理解问题的特点。
新TOEFL的听力理解的题型呈多元化趋势。
它保留了其招牌式的、用来得心应手的“四选一”多项选择题，还新增加了“多选多”选择题。
此外，试题中的填表和配对题是新面孔。
与以往不同，iBT听力试题鼓励考生在听时做笔记，笔记可供考生答题时使用。
请看以下样题。
SAMPLE QUESTIONS:[Narrator: Now get ready to answer the questions. You may use your notes to help you answer.]1. What is the talk mainly about?□ A comparison of two approaches to decision-making□A formula for evaluating business plans□A process for improving decision-making□A method for gaining consensus within groups每次答题前，屏幕都会显示以上界面，同时听到与界面内容相同的旁白，让考生稍有片刻做好答题准备。
第1题是四选一多项选择题，听完，答题的依据是听懂该讲话并理解它的主题，或称中心思想。
答题的方法是用鼠标点击被选的选择项前的“□”，再点击“Next”，再点击“OK”确认，随后做下一题。
点击“OK”确认后，不能返回至前一题。
2. In the lecture, the professor describes the steps in AHP. Indicate whether eachof the following is a step in the process. Click in the correct box for each phrase.第2题为填表是非题，要求考生在理解讲话的基础上抓好相关的事实细节。
答题的方法是用鼠标点击每一行后的空格，判定前列信息是否是属于讲话中描述AHP的步骤之一，点击Yes栏下的空格表示“属于”，点击No栏下的空格表示“不属于”。
在点击“OK”前，可以更改，一旦点击“OK”确认后，就不能返回。
3. Why does the professor mention the floor plan of a house?□To give an example of a factor that would influence a decision□To give a personal example of a time he found AHP to be useful□To show that AHP can be applied to the design of houses□To name some criteria that are not important in decision-making4. According to the professor, what is one important result of using AHP?□People can make decisions more quickly.□People are provided with several different outcomes.□People can take advantage of the latest technology.□People can better understand the decisions they make.第3、4题是四选一多项选择题，要求考生在理解讲话的基础上抓好相关的事实细节。
答题的方法是用鼠标点击被选的选择项前的“□”，再点击“Next”，再点击“OK”确认，随后做下一题。
点击“OK”确认后，不能返回至前一题。
5. What does the professor mean when he says this:[The following text will only be heard.][Professor:Now there’s some AHP software out there that lets you do the math, but I’m not gonna get into that level of detail now. The important thing that I want to talk about is not the mathematics of it so much as the concept.]□He wants the students to use the AHP software for an assignment.□He does not think the AHP software is useful.□He wants to give only a general explanation of AHP.□He thinks the students can understand the mathematics without his help.[Narrator: Listen again to part of the lecture. Then answer the question.][Professor: Of the houses you’re considering, uh, is cost more important than location or, say, one has a big kitchen but only two bedrooms. Is that OK?]6. Why does the professor say this:[This text will only be heard.][Professor: Is that OK?]□To express uncertainty about the process.□To indicate an example of a decision to be made.□To check the students’ understanding of the process.□To find out what the students prefer.第5、6题是“复听题”。
它要求考生在复听讲话某个段落才答题。
复听题有两种。
一种是问该复听部分的字面、句面意思（sentence meaning），另一种是问复听部分的涵义（utterance meaning）。
那么，第5题属前者，第6题为后者。
下面是与第1至6题相关的讲话原文。
Professor:OK, uh let’s um, let’s start. Uh, tonight we’re gonna talk about one approach to structuring decision-making on a specific topic, sort of um…oh when you’re in a decision-making process in a business situation, and you’ve got all the participants there sort of voicing opinions and negotiating, and there are lots of different factors to consider in your decision…uh, the technique we’re gonna talk about is uh, it’s a way to sort of structure that decision and arrive at a better decision. It’s called AHP, or Analytic, um, Analytic Hierarchy Process.Now, the first step is to develop, a hierarchy by breaking the problem down into its components, and then prioritizing the com ponents, as you’ll see.Now there’s some AHP software out there that lets you do the math, but I’m not gonna get into that level of detail now. The important thing that I want to talk about is not the mathematics of it so much as the concept.I, I want you to understand the logic behind Analytic Hierarchy Process and the basic approach.OK…so uh, let’s say, if I was trying to buy a house, a house is actually a pretty good example. It’s not a good example for a business class, necessarily, but it’ll certainl y do for today.You, you start with your main goal. An’ then you break it down into smaller parts. All right…so uh, taking our example of, of buying a house…I would have to determine the goal for the house-hunting effort, uh choose the house that would be uh,…most, well, the best fit for my family. What would be your goal in trying to find a house? Well, uh let’s just say, make the best choice in, in buying a new house. Now, now that’s the goal.So now that you’ve established a goal, you establish your crit eria. And um, under criteria I would list for me what were the important factors that will influence the decision. And…they would be things like uh, like the cost. And, uh what else? Uh, location. Location, I think, would typically be one in most of our models, and maybe one more. How about floor plan?—The layout of the rooms. So, so we have cost, location, floor plan…those might be our key criteria for choosing a house.Then you get down to the subcriteria under each of these three criteria. So, so let’s s ay, under floor plan, the subcriteria are, you want a big kitchen, 3 bedrooms, a basement. And after you’ve determined all the criteria and subcriteria, um then you go back and you start making pairwise comparisons between them…uh, judgments about two of these things at a time.Of the houses you’re considering, uh, is cost more important than location or, say, one has a big kitchen but only two bedrooms. Is that OK?You move through the hierarchy making judgments about 1 pair of choices at a time. You see, it, it it’s designed to reflect the way people actually think…humans are much more,…capable of making relative rather than absolute judgments. Basically, we’ve reduced a rather complex decision into a series of one-on-one comparisons.Um, so what AHP does is it requires me to develop a schematic model of what I’m looking for. So, so, right off the bat I have to articulate and think about and identify these factors, these criteria.And when I start comparing the criteria, these factors, um, it enables me to come up with the relative importance of each factor at a given level in the model. So, in other words, what the model does is it helps us set our priorities, and it forces us to make our priorities explicit. It, it not, not only helps make the best decisi on, we’re also a lot clearer on why we made the decision. And understanding why we made the decision makes it easier to convince the boss or the shareholders that it’s a good decision.为了进一步说明新TOEFL听力理解问题的特点，尤其是加深对复听题特征的认识，理顺解题思路，再举个例子。
