Answer 1

【文章大意】本文介紹了托�？荚�，分別介紹了聽力、詞匯和閱讀、結(jié)構(gòu)及寫作四種題型及它們的分數(shù)和時間等相關(guān)信息。

D 細節(jié)理解題。從第一段中的"The TOEFL test on com-puter combines many of the same question types as the tradi?tional paper-based test with new question types that are only offered in the computer format(格式）."可以得出答案。

D推理判斷題。通過倒數(shù)第二段最后一句話"Six is the highest possible score in the Writing Section."可知寫作部分滿分是6分。故考生最多得6分。

B 推理判斷題'根據(jù)"Structure: 0〜30 points； measures a student's ability to recognize language appropriate for standard written English."可知結(jié)構(gòu)部分主要考查學生書面標準語的準確性，故可以判斷這部分是考查語法的。

C推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段可知一個月只能參加一次托福考試，同一月份參加兩次，分數(shù)不上報，考試費不退還，所以可以判斷答案為C。

[拓展延伸] 佳句賞析

The purpose of the TOEFL test is to evaluate the English level of people who are non-native English speakers.
