前人總結出的託福成績複議四條潛規則

託福成績不滿意，我要去複議!然而，託福成績複議真的會提高分數嗎?什麼情況下可以進行成績複議?一起來看看前人總結出的託福成績複議四條潛規則。

前人總結出的託福成績複議四條潛規則

一、什麼時候有託福成績複議的必要?

其實簡單來說，應該是在自己的分數跟需要的分數很接近的時候，比如你現在98分，然後你需要100分的時候;或者是你現在77分，然後你需要80分的時候，你進行復議。亦或者是這所學校對於口語或者作文的單項有最低成績要求，而你的分數恰好又相差不多(1-5分的時候)你纔有複議的必要。

二、什麼情況值得託福成績複議?

這個分口語和寫作兩部分，說說大家對自己分數產生的幻覺。

口語部分，很多同學看別人3個f是22分，自己3個f也應該是22分，如果沒達到就要複議。其實別人的經驗對沒有任何參考，況且每一場考試分數都會根據考試難度有浮動，光比較成績是沒用的。

寫作部分就更主觀了，有時候自己認爲寫的很不錯的文章，專業老師看還是能挑出不少毛病。建議大家在平常練習時就參照OG上的評分標準檢查，如果平常的文章就有一些語法錯誤和拼寫錯誤的話，真正考試的時候只會多不會少，提分的可能性就不大。

必須強調的是：複議不是提分手段，只是給你一個重新公正評審的機會。對照OG上的口語和寫作的標準仔細回憶考場上的情況，如果覺得和自己的預估的成績差很多，那纔去複議。

三、託福成績複議一定漲分?多少人漲分，多少人降分?

之前在談雅思複議時和大家分享過，雅思複議一定不會降分，只可能持平或者提分，但是託福不一樣。如果你要求ETS重新對於你的託福口語或者作文進行評分，那麼這個分數有可能上漲，也有可能下降!且用且謹慎!

據GTER統計，單項：有262人降分，452人漲分。降3分以上的爲116人，降1-3分的爲146人;漲3分以上的143人，漲1-3分的309人。

兩項合計的話：降分54人，漲分135人。降5分以上的21人，降1-5分的33人，漲5分以上的67人，漲1-5分的68人。

這個數據清晰的爲我們表明：

單項漲分的人佔63%，相應的降分的佔37%。

兩項合起來漲分的人佔71%，降分的佔29%。

這其中，口語漲分的情況比較多，相對的作文複議之後結果變化不大。

從這些數據之中我們可以看出，大多數人複議之後，分數是上漲的，單項漲分的佔63%，兩項漲分的佔71%;但是，也有一小部分人分數是有所下降的，單項降分的佔37%，兩項減分的佔29%。

因此從這個角度來看，如果你的分數已經夠用了，那麼考慮到有可能降分，因此建議不要再花錢復議了。但是如果是向前面所說的，恰好某個單項分數不夠，或者總分跟要求的分數差一點，可以複議，否則最好不要複議了。

複議的風險

除了複議可能會降低分數之外，這裏還有一點潛規則，也就是其實複議的時間長短在這裏沒有明確表明，從經驗來看，複議結果，快的話1-2周，慢的話2個月都是有可能的。時間上極爲沒準，因此，如果着急要分，不如馬上拿錢再考一次!

四、什麼情況下進行復議成功率高?

什麼時候複議成功率最高，尤其還是主觀性較強的口語和寫作部分，還真不好說，能給大家最中肯的建議就是對照託福OG上口語和寫作部分的評分標準，仔細回憶考試當天的情況，如果和判斷的結果相差很大的話，再複議成功率較高。

再給大家一些具體的數據做參考，拿口語舉例：

1、其他單項分數高， 託福口語單項分數低：比如複議前是28+26+18+25，這種情況複議漲分的可能比較大;

2、Good、Limited、Fair這些等級是可以改變的：不要太在意複議前limited、fair這些等級。複議時候這個fair、limited等級是會重新評定的，所以還是要根據自己的考場發揮來判斷漲分空間。比如曾經有一位考生，複議前是2個limited1個fair，複議後就變成3個fair了。

3、複議加分的可能性：據統計，100個考生申請複議，分數變化的是10%左右。其中加分的是7個，減分的是3個。按以往復議數據來看，寫作分數漲分的可能性比口語更小。因此，考慮是否複議要考慮到減分的風險。最好的選擇當然是再刷一次託福。

託福閱讀背景知識：雨林中動物傳遞信息的方式

託福閱讀真題再現：

講的是動物、昆蟲的發聲的問題

最開始怎麼說的記不清楚了，第一層應該就是rain forest裏面的小東東怎麼讓聲音傳播。熱帶雨林裏面這麼吵，要讓同類聽到自己還是很不容易的，尤其對於那些小昆蟲什麼的，而且很多小東西通過發聲來求偶交配嘛，你們都懂的!!!Rain forest這裏舉了一個樹蛙的例子，就是這小青蛙用的一種招數，它一般會進到有水的樹洞， 身體一部分沒入水中，然後開始發聲，找到與大樹能共鳴的頻率，這不就能傳的更高更遠嘛。(有排除題)

下面一層應該是講birds，同時提到了它們叫的時間一般是在早上和黃昏，那個時候聲音能傳得更遠， 但是有些時候也會讓天敵們發現之類的(沒記錯的話，最少有倆道題)

最後一層應該是提到了不同物種的發聲頻率不同，這能讓它們被分辨出來。還有一個教授，把聲音錄下來回去分析，發現每個雨林的聲音還不太一樣，也是unique的，甚至可以像人類的指紋一樣去分辨樹林的獨特聲音什麼的(有題)

老師解析：

本篇文章講解了雨林中不同動物不同的傳遞信息的方式。屬於生物學中典型的話題，請大家理解文章時重點關注生物傳遞信息的方式與雨林環境的適應性的體現。相應背景請參考下文：

The daytime quality of light in forests varies with the density of the vegetation, the angle of the Sun, and the amount of cloud in the sky. Both animals and plants have different appearances in these various lighting conditions. A color or pattern that is relatively indistinct in one kind of light may be quite conspicuous in another.

In the varied and constantly changing light environment of the forest, an animal must be able to send visual signals to members of its own species and at the same time avoid being detected by predators. An animal can hide from predators by choosing the light environment in which its pattern is least visible. This may require moving to different parts of the forest at different times of the day or under different weather conditions, or it may be achieved by changing color according to the changing light conditions. Many species of amphibians (frogs and toads) and reptiles (lizards and snakes) are able to change their color patterns to camouflage themselves. Some also signal by changing color. The chameleon lizard has the most striking ability to do this. Some chameleon species can change from a rather dull appearance to a full riot of carnival colors in seconds. By this means, they signal their level of aggression or readiness to mate.

Other species take into account the changing conditions of light by performing their visual displays only when the light is favorable. A male bird of paradise may put himself in the limelight by displaying his spectacular plumage in the best stage setting to attract a female. Certain butterflies move into spots of sunlight that have penetrated to the forest floor and display by opening and closing their beautifully patterned wings in the bright spotlights. They also compete with each other for the best spot of sunlight.

Very little light filters through the canopy of leaves and branches in a rain forest to reach ground level—or close to the ground—and at those levels the yellow-to-green wavelength predominate. A signal might be most easily seen if it is maximally bright. In the green-to-yellow lighting conditions of the lowest levels of the forest, yellow and green would be the brightest colors, but when an animal is signaling, these colors would not be very visible if the animal was sitting in an area with a yellowish or greenish background. The best signal depends not only on its brightness but also on how well it contrasts with the background against which it must be seen. In this part of the rain forest, therefore, red and orange are the best colors for signaling, and they are the colors used in signals by the ground-walking Australian brush turkey. This species, which lives in the rain forests and scrublands of the east coast of Australia, has a brown-to-black plumage with bare, bright-red skin on the head and a neck collar of orange-yellow loosely hanging skin. During courtship and aggressive displays, the turkey enlarges its colored neck collar by inflating sacs in the neck region and then flings about a pendulous part of the colored signaling apparatus as it utters calls designed to attract or repel. This impressive display is clearly visible in the light spectrum illuminating the forest floor.

Less colorful birds and animals that inhabit the rain forest tend to rely on forms of signaling other than the visual, particularly over long distances. The piercing cries of the rhinoceros hornbill characterize the Southeast Asian rain forest, as do the unmistakable calls of the gibbons. In densely wooded environments, sound is the best means of communication over distance because in comparison with light, it travels with little impediment from trees and other vegetation. In forests, visual signals can be seen only at short distances, where they are not obstructed by trees. The male riflebird exploits both of these modes of signaling simultaneously in his courtship display. The sounds made as each wing is opened carry extremely well over distance and advertise his presence widely. The ritualized visual display communicates in close quarters when a female has approached.

託福閱讀背景知識：如何處理害蟲

講得是pest的問題，如何處理害蟲。。

先講了一個例子好像是美國西南部，具體記不清了，其實是爲了引出 chemical 方法 ，就是殺蟲劑pesticide，而且還講了殺蟲劑的負作用，會對native的一些物種造成預想不到的損傷。同時pest產生耐藥性的時間大約5年，遠短於研製出新的pesticide所需要的時間。(就是說這方法有明顯缺陷，好引出下面的方法，你們懂得!!!肯定有題的嘛...)

然後就講了biological方法，引進pest的天敵，因爲多數頑固的pest其實是外來物種，之所以成爲pest就是沒有天敵。這裏舉了中國古代的一個例子，知道例子的功能就好。 (有題)然後這提到了一些不足，細節記不太清楚了。

最後來到了終極大招，一個叫IPM的方法讓害蟲們明白!!!其實就是一種integrated的什麼方法，綜合考慮各種因素，什麼經濟啊，生物學啊，如果不得不用殺蟲劑要控制劑量啊等等(有排除題)。其實我覺得不算新方法，但是就是綜合考慮，然後就有了IPM這樣一個酷炫的名字。

本篇文章講解了處理害蟲的不同方法。理解文章時按照不同的處理方法梳理文章的結構，不同的方法要把握住作者關於其優點和缺點的介紹，不同的方法的不同特點爲文章出題的題點。

Insects become resistant to chemical insecticides very rapidly—it can happen in as few as five generations. This is natural selection at work.

The problem is that an insecticide never kills all of its intended victims. If even a few insects survive, they will reproduce. These surviving insects will produce two types of young—those that are resistant to the spray, and those that are not. The non-resistant insects will be killed in the next spraying, but those that are left reproduce. At each generation, the number of naturally resistant insects in the population increases.

An individual insect does not become resistant during its lifetime. It is born either resistant or non-resistant, and it is the population as a whole that gradually becomes resistant to the pesticide over time. The Bt toxins become ineffective, and the benefits of using them (less toxicity to non-target species) disappear.

As this occurs, a new pesticide must be developed. Over time, populations of insects can become resistant to more and more pesticides. As a result, humans need to make different pesticides that are generally stronger.

Organic farmers have used Bt on their crops for a number of years. They are concerned that the increased use of the Bt toxin could speed up the development of resistant insect populations.

Entomologists know that controlled, laboratory experiments with generations of insects cannot be easily reproduced in the field. How the resistant insects breed with refuge insects, and over what time frames, will determine the success of this technology.

These concerns are balanced by concerns that existing pesticide practices can be much more dangerous for non-target insect species than insect-resistant crops. Conventional non-selective pesticides kill many non-target insects. By reducing the number of sprays needed, insect-resistant crops help to preserve beneficial predator insects and simplify management decisions.
