Format

Part VII is the longest part of TOEIC. It's also the last part, so you may be starting to get tired. However, you need to stay focused on the test for a little longer. (Of course, if you want, you may work on part VII before you work on parts V and VI.)
Part VII consists of short reading passages followed by questions about the passages. There are four possible answer choices for each question. You must pick the best answer choice based on the information in the passage and then mark that answer on your answer sheet.
The Passages
There are from twelve to fifteen passages. Most are quite short. Some consist of only three or four sentences; the longest have around 150 words. The passages deal with a wide variety of topics and involve many different types of written materials.
There are from two to five questions per passage for a total of 40 questions. They include these three main types:
1. Overview questions
2. Detail questions
3. Inference questions
_Overview questions occur after most of the passages. To answer overview questions correctly, you need a "global" (overall) understanding of the passage. The most common overview question asks about the purpose or the main topic of the passage:
What does this article mainly discuss?
What is the purpose of this letter?
Why was this notice written?
Some ask about the best title or heading of a passage:
What is the best heading for this announcement?
Which of the fo/lowing is the best title for the article?
Other overview questions ask about the writer of the passage, the readers of the passage, or the place of publication:
In what business is the writer of the passage?
What is the author's opinion of ____ ?
Who would be most interested in the information in this announcement?
For whom is this advertisement intended?
Where was this article probably published_Detail questions, the most common type of Part VII question, ask about specific points in the passage. You will usually have to scan the passage to find and identify the information. Sometimes the answer and the information in the passage do not look the same. For example, a sentence in a passage may read "This process is not as simple as it once was." The correct answer may be "The process is now more complex."
Some detail questions are negative questions. These almost always include the word NOT, which is printed in uppercase (capital) letters:
Based on the information in the passage, which of the following is NOT true?
Negative questions usually take longer to answer than other detail questions.
_A few questions in Part VII are inference questions. The answers to these questions are not directly stated in the passage. Instead, you must draw a conclusion about the information that is given. Some typical inference questions:
Which of these statements is probably true?
Which of the following can be inferred from this notice?
Answer Choices
All are believable answers to the questions. Incorrect choices often contain information that is presented somewhere in the passage but does not correctly answer the question.
A Note About Vocabulary
Most of the vocabulary in the passages consists of relatively common English words and phrases, but there will certainly be expressions that you do not know. However, you can understand most of a reading and answer most of the questions even if you don't know the meaning of all the words. Also, you can guess the meaning of many unfamiliar words in the passages through context. In other words, you can use the familiar words in the sentence in which an unfamiliar word appears to get an idea of what the unfamiliar word means.

託業聽力成績提高法精聽
一些學生在參加託業(TOEIC)考試的時候，存在一個很普遍的現象，那就是語法還不錯但聽力卻一般。可能有的人會說那是因爲沒有好的語言環境。這種說法比較片面，本人覺得根本原因是聽力基本功沒有練好，也就是“精聽”這關沒有過!其實託業聽力和閱讀一樣，也可以分爲“精聽”和“泛聽”。對於那些想提高託業聽力的網友來說，“精聽”是一個必須的過程。而“精聽”也有它遵循的步驟：
1、先泛聽一遍或幾遍，弄懂大概意思。
2、再仔細地聽，可以一句一句反覆地聽，把聽到的內容寫下來。
3、把自己聽寫的跟原文相對照，閱讀原文，弄懂原文意思。
4、根據自己所聽的和原文的意思，再仔細聽，直至聽明白每一個詞爲止。
在進行精聽的時候，還要注意發音中的一些小細節，比如單詞的連讀，弱讀，爆破等。可以採用跟讀的方式，這樣，不光練習了聽力，你的口語水平也會提高的。此外，還要做到“耳腦並用”，在練聽的同時，屏棄中國式的思維方式。
託業聽力部分的應考策略及樣題分析
Part I: 圖片題(Photographs)
簡單的來說，就是看圖說話。你會看到如下的一張圖片 。
你需要聽出來的是四個選項中哪一項的描述了這張圖片。
(A) They’re leaving the room.
(B) They’re turning on the machine.
(C) They’re standing near the table
(D) They’re reading the newspaper.
這道題的正確答案是C。
很多人看這張圖片的第一反應是他們正在討論某個話題。但是在被選項中，卻沒有出現discuss這個關鍵詞。因此，對於圖片題來說，切忌先入爲主，設定關鍵詞。你需要做的就是尋找選項與圖片之間的吻合度。大多數情況下正確答案都是對這個場景的第三方描述。
Part II: 問答題(Question-Response)
這部分的題目給考生帶來的困擾來源於從考題獲得的信息量偏少。
你可以看到僅僅是 Mark your answer on the answer sheet
你不但要聽題幹，更要聽被選項。例如：
Ms. Morikawa has worked here for a long time, hasn’t she?
(A) At three o’clock.
(B) No, I’ve lost my watch.
(C) More than ten years.
答案是C。你需要設身處地從題乾的角度來選擇恰當的回答。中國的同學已經習慣從選項中推測對話的內容，做到心中有數。但是這裏你沒有辦法這麼去做，因此對於你的實際環境裏的交流能力作出了測試。
Part III: 對話題(Conversations)
這部分是中國考生最熟悉的類型。聽取一段對話，大約4句，然後回答2-3道問題。例如：
(Woman) I think I’ll have to take the train to the regional sales meeting up in the city next week.
(Man) don’t you usually drive when you go to those meetings? I thought you didn’t like to take the train.
(Women) I don’t, but the highway’s being repaired, and I’m afraid I might be late if I have to make a detour through an area I don’t know very well.
(Men) you’re right. and it’ll be expensive to park up there, too
你需要回答一些問題諸如
Why is the woman going to the city?
(A) To attend a sale考試大論壇
(B) To go to a meeting
(C) To get her car repaired
(D) To go on a tour
在這個題目中就明顯的包含了幾種常見的可能出現的錯誤。比如，原文當中有detour(繞開)這個詞，而D選項中tour來迷惑考生。整個對話的主題是圍繞着交通展開的，會讓考生錯誤的選擇C選項。正確的答案是B，因爲本題問的是女生去城市的目的，而不是手段。正確的信息來源是 to regional meeting。
商業托福考生考試心得分享：關於我的870
在8月28的託業考試我得了440+430=870 雖然不是非常高的分，但應一個網友的要求，我想談談我對託業考試的心得。
在開始之前 我覺得有幾點很有必要申明
1 我只對我在整個學習過程中做過的事談談，沒有做的，或事後覺得可能會有用的想法我不會提出來，因爲沒有自己去做，可行性值得推敲。
2 每個人的英語基礎不同，學習方法各異，我的方法不見得就是適用於你的，僅供參考。
3 我的英語基礎：4級87 6級73。所以在開始借鑑我的方法時多考慮你的英語處於怎樣的水平，不要盲目照搬。
4 學習英語是個漫長的過程，要的是持之以恆，沒有捷徑。請不要寄希望於靠神奇的方法來使英語突飛猛進。
5 我是大四學生，迫於找工作需要，考的TOEIC。我認爲它對英語水平提高沒有什麼幫助。所以，想考的同學要清楚自己考這個目的是什麼，不要什麼熱就考什麼。
一 報名：
報名的步驟很簡單，可以到託業官網去看看。總的來說就是匯款+註冊。我報名是通過電話與大連一個指定點聯繫後報名的，除了匯款，其餘的程序都在網上完成的。是打電話到一個指定點，由他們指導報名流程，非常便捷。
二 複習材料準備：
現在網上似乎託業真題是很難找，我在假期前去學校的圖書館借了兩本ETS出的託業模擬題集，好象是個在託業和ETS領域幹了很多年的老頭寫的。再配了磁帶，就放假回家開始準備了。建議書買比較新的版本，我的那本就很老了，98年出的，我在考試中就發現聽力和閱讀與練的出入挺大。
至於託業詞彙，聽力資料什麼的，我沒有找到，所以不妄做評論。
三 準備過程：
首先明確一點，這是個水平考試，一切都是以你現有的基礎來作準備的。不要想一下就達到什麼水平，你所做的只是完美的體現出你的水平，而非通過考試來提高你的水平。我在回家前做了一套模擬題，720分，但是答的太快，塗完卡還剩了30分鐘，覺得沒有充分發揮水平。後來慢慢做，剩個20分鐘左右的速度，開始穩定在770左右。所以先摸清楚你的水平，再做其他打算。
其次，我沒有做單項針對練習，都是一套套做的。我認爲適應這個題量和時間是很重要的。
我的學習方法：
閱讀單選部分：
通過幾套題後，我意識到，後100題雖然簡單(每次可以保持在錯12道左右)，但是在上面拿更高的分很難了，因爲那些基礎性的東西是很難短時間提高的。所以把精力放在後100題是不明智的。
聽力部分：
聽力部分則是託業的重點。聽力決定了你的成績是否能拔尖。聽力部分總分比閱讀單選部分多十分。我一開始聽力要錯25個左右，而且連續很多套題我都是穩定在錯25個，說明的確是水平考試，光練題聽力似乎沒有什麼進展。我沒有其他資料，就採取以下的方法：
1 模擬一套題後，對完答案，開始反覆聽聽力部分，一道一道的聽。通常是聽上3，4遍還是聽不懂，就看聽力原文。接着把不熟悉的詞彙和表達記到一個本子上。再反覆聽，達到一種程度——就是不動腦筋就聽懂了就行。因爲我口語一直學的是美語，對美語的發音習慣比較瞭解，所以很容易進入狀態。想要聽力提高，和你的口語發音，詞彙記憶是很有關係的。如果你讀的記的都是錯的，又怎麼能聽懂呢。建議注意區分美音和英音。
2 每天堅持聽一篇VOA STANDARD。方法同上，直到聽得明明白白。不建議聽SPECIAL，太慢了，只能拖慢你的聽力。要聽就聽正常語速的。
這樣堅持了8套題，但是我覺得還是沒有什麼起色，不過我相信我的目前水平還沒有完全展示，繼續堅持學習就行了。在假期斷斷續續(光玩了)做了這8套後(那時候好象還沒有上800)，很沮喪的提前回到學校繼續練習。
在學校宿舍一個人，平靜多了，開始安心學習。還是那套方法，多了一個詞彙筆記和單選改錯的錯題集。
逐漸的，我發現託業聽力有規律可循，就兩個字“邏輯”。很多聽力內容都遵循這個，問什麼，答什麼，都有很強的邏輯性。尤其是PART2 一定要注意聽清第一句話的疑問詞，WHERE WHEN WHAT還是什麼，答案就跑不了了。
我聽力的考試技巧是這樣的：
開始試音，迅速開始看PART4部分，一直看到PART1的試音結束，開始答PART1。PART2開始試音時開始看PART3，看多少算多少。PART3試音時開始重新看PART3。
PART2：一定要注意聽清第一句話的疑問詞，WHERE WHEN WHAT還是什麼，用正常的邏輯推理，答案就很明確了。
PART3：練習多了同學會發現PAET3有些對話根本不用聽完，如果你預先看了選項，聽前兩句就能得到答案了，後面的信息大多是用來輔助說明的。但也有些陷阱什麼的，不過佔少數。
PART4：PART4的預讀很重要，同時時間也是最充足的。因爲通常是聽完我們基本就選完了，而考題卻還要逐道的說“現在請答...題”。這個時間就可以用來看下面的題了。
除了邏輯性外，還要注意，如果沒有聽懂，千萬不要在那裏思考，一旦停頓，會嚴重影響你後面的答題。沒聽懂就立刻放下，做下一個。
這樣堅持練習，嚴格按照考試模擬，對這門考試就能很好應付了，也能體現出你的真實水平了。我回學校後的第2套題終於上了800，然後發現模擬練習基本就停留在840左右了，我的閱讀沒有什麼變化，但是聽力是明顯好多了，能保持在錯15個左右。聽力對80個以上，總分上800就很容易了。
之後我保持了考前一天一套模擬題，最後27號休息一天，27號下午到了大連，28號考完。
兩週後查到成績 聽力440 閱讀430，總分870。
最後我想說的是，個人的學習方法都不同，能自己找到適合自己的路。考試時調整好心態，相信實力到了，自然能得那些分數。這個過程中，我認爲我提高的只是考試的技巧，而TOEIC對於英語的提高真是微乎其微。希望大家還是注重平時的積累和學習，注重英語的聽和說的應用，而不是爲了考證書而學習英語。我很喜歡英語，希望大家也能喜歡並享受學習英語的過程。
都考個好成績呀!!
