直通托福预备教程：听说试读：
前言
TOEFL全名为“Test of English as a Foreign Language”，是由美国教育考试服务中心（ETS）研发推广的英语能力测试，中文音译为“托福”。托福所提供的语言成绩不仅可以帮助考生申请美国高等院校，也可以成为考生正确学习英语的指南。
目前，托福考试以互联网为依托进行机考，称为iBT（internet-Based Test），其整体设计旨在综合评估考生在英语听、说、读、写四项技能方面的综合能力。近几年，托福考试的整体难度逐渐增加，而考生群体则走向低龄化。考生们需要在准备托福考试的过程中打下坚实的基础，因而对于托福预备阶段资料的需求也亟待满足。《直通托福预备教程》系列丛书包括《直通托福预备教程：读写》《直通托福预备教程：听说》两册，以北美优秀教辅书为参考，结合考生对于托福预备阶段备考的真实需求，由新东方美国本科考试研究院联合一线托福教师设计并编写，极具权威性和针对性，适合托福考试零基础或英语语言基础薄弱的考生，帮助其打好语言基础。
本书为《直通托福预备教程：听说》，共有15个单元，覆盖听力和口语考试中的不同场景和话题。
1. 学习框架：每一个单元包含三部分，分别是对话（Conversation）、讲座（Lecture）和综合练习（Practice），由浅入深，帮助考生综合训练听说能力。
Part 1：对话的背景知识以热身问题配以图片的形式导入，帮助考生了解相关话题，有效建立场景意识；同时预测材料内容，减少听力练习部分的背景阻碍。筛选对话中的核心词汇和功能性词汇，给出中英释义、例句和同义词，并配有相应练习，帮助考生扫除生词障碍。此外，每一个单元都有不同的发音要点讲解和练习，回归到英语语音学习的根本。
Part 2：和对话相比，讲座难度增加。同样也精选并解析了讲座中的核心词汇和功能性词汇，并配有相应习题。
Part 3：在上述两个部分的练习基础上，考生已经接收了大量的语料输入。因此，此部分以综合练习为主，按照不同的单元话题，对考生的听力和口语进行综合性演练，包含听力、讨论和辩论等等。
2. 内容来源：教材以托福听力和口语考试中经常出现的校园及生活话题为基础，由教学经验丰富的外教编写，并配有地道美语录音，帮助考生打下良好的听力及口语基础，从而更加顺利地进入到下一个阶段的学习。
3. 场景话题：本书的场景话题在最大程度上模拟真实的北美校园和生活场景，具体包括：
