TOEFL iBT托福考試-聽力測驗介紹
TOEFL聽力考題: 校園對話、學術演講
聽力測驗主要是測量考生在大學校園環境的英文聽力能力，因此考題內容都跟校園生活有關。考試內容主要分兩種，一種是校園對話，校園對話包括教授和學生的一對一會面對談或是學生和學校服務組織 (像是宿舍單位) 的對話。另一種是學術演講，通常是教授課堂講課，演講內容包括人文、藝術、科學等。針對這兩種主題，考題方向都會要求你能夠了解主旨、細節、說話者的觀點或態度，甚至是從聽力內容推論出沒有講得很明顯的正確資訊等。 校園對話會有2~3段，學術演講部分則較多篇，共4~6篇。

Listening Section
Directions: The Listening section measures your ability to understand conversations and lectures in English. In this sample, you will read one conversation and one lecture and answer questions after each conversation or lecture. The questions typically ask about the main idea and supporting details. Some questions ask about a speaker’s purpose or attitude. Answer the questions based on what is stated or implied by the speakers. Most questions are worth one point. If a question is worth more than one point, it will have special directions that indicate how many points you can receive. In an actual test, you would be able to take notes while you listened and use your notes to help you answer the questions. Your notes would not be scored.
