12月的托福一共进行了8场线下的考试，分别是12月的 3，4，7，10，11，17上午，17下午，21日。本月托福阅读我们一共收集到56篇文章，下面就一起来看一看具体的情况吧。

从文章题材方面上看，56篇文章的类型是生物类文章27篇，历史考古类文章22篇，地质类文章5篇，心理学文章1篇和艺术类文章1篇。分别占的比重是生物类文章占比约49%，历史考古类文章占比约40%，地质类文章占比约8%，其他类占比约2%。具体比例见下图1。

此外，从学科大类来区分的话，其中生命科学有27篇文章，社会科学有22篇文章，自然科学有6篇，艺术类有1篇文章。具体的情况见图2。

从上述的数据我们可以看出来，本月的ETS还是延续了以往的老套路，生物类文章占到了绝对C位的比重，其次紧跟着的是历史类和考古类的文章。地理地质文章往往作为少见的文章题材。因此大家在复习和刷题的时候可以适当的有所偏向。一般来说生物类的文章属于我们传统的理科范畴，而且文章脉络往往比较清晰，因此看懂文章的难度往往不高。相比生物类文章，历史考古类的文章经常成为同学们做的相对不太好的那一部分。主要是学科词汇以及讲述的知识点背景不是很了解，导致文章看的蒙蒙的。因此，提前补充学科词汇以及对相应的历史考古类的真题机经文章做训练是非常有必要的，同时昨晚训练以后建议大家对于文章做适当的翻译，一方面可以补充词汇和梳理长难句，另一方面就是补充相关的背景信息，这个对于后续的考试是有非常大的帮助的。

另外从最近的考试文章和出题风格来看，现在词汇题的考察比重比之前略微有所上升，有的篇章文章会出现2题的词汇题，而且这样的文章比例还不低。第二个就是句子简化题的比重也是有所上升，几乎是3篇文章会遇到2题的句子简化题。因此对于同学们的长难句这块的要求变相就有所提高。最后就是段落数量问题，目前看，文章以4-6段的居多，段落特别多的文章几乎遇不到，这样一来，对应的每段的字数就有比较大的提高，现在基本上每篇文章都有2段或者更多段是200字以上的，因此对于同学们的耐心也是一种考验。建议同学们在平时复习刷题时候可以先读段落再去做题，因为一段很长的文字往往对应的题目少，有些同学如果只关注题目的话，段落大意会看的不是很明了，这样会对最后一题概括题的答题造成比较大的困扰。

考情分析：12月份托福写作还是以重复老题为主，不论是综合写作还是独立写作，仍然延续老题。综合写作以方案假说类为主，涉及到了生物，科技类的话题。独立写作几乎全部为之前考过的题目，甚至上下午的独立写作考的是相似的话题，以重复近一两年的题目为主，出现了一道新题。

独立写作

2022年12月3日（重复2019年10月27日和2021年3月29日家考）

1.Granted, the growth of cities improves people’s material life.

2.However, the growth of cities brings a negative impact on sustainable social development.

独立写作（重复2022年9月4日/2022年10月29日）

Do you agree or disagree with the following statement?

People can learn as much by watching movies as they can learn by reading books.

参考思路：disagree

1.Firstly, movies have various fascinating methods that will disturb students' concentration. 

2.Secondly, the books help boost student's imagination and creativity.

独立写作（新题）

In order to help students become environmentally responsible adults, some schools consider offering weekly outdoor classes in which students have opportunities to visit local parks or reserves. Teachers will lead them to explore nature and learn about the environment. Do you think it is worthwhile to take such outdoor classes once a week?

参考思路：disagree

1.Firstly, outdoor classes may be difficult to organize in bad weather and thus may be subject to various environmental constraints.

2.Secondly, there are potential safety risks when students are outside the classroom, which could require additional staff to ensure their safety.

3.Lastly, attending outdoor classes may require additional resources such as transportation and materials, which might result in higher costs for the school.

2022年12月10日

独立写作（重复2022年9月17日（下午场）和2021年3月10日和2013年7月20日）

Do you agree or disagree with the following statement：

Parents today spend too much time trying to help determine the futures of their children; children should be allowed to make their own choices.

参考思路：agree

1.首先，孩子自己做决定可以培养独立性。（如果自己做决定，孩子需要对将要做的事情有了解。因此，他会一个明确的规划。）

2.其次，孩子对自己更了解，做出的决定不会让他们后悔。（虽然孩子在很多事情上都会受到家长的影响，但是因为年代不同、教育背景不同、生活经历不同，所以孩子们产生的想法跟父母也是不一样的。因此，父母做出的决定并不能百分百符合孩子的偏好。）

2022年12月11日
独立写作（重复2020年12月19日）
Some schools are planning to require students(aged 6-18) to attend school over the course of four days rather than the more customary five days each week and study for an extra ninety minutes each day. Do you think it is a good idea and why?

参考思路：it is not a good idea

1.It is admitted that by altering the traditional school schedule, schools can save money. 

2.The prolonged school hours per day is also a critical disadvantage of the four-day schedule. First, longer days are tough on students.

3.Second, longer days mean wearier teachers.

2022年12月17日上午

独立写作（重复2020年9月线上考）

A university has money in its budget to do ONE thing to improve its facilities for students: it can either improve the quality of the technology (for example, computers and printers) that it provides for students. OR it can redesign spaces where students hold club meetings and gather with friends in their spare time to make these areas more comfortable and appealing. Which one do you prefer?

参考思路：improve the quality of the technology

1.Up-to-date technologies are certainly helpful to a student‘s study performance.

2.In addition, students would be proud of their schools that have state-of-the-art facilities and thus be highly motivated to study with high standards to fit in the high-quality environment.

2022年12月17 日（下午场）

独立写作（重复2019年7月13日考题）

Imagine that you work for a company that has money in its budget to do ONE thing to help its employees improve their work: it can either improve the quality of the technology (for example, computers and printers) that employees use, OR it can redesign its offices so that employees will have more comfortable spaces to do their work and have meetings.

Which idea would you prefer, and why?

参考思路：improve the quality of the technology

1.Up-to-date technologies are certainly helpful to a staff’s job performance.

2.In addition, staffs would be proud of their companies that have state-of-the-art facilities and thus be highly motivated to work with high standards to fit in the high-quality environment.

A. older people who no longer work (eg. those who are more than 70 years old)

B. young families with small children

参考思路：如果选择2

1.帮助有孩子的年轻家庭有利于社会发展（孩子是未来）

2.70岁以上的老人有很多途径获得钱，比如存款、养老金、子女等

3.帮助失去工作的人不利于鼓励他们找工作
