考试日期：	2012.10.27
Task 1
INTEGRAED	Great Zimbabwe石头建筑群建造的purpose
阅读材料观点： 1. for storing grains; 2. gold mining place; 3. astronomical observatory; 听力逐一反驳： 1. 外表看起来像storehouse, 其实inside只有two small rooms, moreover, no grains were found there; 2. radiation carbon finds that towers and walls were built before the gold mine was detected, 也就是说build towers and walls的时候人们不知道有gold; 3. Towers for observing stars require specific angles and distance, however, the Great Zimbabwe does not meet such requirements.
Task 2 INDEPENDENT 独立写作
话题类别	社会类
考题文字：	Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? The most important problem affecting our society today will be solved in our lifetime.
本次写作考试点评：本次新托福考试完全重复2011年3月4日北美考题。本次的考题完全在预测中，北美考题的重复规律继续在中国大陆的考试中得以体现。就难度而言，这次写作考题的难度较大。综合任务的话题和词汇就会对考生的听力造成较大的困难。而独立写作的社会类题目较为宽泛，反而不利于考生形成清晰的思路。综合而言，如果考前看过预测写过作文，那么将会获得高分，如果没有接触过，那么获得高分的难度较大。
