在进行新托福听力考试前，提早了解一些听力真题十分有用。下面咱们精选整理了一些新托福听力的真题模板，期望对各位考生有参阅价值。

在托福变革后，新托福考试机经重复率变得很小，可是经典加试的重复率极高，比如像大王花这道植物学题，和浪漫主义、新古典主义这道文学标题，以及神经胶质细胞这道微生物标题,考生必定要做到耳熟能详，听觉形象的疾速树立。下面咱们来看看Ragtime Music.

Ragtime介绍了一种盛行于美国十九世纪摆布名为ragtime的音乐，能够体现年青人的生机(spirit of youth)之类的，此乐盛行是由于piano的联系，由于两者真是太搭配了。在那个时代，在各种场合都用钢琴。此乐其时盛行程度，(like Rock & Roll在某一时期相同)。这儿呈现考点，女学生说了成堆后，来了一句 I just don't get it，意思是要教授explain，还说piano 之所以其时那么受欢迎，一是由于它能与乐律发生和谐，另一是由于其时它算一种财富位置的标志什么的symbol of wealth and status。再加上，那个时代，我们都没钱，就去public concert or restaurant什么的听音乐，而piano声响够嘹亮，又和ragtime music rhythm搭配的天衣无缝，所以，两者相辅相成这个音乐年轻人很喜欢，由于很有热情。除了处处表演啊，park表演等不必钢琴，由于难搬(呈现考点)because of transportation problem。同时，此乐也是 jazz的前身，由于演奏者不按牌理出牌，一首曲七个人弹，弹出七种调。这种regtime音乐影响很远啊，例如现在的jazz就是从那发展来的。

Ragtime 拉格泰姆音乐(1890-1915时期在美国盛行的一种音乐)

Ragtime is an American musical genre which enjoyed its peak popularity between 1899 and 1918. It has had several periods of revival since then and is still being composed today. Ragtime was the first truly American musical genre, predating jazz. It began as dance music in popular music settings years before being published as popular sheet music for piano. Being a modification of the then popular march, it was usually written in 2/4 or 4/4 time (meter) with a predominant left hand pattern of bass notes on odd-numbered beats and chords on even-numbered beats accompanying a syncopated melody in the right hand. A composition in this style is called a "rag". A rag written in 3/4 time is a "ragtime waltz".

Ragtime is not a "time" (meter) in the same sense that march time is 2/4 meter and waltz time is 3/4 meter; it is rather a musical genre that uses an effect that can be applied to any meter. The defining characteristic of ragtime music is a specific type of syncopation in which melodic accents fall between metrical beats. This results in a melody that seems to be avoiding some metrical beats of the accompaniment by emphasizing notes that either anticipate or follow the beat. The ultimate (and intended) effect on the listener is actually to accentuate the beat, thereby inducing the listener to move to the music. Scott Joplin, the composer/pianist known as the "King of Ragtime", called the effect "weird and intoxicating". He also used the term "swing" in describing how to play ragtime music: "Play slowly until you catch the swing...".[1] The name swing later came to be applied to an early genre of jazz that developed from ragtime. Converting a non-ragtime piece of music into ragtime by changing the time values of melody notes is known as "ragging" the piece. Original ragtime pieces usually contain several distinct themes, four being the most common number.
