根据新托福口语官方评分细则，话题发展(Topic development)作为四大评分标准之一，具体考察的就是考生清楚陈述或组织语言的能力。而逻辑的力量是指在进行口语回答的过程中，通过用一些路标词或特定句型，使口语录音在内容上体现出清晰的逻辑层次感。下面，朗阁海外考试研究中心口语组的专家将以Task4为例，通过分析题型特点来进一步认识逻辑的妙用。
一、概念解释
从交流角度出发，说话者在发言的过程中使用的信号弹被证明能大大提高听者对所听内容的理解或把握度。新托福口语六个问题的后四个都属于综合题(Integrated Speaking Tasks)，能否对阅读和听力材料的重要信息进行合理转述是评分的一项重要指标。其中的Task4, 是要求用听力中的具体例子来解释阅读中所涉及的某一抽象概念。考官在评分时，会以此为要求，着重关注考生是否在录音中按要求完成了解释这一任务。作为考生，当然就要故意去释放一些信号弹，引导考官快速理解自己的答案，识别出答案中符合要求的部分，进而给出相应得分，这才算是力气用在了刀刃上。
那么如何做到这一点，到底什么是信号弹?读到这里，相信大家都已经有了答案，那就是逻辑词的使用，包括表示句与句之间让步转折、因果、递进、举例、解释、条件、比较和对比等关系的词。由此就产生出相应的几大状语从句。需要提出的是，由于Task4话题会有不同，那么答题过程中用到各种状语从句的概率也就不同，切不可一概而论。下面，朗阁海外考试研究中心将通过两个不同类型的Task4考题实例，体现状语从句在新托福口语答题中的重要作用。

Animal Domestication
For thousands of years, humans have been able to domesticate, or tame, many large mammals that in the wild live together in herds. Once tamed, these mammals are used for agricultural work and transportation. Yet some herd mammals are not easily domesticated. A good indicator of an animals suitability for domestication is how protective the animal is of its territory. Non-territorial animals are more easily domesticated than territorial animals because they can live close together with animals from other herds. A second indicator is that animals with a hierarchical social structure, in which herd members follow a leader, are easy to domesticate, since a human can function as the leader.
听力材料：
So weve been discussing the suitability of animals for domestication . . . particularly animals that live together in herds. Now, if we take horses, for example . . . in the wild, horses live in herds that consist of one male and several females and their young. When a herd moves, the dominant male leads, with the dominant female and her young immediately behind him. The dominant female and her young are then followed immediately by the second most important female and her young, and so on. This is why domesticated horses can be harnessed one after the other in a row. Theyre programmed to follow the lead of another horse. On top of that, you often find different herds of horses in the wild occupying overlapping areasthey dont fight off other herds that enter the same territory. But its exactly the opposite with an animal like the uh, the antelope . . . which . . . well, antelopes are herd animals too. But unlike horses, a male antelope will fight fiercely to prevent another male from entering its territory during the breeding season, OKvery different from the behavior of horses. Try keeping a couple of male antelopes together in a small space and see what happens. Also, antelopes dont have a social hierarchythey dont instinctively follow any leader. That makes it harder for humans to control their behavior.
问题：
The professor describes the behavior of horses and antelope in herds. Explain how their behavior is related to their suitability for domestication.
参考答案：
According to the lecture, herd animals can be easily domesticated if they have a hierarchical social structure and are not territorial, and that this is why it is easier to domesticate horses than antelopes. As in the example of horses, their hierarchical social structure makes them willing to follow one another and thus allows a human being to act as their leader. It is also because horses are not territorial that they can be harnessed together without fighting. By comparison, although antelopes are herd animals too, they cannot be easy to domesticate. As a matter of fact, male antelopes fight if they are together, which means they are territorial, and because antelopes do not have a social hierarchy, humans cant control them by acting as their leader.
答案分析：
该Task4为动物类话题，从阅读到听力，材料都很学术化。对于这种题目，我们组织答案时用得较多的通常是两种状语从句：条件和原因。
第一句话对听力材料主要内容的总结和概括是通过if条件状语从句实现的。条件状语从句常用于开头或结束陈述结论，为的是给结论提供合理的情境支撑。在结论给出之后，便要提供细节作为论证理由。这个时候，又要使用到原因状语从句。事实上，多数考生在口语答题中都没有少用原因状语从句。朗阁海外考试研究中心在对新托福口语样题做测评工作时，发现很多考生的录音中频繁出现because, so等词。似乎已经成为了口头禅，而并非是用得恰到好处。要记住，凡事过犹不及，我们应该在回答中体现的是丰富多样的逻辑关系，而非从头至尾让考官只听到原因，结果，原因，结果。就算要表示因果关系也可以有变化的方法。如第一句中that is why的使用，实际上等同于so, 该名词性从句的使用不仅体现了句型的灵活多样，还起到了强调原因的作用。
按照答题要求，在论据陈述的过程中，需要引用听力中的例子。很多情况下听力材料会给出两个相反的例子，于是举例、让步、对比，等逻辑关系一一派上了用场。如范例回答中的第二句(举例)，第四句(对比、让步)。最后一句话再次用到了条件和原因状语从句，由此可见这两大句型在解答此类话题的实用之处。

阅读材料：
Verbal and Nonverbal Communication
When we speak with other people face-to-face, the nonverbal signals we giveour facial expressions, hand gestures, body movements, and tone of voiceoften communicate as mush as, or more than, the words we utter. When our nonverbal signals, which we often produce unconsciously, agree with our verbal message, the verbal message is enhanced and supported, made more convincing. But when they conflict with the verbal message, we maybe communicating an entirely different and more accurate message than what we intend.
听力材料针对阅读中的非口头语言在交流中的两种作用举了两个具体的例子做解答。我们直接通过答案来揭晓这两个例子。
问题：
Explain how the examples from the professors lecture illustrate the relationship between verbal and nonverbal communication.
参考答案：
The professor gives two examples to illustrate, respectively, how nonverbal communication helps to convince others of what we say and also how it betrays us by tipping others off on our real intentions. The first example is about his favorite uncles surprise visit. When he answered the door and found his uncle, he got so excited that his eyes got really wide and at the same time he broke into a huge smile, even jumped like a boy, totally unconsciously. As a result, his uncle felt warmly welcome by him. The second example is about his daughter. When he showed his daughter how to use the hammer, he hurt his thumb. Though he tried to hide his pain by telling his daughter he was ok, her daughter seemed not to believe because his shaking hands and trembling voice made his words less trustable.
答案分析：
该题属于心理学话题，听力中的例子非常生活化，在组织答案特别是讲述例子时我们除了会用到条件，原因状语从句外，还会用上另外一种：时间状语从句。
讲述第一个例子，when he answered the door, 以及at the same time, 都是时间状语从句的典型应用。讲述第二个例子中, when he showed his daughter, 也是同样的句型。可见，时间状语从句是在回忆故事来龙去脉时必不可少的一项武器。此外，该范例回答中，还用到了两处结果状语从句(As a result, his uncle, 以及he got so excited that), 一处让步状语从句(though he tried to), 一次原因状语从句(because his shaking hands and trembling voice)。
综合以上两例，不难推断出状语从句在新托福Task4答题中着实起着举足轻重的地位，甚至可以说，几乎任何两句之间的连接都可见状语从句的影子。朗阁海外考试研究中心建议考生在组织口语答案时，应当有意识的通过常见状语从句的使用给考官释放信号弹，以体现答案的强烈逻辑感，从而拿到满意的成绩。
