每年的托福独立写作考题中，对比类型考题总要占据半壁江山，拥有着非常高的出镜率。下面就由新东方在线鲍晶晶老师为大家揭秘，托福考试中写作热点考题之一：对比类型考题。

　　一、对比考题何其多

　　对比类型考题在历年托福独立写作考题中，会占到相当大的比重，此类例题比比皆是。例如，从 2015年1月份第一场托福考试起到最近的4月12日的9场考试10道考题(3月7日的考试有两道考题)中就有5道考题就是对比型考题(2015.1.25，2015.2.1，2015.3.7(1)，2015.3.7 (2)，2015.3.28)大家先来简单回顾几个托福真题：

　　2015.1.10

　　Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? University students should be required to take basic science classes even if they are not part of the field of the study.

　　2015.1.11

　　Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? The most important characteristic of a successful politician or leader is good communication skills.

　　2015.1.25

　　Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Classmates and partner can communicate with each other face to face to finish the project better than by sending e-mail.

　　2015.1.31

　　Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? The rules that the whole societies today expect to young people to follow and obey are too strict.

　　2015.2.1

　　Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Movies and television have more negative effects than positive effects on the way young people behave.

　　二、对比类考题的分类

　　按比较对象分类可以分为以下三类：

　　1)A or B

　　这类对比在题目中会有非常明显对两个对比对象，在选择观点时，只选其一(骑墙式写法在托福写作中不受欢迎)。

　　例如：Classmates and partner can communicate with each other face to face to finish the project better than by sending e-mail. (2015.1.25)

　　在选择观点时要么选择face to face communication 要么选择send e-mail.

　　2)A or (B)

　　这类考题比较含蓄，比较对象往往在考题中只出现一个，而另一个则可以由推断得出。

　　例如： People will spend less time on cooking food in twenty years.(2015.3.7)

　　这道考题表面上是在问“在未来20年人们是否会更少花时间在做饭上”，实在是在将未来20年与现在进行对比，而它们之间的差异就是人们做饭时间差异的原因。

　　其它隐性对比考题还有：The professional athletes such as the football player and basket-ball player deserved high salaries to be paid?(2010.7.10)

　　这道考题表面上是在问职业运动员的高薪酬是否合理，实质上是将职业运动员的career与其它普通的career进行对比，职业运动员之所以能有高薪酬，原因在于他们的career有异于其它career 的地方，如他们的职业生涯比较短，非常容易受伤，需要承受经常比赛带来的巨大压力，需要参加严酷的训练等等。

　　3)A or B or C

　　这类考题中比较对象有三者，选择观点时选其一。此类考题不常见，但从2012年开始几乎每年都会考到几次。

　　例如：During time of economy crisis, government should reduce budgets in: (1)education, (2) health care; (3) support for unemployed. (2013.2.2)

　　Which way do you think is the best for a student to make new friends: (1) joininga sports team; (2) participate in community activities; (3) traveling (2014.3.15)

　　此类题目在对比时可以三者一一对比，如A与B对比，A与C对比，也可以转换成两者对比，如A与BC对比。
