今天A卷听力部分，一篇astronomy讲座，讲的是computer design and technology，这是2015-05-09大陆真题。这也是我们集训课程的原题，见下图。
这篇计算机科学讲座谈的是computing。
过去是old computing，这基本上是开发者自嗨的一种方式， 稳重说他们，concentrate on big power for the sake of having a fancy and impressive machine。
现在推崇的是new computing，以人为本，关注用户需求。
下面是华叔该篇的笔记。
笔记一定要注重层次，注重听与记的平衡，这是集训课程当中华叔会反复训练学生的能力。
为什么考生真实考试叫苦连天？最大原因是听力难度远超TPO，很多考生根本适应不了。华叔在之前的考试解析里，多次提醒考生，今天再次提醒给位，现在托福听力的难度主要体现在两个方面：
一是对话细节要求不断提高，话题常常出新；
二是讲座逻辑复杂程度提高，观点反转常见。
