2015年11月21日托福阅读预测

11月21日托福独立口语小范围预及参考答案1. You are a leader of a student organization. There isa freshman who is nervous in this environment. What would you do to help this student in this new environment?Personally, I would show him or her around the campus. Since I have firsthand experience about the university life, and I have unique perspectives about the campus and the school. By showing them around the library so they get a chance to know how to find reference when writing papers. Additionally, I can help them to be more adaptable to the academic environment. For example, I can give them advice/suggestion on what classes they should choose, and they should choose to take classes that are really interesting and easy to get a high grade in, also I will discourage them to take courses that are abstract and boring.2. A friend of yours is going to study at another university and he's worried that he won't be able to make any friends there. What suggestions would you give him and why?Personally, I would suggest him join all kinds of social activities, for example, like volunteer activities, fundraising, and going on field trip organized by the school. Also, he should joint clubs, like sports club, poem club, debating club, and even martial art club. In this way, he can interact with the club members. If he is lucky, he might come across someone who is from the same place of him or her. Additionally, he or she find someone who have the same hobby, you know, one has so much to talk about when meeting someone who have the same hobby.3. Describe a news article or story that you are interested in recently. Explain why you think it is interesting. Include reasons and details in the your response.Well, I would like to talk about a social event that took place in China just a few days ago. Actually,it was like a festival that young adults celebrate. It was on November 11th, and it called the Single's Day. On this day, e-commerce companies offer lots of promotion and sales on line, and it was so crazy on this day that basically everyone bought something, ranging from shampoo, and body wash to daily appliances, like freezer and washing machines. The sales figure of Alibaba, the major player in e-commerce, exceeded 9 billion US dollars thanks to the passion of the young singletons.4. Which of the following do you think is the best way to get to know a new school, joining a one-day campus tour, spending a weekend on a campus playing field or auditing the lectures?Auditing class is the best to know the university better, since faculty members are an indispensable part of the university. Their knowledge，teaching skills and even the way they teach the class represent the university. The values they uphold in the class are the ones that are cherished by the university. Plus, when auditing class, one can tell if there are lots of class discussions or not, also, they get to know the size of the class. These are important factors when choosing a university since nobody wants to attend a school, whose class size are too big. 1. Is it better to grow up in a large family or a small family? Explain why. Please include details and examples in your explanation.Personally, I prefer to live in a small family since you don't have to deal with too complicated relationships with lots of family members. For example, if there are lots of members in the family, one has to go the birthday party of every single person in the family and that can be really tiring. Also, a big family is very crowded and noisy. It is very inconvenient because one might have to wait for their turn to use the bathroom. You know, it is much easier for a smaller family to agree on big decision. Plus, in a small family, itis very quiet and peaceful, one does not have a lot of triviality to deal with, and it also provides the kids a quiet environment to study.2. Do you agree or disagree with the following statement: protecting the environment is just as important as developing the economy?Personally, I don't agree with that. Instead, I think protecting the environment is more important than develop the economy. Recently, there are rampant environment related diseases, like the lung problems caused by the haze and fog in big cities, problems. Plus, the global warming, pollution, and extinction are running wild on earth too. Also, we have to think of the future of our lives and the lives of the next generation. Actually, if the economy falls, there is still a big chance for it to pick up. However, if we don't protect the environment, and cherish the mother earth, it will be gone forever.3. Do you agree or disagree with the statement: employees should be prohibited to listen to music at work.Well, personally, I think it's a very bad idea to prohibit music in workplace. Actually, listening to music is a very good way for people to release their negative emotions, like sadness, or sorrow, or even anger. Employees might forget about the pressure in life and thus have a higher efficiency in the workplace. Additionally, music keeps people refreshed and spurs creativity and innovation. So, that is why it is a common practice for high-tech to allow the play of music in their office, just so that they can create a relaxing environment and be more creative, and thus make more breakthroughs in their field.4. Do you agree or disagree with the following statement : Participating in a team sport is the best way for young people to learn cooperation.Personally, I couldn't agree more with this plan. To begin with, one can socialize with their peers and make new friends by playing team sports. Actually, my teammate and Istruggle together for a common goal, offer each other motivation along the way, and I feel that I care something bigger than myself during the game, and I think this is very meaningful. Plus, I realize when playing team sports, I cannot win the game without working closely with my teammates. Based on these reasons, I find playing team sports very helpful to develop cooperation.。

气候学家说发现了一种G开头是物质(TPO里一个cave里面提过这种物质)。

在玛雅一个城市附近的lake里，说明气候很干旱。

后来又有研究发现，说是一个城市并不是因为干旱而毁灭的，具体原因忘了。

后来说研究了很多wetland anima，发现大多数都有数量下降。

最后说因为玛雅人砍伐树林过度产生了很严重的后果。

farming developed independently in a number of world centers(the Southeast Asian mainland,Southwest Asia,Central America,lowland and highland South America,and equatorial Africa)at more or less the same time?Agriculture developed slowly among populations that had an extensive knowledge of plants and animals.Changing from hunting and gathering to agriculture had no immediate advantages.To start with,it forced the population to abandon the nomad's life and become sedentary,to develop methods of storage and,often,systems of irrigation.While hunter-gatherers always had the option of moving elsewhere when the resources were exhausted,this became more difficult with farming.Furthermore,as the archaeological record shows,the state of health of agriculturalists was worse than that of their contemporary hunter-gatherers.¡¡¡¡Traditionally,it was believed that the transition to agriculture was the result of a worldwide population crisis.It was argued that once hunter-gatherers had occupied the whole world,the population started to grow everywhere and food became scarce;agriculture would have been a solution to this problem.We know,however,that contemporary hunter-gatherer societies control their population in a variety of ways.The idea of a world population crisis is therefore unlikely,although population pressure might have arisen in some areas.¡¡¡¡Climatic changes at the end of the glacial period 13,000 years ago have been proposed to account for the emergence of farming.The temperature increased dramatically in a short period of time(years rather than centuries),allowing for a growth of the hunting-gathering population due to the abundance of resources.There were,however,fluctuations in the climatic conditions,with the consequences that wet conditions were followed by dry ones,so that the availability of plants and animals oscillated brusquely.¡¡¡¡It would appear that the instability of the climatic conditions led populations that had originally been nomadic to settle down and develop a sedentary style of life,which led in turn to population growth and to the need to increase the amount of food available.Farming originated in these ter on,it became very difficult to change because of the significant expansion of these populations.It could be argued,however,that these conditions are not sufficient to explain the origins of agriculture.Earth had experienced previous periods of climatic change,and yet agriculture had not been developed.¡¡¡¡It is archaeologist Steven Mithen's thesis,brilliantly developed in his book The Prehistory of the Mind(1996),that approximately 40,000 years ago the human mind developed cognitive fluidity,that is,the integration of the specializations of the mind:technical,natural history(geared to understanding the behavior and distribution of natural resources),social intelligence,and the linguistic capacity.Cognitive fluidity explains the appearance of art,religion,and sophisticated speech.Once humans possessed such a mind,they were able to find an imaginative solution to a situation of severe economic crisis such as the farming dilemma described earlier.Mithen proposes the existence of four mental elements to account for the emergence of farming:(1)the ability to develop tools that could be used intensively to harvest and process plant resources;(2)the tendency to use plants and animals as the medium to acquire social prestige and power;(3)the tendency to develop"social relationships"with animals structurally similar to those developed with people¡ªspecifically,the ability to think of animals as people(anthropomorphism)and of people as animals(totemism);and(4)the tendency to manipulate plants and animals.¡¡¡¡The fact that some societies domesticated animals and plants,discovered the use of metal tools,became literate,and developed a state should not make us forget that others developed pastoralism or horticulture(vegetable gardening)but remained illiterate and at low levels of productivity;a few entered the modern period as hunting and gathering societies.It is anthropologically important to inquire into the conditions that made some societies adopt agriculture while others remained hunter-gatherers or horticulturalists.However,it should be kept in mind that many societies that knew of agriculture more or less consciously avoided it.Whether Mithen's explanation is satisfactory is open to contention,and some authors have recently emphasized the importance of other factors.¡¡¡¡Paragraph 1:How did it come about that farming developed independently in a number of world centers(the Southeast Asian mainland,Southwest Asia,Central America,lowland and highland South America,and equatorial Africa)at more or less the same time?Agriculture developed slowly among

托福阅读答案1.ample大量的，所以答案是C的plentiful。

原文说为什么会发生婴儿期健忘症这个问题已经困扰了人们很久，特别是考虑到存在孩子有了些记忆这一怎么样的证据，孩子有记忆力与婴儿健忘症是相反的才intrigue，所以ample不能是负向词，questionable不对，原文没说证据得到确定，convincing不对；也没说惊奇，surprising 不对。

2.以intrigue psychologists做关键词定位至第三句，就是上题词汇题那句，说为什么会发生婴儿期健忘症这个问题已经困扰了人们很久，特别是考虑到存在孩子有了些记忆这一证据的存在，也就是说没法解释为什么有证据还infantile amnesia，所以正确答案是D。

A的intelligence in adulthood，B的others are notable to和C 的autobiographical memory原文都没说。

3.以developed autobiographical memory做关键词定位至倒数第二句和倒数第三句，说三四岁的时候，孩子能给出过去事情的lengthy and cohesive description，这是个developmental turning point，所以答案是B。

A说remember，C说孩子知道blabla，D描述的东西不对。

4.修辞目的题，先读例子所在句，说语言能力不行的孩子也能记住东西，因此语言能力能帮忙形成autobiographical memory而不是决定其形成，所以答案是A，不仅依靠verbal，B和C的one yearolds，D的人名原文都没说，都不选。

5.reasonable合理的，公平的，充足的，所以正确答案是B的sufficient。

原文说在孩子能够谈论过去之前，他们应该对自己作为独立个体而存在有什么样的认识，consistent和apparent明显不对，D的deep深刻MS 对，但孩子不太可能对自己有很深刻的认识，所以也不对。

2015 年11月19日和21日雅思阅读预测----外朗教育决策解析27 根据题目细节信息“Gordian knot “定位于原文段落A段最后一句“Ever since, the notion of a 'Gordian solution' has referred to the attractiveness of a simple answer to an otherwise intractable(棘手的，难处理的) problem.”原文说自此之后高迪姆之结就被用于“快刀斩乱麻”的语境之中。

因此选项B的意思与原文内容相对应，因此正确答案为B。

28 根据题目细节信息“conflict model”“Janis and Mann”定位于原文“In particular, the …conflict model' of decision making proposed by psychologists Irving Janis and Leon Mann in their 1977 book, Dicision Making, argued that a complex decision making process is essential for guarding individuals and groups from the peril of 'group-think'(团体迷思). Decisions made without through canvassing(canvass v. 仔细讨论), surveying, weighing(weigh v. 权衡，称量), examining and reexamining relevant information and options(选择) would be suboptimal(optimal最佳的，sub-次一等的) and often disastrous(灾难性的).这里面提到了“冲突模式”然后在1977年还出了一本书，提出在缺少游说、调查、权衡、检查、复查相关信息和可用选项的一系列过程而做出的决定将不会是最优的选择甚至会是灾难性的后果。

Unable to finance road construction,states turned for help to private companies, organized by merchants and land speculators who had a personal interest in improved communications with the interior. The pioneer in this move was the state of Pennsylvania, which chartered a company in 1792 to construct a turnpike, a road for the use of which a toll, or payment, is collected, from Philadelphia to Lancaster.

11月21日综合写作题目：
是否应该扩大种植棕榈树
阅读：应该扩大种植棕榈树
1. 可以减少森林的采伐;
2. 棕榈油可以作为机动车燃料，减少二氧化碳的排放，改善环境问题;
3. 棕榈油利润高，可以帮助小部分农民摆脱贫困。

听力反驳：不应该扩大种植棕榈树
1. 有高产量就会有高需求，农民就会开垦更多的林地来种植棕榈树;
2. 这种燃料需要泥煤来清洁，而泥煤本身会产生更多的污染;
3. 商业公司看到有利可图就会买农民的地，这样农民真正获取的利益并不多。

Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? The most important thing that people have learned is from their families.
是否新题：是
题材：教育类
观点：不同意，人学到的最重要的事情应该源于我们的思考和经验的积累。

写作思路：

2. 个人潜能的实现必须通过接触社会来获得。

只有通过和他人交往，我们才能发现自己的价值，发挥自己的潜能。
