2010~2011年新托福写作北美机经(更新至1.15)

2011年5月29日新托福机经2011年5月29日新托福考试阅读机经：第一篇、一个词汇题,postulate=hypothesis一开始就挺难的找不到感觉，文章也看不进去，大家随便看看就好，这篇做得不好。

有错误欢迎指正。

实在很无语，做完我有一种欲哭无泪的感觉。

讲动物evolved的，大概就是说混血杂交什么的，开始有什么学家意见不符。

还有提到达尔文进化论，最后一段说基因相近的物种的杂交后代成功率适应性都比较强。

中间实在是记不住了。

我把康老师机经上的摘抄下来了，大家看看：有一部分讲到species breed，然后是一些理论。

倒数第二段提到Darwin 的进化论对这个问题的解释，但是作者的态度是质疑Darwin的解释的，同时提了一个问题反驳他的理论(有题)，最后作者提到应该是物种在同类内Breed 比较有题，在同属内就有缺陷。

将动植物分类是很难的，以前很简单，就是按照外表和生理上不同来分类。

但是后来这种办法就落后，不管用。

以后就有了更科学的分类方法。

从四个方面来分类。

第二篇、大陆漂移nonscientist注意到AFRICA和australia 大陆的相似，但是一直是个疑问。

德国科学家Wegener 提出了大陆漂移的理论。

当时大家一致认为大陆的运动都是垂直运动，up and down的，但是W认为大陆运动是水平的。

他还用了化石的理论来解释。

W发现两个大陆在X世纪以前的动物化石非常相似，而且越古老的越相似(推论：X世纪以后两个大陆的动物怎么样了，我选相似越来越小)他指出这两块大陆原来是连一块的，后来才分开。

除了化石，W还用了别的方法来证明。

当时提出这个理论在德国是很震撼的，但是很快就set aside了。

这个理论在AFRICA和AUSTRALIA 是很受支持的，然后当时的主流学术期刊是欧洲发行的，欧洲科学家并不受支持(有考题)，最后这个理论还是不被大众所接受。

一些科学家认为化石的相似性是由于以前两块大陆连着，后来板块沉没导致的，当时更有一个权威数学家极力反对。

2010年1月15日北美托福机经阅读1 冰川形成，第一段讲了从snow到达结冰点后成crystal，再到grain 什么的（有题），最终成了冰川，后介绍冰川分成两种，一种快速移动的，跟温度有关（有题），一种极地的，比较慢，词汇考了interlock，static等）1.glacier 第一段有说形成，只记得空气少的时候会denser；surplus snow的作用，补充融化掉的（有题）；冰川会移动并塑造地形沉积泥沙（句子简化）。

词汇题不记得，但是记得比较常规。

感觉这篇没有传说的第一篇那么难，时间也比较充裕吧vocabulary: interlocked第二篇mass extinction 给了定义后提到两次大灭绝，灭绝的因素有板块运动，栖息地破坏，气候变化，后面就是恐龙灭绝的行星撞击理论了，地层有铱元素为证据，地球本身很少，陨石带来很多，有人推出灭绝26million 年一次，正好说明行星按轨迹运行，不幸撞上了，还有其他证据在最后一段（有题）有一道是讲mass extinction的，说有科学家发现从中生代开始每26million years好像就有一次mass extinction，而且是species灭种的个数在不断增加的（这里有道paraphrase的题哟，偶是选的A啦~）然后又有科学家说什么mass extinction的原因是多种多样的，反正又做了很多实验来找那些原因的什么的~先说地球有过的两次大灭绝，这里有个插入题。

大灭绝原因的几种假说，地球变温之类的；给出了证据是地壳中稀有、太空中很多的一种元素。

有个人的研究表明大灭绝是有周期的。

这篇不难的3. Mass Extinction （有词汇题 bulk 选择mass）第三篇主要是講這種海龜很特別，他應該不算是海龜而是爬蟲類，因為他可以忍耐低溫而且有其他特色跟別種動物不同，他很會保持他的溫度，比較重要的ㄧ段是講他雖很會保持溫度，可是頭跟腳不行，所以他有一個counter ciculate 的血液系統可以保持注他的溫度不流失出去，中間有講到用人類的甚麼機器作類比，說他們的circulate的function很像3 一种恒温的龟，比较像鲸鱼（有题），跟别的动物保温机制不一样，一般动物靠代谢供能，它靠一层脂肪的皮（有题），黑的好像，体积大也是一个因素（有题）。

第二种是友好表现。

) 1908 年的Tunguska explosion, 在文章中提到这个爆炸不是由于小行星撞击地球产生的一是因为在这个爆炸的周围没有找到普通爆炸所产生的small particles,二是因为在其爆炸的地点没有crater,三提出了一个另外的解释，认为是一种气体－methane 所引起的爆炸而听力中一一反驳，第一点是说在其爆炸周围的调查是在1908 年后的19 年所进行的，因此small particles 很可能早已经被雨呀之类的冲走了。

TOEFL综合写作机经|托福综合写作材料|TOEFL写作机经2 因为爆炸是在离地球8 公里的大气中发生的，因此没有crater 很正常。

3 因为根据爆炸周围的fallen trees 之类的，判断爆炸的force 不应该是由methane 这样的气体爆炸所引起的。
