托福(写作)历年真题试卷汇编6(题后含答案及解析)题型有:1.jpg /> Question Summarize the points made in the lecture you just heard, explaining how they cast doubt on points made in the reading passage.正确答案:The reading asserts that the new herbicide is not responsible for the death of the conifers in the community park. The professor then explains why he thinks the herbicide is responsible for the death of the conifers. The first argument the reading presents to explain why the new herbicide is not responsible for the death of the conifers is that the herbicide has passed government safety testing. The professor is not convinced by this argument because the government testing focused on the safety of people and animals, not on the safety of plants. The reading’s second argument for why the herbicide could not have killed the trees is that there are still many healthy trees in the park. But the professor says that the herbicide was introduced through a river in the park. All of the trees by the river have died. Only those trees on the high ground away from the river have survived. In other words, those trees have still survived because they have not been exposed to the herbicide. The reading’s final argument for why the herbicide is not responsible for the death of the conifers is that there is a reasonable alternative explanation, climate change. The professor rebuts this by saying that the way in which the trees died does not indicate that it was due to climate change. The reason is that if the trees were really dying due to climate change, yellow leaves should die first, but some young, green leaves also fall off. Therefore, he thinks it is only reasonable to assume that conifers were killed by the herbicide.解析:面对公园里针叶树的死亡,阅读文章认为这不是杀虫剂导致的,并提出三点论据:首先,除草剂是通过了政府安全测试的;其次,公园里还有很多健康的树木;最后,树木死亡也有可能是气候变化导致的。

阅读难度相当地大。
第一篇:functionism(忘了是这个词还是functional) culture第一段先举了生物学的例子,这里有题,问为什么要举生物学的例子。
大概就是典型的结构主义思想,每一个器官都是有功能的。
引出文化,文化也一样,不是无缘无故的。
然后给出了两个人的观点。
第一个人的意思是每一个文化主要取决于大众的需要,并且大众的需要分两层,第一是basic demand,衣食住行,第二层是宗教,政治还是什么的。
但是这个理论有缺陷,就是他不能解释为什么每个文化都需要解决基本需求问题,但是文化和文化之间不一样呢。
另一个人的观点是文化是用来消除亲家之间的conflict的,后面记得不是很清楚,不敢乱说了。
最后貌似说了这两个观点都不是完美的第二篇:更想抓狂了……讲古代人的畜牧史,貌似就是说古代人掌握了动物什么时候来喝水,然后就趁机下手逮动物。
其中两个概念很混乱,breeding和domestication,想死的感觉啊……记得比较清楚的是说,他们并不是每种动物都养,经过了很多代人的,才放弃了一些不好养的动物。
第三篇:终于看到点希望了……美国觉得污染会杀死鱼,于是设立了sanctum,但是在这里面可以捕鱼。
所以造成了过度捕捞,过度捕捞比起污染什么的对鱼的数量下降来说更致命。
鱼随之会变得更少,并且更小。
有的**把大鱼抓走,让小鱼存活。
外界环境也会影响鱼,温度,气候什么的。
鱼类有丰富营养,比如鳗鱼什么的,每年增长速度貌似才5%,但是每年增加的需求量就有15%。
然后说了中国养了很多鱼。
最后说了海藻,海藻繁殖快,营养高,相比之下,农产品生产过程很慢。
日本就养海藻。
加试:电报电话在欧洲和美国的发展鸟类学说话听力:1. 学生放假忘了cancel电话服务,暑假的时候貌似他的宿舍有人住,电话打爆了,她的电话费就奇高无比。
托福(写作)历年真题试卷汇编2(题后含答案及解析)题型有:1.8 million years ago, weaker animals tended to die from the severe cold or other harsh physical conditions. Smilodons, however, were hardy enough to resist the cold and survive, despite the unforgiving nature of the world in which they lived. As to the fossil evidence discovered in the tar pit, there may be other explanations for the death of so many smilodons in one place at the same time. Upon seeing a wounded animal caught in the sticky tar, several individual smilodons probably attempted to capture the animal and became stuck themselves. One smilodon entered the pit, became trapped, and in turn attracted other smilodons to the pit as well. Smilodons, due to their natural physical prowess, were gifted hunters. They had thick fur and were equipped with long, sharp teeth capable of ripping the flesh from prey. Therefore, they had little need to hunt in groups: a lone smilodon could easily fend for itself and survive.4.Writing Based on Reading and Listening Directions: For this task, you will read a passage about an academic topic and you will listen to a lecture about the same topic. You may take notes while you read and listen. Then you will write a response to a question that asks you about the relationship between the lecture you heard and the reading passage. Try to answer the question as completely as possible using information from the reading passage and the lecture. The question does not ask you to express your personal opinion. You may refer to the reading passage again when you write. You may use your notes to help you answer the question. Typically, an effective response will be 150 to 225 words. Your response will be judged on the quality of your writing and on the completeness and accuracy of the content. You should allow 3 minutes to read the passage. Then listen to the lecture. Then allow 20 minutes to plan and write your response. Write your response in the space provided. Reading You will have 3 minutes to read the passage. The smilodons, a type of sabre-toothed tiger, despite having been extinct for thousands of years, nevertheless continue to attract much scientific research. Recently the question of whether they were social animals or not has aroused a heated debate. As far as we are concerned, they belong to the social animal classification, which is explained in the following paragraphs. First, smilodons lived in both South and North America from 1.8 million to 100,000 years ago, and through observing fossils from that period, scientists found evidence that some smilodons were wounded but still managed to survive. This raises an obvious question: Without the company of other members, how could the wounded smilodons survive? The wounded tigers needed other members of the pack to hunt for them and tend to their wounds. Fossils suggest that smilodons are social animals. Second, smilodon fossils discovered in the Rhea Kapoor tar pit in Los Angeles reflect a scene of their joint hunting at that time. An herbivore was caught in the sticky tar pit and on the verge of dying, and began attracting many hungry predators such as smilodons. However, during the process of capturing and eating the wounded beast stuck in the tar, many smilodons were also trapped in the gooey mess and died together as a group.Third, living and hunting together would have improved smilodons’competitive advantages. Though nowadays most tigers live and hunt alone, smilodons were quite different. Living in a time period where the natural environment was harsh and game was limited, smilodons had to cooperate with each other to hunt successfully, and in turn survive as a species. Then you will hear: Now listen to part of a lecture on the topic you just read about. Lecture Question Summarize the points made in the lecture you just heard, explaining how they cast doubt on points made in the reading passage.正确答案:The reading hypothesizes that smilodons, the extinct sabre-toothed tiger, were in fact social animals. The professor discounts the evidence given, claiming that none of it sufficiently proves the smilodon was a social animal. First, the reading claims that wounded smilodons were still able to survive, and this would have been virtually impossible without the aid and protection of other tigers within a pack. The professor is unconvinced, and says that smilodons were such powerful and tenacious animals that even the wounded could survive by scavenging for corpses left behind by other predators. Additionally, even wounded smilodons could have survived in harsh conditions due to their natural hardiness and physical resilience. Next, the reading suggests that fossils found in the Rhea Kapoor tar pit in California indicate a group of smilodons all drowned in the tar while trying to surround and feed on a wounded herbivore. Instead of agreeing that they died together as a pack, the professor posits that many individual smilodons became stuck in the muck at different times, while trying to get to the wounded prey. Last, the passage describes the natural advantages of smilodons cooperating as a pack. The professor disagrees, and says that smilodons were evolved perfectly for their harsh environment, with strong, furred bodies and long sharp teeth for hunting. They needed no help in surviving solo.解析:针对剑齿虎是否是群居动物,阅读文章认为它是,并提出三点理由:首先,受伤的剑齿虎存活下来可能得益于其他同伴的帮助;其次,化石上发现了一群剑齿虎留下的信息;最后,恶劣的生存环境使它们必须群体生活。
