Tpo6 William Smith

Paragraph 2: This was before the steam locomotive, and canal building was at its height. The companies building the canals to transport coal needed surveyors to help them find the coal deposits worth mining as well as to determine the best courses for the canals. This job gave Smith an opportunity to study the fresh rock outcrops created by the newly dug canal. He later worked on similar jobs across the length and breadth of England all the while studying the newly revealed strata and collecting all the fossils he could find．Smith used mail coaches to travel as much as 10000 miles per year．In 1815 he published the first modern geological map “A Map of the Strata of England and Wales with a Part of Scotland”,  map so meticulously researched that it can still be used today．

3. Which of the following can be inferred from paragraph 2 about canal building?
○ Canals were built primarily in the south of England rather than in other regions．
○ Canal building decreased after the steam locomotive was invented．
○ Canal building made it difficult to study rock strata which often became damaged in the process．
○ Canal builders hired surveyors like Smith to examine exposed rock strata．
为啥选第二个啊 文章没说decreased的内容啊 不是说不能随便推断么
本段后半部分不就是说的第四个的意思么Canal builders找Surveyor来find。然后Smith也是干Surveyor这行的，通过studying the newly revealed strata来find。

Paragraph 5: Not only could Smith identify rock strata by the fossils they contained, he could also see a pattern emerging：certain fossils always appear in more ancient sediments while others begin to be seen as the strata become more recent. By following the fossils, Smith was able to put all the strata of England's earth into relative temporal sequence. About the same time, Georges Cuvier made the same discovery while studying the rocks around Paris. Soon it was realized that this principle of faunal (animal) succession was valid not only in England or France but virtually everywhere. It was actually a principle of floral succession as well, because plants showed the same transformation through time as did fauna. Limestone may be found in the Cambrian or-300 million years later-in the Jurassic strata but a trilobite—the ubiquitous marine arthropod that had its birth in the Cambrian—will never be found in Jurassic strata, nor a dinosaur in the Cambrian.

10. The word “virtually” in the passage is closest in meaning to
○possibly
○absolutely
○surprisingly
○nearly
Virtually是事实上的意思 在but后面语气应该是较强烈的 为何不能选absolutely？

11. Select the TWO answer choices that are true statements based upon the discussion of the principle of faunal succession in paragraph 5. To receive credit, you must select TWO answers.
○It was a principle that applied to fauna but not to flora．
○It was discovered independently by two different geologists，
○It describes how fossils are distributed in rock strata
○It explains why plants and animals undergo transformations through time．
不明白为什么选第三个不选第四个 我觉的文章没有说how fossils are distributed啊
第四个plant和animal就是faunal不是都提及了么？为什么不能选啊？

3：
第2个选项的确是infer的。根据第一句中的before，at its height
第4个选项比较迷惑。要注意canal公司雇佣surveyor的目的。到原文中找：“The companies building the canals to transport coal needed surveyors to help them find the coal deposits worth mining as well as to determine the best courses for the canals.”。红字部分是原因。而后面提到的exposed/newly excavated rock strata是挖掘的后果，而不是雇佣surveyor的目的。

***********分割线************

10：
词汇题。
virtually

Function: adverb
Date: 15th century
1 : almost entirely : nearly
2 : for all practical purposes <virtually unknown>

引自http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/virtually

***********分割线************

11：
首先注意所有选项的it指代什么。不是指paragraph，而是指the principle of faunal succession。根据第一个选项也能看出来。
这样选项3就解决了（第一句冒号面的部分）。看最后一个，原文中说到植物的部分：“It was actually a principle of floral succession as well, because plants showed the same transformation through time as did fauna.”。这句解释了为何这个理论也适用于植物（因为他们转变过程相似），而没有解释为何动植物会转变。

Tpo6 infantile amnesia
Paragraph 3: Three other explanations seem more promising．0ne involves physiological changes relevant to memory. Maturation of the frontal lobes of the brain continues throughout early childhood．And this part of the brain may be critical for remembering particular episodes in ways that can be retrieved later. Demonstrations of infants’ and toddlers' long-term memory have involved their repeating motor activities that they had seen or done earlier，such as reaching in the dark for objects, putting a bottle in a doll’s mouth, or pulling apart two pieces of a toy. The brain’s level of physiological maturation may support these types of memories，but not ones requiring explicit verbal descriptions.

5. What does paragraph 3 suggest about long-term memory in children?
○Maturation of the frontal lobes of the brain is important for the long-term memory of motor activities but not verbal descriptions．
○Young children may form long-term memories of actions they see earlier than of things they hear or are told．
○Young children have better long-term recall of short verbal exchanges than of long ones．
○Children’s long-term recall of motor activities increases when such activities are accompanied by explicit verbal descriptions
文勇和saavedro版主的答案冲突了 到底该怎么选？


再次感谢 十分感谢
伟大的战士 发表于 2009-12-18 13:09

我选2。看看原文的关键句：
Demonstrations of infants’ and toddlers' long-term memory have involved their repeating motor activities that they had seen or done earlier。。。The brain’s level of physiological maturation may support these types of memories，but not ones requiring explicit verbal descriptions.
2中的 action对应原文的"motor activities"；see earlier和原文一致；hear or are told=explicit verbal descriptions
4中：原文没有提到伴随语言的motor activities会增加记忆。

其实我觉得难点在于 原文为何要提到when such activities are accompanied by explicit verbal descriptions。我的理解是：关于脑垂体的理论解释了为什么很多成人能记住的儿时记忆是行动，而不是语言。

不知道说清楚了没有。

对于你阅读的问题 肯定是你自己最清楚啦  还是你自己去发掘 我只能说 看题的时候要更仔细一点 有好几个问题都是对题目中关键词的理解稍微有偏差

至于你说pace问题，我猜测你是不是做题的时候还要回去把那一段重新看一遍？这样自然就浪费时间了
阅读主要2个方法：
有人先扫一眼文章  然后仔细看题做
有人精读一遍 做题的时候就就尽量不回头看
看你习惯哪一种了 或者说哪一种更省时间
我是喜欢第二种 因为精读的时候对全文主旨也有比较好的了解
说到底还是看你习惯了
我的宗旨是：读一遍 就要读懂 记住

TPO 9 REFLECTION IN TEACHING
这篇读的我发疯，题做的我快崩溃了……感觉难度突然提高了很多……

Paragraph 2: Wildman and Niles were particularly interested in investigating the conditions under which reflection might flourish-a subject on which there is little guidance in the literature. They designed an experimental strategy for a group of teachers in Virginia and worked with 40 practicing teachers over several years. They were concerned that many would be "drawn to these new, refreshing conceptions of teaching only to find that the void between the abstractions and the realities of teacher reflection is too great to bridge. Reflection on a complex task such as teaching is not easy." The teachers were taken through a program of talking about teaching events, moving on to reflecting about specific issues in a supported, and later an independent, manner.
5. According to paragraph 2, Wildman and Niles worried that the teachers they were working with might feel that
○the number of teachers involved in their program was too large
○the concepts of teacher reflection were so abstract that they could not be applied
○the ideas involved in reflection were actually not new and refreshing
○several years would be needed to acquire the habit of reflecting on their teaching
这道题定位句很容易就能找到：They were concerned that many would be "drawn to these new, refreshing conceptions of teaching only to find that the void between the abstractions and the realities of teacher reflection is too great to bridge. Reflection on a complex task such as teaching is not easy。但是有两个问题，第一定位句中的many指的是teacher吗？还是翻译成很多人？第二文章哪里表达出了so abstract that they could not be applied这层意思？

Paragraph 3: Wildman and Niles observed that systematic reflection on teaching required a sound ability to understand classroom events in an objective manner. They describe the initial understanding in the teachers with whom they were working as being "utilitarian...and not rich or detailed enough to drive systematic reflection." Teachers rarely have the time or opportunities to view their own or the teaching of others in an objective manner. Further observation revealed the tendency of teachers to evaluate events rather than review the contributory factors in a considered manner by, in effect, standing outside the situation.
7. According to paragraph 3, what did the teachers working with Wildman and Niles often fail to do when they attempted to practice reflection?
○Correctly calculate the amount of time needed for reflection
○Provide sufficiently detailed descriptions of the methods they used to help them reflect
○Examine thoughtfully the possible causes of events in their classrooms
○Establish realistic goals for themselves in practicing reflection
请楼主先帮忙翻译下这个题干吧.谢谢。再解释下，谢谢。

Paragraph 6: The work of Wildman and Niles suggests the importance of recognizing some of the difficulties of instituting reflective practice. Others have noted this, making a similar point about the teaching profession's cultural inhibitions about reflective practice. Zeichner and Liston (1987) point out the inconsistency between the role of the teacher as a (reflective) professional decision maker and the more usual role of the teacher as a technician, putting into practice the ideas of others. More basic than the cultural issues is the matter of motivation. Becoming a reflective practitioner requires extra work (Jaworski, 1993) and has only vaguely defined goals with, perhaps, little initially perceivable reward and the threat of vulnerability. Few have directly questioned what might lead a teacher to want to become reflective. Apparently, the most obvious reason for teachers to work toward reflective practice is that teacher educators think it is a good thing. There appear to be many unexplored matters about the motivation to reflect-for example, the value of externally motivated reflection as opposed to that of teachers who might reflect by habit.
10. According to paragraph 6, teachers may be discouraged from reflecting because
○it is not generally supported by teacher educators
○the benefits of reflection may not be apparent immediately
○it is impossible to teach and reflect on one's teaching at the same time
○they have often failed in their attempts to become reflective practitioners
首先，想问下，题干中的 teachers may be discouraged 文章哪有对应，或哪有提及。然后就是B选项从何而来？谢谢

我的问题又来了 斑竹大人千万别烦我啊
Tpo5 MINERALS AND PLANTS
Paragraph6: Only recently have investigators considered using these plants to clean up soil and waste sites that have been contaminated by toxic levels of heavy metals – an environmentally friendly approach known as phytoremediation. This scenario begins with the planting of hyper accumulating species in the target area, such as an abandoned mine or an irrigation pond contaminated by runoff. Toxic minerals would first be absorbed by roots but later relocated to the stem and leaves. A harvest of the shoots would remove the toxic compounds off site to be burned or composted to recover the metal for industrial uses. After several years of cultivation and harvest, the site would be restored at a cost much lower than the price of excavation and reburial, the standard practice for remediation of contaminated soils. For examples, in field trials, the plant alpine pennycress removed zinc and cadmium from soils near a zinc smelter, and Indian mustard, native to Pakistan and India, has been effective in reducing levels of selenium salts by 50 percent in contaminated soils.


11 It can be inferred from Paragraph6 that compared with standard practices for remediation of contaminated soils, phytoremediation
does not allow for the use of the removed minerals for industrial purposes.
can be faster to implement
is equally friendly to the environment
is less suitable for soils that need to be used within a short period of time.
我知道选项123都不对 但不明白4为什么对，原文说phytoremediation是cost much lower，时间上是several years，难道就是short period of time？这个太抽象了吧？several是多少，多少是short多少是long？貌似前面有题是因为many太抽象而排除，就是在线测试Electricity from Wind那篇的12题。Saavedro版主全解析版本，说第四选项一系列国家的名字不等于many country概念，因为many太虚，无法定义多少才是many。那用在此题岂不是一样？多少several才是short？呃，好纠结，阅读怎么总上不去啊，这么多问题，我什么毛病啊？版主大人救我！在下把Electricity from Wind那一题贴在下面，省的版主大人东奔西找了。
Paragraph 6: The technology is in place for a major expansion of wind power worldwide. Wind power is a virtually unlimited source of energy at favorable sites, and even excluding environmentally sensitive areas, the global potential of wind power is much higher than the current world electricity use. In theory, Argentina, Canada, Chile, China, Russia, and the United Kingdom could use wind to meet all of their energy needs. Wind power experts project that by the middle of the twenty-first century wind power could supply more than 10 percent of the world’s electricity and 10-25 percent of the electricity used in the United States.
12. Which of the following statements most accurately reflects the author’s opinion about wind energy?
○Wind energy production should be limited to large wind farms.
○The advantages of wind energy outweigh the disadvantages.
○The technology to make wind energy safe and efficient will not be ready until the middle of the twenty-first century.
○Wind energy will eventually supply many countries with most of their electricity.

Meteorite Impact and Dinosaur Extinction （ETS官方模考题）

Paragraph 7: Earth is a target in a cosmic shooting gallery, subject to random violent events that were unsuspected a few decades ago. In 1991 the United States Congress asked NASA to investigate the hazard posed today by large impacts on Earth. The group conducting the study concluded from a detailed analysis that impacts from meteorites can indeed be hazardous. Although there is always some risk that a large impact could occur, careful study shows that this risk is quite small.


12. According to the passage, who conducted investigations about the current dangers posed by large meteorite impacts on Earth?
○Paleontologists
○Geologists
○The United States Congress
○NASA
原文United States Congress asked NASA to investigate，那不是United States Congress 来conduct （引导）的么，NASA只是被动的听话啊，为什么不选3? 对不起，这还是一道送分题我都错了而且还没想明白，我脑子浆糊了。

gexuming 发表于 2009-12-19 17:56

这篇难度的确比较大。讨论的题目本身就很抽象，要专心看才行。

Q5：
many指代的是 practicing teachers；“太抽象以至于不能被运用”的对应原文：“the void between the abstractions and the realities of teacher reflection is too great to bridge”。抽象理论和现实之间的差距太大，难以弥合。
Q7：
题干的意思：和W，N合作的教师经常在哪一个方面无法进行反思？ working with Wildman and Niles 是修饰teachers，后面的they是指teachers。题目的关键词：fail to do，practice reflection。回原文，其实这一段就是在说教师经常缺乏sound ability to understand classroom events in an objective manner，导致reflection的失败。主题句在第一句，后面都是展开。但是四个选项没有一个明白说到understand classroom events in an objective manner。因此找和这个短语意思接近的句子。定位在这一段最后一句：Further observation revealed the tendency of teachers to evaluate events rather than review the contributory factors in a considered manner by, in effect, standing outside the situation.句首的Further observation说明这是在展开说understand classroom events in an objective manner这个能力。这句的关键词：review the contributory factors 和standing outside the situation。这两个词组等同于：possible causes；in an objective manner。所以答案就清晰了。或者用排除法做也行，不写啦。（这题真的很绕。。。）
Q10：
对应may be discouraged 的词组：第一句“some of the difficulties ”。关于选项B：“More basic than the cultural issues is the matter of motivation.”和后面一句的“vaguely defined goals ”

最后说一下，虽然这篇讨论的东西很抽象，文章的基本结构其实还是一样。每一段的主题句经常出现在开头（not always though），注意看开头和其他句子的关系，有利于了解文章主旨。另外paraphrase的能力很重要，很多题选项看似迷惑，其实抓住原文的关键句子paraphrase就很明了了。

伟大的战士 发表于 2009-12-19 23:09

再读一下第四个选项：“is less suitable for soils that need to be used within a short period of time.”不适合短期需要清理的土壤。为什么？因为原文说需要several years种树什么的。所以several years不代表这是short period of time，actually正好相反。至于你说的长短，是相对的，这里相对的两个概念就是standard practices for remediation 和phytoremediation
（题干已说明）。这两者比较，种树（几年）就是long time，传统的方式就是short time。

联系你说的wind power那一篇。我认为不是many的问题，当然，many也可能是部分原因。我的看法是：选项4的eventually不代表作者的观点（注意题干the author’s opinion）。因为看原文，有两句话提到风力可以大范围供电：In theory, Argentina, Canada, Chile, China, Russia, and the United Kingdom could use wind to meet all of their energy needs. Wind power experts project that by the middle of the twenty-first century wind power could supply more than 10 percent of the world’s electricity and 10-25 percent of the electricity used in the United States.注意红字部分，都说明作者本人没有明确同意风力就能给很多地区供电。

阅读题想的多是好事，其实ibt阅读现在有些像逻辑题了。

这题在于你对conduct的理解有偏差
conduct investigations/research 之类的词组中，conduct表示施行/做。所以题目问的是是谁在做这个研究。那就很明显是NASA了。另外加一点common sense，US Congress是一个政治体，不是科研机构。

TPO3  Architecture
Paragraph 5：█ Modern architectural forms generally have three separate components comparable to elements of the human body; a supporting skeleton or frame, an outer skin enclosing the interior spaces, equipment, similar to the body’s vital organs and systems. █ The equipment includes plumbing, electrical wiring, hot water, and air-conditioning. █Of course in early architecture—such as igloos and adobe structures—there was no such equipment, and the skeleton and skin were often one.
█

12．Look at the four squares [ █ ] that indicate where the following sentence could be added to the passage.
However, some modern architectural designs, such as those using folded plates of concreter or air-inflated structures, are again unifying skeleton and skin.
