TPO 6 婴儿健忘症那篇。。。

A third likely explanation for infantile amnesia involves incompatibilities between the ways in which infants encode information and the ways in which older children and adults retrieve it.（14） Whether people can remember an event depends critically on the fit between the way in which they earlier encoded the information and the way in which they later attempt to retrieve it. The better able the person is to reconstruct the perspective from which the material was encoded, the more likely that recall will be successful. （9）

14. There are several possible explanations why people cannot easily remember their early childhoods．
●
●
●
   Answer Choices
1.Preschoolers typically do not recall events from their first year.
2.Frontal lobe function of the brain may need to develop before memory retrieval can occur.
3.Children recall physical activities more easily if they are verbalized．
4. The opportunity to hear chronologically narrated stories may help three-year-old children produce long-lasting memories．
5.The content of a memory determines the way in which it is encoded           
6.The contrasting ways in which young children and adults process information may determine their relative success in remembering．
这个的答案是246， 不过我选的是256， 我觉的4 是细节啊。。而且5 的话上面一段是这个意思吧。。。

这个也是在线测试题~是关于风力发电的那篇的~ Paragraph 1: Since 1980, the use of wind to produce electricity has been growing rapidly. █In 1994 there were nearly 20,000 wind turbines worldwide, most grouped in clusters called wind farms that collectively produced 3,000 megawatts of electricity. █Most were in Denmark (which got 3 percent of its electricity from wind turbines) and California (where 17,000 machines produced 1 percent of the state’s electricity, enough to meet the residential needs of a city as large as San Francisco). █In principle, all the power needs of the United States could be provided by exploiting the wind potential of just three states—North Dakota, South Dakota, and Texas. █ R: [0 o2 u4 A2 O 13. Look at the four squares [■]that indicate where the following sentence could be added to the passage.- S& {!

TPO7-2
Paragraph 3 Certainly, in trying to explain the Roman phenomenon, one would have to place great emphasis on this almost instinct for the territorial imperative. Roman priorities lay in the organization, exploitation, and defense of their territory. In all probability it was the fertile plain of Latium, where the Latins who founded Rome originated, that created the habits and skills of landed settlement, landed property, landed economy, landed administration, and a land-based society. From this arose the Roman genius for military organization and orderly government. In turn, a deep attachment to the land, and to the stability which rural life engenders, fostered the Roman virtues: gravitas, a sense of responsibility, peitas, a sense of devotion to family and country, and iustitia, a sense of the natural order.


7.    Paragraph 3 suggests which of the following about the people of Latium?
○Their economy was based on trade relations with other settlements.
○They held different values than the people of Rome.
○Agriculture played a significant role in the society.
○They possessed unusual knowledge of animal instincts

黄金阅读选3，书上选1.
我当时做的时候也是在1和3犹豫，当时做的时候选的是1。因为农业没有提及，只是说土地很肥沃，有很多陆地的XXX，现在回头分析，看到答案模糊又晕了。求解呀。

Answer Choices
1.    Through their work with Virginia teachers, Wildman and Niles proved conclusively that reflection, though difficult, benefits both teachers and students.
2.    Wildman and Niles found that considerable training and practice are required to understand classroom events and develop the skills involved in reflection.
3.    Wildman and Niles identified three principles that teachers can use to help themselves cope with problems that may arise as a result of reflection.
4.    Wildman and Niles concluded that teachers need sufficient resources as well as the cooperation and encouragement of others to practice reflection.
5.    There are numerous obstacles to implementing reflection in schools and insufficient understanding of why teachers might want to reflect.
6.    Whether teachers can overcome the difficulties involved in reflection may depend on the nature and intensity of their motivation to reflect.

太巧了我也是这个题有问题

我一开始选A看了答案自己分析了一下，觉得A的错误在于把因果给倒置了~不知道对么
关键是这题太迷惑了，from the fact that所以我就往前面找答案
谁知道答案是后面关于goverment跟我原来的解题思路完全对不上


还有就是，我觉得这套题明显很多事实题和推断题（这个比较正常）都闷老长
我以前都是先看题找关键词 但是这套题里关键词都不明显，我不知道是先读文章段还是先看题了~

而且有的题段前断后都有答案排除也特别费劲

我还想问一下：看文章到底是顺着给翻译下来，还是扫过去找信息点呢？ 前者很耗时间啊，像这段我读了几遍都不太明白句子的逻辑关系。。可能还是太弱了~但是我TPO13一篇也就错1~2个。。

Ancient Egyptian Sculpture

In order to understand ancient Egyptian art, it is vital to know as much as possible of the elite Egyptians' view of the world and the functions and contexts of the art produced for them. Without this knowledge we can appreciate only the formal content of Egyptian art, and we will fail to understand why it was produced or the concepts that shaped it and caused it to adopt its distinctive forms. In fact, a lack of understanding concerning the purposes of Egyptian art has often led it to be compared unfavorably with the art of other cultures: Why did the Egyptians not develop sculpture in which the body turned and twisted through space like classical Greek statuary? Why do the artists seem to get left and right confused? And why did they not discover the geometric perspective as European artists did in the Renaissance? The answer to such questions has nothing to do with a lack of skill or imagination on the part of Egyptian artists and everything to do with the purposes for which they were producing their art.

2. Paragraph 1 suggests that one reason Egyptian art is viewed less favorably than other art is that Egyptian art lacks
○ a realistic sense of human body proportion
○ a focus on distinctive forms of varying sizes
○ the originality of European art
○ the capacity to show the human body in motion


看到答案选D后，再仔细读几遍才觉得D似乎有道理。
但是 怎么才能立即分析出这个答案呢...我一开始选了C

Paragraph 3: The most influential proponent of the coastal migration route has been Canadian archaeologist Knut Fladmark. He theorized that with the use of watercraft, people gradually colonized unglaciated refuges and areas along the continental shelf exposed by the lower sea level. Fladmark's hypothesis received additional support from the fact that the greatest diversity in Native American languages occurs along the west coast of the Americans, suggesting that this region has been settled the longest.

6. Which of the sentences below best expresses the essential information in the highlighted sentence in the passage? Incorrect choices change the meaning in important ways to leave out essential information.
○Because this region has been settled the longest, it also displays the greatest diversity in Native American languages.
○Fladmark's hypothesis states that the west coast of the Americas has been settled longer than any other region.
○The fact that the greatest diversity of Native American languages occurs along the west coast of the Americans lends strength to Fradmark's hypothesis
○According to Fladmark, Native American languages have survived the longest along the west coast of the Americas.
这个C怎么会是对的啊
明明就没有提及the region has been settled the longest...

这篇文章第二段说
For different individual horseshoe crabs, the circadian period ranged from 22.2 to 25.5 hour，第三段又说，Animals need natural periodic signals like sunrise to maintain a cycle whose period is precisely 24 hours.这个逻辑是什么。
相应的第13题我没有做对，不知道该怎么选择
Paragraph 3：Animals need natural periodic signals like sunrise to maintain a cycle whose period is precisely 24 hours. ■Such an external cue not only coordinates an animal's daily rhythms with particular features of the local solar day but also—because it normally does so day after day-seems to keep the internal clock's period close to that of Earth's rotation. ■Yet despite this synchronization of the period of the internal cycle, the animal's timer itself continues to have its own genetically built-in period close to, but different from, 24 hours. ■Without the external cue, the difference accumulates and so the internally regulated activities of the biological day drift continuously, like the tides, in relation to the solar day. ■This drift has been studied extensively in many animals and in biological activities ranging from the hatching of fruit fly eggs to wheel running by squirrels. Light has a predominating influence in setting the clock. Even a fifteen-minute burst of light in otherwise sustained darkness can reset an animal's circadian rhythm. Normally, internal rhythms are kept in step by regular environmental cycles. For instance, if a homing pigeon is to navigate with its Sun compass, its clock must be properly set by cues provided by the daylight/darkness cycle.

13. Look at the four squares [■] that indicate where the following sentence could be added to the passage.

Because the internal signals that regulate waking and going to sleep tend to align themselves with these external cues, the external clock appears to dominate the internal clock.

In lowland country almost any spot on the ground may overlie what was once the bed of a river that has since become buried by soil; if they are now below the water’s upper surface (the water table), the gravels and sands of the former riverbed, and its sandbars, will be saturated with groundwater.

pto 14 第3篇 最后一道题
Paragraph3: Nomadism has further consequences. It means that pastoralist societies occupy and can influence very large territories. This is particularly true of the horse pastoralism that emerged in the Inner Eurasian steppes, for this was the most mobile of all major forms of pastoralism So, it is no accident that with the appearance of pastoralist societies there appear large areas that share similar cultural, ecological, and even linguistic features. By the late fourth millennium B.C., there is already evidence of large culture zones reaching from Eastem Europe to the western borders of Mongolia. Perhaps the most striking sign of mobility is the fact that by the third millennium B.C., most pastoralists in this huge region spoke related languages ancestral to the modem Indo-European languages. The remarkable mobility and range of pastoral societies explain, in part, why so many linguists have argued that the Indo-European languages began their astonishing expansionist career not among farmers in Anatolia (present-day Turkey), but among early pastoralists from Inner Eurasia. Such theories imply that the Indo-European languages evolved not in Neolithic (10,000 to 3,000 B.C.) Anatolia, but among the foraging communities of the cultures in the region of the Don and Dnieper rivers, which took up stock breeding and began to exploit the neighboring steppes.

13.Directions: An introductory sentence for a brief summary of the passage is provided below. Complete the summary by selecting the THREE answer that express the most important ideas in the passage. Some sentences do not belong in the summary because they express ideas that not presented in the passage or are minor ideas in the passage. This question is worth 2 points.

By 3000 B.C., a distinctive form of pastoralism had appeared on the steppes of Inner Eurasia.

Answer Choices
○ The domesticated horse is primarily responsible for Inner Eurasian pastoralism's success in mobility and warfare.
○ As pastoralists traveled across large areas of terrain with their domesticated animals, they traded valuable material goods such as silks and jewelry.
○ Because pastoralists are highly mobile, they tend to have few material possessions and can influence the culture, ecology, and language of very large areas.
○ Because pastoralism requires a great deal of land to support its animal-based lifeway, pastoralists must continually relocate and have comparatively egalitarian societies.
○ Most scholars now believe that Indo-European languages probably evolved during the Neolithic period in the region of the Don and Dnieper rivers.
○ Pastorslist communities do not have social classes in the usual sense because they value spiritual attainment over material wealth.

解题步骤：
1.读题干，确定关键字：“one reason Egyptian art is viewed less favorably than other art is that Egyptian art lacks......”
2.回原文定位，找到定位句：In fact, a lack of understanding concerning the purposes of Egyptian art has often led it to be compared unfavorably with the art of other cultures:。比较选项发现选项中的文字并不对应这个句子。然后看到定位句有个冒号，所以看冒号后面。（提示：如果定位句本身找不到答案，就要看与定位句逻辑关系最紧密的其他句子。逻辑关系通常会通过关系词或者标点符号给出，例如本句的冒号。冒号后解释冒号前。）
3.冒号后出现三个问题：所以把这三个问题比照一下选项就可以了。
选项一中的“body propotion”文章没提过，杀掉。
选项二中的“varing sizes”没提过，杀。
选项三中的“European art”提过，但是originality不是原文信息。原文讲的是“geometric perspective”。如果这个单词不懂，那就没办法了。（几何透视）。第三个杀。（不要因为选项的字眼有一两个与文章相同就选它，一定要整个选项整体考察。）
剩下第四个。找到‘ the body turned and twisted ’，对应“in motion”。选这个。


考试中找错项往往比找正确答案容易。
如果文章读的不是很懂，可以通过选项理解原文。把原文与选项比较，无关的先排除，剩下的再比一次原文，通常答案就出来了。不要因为选项的字眼有一两个与文章相同就选它，一定要整个选项整体考察
