今天做了0310了,阅读好难啊!!!!~~~我又错了4个,听力和语法最近都还比较稳定,这次都没错,蝴蝶结JJ,阅读怎么提高啊? 还有一个问题,我错了1道词汇题,其他都是细节题,好难找啊,找得我晕晕的,而且刚好做到了55分钟,好多地方读了好几遍也没怎么能找出答案,那道词汇题我怎么也搞不明白,compelling的意思,A. JOYOUS, D FORCEFUL,compelling不是使人感兴趣的意思吗?所以顺理成章地就应该选A啊,为什么选D啊?

阅读总结

0008
The consistency of the clay was crucial:
it was pounded meticulously and mixed with water to make it entirely even in texture. By
careful kneading, the potter removed the air bubbles and made the clay as plastic as
possible, allowing it to be molded into shape as the pot was built up, When a pot is fired.
It loses its water and can crack, so the potter added a temper to the clay, a substance that
(10)        Helped reduce shrinkage and cracking.
42. Which of the following was a process used by prehistoric potters to improve the texture of
the clay?
(A) Adding temper
(B) Removing the water
(C) Beating on the clay
(D) Mixing the clay with plastic substances

0010
reformers extolled the virtues of handcrafted objects: simple, straightforward design; solid materials of good quality; and sound, enduring construction techniques.
47.        The author mentions all of the following
as attributes of handcrafted objects
EXCEPT
(A)        the pride with which they were
crafted
(B)        the complexity of their design
(C)        the long time that they lasted
(D)        the quality of their materials
我觉得第一个simple就说明了complicity（复杂性），有些答案上说一看到complicity就判定B是错误的，但是我觉得这里的complicity是复杂性的意思，而simple 正是表示复杂性低，所以不能选B，蝴蝶结解释解释这个题目，而A根本就没提到吗！

0105
Blacksmiths, silversmiths, candle makers, and other artisans worked in their homes or barns, relying on help of family

2. Blacksmiths, silversmiths, and candle makers are mentioned in lines 5-6 as examples of
  artisans who
  (A) maintained their businesses at home
  (B) were eventually able to use sophisticated
     technology
  (C) produced unusual goods and commodities
  (D) would employ only family members
这道题目为什么不选D啊？ 题目里面说是在barns 或者homes里，但是选项A只给出了homes而有的人可能会在barns里maintain他们的business，所以我觉得A错了，而D相比之下，可能更好，因为有说到relying on help of family


0108
The most important single industry powering the growth of Los Angeles, however,
was directly linked to the automobile. The demand for petroleum to fuel gasoline engines
(15) led to the opening of the Southern California oil fields, and made Los Angeles North
America's greatest refining center.

46. It can be inferred from the passage that in
1930 the greatest number of people in
the Los Angeles area were employed in
(A) farming
(B) oil refining
(C) automobile manufacturing
(D) the motion picture industry
这道题目是不是说最重要的工业其实是和汽车直接有关系的，也就是后面提到的oil refining，而不是指汽车制造业？

0209
Flying squirrels, chipmunks, and mice are also unlikely to promote tree dispersal--- whose behavior of caching (hiding) acorns below the leaf litter often promotes successful germination of acorns --- and perhaps blue jays, important long-distance dispersers, seem to help oaks spread and reproduce. among squirrels, though, there is a particularly puzzling behavior pattern.

46. It can be inferred from paragraph 3 that chipmunks do not aid in the dispersal of oak trees
because
A).they store their acorns where they cannot germinate
B). they consume most of their stored acorns
C). their stored acorns are located and consumed by other species
D). they cannot travel the long distance required for dispersal
这道题目解释解释~~我确实不懂

0210
No one has yet explained how bees, whose brains weigh four ten-thousandths of an ounce, could have inferred the location of the new site.
25.  It can be inferred from the passage that brain size is assumed to
(A)  be an indicator of cognitive ability
(B)  vary among individuals within a species
(C)  be related to food consumption
(D)  correspond to levels of activity

这道题目为什么不选D？
还有就是27题关于rudimentary 到底是original还是basic？


0201
Pheromones play numerous roles in the activities of insects. They may act as alarm
(25) substances, play a role in individual and group recognition, serve as attractants between
sexes, mediate the formation of aggregations, identify foraging trails, and be involved in
caste determination. For example, pheromones involved in caste determination include
the "queen substance" produced by queen honey bees. Aphids, which are particularly
vulnerable to predators because of their gregarious habits and sedentary nature, secrete
an alarm pheromone when attacked that causes nearby aphids to respond by moving away.

40. What does the passage mainly discuss?
(A) How insects use pheromones to communicate
(B) How pheromones are produced by insects
(C) Why analyzing insect pheromones is difficult
(D) The different uses of pheromones among various insect species
从这里偶就推断出选D，明明讲了好多种用途，答案为什么选的是A啊？

0310
还有就是0310的第50题还是不懂，没有电子版的，帮忙看一下，不知道为什么选B。

27.以前应该解释过了，是original，查查字典就明白了

40.D的意思是不同种类昆虫使用的信息素也不同，重点偏了，原文意图并不是various insect species

50.我也没有电子版……

Currently there is a public controversy over the best way to educate students. Some say that self-tutoring is a better method, while others claim that the teachers’ assistance is vital for people’s (a sound) education. On a personal level, I deem self-tutoring a better method of education.
Admittedly, teachers’ assistance is valuable in several aspects. With a teacher’s advice, students can usually clarify their misunderstandings and solve their problems quickly, while they probably have to spend a lot more time themselves in order to obtain the same result. Teachers can also track the students’ study and discipline them by giving praise and punishment.
However, for the majority of the students, a teacher’s aid is not really necessary. Students with little self-discipline cannot learn better whether or not under the teachers’ instructions, and there are many other ways to solve one’s problems other than consulting with a teacher.
On the other hand, self-tutoring has several unparalleled advantages. First, self-tutoring can offer the students a more flexible schedule. When I prepared for the TOEFL test, I was studying on my own, and this enabled me to have a schedule that could be adjusted according to my need at any time. Had I been with a teacher, I might have had to abide by his or her schedule and changes might have been relatively difficult.
Second, self-tutoring gives students freedom as well as responsibility. When students choose to learn by themselves, they know that they will be fully responsible for their study and gradually become more motivated. I have many friends scoring higher learning independently than with a teacher, because they know that without a teacher, they have nobody else to blame except themselves.
Based on the discussion above, I would say that I prefer to study by myself since from the experience of my friends as well as my personal experience, independent learning gives students a more dynamic schedule and greater motivation.
