做完了 但没写作文
阅读语法都有一两分钟超时 一定要提高速度了

3825putUID: 2125345

语法的37题:
over the entirely surface of earth, there is not a cubic inch of air nor an ounce of soil in which water is not present.
这道题A是错了 但C nor放在那儿好象也不大对啊?

xlmzUID: 2136020

对的呀。呵呵

3825putUID: 2125345

nor 不是一般和neither连用吗 可以这样用吗?

3825putUID: 2125345

阅读的24题 "synonymous with" is closest in meaing to "familar with"?
觉得应选A呢 synonymous"不是同义的 内涵相当的"意思吗
还有35题"land is largely the site of erosion"觉得应该选C 而不是D D明显不对

3825putUID: 2125345

还有阅读的46题 答案是A
但原文是:flying squirrels,chipmunks,and mice are also unlikely to promote tree dispersal---whose behavior of caching acorns below the leaf litter often promotes successful germination of acorns....
怎么刚好和A相反呢?
:L不好意思把错的题都问了一遍 希望大家指点一下

3825putUID: 2125345

怎么都没有人回应呢?是不是这套题过于简单了。。。但我的问题。。

不一定,这个句子是表示或者的两者选择,
而且是否定所以要用nor,
如果是肯定的话,就是or了

以下的阅读题目都是2002.09的toefl真题，发现自己似乎做的特别差，拿出来和大家一起讨论一下题目，谢谢大家的帮助！

Question 11-21
In the North American colonies, red ware, a simple pottery fired at low temperatures, and stone
ware, a strong, impervious grey pottery fired at high temperatures, were produced from two
different native clays. These kind of pottery were produced to supplement imported European
pottery. When the American Revolution (1775-1783) interrupted the flow of the superior European
(5) ware, there was incentive for American potters to replace the imports with comparable domestic
goods. Stoneware, which had been simple, utilitarian kitchenware, grew increasingly ornate
throughout the nineteenth century, and in addition to the earlier scratched and drawn designs,
three-dimensional molded relief decoration became popular. Representational motifs largely
replaced the earlier abstract decorations. Birds and flowers were particularly evident, but other
(10)subjects---lions, flags, and clipper ships--- are found. Some figurines, mainly of dogs and lions,
were made in this medium. Sometimes a name, usually that of the potter, was die-stamped onto a
piece.
As more and more large kilns were built to create the high-fired stoneware, experiments revealed
that the same clay used to produce low-fired red ware could produce a stronger, paler pottery if
(15)fired at a hotter temperature. The result was yellow ware, used largely for serviceable items; but a
further development was Rockingham ware--- one of the most important American ceramics of the
nineteenth century. (The name of the ware was probably derived from its resemblance to English
brown-glazed earthenware made in South Yorkshire.) It was created by adding a brown glaze to
the fired clay, usually giving the finished product a mottled appearance. Various methods of
(20)spattering or sponging the glaze onto the ware account for the extremely wide variations in color
and add to the interest of collecting Rockingham. An advanced form of Rockingham was flint
enamel, created by dusting metallic powders onto the Rockingham glaze to produce brilliant
varicolored streaks.
Articles for nearly every household activity and ornament could be bought in Rockingham ware:
(25)dishes and bowls, of course; also bedpans, foot warmers, cuspidors, lamp bases, doorknobs,
molds, picture frames, even curtain tiebacks. All these items are highly collectible today and are
eagerly sought. A few Rockingham specialties command particular affection among collectors and
correspondingly high prices.

11. Why did the potters discussed in the passage change the kind of pottery they made?
A). They discovered a new kind of clay.
B). They were compensation for the loss of an overseas supplier.
C). They studied new techniques in Europe.
D). The pottery they had been producing was not very strong.

一开始做这道题就感觉有点玄机，因为the potters discussed in the passage在文章中似乎不是很明确指代。看完全文后发现似乎对应的还是L5所说的American potters，根据L4 When the American Revolution (1775-1783) interrupted the flow of the superior European ware, there was incentive for American potters to replace the imports with comparable domestic goods.照我的理解是美国革命阻止了欧洲优质器具的进入，于是美国本土陶匠自己生产。答案选择B。不过正确答案似乎是D，我不知道这个答案是怎么得出的，大家有什么看法？

Question 22-31
Archaeological discoveries have led some scholars to believe that the first Mesopotamian
inventors of writing may have been a people the later Babylonians called Subarians. According to
tradition, they came from the north and moved into Uruk in the south. By about 3100B.C, They
were apparently subjugated in southern Mesopotamia by the Sumerians, whose name became
(5) synonymous with the region immediately north of the Persian Gulf, in the fertile lower valleys of the
Tigris and Euphrates. Here the Sumerians were already well established by the year 3000B.C.
They had invented bronze, an alloy that could be cast in molds, out of which they made tools and
weapons. They lived in cities, and they had begun to acquire and use capital. Perhaps most
important, the Sumerians adapted writing (probably from the Subarians) into a flexible tool of
(10)communication.
Archacologists have known about the Sumerians for over 150 years. Archaeologists working at
Nineveh in northern Mesopotamia in the mid-nineteenth century found many inscribed clay tablets.
Some they could decipher because the language was a Semitic one (Akkadian), on which scholars
had already been working for a generation. But other tablets were inscribed in another language
(15)that was not Semitic and previously unknown. Because these inscriptions mad reference to the
king of Sumer and Akkad, a scholar suggested that the mew language be called Sumerian.
But it was not until the 1890's that archaeologists excavating in city-states well to the south o f
Nieveh found many thousands of tablets inscribed in Sumerian only. Because the Akkadians
thought of Sumerian as a classical language (as ancient Greek and Latin are considered today),
(20)they taught it to educated persons and they inscribed vocabulary, translation exercised, and other
study aids on tablets. Working from known Akkadian to previously unknown Sumerian, scholars
since the 1890's have learned how to read the Sumerian language moderately well. Vast quantities
of tablets in Sumerian have been unearthed during the intervening years from numerous sites.

24. The phrase "synonymous with" in line 5 is closest in meaning to
A). equivalent to
B). important for
C). respected in
D). familiar with
查阅了webster，发现synonymous似乎就是同义的意思，怎么会答案选择D呢？根据原文的意思看似乎是以人种的名字来命名地名，两者是相同的，应该选择A啊，不解～～～

Question 32-40
Generally, in order to be preserved in the fossil record, organisms must possess hard body parts
such as shells or bones. Soft, fleshy structures are quickly destroyed by predators pr decayed by
bacteria. Even hard parts left on the surface for and length of time will be destroyed Therefore,
organisms must be buried rapidly to escape destruction by the elements and to be protected
(5) agents of weathering and erosion Marine organisms thus are better candidates for
fossilization than those living on the land because the ocean is typically the site of sedimentation,
whereas the land is largely the site of erosion.
The beds of ancient lakes were also excellent sites for rapid burial of skeletal remains of
freshwater organisms and skeletons of other animals, including those of early humans Ancient
(10)swamps were particularly plentiful with prolific growths of vegetation, which fossilized in
abundance. Many animals became trapped in bogs overgrown by vegetation. The environment of
the swamps kept bacterial decay to a minimum, which greatly (aide(D)in the preservation of plants
and animals. The rapidly accumulating sediments in flood plains, deltas, and stream channels
buried freshwater organisms, along with other plants and animals that happened to fall into the
(15)water.
Only a small fraction of all the organisms that have ever lived are preserved as fossils. Normally,
the remains of a plant or animal are completely destroyed through predation and decay. Although
it seems that fossilization is common for some organisms, for others it is almost impossible. For
the most part, the remains of organisms are recycled in the earth, which is fortunate because
(20)otherwise soil and water would soon become depleted of essential nutrients. Also, most of the
fossils exposed on Earth’s surface are destroyed by weathering processes. This makes for an
incomplete fossil record with poor or no representation of certain species.
The best fossils are those composed of unaltered remains. Generally, it is the inorganic hard parts,
composed mostly of calcium carbonate, that form the vast majority of unaltered fossils. Calcite and
(25)aragonite also contributed to a substantial number of fossils of certain organisms.

L5我知道agent有动因，因素的意思，但是整个句子用cause替代以后是什么意思呢？Therefore, organisms must be buried rapidly to escape destruction by the elements and to be protected cause of weathering and erosion.
Protected在这里是形容词吗？organisms must be buried rapidly to be protected cause of weathering and erosion.怎么讲？

35. The fact that the "land is largely the site of erosion" (line 7) is significant because
A). erosion is less destructive than sedimentation
B). fossils are most common in areas subject to erosion
C). erosion contributes to the destruction of skeletal remains
D). few organisms live in areas that experience extensive erosion
老实说感觉没有一个答案比较准确，因为原文说这话的意思是说明为何海洋生物比陆地生物更容易变成化石，那么从这个意义上来理解就是选项C比较合适了，反观正确选项D，感觉莫名其妙，说很少有生物生长在大规模侵蚀的地区。不知道few从何而得出。


Question 41-50
Naturalists and casual observers alike have been struck by the special relationship
between squirrels and acorns (the seeds of oak trees). Ecologists, though, cannot observe
These energetic mammals scurrying up and down oak trees and eating and burying acorns
without wondering about their complex relationship with trees. Are squirrels dispersers
(5) and planters of oak forests or pesky seed predators? The answer is not simple. Squirrels
may devour many acorns, but by storing and failing to recover up to 74 percent of them
(as they do when seeds are abundant), these arboreal o\rodents can also aid regeneration
and dispersal of the oaks.
Their destructive powers are well documented. According to one report, squirrels
(10)destroyed tens of thousands of fallen acorns from an oak stand on the University of
Indiana campus. A professor there estimated that each of the large while oaks had
Produced between two and eight thousand acorns, but within weeks of seed maturity,
Hardly an intact acorn could be found among the fallen leaves.
Deer, turkey, wild pigs, and bears also feed heavily on acorns, but do not store them,
(15)And are therefore of no benefit to the trees. 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. Squirrels
(20)pry off the caps of acorns, bite through the shells to get at the nutritious inner kernels,
and then discard them half-eaten. The ground under towing oaks is often littered with
thousands of half -eaten acorns, each one only bitten from the top. Why would any animal
waste so much time and energy and risk exposure to such predators as red-tail hawks only
to leave a large part of each acorn uneaten? While research is not conclusive at this point,
(25)one thing that is certain is that squirrels do hide some of the uneaten portions, and these
acorn halves, many of which contain the seeds, may later germinate.

一句句子始终没有看懂：Squirrels may devour many acorns, but by storing and failing to recover up to 74 percent of them (as they do when seeds are abundant), these arboreal rodents can also aid regeneration and dispersal of the oaks.什么叫by storing and failing to recover up to 74 percent of them？

45. Why does the author mention “the University of Indiana campus" in line 10-11
A). To provide evidence that intact acorns are hard to find under oak trees
B). To indicate a place where squirrels can aid seed dispersal of oaks
C). To argue in favor of additional studies concerning the destructive force of squirrels
D). To support the claim that squirrels can do great damage to oak stands
可能就是那句全文中比较关键句子的无法理解，所以造成我对这道题目的歧义。我知道全文作者想说的是松树对于橡树不完全是破坏作用，也可能会帮助其繁殖生长之类。但是从这道题目看，问“the University of Indiana campus"案例的用处，回到原文，似乎就是说明松树destructive power的，我的理解也就是选择D，说明它是有这种破坏能力的。选项C可能对于全篇可能是一个正确的解释，但是就从这个案例来说我看不出它说明了松鼠会帮助regeneration之类的意思，所以我认为C似乎不应该做正确选项。
