1.      首先是生存的需要：社会化大分工的时代特征要求我们只有在一个领域内学透，学深，才能在专业化的时代里立足生存，而且也只有把精力集中于一个学科，才能够把知识学深学透。
2.      同时也是发展的需求，很多人因为学好了自己的专业知识而在未来的工作和事业上出类拔萃，非常成功；很多employers 在录取员工的时候都倾向于专业学术成绩优秀的毕业生。即使个人创业也需要专业知识创造财富，吸引投资，举例：俞敏洪，李彦洪。。。
3.      反向追加：多学知识能够让自我素质提高：创造性，自信，音乐，书…在我们的成长中都很重要，但是一个人最后的成功还是由于专业的出类拔萃。

2006.02.03 (2006.10.28)

Do you agree or disagree with the following statement: Our present lives are easier and more comfortable than those of our grandparents. Use specific reasons and examples to support your position.
以上三个话题观点都倾向于：现在年轻人的生活压力越来越大，日子过得不容易
1．生存的基本需求：这是一个拥有着丰富的科技，文化，艺术知识体系的时代，知识体系的突然膨胀让我们需要学习很多东西才能生存：比如，driver license, TOEFL, SAT, Internet, washing machine, Microsoft office software, MSN, dancing, writing, ….
2．压力大也来源于自我欲望的膨胀：电视媒体给我们开阔了视野，让我们想要得到更多（电视话题可以套入使用）
3．这也是自发的竞争意识的结果：人类的竞争意识是随着时代的进步而越来越激烈的。
所以得出结论：
young people now can not enjoy life better than the old generation.
Our life are not better than our grandparents.
Our present lives are not easier and comfortable.
（如果可以也可以写一个辩证段落：享受生活与时代的关系不大，这与一个人的性格有很大关系，如果一个人积极，外向，乐观，则更容易享受生活，那么无论在什么时代，无论什么样的生活状态，他都可以很好的享受。）

2．然后说明这么多事情让我们无法喘息，怎么可能有时间去关心毫不相关的事情。
3．要知道我们现在压力大也来源于自我欲望的膨胀：电视媒体给我们开阔了视野，让我们想要得到更多（这仍然是老年人年轻人话题里的），所以能不去看那些虚无缥缈的东西就不去

首先是大众对名人私生活的关注导致的.

2. 展开以例证为主: E.g.很多网络媒体都大量曝光名人私生活

观点：同意--消息的真实性本身确实很难判断—尤其是网络消息
1. mass media (especially Internet) 的开放性特征决定了消息来源的不可靠。网络是允许个人自由发表言论的，多元信息的产生是自然而然的，而且言论往往不受正式的监控和审查，参与人口多和信息数量巨大也无法审查。 EG，每人每天都有可能在网络blog, 网络论坛等媒介上发表大量言论，这些言论的真伪根本无法判断。
2．举一个因为消息来源多而导致的真假难辨的案例：华南虎事件，包子，弗吉尼亚枪杀案

例子：
1，South China tiger:Thirteen government officials have been punished and a man arrested for presenting false evidence to prove the highly endangered South China tiger existed in the wild.
2，Virginia Tech massacre：
The Virginia Tech massacre was a school shooting consisting of two separate attacks approximately two hours apart on April 16, 2007, that took place on the campus of Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University (Virginia Tech) in Blacksburg, Virginia, United States. The perpetrator, Seung-Hui Cho, killed 32 people and wounded many others before committing suicide. The massacre is the deadliest peacetime shooting incident by a single gunman in United States history, on or off a school campus.
Cho, a senior English major at Virginia Tech, had been diagnosed with and was treated for a severe anxiety disorder in middle school and continued receiving therapy and special education support until his junior year of high school. While in college in 2005, Cho had been accused of stalking two female students and was declared mentally ill by a Virginia special justice. At least one professor had asked him to seek counseling.
The attacks received international media coverage and drew criticism of U.S. laws and culture from commentators around the world. It sparked intense debate about gun violence, gun laws, gaps in the U.S. system for treating mental health issues, the perpetrator's state of mind, the responsibility of college administrations, privacy laws, journalism ethics, and other issues. Television news organizations that aired portions of the killer's multimedia manifesto were criticized by victims' families, Virginia law enforcement officials, and the American Psychiatric Association.

1. 做计划能够让一个人有很强的目的性
clear goal , motivate you to learn more
2. 做计划培养一个人的责任感 responsibility 和纪律性。

3. 可以更加有效的使用时间
use time efficiently, decrease unexpected things will happen, control well and do well.

It is always so easy to comprise to desire. Maybe it is the nature of human being. We could not achieve any accomplishment if we comply with the desire. The development of the society is resulted from people’s perseverance, creativity, and cooperation with each other. If a person act in arbitrary and reckless manner, he/she is not doing society any favor, what’s worse, he/she also ruins his/her own life. No one likes the people who can not control themselves at all. In fact, lack of self-control results in most of the crimes in society. Thus self-control becomes an indispensable part of excellent personality. Self-control is just like to make a contract with you. The only thing you need to remember is never to break it till it is expired.

2007.07.21

Award students for good grades because
It is feasible to award the achievement (good grades) 分数是可以量化的
1． 分数是量化的努力，让学生们明显看到自己的成就，在心理上形成进步的驱动力
2． 好的分数往往在学校容易受到奖励，机制也是竞争机制的反应和强化，容易激发大群体的学生们向前学习进步的潜力
3． 现行的教育体制大多数是以分数为导向的，事实证明，他们还在成功的运作和成功的执行，准确地选拔人才。
2006.12.03   (72/185)
Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Grades (marks) encourage students to learn. Give specific reasons and details to support your opinion.
同意
1． 分数是量化的努力，让学生们明显看到自己的成就，在心理上形成进步的驱动力 (人往往在收到鼓励的情况下,可以学的更好,做得更好)
2． 好的分数往往在学校容易受到奖励，这本身也是竞争机制的反应和强化，容易激发大群体的学生们向前学习进步的潜力
3． 现行的教育体制大多数是以分数为导向的，事实证明，他们还在成功的运作和成功的执行，准确地选拔人才。

18 学习态度类

2007.02.24 (2007.12.15)*
Do you agree or disagree with the statement: it is more important for students to understand ideas and concepts than to learn facts? Use specific reasons and examples to support your position.

1. the importance of learning the facts.
Facts are better related with the real world which students are trying to study. 我们学习facts能让学生们更好的了解世界的真实面貌，对事实研究的好，能够更好的与生活接轨。比如我们告诉学生社交礼仪的原则是微笑，热情，大方，就不如实实在在的交给他们怎样在一个晚宴上选择适合的座位，点恰当的菜品，穿着什么样的晚礼服。我们告诉学生去美国以后要不卑不亢，艰苦奋斗，为国争光，就不如实实在在的告诉他们去了美国怎样和美国人打招呼，握手，怎样坐公交，怎样买票，怎样租房子。
（类似这样的具体的例子是非常讨喜的写作方式，具体，易操作而且容易被理解和接受）

1． The importance of understanding the ideas and concepts.
Ideas and concepts是一种高度一些的理论，这些理论往往都是通过无数的细节和事实总结出来的具有指导性质的理论。很多理论精辟，指导性强。比如，你告诉一个学生现在就应该关掉计算机了，就不如告诉他，只要电脑发烫或者运转失灵的情况下，就应该关掉计算机，那么他们往往可以在以后的日子里都能够更准确的判断操作。
3．所以要学的facts or ideas 要根据具体的情况定，不能说只学一个而不学另外一个，idea来源是facts, 而facts 又能够很好的实现idea的操作性.

2006.12.13* (68/185)
Many teachers assign homework to students every day. Do you think that daily homework is necessary for students? Use specific reasons and details to support your idea.
有必要留作业。
1. 对于一个学生来说，在学校学到的知识是最重要的（知识有用性话题）
2. 培养一个学生良好的纪律性，性格约束感，对做事的责任感
3. 可以帮你的很好的分数（分数有用论）
4．占用学生大量时间，减少青少年犯罪的可能性。

单类题目

2007.03.24*
Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Teachers should go back to school to receive further education after they have worked 5 years in their position. Give specific reasons and details to support your opinion

回去受教育的原因是：
1。 知识体系的膨胀 (社会压力类话题)
2. 是个知识输出型职业，必须有输入才行
不让他们回去受教育：
1.五年的老师是经验，活力最强的老师。
2.如果他平时自己就很懂得自我补充知识的话，就没有必要回去受教育。

涨工资
1．提高教学积极性

3. 知识体系的不断膨胀(借鉴社会压力类话题),要求老师不断的更新自己的知识,很多老师需要不断的重新受教育,这些都是巨大的成本,所以应该涨工资

2007.10.28
Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Teachers should be paid according to how well his students perform. Give specific reasons and details to support your opinion （范文在讲义100）

观点: 不同意,
1. 学生们最后的学习成果往往是他们自己学习态度的反映. 一个学生是否学的好,主要是他们自身的学习态度和学习精神. 这些东西和老师的关系比较小, 所以没必要把老师的工资和学生最终的成就挂钩. (学习态度类话题的使用)
2. 当然老师与学生的成绩是有关系的,比如很多老师曾经影响了学生们的学习态度和进取精神. 再比如老师们所教授给学生的知识对他们为来的发展很重要,但是最终老师对他们的影响还是有限的,所以把老师的工资和学生成就相挂钩不合理.

2007.10.27  
Do you agree or disagree with the following statement: Observing or studying animals can help us to understand human nature. Give specific examples and reasons to support your position.
185
A zoo has no purpose. Do you agree or disagree with the statement? Give specific examples and reasons to support your position.

观点：同意
1．通过观察动物可以帮助我们学习竞争意识：竞争的本质就是优势取胜，这个基本的生存意识所有的动物都会教会你： By observing and studying the behaviors and habits of animals in the zoo, we can learn the basic rules of surviving and living in the world. A monkey has to fight to win when he decide to be a leader of the group; birds have to show their beautiful plume and voice if they want to attract their partners; and all the animals, if they want a life free of worries, responsibilities, and pressure, have to sacrifice their freedom.  
2．动物们也会教会我们如何在合作中生存：自然界的动物都在某种程度上相互协作：meerkat 总是会有一个绍兵确保整个族群在猎食和活动过程中的安全 （可以把合作类话题小部分的带入使用）

Some people think that human needs for farmland, housing, and industry are more important than saving land for endangered animals. Do you agree or disagree with this point of view? Why or why not? Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.

正方：Save the land for human activities.
1. 人与动物的很大不同在于人类总拥有更大的力量和智慧来改造大自然和世界，甚至改造动物的生存状态。所以如果人类能够首先保证足够的生产和生活空间，保证人类的生存状态，必然会使动物的生存状态得到改变，这实际上比单纯的给动物留下土地会更有益。
2. 人类的人口数量的不断增长也需要大量的土地使用，导致相应的人类活动比如住房，购物，生产。。。对于土地的需求量要远远大于动物

反方： saving the land for endangered animals
1. 人类的生产和生活没有动物是无法展开的： 人类需要吃肉， 衣服的原料， 药品，都很大程度上取决动物的身上，食物链任何一个环节的断裂，都会对我们的生活造成巨大冲击。
2. 但是随着地球环境的恶化，很多动物的物种都在慢慢的消失：保护和维持野生动物尤其是濒临灭绝的物种，对人类有积极的影响。（环保类话题）

这片文章对例证的需求量很大
比尔盖茨是个喜欢冒险和创新的人，他成功了
肯德基的创始人喜欢冒险，他60多岁成功了
。。。。。。

Harland David Sanders, better known as Colonel Sanders (September 9, 1890 – December 16, 1980) was an American entrepreneur who founded Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC). His image is omnipresent in the chain's advertising and packaging, and his name is sometimes used as a synonym for the KFC product or restaurant itself.

At the age of 40, Sanders cooked chicken dishes and other meals for people who stopped at his service station in Corbin, Kentucky. Since he did not have a restaurant, he served customers in his living quarters in the service station. His local popularity grew, and Sanders moved to a motel and restaurant that seated 142 people and worked as the chef. Over the next nine years, he developed his method of cooking chicken. Furthermore, he made use of a pressure fryer that allowed the chicken to be cooked much faster than by pan frying.
He was given the honorary title "Kentucky Colonel" in 1935 by Governor Ruby Laffoon. Sanders chose to call himself "Colonel" and to dress in a stereotypical "Southern gentleman" style as a way of self-promotion.
After the construction of Interstate 75 reduced his restaurant's customer traffic, Sanders took to franchising Kentucky Fried Chicken restaurants, starting at age 65, using $105 from his first Social Security check to fund visits to potential franchisees.

2008.05.03
Do you agree or disagree with the following statement: technology causes children show less creativity than they were in the past. Use specific reasons and examples to support your idea.
同意：Technology causes children less creative.
1. 大量的科技产品在生活中的出现让我们习惯于科技给我们带来的舒适生活。当人们对生活的方便和舒适的需求减少，创新也随之减少。
2．但是孩子们没有创造力是非常危险的 （把2007.03.17 U.S.的话题带入一部分）。所以学校培养学生创造性和重要。

2007.09.12  
Should people be allowed to use mobile phones in public transportation? Use specific reasons and examples to support your opinion.

禁止使用手机的好处：
2007年2月12日，纽约市议会不顾市长Michael Bloomberg的反对，禁止在公共表演场合使用手机，无论是正在用手机交谈，还是刚用手机拨号，或者不出声地听电话，只要手机响了一下，一旦被发现，就会被罚款50美元。公共场所使用手机的危害很多:
1. 手机在公共场合的使用让人心情不愉快
Poll: 美国密歇根大学进行的一项民意调查显示，六成的手机用户表示在公共场合使用手机可能成为一个“最讨人厌”的行为。四成的用户表示，应该立法禁止在公开场所使用电话聊天。
2. 很多乘客打电话对设备也形成干扰
飞机的设备尤其对手机很敏感
很多顾客的健康设备也容易受到干扰：日本东京市政府最近决定禁止市民在公共交通工具内使用手提电话，原因是手机会导致心脏病人的心脏起搏器停顿，危害有心脏病的乘客安全。日本现时约２０万人安装了心脏起搏器，手机用户多达５５００万人。很多安装了心脏起搏器的乘客报称在列车上感到不适。
3. 司机打手机是一个主要的安全隐患
八成用户表示，开车时打手机是一个主要的安全隐患。在大部分欧洲国家,边驾车边打手机(不使用免提设备) 都是被禁止的，如果警察逮到，少则罚几十欧元，多则上百。英国是对驾车打手机罚款额度最高的国家。英国政府宣布，边驾车边用手机通话或发短信的人将被处以高达1000英镑的罚款。

允许在公交体系使用手机的好处:
1．Emergency
2．Strong tie with family and job
3．Take photos + Music + News and information
4．The deaf

观点：

Children now are much more difficult to be understood by their parents than 50 years ago. Do you agree or disagree with the statement? Use specific reasons and examples to support your idea.

观点: 同意现在的孩子和父母之间的代沟越来越大
1．知识体系的不断膨涨，我们要学习的东西很多，物理，化学，天文，地理，TOEFL, SAT等等，---把压力类话题带入进来。---再点题：我们的父辈根本没有机会接触这些东西，所以两代人的受教育背景的不同，必然导致理解交流难
2．当然，代沟的产生也可以被很多东西弥补。大众传媒的教育作用是不可忽略的，它们影响着孩子们的道德规范，人性思考。。。把电视类话题带入。---然后点题：但是这些影响对于解决两代人的代沟起到的作用不大。所以孩子确实很难理解。

【水晶小鱼经验谈】

NO.1阅读
阅读我做了delta，barron和OG
感觉最好最管用的还是OG，OG的重要性和用法我就不赘述了，论坛里已经有很多了，在这里我就想说下怎么能最大化的利用OG。OG的题不多，但是都很精华，比考试难度稍微简单些，我用的是第一版的，不知道第二版的题目变了没。虽然这样，我还是仔细的研究了OG的每一道题，因为我自己是阅读那种3分、4分的那种大题老是错，所以呢就仔细研究了OG给每一道题答案的解释，我发现其实解体技巧全部都在里面呢，比如就拿那种summary题来说吧，就是两种错误类型，一种是minor ideas，一种是未提及，最后研究了解题技巧之后，专门找delta上的这一类题来突击，效果很好，做完就分析。这就是我制胜的法宝了，就是各个击破啊，我最后惊奇的发现，我后面那种大题做对了，尽管前面一分的那种题错的更多了计算下来的分反而更高了。
关于教材选取么，我觉得delta，Barron的都很好啊，做这些感觉都可以的，当然了，OG是重中之重啦~~我的Barron只做了4套题，就是用来模拟的，delta是用来单项突破的，哪种题型做的不好就用它来突击。建议大家可以用Barron的第一套来摸底，然后慢慢上手，突破。
阅读总结——感觉阅读就是要总结，要把握每种题型的解法，不一定是XDF老师说的那种，而是多分析OG，总结自己做题的方法，培养自己的阅读感觉，个人认为，题不是要做的多，而是要做的精。

NO.2听力
听力我做了老托partc，longman，delta，barron和OG
听力我早期是用的longman和老托PARTC的部分联系的，方法是五遍精听法（极力推荐哦）https://bbs.gter.net/thread-914613-1-1.html这个是我在论坛做过详细阐述的:loveliness: 其实delta的听力题我没有做多少，太多了，就是吧QUIZ部分的做了，剩下的那么多连动都没动。听力也是跟阅读一样，要总结题型，像我那种professor的态度题老是做不好，最后就分析了所有这种题的答案选项，发现也就那么几种，后来就很上手了。最后用Barron做的模考，感觉很好，速度能跟得上，主要是前面用五遍精听法打好了基础，后来就很好了。我个人不太赞成听写，听一听停一停的不是真实考试的感觉呢。大家找到自己的方法就好。听力很重要的一点就是记笔记了，这个有很多人豆介绍了他们的方法，我是能记到什么就记什么了，关键是要写清楚。还有就是你自己听听力的时候，要慢慢的培养自己判断出题之处的能力，这种听力的听感是很重要的，我练到最后就能把握个4道题左右（段子题）。
听力总结——五遍精听法打基础，Barron做模考，delta突破题型，培养猜题的能力

NO.3口语
这个是大家最期待的吧，但我觉得也是最没技巧的一个了。口语的的材料就是1、2题机经，3、4、5、6、题用的是delta
因为之前考过一次，口语20，所以我下苦心练习口语了，大三上学期（我现在大三下，寒假考的托）跟一起志同道合的两个托友组成了练习小组，每周练习三次，每一一个人会被问道2道题，只练1、2题，我们是按主题分类练习的，我总结过（共十三个大类）https://bbs.gter.net/thread-913365-1-1.html，这样每周练习一个主题，说的时候跟考场要求一样，计时，录音，然后每周有一个人来进行总结，提炼这个主题的例子库，当然每个人说的会发script给总结的人。这样真的很有用，互相拓展思路，纠正口音什么的，建议大家可以找人一起练习，如果没有条件就自己练习吧，或者在论坛上加入小组也是很好的，实在没时间了就自己总结段子吧，练习总结对一二题来说就是王道，你会发现我的分类里面有很多题目都是可以合并总结使用一个例子的。大家还可以参考下我的段子库https://bbs.gter.net/thread-918704-1-1.html里面有些是很不错的哦~~关于后面的综合口语题么，我的建议还是OG,听里面的高分范例，根据人家说的总结自己的模板，当时听的时候我感觉自己就有醍醐灌顶的感觉，我发现自己之前说后面的3456题老是说不好的原因是因为没有条理，导致老是说不完，所以一个好的模板就可以帮助你有条理有逻辑的说完。还有就是阅读的内容其实可以不说的，这个也是导致我说不完的原因之一，经常发现自己说阅读的内容浪费了好多时间，最后自己越来越慌张，语无伦次。其实后面的综合题是不难的，只是我们没有组织好，口语不难，我们要有决心战胜它！！！
口语总结——关键是要多练习，不要怕自己说出来不好，而是先尝试的去说，最后在改么是吧，后面的题就是要总结，多总结。

NO.4作文
综合写作真的不难，总结好模板就是了，听力反驳阅读的写，个人感觉还是考察听力能力的。练那么几篇就好了。独立作文开始写是想分主题写的，但是自己最后没做到，参加了TOEFL互改小组，有大家的监督自己就没有这么懒了，每天认真的完成作业，看看别人的修改建议，然后改作文，个人感觉最重要的是例子的总结，自己就是准备了很多（也不是太多）可以通用的例子，这样写起来上手很快，建议用模考软件练习，一定要把握好时间，最后要留出一定时间来检查的，检查是很重要的。作文分也不是那么高，很多人考29的，就不多说了。

【听力---SSS---August 11, 2009】

Fungus Could Be Kudzu Killer
Scientists at the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Agricultural Research Service are testing a fungus that could one day be sent into battle against the land-grabbing vine kudzu.

It’s been called the “vine that ate the south（这个th的发音和ce的发音我本身就如中文中的z，zh不分一样，在自己读的时候不分，所以在听的时候也听不太出来，所以这个有的时候就成了听力中的一大问题。比如这里我就听成了什么 wine the eight source，那还可以看出就是对于很多音的发音，我好像养成了一个很不好的习惯，那就是都很含糊，觉得怎么发都差不多，但是比如这里的south和source除了尾音th和ce之外，还有一个重大的区别就是ou和our，只有我在自己发的时候都发错的状况下才有可能将south [sauθ]听成了source [sɔ:s]）.” Kudzu grows（听成了go，一方面grow和go在发音上就是差了一个中间的r，但是听起来要是不仔细分辨的话还是挺像的） so fast it can completely cover a cabin（这个词不是我的听力词汇，所以没有听出来） in the woods（听成了words，这就又暴露出了短元音和长原音之间的区分实在是没有啊，word [wə:d]，wood [wud]） in a couple of days. The invasive plant takes（听成了plan takes，也就是连读没分） over another 150,000 acres every year. Which costs another $6 million to control.

But plant pathologists（听成了plan per forugist？pathologist不是我的听力词汇啊） with the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s（这里的连读of a，听成了va，从后面的of older我听成了vodal？可以看出对于这个常见的of的连读不熟啊） Research Service have gotten promising results with a fungus that itself rapidly spreads in kudzu. The fungus is calledMyrothecium verrucaria. In early tests, the fungus killed all kudzu seedlings and at least 90 percent of older plants. Most important, Myrothecium did little or no damage（这里是只听出了little和damage，其他的都没听出来，很快，感觉little or no就是littlor no） to the species that commonly（不太主动所以听成了comingly） live in habitats infested（由于重音直接从fested来所以听不出来了，也不太主动的词汇） with kudzu, such as pine, oak, cedar, pecan, hickory, blackberry and, of course, sassafras.

So what’s the catch?（有什么内幕） The fungus produces chemicals called tricothecenes, which can damage the health of humans and animals. But the researchers discovered that if they（连得太快） grew the fungus in a fermenter（发酵槽） or on a liquid diet, the production of the toxins（ ['tɔksin]） fell precipitously（不主动）. If the fungus can be safely let loose（一连读就不知道什么了，释放，放出） one day, it could finally give kudzu the heave-ho（开除，免职，give sb the heave-ho）.

第14篇错一题，还是第一题：
Paragraph 1：The vast grasslands of the High Plains in the central United States were
settled by farmers and ranchers in the 1880’s. This region has a semiarid climate, and for 50
years after its settlement, it supported a low-intensity agricultural economy of cattle ranching
and wheat farming. In the early twentieth century, however, it was discovered that much of
the High Plains was underlain by a huge aquifer (a rock layer containing large quantities of
groundwater). This aquifer was named the Ogallala aquifer after the Ogallala Sioux Indians,
who once inhabited the region.
1．According to paragraph 1, which of the following statements about the High Plains is
true?
○Until farmers and ranchers settled there in the 1880’s, the High Plains had never been
inhabited.
○The climate of the High Plains is characterized by higher-than-average temperatures.
○The large aquifer that lies underneath the High Plains was discovered by the Ogallala
Sioux Indians.
○Before the early 1900’s there was only a small amount of farming and ranching in the
High Plains.
刚开始就是觉得每一个都不对，最后做了一个过多的推理导致了错误。还有就是认为第四个是错的原因是没有注意到红色部分。

第十五篇错3题：
Paragraph 2: An ecologist who studies a pond today may well find it relatively unchanged
in a year’s time. Individual fish may be replaced, but the number of fish will tend to be the
same from one year to the next. We can say that the properties of an ecosystem are more
stable than the individual organisms that compose the ecosystem.
3. According to paragraph 2, which of the following principles of ecosystems can be
learned by studying a pond?
○Ecosystem properties change more slowly than individuals in the system.
○The stability of an ecosystem tends to change as individuals are replaced.
○Individual organisms are stable from one year to the next.
○A change in the members of an organism does not affect an ecosystem’s properties
我选的是1而答案是4，不是很理解。

Paragraph 7：Many ecologists now think that the relative long-term stability of climax
communities comes not from diversity but from the “patchiness” of the environment, an
environment that varies from place to place supports more kinds of organisms than an
environment that is uniform. A local population that goes extinct is quickly replaced by
immigrants from an adjacent community. Even if the new population is of a different species,
it can approximately fill the niche vacated by the extinct population and keep the food web
intact.
11．Which of the sentences below best expresses the essential information in the
highlighted sentence in the passage? Incurred choices change the meaning in important ways
or leave out essential information.
○Ecologists now think that the stability of an environment is a result of diversity rather
than patchiness.
○Patchy environments that vary from place to place do not often have high species
diversity.
○Uniform environments cannot be climax communities because they do not support as
many types of organisms as patchy environments.
○A patchy environment is thought to increase stability because it is able to support a
wide variety of organisms.
对于3和4都对，但是注意这种题目我们不仅要做到意思对，还不能改变它的essence，注意原句是说stability不可能来自diversity，而应该来自环境的patchiness。
对于3这个uniform environment这个信息是相对次要的，所以不应该成为主语，呵呵。所以相比较而言还是4对。

14．Directions: An introductory sentence for a brief summary of the passage is provided
below. Complete the summary by selecting the THREE answer choices that express the most
important ideas in the passage. Some sentences do not belong in the summary because they
express ideas that are not presented in the passage or are minor ideas in the passage. This
question is worth 2 points.
The process of succession and the stability of a climax community can change over time.

Answer choices
○The changes that occur in an ecosystem from the pioneer to the climax community can
be seen in one human generation.错
○A high degree of species diversity does not always result in a stable ecosystem.对
○The level of resilience in a plant community contributes to its long-term stability.
○Ecologists agree that climax communities are the most stable types of ecosystems.错
○Disagreements over the meaning of the term “stability” make it difficult to identify the
most stable ecosystems.对
○The resilience of climax communities makes them resistant to destruction caused by
humans.
问题就在于3和6，resilience 和stability的讨论在
The question of ecosystem stability is complicated, however. The first problem is that
ecologists do not all agree what “stability” means. Stability can be defined as simply lack of
change. In that case, the climax community would be considered the most stable, since, by
definition, it changes the least over time. Alternatively, stability can be defined as the speed
with which an ecosystem returns to a particular form following a major disturbance, such as a
fire. This kind of stability is also called resilience. In that case, climax communities would be
the most fragile and the least stable, since they can require hundreds of years to return to the
climax state.
那这里作为其中的一点提出了一种stability和resilience有关。
Ecologists are especially interested to know what factors contribute to the resilience of
communities because climax communities all over the world are being severely damaged or
destroyed by human activities. The destruction caused by the volcanic explosion of Mount St.
Helens, in the northwestern United States, for example, pales in comparison to the
destruction caused by humans. We need to know what aspects of a community are most
important to the community’s resistance to destruction, as well as its recovery.
这一段是说什么东西贡献了community的resilience这一点的研究很重要。因为climax community很容易遭到破坏。

那从上面两段是看不出来3是主要论点啊。
而6我们好像可以从上面的第二段中看出来一点点，但还是没有说服力。这一题还是不懂。

【我也一直很好奇人这种动物，怎么会这么神奇呢？】
Ten mysteries of you






WHAT A STRANGE CREATURE YOU ARE
We belong to a remarkably quirky species. Despite our best efforts, some of our strangest foibles still defy explanation

But as science probes deeper into these eccentricities, it is becoming clear that behaviours and attributes that seem frivolous at first glance often go to the heart of what it means to be human.



1.Blushing

Even Darwin struggled to explain why we would evolve a response that lets others know that we have cheated or lied



2.Laughter

The discovery that laughter is more often produced at banal comments than jokes prompts the question, why did it evolve?



3.Pubic hair

Scent radiator, warmth provider, or chafe protection? The answer to why humans have clumps of hair in private places is still open for debate



4.Teenagers

Even our closest relatives, the great apes, move smoothly from their juvenile to adult life phases – so why do humans spend an agonising decade skulking around in hoodies?



5.Dreams

Today, most researchers reject Freud's belief that dreams are expressions of our unconscious desires – but if that's the case, what are they for?



6.Altruism

People still debate whether humans are genuinely altruistic by nature, but if we are, most agree it doesn't make evolutionary sense



7.Art

Sexual display, learning tool or form of social glue? Art still refuses to be pinned down



8.Superstition

Many of us have superstitions – odd, reassuring habits that make no rational sense – but there may be an underlying reason for such behaviour



9.Kissing

The urge to kiss is not brought about by genes, so why do we find it so pleasurable to share saliva?



10.Nose-picking

Many of us do it, but eating bogeys offers little nutritional reward – could there be a health reason for the unappealing habit?

Cesium Clock Faces Ytterbium Challenge
National Institute of Standards and Technology researchers are developing atomic clocks based on the element ytterbium（镱Yb，70号元素） that could outclass the cesium（铯Cs，55号元素） atomic clocks that currently set the standard.

outclass : to excel or surpass so decisively as to be or appear to be of a higher class

You’ve given some thought to oxygen, carbon, uranium. But you’ve probably never mused about the element ytterbium, symbol Yb. A new study by scientists at the National Institute of Standards and Technology, or NIST, says that ytterbium could find a role（我现在发现自己对于r的发音好像有很大的问题，我都听不出来他发的是r，想上面一篇的grow，这个r好像有点喉咙的感觉） in super-accurate atomic clocks. The report is in the journal Physical Review Letters.

The gold standard, if you will, for atomic clocks, is the element cesium, symbol Cs. Official civilian time is kept by the cesium NIST-F1 fountain clock, accurate to within one second every 100 million years. And the international definition of the second is based on exactly how many vibrations happen when a cesium atom’s electron changes energy levels. How many? 9,192,631,770. Exactly.（这一点科学小知识我觉的我们得知道，我是到现在才知道，原来一秒钟的定义是和一种原子的电子的能级变化相连）

Anyway, your watch is fine for getting to work about on time, but if you want your GPS to work fine, you need these atomic clocks on earth and on satellites. And an ytterbium clock has the potential to be even more accurate and stable than the cesium chronometer. Wow, I gotta go, look at the time.
