11月8日托福綜合寫(xiě)作預(yù)測(cè)

1. 110709CN
　　閱讀：GM plant有好處 ：可以導(dǎo)入抗蟲(chóng)基因,少用殺蟲(chóng)劑,有利于保護(hù)環(huán)境；可以耐干旱,在非洲種可以提高農(nóng)民收入；可以讓大米里含更多維生素a,防止維 a 缺乏；
　　聽(tīng)力：認(rèn)為 gm 的好處被夸大了：這種基因如果擴(kuò)散到野草里,那野草也該瘋長(zhǎng)了,一樣破壞生態(tài)平衡；農(nóng)民往往用去年的種子播種,用 gm 種子的話就得年年買(mǎi)新種子,多花的錢(qián)也許比多賺的還多；含維生素a 的蔬菜有的是,含量還比這種 gm 大米高，為什么不建議人們吃蔬菜就得了。

2. 120217CN
　　閱讀：防止Asian carp 進(jìn)入Great Lakes 的三種方案：1. construct walls in Great Lakes；2. 利用 electrical charged device to eliminate Asian carp；3.  two-step measure. First, 通過(guò) toxic chemicals 把所有魚(yú)毒死。Second, 再引進(jìn) native species.
　　聽(tīng)力：認(rèn)為閱讀所提及的方案不可行：1. 這個(gè)對(duì) shipping 有影響,cargo 要從一個(gè)船 reload 到另一個(gè)船上,增加了 cost；2. 這樣無(wú)法覆蓋全面,carp 可以游到other side 從而進(jìn)入lake ；3. 這種做法總來(lái)試過(guò),unpredictable,dangerous. 而且利用 toxic chemical 之后可能會(huì)導(dǎo)致 whole ecosystem 發(fā)生變化, 不利于魚(yú)類(lèi)生長(zhǎng)。

3. 120224CN
　　閱讀：T.Rex 這種食肉恐龍跑的快的原因：1.吃其他跑的很快的食草動(dòng)物。 2.胯骨和跑的很快的老虎一樣。 3.化石上證明腳趾大,兩個(gè)腳分的遠(yuǎn),站著感覺(jué)很強(qiáng)壯，所以跑的快。
　　聽(tīng)力：反對(duì)閱讀，不認(rèn)為跑的快：1.吃死的食草動(dòng)物,因?yàn)樗�鼻子厲�?能聞到死尸味道。2.胯骨雖然長(zhǎng)的和老虎一樣,但是骨頭要脆要弱。3.肌肉不是能跑的肌肉,弱的很。

4. 120428CN
　　閱讀：解釋Stone 為什么能夠被搬到很遠(yuǎn)的地方：1. 風(fēng)吹的；2. ice 把 stone 包裹起來(lái),滑下去的時(shí)候帶動(dòng) stone 移動(dòng)；3. 人為 move。
　　聽(tīng)力反駁閱讀觀點(diǎn)：1. 石頭有移動(dòng)的痕跡,說(shuō)明阻力很大，由于石頭很重,不可能有這么大的風(fēng)能吹動(dòng)。2. 那個(gè)地方不會(huì)有那么大的冰層,temperature 不夠低,水不夠充足；3. 因?yàn)槭悄嗟?如果有人存在,會(huì)有痕跡,但是沒(méi)有痕跡，并沒(méi)有人或馬的腳印。

5. 120825CN
　　閱讀：在 Rhone river 的河底,考古學(xué)家發(fā)現(xiàn)了一個(gè) bust(就是一 種頭部雕塑),人們認(rèn)為這個(gè) bust 是 Julius Caesar 的。理由: 1. styleofthesculpture:頭像的藝術(shù)風(fēng)格正好是Caesar的 那個(gè)年代的,叫“realist style”；2. resemblance to Caesar’s other portraits : Caesar 年代的 silver coin 上有他的頭像,和考古發(fā)現(xiàn)的這個(gè) bust 非常相似,特別是頭發(fā)；3. locationofthebustfound:Caser后來(lái)被推翻,所以民眾 不敢在新的國(guó)王統(tǒng)治下還保留 Caesar 的頭像,所以就扔河 里了,很說(shuō)得通。
　　聽(tīng)力：反駁閱讀觀點(diǎn)：1. realism 又不是在 Julius Caesar 的時(shí)代才有,在 Julius Caesar 死后還持續(xù)了很久,可能 bust 是其他人的作品；2. 僅僅是與coin上hair一樣,bust的鼻子卻和coin 上的不同,要是出自同一人,all features should be consistent with each other；3. 被人扔在河邊也不是因?yàn)檎�治因�?只是單純的 廢品。人們不可能很早就埋好了這個(gè)半身像,為了顯示 自己對(duì)JuliusCaesar的崇敬。

6. 121124CN
　　閱讀：講 congestion pricing。說(shuō)為了緩解交通擁堵,想要在 city 中的某個(gè)區(qū)域收費(fèi),這樣就能緩解一下：1. 這樣做可以 improve time(主要就是說(shuō)節(jié)省時(shí)間)
2. 可以改善環(huán)境 improve that area's environment；3. 收的 fee 可以用于 revenue。 the city 可以再修路, 修橋什么的。
　　聽(tīng)力反駁：
　　1. 這樣做有些司機(jī)不愿意花錢(qián)走這個(gè)區(qū)域就得繞路,更浪費(fèi)時(shí)間。舉例:送快遞的,他們要省錢(qián),所以送快遞的時(shí)候會(huì)變長(zhǎng)。 2. 在收費(fèi)區(qū)里面環(huán)境可能會(huì)好點(diǎn),但是周?chē)�的�?chē)相對(duì)就 會(huì)增多,noise and air pollution 就會(huì)多。所以不是整個(gè) city 都能環(huán)境變好3. 有的人不能 afford 這個(gè)費(fèi)用了,就會(huì)去坐 subway,政 府就得出更多的錢(qián)維護(hù) subway,這樣一來(lái)收的那點(diǎn)錢(qián)可 能還不夠維護(hù)的,所以也不能起到幫助修橋,修路什么的作用了。

7. 121208NA
　　閱讀：關(guān)于大象有三種很奇幻的說(shuō)法：1. 大象能預(yù)知自己將死,并找到水邊獨(dú)自死去, 形成 “grave”。 2. 大象有藝術(shù)和繪畫(huà)的能力，能拿筆畫(huà)畫(huà)，能用鼻子畫(huà)花。3. 大象怕小老鼠（實(shí)驗(yàn)）。
　　聽(tīng)力：1. 大象是因?yàn)槔狭硕�牙齒脫落,要軟的食品,只能吃軟的草, 而在水邊才容易找到。body 多在水邊發(fā)現(xiàn),并不是他們能感知死亡。2. 大象會(huì)畫(huà)畫(huà)是因?yàn)橛腥擞?xùn)練它 教它動(dòng)作(訓(xùn)象人用摸耳朵 大象怕小老鼠(有個(gè)實(shí)驗(yàn)把 他和老鼠放在一 的方式)并不是它真的有能力。3. 大象不是怕老鼠,是因?yàn)樗鼘?duì)沒(méi)見(jiàn)過(guò)的東西警覺(jué),這是動(dòng)物本能,因?yàn)樗�突然冒出�?lái)了,本能躲了一下。熟悉了之后就不怕了。當(dāng)動(dòng)物園里的大象(對(duì)老鼠熟悉了),就根本不在乎了。

8. 130118NA
　　閱讀：越來(lái)越多的人對(duì)在大公司上班失去了興趣, 轉(zhuǎn)而自己開(kāi)公司(self-employed)：1. 大公司上班有太多 bureaucracy,難以實(shí)現(xiàn)自己的 idea。2. 大公司上班工作穩(wěn)定感大大不如從前。3. 大公司最近幾年不提供 extra benefits,比如退休。
　　聽(tīng)力：1. 自己開(kāi)公司要面對(duì)的手續(xù)會(huì)更多。2. 自己開(kāi)公司明顯更有風(fēng)險(xiǎn),穩(wěn)定感更不強(qiáng)。3. 自己開(kāi)公司 extra benefits 更沒(méi)有保證。

9. 130406NA
　　閱讀：coal ash 污染很?chē)?yán)重，但不需要new regulation：1. 相關(guān)的 regulation 已經(jīng)存在,要求 company to use LINER on the ponds；2. 他怕新的嚴(yán)格的規(guī)定,會(huì)讓人們不敢再買(mǎi) recycled coal ash。3. increasing cost。 電費(fèi)會(huì)漲十倍,大眾會(huì)不接受。

聽(tīng)力：說(shuō)需要: 1.原本的規(guī)定只要求 company 在新的 ponds 上用 liner,old ones are not required.所以現(xiàn)在 old ponds 還是會(huì)產(chǎn)生許多 coal ash, 會(huì)進(jìn)入地下水,最后污染飲用水。 2.professor 舉了 mercury 的例子:在 mercury 的問(wèn)題上也有很?chē)?yán)格的 regulation, 但是人們依然在買(mǎi) recycled mercury forover 50 years. 3.電費(fèi)確實(shí)會(huì)漲到多少多少 billion,但是平均到人頭上,每個(gè)人的電費(fèi)就只漲了 1%而已。It is not a big price to pay to have a cleaner environment.

10. 131214NA
　　閱讀：關(guān)于富蘭克林遠(yuǎn)征船隊(duì)的鉛中毒死亡。有人認(rèn)為是灌裝 視頻里的鉛中毒引起。 文章說(shuō)不是這樣的(不是因?yàn)殂U中毒死亡),理由：1. 因?yàn)楣揞^食物不可能有毒。2. 沒(méi)有接到同一時(shí)期的其他鉛中毒船員的 reports。3. 可能海水清潔system的鉛pipe讓船用的飲用水有毒
　　聽(tīng)力反駁：
　　1. 罐頭食物可能是有毒的,因?yàn)閱T工 pressure 時(shí)間緊迫, 鉛 ran down into; 2. 鉛中毒的癥狀比如頭疼可能被認(rèn)為是海上的 common symptom; 3. 水清潔系統(tǒng)和飲用水系統(tǒng)是separately的,不可能是污染了飲用水
