2018年7月14日托福寫作機經(jīng)精準預測
題目: 討論腓尼基人有沒有航行到歐洲過。
閱讀:Phoenicians had not been sent to sail around the Africa.
1. 船及設備太簡陋,跑不了那么遠(simple technology)。
2. 埃及統(tǒng)治者對航海沒有興趣, 國王也沒有理由去雇傭 sailors。
3. 這可能就是一個故事,因為當時有了sea monster 和magical islands 的故事,所以sailor 的故事也可能是編造的。
聽力: Phoenicians 的確sail 到過歐洲。
1. 盡管當時的船跟simple, 但是后來有科學家仿造了他們的船,并用這個船到達了非洲。
2. 雖然其他埃及統(tǒng)治者不感興趣,但是N 二世和別的帝王不一樣,他喜歡water trading,他有可能派人去find new trading patterns。
3. 有很多確定的細節(jié),比如確定的日子,和天氣,如果是編的,不可能如此詳細
題目: 討論冠恐鳥Gastornis 是不是食肉鳥類。
閱讀:
Gastornis is a carnivore bird.
1. Its overall appearance resembles other meat-eating birds like terror birds.
2. It has a large, powerful beak to cut through meat and bones.
3. It has large talons at its feet to capture foods.
聽力:
1. It resembles both meat-eating and plant-eating birds so the appearance cannot determine it's a carnivore. Eg. It has the same feature as the
ostriches and emus.
2. It has a straight beak instead of curved beak. The straight beak is more likely to be used on plants such as nuts.
3. The foot prints left by Gastornis don't show claws. The last bone of itsfoot maybe the structure, not a talon.
