考题解析
Disagreed:
Adaptations can be very important when onepulls off in a specific situation. To achieve constant success, however,requires stable performances based on one's reliable techniques or excellencein a field. Take mathematics as an example, unlike fashion field requiring tobe flexible as the market fluctuates, math always follows explicit instructionsof which the principles cannot be altered. More realistically, the majority ofstudents are still assessed by their academic scores when being admitted intofamed universities. Without solid foundations, most of us cannot realize thedream of tertiary education even if we are capable of adjusting ourselves inmany occasions.

Conversation 2 话题分类：学生和教授内容回忆：学生creativewriting上节课没有来，老师已经分下去一个writing的任务，他和另外一个没来的学生一组。要写一个story of letters.他以前读的Henry Adam的书，教授说这种形式不行。接着他说想写一个email为主体的故事，教授说他以前读过类似的，但是要特别注意不要写成只是词语的往复。教授举了一个message on fridge 的例子，是一对母女用这样的方式交流，它有力地express了自己的内容。
综合写作重复2014.12.14 大陆托福真题阅读主要观点提取总论点：历史学家称第一个绕非洲航行的是腓尼基人。根据一些古代的资料，历史学家指出是埃及王国雇佣腓尼基人来完成绕非洲航行的。然而，有很多其他的历史学家认为事实并非如此。理由一：在公元前600年的时候，腓尼基人的航海技术不足以支撑他们完成非洲航行。他们的船只非常小，而且只有一个简单的方帆。这样的技术只适合在腓尼基附近的地中海航行，并不适合长期在非洲航行。理由二：古埃及人对于探索世界没有兴趣。所以埃及国王没有理由去雇佣腓尼基人去探索非洲。理由三：绕非洲航行的记载可能只是水手编造出的一个故事，然后被传播开来。在古代，编故事然后将它当它散播并不罕。在那时候，海怪和魔力岛的故事就非常普遍。听力主要观点提取总论点：是埃及王国雇佣腓尼基人来完成绕非洲航行的。理由一：腓尼基人是有能力航行非洲的。在二十世纪，一些科学家使用一模一样的材料复制出了当时腓尼基人的船只，结果他们使用这只船成功的完成了绕非洲航行。理由二：不同于大部分的古埃及人，埃及国王Necho二世对于探索世界很感兴趣。例如，他对水运就很感兴趣，因此他启动了一个项目去连接埃及的河流和外面的运河。他想发展水运的目的可能是为了和其他国家有贸易往来。所以他很有可能为了寻找新的贸易伙伴，而雇腓尼基人去探索非洲。理由三：一些记载上的事实表明腓尼基人不可能编故事。当腓尼基人向南航行很远远的距离的时候，他们发现正午十二点的太阳是是在北边而不是南边。这个现象只发生于难办就，而腓尼基人来自北半球，所以如果不是他们真的去到了南半球，他们是不会观察到这个现象的。满分范文： The passage states that Egyptian king, Necho II, didn't hire Phoenician sailorsto sail around Africa. In contrast, the professor says it is more possible thatPhoenicians were hired by Necho II to sail around Africa.
First, the writer states that the Phoenician didn't have the necessarytechnology that allows them to sail around Africa. However, the professorargues that the Phoenician had the ability to sail around Africa. Somescientists and shipbuilder used exactly the same materials and techniques tobuild a copy of an old Phoenician ship and the scientists successfully sailedthis copied ship around Africa. So, Phoenician ships might good enough fordistant voyages.
Second, the reading mentions that ancient Egyptians are generally uninterestedin exploring the world beyond their kingdom. But the professor indicates thatNecho II had a different perspective in exploring areas outside Egypt. Forexample, he starts a project to connect Egyptian rivers and seas to canals fortrading purposes. As a result, he probably hired the Phoenician sailors to sailaround Africa to help them discover new trading partners.
Third, professor contradicts the reading by saying that the Phoenician sailorswere unlikely to invent the story because they had already reported some facts.For instance, when they sail far to the south, they notice that the sun was inthe northern part of the sky at mid-day, which exactly happens in the southernhemisphere. The fact is the Phoenicians comes from the northern hemisphere.Thus, only they had actually gone to the southern hemisphere, could observe thesun.
1、It is true that the technique was simple, butscientists made it to sail around Africa merely by the ships that theyrecreated by using the exact same techniques and materials at the Phoeniciantime.
2、埃及国王们的确普遍是不喜欢探索外面的世界，但是Necho II was very interested in watertransportation. 他开发建了canals等等。因此有可能他支持海外航海，因为他wanted to find new trade partners
3、在腓尼基人的航海故事中有着关于Sun's position的详细记载： After 12 o'clock，they found the sun was in the north when theywere at the Southern Hemisphere，在南半球看到太阳在北部，这对于在北半球的古代人来是说是很难编出来的， difficult for them to make up.

综合写作阅读：一组航海的人不是某个king雇佣的。 1.他们没有necessarytechnology 2.这个king不喜欢explore the world beyond Egypt 3.journey可能是sailors编造的听力： 1.可能有technique，科学家们用当时available的材料build copy of ancient ship, 这个船可以成功的sail around afriaca. 2.king喜欢watertransportation,有可能找到tradingarea, 发展交易partners. 3.日记里记录的太阳在正午的时候是南/北[记不清了]的，和sailors老家的方向是相反的，所以他们不能编造这个unless they observed the sun themsleves.

关于澳大利亚megafaunaextinction 原因的“气候说”争论
一个科学家说是因为有些megafauna不能完成从大体型到小体型到改名而灭绝了。另一个说是因为气候变化导致大体型动需要大量的水和食物大量减少，然后还有一个科学家说，气候变化使得大型动物群被分散成很大small groups 被困在有限的areas里，当这个小范围的水和食物没有之后，这些动物有没有体力再travel to 其他的area，所以他们最终die out。

题型：社会生活类分析：难度系数一般思路：同意（找具体的答法）主体段1：have an understanding of one’spersonalityand character 每个人的性格特点都不同，从而所喜欢的书籍和电影也不一样。比如说，有些人喜欢一些爱情片或者爱情小说，如傲慢与偏见，这样的人可能会比较浪漫一点或情绪化一点；有些人喜欢看科幻片，这样的人可能爱探索，喜欢创新。因为不同性格特点的人，会有不同的喜爱和倾向，所以通过书籍和影片可以反映出一个人的性格特点。主体段2：know the work field one belongs to工作领域由于如今社会竞争激烈，职场对每个人的要求比较高，大家需要不断地更新知识，提升自己，选择去看很多的书籍和影片。比如，教师会看一些教育类的书籍和电影，可以掌握更多的教育理念和经验。律师看一些法律相关的著作和影片，了解更多的法律法规和案例。因为不同领域的人去提升自己，所以也可以了解其工作类型。注：每段列举2-3个方面进行展开
