4月12日下午托福考試兩套寫作延續(xù)了上午場，重復(fù)了23年和24年3月的一些舊題。反而是口語部分，題目相對面生一些。除了有一個獨(dú)立題重復(fù)了去年10月26日的題，其余托福題目都比較零散?？嫉降念l次沒有太高。

主題：是否1500萬年前南極洲的溫度更高

閱讀部分：

1. 科學(xué)家在南極洲發(fā)現(xiàn)了1500萬年前的兩種樹的花粉粒 (pollen grain)。這種樹適宜的生長溫度要比現(xiàn)在的南極洲溫度高。

2. 在Middle Miocene時(shí)期，曾有多次火山噴發(fā)，釋放出大量二氧化碳，導(dǎo)致大氣中的二氧化碳含量更高，從而使南極洲溫度上升。

3. 在1500萬年前生長的植物中發(fā)現(xiàn)了大量的氘 (deuterium)，而大量的氘也就意味著降雨量大。大量降雨通常與溫度上升有關(guān)。

聽力部分：

1. 在南極洲發(fā)現(xiàn)的花粉粒并不一定來源于南極洲。由于花粉粒非常輕，它們可以被風(fēng)或者海水從溫度較高的地區(qū)，比如南美或者新西蘭，帶到南極洲。

2. 其次，盡管當(dāng)時(shí)南極洲多有火山噴發(fā)，然而先進(jìn)的檢測方法證明當(dāng)時(shí)大氣中的二氧化碳含量并沒有上升，反而比現(xiàn)在更低。

3. 最后，植物中存在大量的氘并不總意味著雨量增加。不同植物能夠吸收和存儲的氘量是不同的。所以，很可能當(dāng)時(shí)南極洲的雨量和現(xiàn)在相似，但當(dāng)時(shí)生長在那里的植物能夠吸收并儲存更多的氘。

學(xué)術(shù)討論

論軟實(shí)力的重要性

This week, we'll examine issues in education reform. For example, some educators think that by focusing mainly on foundational knowledge in subjects like reading, math, and science, schools are not fully preparing students for success in the workplace. These educators argue that soft skills---nonacademic skills such as being empathetic or having a strong work ethic---should be part of the curriculum, with classroom time dedicated to developing these skills. Do you agree? Why or why?

Claire

l agree. Soft skills are important because they affect how well students do their work.

Andrew

Soft skills are important, but I don't agree with using classroom time to work on them.

因?qū)W點(diǎn)評

本次考試的學(xué)術(shù)題重復(fù)了2024年3月6號的題，題目屬于教育類話題。這個題目關(guān)注于未來教育改革，期待學(xué)生能夠在學(xué)習(xí)學(xué)術(shù)知識的同時(shí)，還可以結(jié)合未來職場技能，我們一起考看一下雙方的思路建議。

支持Claire

1. The main reason is that the integration of soft skills into the curriculum plays a crucial role in the holistic development of students.

2. Also, if teachers include the idea of resilience in the curriculum, they are helping students navigate setbacks and challenges, preparing them not only for academic hurdles but also for the inevitable difficulties they will face in life.

支持Andrew

1. First, soft skills are often intangible and difficult to quantify objectively.

2. Another hurdle in integrating soft skills into the curriculum lies in the area of teacher training. This is because many teachers may not have received adequate guidance on how to do this.

第五套

綜合寫作
主題： 是否應(yīng)該保護(hù)prairie dogs

閱讀部分：

1. Cattle farmers argue against the protection of prairie dogs because these animals compete with cattle for grass, creating an economic problem for agriculture. 對農(nóng)業(yè)有害。

2. Prairie dogs carry insects that can transmit the plague bacteria to humans so that they may represent a serious hazard. 有傳染病。

3. Prairie dogs have not much ecological importance to broader ecosystem since they don’t belong to species at the top of the food chain. 對于生態(tài)體系不重要。

聽力部分：

1. Currently, most of the cows feed on processed food and they live in enclosed feeding areas, which means that grass is not as precious as it was before. Also，according to some study, the activities of prairie dogs facilitate the fertility of soil in the grassland. 目前牲畜都是圈養(yǎng)，同時(shí)prairie dogs還可以促進(jìn)土壤肥沃。

2. The kind of flea living on prairie dogs doesn’t tend to live on the bodies of human beings, which makes it less likely for the transmission of plague to happen. 這種跳蚤不傳染人。

3. Although prairie dogs are only plant-eaters, they actually play a vital role in ecological system. Prairie dogs對于生態(tài)體系非常重要。

學(xué)術(shù)討論
如何幫助新生適應(yīng)新學(xué)校

This week we will discuss issues faced by secondary school administrators. I'm referring to schools for teenage students. One such issue is students who change schools. Students change schools for many different reasons, the most common being a family move. On the discussion board, l want you to exchange ideas about what schools can do to make the transition to a new school easier for teenagers.

Paul

I think schools should assign new students a fellow student who can help them adjust.

Claire

I would require new students to sign up for some school club or activity that meets outside of class.

因?qū)W點(diǎn)評

本次考試的學(xué)術(shù)題重復(fù)了2024年3月2號以及8月21號下午場的題目。題目不算太難，是一個開放式的題目，學(xué)生們在破題時(shí)，既可以選擇給出的兩個方向，也可以自己發(fā)揮。今天我們這邊從支持Paul 的看法以及再選一個新的角度出發(fā)，給大家做一個破題。

支持Paul （peer mentor）

1. To begin with, a fellow classmate can better understand the challenges and concerns that new students may face during their transition to a new school.

2. Also, The "student buddy" can introduce the new student to classmates and help him or her establish connections with others, thus facilitating the integration of new student into the school community quickly.

另辟蹊徑，選擇老師（staff support）

1. First, if class teachers can give individualized attention to new student, he is more likely to adjust to a new school environment.

2. In addition, when a student transfer to a new school, high-quality instructions and assistance from teachers would help him to understand his strength and thrive academically.

2.Speaking

第四套

Task 1

Do you agree or disagree with the following statement?

Good teachers admit when they have made a mistake or do not know something.

Use a specific example to support your point of view.

因?qū)W點(diǎn)評

這個題從agree的角度更好講，符合我們對于一個“好老師”的認(rèn)知，我們給出的范答也是這個角度。但是如果想從disagree的角度講，也不是不行，比如如果一個老師經(jīng)常犯錯，雖然承認(rèn)錯誤的態(tài)度很好，但也說明這個老師不夠?qū)I(yè)。

范文：

I agree that good teachers usually stand corrected when making a mistake or admit they don’t know everything. First, these teachers are honest, and I think the most important quality of a good teacher is honesty. An honest teacher can not only win respect and trust from their students, which are critical to the relationship between a teacher and students, but also set a good example to students and inspire them to become honest people as well. Moreover, students can develop critical thinking skills if they have such teachers. For example, my geography teacher in high school always tells us not to believe everything he says because he sometimes makes mistakes, and we need to collect the data and explore the subject on our own. So I become a more independent learner. 

Task 2
University Web Site Should Include Student Events

Task 3
Waterway Restoration

Task 4
Psychological Safety

第五套

Task 1
Some people think historical sites should be open to the general public, but some people think historical sites should only be open to experts and researchers. Which do you think is better？

因?qū)W點(diǎn)評

這個題難度不大，從兩個角度都很容易找到理由。范答是從開放給公眾的角度來講的，如果是從只開放給專家的角度來講，可以說一方面，專家能從歷史古跡中得到最有價(jià)值的信息，而游客都是走馬觀花，另一方面，游客多了很容易對歷史古跡造成破壞。

范文：

I support the idea that the general public should have access to historical sites. First, citizens are entitled to visit the historical sites in their country. The government is normally responsible for the protection of most historical sites, and the protection fees come from the taxes people pay, so the historical sites should be rightfully open to people living in this country. Furthermore, it’s a great way to strengthen cultural exchange when historical sites in a country are open to the public, including foreign visitors. People can become more interested in local history and cultures after seeing the ancient relics and monuments in person, and foreign visitors will gain a deeper insight into the culture of the country they visit.
